Rejection of Secular Law

however the prophet's mission is far from being accomplished to make this deen manifest over the whole man-made system and we know that the entire political, social economic system in the world today is not that of the sovereign Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala but that of the sovereign of the people popular sovereignty

At the political level, total negation of human sovereignty. The first and most important outcome of Tawheed at the political level is its clear negation of any form of authority for any person or a group of people... Now it is the collective that are sovereign, the collective of the people can make halal haram and haram halal. We have been instructed in numerous places in the Quran that sovereignty and authority belongs to Allah and it is His alone. Surely sovereignty, authority, legislation belongs to none except Allah... Therefore, no person or group of people, tribe or nation has any right to claim sovereignty for themselves.

No other system can function. It cannot be that, having accepted the tawhid of God, the system is one of batil, the system is one of taghut, the rule is theirs, the following is of them, and yet he is called a Muslim, this cannot be. If he is a Muslim, then he also has to act upon God's din, upon God's system.

Muslim scholars unanimously agree that it is the obligatory duty of Muslims of any given era to appoint someone to be their Khalifa. It then becomes the Khalifa's duty to oversee the affairs of the nation, to apply the teachings of Islam among the people, to establish justice through the realm, to provide for the needs of the people, to establish geographical boundaries of his nation, to defend those boundaries against foreign empires and countries, and to spread the message of Islam to people. So today, the state of the Ummah is such that we're living without a Khalifa, without leader.

So we have some narrations from the Prophet, peace be upon him, which mention the stages of political development in the Muslim world. And he said, you know, so it starts with the Khilafah, and then it will be kingdom, okay? And then it will be these dictators, okay, which we are going through right now, and then it will return to Khilafah. Okay, so we know Khilafah is going to be established for sure in the Muslim Ummah again. The question is, is it going to happen before the time of Imam Mahdi or with the advent of Imam Mahdi? That we don't know, okay? But we hope, and we should keep working on it. And the way you work on it is by, first of all, increasing your own understanding and knowledge of Islam within your local community, uniting over these principles.

And what's the purpose of the advent of Muhammad? Why was he sent? La yuzhirahu 'ala-d dini kullihi. So that he makes this social order, this true and just social order, supreme. To enforce it actually. Wa kafa billahi shahida. And Allah is sufficient as a witness as well as as a helper. Now, for this purpose, you need jihad. To make a system supreme, to establish a system, it can't be done with wishing only or praying only or preaching only. You have to struggle hard, because at any place, every place, there is some system already present. Some politico-socio-economic order is present everywhere. And when you want to establish the system of your choice, you have to uproot the existing system first, and then only you can establish the system of your choice, of your liking. So it requires a heroic struggle. And let me name it, it requires a revolutionary struggle. And for that revolutionary struggle, the basic term of Quran is jihad.

there's no such thing as separation between church and state in Islam. Islam is Islam. Islam is the deen of Allah and the deen of Allah is one. And Allah governs at the individual level and He governs at the collective level. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala should not be only confined to the individual. It's the same Allah who created everybody. So it is the same Allah who should rule in the land, who should rule over all the people. So at the political level we must declare that sovereignty belongs to Allah. Sovereignty is to him and him alone. In Al-Hukmu illa lillah... And number two, no legislation shall be made repugnant to the Quran and the Sunnah. No legislation in any land of Allah's lands where his deen is established should be against the Quran and the Sunna.

English translationThe difference between Sharia and law is like the difference between the Creator and the created. The decisive proof and the highest judgment belong to Sharia alone. Ruling by other than what God has revealed, or seeking judgment from it, is among the matters categorically forbidden in Sharia. The basic principle, then, is the obligation to seek judgment according to the purified Sharia within the lands of Islam and outside them.
