There are numerous political organisations working peacefully across the Muslim world to better the life of ordinary citizens according to a defined set of Islamic principles, methods, styles and scholarly viewpoints. Some of these Muslim organisations have the goal of establishing an 'Islamic' society based on Quranic principles whereas others, although Muslim-led, do not have the same clarity. The debate between the various viewpoints continues. We have compiled a list of some political parties existing across the muslim world, who have similar generic goals, and who could, if the willpower existed, through cooperation and partnership achieve the long-term goal of unifying the muslim ummah.
