About the Book

Imagine a governance system that aligns material development with spiritual and ethical values, aiming to create a society where prosperity and morality go hand in hand. Abdellatif Raji's Heaven is Under the Feet of Governments delves into such a paradigm by introducing the Maqasid model-a governance framework rooted in ethical principles that transcend conventional administrative functions. This book advocates for integrating spiritual and moral values into secular governance to foster justice, compassion, and societal well-being.
The Essence (80/20)

  1. The Maqasid Framework:
    • Core Principles: Maqasid encompasses a set of objectives aimed at preserving religion (Din), life (Nafs), intellect (Aql), lineage (Nasl), wealth (Mal), homeland (Watan), and community (Ummah).
    • Holistic Approach: It extends beyond traditional governance by integrating spiritual well-being, ensuring that policies cater to both material and ethical dimensions of human life.
    • Universal Values: Although rooted in Islamic jurisprudence, the principles of Maqasid are adaptable to diverse cultural and religious contexts, emphasizing universal values like justice, compassion, and equality.
  2. Ethical Governance:
    • Policy Making with Purpose: Governance should not only address economic growth but also prioritize social justice, ethical integrity, and community welfare.
    • Judiciary's Role: The judicial system must align with Maqasid principles to ensure fairness and uphold the moral foundations of society.
    • Global Relevance: Maqasid provides a framework for addressing contemporary global challenges such as environmental sustainability, social inequality, and ethical governance.
  3. Challenges and Adaptability:
    • Cultural Sensitivity: Implementing Maqasid requires careful adaptation to different cultural contexts, ensuring inclusivity and respect for diverse traditions.
    • Potential Misinterpretations: There is a need to distinguish between using spiritual principles as ethical guidelines and enforcing specific religious practices, which could lead to resistance in pluralistic societies.
The Action Plan
  1. Incorporate Ethical Values in Policy Development:
    • Step 1: Identify Core Values
    • Step 2: Integrate into Legislation
    • Step 3: Continuous Review
  2. Promote Inclusive and Holistic Governance:
    • Step 1: Engage Stakeholders
    • Step 2: Educational Initiatives
    • Step 3: Transparent Communication
  3. Address Cultural and Social Challenges:
    • Step 1: Cultural Adaptation
    • Step 2: Conflict Resolution
    • Step 3: Inclusive Policies

Blind Spot
A potential misconception in applying the Maqasid model is the assumption that it directly translates to religious governance. In reality, Maqasid should serve as a universal ethical framework, not a mandate for religious practice. Its principles are intended to enhance governance by infusing it with moral integrity and compassion, applicable in both secular and religious contexts. The challenge lies in maintaining a balance between ethical guidance and respecting the pluralistic nature of modern societies.

Explore the transformative power of ethical governance in "Heaven Is Under the Feet of Governments. "This compelling read delves into the Maqasid framework, advocating for policies rooted in universal values to create just societies. Perfect for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in societal change, this book offers a blueprint for integrating spirituality into governance.
