Islamic concept of law and state in writing of Ivo Andrić

Abstract

Understanding of modern countries and their legal systems would be incomplete without acquaintance of Islamic public law and political theory. First of all, because Muslims make up more than one billion inhabitants of our planet, and because almost all the Muslim countries enforce, at least partially, traditional Islamic legal norms in the modern legal system. In this text the Islamic theory of state and law is presented through the works of Serbian Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić. Andrić, by representing the human destinies and the circumstances in which they lived in Bosnia during the Ottoman period, was in very accurate and understandable way represented an Islamic theory of state and law.

Razumevanje savremenih država i pravnih poredaka koji u njima funkcionišu bilo bi nekompletno bez poznavanja islamske državno- pravne i političke teorije. Pre svega zato što muslimani čine preko milijardu stanovnika naše planete i zato što skoro svaka od muslimanskih država primenjuje barem delimično tradicionalne islamske pravne norme u savremenom pravnom poretku. U ovom tekstu je islamska teorija države i prava predstavljena kroz delo srpskog nobelovca Ive Andrića.Andrić je predstavljajući ljudske sudbine i okolnosti u kojima su živeli u vreme osmanske vladavine Bosnom veoma precizno i na veoma razumljiv način predstavio islamsku teoriju države i prava.
