Summary

This book examines the dimensions of Islamicity, or what Islam demands, and its practice around the world to confirm that self-declared Muslim countries have not adopted Islamic teachings. If Muslim countries had followed the rules, they would have been among the best performing countries with effective institutions providing the foundation for a flourishing society with justice as its hallmark. To affect change, Muslims should study the Quran and the practices of the Prophet in their communities; Islamicity Indices along these lines can serve as a valuable instrument and basis to determine deficiencies, design appropriate policies, and monitor progress over time.
