When we wish to follow the method which will establish the ruling by what Allah 􀀬 has revealed, we must search for the Shar’ee rules related to following this method, so that the Muslim proceeds with awareness, guidance and light from Allah 􀀬. He 􀀬 said; “This is my way: I invite unto Allah with awareness, I and whosoever follows me.” [TMQ 12:108] One should not say; “It is the nature of the Shar’a to clarify to the Muslim the rule of a thing and then leave to his mind, his condition and whatever is required by the benefit (maslahah) to follow the method which he sees appropriate.” This would mean that Allah 􀀬 has ordered the establishment of the Islamic State and made it fard. So the efforts of the Ummah must be focused on establishing the fard, however the method of its establishment is left to the Muslims. That should not be claimed since the Shar’a did not leave the matter (of the method) and did not give people a choice regarding it.

This is incorrect because it contradicts the nature of the Shar’ee rules.

There is not a Shar’ee rule that deals with the solution of a problem without the Shar’a clarifying the practical Shar’ee rule relating to it and completing it, by explaining the manner of implementing this rule and applying it in the reality of life.

Thus, the thoughts of Islam and its rules, if they lack a practical method, turn into ideals found in books, minds and imaginations of people, where everyone talks about them for intellectual enjoyment, but which bear no fruit.

Thus, Allah 􀀬 clarified in His Shar’a the solutions to the problems of people. Hence He has revealed systems for them, which touch upon all their affairs of life. He 􀀬 satisfied all the instincts and organic needs of man with the Islamic ‘Aqeedah, and whatever emanated from it in terms of systems. Thus, Islam is a clarification and a clear message. Thereafter, He 􀀬 was not content with that, rather he revealed other Shar’ee rules whose purpose was to make these solutions implemented in the reality of life and executed, so that Islam does not remain as a fanciful philosophy or mere admonition and exhortation. That is why the Messenger 􀁕 was not only someone who conveyed (the Message) from his Lord, but in addition to that he was a ruler and executer who implemented this message. The Messenger 􀁕 was not content just to make clear that Allah 􀀬 is the only God to be worshipped, rather he worked to establish this in the reality. Thus, he invited people to Allah 􀀬 and the kutla (group) of the Sahabah worked with him in Makkah to establish the Islamic State.
