An Analysis of the Evaluation of Islamic Laws in Pakistan from 1988 to 1999
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
In Pakistan, there has always been a strong desire for Islamic law, or Sharia. The Islamic nature of Pakistan's political structure was discussed as soon as the country was established. One of the primary reasons that the process of drafting a constitution was delayed was the place of religion in the political structure. Islam emerged as the primary determining element in 1949 with the ratification of the Objectives Resolution. Still, there was a persistent push for further Islamization of the legislation. Different Islamic laws were introduced at different times. In this regard, the General Zia era is more notable. This article aims to highlight the Islamic legislation that was implemented following the reign of Zia. According to the paper, Zia's death did not mark the end of the process of Islamization. It remained a popular subject, especially as a potent campaign slogan. IJI, which Nawaz Sharif led, and later PML-N were more interested in employing religious rhetoric during elections; PPP, on the other hand, also occasionally employed religious cards.
