THE FOURTH MERIT: No constitution and no law can compete with the perfect political system of a country or a city constitution and the rules of justice, administration and international security, that is presented by Islam. Take the constitution and Law of America, Britain or any other country; you will find by going through them that they are based on the expediencies of a particular territory, and whichever law is enacted, it will be found to contain particularly the element of domination and preference of a particular nation and a particular territory. On the contrary, the law promulgated by Islam, enunciates the rights of mankind without distinction of race and colour. No branch of Islamic law is based on the expediencies and objects of any particular territory and particular race. The proof of this is that whenever any problem presents itself in the world, whether it be about the agreement and treaty with any nation or about war and whether it be about the internal administration or foreign policy' of the country, a commandment relating to it will certainly be found in Shariat. In Akbarabad (Agra), India, an Englishman demanded proof of the truth of Islam from a Muslim scholar. The scholar gave some proof about the truth of Islam and related the miracles of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) which proved him to be a true Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The Englishman admitted the truth of these proofs but said that there was one more proof about the truth of Islam. He said that their (English) constitutional and administrative law was framed with the deliberations and consultations of hundreds of wise men and politicians of the country and was completed in hundreds of years and inspite of all this, some law or the other needs amendment and alteration every four or five years. On the other hand, the the law of Shariat was setup in a period of 23 years by the tongue of a person not knowing reading and writing, without the consultation of anybody, and no amendment and alteration was needed in it until now, nor did it show any sign of weakness as to its stability and constitution. Such a complete and extensive constitution and code cannot be made without revelation from Allah. The scholar then inquired of that Englishman as to why he did not embrace Islam. He replied that if he did so, his service and salary would come to an end. On hearing this, the scholar kept quiet. It came to be known afterwards that the Englishman embraced Islam some time later.
