ما تعريف الدولة المدنية في الإسلام؟

The term "civil state" is a modern one, used in contrast to a military state, and it refers to a state governed by non-military personnel. It is often applied to a state governed by an elected class through a democratic system. The state in Islam is based on specific foundations and principles that differ entirely from the democratic system, even if they may agree on some matters. Therefore, one must be cautious about using such terms so that truth is not confused with falsehood.
