Islam emulates the pattern according to which God governs His kingdom; it is an imitation of the cosmic order manifested here in this worldly life as a social as well as political order. The social order of Islam encompasses all aspects of man's physical and material and spiritual existence in a way which, here and now, does justice to the individual as well as the society; and to the individual being as well as the individual as the spirit, so that a Muslim is at once himself and his Community, and his Community is also he, since every single member strives, like him, to realize the same purpose in life and achieve the same goal.
