Abstract
There are more than fifty Islamic countries in the world. But in these countries, non-Muslims, too, live as minority. Most of the Islamic countries have given the right of representation in their respective legislative councils (Majlis-e- Shura ), to their non-Muslim minorities. They allocated special seats for them in their respective parliament according to the population of their minorities. Such rules are also practicing in Pakistan. Pakistan has also reserved for them 10 seats in national assembly, 4 Seats in senate, and 9, 3, 8 and 3 seats in Sindh, Baluchistan , Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies respectively. These laws are prevalent all over the world.
Now, the main question of this study is that , is it lawful for any Islamic country to reserve seats in its legislative council for minorities or not? We will try our best to search the answer of this question, in the light of the principle of the Quran and Sunnah , in this research paper.
