Can the Caliphate make a comeback?

The following is an interesting article, it highlights the growing realisation that many Muslims want the return of the Khilafah (Caliphate). The author makes some fundamental mistakes in his analysis: - The Khilafah will not be an authoritarian state as he claims. Rather it will be an ideological state where the system emanates from the belief of the people i.e. the Aqeeda (belief) of Islam. The Khilafah wil not be a police state like the repressive governments in the Muslim world. - The author assumes that Muslims from different ethnic backgrounds will not accept a Khalifah from other than their ethnic background. Although nationalism does exist to some extent in the Muslim world, however its influenced has weakened over the last decades - the reality today is that of there was a Khalifah in the Muslim world who sincere applied the Islamic system, removed the foreign occupation from our lands, launched war on the state of Israel, etc - the majority of Muslims in the world would suppo

International convention/norm and international law - Politcal Concepts Part 4

During competition over the post of the leading state in the past, there did not appear political actions linked to any international law; because there was no such law. Rather, since early history competition was through military actions represented by wars, invasion, and biting some frontier territories. This situation continued till mid 18th century, where the international law expanded, or rather existed as a law and legislation. Since that time, political actions started to assume an important part in international relations, and in the settlement of international problems. Thus, political actions started to replace military actions concerning settlement of problems, containing the domination of the leading state and competition over its position. Since that time, arbitration to international law regarding international relations increased; besides the use of political actions as a means for solving international problems, either alone or together with wars and invasions, increase

Imprisoning the workers for Khilafah will only make them stronger by the will of Allah

Most of the following article was translated from an arabic leaflet issues by the Da'wa carriers in Jordan, with some minor ammendments. The system in Jordan which claims falsely its condemnation for publishing photos that make offense to Rasulullah (saw) in some of the Kafer countries, passed sentences of imprisonment ranging from one to one and a half years on the workers for Khilafah, who follow the steps of the prophet (saw) to resume the Islamic life by establishing the Khilafah Rashidah, the state by which the sanctities of Islam are protected as well as the blood, honor and money of Muslims. If we go back to the Jordanian law of penalty, we find that the punishment -of he who calls for Islam without violence or inciting violence- is two years imprisonment, on the other hand, the punishment of he who causes offense for Islam and for the prophet (saw) do not exceed three months or paying a fine not more than twenty dinars, as was stated in item 278 from the law of penalties wh

Workers for Khilafah arrested in Lebanon - 19th April 06

Most of the following is taken from a press release from the workers for Khilafah in Lebanon, it is a draft translation from Arabic: Date: 21 Rabi'-ul Awwal 1427 AH 19 April 2006 CE "Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with their mouths: But Allah will complete His Light, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it)." [As-Saf: 8] A noble charitable Ummah, and carriers of truth whose light goes in front of them by the will of Allah, with which they disperse the darkness of oppression and subjugation, they carried truth to annihilate falsity with it, even though the protectors of darkness hated that. A procession drawn by the Shabab who refused but to stay adhere to their Ummah, they walked with naked chests and steady steps in order to raise the word of Allah, and to support His religion, and glorify their Ummah, to the project of a political unity for all of the Islamic world, a project of dignity and honor, a project of justice, and mercy for

Sunnah – The Islamic Way of Life

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful All praise is due to Allah, and peace be on His Prophets and Messengers that He has chosen above the rest of the people. It is said in Lisaan Al-‘Arab: “Sann Al-Shayi’ (the root word of Sunnah)” (linguistically) means to sharpen something and to polish it. And the “Sunnah of Allah” means His laws, His commands and His prohibitions (this is the opinion of Al-Lihyaani). And the meaning of “Sannah Allah Lil Naas” means “Allah has clarified it for the people”. And the meaning of “Sanna Allah Sunnatann” means “Allah has clarified the correct method for something”. Allah (swt) states in the Qur’an “It was a practice (Sunnah of Allah) approved by Allah amongst those of old who have passed away” [TMQ Al-Ahzaab: 33]. So the words “Sunnat Allah” have been established on the verb implication, thus the verse means “Allah has approved the practice of killing those who were hypocritical with the Prophets and fought them”. And “Sananntuha San
