You talk about “Islamic State” and I am talking about “Khalafah”. If there is a difference between both please mention it.

Bayah is not the requirement to establish a Khalifah. Bayah you are talking about is one sided action. Please read the Aahadith once again and you will see that it was people who were doing Bayah, it was not the requirement of Khalifah/Leader/or Imam to confirm, approve, authorize his leadership from people with the help of process of Bayah. His leadership/Khalafah/or Imamat does not become invalid, unauthorized or unapproved even if a all people refuse to do his bayah; he will still be a leader because this title is not from people its from Allah. But if you think Bayah it required, its not for Khalafah. You can say its for the satisfaction of those people who are following him. They want to pledge themselves for their own sake because they want to get reward of it; its their(people’s) duty to recognize him(khalifah) and give him oath of allegiance. But if they don’t give him oath of allegiance it will not hurt khalifah by any mean. He will still be a Khalifah. Allah will remove all the blessing from people by doing this act. So the bottomline is “Bayah is not the requirement to establish a Khalifah.”

There is no difference between islamic state or khilafah its same meaning only difference khilafah is the accurate description mentioned in many hadiths.

Bayah how can it be one sided action, are you giving bayah to yourself this is silly? you giving bayah to somebody correct its offer and acceptance its a binding contract this is very well known if you dont take my word it is ok ask any imam or research a good book on subject of bayah to know this.

Secondly a ruler cannot appoint himself to rule over the Muslims without receiving the bayah. Nor can the Muslims lead their lives without giving the bayah to a ruler to rule over them. Hence Islam has not only defined a permanent contract between the ruler and his subjects, but also made the giving of the bayah obligatory on all Muslims this is furthur inhanced by the hadith narrated by [muslim] “Whoever dies while there was no allegiance on his neck dies a death of the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah).”
