One of the essential sources of Islamic military doctrine is SK Malik's Quranic Concept of War. Malik, a Pakistani brigadier general, wrote Concept in 1979. Malik's work was deemed so significant that the Indian military use it to train their officers. Joseph C. Myer's 2006 review of Concept in the military journal Parameters is an important introduction to this important work.
As a part of my own research, I explored some of Malik's sources, listed in its bibliography. One of those sources is Hamidullah's 1953 work The Muslim Concept of State. I scanned several chapters of the book and made them available on my website. However, a dawah site in Canada is working to make the entire book available, chapter by chapter. Insha' allah.
I've linked both to my work and the "muslim-canada" site on the right.
