7. The Culture Of The Group


Since the situation of the Ummah requires change, working for change necessitates political work via a political structure that is established on the ideology of Islam. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics and constituent elements of the structure, and of the previous structures in order to understand the reason for their failure and how to avoid it. It is especially important to study the structural aspect. This aspect is part of the subject of styles. In origin the styles are left for the Muslim to choose in respect of their correctness and suitability for the work. This forms one of the topics of the party culture.

- Since the Muslims live in societies where there are mixed thoughts, emotions and systems, the work to establish the Islamic State necessitates addressing the society; its reality, constituents, what affects it, and the way of changing it, so as to bring about the cohesive Islamic society in terms of its thoughts, emotions and systems.

- Since the reality of the individual differs from the reality of the society, consequently the constituent elements of the individual differ from the constituent elements of the society. Accordingly the Shar’ee rule relating to the individual will be different from the Shar’ee rules relating to the society.

- Since the work of the group relates to the changing of society, then the group must adopt in a detailed manner the thoughts and Shar’ee rules related to treating this reality. At the same time the group will direct the individual and the masses to the obligation of adopting whatever rules relate to its work. Whether the adopted rules relate to him as collective duties that he is not excused for if he ignores them; or they relate to him as an individual, like when the group calls him to abide by the transactions, worships and morals that are all established on the Islamic ‘Aqeedah in his daily life.

- Since the Muslims’ use of the mind is affected by the west, and they are defining interest by using the mind, then to achieve the best emulation (of the Prophet 􀁕) and most exacting adherence (to the Shar’a), the work necessitates that one examines the mind and its elements. This is so as to know the limits of its use, and the manner in which to use it, whether in the ‘Aqeedah, Shar’ee rules or thinking about the reality.

- Since the work relates to establishing the rule by what Allah 􀀬 has revealed, and the establishment of dar al-Islam, it necessitates the knowledge of how the Messenger 􀁕 proceeded in Makkah and the actions that he did that led to the establishment of the Islamic State in Madinah. After the knowledge has been gained then we must be guided by it. The work necessitates that one also distinguishes between the rules of the method and the rules of the means and styles, so we can emulate the actions of the Messenger 􀁕 with precision.

- Since the work is the establishment of the rule by what Allah 􀀬 has revealed, and the changing of the existing regimes, then it necessitates that we politically follow up the actions of the rulers and understand their reality and the reality of their ties with others. It is also necessary to know the policy of the super-powers that control their actions and work to expose their plans.

- Since the Muslim lands are subjected to the kufr systems, especially the western culture and its political, economic, social and intellectual systems, then the work to establish the Islamic State requires the study of ideologies, their creeds and the thoughts built upon them and the systems that emanate from them.

- Since the Shar’ee aim is the application of Islam and conveying it to the world, then this necessitates that one studies ruling, the Islamic State, its form, pillars, structure, constitution and that one has a general idea as to what will be applied in the Islamic State. It is also necessary to examine the present ruling structures so as to distinguish us from these structures and not be influenced by them. It is necessary as well to examine the basis on which the State is established.

In this manner, the group should define the topics of its culture so as to act upon them and call people to them in the way necessitated by the work to resume the Islamic way of life and establish the Khilafah. The Khilafah will rule the Muslim and non-muslim citizens with Islam, and then it conveys the Message to the world via Da’wah and Jihaad.
