MashaAllah! Quite an intriguing talk by Dr. Wahid! For years as a teenager I've always wondered why there was a downfall from the golden era in Islam to our todays time and how do we make Islam the superior Ideology again in our world, so that we lead mankind from darkness to light. I think one podcast or one book is not enough to delve in this topic. It should be made a global discussion amongst the whole of the Ummah.

Thanks Paul. Good topic but quite complex. We have to differentiate between the aims of the khelafa and the khelafa itself as a form of governance. We need to establish the goals ( which include protection of souls, wealth, religion etc) but there is no obligation for the form, this can change with time. Similar to that would be choosing the leader for example. For your knowledge each of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) successor came through a different political process, and that's the flexibility of Islam. Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi has very good views on this, I do recommend it.

Khilafah returning is a matter of time, not a matter of possibility. It is prophesized by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and it is inevitable to return, just as it was inevitable for the bare foot Arabs to defeat the Persian and Roman empires. The world is changing at a rapid pace, talks of Gold Standard coming back is a reality today... something unthinkable a few years ago. When Allah decides to bless us with Khilafah, He will facilitate it while people and naysayers watch in amazement and awe. Only those who doubt the might of Allah may doubt and wonder HOW IS IT POSSIBLE? If we live long enough, inshaAllah we will see it come about right before our eyes. May Allah make us and our children, of those who live in the justice of Khilafah, or atleast among those who live in trying to bring it back.

[@AA-ui2cq]

I totally agree with the initial introduction, but revisiting many hadiths and verses to re-define Islam from political ideology is totally unacceptable and creates a lot of problems. The biggest problem is missing the true purpose of life of worshipping Allah in a broad prospective, and instead pushes the Muslims in endless nonsense conflicts (for example the online conflicts and ground battles and wars between Mudkhalis and Muslim Brothers) The biggest argument against the political innovative redefining Islam is the same story that the guest mentioned when the prophet’s uncle came and he shared the pagans’ offer, one of them to appoint the prophet as a ruler over them, but the prophet peace be upon him declined and instead, he asked them to declare the oneness of Allah One of the best books that refutes the political redefinition of Islam is: “Political interpretation of Islam” by Abu Alhassan Ali Alhassan Alnadawi

[@djamaluddin]

Please provide website to download the book thanks bro. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan did do a book with that title.

[@silentone6966]

@A A Good point, but with reg to your comment: "when the prophet’s uncle came and he shared the pagans’ offer, one of them to appoint the prophet as a ruler over them, but the prophet peace be upon him declined and instead, he asked them to declare the oneness of Allah".. this clearly shows that you cannot join politics of BATIL/KUFR even if you're made the MP/President/Prime Minister... rather you continue working until you can live in Islam and then you can join the politics of Islam (i.e.: Madinah/Khilafah Rashidah)... on the contrary today we have 'politicians' jumping at the chance to be MPs or Ministers in the KUFR system... so this quote applies more to them, these politicians are the ones 'accepting the crown from the Quraish tribes'... instead of working to establish a Madinah/Islamic Polity. Separating politics from Islam is from Secularism & Liberalism, Islam is whole and comprehensive deen/way of life, not a mere recipe for spirituality or personal life. Allah gave us a full way of life/deen which includes how to live as a society, and how to elect our ruler, and how to account the rulers as demonstrated by the Khulafah Rashideen, and their citizens.

Why does Abdul Wahid rant against LGBT when he himself advises them and gives sexual health advice them as a GP? Why does Jamal Harwood do consultancy work for credit suisse, RBS when he rants about the kufr system of capitalism?

@@silentone6966 I totally agree. That’s why I agree with the introduction. That’s why I believe Muslims abandoning Islam (e.g., by supporting LG#BT or calling Shari’a is barbaric) to join the Congress or the government does not benefit Muslims or themselves. But looking at the situation of Muslims today, who should appoint the Khalifa and where? How much damage to the community will occur and does the benefit outweigh the damage? Deciding on that requires scholars that spent their life learning Fiqh and at the same time, they have deep understanding to the community situation and distribution of power The best set of action for us nowadays, is to learn our religion and be active in da’wa (including enjoining good and forbidding evil with complete knowledge and wisdom) only for the sake of Allah not for money, fame or position

Once again, a very informative and stimulating talk. Thank you. As is recognized in the talk, democracy is the dominant governing principle currently. Democracy is a process. It is based on the notion that people will always disagree on right and wrong, good and poor policy. Democracy is set up as a dispute resolution mechanism. I would like to know more about process of a caliphate system that would replace democracy. How is a caliph chosen and recalled? Most of what is described here resembles the Catholic Church with its Pope, simply called the Caliph. The wold has experienced a Holy Roman Emperor already.

[@MohammadAlmansouri]

We have the concept of Shura Shura can for example take the form of a council or a referendum. The Quran encourages Muslims to decide their affairs in consultation with each other. Wikipedia The word shūrā provides the title of the 42nd surah of the Qurʾān, in which believers are exhorted to conduct their affairs “by mutual consultation.” Britannica The main importance of the Shura lies in protecting the society from wrong decisions. The consultation provides the opportunity to listen to the opinions of the people of knowledge, wisdom and experience, and to discuss the opinions put forward to correct and develop flaws in them. It also provides the opportunity to choose opinions and suggestions that provide a greater good for the community. In counseling, rise above orders and redress thoughts, especially for those with experience. (translated) and even women (from 14th centuries ago) and even kids are associated with this process.

Salaam, the followers of Ahlul Bayt.. the "shia" have a very different perspective of early Islamic history. There were 3 wars among the Muslims very shortly after the Prophey alayhi salaam left this world and the holy Prophet's grandson was brutally kill just a half century after he was gone. These events should not be ignored but analyzed for their tragic and beautiful aspects. A great series is -- In Search of Orthodox Islam - Br. Khalil Jaffer-- if you're interested in learning more and looking at a different interpretation on how/why Muslims have come to their current position in the world ethically, spiritually, politically .. true Leadership - in all realms- in this world is chosen by The Most High Allah

[@DwayneSMG]

Islam should not, and ought not be merged with the suffix 'ic'! Islamic Politics cannot be a concept or subcategory within the political sphere. By doing so, we are ascribing Islam as an adjective to the noun politics; an intangible concept. Islamic Politics should be السياسة في الإسلام Politics of Islam. It may carry a better meaning that is parallel with what Abdul Wahid's is conveying. Paul Williams, the theology platform brilliant host, introduces in 05:43 - 07:22, an intelligent reasoning for why we're negating such linguistic shortcoming. Islam is not an adjective to attribute with other concepts and philosophies. In Arabic, the word siyasa-politics differs from the English definition. Its linguistic meaning refers to, "doing something with the intention of rectifying things.” It also conveys the following: upbringing and directing, issuing orders, taking care of something, and supervising or overseeing things. By extrapolating and following the word siyasa-politics, we can realize that it indicates the shepherd and the subjects, the imam, the sultan and the guardian, the pledge of allegiance, the commandment of righteousness, and forbiddance of atrocity. We realize that the concept of siyasa-politics within Islam’s school of thought is closest to its linguistic meaning. Hence, in Islam, the understanding of the word siyasa-politics involves every action related towards the best interest of a nation. Whether by managing all its affairs, from economic, social, educational, and state administration. With a centralized focus on the activities of individuals, the judiciary system, managing foreign relations, defending the nation, faith and homelands... etc. So, we affirm that the government of a nation is strictly responsible for its peoples' welfare. Thus we understand that the meaning of siyasa-politics is not confined to an 'abstract art of governance,' and it is not ‘a tool of class domination' nor it is ‘the art of careerism.' Rather, it is 'caring for the nation’s affairs' with the political responsibility remaining in place through the duty of enjoining good and forbidding atrocity in a sufficient manner. It is clear that care and concern for the nation’s affairs and best interests include the art of governance, the functions of the political authority, and the political activities of the nation, including the struggle and revolution against an unjust ruler. In essence, the concept of siyasa-politics in Islam expands, to include everything that is concerned with the affairs of the nation and its best interests. In other words, siyasa-politics is an action undertaken by the nation, and the apparatus of power, in order to achieve the basic objectives of the message of Islam, which jurists summarized as “bringing utility and preventing corruption.”

We can't let people define concepts based only on their experiences of it. Language is supposed to be a gradual guide. You might start with a concept representing something unpleasant, based on your arbitrary conditions. But that doesn't give anyone the right to condemn language, and concept to their limited experience of apportion.. We grow to often appropriate concepts to greater comprehensive understanding. The word "theocracy" shouldn't be a word, or concept anyone shy away from. The rule (ocracy) of (theos) God/ the divine. IS what faith/ religion is supposed to be all about. The question shouldn't be how we are somehow a third alternative to theocracy, and Secularism.. The question should be how to establish a theocracy that is ACTUALLY theocratic.. That's what we monotheists should pay attention to, and be able to present to the world. That's supposed to be what islamic politics is all about. And yes, we haven't gotten to the point of establishing procedures/ and institutions that can help achieve that. ✍️ Because magical thinking~ " If we all know sharia well, and practice it, the government will magically decide to do that too. ✍️ Because arrogant denile~ Like every "rightly + guided" khalif.. Who were all literally "guided" only by their own opinion, that 😂 "rightly" differed from his former and latter "rightly" + "guided" kaliph.. So they prosided over unending fitnah.. JUST LIKE US.. Cause we think we are "guided", and we are NOT (yet, cause we haven't put in the actual intellectual work yet).. And we think everyone is "right" no matter how different their opinions are.. # Fitnah We need to tone down the blind arrogance, and granted truth.. And we need to GET REAL. Not a single khilafa sustainably oversaw it's khalifs.. Not a single khalifa EVER gained ligitimacy by "the whole Ummah agreeing".. ALL KHALAFAS were born on battle fields... And there are REASONS for all that.. That are why AlLah has us on hold.. SO WE CAN THINK/ LEARN.. The west is RIGHT about some things.. One thing.. Is that your institutional architecture has to be how you set your principles up to work.. NOT MAGICAL THINKING, OR DEPENDING ON HOW ZEALOUS INDIVIDUALS OR SOCIETIES CAN GET.. 🤷‍♂️ Wake up!

I can recite many Hadiths that support my view so can Hizb Ut-Tahrir and everyone interpret the Hadiths or historical events his way. But if you take Hadiths and Islamic history from Hizb Ut-Tahrir you will be left with a political movement made to convince Muslims to rebel against their rulers as if its is the only solution to bring unity to the Muslims and spread justice in the world. But the most important question is who or what will replace the rulers? will the people unite and elect the best among them to become their ruler or will they turn against each other and turn their country into a war zone for the grab hold of the leadership or maybe they will give it to the one who started it all Hizb Ut-Tahrir.

Even though we love to have a leader like Abu Baker there will be no one like him, maybe close to him but not the same. Through the history the Islamic empire did prosper even under a bad leaders but what really caused it to fall is the division among the Muslims themselves when they allowed the fitnah to spread among them.

I find it interesting that Muslim scholars in the west are quick to repeat western governments political talking points. One example is of the term “regime” that was widely used by western media to define the Syrian government or Islamic republic of Iran, and our scholars in the west have no issue pointing out said governments but have never heard them criticize Saudi royalty and their genocide in Yemen and how they in one way or another allow for the continuation of the genocide of Palestinians. I’ve found that our Shia brothers have been more involved in the bloody process of the liberation of the holy land, and if we as an ummah are to make a caliphate a reality it will definitely involve Palestine as it is home to the Abrahamic religions. Really hope Paul brings in more Shia brothers on, love our brother Paul’s work and can’t wait to see what else he has in store for us who listen.

From the outset the Messenger (saw), akin to all messengers, called for servitude of Allah via establishing khilafah and the sharia. "Indeed Pharaoh exalted himself in the land, factionalising its people, oppressing one group, slaughtering their sons and sparing their women. Truly he was corrupt. And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors..." (28:4-6) The Messenger (saw) spoke to his tribe at the banquet in year one and everyone left abruptly after eating with Abu Lahab responding by saying: "These are your uncles and cousins, speak to the point, but first of all you have got to know that your kinspeople do not have the power to withstand all the Arabs and I am the most fitting person to stop you. ... Verily, I have never heard of anyone who has incurred more harm on his kinspeople than you." The Messenger kept silent and said nothing in that meeting. (Fiqh al-Seerah, pp. 77) He invited a second time and said: "A leader does not lie to his family. By Allah, besides Whom there is no other god, I am Allah's Messenger." (Fiqh al-Seerah, p. 77-78) "Then he said, 'Banu Abd al-Muttalib, I have been sent to all men in general and to you in particular. Now that you have seen what you have seen, which of you will swear an oath of allegiance (bayah) to me to become my brother, my companion and my inheritor?"

All good and fine until the end he said Hizbul Tahrir and all the Muslim world are ruled by open Kuffur. 🤨

[@khanmohammad8615]

So Sisi of Egypt, MBS of Saudi and Erdoğan of Turkey implement and rule by Islam?

You pronounce his name wrong. No such thing as abdulwaheed. It’s abdulwaahid. Alwaahid is one of Allah’s names. Not Alwaheed!! Such a name is not any of Allah’s.

Hizbut tahrir is banned in Malaysia. Their reason is that HT holds some extreme and deviant teachings.

[@silentone6966]

Islam came as 'Strange' and will return as 'Strange', glad tidings to the 'Strangers', ... anything that challenges evil will be labeled as 'extremist' by evil... Islam does not take definitions of good and evil from Obama, Biden, Sisi, or MBS, or Boris Johnson. Gandhi and Nelson Mandela were once called Terrorists by British colonizers in India, and South African apartheid state, so what.

[@AmirKhan-pm8cb]

The Hizb do not hold deviant teachings, they aim to bring a khalifah back, which is a Nobel work, which all Muslims agree upon. The only thing deviant thing is having a nationalistic state, which has no basis in Islam.

[@A.--.]

Regarding the Caliphate I would like to share the opinion I have reached so far (any it may be wrong or changed if new data comes in). The Caliphate was a Miracle. It can NEVER happen without a Prophet. The next one will be when Prophet Jesus comes. The last one was when Prophet Muhammad came. The one before that was when Prophet Dawood came and so on all the way to Adam. Not all Prophets could established the Caliphate.

[@LowlierThanThow]

Since I was teenager many, many moons ago, Hizb Tahrir has been remarkably consistent in churning out the most eminently unqualified spokespeople, who unfortunately do not understand Islam, except through the lens of political aggrievance. I'm not going to waste time elaborating on this point, but simply ask 'Dr Wahid' what his Islamic qualifications are as the only ones he mentioned are, his dad's friend teaching him Quran and the Encyclopedia Britannica. Yet he sits there, pulling out the trope about how 'the scholars don't talk about this'; a huge strawman fallacy, slander against the 'ulema, ego boost to himself and proof that he has never sat at the feet of scholars. Br Paul, don't give these people any publicity, I thought they had been banned anyway.

Hey paul Not to be rude brother but have you considered changing your name from Paul because it has a bad connotation to Paul of tzarsis who literally ruined and corropted christianity. I am just saying this out of love please dont take it personally Thanks

[@AK_UK_]

Paul - you should never of given this family and community breaking cult a platform to speak. HT have a history that goes back to 90s in the UK when Omar Bakri was their chief. They won't detail their mischief to reverts like you. Just because they talk about khilafah doesn't mean they're upon haqq. You didn't press them hard on: 1. Why are they in the UK if they want khilafah in the Muslim world? - why don't they make hijra esp in a country they've previously classed as darul harb. 2. Why they have a hidden Imam (yes, you read that correctly). He is an asylum seeker in europe and although he's happy asking others to do khurooj and accuse scholars of selling out, he's not actually happy to do anything himself. He won't even show his face even though their are no threats against him! 3. Why this so called political party has no record or accountability of donations the cult has received from its members (who often donate their savings). Where have these huge sums gone and why do HT silence their members from asking? 3. Despite HT claiming they're a threat to western interests, how comes their leaders always gain asylum, including the families of their leaders (eg the son of their cult founder - zindeeq taqiudeen nabahani - was based in Holland and used to come east London). Despite the hostility of some western politicians towards the Muslim community, they've never been banned - why? Because HT have always been useful western pawns to divide the Muslims - they caused havoc from 90's to 00's. They become so extreme that they were even doing takfir over Morsi, Imran Khan etc 4. They weren't pressed on Omar Bakri being their leader who they regarded as a mujtahid! Why did Omar Bakri accuse them of being spies and HT turned on him and said he was a spy! 5. Why did they ask Khomeni (despite working with Israel) to be the caliph of the Muslims! (yes, you read correct). They EVEN SAID he could keep the his extreme beliefs (which involved claiming Ali controlled the universe and that sahabah are kufffar). 6. Why they have a track record of supporting "hezbollah" terrorists. 7. Why their was a wall of silence against Maajid Nawaz and quilliam . They never officially condemned him... Why? 🙂 Paul - seems you're very thoughtful. You're forthright against extremists, but you've been hoodwinked here hook line and sinker!

[@shoislam2729]

Although there are some legitimate concerns you've raised here, some of your statements here are completely false.

[@AK_UK_]

@@shoislam2729 like what?

[@shoislam2729]

@@AK_UK_ let's take your first point, they have many of their members in the Muslim world. Due to various reasons some have moved to western countries due to economic, family, and other reasons, just like so many other Muslims. Or do you think those are not justifiable reasons?

[@AK_UK_]

@@shoislam2729 But what was false? Yes, HT have members in the Muslim world -so do Ahmadiyyah? So what? HT have zero influence. Look at the political events in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan etc HT can only dream of having the influence as others do. This is why their leaders have deserter their positions in Muslim countries and run off to Australia, America, UK etc with their tail between their legs. No, I don't think it's right that people are calling for khilafah in the Muslim world and then run off from their obligations to lands they class as darul harb. Worse off, they're encouraging others to do khurooj whilst their leaders reside in the West and protected by those governments... I wonder why? 🙂 Muslims have established themselves in the West via mainly economic migration - but HT's goal isn't economics migration, its to establish khilafah in the Muslim. They're 2 seperate things. If you want to establish a fruit business, do you go to the Mediterranean or the Antarctic? 🙂

[@shoislam2729]

@@AK_UK_ This is not about HT's influence in the Muslim world, arguably you may be right on that at the moment. This is about being accurate about what you say about a group of Muslims. So are ALL HT leaders residing in Western countries? I don't think that is the case, but please correct me if I am wrong with evidence.
