We need to be able to introduce people to the example of Islamic governance and of Imamah that we have, which is in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that will not be accomplished unless people understand who Imam Khomeini actually was.

May we be all inspired by the words of Imam Khomeini and may we all work amongst each other to create the ummah that he died for... the central point of Imam Khomeini's movement and his life was that it was a rising up for the sake of Allah. It was a rising up for delivering the message of Allah and seeing it actually implemented within the society... Allah's laws implemented and obeyed on the personal level but as well as on the societal and on the political level.

...a long time to get the Shia, some of the Shia and the masses, to understand how bad secular government is. They needed the people, the mu'mineen first, and everyone else to understand the only solution is divine government. The only solution is divine government. It shouldn't be the case that a Shia, someone who has been ordered by Quran to do kufr to the taghut, thinks my salvation is in the presidency of Biden.

The real solution is when the teachings of the Anbiya, the teachings of God, are there in society. It's not just in our hearts, but rather that Islam needs to rule. The godly need to rule. The Anbiya in their time, after them, the Aulsiyya, now in our time, the godly, the Fuqaha, Imam Khamenei. The masses are so frustrated because they're trying. They're talking to their elected officials. They're engaging them in conversations. What they're finding is that each one of them has been bought out by AIPAC. Some of them would rush out with Israeli flags before they would rush out with an American flag. Those people are listening to the money. They know who pays their checks and their bills. The system is flawed. Political Islam, the Islam where the Anbiya and the teachings of the Anbiya are in society, is the solution. So one part of it, yes, on a personal level, we do need to address the inner Nafs, but the other part is that for you and I to be brave and to talk to people, God needs to rule our lives politically in order for this misery to end.

English translationTherefore, this religion must exist, and it is this alone that must also be implemented ... that is, in every age the ruling of every religion is this: that when Allah's religion has come, you cannot issue rulings according to your own will ... 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.

So that the whole deen, the whole system becomes that of Allah, not that of Abu Jahl, not that of any polytheist, not that of any person who does not believe in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and his system of justice. The entire deen. There is no such thing as separation of Quran or church and state. You go ahead, worship whatever God you want to worship, but then we will tell you, we will devise laws, enact laws. We will tell you what is good for you and what is bad. We will make halal and haram for you. No, Allah said, “I don't want that. I want the whole system to be mine.”

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.

So takbirur rab to make Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala supreme. This is the mission of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalam and because the Prophet is not with us anymore, his mission now is entrusted upon the believers. It is we who are going to carry out this mission although the Prophet was quite successful. InshaAllah I'll talk about that when I come to discussing the third wall, the third wall, to make this deen prevail over all systems.

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.

Then to establish the deen of Allah, to make jihad for the cause of Allah, you need money. So actually the second head is when you are spending your money for the deen of Allah, whether it is for the propagation of the dawah of Allah, of the deen of Allah, or it is for the needs of revolutionary struggle to establish the deen of Allah ... the object of the iqamat-ud-deen is to establish the kingdom of Allah on Earth, kingdom of heaven on Earth, Thy kingdom come, so that you know the sovereignty of Allah, glorified and exalted is He, is established.

Who will be ready to sacrifice everything for the cause of Allah, for making the deen of Allah supreme?

This divine law in and of itself that we are told about by our Lord, Allah Azawajal—its promotion and its administration is to be enjoined by the Islamic State, and it guides individual believers personally within themselves, whether they're in the Islamic State or outside of the Islamic State. Notice I say "the Islamic State" and not "an Islamic state." There can't be multiple Islamic states. There may be Muslim countries, but there is supposed to be the Islamic State, one Islamic State.

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.

This jihad needs a party. There can be no jihad without a group of dedicated people and disciplined people, people who are ready to sacrifice everything. Because in order to make the deen of Allah supreme you need a change in the system. And the change of system can be brought about only through a revolutionary movement, revolutionary struggle. And a revolutionary struggle can be carried on only by a party, not an individual.

And what more was Muhammad sent sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to make this deen supreme? Because it's no use having a good system of life written only in the books. To what purpose? To what benefit? If it is not established, if it is not established on earth. So actually that was the purpose that has been given thrice in the Quran, that Muhammad was sent to make the deen of Allah supreme over the whole system of life.

Now, this is actually the fundamental provision of an Islamic state. This should be clause one of the constitution of any Islamic state. And if I say the same thing in different words, any state in the world, if its provision, its constitution provides this, that the book of Allah and the practice of His messenger are supreme. No legislation can be done here repugnant to the Quran and the Sunnah ... Although if you speak theoretically regarding the theoretical discussions about the constitutional basis of states ... that for an Islamic state, the fundamental principle is that sovereignty here belongs to Allah, not to any person, not to any individual, and nor to the nation.

They would like to have the death of shahada. They would like to meet Allah as soon as possible through shahada... Then they can bring about a change in the system. They can bring about a revolution. Then the whole political, social economic system can change. Then they can wage jihad for the cause of Allah. If they go to war for the cause of Allah, why the wars for the cause of Allah are failing these days? Because these personalities, individuals were not reformed first.
