The invocation of Islam as its raison d’être places Pakistan as only
country in the Muslim World founded explicitly on religious doctrine
through popular democratic movement rather than by historical
accident or colonial invention. Islam is complete code of life and it
regulates each and every sphere of life. It is political and constitutional
structure of Islam which ensures the establishment of Islamic society in
its true spirit and manifestation. Prophet of Islam (Peace Be Upon
Him) who is role-model for every Muslim, established the first Islamic
state at Madina with written constitution, and ruled this state for last
ten years of life. In this perspective Islamization of the Constitution has
remained a dominant theme of public debate in Pakistan since its
inception and every regime faced the imperatives of Pakistan’s Islamic
mandate. Despite the fact that Objectives Resolution (1949) and the
Constitutions of 1956, 1962 and 1973 contained considerable Islamic
provisions, an Islamic society in its real spirit could not be established
in Pakistan. So the question and quest has always remained there
before the people and policy makers that what should be included more
in the constitution to realize the dream of Islamic Pakistan on the
model of first Islamic state of the Holy Prophet (PBUH)? Proposed 15th
Amendment Bill in the 1973 Constitution was an important episode of
this issue. This paper is an attempt to investigate and analyze 15th
Amendment bill and its probable impacts on executive, legislature and
judiciary in Pakistan. It has been analyzed in the light of political and
constitutional concepts of Islam and history of Islamization in Pakistan
