Re: Bangladesh amends war crimes law, mulls banning Islamists
Oh really!!! My ignorance!!! I never knew that having a caliph is a fard in Islam. Akhi, plz let me know which verse of holy quran commands us to have a caliph. JazakALLAH in advance.
Evidence for Muslims is not just quran majority of muslims evidence is also to be found in the sunnah of the prophet (saw) which we know as the authenticated hadiths.
now onto your question:
"And rule between them by that which Allah revealed to you, and do not follow their vain desires away from the truth which came to you". [TMQ 5:48]
"Indeed, we have revealed to you the book with the truth so that you may rule between mankind by that which Allah has shown you" (TMQ 4:105).
2 ayahs of the many in the quran prove muslims must establish allah(swt) ruling system.
''The One who dies without an Imam he dies the death of Jahiliyyah''. Reported on the authority of 'Umar by at-Tabarani and Abu Nu'aym.
imam in this hadith means the islamic ruler of the muslim i.e caliph
Imam Muslim narrated from Abdullah bin 'Umar who said that the Prophet (saw) said, "One who dies without having bound himself by an oath of allegiance (to a Khalifah) will die the death of one belonging to the days of ignorance"
Imam an-Nawawi (rh.a.) said, ""(The scholars) consented that it is an obligation upon the Muslims to select a Khaleefah".
Imam Muslim narrated the Prophet (SAW) that he said: "The Prophets used to rule Bani Israel. Whenever a prophet died another prophet succeeded him, but there will be no prophets after me; instead there will be Khulafaa' (Khalifahs) and they will number many". They asked: what then do you order us? He said:** "fulfill allegiance to them one after the other. Give them their dues. Verily Allah will ask them about what he entrusted them with".**
one more evidence which describes perfectly what happens without a caliphate. Today this is exactly our situation.
Imaam al-Ghazali (rh.a.) describing what is situaton without a caliphate "The judges will be suspeneded, the Wilayaat will be nullified, ... the decrees of those in authority will not be executed and all the people will be on the verge of Haraam".
after these couple of examples there is no doubt muslim must have an islamic ruling system over them and they must have one muslim ruler which is called the caliph.
