The strength of arms we have put in this iron. And it is so that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants to see who are his faithful servants and bondsmen, really believing in him and his messengers, who are ready to take this power of steel and iron in their hand, and to fight against those who want to obstruct the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, to obstruct the establishment of the just social order given by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

But Quran has not, you know, abrogated this institution totally. Why? Because I know it for sure that there is going to be jihad fi sabilillah. Before the end of this world, true jihad will take place. And the domination of this Islamic system over the whole of the globe will take place. At that time, there might indeed arise a need for this institution to be invoked. What to do with the prisoners of war? Keep them in the concentration camp? If you can exchange, okay. But there can be situations where the prisoners of war cannot be exchanged. Now, keeping them in the concentration camps, why not to absorb them into the Muslim society? Divide them among Muslims. And Muslims with their good treatment and calling toward the deen of Allah will convert most of them to Muslims. And those women also, they will become—although they will not be equal in status to the wives—but you know, if a Muslim has a concubine, and if he frees her and marries her, it's a work of high virtue. Very commendable. Give her the status of your wife. Very commendable.

English translationLikewise, God, Glorified and Exalted, commanded us to jihad to preserve the religion, against all the tyrants who seek to prevent the religion from reaching people, and He made jihad the pinnacle of Islam. Part of preserving the religion is making it the judge, making the Sharia (law) of God the judge. This is one of the points around which our discussion today revolves, making God's law the judge, which must encompass all aspects of life, at the public level as well; those addressed by it are the rulers and all people. We must make His law the judge and act according to its rulings, rather than leave them as mere memorized texts or printed books placed on shelves. We must turn these rulings and concepts into practical applications.

English translationIn Western democracies, the peoples are the source of authority and the source of the legal system.

Sexual deviance (homosexuality) is lawful. Marriage contracts between men and men are lawful. Who made these lawful? Parliament, because the source of the legal and legislative system is human beings, the whims of human beings. [Whereas] Allah, glorified and exalted is He, has removed the hand of human beings from legislation and made the decisive proof and the highest ruling the Sharia. [He gave the ummah the right to authority. What does authority mean? It means appointing its rulers, monitoring them, and removing them. But everyone, ruler and ruled, is under the authority and sovereignty of the Sharia.] So if the ummah is above the government, then the Sharia is above the ummah and above the government. The decisive proof and the highest ruling is the Sharia. What is lawful and unlawful is referred back to Allah, mighty and majestic is He, and to the Prophet, peace be upon him.

Sovereignty for Sharia means we refer back to God and His Messenger, peace be upon him, in matters of lawful and unlawful, the fixed and the variable. Referring back to God and His Messenger means returning to Him and being bound by God's command, His teachings, and the etiquette of Sharia in matters of governance and sovereignty. Therefore we believe with certainty that judgment/rule belongs to God, so it is not permissible for a president, minister, king, sultan, director, anyone, or even a people, to permit what God has forbidden or forbid what God has permitted, this belongs to God.

So there's a dire need to establish the system of Allah that is based on equity and equality, It is our duty to establish the deen of Allah. This is our collective objective that we should come together and struggle to establish the deen Allah...

So sovereignty belongs to Allah and Allah wants to see that His rule is implemented. Not man's rule, but Allah's divine system is enforced.

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. Well he's not sovereign anywhere in the world. Sovereignty belongs to Allah . 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.

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.
