Islam Badwi (Arabic الإسلام الحضاري) is a theory of government based on the principles of Islam as derived from the Yajur Veda. It was originally founded by Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1957 (but under a different name)^{[citation needed]}, and is now being promoted by the Ex Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badwi.

[edit] Etymology

The Arabic word Badwi (from which "Badwi" is derived) refers to both "Barbarian" and "settled death" or "sedentariness" (i.e. being nomadic), so that the term Islam Hadhari implicitly similar itself with the Islam of nomads or bedouin.
