A CALL TO GUIDANCE

4 FABRICATED HADITHS

2011-11-15T15:04:00.000-08:00

NO.1 : Love the Arabs for three reasons ; because I Muhammad (Allah’s apostle ) am an Arab, the holy Quran was revealed in Arabic and the language of Jannah will be Arabic.

Related by Al Haakim in his book Al Mustadrak ( vol. 4, page 87 ).The great Hadith scholar Abu Haatim in his book Jarh Wa Ta’deel, ‘The Invalidation and Acceptance of Transmitters of Hadith ( vol 3, page 359 ), said this Hadith is false.

In islam we love people if they are mindful of their duties to Allah.We do not show love to people because of their race,language,tribe,nationality or wealth.

The Arab governments in the world today happen to be the greatest enemies if Islam and Muslims, thus we are not allowed to love these despotic leaders simply because they are Arabs, this is so because we are obliged to practice Al-Wala Wal Baraa ( to love and hate solely for Allah. In this regard Allah said,

“You will never find any people who believe in Allah and the last day making friends with those who are enemies of Allah and his messenger. Even though they may be their fathers, or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. For such He {Allah} has written in their hearts Iman .” { SURA MUJAADILAH : 22 }

It is worthy to mentioning that when the Holy Prophet Muhammad {SM} fought His first battle {the battle of Badr}. He didn’t fight against Persians or Romans but instead He fought against His own people the Arabs of Quraish. In this battle Umar {RA} killed His own uncle and Abu Ubaida Ibn Al Jarrah {RA} killed His own father. As for the language of Jannah, Allah knows best what it shall be, however Allah shall say ‘Assalaamu alaikum’ to the believers after admitting them into His paradise, and this is the explanation to Allah’s words :

“ It will be said to them “Salaamun” {peace be on you} a word from the Lord Allah,most merciful ”

{ Sura Yaa-seen : 58 }

NO.2 : TO LOVE YOUR COUNTRY IS A PART OF IMAN

Classified fabricated by aghaani.

This fabricated khabar promotes nationalism. At preent nationalism is a cancer in the body of the ummah, which stunts the spiritual and economical growth of the ummah. This fabricated khabar causes Muslims to call themselves British Muslim, Pakistani Muslim, Indian Muslim, Arab Muslim etc. So they see themselves as Indian first and Muslim last.

These expressions enhance prejudices and deviations among the believers. The only time a country is worth loving is when Shari’ah being implemented in that country to its fullest. Hence we love and hate for the Allah’s sake.

NO.3: The Holy Prophet Muhammad {SM} was once returning from a battle with His companions and He turned to them and said, “ We have returned from the lesser Jihad to the greater Jihad, Jihad Akbar {to fight against your evil desires} is the greatest. “

Related by Bayhaqi and classified fabricated by Ibn Hajar who said this khabar is not a saying of a man by the name of Ibrahim Ibn Abee Ablah.

This hadith is frequently quoted by cowards andhypocrites who don’t want to die for Allah. In this regards :

“ Fighting is prescribed for you and you hate it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know “

{ Sura Al Baqarah : 216 }

In regards to Jihad and its importance to Holy Prophet Muhammad {SM} said :

“ He who died and didn’t do Jihad and didn’t makehisintentionto do Jihad ; died on a branch of hypocrisy. “ { Sahih Muslim }

The great Scholar of Islam Ibn-ul-Qayyim said this fabricated Hadith is obnoxious.

NO.4 : NECESSITY KNOWS NO LAW

Classified fabricated by Adh-Dhahabee

The scholars of Islam say this saying is not a hadith but instead it’s a saying of the Islamic jurist. Hence the meaning is authentic and it is permissible for the Muslims to act upon it. For example, Allah has given us the permission to eat pork if we are starving and there is nothing else by which we can eat to save ourselves. Thus Allah said :

“ Allah has forbidden you only the Maytata { animals that die by themselves } and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah or has been slaughtered for idols etc, or which Allah’s name hasn’t been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is forced by necessity without disobedience nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin for him. Truly Allah is off forgiving Most Merciful “ { Sura Baqara : 173 }

Likewise we are allowed to renounce Islam when persecuted, the way Ammar Ibn Yaasir {RA} renounced Islam with his tongue when the arch enemy of Islam Abu Jahl was persecuting him for taking his shahadah.

Even though apostasy is the worst crime under the heavens we are allowed to apostate with our tongues to save our lives as long as our hearts are firm with Iman. In this regards Allah said,

“ Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced to do so while his heart is centred with Iman “ { Sura An Nahl : 106 }

The great commentator of the Holy Quran ibn Abbas said this ayah was revealed when Ammar Ibn Yaasir {RA} the apostate with his tongue due to the severe persecution Quraish unleashed against him for the sake of his Deen,Al-Islam.

Likewise even though alcohol is haram a person who is choking to death and didn’t find any liquid to drink except alcohol to save his life is allowed to so do so. Thus the khabar is a fiqh ruling used by the Islamic jurist past and present therefore its meaning is authentic that is necessity knows no law.

BABAR AHMAD E-PETITION REFUSAL IS NO SURPRISE

2011-11-14T13:32:00.000-08:00

The refusal of the British parliament to discuss the case of Babar Ahmad should come as no surprise for the 140,000 signatories of the e-petition submitted to the UK government. After all it is the same government which incarcerated and abused him in the first place and who have held Sheikh Abu Qatada without charge on and off for 7 years and Sheikh Khalid Al-Fawwaz without charge for 13 years (since Augest 1998) and who engage in torture through rendition and indeed who slaughter innocent Muslim men, women and children with impunity to establish their own economic, military and strategic interests in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Allah (SWT) says clearly in the Qur’an that the Jews and Christains are open enemies to us and that they will not rest until they take us away from the Deen (Islam) and that what they utter from their mouths is hatred but what they conceal in their hearts is far worse. Moreover the British regime are the same regime who have issued the most draconian laws against Muslims such as stop and search, glorification of terrorism, internment for 29 days and who were instrumental in destroying the Islamic State in 1924 and who do all they can to stand in the way of its re-emergence in the Muslim world etc… It is extremely naive to think that they would do anything other than blankly refuse any e-petition submitted to them by Muslims for their own religious causes.

For those who care about Babar Ahmad, we pray that Allah (SWT) accepts your efforts to release him, even though to appeal to the (taghout) regime of the UK for them to legislate is in istelf completely prohibited in Islam in the first place. Rather the Sunnah (Tradition) of the Messenger Muhammad (saw) to release the Aseer (Muslims Hostages) is either (i) to ransom them or (ii) to exchange them or indeed (iii) to break them free! Even though Brother Babar is being tested inside prison is it vital that those who want to help him also pass this test from Allah (SWT) by abiding by his commands in seeking to secure his release.

The banning of Muslims Against Crusades last week and the case of Babar Ahmad are linked in the sense that freedom and democracy have been shown to be false ideas which are tantamount to inconsistency, contradiction, censorship and the dictatorship of the few over the many, according to their own whims and desires. The banning of non-violent ideological groups with whom you disagree and the imprisonment of innocent Muslims on the behest of others runs rough-shod over such foolish ideas.

The clear reality is that, unlike man made law, the superiority of the Shari’ah (Islamic divine law) is that it is not subject to such change, contradiction and compromise or implemented arbitrarily whenever one feels like it. Rather divine law is implemented in its entirety and should even one law be unislamic it will mean a case for the removal of the Khaleefah (i.e. head of the Islamic State).

The case of Babar Ahmad, if nothing else, should serve as a wake up call that the interests of Muslims lie in seeking the pleasure of Allah (SWT) by doing what he asks us to do and not by just following our own desires. The ultimate interest for us all is to attain entry into paradise and not seeking the release of Babar Ahmad. This may mean that brother Babar must spend some more time in prison in seclusion with his Lord until Allah (SWT) finds us a way out for him but at least in the meantime we do send out a message to our youth and community that nothing can be gained from trying to seek justice from the British Governement, whose ultimate goal is to extinguish the light of Allah (SWT).

Fundamentals of the Shahadah ‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah Muhammadar Rasool Allah’

2011-04-05T16:13:00.001-07:00

In the Arabic language ‘La ilaha illallah’ is made up of two sets of words, the first one being ‘La ilaha’ and the second one ‘illallah’. The first part of the Shahadah requires negation [nafee] and the second part requires affirmation [ithbaat] - for you must reject something before accepting anything else. So what are the obligations of ‘La ilaha illallah’ - what do we have to reject in order to accept Allah(swt) as our One and Only Lord?

There are four main things, which we must reject for ‘La ilaha illallah’ to be accepted from us. These consist of the following:

1) Aaliha

Aaliha is the plural form of the word ilah and ilah is the name given to any object of worship: the worship of an idol such as Hubal (worshipped by the people of Quraish at the time of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)), the worship of a grave as we see today in the Asian sub-continent and other parts of the world, a Saint and finally ones internal desires can also be described as an ilah. For Allah(swt) to be worshiped Alone, all other ilah’s such as idols, graves, saints and other similar ilah’s- all must be rejected. Regarding this Allah(swt) said in the Quran:

“…Can you verily, bear witness that besides Allah there are other Aaliha? Say: “I bear no (such) witness!” Say: “But in truth He (Allah) is the only one ilah. And truly, I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him.” (al Ana’m 6:19)

And

“… And set not up with Allah any other ilah lest you should be thrown into Hell, blameworthy and rejected (from Allah’s Mercy)”. (al-Israa 17:22)

And:

”And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him”. (al Israa 17:23)

Also:

“And your ilah is one ilah (Allah), la ilaha illa Huwa (there is no ilah except for Him), the most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” (al Baqarah 2:163)

Also:

“Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship.” Surah 4 (an Nisaa’ 4:36)

2) Arbab

Arbab comes from Ruboobiyyah and is the plural of Rab which means Lord. Arbab and Aaliha are both inter-related, therefore if there is Arbab then there is Aaliha. For example, if anyone says he is Al-Qaadi (The judge), Al-Hakam (The legislater), Al-Wakeel (The disposer of affairs) or claims to give life and death then he can be classified as an Arbab because he has taken an attribute which is specific for Allah(swt) Alone. Allah(swt) says in the Qur'an;

“They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their Arbab (lords) besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah).” (at Tawbah 9:31)

Other examples include: if you ask a peer or saint to make dua for you to have a child or get better from an illness expecting his dua to give you shifa (cure you) without expecting the shifa to come from Allah(swt) then you have taken another Rab alongside Allah(swt). Only Allah(swt) should be asked and your dua (prayer) should only be directed to Allah(swt).

Also, if you go to a court in any country (including man-made courts in so called Muslim countries (judging with British or French Laws), magistrates, county or any such courts) and they judge you in your dispute using Kuffar (man-made) laws rather than what Allah(swt) has revealed (Shari’ah- Islamic Law) then you would not be judged and the judging will not be according to what Allah(swt) has revealed so this will be like taking others besides Allah as your Rab (this is Shirk). All kinds of Arbab should be rejected for Allah to be worshipped Alone.

3) Andad

Andad in Arabic means ‘equal to’ and in shari’ah, specifically ‘something made equal to Allah(swt)’. This could be in any form such as ones wealth, family, community, leadership, etc. For example if Allah(swt) has ordered us to do something (i.e. in the Qur'an or the Sunnah) but instead of obeying His order you obey your father’s, mother’s, or leader’s order which contradicts Islam, then you have made an Andad with Allah(swt) because you have rejected Allah(swt)’s command- to follow something or someone else.

To love something is natural but if you love this thing more or equal to your love for Allah(swt) then it becomes a partner which you worship alongside Allah(swt). For He has told us in the Qur'an:

“Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight … are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and Jihad in His cause then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).” (at Tawbah 9:24)

Allah(swt) also says:

“And of mankind are some who take others beside Allah as Andaadan (rivals). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more. If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is severe in punishment.” (al Baqarah 2:165)

Love for all things must come after our love for Allah(swt) and His Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). All kinds of Andad have to be rejected for Allah(swt) to be worshipped Alone.

4) Taghut:

The word ‘Taghut’ has been derived from the words ‘Tagha’ or ‘Tugyan’. Its literal meaning is ‘when something exceeds or goes over its limit’. In general the word Taghut covers a wide range of meanings. From the Shari’ah point of view Taghut is anything which is worshipped other than Allah(swt), i.e. false deities. This may include Satan, devils, idols, stones, sun, stars, angels, or even human beings. Likewise saints, graves, rulers and leaders, other ruling sytems besides Islam may also be falsely worshipped and made into Taghut. (Meanings of the word ‘Taghut’ taken from “Tafsir ibn Katheer” and the “Noble Qur'an” by Mohammad Muhsin Khan)

It is very important to understand what Taghut is in order to reject it, for if one does not know its meaning then how would you keep yourself away from it. Once you understand the meaning, it then becomes necessary to know how to reject the Taghut. Allah(swt) says in the Qur'an regarding Taghut;

“There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves (does Kufr) in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer All-Knower.” (al Baqarah 2:256)

And:

“Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. But for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are Taghut, they bring them out from the light into darknesses. Those are the dwellers of the fire, they will abide therein forever.” (al-Baqarah 2:257)

And:

“And verily, we have sent among every Ummah (nation) a Messenger (proclaiming) “Worship Allah (Alone) and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut.” (an Nahl 16:36)

And:

“Have you seen those who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut while they have been ordered to reject them. But shaytan (satan) wishes to lead them far astray.” (an Nisaa’ 4:60)

And:

“Those who avoid At-Taghut by not worshipping them and turn to Allah (in repentance), for them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My slaves.” (az Zumar 39:17)

Also:

“Those who believe, fight in the path of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the path of Taghut.” (an Nisaa’ 4:76)

And:

“Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the scripture? They believe in Al-Jibt and At-Taghut and say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the way than the believers (Muslims).” (an Nisaa’ 4:51)

Also:

“Say (O Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) to the people of the scripture): “Shall I inform you of some thing worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who worshipped Taghut; such are worse in rank (on the day of Resurrection in the Hell-fire).” (al Maai’dah 5:60)

In the above Ayat, Allah(swt) has described to us the straight path which would lead one to paradise. This straight path is to reject (in totality) the Taghut before ‘La ilaha illallah’ can be accepted. In other words before you can say ‘I believe in Allah’ (illallah) you must reject and disbelieve in the Taghut (La illaha).

If a person says ‘La ilaha illallah’ and he has not yet rejected the Taghut, then he is going against the above mentioned Ayah of Allah(swt) in which He said: “Whoever rejects Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break”. In this Ayah Allah(swt) has used the Arabic word ‘Astamsaka’ instead of ‘Masaka’. ‘Masaka’ in Arabic means to hold something with one hand or in one hand but in this Ayah ‘Astamsaka’ is symbolically used, and means ‘to hold something with both hands’ or ‘to get a tight grip of something with both hands’. To make it simpler, if we say that you are holding something in your right hand then it must mean that your left hand is empty, so you can hold another object in your left hand. In the same way if we say that some one is holding ‘La ilaha illallah’ in one hand and Taghut in the other hand then his belief (iman) is not correct and he is outside the fold of Islam. This is why Allah(swt) used the word ‘Astamsaka’ in the above Ayah to make it clear to us that we have to hold ‘La ilaha illallah’ with both our hands and not in just one hand.

Thus, we must do what Allah(swt) has told us- “Reject the Taghut and hold ‘La ilaha illallah’ with both hands”. The plural of Taghut is ‘Tawagheet’. There are many different types of Tawagheet but the main among them are the following five:

1. Satan the accursed who calls people to worship other than Allah(swt). The proof is Allah(swt)’s statement in the Qur'an:

“Did I not ordain for you, O children of Adam, that you should not worship shaytan(satan). Verily he is a plain enemy to you.” (Ya-Seen 36:60)

2. The tyrant who changes the laws of Allah(swt) [Shari’ah]. The evidence is the statement of Allah(swt):

“You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named- you and your fathers- for which Allah has sent down no authority. The Hukm (legislation, judgement, command) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him; that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.” (Yoosuf 12:40)

And:

“Indeed your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and then rose over (Istawa) the Throne. He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Amr (command). Surely, His is the creation and Amr (commandment). Blessed is Allah, the Lord of Alamin.” (al A’raaf 7:54)

3. A person who rules by laws other than what Allah(swt) has revealed. Allah(swt) says:

“… And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun (disbelievers).” (al Maai’dah 5:54)

Also:

“Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges) while they have been ordered to reject them. But shaytan (satan) wishes to lead them far astray.” (an Nisaa’ 4:60)

4. Whoever claims to share Allah(swt)’s knowledge of Ghaib (unseen, future, etc) or takes any name, attribute or action belonging to Allah(swt) Alone. Evidence for this is the saying of Allah(swt):

“(He Alone) is the All-Knower of the Ghaib (the unseen) and He reveals to none His Ghaib except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen. Then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him.” (al-Jinn 72:26-27)

Also:

“And with Him are the keys of the Ghaib; none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but he knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry but is written in a clear record.” (al-Ana’m 6:59)

5. A person who is worshipped with his consent, in lieu of Allah(swt). The proof is the saying of Allah(swt) in the Qur'an:

“And if any of them should say: ‘Verily I am an ilah (a god) besides Him (Allah),’ such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We recompense the Zalimun (wrong-doers and Polytheists).” (al Anbiyaa’ 21:29)

In conclusion to the above it is essential to understand that a person cannot be a Muslim or a true believer unless he makes Kufr (rejects, denies and condemns) the Taghut. The evidence for this is the saying of the Most High, Allah(swt):

Once a person rejects the Taghut, it is only then that he will enter inside the fold of Islam and become a Muslim.

Ten facts about Sharia law (Islamic law)

2010-11-22T07:19:00.000-08:00

The aim of the Shari'ah is to preserve society in a form which is healthy and fruitful for the inhabitants on earth. Shari'ah helps mankind live the way the creator has decreed us to live, and to ease our worship to Allah (SWT).

In (Western) society, there is a race to maintain a basic lifestyle, to provide food, shelter and clothing for you or your family, only to meet the basic necessities. You will see this same behaviour anywhere where the Shari ah is not implemented. To provide even the most basic commodities such as electricity, gas and water it is a hassle and something western democracy has failed to give or provide us even till today, this is why we find the population resorting to crime, effectively leading to mass corruption and depression.

Is it in the governments interest to serve God (Allah) or the political elite? With broken families, high rape, paedophilia, massive percentages of alcohol related diseases and deaths, homelessness, obesity. These statistics reflect the success of a government which rules by man made law and it paints a picture that tells us the government only serve the interests of the political elite, including big corporations, banks and man's desires.

Let us look to what the Shari'ah offers us, and lets see what Allah (SWT) has legislated for mankind. Ultimately, if any book is divine, it will detail all affairs for man and tell us how to deal with today's problems.

1. Non-Muslims can live inside the Islamic State.

One of the most misunderstood matters is the ruling on non-muslims inside an Islamic state. It is believed that the state would only allow a pure Muslims population, however this is incorrect and commonly used by non-muslims to attack the Shari'ah. Non-Muslims can choose to live in the state if they pay the 'Jiziyaa' (the closes translation for this word is 'tax'). Once they do so, they are known as the dhimmi, and their life and honour immediately has sanctity and are protected by the state.

The Khaleefah (Caliph) will go to great lengths to protect the dhimmi. An example, if they (the dhimmi) are being harassed by another tribe, the Islamic state will judge the situation and fight (even physically with the Muslim armies) to defend them.

2. The Non-Muslim citizen (Dhimmi) - including Muslims - get rights to free food, clothing and shelter provided by the state by default.

The benefits offered to the dhimmi are clear. By default they are entitled to free housing, food, gas and clothing without any ambiguity. Some scholars go further and say electricity are also deemed as necessities in today's day and age. If these opinion's are adopted by the Khaleefah's (Caliphs) decision council, these too will be provided free to the dhimmi.

The Khaleefah will appoint a director for this department which will ensure providing the necessary energy to the whole country ranging from coal, oil, electricity etc.

“The son of Adam has no better right than that he would have a house wherein he may live and a piece of cloth whereby he may hide his nakedness and a piece of bread and some water.” [Tirmidhi]

3. Fee's such as council tax, road tax etc. will be abolished.

The Islamic state will abolish all fiscal fees and rates, water and sewage rates, school fees, import and export licences and fees, council rates, ground rent, road tax and fiscal stamps. According to shari‘ah, these services are the duty of the state; the state in Islam is a guardian and not a collection of fees and rates.

One of its main functions is to secure the essential needs of all its subjects and to enable each individual to acquire his luxuries according to his ability.

4. The 'Jiziyaa' (Non-muslim tax) is lower than the 'Zakat' (Muslim tax).

The Jizyaa, a tax for non-muslim citizens of the state, is lower than the Muslim tax - Zakat (Obligatory upon all muslims). Muslims, must also pay the Zakat, both the Jiziyaa and Zakat go to the Islamic treasury and will be utilized on areas where the Islamic authority sees fit.

5. Earth's resources cannot be privatised and sold at extortionate prices.

Natural resources - like oil, coal and gas - will not be sold at ridiculous prices to the population. Today we see the true face of dollar guzzling greedy cooperates as they continue to sell energy at unaffordable prices. The common people are powerless as energy prices rise month on month, while energy companies profits increase so do their pockets.

Today's government has done little to help its people, and with all this it continues to cut public expenditure, family support benefits (child benefits, housing benefits etc.) and continues to squeeze public spending even more. No matter who, labour, conservative or liberal democrats. You will never find justice in man made law since these same problems are riddled in every country where Shari'ah is absent.

6. Poverty will be eradicated.

When Islam was implemented on state level in parts of the African continent (Ethiopia and Sudan), it slowly extinguished poverty. People had the basics of food, clothing and shelter provided to them by the Islamic state, and they had the opportunity to prosper as human beings.

Since the removal of Islam from those lands we witness corruption, genocide and the alleviation of poverty once again. Charity is embedded within Islam and cannot be removed, unlike in the west it is something every Muslim must practice by necessity. We see a lot of people with soft hearts, kindness and who recognise the problem - without to undermine their concern - the help and assistance they provide are always temporary and never permanent. The corruption returns and sometimes in other forms such as prostitution, violence and drugs.

To solve these problems, you will need to remove the root issue / problem which has plagued poor areas for decades, the cure will only come with the removal of all man made laws and systems such as democracy, then the implementation of the Shari'ah.

“If poverty was a man, I would kill him.” [Narrated by Umar Ibn Al-Khataab.]

7. Society ills (such as gambling, prostitution, drugs and paedophilia etc) will be extinguished.

Islam prohibits diseases pushed under the declaration of ‘freedom’ such as pornography, paedophilia, bestiality, gambling, drugs and alcohol which seek to exploit and enslave people to their instincts and desires resulting in rising crime rates and the anarchy which is prevalent today in western society. The way of life in Islam ensures the fulfilment of everyone’s right to basic food which will prevent people from resorting to illicit acts. Unlike capitalism, Islam prohibits gambling and interest which exploit the poor to the advantage of the rich.

As a result of freedom and democracy we have seen the most absurd laws. To mention one or two, in the state of Missouri bestiality (the marriage between humans and animals) is allowed and in America paedophiles have formed an organization called NAMBLA (North American Men And Boys Lovers Association) allowing paedophiles to perform horrendous acts with children. Similarly, under 'freedom' a group of people have begun sacrifices and mutilation for the sake of Satan, this even involves the kidnapping of innocent life to fulfil these satanic rituals.

8. Education is free to ALL citizens

The State would ensure the provision of free education to every male and female at both primary and secondary levels, the state would also endeavour to provide free education to everyone at university level. This is so because providing every single citizen of the state with the education he or she needs in all walks of life is an essential necessity, therefore it is the Stateis duty to provide it (especially now that the primary and secondary education have become basic necessities rather than luxuries). It is therefore an obligation upon the state to ensure that every individual is educated to such levels. As for the higher studies, some of these are also a necessity, such as medicine and study of the mining industry for instance, and the state should provide such education; whereas what is considered to be non essential studies such as literature, the state should provide such studies if funds were available.

But today education in Britain are merely business avenues for the rich and powerful, recent events have proven this. With the increase of student tuition fees and removal of tuition caps it is made it more apparent the degree will cost a lot more than it has previously. The quality of the degree has also become questionable, it all boils down and points back to the fundamental failure of the system of (man made) democracy.

The Khilafah state would ensure provision of free education to every male and female (Muslim and non-Muslim) at both primary and secondary levels and would endeavour to provide free education to everyone at university level. Education at higher levels would be encouraged and the state would help in funding those who wish to do so as much as possible.

9. The punishment system (Judicial system) in Islam is superior than any man made system.

The injustice is all too apparent in countries where man made law is dominant. We have seen many cases in the past, where a paedophile or rapist receives a lower sentence than someone who has convicted a crime like robbery etc. A favourite theme for the Orientalists is to attack Islam's punishment system, but when we study in context the punishments, you will immediately see the justice of Islam, and in comparison to man made law it is far superior.

A U.S. Justice Department report released on November 30 2006 showed that a record 7 million people -- or one in every 32 American adults -- were behind bars, on probation or on parole at the end of last year. Of the total, 2.2 million were in prison or jail.

Is democracy really the way forward? We have seen hundreds ready to defend democracy but is it really worth defending? The statistics speak for themselves! If democracy was indeed a 'superior' way of life why so many problems?

Result of Democracy (US Incarceration statistics)

Furthermore, with 3,256 on death row (In the USA alone) democracy has show it does practice and implement the death penalty.

The Islamic Judicial system is far better to any system man has ever devised in history. The strictness concerning evidence has meant that only around 200 people ever had their hands cut in 1300 years of Islamic Rule and the incidences of theft were very low. The Islamic system allows a person aggrieved of a crime the right to forgive the accused or to demand compensation for certain crimes.

A person has the right to take the ruler to court and even remove him if he transgresses against the Shari’ah. There are four categories of punishment in Islam which protect the rights of Allah, of the Individual, of the Community and of the State. A persons fate is not left to the whims and prejudices of 12 fallible people but in the hands of a qualified judge. In addition Islamic punishments are executed without delay or hesitation and torture is prohibited and haraam for any Muslim to practice.

10. Divine human rights VS Man-made human rights.

If we compare the so-called ‘human rights’ which are enshrined within the Declaration of Human Rights with the Divine Rights given to all human beings by our creator Allah (SWT) through his final message to humanity i.e. Al-Islam, we will find that there are significant differences between the two. These are apart from the fact that those given by God are not subject to change due to whim or desire and that they formed the basis of a civilization which eradicated common problems nowadays such as racism and poverty for over 1300 years under the authority of the Islamic State. This State was ironically destroyed at the hands of the western imperialistic powers such as France and Britain on the 3rd of March 1924.

Islam protects the belief, life, honour, mind and wealth of all citizens as well as ensuring that each individuals needs in terms of food, clothing and shelter are provided for not as a matter of charity but as a matter of divine obligation upon the Islamic State. Countries such as Ethiopia and Sudan flourished in the time of their governance under the divine law enacted by the Islamic State to the extent that they were self sufficient in resources such as food and were even able to provide relief to other nations.

In conclusion...

There is nothing which comes close to the Shari'ah and Islam, however the Shari'ah needs to be implemented in its totality to work and receive the blessings (Baraqa) from Allah. Countries such as Saudia Arabia or Iran may represent and come across as 'Islamic' nations but they are far from Islam and the Shari'ah!

“Allah ordered you to return the huquq to the people and if you rule and judge between people, you rule by Shari’ah (i.e. Al Adl - justice).” [EMQ 4: 58]

QUESTION: Is there a country on earth which rules by the Shari'ah?

No. There is no country on earth which implements the Shari'ah, rather they implement man made systems which do not derive from Islam. The systems they rule by are oppressive and unjust, and often permit what Allah (SWT) has made haraam such as Interest, Alcohol and Prostitution.

“Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are kafirun..” [EMQ 5:44]

Refer to the Apostasy of the rulers, this article focuses on countries that masquerade under Islam, instead they implement systems such as democracy, other types of man made laws and ideas which are not divine and not from the Qur'an. We can see the effects of legislative law by man in the UK and US. I don't believe I need to elaborate on problems the west faces, as these problems are apparent and in plain sight. and I have named a few above.

QUESTION: What will happen to banks and the current banking system?

The current banking system will be destroyed. When Islam comes into power it will erradicate any system which has any potential to exploit humans. This is the justice of the Shari'ah, we see today across the world, fellow beings are being exploited for their wealth, honour and dignity through prostitution, alcohol and gambling (These are only a select few!). Islam came to establish worship to the only creator Allah (SWT) and stop man from following and worshipping his/hers desires.

The role of banks in Islam will be to collect the nation’s deposits and to also act as a central pool whereby money can be collected and invested in the economy.

- What happens to my old bank notes and currency?

Old bank notes and coins will not be devalued, but will be exchanged with the new notes which replace gold and silver reserves, so that the Khilafah state currency does not get minted and used for other purposes because it belongs to the Ummah and the State.

Please look out for more articles on SALAFIMEDIA which explain the need of Shari'ah and its benefits.

Living among the disbelievers

A Muslim is obliged to live by Islam and implement the Sharee'ah wherever he is. He must also swear allegiance to none but Allah (SWT), His Messenger (SAW) and to the Ameer ul-Mu'mineen (leader of the Muslims). If there is no leader (or khaleefah) to whom one should swear allegiance (like in today's reality), it becomes mandatory to work collectively with other Muslims in order to eradicate shirk (disbelief, false deities, non-Islamic law, etc.) and implement the Sharee'ah.

Moreover, it is not permissible for a Muslim to live between the disbelievers unless he clearly distinguishes himself from them; maintains his Deen; rejects their customs, ideology and way of life; calls them to Islam; and fulfils all his other duties and ritual obligations. Jareer bin 'Abdillah (RA) reported that the Messenger Muhammad (SAW) said:

أنابريءٌمنكلِّمسلمٍيقيمبينأظهرالمشركين

“I am free from every Muslim that resides between the Mushrikeen (disbelievers).” (Sunan Abee Daawud, Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Fath al-Baari and others)

This ‘disassociation’ of the Prophet (SAW) is from Muslims who live between the Kuffaar (i.e. in daar ul-harb) and do not distinguish themselves from the disbelievers by fulfilling the obligation of inviting them to Islam (openly in public). Distinguishing oneself from the disbelievers can be accomplished in many ways. However, this must be primarily done by holding onto the Islamic values and adhering to the Sharee'ah (without any compromise).

If a person is unable to hold onto his Deen; reject shirk and kufr (such as interfaith, multiculturalism, integration, false deities, etc.); disassociate himself from the disbelievers (such as by not voting for them, participating in their political processes or joining their forces, etc.); and openly invite society to Islam; it becomes prohibited for him to live amongst them, and hijrah (migration) will consequently become obligatory upon him.

The only person who has the permit not to distinguish himself from the Kuffaar and publicly invite them to Islam is the mujaahid. However, one should not let the Shaytaan (devil) whisper to him and convince him that he is a mujaahid or he is preparing for jihad. Nowadays there are many so-called jihadis who do nothing but sit behind their computers all day, slander sincere Muslims, watch a few video clips and free-mix in "Islamic" forums. What is even worse is that they have the audacity to claim they are working hard in the cause of Allah and are serving the Muslim Ummah.

Either da'wah or hijrah

One of the characteristics of a munaafiq (hypocrite) is that he lives between the Kuffaar (in daar ul-harb) without to fight them or distinguish himself from them (by calling them to Islam). Furthermore, he also abandons hijrah when it becomes obligatory upon him to do so. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an:

إِنَّالَّذِينَتَوَفَّاهُمُالْمَلائِكَةُظَالِمِيأَنْفُسِهِمْقَالُوافِيمَكُنْتُمْقَالُواكُنَّامُسْتَضْعَفِينَفِيالأرْضِقَالُواأَلَمْتَكُنْأَرْضُاللَّهِوَاسِعَةًفَتُهَاجِرُوافِيهَافَأُولَئِكَمَأْوَاهُمْجَهَنَّمُوَسَاءَتْمَصِيرًا

إِلاالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَمِنَالرِّجَالِوَالنِّسَاءِوَالْوِلْدَانِلايَسْتَطِيعُونَحِيلَةًوَلايَهْتَدُونَسَبِيلا

فَأُولَئِكَعَسَىاللَّهُأَنْيَعْفُوَعَنْهُمْوَكَانَاللَّهُعَفُوًّاغَفُورًا

“Verily! As for those whom the angels take [in death] while they are wronging themselves [as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them], they [angels] say [to them]: "In what [condition] were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They [angels] say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - what an evil destination!

Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way.

For these there is hope that Allah will forgive them, and Allah is ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.” (EMQ an-Nisaa', 4:97–99)

Ad-Dahhaak (RA) stated that this aayah (verse) was revealed about some hypocrites who did not join the Messenger of Allah (SAW) but remained in Makkah and went out with the idolaters for the Battle of Badr. They were killed among those (Mushrikeen) who were killed. Thus, this honourable aayah was revealed about those who reside among the idolaters, while able to perform hijrah and unable to practise their Deen. Such people will be committing injustice against themselves and fall into a prohibition according to the Consensus and also according to this aayah.

Moreover, in another aayah Allah (SWT) says:

فَمَالَكُمْفِيالْمُنَافِقِينَفِئَتَيْنِوَاللَّهُأَرْكَسَهُمْبِمَاكَسَبُواأَتُرِيدُونَأَنْتَهْدُوامَنْأَضَلَّاللَّهُوَمَنْيُضْلِلِاللَّهُفَلَنْتَجِدَلَهُسَبِيلا

وَدُّوالَوْتَكْفُرُونَكَمَاكَفَرُوافَتَكُونُونَسَوَاءًفَلاتَتَّخِذُوامِنْهُمْأَوْلِيَاءَحَتَّىيُهَاجِرُوافِيسَبِيلِاللَّهِفَإِنْتَوَلَّوْافَخُذُوهُمْوَاقْتُلُوهُمْحَيْثُوَجَدْتُمُوهُمْوَلاتَتَّخِذُوامِنْهُمْوَلِيًّاوَلانَصِيرًا

“Then what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties about the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back [to disbelief] because of what they have earned. Do you want to guide him whom Allah has made to go astray? And he whom Allah has made to go astray, you will never find for him any way [of guidance].

They wish that you reject [Imaan], as they have rejected [Imaan], and thus that you all become equal [like one another]. So take not awliyaa' [protectors or friends] from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allah. But if they turn back [from Islam], take [hold] of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither awliyaa' [protectors or friends] nor helpers from them.” (EMQ an-Nisaa', 4:88–89)

Imaam Ahmad recorded that Zayd bin Thaabit (RA) said that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) marched towards Uhud. However, some people went back to al-Madeenah, and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah divided into two groups concerning them, one saying they should be killed and the other objecting. Allah (SWT) then revealed: "Then what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties about the hypocrites…"

Haatib bin Abee Balta'ah

يَاأَيُّهَاالَّذِينَآمَنُوالاتَتَّخِذُواعَدُوِّيوَعَدُوَّكُمْأَوْلِيَاءَتُلْقُونَإِلَيْهِمْبِالْمَوَدَّةِوَقَدْكَفَرُوابِمَاجَاءَكُمْمِنَالْحَقِّيُخْرِجُونَالرَّسُولَوَإِيَّاكُمْأَنْتُؤْمِنُوابِاللَّهِرَبِّكُمْإِنْكُنْتُمْخَرَجْتُمْجِهَادًافِيسَبِيلِيوَابْتِغَاءَمَرْضَاتِيتُسِرُّونَإِلَيْهِمْبِالْمَوَدَّةِوَأَنَاأَعْلَمُبِمَاأَخْفَيْتُمْوَمَاأَعْلَنْتُمْوَمَنْيَفْعَلْهُمِنْكُمْفَقَدْضَلَّسَوَاءَالسَّبِيلِ

“O you who believe! Take not my enemies and your enemies [i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.] as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth [i.e. Islamic Monotheism, the Qur'aan, and Muhammad], and have driven out the Messenger [SAW] and yourselves [from your homeland] because you believe in Allah your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, [then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends]. You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you [Muslims] does that, then indeed he has gone [far] astray, [away] from the Straight Path.” (EMQ al-Mumtahanah, 60:1)

The situation of Haatib bin Abee Balta'ah is the reason behind the revelation of the beginning of this honourable Soorah. Haatib was among the Early Emigrants (Al-Muhajiroun) and participated in the Battle of Badr. Haatib had children and wealth in Makkah, but he was not from the tribe of Quraysh. Rather, he was an ally of 'Uthmaan. When the Messenger of Allah (SAW) decided to conquer Makkah, after its people broke the peace treaty between them, he ordered the Muslims to mobilize their forces to attack Makkah, and then supplicated, "O Allah! Keep our news concealed from them."

Haatib wrote a letter for the people of Makkah and sent it with a woman from the tribe of Quraysh, informing them of the Messenger's intent to attack them. He wanted them to be indebted to him (so that they would grant safety to his family in Makkah). Allah the Exalted conveyed this matter to His Messenger (SAW) because He accepted the Prophet's invocation (for Him to conceal the news of the attack). The Prophet sent someone after the woman and retrieved the letter.

This letter was addressed from Haatib bin Abee Balta'ah to some pagans of Makkah, telling them about what Allah's Messenger intended to do. Allah's Messenger (SAW) then said, "O Haatib! What is this?" Haatib replied, "O Allah's Messenger! Do not make a rash decision about me. I was a person not belonging to Quraysh, but I was an ally to them. All the Emigrants who were with you have kinsmen (in Makkah) who can protect their families. So I wanted to do them a favour, so they might protect my relatives, as I have no blood relation with them. I did not do this out of disbelief or to rebel from my religion, nor did I do it to choose disbelief after Islam."

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said to his Companions, "Regarding him (Haatib), he has told you the truth." 'Umar (RA) then exclaimed:

دعنييارسولاللهأضربعنقهذاالمنافق

“O Allah's Messenger! Allow me to strike the neck of this hypocrite [Kaafir]!”

The Prophet (SAW) responded, "But, he attended Badr. What can I tell you, perhaps Allah looked at those who attended Badr and said, 'O people of Badr, do what you like, for I have forgiven you.'" Allah (SWT) then revealed: "O you who believe! Take not my enemies and your enemies [i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.] as friends, showing affection towards them…"

We can learn from this incident that the Prophet (SAW) consented to the takfeer of 'Umar (RA) upon Haatib (RA), and had to wait for revelation from Allah in order to decide what to do with him. Furthermore, it is not permissible for a Muslim to give information to the Kuffaar even if it is to save one's family. Haatib (RA) was not punished however as he was saved by the wahy (revelation).

Conclusion

If certain Muslims in the West are going to continue to live between the Kuffaar and become engrossed with the dunyaa (such as by working excessive hours or wasting time spending years learning about the dunyaa in school, college or university), without to at least invite the disbelievers to Islam (publicly) and distinguish themselves from the non-Muslims, there is a great chance that they may become munaafiqeen. In order to avoid this they must either begin to engage in their Islamic responsibilities wherever they or make hijrah to a place where they are able to fulfil all their obligations.

Both da'wah and jihad are obligations upon Muslims; therefore, we should not be like those who are cursed by Almighty Allah (SWT) and follow some ahkaam (rules) but reject others. Allah Ta'aalaa says:

أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَبِبَعْضِالْكِتَابِوَتَكْفُرُونَبِبَعْضٍفَمَاجَزَاءُمَنْيَفْعَلُذَلِكَمِنْكُمْإِلاخِزْيٌفِيالْحَيَاةِالدُّنْيَاوَيَوْمَالْقِيَامَةِيُرَدُّونَإِلَىأَشَدِّالْعَذَابِوَمَااللَّهُبِغَافِلٍعَمَّاتَعْمَلُونَ

“Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.” (EMQ al-Baqarah, 2:85)

Furthermore, another condition for living between the Kuffaar is that one must support the jihad verbally and financially (if he is unable to do so physically). This is because the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

جاهدواالمشركينبأموالكموأنفسكموألسنتكم

“Fight the Mushrikeen by your wealth [financially], bodies [physically] and tongues [verbally].” (Sunan Abee Daawud, hadeeth no. 2504)

How Islam will dominate the world

2010-07-01T05:30:00.000-07:00

Allah (swt) says in the Qur’aan:

“It is he (Allah) who has sent his Messenger (saw) with guidance and the religion of truth, in order for it to be dominant over all other religions, even though the Mushrikoon (disbelievers) hate it.” (EMQ at-Tawbah, 9: 33)

And the messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

“Verily Allah has shown me the eastern and western part of the earth, and I saw the authority of my Ummah (nation) dominate all that I saw.” (Saheeh Muslim, hadeeth #2889)

As Allah (swt) has said; this religion (i.e. Islam) is the only religion of truth; and the reason why he has sent us this deen is “in order for it to be dominant over all other religions.” Thus, Allah (swt) never sent us this deen as a mere spiritual belief. This deen has been sent to us by Almighty Allah (swt) in order for it to be implemented and for the whole of mankind to abide by it.

The only one who would hate for Islam to dominate the world is the Kaafir Mushrik (non-Muslim), as Allah (swt) said, “…even though the Mushrikoon (disbelievers) hate it.” Consequently, any “Muslim” who dislikes for the Sharee’ah to be implemented (out of being afraid to be labelled “extremist” for example) has committed a negation of Eemaan, and thus left the fold of Islam for hating what Allah (swt) has revealed.

Why would the disbelievers and hypocrites hate for Islam to be implemented? Simply because they do not wish for their corruption, evil, crime, cheating, oppression, dishonesty, fraud, lies, tyranny, freedom, and deception to come to an end, and for justice (Islam) to prevail.

However, this worldwide domination of Islam which has been promised by Allah (swt) does not necessarily mean that every single person on earth will become Muslim. When we say that Islam will dominate the world, we mean as a political system, as the messenger Muhammad (saw) prophesised that the authority on earth will belong to the Muslims, i.e. the believers will be in power and the Sharee’ah of Islam will be implemented in every corner of the earth.

So how will Islam dominate the world when the majority of people will never accept it?

Indeed, the majority of people on earth will always detest Islam and choose not to live by the Sharee’ah. Allah (swt) says:

“And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly.” (EMQ Yoosuf, 12: 103)

Therefore there are three main ways in which a state or country can become Daar ul-Islam (the domain of Islam):

1. The majority of its citizens embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah on their own accord

2. A group of Muslims rise, overthrow the government and implement the Sharee’ah by force (coup)

3. The Islamic state carries out Jihaad as its foreign policy and removes the government

If the Muslims are unable to convince their people (e.g. through peaceful da’wah) to embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah, it then becomes an obligation upon them to make hijrah and unite (build their own community and execute the Sharee’ah over themselves) and then rise against the government by force at a later date, regardless of whether they are the majority or the minority. Allah (swt) says:

“Rule by what Allah has revealed (the Qur’aan and Sunnah) and do not follow their vain desires, but be aware of them lest they turn you far away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you…” (EMQ al-Maa-idah, 5: 49)

This verse clearly underlines the obligation of implementing the Sharee’ah; but as well as this, Allah (swt) says: “and do not follow their vain desires,” meaning, rule by the Sharee’ah even if they (the people) desire something else. The verse is so clear-cut and proves that the Sharee’ah must be implemented by force even if the people do not want it. Furthermore, Allah (swt) also says:

“And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (kufr and shirk) and worship (obedience, submission etc.) is for none but Allah…” (EMQ al-Baqarah, 2: 193)

One of the greatest forms of kufr and shirk today is the implementation of man-made law; therefore, since man-made law is a form of shirk, one of the only ways of eradicating it from the face of this earth is by Jihaad (fighting). In fact, it is an obligation upon us to fight against the fitnah (kufr and shirk, such as man-made law) until it ceases to exist. Islam has always been spread by the sword, and it will continue to do so.

Unfortunately, nowadays one of the greatest misunderstandings of the divine texts is in reference to the verse, “Laa ikraaha fid-Deen – There is no compulsion in religion…” (EMQ 2: 256). This verse has been falsely interpreted to mean that we cannot force Islam upon the people. However, if we refer to the understanding of the Sahaabah we can clearly see that this is not the case at all.

“There is no compulsion in religion” means that people should not be forced to embrace Islam i.e. become Muslim. But this does not mean that we cannot force Islam as a law and order upon the people. The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

“I have been ordered to fight mankind until they say, “Laa ilaaha illallah wa anna Muhammadar Rasool-Ullah – There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad (saw) is the messenger of Allah.” If they say that, their blood and wealth will be saved from me, except from the right of Islam (the Sharee’ah); and their accountability will be with Allah.” (Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad)

Therefore, the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and the believers were ordered to fight the people until they embrace Islam or live by Islam (and remain a Kaafir). If they become Muslim their blood and wealth will have sanctity, but they will still not be saved “from the right of Islam,” meaning that they must still abide by the Sharee’ah (as a law and order). But if they remain non-Muslim, they must at least live by the laws of Islam; either way, the people have a choice of which religion they want to follow, but they have no choice of whether to live by the Sharee’ah or not – this is the meaning of “except from the right of Islam.”

It has also been authentically proven that our messenger Muhammad (saw) used to order his companions to invite the disbelievers to Islam. If they refused to embrace it or accept it as a system of governance, then fight against them until Allah’s deen is dominant and implemented:

The messenger Muhammad (saw) said: “Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children.When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from their lands to the land of Muhaajiroun (migrants) and inform them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhaajiroun. If they refuse to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of Bedouin Muslims and will be subjected to the Commands of Allah like other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or Fay’ except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the disbelievers).If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizyah (tax). If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them…”(Saheeh Muslim #1731)

“If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizyah (tax). If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them.” The Jizyah is a small charge or tax which every non-Muslim must pay to the Khaleefah (leader of the Muslims). In return, the non-Muslim will be under a covenant, thus making it prohibited for any Muslim to violate his sanctity. This order from the Messenger Muhammad (saw) is very clear; if they refuse to embrace Islam, demand from them the Jizyah i.e. implement the Sharee’ah over them. If they refuse both of these options, to embrace Islam or live by it as a system of governance, “seek Allah’s help and fight them.”

Conclusion

So how will Islam dominate the world? Most likely by force! If the people do not embrace Islam and implement the Sharee’ah on their own accord, it becomes an obligation upon the Muslims to fight and implement Islam. In countries such as Britain and America, their people have clearly rejected to embrace Islam and will never choose to live by the Sharee’ah. Therefore, the only two ways in which these countries can become under the domain of Islam is by the last two options, a group of Muslims rise and overthrow the government, or an Islamic state is established elsewhere and comes to conquer these nations.

The messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

“This matter (Islam) will keep spreading as far as the night and day reach, until Allah will not leave a house made of mud or hair, but will make this religion enter it, while bringing might to a mighty person (a Muslim) and humiliation to a disgraced person (who rejects Islam); might with which Allah elevates Islam (and its people), and disgrace with which Allah humiliates disbelief (and its people).” (Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad)

“A small portion of Muslims will rise and conquer the White House.” (Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad)

Any person who mocks this concept of Islam dominating the world has one of the attributes of the Munaafiqeen and could have committed one of the negations of Islam – disbelieving in the sayings of Allah and his Messenger (saw).

The Concept of Khilafah (Islamic Caliphate)

2010-06-12T14:52:00.001-07:00

When Tony Blair and George Bush talked about never allowing another Taliban style state to be established, what they in fact meant is the concept of the Khilafah. This is a system of governance where only the Shari’ah is implemented and where sovereignty and supremacy belong solely to God.

The Khilafah system is the dream of most Islamic movements around the world today as an ultimate objective, since the last remnants of this system were destroyed at the hands of Kemal Ataturk on the 3rd of March 1924. Called the Othmani Caliphate at its demise, the Khilafah system of governance existed ever since the lifetime of Messenger Muhammad when he established the first Islamic State in 622 CE. There was then an unbroken chain of Islamic States for 1302 years until its destruction in 1924.

The Khilafah system is not implemented anywhere in the world today; rather every country in the Muslim world today implements a form of capitalism, monarchy or other form of dictatorship or secular system. Unlike the leaders who rule today, the Khaleefah (or Emir/Amir/Ameer) – who has been given authority by the Muslims to rule over the Khilafah – must ensure that only the Shari’ah is implemented internally and that it is also carried to the world as the foreign policy of the State.

The Taliban had the dream of bringing back this unique system of governance. However, beset with civil war and attempts to overthrow them, they came close to reaching this ideal only to be halted in the final stages of their embryonic development.

So why would the West, and in particular George Bush and Tony Blair, be so vehemently against the re-establishment of such a system? Is it because they are concerned at how women were obliged to cover themselves in public, is it because they opposed capital punishment or is it because they understand that establishing the Khilafah means the re-emergence of this beacon of light on the earth and the beginning of the end of man made systems of law?

It is clear that the latter is the real cause for concern. The Khilafah system is in truth an affront to all capitalist or other man made systems of ruling because it rejects all their ideologies, foundations and institutions. It does not accept secularism, democracy, liberalism or freedom and nor does it accept for anybody to have any say over it such as the United Nations or their Security Council.

Hence, the Khilafah would be in one camp whilst the rest of the world would be in the other. Sovereignty for God verses sovereignty for man, the law of God verses the law of man, a civilisation based on divine commands verses a civilisation based on the whims and desires of man. This is the real reason why the American and British governments are firmly against its emergence.

The Muslim activists have known this ever since the destruction of the previous state at the hands of the British stooge Kemal Ataturk in 1924. Muslims witnessed the conspiracies and plots of the British and French, as they divided the remnants of the Islamic State amongst themselves after the First World War. They saw the Balfour declaration give Palestine to the Jews when it was already occupied by and in fact belonged to Muslims. They experienced the insistence of the British and French upon Kemal Ataturk’s new regime, post-Khilafah, that being the withdrawal of the foreign troops, from what became Turkey, would only occur after the reassurance that the Khilafah would never re-emerge.

With this in mind is it any wonder that attacks against the Taliban are translated immediately as attacks against Islam and Muslims directly by most Muslims around the world. Is it any wonder that ridiculing their ideology and belittling their belief shows Muslims the true hatred which the Bush’s and Blair’s of this world harbour towards Islam and is it any wonder that promises to stop any Khilafah system from being established is a challenge to all Muslims to redouble their efforts to please Allah and to prove these tyrants wrong.

However, the struggle to bring back the Khilafah is hard and wrought with difficulties because of the physical and intellectual hurdles which must be overcome. The physical ones consisting of the dictatorial regimes in charge over Muslim countries with their masters overlooking them. The intellectual hurdles consist of the false notions introduced into the mindset of Muslims by the secularists with their new religion, which is anathema to Islam and its correct understanding and implementation.

Having said this, the Islamic movements world-wide have begun to create political vacuums in many Muslim countries, where the masses are dissatisfied with their brutal regimes and are looking for an alternative to satisfy their basic needs and to protect their sanctities. The Muslim Ummah (community) has been described by scholars as a pregnant woman in her last stage of pregnancy – she has a short time before delivery. The only question is whether it will be a natural birth delivered through public opinion and awareness leading to change or whether it will be carried out via a caesarean operation requiring a military coup or bloody revolution.

There are unique aspects to the concept of Khilafah which cause concern for the capitalist camp. One such attribute is the fact that the Khilafah state does not have fixed borders; rather, it has always had frontiers which are expanded whenever the Islamic State can launch jihad to remove the obstacles in the way of implementing divine law or when the bordering country accepts Islamic law and order peacefully. This is contrary to the concept of nation states and the United Nations which prohibits annexation of countries and thereby maintains the hegemony of the current larger states over the divided and smaller (often Muslim) ones.

Another problem which the leaders of the capitalist world share is the fact that the Khaleefah, when appointed, will never agree to permanent peace with any nation; rather its foreign policy is built on the basis of temporarily having ceasefires so long as Islam is allowed to be propagated in the other country, though once the time limit expires the Islamic State may advance and annex the land to implement the Shari’ah there without notice. The maximum ceasefire allowed in Islam being 10 years.

A further reason why the Western camp will never tolerate the emergence of the Khilafah is that trade with other nations will never involve the sale of items which could strengthen their military capability against the Khilafah. Hence the fact that much of the world’s resources in terms of oil, uranium and various raw components of military machinery are to be found in Muslim countries is a strong motivating factor in countries such as the US and UK – having military and economic interests on Muslim soil – to promote democracy (i.e. man made law) and freedom (freedom from Shari’ah that is) even if it costs 1000s of lives. It was towards the beginning of the current Iraq war that a top US official actually warned the Saudi authorities that if they decided to cut oil supplies or subsidies to the US then the US military would look after these interests themselves, i.e. invade Saudi Arabia.

Capitalists and the proponents of secularism also know that the strength of a nation is not its physical capability or monetary wealth but rather its thoughts and concepts, its intellect and driving force. They also realise that once the Khilafah is established on Earth there will once again be education for the masses based purely on the revelation from the Qur’an and teachings of the Messenger Muhammad; Western corruption from Hollywood and the pornography, cosmetics and fashion industries exploiting the procreation instincts will be banned; consuming and trading in drugs and alcohol will be illegal; and monopolising wealth or commodities and engaging in usurious transactions will also be illegal.

Without such time wasting and taming influences, the emerging Islamic State will be able to concentrate on nurturing a nation of people that are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of pleasing God.

The emerging Khilafah will therefore have a formidable army which will be very hard to confront. Even the few resistance fighters in Iraq with this mindset are keeping the full might of the US and UK armies busy. With no hang ups about what the United Nations might say and nothing to check their actions except the divine Text, the fear of the Khilafah will no doubt reach pandemic proportions.

Indeed the Messenger Muhammad said that he had been given things which no previous prophet of Allah (God) had been given before him, among them is the fact that the enemies of Islam and the Muslims feared his arrival and were consequently defeated one month before he even arrived at the battlefield.

In fact, it would not be an overstatement to say that the biggest nightmare that the capitalist camp could envisage for the future of it's interests in Muslim countries and indeed for its own future is once again having to confront the might and majesty of the Khilafah system of governance.
