Naveed-e-Fikr
Naveed-e-Fikr is a collection of essays by Sibte Hassan focusing on political Islam, theocracy, secularism, and the concept of an Islamic state. He explores what theocracy (or divine governance) means, its origins, and how it differs from secular governance. The book examines whether the idea of an Islamic state is grounded in Qur’an and Hadith, and whether secularism is inherently in conflict with religion. Drawing on historical developments in India, the Middle East, and Pakistan, Hassan critiques authoritarian religious rule and dispels misconceptions about secularism. He argues for democracy, rationalism, and religious reform through ethical rather than coercive means.
