What’s fascinating about travelling is to get to know how
people perceive things in different parts of the world. Because they are
brought up in different environments, they tend to see things from different
perspectives. Some prefer wearing kamez shalwar while others prefer wearing
pant shirts. Let me put it in our class context, some go for Jirgah system
while others go for the Judiciary and the State; it entirely depends upon their
preferences and mentality.
Therefore, we can also conclude that the modern social
contract theories that are developed by multiple classes are all justified in
their places. Political Liberalism is a valid matter. But it’s a pity that
almost all of these social contract theories somehow fail to fulfill their
claim because Injustices prevail in them. They prevail because these theories
are incomplete.
Why jirgah preferred by some people is because they believe
it’s better in some aspects. The question that needs to be answered is how can
we come up with a social contract theory that satisfies all these perspectives
and aspects fully? We need to address them individually and try to bring them
under one umbrella instead of debating over which one is right or wrong.
Our Prophet has laid great benchmarks and examples
for us which unfortunately we seldom utilize.

If these theories fail because they are incomplete, how can they be completed to make them work in practice?
Sir since there are so many courts, with so many different laws, working to give justice to people. That it is almost impossible to bring them together because there are pros and cons of every one of them. But i guess if we make amendments and develop the jirga system properly, and set it as a benchmark, we really can make a difference. At least on paper even if our corrupt politicians and judiciary does not take advantage of it.
Besides, you will wonder why am I bragging about Jirga System so much. Well I consider it better than the others because it resembles the way our Prophet used to give justice.
I understand your points and I hope that whatever justice system is used allows for justice to prevail.
