For Islam, I would give only one example.In the reign of the second caliph that was the greatest in social, political and economical structures and laid the foundations of many things we see today, such as, the postal system, police in cities, cantonments, independent judiciary, old age pensions, efficient taxing.

Having Rome and Persia as warring neighbours, the empire had to fight to survive. After a series of victories over the Byzantines, the head of Jerusalem that he would give up to the Arab Empire but the caliph would have to come personally to receive the keys. The caliph came with his slave and a camel, it was the slave's turn to ride the camel when they entered the city and the people could not distinguish between a king and a slave. This was new for the people who were quite impressed by the religion's simplicity and humility it commanded even for a king.

This was new for the people who were quite impressed by the religion's simplicity and humility it commanded even for a king.The empire was solid from the inside, as the election of the head was done by the vote of several scholars and learned men who everyone took to be honest and learned in matters relating to their job, and politics. This was only sensible democracy. Today, all people can vote, which means that even those that do not deserve a say in such important matters, a scholar's vote counts more than a drunk voter's who doesn't know who he has voted for.

What was mentioned, is a sensible course.
