Political and Legal System of Islam gives a broad and indepth view of Islamic governance and legal system on which further Islamic developments can be achieved. Secular society normalizes sins, making them acceptable in the mind. Zeal, eagerness to resist, fight sins are diminished. Evil is empowered as a result, with eventual decline and annihilation of society. Muslims become marginalized. Let's Islamize Muslim-majority counties.

Man is superior to woman in Islam and in nature. Islam has given equitable rights, duties, and responsibilities for both man and woman as part of God’s hierarchical human organization on earth. Both man and woman complement each other just as leadership and the “led/ruled” complement each other. The sooner Muslims and world accept the divine and natural social construct the better is for the Muslim and humanity.

This paper proposes the need for the patriarch social construct. The patriarch social construct has been historical and evolutionary. The paper emphasized the need to see through the scientific and social justifications of establishing the patriarchy rather than populism and trend of rejecting it. The paper discussed why patriarch social construct is needed and why failure to adopt such a social construct is harmful and detrimental to the individual, the family, the society and the wider demography. The paper has used extensive sociological and psychological research on gender studies. The obstacle to patriarchy has also been discussed and it has been shown that gender equality is logically and ontologically impossible to achieve. The paper also revealed the irrationality of the bias “affirmative action” policy and implied, why if we can adopt such policy towards matriarchy then why cannot we adopt the rational “affirmative action” policy towards patriarchy? The paper has reached the conclusion based on the sex and gender differences between man and woman.
