Abstract
A body called the Islamic Ideology was established even before the preceding important measures, that have been referred to above were taken. This body was charged with the duty of examining the laws enacted during the British rule and even after the creation of Pakistan, to see whether any provision repugnant to the injunctions of Islam existed therein. Accordingly, a large number of laws in force in Pakistan were examined and the Council made recommendations to amend several laws which contained provisions repugnant to the injunctions of Islam .As far as Islamisation of laws is concerned, all customary laws which denied the right of inheritance to females in respect of agricultural property have been repealed withe the result that now every heir, male or female, is entitled to his or her share as fixed by the Shariat with absolute property rights therein vesting in them including complete right of disposing it off. The factual position today, therefore, is that practically all the laws in force in Pakistan have been brought in accord with the Islamic injunctions. Accordingly, from the formal aspect, an Islamic polity bas been established. What remains is the will of its inhabitants to act with and conform the will of its inhabitants to act with and conform their conduct to the Islamic precepts.
