Faith as a Tool of Power

This research explores the enduring perception that Pakistan’s religious and politico-religious parties have often served as instruments of state intelligence agencies to manipulate the political landscape. It examines the historical evolution of this relationship, the selective use of Islamization as a political tool, and its impact on faith, governance, and society. Combining historical analysis with moral reflection, the study calls for reclaiming religion from power politics and restoring authenticity to Pakistan’s ideological foundations.
