9.5 The Islamic State is in a continuous state of Jihad
The Islamic State is in a continous state of Jihad. The Islamic Ummah understands that war between her and other peoples and nations is possible at any time. Therefore, her war installations, whether industrial or the military must be at a level higher than the instillations of the other nations. The changes in its industrial and military capabilities should be realised continuously. Beside that, it should be in progressing financial position and in a constant state of readiness.
The Islamic State is the State that is based on the Islamic ‘aqeedah and implements the rules of Islam. The rules of Islam oblige the Islamic State to carry the Islamic Message to the whole world as her fundamental duty after implementing Islam internally. It has responsibility over the whole world, and it is its responsibility to carry the message and to convey it all over the world. This is because the Message of Islam is universal, and it is addressed to all humankind. Allah (swt) says; “And We have not sent you but as a carrier to good tidings and a warner to all mankind.” [TMQ Saba: 28] And He (swt) also says:
“We have not sent you but as a mercy for all creatures.” [TMQ Al-Anbiya: 107]
And Allah (swt) also says:
“Say: O men I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah.” [TMQ Al-A’raf: 158]
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “Every Messenger was sent to his own people, and I have been sent to all mankind”, Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrate this on the authority of Jabir bin ‘Abdullah. Therefore the Islamic State must carry the Message and convey it to all mankind. Islam has made Jihad the method of carrying the Message, and made disbelief as being the reason for which the disbelievers and the Mushriks are fought. Allah (swt) says; “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Deen of truth, from among the people of the Book, until they pay the jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” []
