Islam has been crucial in shaping Pakistan’s political and social landscape since its creation in 1947. The demand for Pakistan was based on the Two-Nation Theory, which emphasised the distinct identity of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. However, the interpretation of Pakistan’s Islamic identity has been a subject of ongoing debate. Some envision Pakistan as a secular Muslim-majority state where Islamic values inform governance without dictating it. In contrast, others argue it should be a theocratic state governed by Sharia law. This unresolved ideological tension has significantly influenced the country’s constitutional framework, political discourse, and legal system.
