Islamic Revival

The following is the translation of an article from the book by  Hizb ut-Tahrir  entitled 'Introduction to the Constitution and the necessary evidences for it' which is the explanation of its draft constitution for the Khilafah state. This draft translation is from the  second edition  published in 2009 which was updated from the original published in 1963.  Numerous brigades in Syria  have agreed to the implementation of this constitution after the removal of the corrupt system that has brutally suppressed the people for decades.  Article 4 The Khalifah does not adopt any specific Shari’ah rule in matters related to rituals(‘ ibadaat ) except in Zakat and Jihad, and whatever is necessary to protect the unity of the Muslims, and nor does he adopt any thought from among the thoughts related to the Islamic ‘Aqidah .
