Text of the Meethaaq (charter) that was signed by the tribal leaders of Palestine on the work for Khilafah

Based on our great Deen of Islaam and that which is obligatory upon us in terms of working for the application of its rules and due to our Imaan (belief) in that which has come in our Noble Qur’aan in terms of the promise of Allah to his righteous servants of succession on the earth and due to the glad tidings that our Messenger Al-Mustafaa (saw) informed us of in regards to the return of the Khilafah and the spread of Islaam to cover all corners of the world, based on this:

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

On the occasion of the 92nd anniversary of the destruction of the Khilafah

Charter of the tribes and large families of Palestine

In support of the establishment of the Khilafah and the implementation of the Shari’ah in a complete and comprehensive manner.

We a large group from amongst the leaders and representatives of the large families (Tribes) of Palestine have signed upon that which follows underneath:

Based on our great Deen of Islaam and that which is obligatory upon us in terms of working for the application of its rules and due to our Imaan (belief) in that which has come in our Noble Qur’aan in terms of the promise of Allah to his righteous servants of succession on the earth and due to the glad tidings that our Messenger Al-Mustafaa (saw) informed us of in regards to the return of the Khilafah and the spread of Islaam to cover all corners of the world, based on this:

We make a covenant upon this Shar’i and political charter to support the work for the application of the Shari’ah and to strive to realise the achievement of the objective of the Khilafah that will unite the Ummah, liberate the lands and to save the servants (people) from the control of the forces that are hostile against the Muslims, and to save them from the evil of the systems and legislations of falsehood.

And this is upon the following fundamental points:

1) The implementation of the Islamic Shari’ah upon the basis of the principle that the sovereignty belongs to the Shar’a.

2) The realisation of the right of the people to choose the Khalifah that will implement the Shar’a of Allah.

3) The unification of the Muslim lands under the command of the Khalifah who the Ummah has chosen.

4) The rejection of any legislation that is not from the Wahi (revelation) and to adopt that which the Khalifah has adopted in terms of Ahkaam Ash-Shari’ah from Ijtihaad which will be issued in the constitution and laws.

5) To make the constitution purely Islamic where it is extracted from the Islamic Shari’ah evidences alone and these are Al-Kitaab (Al-Qur’aan), the Sunnah, Ijmaa’ As-Sahaabah and the Qiyaas that is taken from the Shar’i evidence.

6) To return the issue of Palestine to the forefront of the Islamic Ummah because she is the possessor of a right and an obligation and it as obligation upon her to carry the responsibility of its liberation.

7) A call to the Ummah to awaken her pious and strong soldiers to go forth in Al-Jihaad so as to remove the Jewish entity of occupation from all of the land of Palestine and to liberate all of the occupied Muslim lands.

And upon this basis:

We declare in our being a part of the large families (tribes) of the Muslim lands of Ash-Shaam, that we are with the blessed revolution of Ash-Shaam towards the Khilafah and that we put the issue of Palestine and its liberation as being part of the agenda of the Shaami revolution so that the example of Salaah ud Deen Al-Ayyoobi can be repeated from Halab (Aleppo) to Damascus to Bait Al-Maqdis (Al-Quds, Palestine).

And Allah is witness upon what we have said.
