Response to Yasir Qadhi & Dr. Hatem al-Haj

Is Khilafah (establishing a Caliphate) even realistic in today's world? Can Muslims ever unite again?
In this episode, Sheikh Usta takes a close look at Yasir Qadhi and Dr Hatem al-Haj's latest video to answer some misconceptions about Khilafah.

Imagine someone talking with such negativity and polemics about any other fard in Islam - like hajj, prayers, burying the dead, collecting & distributing the zakat to the poor, etc. "Oh, hajj is desirable if you're able to", "if it's practical to bury the dead that's great, but rather than making the end goal to have the body in the ground, we should aim for Allah's pleasure" - this is the kind of gibberish when people downplay the fardiyah of khilafa! It's mind-blowing that we've reduced Islam to just personal rituals; there is a necessity for ulema like Sh. Usta and others to squash down such ridiculous polemics. May Allah bless such ulema and those who commit to Islam like those mentioned in the hadith about the ones who are like ones holding onto burning coal.

Isn't Islam still technically a capitalist religion? It most closely resembles what we refer to as a social democracy, no? Which in of itself is still capitalism, just obviously with a very different implementation than that of the US for example

[@Hashir198]

@@mortarman83095 No you cant say its capitalist. There may be some overlaps but not many. The capitalist world view doesnt care about the well being of others in the pursuit of making money; thats why you see such huge discrepancies between the rich and the poor today. Islam has a moral basis for its laws. Capitalism doesnt care abt morality. And a clear example is interest; which is allowed in capitalism and is not in Islam. Also Islam prioritizes well being of others over money. Another example is how Oil and water are public property, not private.

[@mortarman83095]

@@Hashir198 I'm aware of the fact that Islam bans compound interest and prioritizes well being over money, but that doesn't have to do with capitalism per se, just that it limits the immoral aspects of it, after all Islam is a religion, not a political ideology. Oil and water are meant to be public? First time I hear that one, though just because resources aren't privatized that wouldn't automatically make Islam a socialist religion, since most other things are still privatized (at least, I think they are? I don't know how an "Islamic" corporation would look like, but I don't imagine it to be a socialist one with the worker's making the decisions instead of their CEO)

[@danielmuradgultom8282]

​​@@mortarman83095 I don't think Islam should be viewed as Capitalistic or Socialist, that is a reductive assessment. Islam transcends any political economic framework because those things essentially are tools to achieve a goal, whether it is to obtain profits (Capitalism), or to fulfill societies needs and maximizing its well-being (Socialism). Islam transcends all of these frameworks by stating that the purpose of anything and everything created is to worship Allah and Allah alone. How to worship? The Islamic laws or Sharia exist to answer that question. So, so long as you follow the Sharia and doesn't contradict it, technically whatever you want to do is allowed. That means, if you want to seize the means of production, distribution, and exchange, replacing the market with a cybernetic centrally planned economy run by the working class to achieve a fully automated post-scarcity classless society, so long as that is allowed by the Sharia, you can do it. Now, does the Sharia allows such a thing? Unfortunately I am not educated enough in this aspect so I don't have the clear answer. But as far as my extremely limited knowledge of the Sharia goes, it is allowed BUT! The Sharia also allow private property to exist, BUT! The sharia also heavily encourage muslims to give away their wealth to the society (donating to the caliphate to become a state owned asset) a.k.a hibah, waqaf, etc. As that will give the givers massive amounts of good deeds that will compound over time. The Sharia prohibit the forceful appropriation of property. Period. But so long as you can achieve the seizure of the means of production without violating the Sharia, then in my opinion, it is fine.

[@kanon4408]

There is/was no khilafa for around 1400 years except the first 30 years after Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Since then, we have been too cowardly and too weak to establish the system of justice.

Great rebuttal, If having multiple leaders is ok then why didn't the companions go back to tribal leadership after the prophet died?! It would be so simple, yet they chose Abu Bakr RA as the khilafa. It's enough to tell us what is preferred in the sharia.

[@-------....___]

Abu Bakr RA himself forbade there ever being two Amirs.

[@snakejuce]

What I got from their session was to talk about practical views on it. They never said you shouldn't go for it, they've already stated if you want to start it, go for it! They've also mentioned uniting "muslim" countries (nation-states) as a block just like the EU has done. Our countries haven't even accomplished something as relatively simple as uniting like the EU... let alone agreeing on a khilafah. Do NOT misconstrue my comment as somehow arguing AGAINST a khilafah.

[@TheLegendSpeaker]

Shaykh in the video responded to this - Allah SWT does not make something an obligation, unless they have the ability to fulfil that obligation - so one needs to ask themselves why Allah SWT would make the khilafah an obligation if it was not practical for the Ummah? If something is a fard, then by definition of the Quran, it is something that is practical and achievable, we just need to be creative and find ways to work towards it. The least we can do is start having conversations around it, and start thinking positively about how we can bring the khilafah back. The purpose of this video seems to be a response to the negative light in which Shaykh YQ is painting the Khilafah. Shaykh YQ should NOT be spreading such negativity about something that is a fard, and downplaying its importance (which they have done by releasing such a video and previous videos) - Think about what the average layman thinks when a knowledgeable person like Shaykh YQ paints the Khilafah as not being practical - yes the state of the Ummah is sad, and we are in disarray, but lets talk about how we change that, lets start discussion how we can start to unite people, rather than having a defeatist mindset

[@Aliii378]

@@TheLegendSpeaker My brother, I never claimed it to be impractical. I'm just saying from their point of view, there are practical prerequisites to be taken first. The journey of a 1000 steps starts with the first step. We can't even unite on basic things, we have linguistic and cultural divisions-due mostly to the post Sykes-Picot affairs of the Muslim lands. As for your other points, I agree, the showing it to be in a negative light is uncalled for.

[@Reewnat]

Shaykh may Allah reward you for your concern for the deen and ummah. That said, I think there was much more agreement between you and Shaykh Hatem than what was argued. The last quarter of your video demonstrates that Shaykh Hatem believes it is fard/wajib and that the ummah should work towards that goal when opportunities present themselves. How I understood Shaykh Hatem to have some pause is the how (process) for reestablishing the khalifah. Someone saying they believe in it is just the concept. The how in this modern age of the nation-state compared to previous eras of tribes/monarchs/etc are two different things and not a matter of just saying we believe in it. A singular ruler has escaped the ummah since the fall of the Umayyads. It's no easy feat. The discussion of YQ and Shaykh Hatem in my opinion primarily resided in the process and not the proclamation of accepting the concept of the khalifah.

So no Khilafah IE no Shari'ah, than what do they want or what direction are they taking, if its not Islām than surely they are calling for kufr IE secularism! There is no in-between. What one can't overlooked about those who trying to undermine this great obligation is that they are in context of a clash between Islām and Kufr and unfortunately some of these people are trying remove or deny this clash (keep the Ummah disunited and upon kufr of nationalism and secularism, which the Kuffars wants) but what is worse is that the Kuffars don't deny this IE clash of civilisation

[@abuAbdul-Mumeet]

Rejection of a saheeh hadeeth, particularly muttafaqun `alayh, is equal to rejection of a verse of the qur'aan just as pushing fabricated and weak narrations to derive ahkaam pertaining to `aqeedah and the halaal and the haraam is distortion of a verse and therefore implicit rejection of a verse by rejecting the authentic meaning and replacing it with an inauthentic meaning. The fact there are 10 ahroof strengthens my point. Just think about it; the meaning is far more important than the text itself, and now consider that even altering a vowel is al-kufr and apostacy.

These are no mistakes from these two nor slip of the tongue.. Yasir zandaqa is been clear. For the other chap. I as laymen can debunk him with dhalil, so what are they really doing here.

[@ahmd-mi9964]

Auoozubillah may Allah SWT help anyone from the corrupt understanding that you shouldn't work or desire to have khilafath. May Allah SWT guide us on seeratal musthakim which is the way of khilafath of the four rightly guided khalifs (ra). Way of the salef as saleh, Ameen 🙏 not the current so called 'saudi salafis'. Ameen🙏

With all due respect, I feel that the internet has created a platform for so-called armchair experts. Respected Sheikh, please contact the two shuyukh directly and have a live discussion or debate. When you speak like the other unqualified KZbinrs who just comment as a response video of other famous people, it just seems like a tactic to gain more views. Sheikh you are scholarly, you can have a better quality discussion with them with more educated back n forth and with more integrity and honesty.

[@danalmariti509]

They made their views public, why should he contact them privately?

[@visionera6663]

This level of pessimism when everybody is spreading it left right and center why won't we make a video publicly to correct the people?

[@visionera6663]

And also whats wrong with wanting to get more views? If you are spreading the haqq? Like we should make reputation videos to the Christians that come out and spread misinformation. Why is it that Muslims are exempt from that when the correct Adab is maintained?

[@imranqqq7307]

I believe you to be off base here Sheikh. Making people feel good or hopeful or inspired is NOT the job of scholars. That is the role of spin doctors and propagandists, and Allah knows we have enough of those. The job of scholars is to deliver the TRUTH to the people so they can make accurate and informed decisions; not to lead people around like dumb cattle. The ummah is smart enough to make their own decisions without sellout rulers, scholars and leaders doing it for them. As it turns out, the truth is the Khalifa is fard (one is free to argue otherwise if you can), and if that's not enough for you, the last 100 years of our humiliation should convince even an imbecile of that. Our current situation is what you get when you start playing games with the truth, whether its for personal greed (scholars for dollars), or well-intentioned lying. You are riding a dangerous line here.

[@CUTZ2286]

Who are you talking about? The scholars who package secularism and feed it as cake to the Muslims telling them that is Islam. Or the rare speakers who are trying to let ppl know it's not cake but instead poison. You're confused.....

[@MuslimZealot]

It is said that the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets and messengers, to carry on their duties after they are gone. From the seerah, we can see that the Prophet (s.a.w) role wasn't exclusively constrained to simply teaching knowledge but to also guide people. "We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a mercy for the whole world." Quran 21:107 "Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often." Quran 33:21 The Prophet (s.a.w) would build and inspire a whole nation to take that message to the rest of the world. Are you telling me that the prophet never inspired anyone? That the people were never mesmerized by the character of the prophet? From his actions and behaviour even to his worst enemies? Or motivated by the promise of reward and/or punishment of the dunya and hereafter? That the scholars are not meant to emulate the actions of the prophet alongside the teaching of knowledge? Delivering the truth requires delivering it in the most impactful and effective way possible so that the heart is moved and the message is received - and not simply throwing a piece of pamphlet at a stranger.

[@asifali-cy5se]

We must boycott those kinds of scholars watering down khilafas. FBI and CIA has bought many of islamic scholars. We must establish the khilafas.

[@mofahad4040]

Ask him prophet stayed in makka 13 years and he only called for tawheed. Why not he called for khilafa establishment, if it was fard? Why he eat kingship hadith? There will be kingship which is today too. The Prophethood will remain amongst you for as long as Allaah wills it to be. Then Allaah will raise it when He wills to raise it. Then there will be the khilaafah upon the Prophetic methodology. And it will last for as long as Allaah wills it to last. Then Allaah will raise it when He wills to raise it. Then there will be biting kingship, and it will remain for as long as Allaah wills it to remain. Then Allaah will raise it when He wills to raise it. Then there will be tyrannical (forceful) kingship and it will remain for as long as Allaah wills it to remain. Then He will raise it when He wills to raise it. Then there will be a khilaafah upon the Prophetic methodology. So here too prophet never said you go to fard and establish khilafa. Look why isa a.s is comming and why he will hold khilafa back? Because today muslims condition is not such that they can accept that a religious big bearded man come and become their leader. Today concept is judge by look first impression is last impression. So definitely they will today not accept a man who looks like prophet. Its weird man for today generation. Khilafs is for man who has well knowledge of islam who is best and who can rule with it. And people accepte it. And they accept a man .

[@TheLegendSpeaker]

Please be careful. It is unanimous amongst the scholars that establishing the Khilafa is an obligation (fard) upon us, if you disagree with something that is clear cut in Islam, you could be committing Kufr There are countless hadiths which insinuate that establishing the Khilafa is fard, also the fact that when the Prophet SAW passed away, the Sahaba delayed his burial in order to select a Khalifa. Imagine the Sahaba delaying the burial of the Prophet SAW, just so they could elect a khalifa

[@mofahad4040]

@@TheLegendSpeaker then post some where it says it's fard.

[@mofahad4040]

@@TheLegendSpeaker much of it as you can? It is obligatory to take care of all matters of religion, starting with the most important, then the next most important, so we should study the religion of Allaah, the most important aspect of which is knowledge of the teaching of Tawheed, then establishing the symbols and rituals of Islam and the other duties. No doubt occupying oneself with these things is the most important thing, and each person should do everything that he is able to do. There cannot be an Islamic state without proper understanding of the religion and achieving eemaan (faith) and Tawheed, and ridding ourselves of shirk, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): Allaah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely, give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me [al-Noor 24:55]. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stayed in Makkah for thirteen years, calling people to Allaah and teaching Tawheed and Aqeedah, reciting the Revelation to them, debating to the kuffaar with in the best manner, bearing their persecution with patience, as well as praying and establishing the acts of worship which had been prescribed at that time. He did not forgo teaching the religion, although the Islamic state had not been established in Makkah at that time. Moreover, how can an Islamic state be established without an ideological foundation and a society of Muslims who been educated in the religion and have learned it thoroughly? He spoke the truth who said: Establish the Islamic state in yourselves, and it will be established for you in your land. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

[@generalali7609]

Let’s get real. We are so divided so we won’t even recognize a khalifa. How do we work for it when if the khalifa does follow Islam exactly they way you do you would reject him. What if he was Shia? Or Sufi? Give me a break. So stop the BS and stop fighting each other.

[@MuslimZealot]

This right here is the defeatist mentality we need to smash first and foremost. If we're so divided, wouldn't it make sense to give dawah for unity which also outlines how we can unite? There are so many scholars who focus on giving dawah on reading Quran b/c those who don't read, to pray with khushu b/c those who don't pray, to come back to Islam b/c those who've left the deen, etc - khilafa being one of the biggest fard that's been unattended in Islam, it would make sense that you first inform the common public (ie. Muslims) about it. Then once you reach critical mass awareness, you can start organizing and play a political activist role in our community as a cohesive unit accomplishing that one super big goal. All of the "how" is through the example of the Prophet (pbuh) and how he was able to accomplish this in a society without khilafa. Just look at the number of lectures, talks, podcast discussions, response videos that have creeped up for every massacre in Muslim lands due to Western/kufr political dominance, all of them espousing and pushing for political unity to defend Muslim blood - there will be more instances as long as Muslims remain wanting Islam. And nobody is fighting anybody in this video - it's called giving naseeha and it's part of enjoining good and forbidding evil that we're instructed to do when we see real harm being done to the ummah. I suppose some egos will get bruised along the way, but that's the cost of obedience to Allah. 🤷‍♂

@@MuslimZealotWell said.

[@LivoSurvivo]

i mean if easa coming back and abolishing the jizya isnt a sign in and of itself i dnt know what is reality is aswell we have only ourselves to blame we talk about these topics when its too late and when the damage is done rather than making things happen during times of ease we tend to move in times of crisis we need to learn the psycology of war before the physical

[@MuslimZealot]

Yeah, and what is that a sign of? That we can nilly-willy abolish laws based on our desire? There are clear interpretations of the hadith, and one of most prominent being from the Quran: "And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in Jesus before his death." Quran 4:159 And the remaining part of the hadith you didn't mention, also states: "Allah will put an end to all religions except Islam during his time." Meaning that there will be no more People of the Scripture to collect jizya from (as all of them would essentially accept Islam). We also know that Isa (pbuh) would follow the sharia of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), hence even this action of Isa (pbuh) would be from the sharia itself. Point is, you and I are here, the reality is as it's presented - what are we going to do about it?

[@LivoSurvivo]

@@MuslimZealot relax akhi. Have husnathan what it means is before that time theres nothing thats abrogated the establishment of Sharia law as a total system including making the kuffar pay jizyah when easa comes back thats going to be abolished abrogated because kufr will not be accepted at that time whatsoever. meaning there will be an all out war between kufr and eeman. That kuffar living under muslim rule will not even be excepted So this talk of being content with muslims living under a democratic state because theres a level of “safety” in light of that the phrophet alayhi salaat u wasalaam saying that jihad will be ongoing till the end of time is contradictory i get what the shuyookh are tryna do but the reality is theres only so far it can go until the wheels fall off and this issue bubbles again.

Although I find myself leaning more towards Sheikh hatems position I think Sheikh Usta brings some strong points to consider on this issue. That being said, I think the most important aspect of this video is the Sheikhs adab of disagreement mashallah. If we could all, from the scholars to the general public, carry ourselves in this way when disagreeing we will take massive leaps towards unity and establishing a khilafa would seem much less of a pipedream. May Allah accept from us and forgive us all.
