What is the role of the khaleefah of the Muslims?.

In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Praise be to Allaah.




Al-Maawirdi said, describing the tasks that the imam or ruler is obliged to do:

There are ten things that he is obliged to do that have to do with public affairs:

1 – He must preserve the religion according to its established bases and that on which the salaf of the ummah was unanimously agreed. If an innovator or deviant or one who is confused about some issue emerges, he has to explain the proof to him and tell him what is correct, and deal with him according to the set rights and punishments so that the religion will be protected against being undermined and the ummah will be prevented from deviance.

2 – He must judge between disputing parties and put an end to arguments so that justice and fairness will prevail, aggressors will not get carried away and no person who is wronged will feel helpless.

3 – He must guarantee public safety and security and protect the women and children of the ummah so that people can go about their business and travel around in safety, with no danger to their persons or their wealth.

4 – He must carry out hadd punishments so that the sacred limits of Allaah will not be transgressed and so that the rights of His slaves will be protected.

5 – He must reinforce the borders with equipment and forces so that the enemy will not find any opportunity to violate the borders of the Muslims or shed their blood or the blood of non-Muslims living under the protection of the Islamic state.

6 – He must strive in jihad against those who stubbornly reject Islam after being called to it, until they become Muslim or agree to live under Muslim protection and pay jizyah, so that the rights of Allaah will be fulfilled and His religion will prevail over all others.

7 – He must collect zakaah and charity money in the manner enjoined by the texts and scholarly consensus, without causing fear or being unjust.

8 – He must work out what benefits etc are to be given to those who deserve them from the treasury of the Islamic state (bayt al-maal), without being either extravagant or stingy; he must pay them on time, neither early nor late.

9 – He must appoint people who are honest and sincere to different positions, so that things will be done efficiently and wealth will be kept with trustworthy people.

10 – He should supervise matters directly himself, and check on things so that the ummah will be led in a proper manner. He should not rely on delegating to others because he is too busy indulging in physical pleasures or worship, for he may end up delegating to a supposedly trustworthy person who then betrays him, or a supposedly sincere person who then cheats him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O Dawood (David)! Verily, We have placed you as a successor on the earth; so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire * for it will mislead you from the path of Allaah”
[Saad 38:26]

Allaah did not allow him to delegate to others without supervising them or excuse him from that; He even described that as misguidance. Even though these are the duties of the khaleefah as stated in religion, these are also the duties of everyone who has anyone under his care. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.”

If the imam fulfils the rights of the ummah that we have mentioned above, then he has discharged his duty towards Allaah and to them, and so he is owed the two duties of obedience and support, unless he changes.

Islam Q&A

Real change - The Khilafah's establishment will mark the end of America's agent rulers

Press Release

Real change - The Khilafah's establishment will mark the end of America's agent rulers
Hizb ut-Tahrir will hold country wide Khilafah Rallies on Friday 5th November
On Friday, 5th of November 2010, Hizb ut-Tahrir will hold Khilafah rallies across the country. These rallies will be held under the title of Real change - The Khilafah's establishment will mark the end of America's agent rulers.
The purpose of these rallies is to make the Ummah aware about the real change that will actually bring them out from darkness in to light. Today the talk of ‘change' is on every tongue since the capitalist system imposed upon the country through civil and military leaders, for the past sixty three years, has miserably failed to bring any betterment to the country. Load-sheding of electricity and gas has plunged peoples lives into severe darkness, prices of basic food items have soared to an extent that now more than fifty million people in Pakistan are forced to sleep hungry, the country has been pushed further in to a debt trap and Pakistan has been changed to an American garrison. The irony is that all this is happening in a country which is a nuclear power and has the world's seventh largest army.
Every ruler enforced the capitalist system with full enthusiasm. Whenever the resentment of the people against the ruler came to a level that they could not implement the policies of their western masters, these kaffir imperialists simply sacrificed that agent ruler.
Subsequently they brought a new agent ruler through elections or military coup to save the imperialist system in Pakistan. This is why people have completely lost faith in the current system and all those leaders who are ready to join this kufr system.
This imperialist system can not be reformed and real change cannot take place through this system. Only the Khilafah will bring real change because the Khilafah is a system which is based upon the commands of Allah the All Mighty and this system does not abandon its people for the whims and desires of a few individuals. That is why this system liberates man from the slavery of man and liberates humanity from oppression.
Therefore in order to educate the masses of the real change, the Hizb has announced that it will hold rallies across the country on 5th November 2010. Through these rallies people will be informed that the ‘real change' is only possible through the establishment of Khilafah. The Khilafah will sever the NATO supply-line within hours of its establishment. It will suffocate America by joining hands with the people of the Tribal areas and Baluchistan. Oil, gas, electricity power plants, gold, copper, coal and other minerals will be declared public property. Payment of money against interest based loans will be stopped. Unjust taxes like income tax and sales tax will be abolished and Islamic laws of revenue such as Kharaj, Usher and Zakat will be implemented and the Khilafah will work day and night to bring in its fold all the Muslim countries and then it will emerge as the greatest power of the world.
The Hizb appeals to the media, sincere people in political parties, Ullema, lawyers, thinkers and the people in general that they must warn the Ummah about the repeated treachery being committed under the name of ‘change' and guide the Ummah to the real change which is the establishement of the Khilafah.
