Social Harmony and Governance: A Case Study of Muslim States
In developing political systems, the nature of conflict is far different from the developed ones. The type of conflict is also dependent on the composition of society; in heterogeneous communities, the nature of conflict is more complex and deeply rooted. In these societies, conflicts can impact the governance of the state and its format. These conflicts can be overcome through nation-building and by the engagement of people in specific ideologies. In the case of ideological affiliations, religion is the dominant factor that can engage and dominate other ethnology-lingual and social differences. In Muslim countries, effective governance can be achieved by promoting social harmony. This paper investigates the role of religion in promoting social harmony and its implications for governance. Its role in creating a unified society based on social harmony, equality, and political and economic justice.
