Islamic States
An Islamic state is a political area, usually a country, that uses Sharia law as its basis for government, laws, and social norms. It is often considered a theocracy. The idea comes from the ancient Caliphate, which included areas ruled by religious leaders thought to be successors of Muhammad. Today, an Islamic state may include modern political traditions, such as having a parliament or a President. These countries have used Islamic law to define every area of government, including the Constitution. The major Islamic states are Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Mauritania, and Yemen.

For example, in Iran, every aspect of the government must adhere to Sharia Islam, the basis for all rules and regulations in this country. Religious courts are established to ensure that all of the regulations adhere to Sharia law. In fact, even the Supreme Leader, who has more political power than the President, is an Islamic law scholar.
