Islamic Revival

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Question: Assalaamu Alaikum Ustaadh Ahmad, I would be grateful if you could answer my question: In the case where Allah (swt) has negated the Imaan of the one who does not rule by the Shar’a of Allah, what then is the description of our rulers? Are they Murtaddeen (apostates) or Munaafiqeen (hypocrites)? Answer: Wa Alaikumus Salaam Wa Rahmatullah, The ‘Ulamaa have differed in regards to their judgement upon the rulers who do not rule by what Allah (swt) has revealed. Some of them said he is a Kaafir Mutlaaqan (absolutely) whilst the majority have stated that the judgement differs case by case. So if he rules by other than what Allah has revealed and declares that this is the correct manner of ruling and the truth whilst stating that the Shar’a of Allah is not suitable for ruling or that Allah (swt) has not legislated a Shar’a for us to be ruled by i.e. he is a disbeliever in the Shar’a., then in this case he would be a Kaafir (disbeliver). However if he was to r

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Question: Assalaamu Alaikum Ustaadh Ahmad, I have a question and would be appreciative if you were able to answer it. Is Hizb ut Tahrir capable of establishing the Islamic State in Lebanon? If yes, then how will it do so? And if no, then what is the significance and importance of the political activities of the Hizb in Lebanon which are related to the call to build an Islamic Khilafah? The answer: Indeed Lebanon is not suitable or viable to be any kind of State, whether Islamic or otherwise. This is because it is a failed state in all meanings of the term and its history is the greatest witness upon this fact. Additionally there is no solution that can be envisaged for the Lebanese problem except for Lebanon returning to being a part of the region that surrounds it, as it has previously been throughout the years. Therefore the future of Lebanon fully depends upon the future of the surrounding region. Hizb ut Tahrir works in Lebanon w

Sharh At-Takattul Al-Hizbi  (Explanation of  Party Structuring ).  This is a translation from the explanation of the unique book by Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani.  TO ACCESS PART 15 CLICK  HERE The moral associations and organisations: Alongside the cultural and charitable associations, moral associations were also established that worked to revive the Ummah upon the basis of morals (Akhlaaq) by utilising exhortation (Wa’zh), guidance (Irshaad), lectures and publications with the consideration that morals represented the basis of revival. They expended effort and wealth into these associations (Jam’iyaat) but they did not produce significant results whilst exhausting the emotion of the Ummah with these boring and repetitive discussions. These associations were established upon an incorrect understanding of the speech of Allah (swt) to his Messenger (saw): وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ And verily you are upon a great moral character

Question: Our Dear Ameer, Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, may Allah give victory through you. It is mentioned in the book, The Funds in the Khilafah State (Al-Amwal), on the subject of fines, page 104 (English edition), "Similarly, a fine is taken from the abstainer of paying Zakat half of his wealth as chastisement above the Zakat obliged upon him, due to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: «وَمَنْ مَنَعَهَا فأنا آخذها وشطر ماله» "....Whoever prevented it then I will take it plus half of his wealth"  (narrated by Abu Dawood and Ahmad). It appears from what is stated that the adopted opinion is the permissibility of imposing fine on the abstainer of paying Zakat as a chastising punishment "Ta'ziria", despite many differences between the scholars on its legitimacy, but what I would like clarification on is: 1. The Hadeeth that is inferred in full, in terms of the chain of transmission (sanad) and the text (matn), since I ha

Question & Answer: Participation in Kufr Systems Question: While researching the prohibition for a Muslim to participate in a Kufr system which does not rule by Islam, someone said that they heard one of the scholars allowing this participation citing Yusuf (as) ruling by the laws (shariyah) of the king of Egypt... Also that the Negus remained for many years ruling by Kufr even though he was a Muslim and the Prophet (saw) prayed Janazah prayer  in absentia for him. And that benefit (Maslaha) which is a Shariyah evidence requires so (i.e. participation). A Muslim in ruling (hukm) will cater to the interests of Muslims more than a secularist. The question is how valid are these evidences? Is it true that there are scholars who advocate this? Please provide us with the answers, Jazak Allah Khairan. Answer: Yes, some Government scholars speak of this rhetoric. They do not base what they say on evidences; because the ruling by what Allah has revealed is based on clear
