Abstract

Over the past decade, global constitutionalism has progressively sought to constrain the power of digital platforms. Nevertheless, existing frameworks largely rely on Western social contract traditions, often overlooking the structural inequities present in digitally mediated governance. This article argues that the prophetic pledge of allegiance (bai’ah) is fundamental covenantal form of the social contract, offering an alternative paradigm of political legitimacy distinct from liberal individualism. It utilises a qualitative, library-based methodology that integrates socio-historical reconstruction of early Islamic primary sources with normative-conceptual and comparative constitutional analysis. The article demonstrates that bai’ah produces four fundamental constitutional principles: mutual consent, normative constraints on authority, safeguarding of the public interest, and collective accountability. These findings indicate that legitimacy in the prophetic model is based not on superficial procedural adherence but on a morally binding and mutually accountable political relationship. This study reconstructs bai’ah as a foundation for constitutional ethics, thereby enriching current discussions on global and digital constitutionalism by providing a more diverse normative framework for reconsidering consent, accountability, and justice in platform governance. The covenantal logic of bai’ah offers a valuable framework for assessing and normatively limiting private digital power, especially when current governance structures inadequately safeguard vulnerable communities.

Abstract

Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan was an Indian Muslim intellectual known for his modernist views and often labeled a secularist due to his inclination toward rationalism and naturalism. In addition to being a political activist who played a role in the creation of Pakistan, he was also a prominent thinker and reformer in Islamic education in India. One of his key ideas was to integrate Western modern scientific concepts with Islamic studies. This integrated educational system became one of the most influential models in the Muslim world and is still widely adopted by contemporary Islamic educational institutions, each with its own variations. The model aims not only to produce Muslim intellectuals who master modern sciences but also to cultivate individuals with strong Islamic spirituality. This study aims to analyze Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s educational thought and its influence on the development of Islamic education in India. It employs a qualitative approach using a library research method and content analysis technique. The data were obtained from Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s works and relevant secondary literature, then analyzed to identify the main themes in his thought and their impact on the Islamic education system. The findings indicate that Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s educational ideas contributed significantly to the modernization of Islamic education through the integration of religious and modern sciences. However, this system has also faced criticism for insufficiently filtering the values of secularism, positivism, and materialism from the Western paradigm, potentially producing Muslim intellectuals who are scientifically advanced but spiritually fragile.
