3rd March: Destruction of khilafah will become
the day of Revival of Khilafah
[courtesy: nycmuslim]
On March 3, 1924 Mustafa Kamal with the aid of
the British and the west broke
up the Khilafah. This painful reminder must not
be forgotten. It must be
used, by all Muslims, as a platform from which to
work for the establishment
of Khilafah as
1) The only method by which Muslims can live in
dignity, and
2) From which the message of Islam can be carried
to the world so that it can
be a guide and mercy for all people because the
existence of Khilafah means
the establishment of rule by Shari'ah and
consequently the removal of
injustice, transgression and rejection of Allah's
law.
The pain is felt by the totality of the Muslims
but still remains a barrier
of not being able to voice their opposition, and
not entering in the
political struggle to re-establish Khilafah, and
knowing very well but
notwithstanding that the Sahabah agreed that it
is Haram (unlawful) for a
Muslim to remain two nights without an oath to a
Khalifah, Prophet Mohammed
(SAW) says "whom of you who dies without an oath
has died a death of the
times of jahilliyah (ignorance)". A researcher
into the reality of Muslims
would conclude that the destruction of the
Khilafah was not merley an issue
of destiny, as some may make us believer, but
rather the non-believers who
worked tirelessly for the break up of Khilafah
were aware of its importance.
This is acknowledged by Curzon, the then British
Foreign Secretary, who
proclaimed after the signing of the Lausanne
agreement on July 24, 1924 "the
issue is that Turkey has been vanquished and will
not re-emerge because we
were able to destroy its moral power; Khilafah
and Islam"
Though it would not have been possible for the
Kuffar and their agents such
as Mustafa Kamal and others to bring about this
collapse had Muslims been
aware of their religion and the system upon which
they should base their
lives. However due to the decline in thought and
vision which characterised
Muslims at the time, it became impossible for
them to recognise the momentous
issues of destiny facing them and which required
incisive action.
This inaction of Ummah can only mean that it did
not view the collapse of the
Khilafah as an issue linked directly with the
collapse of the Ummah as a
whole, it was the wall and the cover behind which
the Muslims were defended,
their rights protected and their lives and honour
safeguarded.
The decline in Islamic thought and vision can be
traced back to the second
century after Hijrah, as Muslims were influenced
by foreign philosophies and
the non existence of an Islamic political party
or parties teaching Muslims
political thinking on the basis of Islam. Hence,
the role of guardian over
the Ummah became the domain of the Khalifah.
Further the banning of Iftaa and
fatwaa in the fourth Hijrah century, a problem
even understood by the Kuffar
and appears in their works, dealt a severe blow
to Islam as this is a method
of intellectual collapse. Banning of fatwaas
leads to isolation and inability
to derive Shari'ah laws to deal with daily issues
facing Muslims. The door to
fatwaas on new issues by comparative study to the
divine text and the fatwaa
of the past is open till the day of judgement.
Later there was the separation of Arab vigour
from that of Islam by
neglecting the Arabic language and discarding it
as the official language of
the State, notwithstanding that Arabic is the
language used in Iftaa to
derive Shari’ah Laws from its detailed evidence.
The problem was accentuated
by the Mongol and Christian Crusades. Further,
the missionary and
intellectual invasion undertaken by the Kufr
western countries which did and
continues to conspire against Islam and Muslims,
incited national and
territorial rivalries between Muslims so that
Muslims began to call for
separate nations and ignored the Islamic Laws.
Thus, by the onset of the First World War the
components for the break up of
the Khilafah were in place. The Kufr western
countries then executed
political and military attacks which Muslims
failed, to counter due to the
decline in Islamic thought and vision and hence a
lack in their motivation.
Thus, leaving the Kuffar and their agents to
break up the Khilafah without
the Muslim world making a single move or comment
since it was in a state of
weakness and disunity, and an inability to
understand Islam. Some even
disbelieved the ability of Shari'ah to adapt to
changes in society. These
factors meant that they were unable to vision the
real issues facing them,
thus, enabling Kafirs and their agents to instil
certain ideas contrary to
Islam which Muslims due to their weakness
attempted to marry with Shari'ah.
Others went further and accepted these ideas as
being from Islam. These
ideas, such as democracy socialism and social
equality, affected the thinking
of most Muslims. These ideas are alien and
contradictory to Islam as the
concept of Islam is unique and unlike any other
concept since it is perfected
in the Revelation from Allah (SWT), by his word
"This day have I perfected your religion for you,
completed my favour upon
you, and have chosen for you Islam as your
religion". [TMQ 5:3] The
predicament of Muslims today is witnessed by all
with no need for explanation
or description. Our lands are ruled by Kufr
concepts and are thus, Kufr
states, they are also divided into more than 50
autonomous states. All are
aware that Muslims live in absolute poverty and
total ignorance, in a state
of suppression, murder, statelessness,
humiliation and the depths of despair.
The
Jews
who are the most shamed of Allah's
creation have humiliated and
expelled them and desecrated the holy land which
Allah has glorified. Alas
Muslim leaders compete and conspire to hand the
holy land to the Jews.
Further, the Hindus are destroying their mosques
and humiliating and murdered
them, they are being expelled from their homes;
the Serbs are killing and
expelling them and raping their women in Bosnia
committing crimes which make
Hitler look simple. Muslims make no move as if
they were dead. The calls for
assistance and protection resonate but no
response is forthcoming; Muslims
have become like sheep without a Shepherd.
This is why the issue for all is to transform the
Muslim states to Dar Islam,
i.e. Lands ruled by Islam and reunite them with
all other lands; this is the
issue of destiny, rather it is the totality of
the issues of destiny. Hence,
the steps taken towards this issue need be
incisive as a matter of life and
death.
This issue of destiny, i.e. the transformation,
is the goal we need to
achieve, however the method we need to employ to
achieve this goal can only
be by the re-establishment of Khilafah. This is
without doubt an issue of
life and death as although Khilafah is our method
for transforming our lands
into a Dar Islam, its to be established only to
destroy the Kufr regimes and
eliminate the Kufr Buah (i.e. open disbelief) and
to re-unite the Muslim
Lands and remove our humiliation, poverty,
hunger, ignorance and to purify
our Lands from the Kuffar's desecration.
Many great attempts to re-etsablish the Khilafah
has been witnessed by the
Muslim Ummah in this part of the world, where the
writings of shah Wali Ullah
focusing on Khilafah and its vital need, as well
as the planned movements of
Sheikh Al-Hind, whose tahreeks like the
Rsshmi-Rumaal and the
Tahreek-e-Khilafat by his students Muhammad Ali
Johar, were the first
movements to re-establish the Khilafah and claim
back the glory of the Muslim
Ummah.
For this reason we call upon every Muslim in the
midst of this Kufr
controlling the Muslim lands to work for the
re-establishment of the Khilafah
as a method to transform his land to a Dar Islam
and to re-unite it with
other Muslim lands, and to carry the Da'wa to the
world to install Islam,
Allah (SWT) said:
"It is HE who has sent his Apostle with Guidance
and the Religion of Truth,
that he may proclaim it over all religion". [TMQ
9:33] On this day in which
we remember the break up of the Khilafah, we call
upon you all Muslims to
re-establish a Khilafah Rashidah based upon the
method of the Prophet (SAW)
because in this we will gain glory in life and
after life, and through it
will ensue our role as witnesses on all people:
"Allah will certainly aid those who aid HIS
cause; for verily Allah is Full
of Strength, Exalted in Might able to enforce HIS
will. They are those who,
if we establish them in the Land, establish
regular prayer and give regular
charity, enjoin the right forbid wrong: with
Allah rests the end and decision
of all affairs". [TMQ 22:40-41]
