The scientific and industrial revolution that came to Europe in the seventeenth century
AD ended the triangle of power of monarchy, feudalism and papacy and modernized
the society on the basis of democracy, industry, knowledge and rationalism. Western
philosophers, especially John Locke, Rousseau, Thomas, Freud, Adam Smith and Karl
Marx played a very important role in the reconstruction of Europe. These philosophers
envisioned the reconstruction of European society based on secular philosophy. While
in the subcontinent in the same era, Imām Shāh Wali Ullāh presented the philosophy of
forming a society on religious basis in the context of the changing world conditions and
changes the demands of the new era. In the political theory of social formation, he
envisioned a government based on public support and protection. In economics, he
envisioned the protection of the rights of the working class, the determination of
working hours and minimum taxes for public welfare. He envisioned sociology,
introduced the theory of evolution in which he shed light on the history of evolutionary
stages of human society. He clarified the features of the establishment of international
government from the early life of man. He not only mentioned the problems of the past
from the study of history but also presented the solution of the problems faced by the
human community in the present. He called the combination of material development
and relationship with Allāh necessary for the formation of a righteous society.
