“Introduction of Islamic Ideology Council”
The Council of Islamic Ideology is a constitutional body that advises the legislature
whether or not a certain law is repugnant to Islam, namely to the Qur'an and Sunna.
This website is designed to provide information about the activities of the Council in this
regard. It is updated frequently.
History in brief
The Council of Islamic Ideology was established as Advisory Council of Islamic Ideology
on August 1, 1962 under the Article 199 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of
Pakistan 1962, which provided for the constitution of the Council (Articles 199 - 203), its
functions (Article 204), rules of procedure (Article 205), and the establishment of Islamic
Research Institute (Article 207). [The Constitution of Pakistan 1962, Articles 199 - 207]
The office of the council was located in Lahore where it continued to work until 26
September 1977 when its offices were shifted to Islamabad. The Council shifted to its
own building on September, 1995.
Since 1962 the Council has held 156 meetings, revised laws of Pakistan, recommended
several legislations and submitted more than 72 Reports.

Plans of Islamic Ideology Council
A. Targets
• Playing active role, through provision of guidance, for the fulfillment of the pledge
given to the masses by the founders of the homeland to establish a system of
governance based on Islamic principles of social justice, equity, tolerance,
freedom and peaceful co-existence.
• Contributing towards insuring that each and every citizen of Pakistan regardless
of his race, colour, sex, language, religion, ethnic or social origin enjoys all basic
human rights conferred on him by Islam as well as the Constitution of Islamic
Republic of Pakistan
• Striving to achieve the goal of providing all-encompassing guidance to the
Muslim citizens of Pakistan, both in private and public spheres, to order their
lives according to the concept, teachings, and injunctions of Islam as contained
in the Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH).
• Ensuring that no such law is enacted in the country which may be repugnant to
the injunctions of Islam as enshrined in the Quran and the Sunnah.
• Securing that all existing laws as currently enforced in the country are brought in
conformity with the concept and teachings of Islam
• Encouraging extensive debate and open dialogue among representatives of
different, and at times, opposing schools of thought so as to reach at a common
understanding of modern day challenges faced by the Ummah, as well as to
formulate common responses to them
• Striving to achieve a degree of Unity (in diversity) viz formulating strategies to
counter the foreign cultural as well as media onslaught on Islam and Islamic
culture
• Fostering and promoting endeavors to introduce reform in fields and sectors such
as society, law, economy education, polity and media (both electronic and print)
• Nourishing efforts to remove misunderstanding about Islam and pave the way for
unraveling the true nature of Islamic faith and teachings which allocates no room,
whatsoever, to bigotry, extremism, dogmatism, sectarianism and fanaticism

Reports on Socio-Economic System
1. Apart from the basic work on Islamization of laws, the Council has been
publishing its recommendations comprising reviews of the Economic System,
Education System, Social System and Media Reforms in the Islamic perspective.
2. It could be claimed with some degree of pride that the Council’s work on the
Islamization of the Economic System has not only been of a pioneering nature in
Pakistan but was also internationally recognized. The Report on Elimination of
Riba from the Economy and Islamic Modes of Financing, of which a second
revised and enlarged edition appeared later, received universal acclaim in
particular.
