Analytical study of the modern Islamic society: Managing social and muamalah integrated with the Qur’anic guidance as in the early Islamic era

Abstract

Among the diverse tribes of the Arabian Peninsula, early Muslim communities successfully formed the most ideal and civilized society, according to historical records. The implementation of Islamic law generated a high level of social interaction, which contributed to the Islamic golden age beginning with the time of Prophet Muhammad and the Rashidun Caliphate. This transformation was facilitated by divine revelation, which provided direct guidance from Allah SWT. These instructions not only governed internal social and political relations within the Muslim community but also shaped their interactions with the broader global society. Social principles derived from the Qur’an have remained relevant throughout Islamic history and continue to guide Muslim societies worldwide. In the context of increasing diversity and complexity in modern Muslim societies, it is essential to adhere to these Qur’anic principles in both social and political affairs. This adherence ensures the formation of a peaceful, just, prosperous, and spiritually fulfilling society aligned with the will of Allah SWT.
