The General Secretariat of the European Assembly requested that I undergo a study on Nation and Citizenship, and the perspective of Shari’ah on the issue, in the framework of Islamic doctrine and purposes. The aim was to use the study as an introduction to an intellectual jurisprudential forum, to be held by the General Secretariat on the subject of citizenship and integration, with regards to the Muslim minorities of Europe and other continents. This is taking into consideration the confusion that has arisen around this sensitive issue, and the many enquiries posed, and the many answers given which differ according to understanding of significance and directions of diligence.
