Only the Khilafah will end colonialist exploitation

بِسْمِ الله الرَّحمَنِ الرَحيم

On 13 September 2007, during the visit of US Deputy Secretary of State, John Negroponte, President General Pervez Musharraf emphatically denied any dictation from America in Pakistan’s affairs. On state television, Musharraf claimed, “No one is dictating to us ... We are taking action in the national interest.” Musharraf further added that Pakistan is a strong Muslim country, saying, “We are not weak. We have stature in the region and in the Ummah. We are a nuclear and missile power [with a population] of 160 million.”

However, since 12 October 1999 until now, Musharraf has consistently used Pakistan’s many strengths to secure colonialist interests, despite dire consequences for the Muslims of Pakistan. Moreover, the current wrangling over ruling- involving supreme-court proceedings over Musharraf’s election as a President, deportations of politicians, briefings between politicians of all colors with the British and the Americans- will surely prolong subservience to the colonialists, regardless of its outcome in terms of changes of faces. This was an inevitable matter because the current system is inherently designed to secure the interests of the colonialists, regardless of whether the ruler is civilian or military, dictator or democrat, inclined to the Americans or the British.

The present system has ensured that over the last eight years, the affairs of Muslims have worsened so that the colonialists may prevail over them. This is despite changes of faces through elected assemblies and prime ministers. This is also despite the presence of those who call for the implementation of Islam through the present system.

Through the present system, America secured the use of Pakistan’s airbases to enable it to viciously bomb Afghanistan, preparing the ground for an invasion and occupation. Then when America’s occupying forces faced fierce resistance from the Muslims of the tribal areas, America was able to ensure that Pakistan’s soldiers fought their own Muslim brothers, creating chaos and an atmosphere of fear throughout Pakistan. With its army, the world’s seventh largest, engaged in a disruptive conflict within its own borders, Pakistan now becomes less of a threat to America.
Also, through the present system, America ensured that the Muslims of Kashmir were abandoned before the brutal Indian aggressors. Jihad against the Hindu occupying forces was declared a crime. Now, the Muslims of Kashmir and Pakistan are to concede to Hindu injustice and supremacy, in spite of the fact that Muslims as a minority ruled by the light of Islam over the whole of the Indian Subcontinent for hundreds of years.

And through the present system, America is seeking to prevent the Ummah’s relentless return to Islam. The Americans are deeply concerned about the growth of Islam. On 28 February 2006, Negroponte, Director of National Intelligence at the time, testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee, “In general, Muslims are becoming more aware of their Islamic identity, leading to growing political activism…” America fears that Islamic revival will naturally lead to the political change that is required in the Muslim World- the uprooting of the colonialist system and the re-establishment of the Khilafah- as has been mentioned repeatedly by both British and American government officials.

Fearing the demise of the system that has served them so well for so long, America hopes to deceive the Muslims by making a cosmetic, artificial change by changing the faces in the present system through elections. On 12 September 2007, Negroponte said, “We look forward to democratic elections being held in Pakistan quite shortly and we think it is quite important that there be a smooth and democratic political transition.”

The Americans hope that the change in faces will vent some of the anger of the people, whilst allowing the colonialist system to continue. And the Americans consider this as a matter of vital importance and this is why the US government has invested millions of dollars in Pakistan’s system and has been active in meeting Pakistan’s politicians, rulers and assembly members.

It is inevitable that the present system will always secure the interests of the colonialists, regardless of who comes to rule within it, whether by elections or coup. The fundamental basis of the present system is that man should be the one to decide the Halaal and Haraam, the good and bad i.e. man should place himself in the position of Legislator instead of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. The colonialists are then able to ensure that both the rulers and the assemblies make laws according to their interests.

Whilst Islam stipulates that the ruler is elected by choice and consent and it stands against the one who usurps the authority, Islam denies both the elected Khaleefah and the elected members of the Majlis-e-Ummah the right to decide what is Halal and what is Haram for themselves as occurs in democracy and dictatorship. And Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed,

وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ
“Those who do not judge by the law which Allah has revealed, they are the oppressors.” [Surah Al-Maidah 5:45]

And Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed,

وَمَا آتَاكُمْ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَاب
“So take what RasulAllah assigns to you and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you. And fear Allah; for Allah is strict in Punishment.” [Surah Al-Hashr 59:7]

O Muslims of Pakistan!

RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم warned the Muslims,

لَا يُلْدَغُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ وَاحِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ
“A believer is never stung from the same whole twice.” (Bukhari)

Without doubt the Muslims of Pakistan have not been stung twice, but countless times from the present system for over sixty years. It is high time that you forsook the present system that allows rulers to rule over you by a constitution and laws based on Kufr, whether dictatorship or democracy, and liberate yourselves from the clutches of the Kafir colonialists. That can only happen by establishing a Khilafah state and by electing a Khaleefah to rule and representatives of the Majlis-e-Ummah to provide consultation and accounting. Only then the strength of the Muslims will be used to liberate them from the oppression of the colonialists through the implementation of Islam.

يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ
“O you who believe! Give your response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calls you to that which gives you life.” (Surah Anfal 8:24)

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
