We ask Allah (the Supreme) to ensure that our gathering is completely for His sake and to give us the good for Islam and Muslims. We ask Allah (the Supreme) to reveal to our sight the truth as truth, and give us the strength to follow it, and show us falsehood as falsehood, and give us the strength to avoid it. Allah the Supreme demands that people worship him alone. This means that they derive their concepts, values, laws and ruling systems from Allah, i.e. through the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet (saw). Adopting any other source of authority is a negation of the declaration 'La ilaha illa Allah'. Islam provides the Muslim not only with a belief (Iman) but solution for all problems is well. The application of these solutions to the problems of life is worship. When the Muslims applied these solutions, i.e. the divine laws (ahkam shairya) and conducted all their life's affairs according to Islam and the Islamic ruling system, we were the mightiest nation on the earth and the most civilised society the world has ever known. When we slackened in our adherence to Islam, we declined both as a state and people. When we abandoned Islam and its system of life, our decline was complete and our failure and humiliation was apparent for all to see. The Islamic world has become characterised by failure, disunity, bloodshed and oppression, and our Governments are totally ineffective on the international stage. The secular programmes and Ideologies have failed to achieve the revival of the Muslim Ummah, and have pushed the Muslims further towards dependency on the west. It is against this background that this Homepage explain how our revival can only occur when we return to Islam, believing in its creed and implementing its systems and laws. When these two interdependent elements are brought together in harmony, the Muslims will progress. Achieving the satisfaction of Allah, we will ascend to our rightful level as leaders of mankind. But so long as we implement non-Islamic laws and systems of life we will continue to fumble in the depths of despair, exploited and cheated by nations who once never dreamed they could be our equals let alone our superiors. The body responsible for implementing Islam is a state, known as Al-Khilafah. The establishment of the Khilafah is an obligation upon all Muslims proven by evidences from the Quran, the Sunnah, and Ijma as-sahaba (consensus of the companions r.a) These evidences are dealt with at length in the Homepage. The Sahaba (ra) gained favour with Allah because they responded to the call of Allah. They showed Allah their sincere intentions, and spend their wealth and thier lives to raise high the word of Allah(swt). Together with the Prophet (saw) they established the first Islamic State and built its pillars on the debris of Jahilliyya and territories of Shirk. Today, the Muslim nation needs the believers to answer the call of Allah and to work with, and in, the nation (ummah) to restore the ruling to Islam. This requires that Muslims gain knowledge of his duty, that is an obligatory duty which if neglected deserves the punishment of Allah; and that in its performance, he must be restricted by the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of his Prophet (saw)...... "O you who believe, answer the call of Allah and His Messenger when He calls you to that which gives you life." [TMQ 8:24] Sultanah X B.A (HONS) Undergraduate History and War Studies Age 19 |
