What is your response to those who claim that there are many ways to establish the state of Islam, including the method of parliaments?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It is the same idea, meaning there are two groups or two countries trying to establish the Islamic state by means other than, in their opinion, the path of jihad. These two paths, or the paths of participating in legislative councils...
The Shaykh : My brother, you have already received the answer. May Allah guide you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : There are no paths there except the path of Muhammad.
The questioner : We know this talk, but in your response to them, as a continuation of the topic, there is a third path, which is the scientific and intellectual approach. They say that Islam solves modern problems and the problems of people. So, in your response to these two groups, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : Islam solves all problems; this statement is correct.
But if this is made into a path, it is a wrong method, because if Islam solves an economic problem, who will implement it? Those who rule by other than what Allah has revealed? The problem returns to its original state. And Islam solving every problem is what we have said: purification and education. When we return to the correct Islam with the correct understanding, all problems will be solved. But this requires someone to establish these rulings selected and taken from the Book and the Sunnah. Therefore, this has no relation to the methodology intended to be adhered to for establishing the rule of Allah on earth, unlike the first group you mentioned, which are those who affiliate with or enter the parliaments that are based on contradicting the Shari'ah. No, this is not permissible in Islam, and I am amazed how a Muslim can say that this is the path.
But I say a Muslim might say this is the path because he does not know the path of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
I say that the treatment of the matter we are discussing is undoubtedly that there are many Islamic groups that meet at one point, and as you indicated in your speech, they differ in the methods to achieve this point, this goal. The goal is establishing the Muslim state. There is no difference between a sect or a group or a group, but there is a difference in the path.
From these paths, these Islamists enter the parliament so that they can mitigate the ruling laws, mitigate their harms, and change what is possible of them over time until the rule of the parliament becomes the rule of Islam.
I believe this treatment is not held by any of the Islamic schools of thought of any of the Muslim imams, but it is the school of a man who was a Muslim but was a fornicator. So I say this solution for establishing the Muslim state by entering the parliament is a school that is permissible according to the school of Abu Nuwas.
What did Abu Nuwas say? He said: "And I treated it with that which was the disease."
This is one of the most amazing things heard from some of the callers to Islam...
So I say this solution for establishing the Muslim state by entering the parliament is a school that is permissible according to the school of Abu Nuwas.
What did Abu Nuwas say? He said: "And I treated it with that which was the disease."
This is one of the most amazing things heard from some of the Islamic callers today, that it is permissible for the educated, knowledgeable Muslim to enter the parliament to treat the problem of the parliament that rules by other than what Allah has revealed. This is as that fornicator said: "And I treated it with that which was the disease." First, the first rule in all parliaments is the pledge to implement this constitution and this, and the laws branching from it. Is this permissible for a Muslim? Well, it is clear from the title of the book, so it does not need to be said. And no blame, that there are different paths to achieve the methodology or the goal that Muslims agree on, including that some people say they enter the parliament to achieve this goal. This goal will never be achieved except by one path, which is the path of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the summary of which is purification and education.
As for following the rulers and accommodating them and entering their parliaments, we have tried this in Syria, and others have tried it elsewhere, and we have tried it here. What did we benefit from the entry of some Islamists into the parliament? Nothing.
And glory be to Allah, we see that some of the enthusiasts for Islam enter the parliament and then leave it, and their faith in the parliament has weakened, and that is what we hope for, but unfortunately, they waste their time and efforts in achieving a very great goal, which is establishing the Muslim state with a system that is against Islam. So, "And I treated it with that which was the disease." This is not permissible, this is absolutely not permissible. And know for certain, if you have not yet known, and the scholars and students of knowledge have repeated it to you over and over again, so that it is hardly conceivable that there is a layman who has not heard his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in his sermons:Sahih Muslim 867a There is no doubt, the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. Did Muhammad participate with the polytheists? Did he follow them by participating in their Jahili system? On the contrary, Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Isra 17:74] Allah is the Greatest. The Master of mankind, our Lord threatens him with this threat, saying to him: [Al-Isra 17:74] The verse, and what if? And if.
The questioner :[Al-Isra 17:74]
The Shaykh : No, what if?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh[Al-Isra 17:75] Allah is the Greatest. So this verse is the greatest proof that it is not befitting for a Muslim group to lean and rely on this rule in the name of reforming the rule. [Al-Isra 17:74] And Allah the Mighty and Majestic says in the other verse: [Hud 11:113] So finally I say:
"Sa'd brought it, and Sa'd was wrapped up. This is not, O Sa'd, how camels are brought in."
This is not how the state of Islam is established, by following the system that fights Islam, legally and systemically, fighting Islam.
The laws now give personal freedom, they distinguish between a man who raped a girl and a man who had intercourse and committed zina with a girl who was willing. What is this?
The one who enters the parliament and pledges to Allah and swears an oath by what he holds sacred that he will support the constitution and support the law, and then says I take this as a means to support Islam and strive to establish the Muslim state.
Do you not agree with me that this is the school of Abu Nuwas, "And I treated it with that which was the disease."

وخير الهدى هدى محمدyou would have almost inclined to them a little.
لقد كدت تركن إليهم شيئا قليلاyou would have almost inclined to them a little.
لقد كدت تركن إليهم شيئا قليلاThe questioner :
And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.
ولولا أن ثبتناك لقد كدت تركن إليهم شيئا قليلاThe Shaykh : No, what if?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh
Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death
إذا لأذقناك ضعف الحياة وضعف المماتyou would have almost inclined to them a little.
لقد كدت تركن إليهم شيئا قليلاAnd do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire
ولا تركنوا إلى الذين ظلموا فتمسكم النار"Sa'd brought it, and Sa'd was wrapped up. This is not, O Sa'd, how camels are brought in."
