I've read countless articles here on PFF claiming that the establishment of the Khilafah is going to be the miracle solution for the current plight of Pakistan and muslims in general. I would like to ask the pro-Khilafah posters to answer a few questions.

1. Isn't the basic idea of the Khilafah against the concept of Pakistan as a sovereign nation? Does the pro-Khilafah movement intend to establish the Khilafah through violent revolution? Will Pakistan's interest be held first? Or will Pakistan the nation become irrelevant? Whose interest will be held up first? Pakistanis or muslims under plight thousands of miles away?


2. How do you intend to select your leadership if not through elections? Appointment via group of Muftis? Where are these Muftis from and who gives them accreditation on whether they are real Muftis or not? Will these Muftis be educated in world diplomacy? Are these "Muftis" going to be from a certain sects of Islam? Will there be Shia Muftis and Sunni Muftis in the group the choses the leader? What gives these Muftis legitimate right to represent the wishes of the masses if they are not going to be elected?

3. Will Shariah law be established? Under whose interpretation? What about the minority non muslims in Pakistan?

The Caliphate is a political system from the ideology of Islam that enshrines: the rule of law, representative government, accountability by the people through an independent judiciary and the principle of representative consultation. It is government built upon a concept of citizenship regardless of ethnicity, gender or creed and is totally opposed to the oppression of any religious or ethnic grouping.

The highest executive post is the post of khalifah who appoints ministers without portfolio to assist in ruling, and governors for the various regions. The legislative sources are the Quran and sayings of the prophet Muhammad. While differences of interpretation of these sources can occur, as with any legislative sources, the particular interpretation adopted by the Khalifah must be justified before an independent judiciary, which has the power to remove him from his post should he flagrantly deviate from the boundaries of credible legal interpretation ( ijtihad). The khalifah is appointed by the people, and hereditary rule by supposed divine right is forbidden. Consultation is one of the pillars of ruling and is best served by the establishment of representative councils composed of men and women from all religions and ethnic groupings within the state.

While this system differs from western liberal democracy in a number of ways, there are some surface similarities. It must, however, be realised that though Muslims in Iraq sometimes use the term democracy it is the Islamic concept of the rule of law, the right of the people to appoint their own leader and open accountable government that they aspire to. This has hitherto been denied them by the western backed quisling regimes that hitherto have taken away all their political rights and whipped their backs. Egypt, for example, has just gone through elections to its consultative upper house of parliament with 80% of the seats going to the ruling party. The darker side of Egypt's façade of democracy is commented upon by Mona Makram-Ebeid, a prominent Egyptian politician and human-rights activist “They [the government] always manage to get a hold of Islamist leaders and put them in jail, then release them when the elections are over”. Egypt's president Mubarak has won a majority in each of the three elections held since his appointment twenty three years ago – what helped him was that nobody dared to stand against him.

The Middle East's experience of democracy to date is of a deceptive formality of elections, which serve only to rubber stamp dictatorial rule. Failure to realise this will lead to frustration, later, when the Muslims of Iraq appear ungrateful to the west for removing Saddam Hussain and offering in his place western style liberal secular democracy.

The Rule of Law

The arbitrary rule by the whim of self-appointed presidents and kings that has plagued Iraq and the whole Middle East is anathema to the principle of the rule of law within Islam's political system. The application of the law is in the hands of an independent judiciary that has a special section called the ‘court of unjust acts' whose task is to investigate impropriety on the part of members of the executive against the people. As for individual wrongdoing – the khalifah is subject to the same laws and penalties as the rest of the people because he is not considered a sovereign over his subjects. The same cannot be said for the Queen of England – she is, constitutionally speaking, the law itself making it a logical impossibility for her to be subject and sovereign at the same time. The publication of former US President Bill Clinton's autobiography should remind everyone of the events that demonstrate how some men can be above the law in western government - with or without a monarchy. We prefer that all the people, including the khalifah, be subject to the law.

Representative Government

The finer application of the concept of representation in government is a matter of considerable debate in western political philosophy. The first political use of the concept is commonly referred back to the seventeenth century as referring to: “one (legal) person acting on behalf of a group of people, as in the first and still the most influential discussion in political theory, chapter 16 of Hobbes's Leviathan.”The conceptual basis of the khalifah is also considered one of representation, though the logic by which the concept arises is different to the path taken by Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes's representative derives authority from an assumed human state of nature to become an absolute sovereign who predates law. The khalifah is considered a representative of the people in the sense of implementing pre-existing societal rules that were addressed to the society as a collective whole, but require embodiment in an authority tasked with implementation of these rules on behalf of the society.

The khalifah is appointed to his position according to the will of the people. The process is called baya in Arabic and can assume many styles including voting by ticking a card, text messaging or email. The consultative assembly (called majlis al-shura in Arabic) is the arm of state that will oversee the process whenever the position of khalifah becomes vacant.

Accountable Open Government

Linked closely to the concept that the khalifah is a representative of the people in adopting and implementing divine rules over the society is the concept of accountability. It is a right of the people to question or criticise the decisions of the ruler because he is a servant of the people ruling on their behalf. The widely quoted saying of the second khalifah, Umar ibn al-Khatab, with which he began his rule encapsulates his perception of ruling as securing the rights of all people without distinction: “by Allah, he that is weakest among you shall be in my sight the strongest, until I have vindicated for him his rights; but him that is strongest will I treat as the weakest, until he complies.” The Khilafah system does not permit corporate interests to hijack government at the expense of the interests of the people that it is meant to serve.
 
Life as a non-Muslim in the Caliphate


The Caliphate is a unique political system from the ideology of Islam that bears no resemblance to any of the Muslim Governments today. It is a government built upon a concept of citizenship regardless of ethnicity, gender or creed and is totally opposed to the oppression of any religious or ethnic grouping.

Allah (swt) says in the Holy Qur'an:

“O You who believe! Indeed We have created you from a single male and female and We have made you into nations and tribes so that you know each other, Verily the noblest among you in the sight of Allah is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold Allah is all knowing, all aware.”
[TMQ 49:13]
Non-Muslims have an honourable status in the Caliphate. They are referred to as dhimmi (people of contract), which means they are equal citizens with the Muslims and enjoy the full rights of citizenship. Unlike in Britain they are not given derogatory names like “ethnic minorities” or “immigrants”, that implies they are 2nd class citizens and not really welcome. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “Whoever harms a dhimmi has harmed me.”

He (saw) also said: “The one who kills a Mu'ahid (people with whom the State has treaties) without right he will not smell the fragrance of jannah (heaven) even if its smell was forty years travelling distance.” [Reported in the Hadith book Ahmed]

Imam Qarafi (Classical Islamic Scholar) summed up the responsibility of the Caliphate to the dhimmi when he said: “It is the responsibility of the Muslims to the People of the Dhimma to care for their weak, fulfil the needs of the poor, feed the hungry, provide clothes, address them politely, and even tolerate their harm even if it was from a neighbour, even though the Muslim would have an upper hand. The Muslims must also advise them sincerely on their affairs and protect them against anyone who tries to hurt them or their family, steal their wealth, or violates their rights.”

The rights of non-Muslims are enshrined in statutory Islamic Law (shariah) as detailed above, and cannot be reversed by legal precedent or the whims of any government. This provides stability and security to the non-Muslims allowing them to live their lives without worrying about losing their rights some time in the future. Contrast this to Britain where the Muslim community waits in fear of the new Anti-terror Legislation that will curtail their already limited rights. Governments and the courts can introduce draconian legislation at any time in the future in the name of combating terrorism and national security. An example of this is the ruling by the Court of Appeal in 2004 that allowed evidence obtained by torture abroad to be admissible in special terrorism trials. Some aspects of life under the Caliphate are discussed here.

The Government

The Caliph (head of state) and his government believe in Islam and their motivation for strictly adhering to the letter of the law is their belief in accountability for all their actions when they die. This belief will create trustworthy and responsible politicians, not politicians who say one thing and do something else. They are chosen for their merit rather than due to “political favours”. Having said this, members of the government are not divine and can make mistakes and can commit crimes. For this reason a strong and effective accountability process exists through an independent judicial court called the Unjust Acts Court (mahkamat muzalim), which has the power to impeach any government official including the Caliph if they breach their ruling contracts and commit injustice.

Consultation is one of the pillars of ruling and a House of Representatives (majlis ash-shura) will exist in the capital and all provinces of the Caliphate. They will consist of men and women from all religions and ethnic groupings within the state. Non-Muslim representatives will have guaranteed seats in the House, to raise any concerns their communities have. They will not be required to take any oath that contradicts their beliefs in order to become a member of the House. Their only requirement is to obey the rules of the House and the Speaker. Unlike in Democracy, this House of Representatives is not a legislature. The only resolutions passed by the House that are binding on the government, are those related to the practical implementation of government policy, and those related to removing government officials.

Unlike the institutional racism that is prevalent in the British Civil Service, civil servants in the Caliphate are chosen on the basis of merit rather than gender, race or creed. Non-Muslims are encouraged to join the civil service and bring their skills and expertise to aid the Islamic Government. Historically, the Jews after being expelled from Spain in the 15 th century, were welcomed to the Caliphate and contributed much to the state as they will do in the future. Jewish physicians from the school of Salanca were employed in the service of the Caliph, and in many places glass making and metalworking were Jewish monopolies. With their knowledge of foreign languages they were the greatest competitors of the Venetian traders. All this led the Ottoman Caliph Sultan Bajazet II, to say with reference to the expulsion of the Jews by Ferdinand, the Catholic King of Spain, “How can you call this Ferdinand ‘wise' - he who has impoverished his dominions in order to enrich mine?”

The Legal System

The Caliph does not have immunity from prosecution and nor do any of his Cabinet. If any of them commit a criminal offence they will be taken to court and tried before a judge. The judge applies the sentence without regard to their status or government position. Even the Caliph can be impeached and removed from office if he violated his ruling contract (baya).

The Caliphate cannot suspend habeas corpus by interning any of its citizens. It is has been reported on the authority of Abdullah ibn Zubayr in the hadith book Abu Dawood, “The Messenger of Allah has ordered that the two disputing parties should sit before a judge.” Therefore any citizen whether Muslim or non-Muslim must be brought before a judicial court and their case investigated by a judge.

The burden of proof required to convict someone of an offence in an Islamic Court is far higher than in Britain. The court does not accept circumstantial evidence as a legal proof, and only trustworthy witnesses, whether Muslim or non-Muslim are allowed to give testimony. Many miscarriages of justice have occurred in Britain due to flawed forensic evidence (Birmingham six trial) or due to convicted criminals giving testimony. Confessions are investigated to ensure they were not extracted under duress or torture. Britain currently allows evidence obtained through torture in foreign countries, as evidence in special terrorism trials.

The Presumption of Innocence exists in an Islamic Court and the onus is on the plaintiff to provide the evidence. This legal principle cannot be overturned by the government of the day, as Tony Blair is trying to do by introducing more summary offences. Narrated in the hadith book by Al-Baihaqqi, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said "It is the plaintiff who should provide the evidence, and the oath is due on the one who disapproves”.

Referring to judging between people of the book (Jews and Christians), Allah (swt) says in the Holy Qur'an:

“And if you judge, judge with justice between them. Verily, Allah loves those who act justly.” [TMQ 5:42]

All these legal principles are exemplified in the famous legal trial that took place between Caliph Ali and one of his Jewish citizens in the 7th century. The Jew stole a shield from Ali so he took the matter to court and brought his son as a witness. The judge ruled against Ali even though he was the head of state (Caliph), stating that a son cannot be a witness for a father in court. When the Jew witnessed such fairness he voluntarily confessed that he stole the shield and embraced Islam.

The Economy

The Caliphate's currency is based on the Gold Standard providing economic stability for domestic and international trade, as well as low inflation. There are no interest rates so wealth is created through investment as opposed to savings. This investment led economy where wealth is constantly circulating coupled with a stable currency will produce strong economic growth, and low unemployment.

Private companies cannot own natural resources such as oil and gas. These are owned by the people and managed by the government, with their revenues going to the Treasury (Bait ul-Mal). Revenue gained from natural resources must be used for the interests of the people, and the House of Representatives will advise the government on where the money is spent.

Taxation in the Caliphate is on excess wealth and not income, and there are no regressive taxes like VAT. The only taxes on companies are the agricultural land taxes (ushur and kharaj) that are a percentage of the agricultural produce or the land value. Non-agricultural companies do not pay this. Muslim owned companies will also pay the zakat tax, but non-Muslim companies are exempt from this.

Non-Muslim men must pay a nominal tax called Jizya that gives them full citizenship rights, exempting them from National Service and taxes specific to Muslims like zakat . Jizya is means tested and there are different bands for different levels of wealth. Caliph Omar imposed three bands for the Jizya tax - 4 dinars (£108) for the rich, 2 dinars (£54) for the middle class and 1 dinar (£27) for the poor. The Jizya tax rate is much lower rate than that of zakat , t herefore the tax burden of non-Muslims is lower than that of Muslims in the Caliphate.

The Caliphate does not have National Insurance to pay for health care, pensions and other state benefits. A modern efficient Health Service must be provided free of charge to the people. This includes free dental care, optician costs and prescriptions. There are no pensions or state benefits as such within the Caliphate. All pensioners, women, children, unemployed and those with disabilities must be provided for financially by their families. Only if they had no family or the family cannot provide for them will the government then intervene. The current pensions crisis facing Britain will therefore not exist.

Community Life

Non-Muslims will not be isolated in to ghettos, with poor housing and low government funding. Muslims and non-Muslims will live together side by side, as neighbours in the community. Neighbours have many rights over each other, designed to keep the home and community a place of peace and tranquillity. A place where children can play safely without fear of abuse. Nuisance Neighbours and yobs roaming the streets are a growing problem in Britain due to selfishness and individualism. Muslims do not hold these ideas, and instead believe in responsibility to their neighbours and community. It has been reported on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar and ‘Aishah in the hadith books Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "Jibril (Angel Gabriel) kept recommending treating neighbours with kindness until I thought he would assign them a share of inheritance".

People cannot distress their neighbours by playing loud music, growing high hedges, parking irresponsibly or even backbiting them. They must enquire about their neighbour's welfare and aid them as much as they can.

Anti-social behaviour on the streets is not tolerated and Inspectors (qadi hisbah) with the power to impose immediate sentences will patrol the neighbourhoods, accompanied by Police. Pubs and clubs that sell alcohol are prohibited and there is a strong punishment for those found drunk and disorderly on the streets. Non-Muslims however can drink and trade alcohol amongst themselves as long as it remains in their private homes and bars.

Religion

The Caliphate cannot force or pressurise any non-Muslim to become Muslim. Churches, Synagogues and Temples are all protected by the Caliphate. Those who follow a religion can practise their religion without interference or harassment from the police and authorities. The government will not threaten to close places of worship or spy on the worshippers and sermons as the British government is doing.

Historically, when the Caliphate was ruling Jerusalem, it protected the holiest Church in Christianity - The Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The keys to this church have been held for centuries by the Nusseibeh Muslim family who until today still open and close the doors on a daily basis.

Furthermore, Sir Thomas Arnold in his book 'The Call to Islam’ states: "We have never heard about any attempt to compel Non-Muslim parties to adopt Islam or about any organised persecution aiming at exterminating Christianity. If the Caliphs had chosen one of these plans, they would have wiped out Christianity as easily as what happened to Islam during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain; by the same method which Louis XIV followed to make Protestantism a creed whose followers were to be sentenced to death; or with the same ease of keeping the Jews away from Britain for a period of three hundred fifty years."

In September 2005 a proposal to allow Muslim Canadian citizens to use shariah for settling family disputes provoked outcry and protests, even though Canada has allowed Christians and Jews to settle family law matters in faith-based tribunals since 1991. The proposal was eventually thrown out citing Canada 's commitment to its secular principles. The Caliphate, unlike the intolerance of secular states, allows non-Muslims to have their own courts and judges to settle family law disputes and other matters related to their personal lives and religion. Sir Thomas Arnold in his book 'The Call to Islam' points out that under the Ottoman Sultans (Caliphs) the Christian Patriarch and the Grand Synod could decide all matters of faith and dogma without any interference of the State, something that was never the case under the previous Byzantine emperors.

International Relations

The Caliphate does not go to war based on lies and deceit. Its sole purpose in fighting a war is to remove injustice and bring a new system for the people to live under. Although America and Britain cite the same objectives in Iraq the reality is far from this. Their use of depleted uranium, torturing and killing of civilians and imposition of another corrupt system would never happen with the Caliphate. Historically the Caliphate won the hearts and minds of the people on the lands it occupied. It never mistreated them and as opposed to an Empire, it didn't impoverish them in order to enrich the capital.

In his book “Kitab Al-Kharaj” Abu Yusuf gives the following report: “After getting on peaceful terms with the people of Syria and collecting the dues of the Jizya and the Kharaj , news reached Abu ‘Ubeida that the Byzantines had amassed their troops to attack him. The effect of this was great on Abu ‘Ubeida and the Muslims. He sent messages to the rulers of cities with whose citizens he had made peace, asking them to return to their subjects the paid dues of the Jizya and Kharaj with an instruction to tell them: ‘We hereby return to you the money you have paid us, because of the news of the enemy troops amassed to attack us, but, if God grants us victory against the enemy, we will keep up to the promise and covenant between us.' When this was delivered to the dhimmi and their money returned to them, they told the Muslims: ‘May God bring you back to us and grant you victory over them!'”

The Caliphate will encourage non-Muslims from other countries to visit it, study in its universities and conduct trade. Economic and cultural treaties will be signed to facilitate this. Any non-Muslim visiting the Caliphate from a country that the Caliphate has a treaty with, can enter without the need for a visa. They are called a Mu'ahid and have full protection under the state similar to the dhimmi . Historically scholars and scientists from Europe flocked to the Caliphate and studied in the universities of Cordoba, Cairo and Baghdad.

The Caliphate's army must follow strict rules of engagement when fighting war (jihad). The soldiers do not fight the enemy out of anger or hatred, but to please their creator – Allah. Hence, atrocities like those committed at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq or Srebrenica in Bosnia, will not happen under a Caliphate. In the Battle of Khandaq 627CE, Ali (who later became a Caliph) was about to kill one of the enemy soldiers when the soldier spat in his face. Instead of killing him, Ali lowered his sword because he didn't want to kill him out of anger. This is an example of the high values held by soldiers in the Caliphate's army.

Non-Muslims are not obliged to do National Service, although they can join the Armed Forces if they wish. In the event of war it is the Muslims responsibility to fight and protect the non-Muslims from any harm.

Torturing anyone including prisoners of war is absolutely prohibited, and the perpetrators will face a severe punishment. Any evidence obtained via torture whether at home or abroad is not legally admissible in an Islamic Court.

The Intelligence Services and Police within the Caliphate cannot spy on Muslim or non-Muslim citizens. Phone tapping of their home and mobile phones is prohibited and is not admissible in an Islamic Court.
 
Currency of the Caliphate


The Islamic State has two currencies operating together called the gold and silver standards. Although the practical money used by the people in day to day transactions will be notes, coins and debit cards, it will be 100% backed by either gold or silver. This has the benefit of bringing economic stability to domestic and international trade as well as minimising currency speculation. Operating two currencies at once will balance out any dramatic changes in the value of either gold or silver.

The Judiciary (Al-Qadah)


All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and they must be brought before a judge who will pass judgment on their dispute. Defendants cannot be mistreated and interned without trial by suspending Habeous Corpus as is happening in Britain.



http://www.caliphate.co.uk/caliphate/qudah.htm
 
The Department of Foreign Affairs (Da'irat ul-Kharijiyah)


A new international organisation will be created by the Caliphate called the "International Organization for Cooperation (IOC) ". The IOC unlike the UN will not be dominated by colonial nations with the right of veto that impose sanctions and laws on weaker nations. The IOC will be a body that promotes dialogue and cooperation between states on issues such as Poverty, Environment and Trade. This is similar to the Pre-Islamic Arab alliance called "Hilf Al-Fudul " that the Prophet (saw) praised.

I've read countless articles here on PFF claiming that the establishment of the Khilafah is going to be the miracle solution for the current plight of Pakistan and muslims in general. I would like to ask the pro-Khilafah posters to answer a few questions.

1. Isn't the basic idea of the Khilafah against the concept of Pakistan as a sovereign nation? Does the pro-Khilafah movement intend to establish the Khilafah through violent revolution? Will Pakistan's interest be held first? Or will Pakistan the nation become irrelevant? Whose interest will be held up first? Pakistanis or muslims under plight thousands of miles away?


2. How do you intend to select your leadership if not through elections? Appointment via group of Muftis? What gives these Muftis legitimate right to represent the wishes of the masses if they are not going to be elected?

3. Will Shariah law be established? Under whose interpretation? What about the minority non muslims in Pakistan?

1. Pak. exists solely to serve the people, if it can be subsumed into a larger entity that benefits the people of Pak. then indeed the state should be diluted. Is this idea revolutionary? Look at the E.U. mate, look at the states of the U.S. Are their people not better served by delegating authority to a higher level of government in return for free trade, economies of scale and reduction in defense expenditure? Has the E.U. destroyed France or Germany or Britian? I would argue it has made them stronger.

The formation of an Economic Union (and hopefully political) is not simply a redistribution of the cake, a union increases the size of the cake because of increasing returns in production, because of dynamic and static increases in GDP because of free movment of people, labour and capital and ideas. Pak. will give up a little but gain more than it loses. For e.g. Punjab loses some soverignity being part of Pak. and yet it gains much more from these other factors.

2. Leadership right now is not chosen by elections, it cant be worse than what exists.

3. I would defer from the other 'pro camp' in this regard. The only workable solution is for social choice to be made at a lower level, every state would be free to choose social policy that is if Sharia law, what interpretation and protection of minorities bill.
 
I am pro-unity... not necessarily a caliphate. I want democracy and secularism to continue, but with a unity amongst muslim states since they can have a singly unifying agenda (progress and survival).

Agenda should not be to swoop over the world or enjoy superiority over people of other faiths.
 
Keep the laws and the religion separate

Muslims practice Islam. Muslims can vote for people that secure their interest.

why should they be seperate?

Isnt Islam the way of life? shouldnt muslims be judged on Islamic laws like jews are judged under jewish laws in Israel?

Only muslim can secure muslim's interest
 
how can muslims be united under seclarism? its an oxymoron.

True, in islam there is no seperation between religion and state. Only western ideologies want to impose this on muslim nations but they will never learn the mind set of muslim (iraq)

Islam itself is a secular religion, it was built on the basis of secularism unlike other religions to unify the people of the world under 1 belief and god. Islam has currently the best govermental system (sha'riah) but in the west it is to propagated by claims such as right of women etc... (this is lie) If you look at it closely democracy's platform come from the Shar'iah

But today we have seen that shar'iah, feudilism, communism, and democracy have all failed. As marxist always said, "with a comming of a new idealogy, there will be a coming of a new conflict"
 
Ideologically Pakistan today stands in the middle of nowhere, notwithstanding the illusive gains of the religious party’s alliance (MMA) and Musharraf’s claim to practicing “enlightened moderation.” Both the Muslims’ promise to establish the Deen and the secularists’ dream to fully secularise Pakistan remain unfulfilled.

It is as simple as this, whosoever — Jews, Christians, or Muslims — established the secular state after having received the Divine Law through the Torah, Psalms, Gospel and Qur’an, would be guilty of having committed Kufr, Dhulm and Fisq! Casting vote in favour of any party that sustains secular systems and laws imply that the voter is following his Party and his Government into Shirk, Kufr, .
 
It is a way of life but when we try to islamize the way of life we get into ritualism and practices and enforcement of those practices and rituals. If you study it at the core, Islam won't disagree with secularism either. Islam would mean fair and honest laws granting equal rights for all and equal citizenship.

Secuarlism and Islam aren't at odds with each other. Except of course the Saudi or Taliban version of Islamic rule isn't the right way of life and hence at odds with Islam and Secularism.
