Islam Hadhari ( Arabic الإسلام الحضاري) or "Civilizational Islam" is a theory of government based on the principles of Islam as derived from the Qur'an . It was originally founded by Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1957 (but under a different name), and is now being promoted by the current Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi . It consists of 10 fundamental principles.
CRITICISM OF ISLAM HADHARI Redundancy of moderating Islam Some Muslims believe that Islam is already moderate and encompasses life in every part of this world. To them, extremism exists in the form of misinterpretation and selective interpretation of the Qur'an and the Hadith s. Therefore, the word "Hadhari" is redundant, and may cause the misunderstanding that Islam by itself is not already moderate. However, Islam Hadhari has been welcomed by those who fear that PAS , the main Islamic opposition party in Malaysia is too extreme with its goals. Redundancy of the term "Hadhari" Some Muslims also believe that Islam is a religion and philosophy that encompasses all types of lives including developed civilizations. Therefore, the word ''Hadhari'' (Civilization) is redundant. Islam Hadhari as mere government rhetorics On the other hand, the concept of Islam Hadhari as a moderate doctrine also came into question by examining Article 121 (1A) of the and the frequent occurrences of moral policing seem to suggest that Islam Hadhari is mere rhetorics. ETYMOLOGY The Arabic word حضارة ''ħadāra'' (from which "Hadhari" is derived) refers to both "civilization" and "settled life" or "sedentariness" (i.e. not being nomadic), so that the term Islam Hadhari implicitly contrasts itself with the Islam of nomads or bedouin.
