Upon the victory of the Republican Donald Trump in the US presidential elections, Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, was quick to congratulate, with the official PML-N Twitter account proclaiming, “Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif congratulates President-elect of the United States of America Mr Donald J Trump on his historic victory in the 2016 US Presidential Elections” Such congratulations are expected from the current rulers of Muslims because of their slave mentality. They waste no opportunity to show their master that they are willing slaves. After all, they depend on the blessings of their master in Washington to come to power and remain there. They thus applaud the arrival of any new master, fearing the day when the rage of the people rises to the extent that they are no longer effective, at which time their ungrateful master will discard them without a second thought. Such is the pathetic plight of the current rulers of Muslims, whose vision is restricted to retaining their thrones, regardless of the humiliation and misery the people suffer as a result of their subservience to the Western colonialists. And they do so in direct contradiction to the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى earning His Wrath,
وَلَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا
“And Allah does not permit the Believers to have the Kafireen in authority over them”.
(Surah An-Nisa 4:141)
The Muslims must no longer accept rulers that have reduced Muslims to being mere spectators or victims in the world’s affairs. The role of Muslims is not to merely await the consequences of elections in the current leading state or any movement from it. No, this is not what Allah سبحانه وتعالى demands of them, for the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ is charged with being witnesses unto humankind. It is charged with conveying of the Dawah to all of humankind such that the Deen of Islam dominates over all other ways of life. RasulAllah ﷺ said,
«إِنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مُلْكُهَا مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا»
“Verily Allah contracted the earth for me so that I could see its Eastern and Western parts and verily the authority of my Ummah will reach that which was shown to me.” [Muslim]
The Muslims will only find peace, an end to their current state of restlessness and frustration, when they are again ruled by those who have the grand vision for Islam to be the dominant influence in the world. The Muslims are in need of a rightly guided Khaleefah who would exploit the evident divisions and weaknesses within the United States, that the current elections have shown, to diminish its destructive influence, on the way to ending it. This is the visionary leadership that the Muslims need.
And whoever is sincere from the Muslims, whether from the general public or the people of Nussrah within the armed forces, and seeks to eliminate the destructive influence of the United States, they must commit fully to working for the return of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. It is a Khaleefah ruling by Islam that will mobilize all the considerable resources of the Muslims, to unify their lands, liberate any land that is occupied, sever the colonialist influence within the lands of Muslims and raise the Ummah once again as the leading state of the world, as it was for many centuries before. RasulAllah ﷺ said,
«ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة»
“Then there will be a Khilafah on the method of Prophethood.” [Ahmad]
