READ IN ITS ENTIRETY AT: http://ahadith.co.uk/downloads/60sultaniyya.pdf الستون الستون السلطانية السلطانية A collection of narrations relating to Ruling With Brief Notes and Selected Commentary Compiled by الفقير إليه تعالى Abu Luqman Fathullah بسم االله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد الله الذي أرسل رسله بالبينات وأنزل معهم الكتاب والميزان ليقوم الناس بالقسط وأنزل الحديد فيه بأس شديد ومنافع للناس وليعلم االله من ينصره ورسله بالغيب إن االله قوي عزيز وختمهم بمحمد صلى االله عليه و سلم الذي أرسله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله وأيده بالسلطان النصير الجامع معنى العلم والقلم للهداية والحجة ومعنى القدرة والسيف للنصرة والتعزيز وأشهد أن لا إله إلى االله وحده ولا شريك له شهادة خالصة خلاص الذهب الإبريز وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله صلى االله عليه و سلم وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم تسليما كثيرا وشهادة يكون صاحبها في حرز حريز أما بعد إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرىء ما نوى Over the centuries there have been many collections of hadith compiled with the intention of reminding the Muslims the ahkam of Allah وتعالى سبحانه so as to apply them in their lives. The most famous, that many have read and benefitted from, is the Forty Hadith compiled by Imam Nawawi. But today the most neglected of the commands of Allah وتعالى سبحانه is the command to rule by what Allah has revealed to His Prophet . Allah وتعالى سبحانه says in His Book: وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْهِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ عَمَّا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهَاجًا And We have sent down to you (O Mohammad ) this Book (the Quran) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and the Mohaymin (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it, so judge amongst them by what Allah has Page 4 of 984 revealed, and follow not their vain desires away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you we have proscribed a law and a clear way [TMQ 5:48] This book is a brief compilation of hadith related to ruling. It is a small selection but it is hoped that it serves to illustrate how central to Islam was its ruling system, and the manner of the just ruler as opposed to the characteristics of the evil one, and the nature of the application of the rule, the role of the Ummah in accounting those in authority, and the painful consequences if this is neglected. It is our prayer that these neglected Sunan – and the countless others related to governance be revived and enacted in the Islamic world under the shade of the next Rightly Guided Khilafah. That prayer is also a promise of Allah وتعالى سبحانه who said: وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion, the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: `They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me.' If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked. [TMQ 24: 55] The intention has been to present a selection of narrations which are reliable, and there are end notes regarding the various chains of narrations used other than those mentioned from the sahihain, Bukhari and Muslim. May Allah accept this work, forgive us our shortcomings, and bring victory to this Ummah. Page 5 of 985 ISLAMIC RULE The Khulafaa are the rulers of the Muslim Ummah Prophecy of the return of the Khilafah upon the Prophetic example Obligation of the Khilafah Obligation of a single ruler Principles of Sources of Law The Islamic Aqeedah is the basis for the State and its expansion Islam defines the rule, not the technicalities RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERSHIP The Imam is Responsible for the Ummah Positions of ruling are not to be chased The Weighty Burden of Responsibility Leadership is based upon the policy, not personality or race politics Prohibition of Nepotism Prohibition of a woman ruler RULE OF LAW MEANS TAKING CARE OF SOCIETY BY ISLAM The Ruler who does not rule justly will be in chains on the Day of Judgement Hudood are applied even if there are those who accuse it Rule of Law is equally applied Any accused is innocent until proven guilty Dealing with non-Muslims justly Oil, Water and Pastures are the whole Ummah’s resources Prohibition of misappropriating others wealth Prohibition of dealing with land unjustly CRUCIAL NATURE OF RULING AND UNITY Ruling – The knot of Islam upon which everything else is reliant Living under a just Imam is better than 60 years of worship The Imam is a Shield Sanctity of Muslim Blood One Muslim's pain afflicts all the Ummah Prohibition of factionalism, nationalism and wanton killing ILLEGITIMATE LEADERSHIP Corrupt Rulers are the biggest problem Cronyism corrupts Condemnation of those who support leadership for personal gain No obedience to a leader in sin The Believer has to be Politically Astute BLOCKING THE PATH Forbiddance of Being Content in un-Islamic rule Treachery Prohibition of spying and oppressing your Muslim brother Prohibition of Torture Better to die alone than co-operate with corruption Page 6 of 986 ENJOINING THE GOOD AND STANDING FOR THE TRUTH IS A CAUSE OF SUCCESS IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT The tongue must be used to speak the truth if the hand cannot enforce it Society has a collective responsibility to prevent wrongdoing Accounting the Ruler Not preventing the oppressors is a cause for collective punishment from Allah Neglect of accounting results in the worst rulers, the harshest enemy and the rejection of Du’a Seeking the Acceptance of the People by displeasing Allah results in humiliation THE VICTORY FROM ALLAH HAS CONDITIONS No Du’a answered and no Victory unless the people account according to Islam Neglect of Dawa and Jihad is the cause of humiliation Patience and sacrifice are reasons for Victory Without the collective readiness to sacrifice, the Ummah will be humiliated ISLAM WILL RETURN, AND THE VICTORIOUS GROUP Page 7 of 987 ISLAMIC RULE Page 8 of 988 The Khulafaa are the rulers of the Muslim Ummah Hadith 1 كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِىٌّ خَلَفَهُ نَبِىٌّ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ نَبِىَّ بَعْدِى وَسَتَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ يَكْثُرُونَ قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الأَوَّلِ فَالأَوَّلِ وَأَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّنِ اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ "The tribes of Israa'il were ruled by the Prophets, every time a Prophet deceased he was followed by another Prophet, and there will be no Prophets after me, and there will be Khulafaa (successors) and they will be many." The companions then asked "What do you order us?" To which the Prophet replied "Fulfil your pledge of allegiance to them one after another, and give them their rights, and truly Allah will ask them about their responsibilities" (Bukhari / Muslim) Commentary a. The verb “تسوسھم” – to manage the affairs – indicates that the Prophets before the Messenger of Allah also used to rule their followers, managing their affairs according to whatever had been revealed to them by Allah وتعالى سبحانه. b. Khulafaa is the plural of Khalifah, and the hadith indicates from the use of the verb “يكثرون” (they will be many) that there will be several after the Prophet , contradicting the claim that the Khilafah was only in existence during the period of the first 4 righteous leaders. Page 9 of 989 c. There is a narration which mentions the Khilafah remaining for 30 years, and as mentioned by Sheikh ibn Taymiyya this is considered to be the complete example of Khilafah upon the Sunnah and way of the Prophet , and not a restriction to say that the Khilafah was only for 30 years. And in this way the this narration and the hadith of this section are understood together. d. As mentioned by Imam Nawawi, the phrase “fulfill your pledge of allegiance to them one after another” indicates that it is only permitted to have one Khalifah at a time, and any other pledge given during a time when there is a Khalifah in existence is considered invalid. 1 of 98Displaying 60sultaniyya.pdf.
