Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the wisdom behind the sending of the messengers jihad and establishing the Islamic state?
Answer:
The wisdom behind the sending of the messengers is, first of all, calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and forbidding shirk (associating partners with Allah). Then they command people to worship Allah and convey to them the message of Allah and the rulings of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), the Shari'ah. This is the duty of the messengers. It is not merely for governance; governance is included among the duties of the messengers, but it is not the intended purpose. They did not come to seize power and dominate people. They came to teach people and guide them. Yes.
