When the Khaleefah of the Muslims retires, dies or is displaced for any reason, there is no concept of automatic succession or ‘Royal Family.’ Rather, leadership in Islam is a contract between the Muslims and the Khaleefah. His authority depends entirely on the acceptance of the Ummah, which is represented by their giving him the bay‘ah (pledge of allegiance). You are involved in appointing the new Khaleefah. These are the steps taken :

Duk wanda ke son neman wannan mukami yana mika takardar neman shi ga Majlis al-Ummah (Majalisar Ummah). Kana iya gabatar da duk wanda ka san ya dace da wannan mukami, idan kana da wanda ka sani.

Any candidates who wish to take the post make an application to the Majlis al-Ummah (Council of the Ummah). You may propose any candidate yourself, if you know someone suitable for the post. The members of the Majlis will consider all the applicants, and evaluate whether they meet the conditions required by Islam for the Khaleefah. The Khaleefah must be :

Muslim.

1. Muslim.

Namiji.

2. Male.

3. Kyauta.

3. Free.

4. Sane.

4. Sane.

5. Balagagge

5. Mature.

6. Kawai.

6. Just.

7. Mai iya yin mulki.

7. Able to rule.

Islama kuma yana ba da shawarar wasu sharuɗɗa, kamar cewa ya zama mujtahidi (malami), mai ƙwarewa a harkokin siyasa, jarumi, mai tsoron Allah, da sauransu.

Islam also recommends other conditions, such as that he should be a mujtahid (scholar), experienced in politics, brave, pious etc.

Za ku ji labarin 'yan takara ne tun bayan da Majlis ya tantance su duka, ya kuma sanar da sunayensu a bainar jama'a, tare da takaitaccen tarihin nasarorinsu ko kwarewarsu.

You would probably hear about the candidates once the Majlis has assessed them all and publicly announced who they are, along with a résumé of their respective achievements or abilities.

Bayan haka, za ka je mafi kusa da rumfar zaɓe, wadda za a samu a kowace unguwa. A nan za ka iya jefa ƙuri'arka ga ɗan takarar da ka fi so.

After this, you would go to the nearest polling station, one of which will be available in every locality. Here you may cast a vote for the candidate whom you prefer.

Gwamnati za ta umarta a ƙidaya ƙuri'u da wuri-wuri domin a naɗa sabon Khalifa cikin kwanaki 3 — iyakar lokacin da Musulunci ya ba al'ummar Musulmi damar zama ba tare da Amir ba.

The State will order counting of the votes as quickly as possible so that the new Khaleefah may be appointed within 3 days - the maximum time that Islam allows the Ummah to be without an Amir.

Dan takarar da ya samu mafi girman kaso na kuri'u shi ne zai yi nasara, ko da kuwa bai samu kuri'ar fiye da rabin 'yan kasar Jiha ba ko bai samu ba. Saboda haka, idan ka zabi wanda ya samu kuri'ar kashi 20% na Al-Ummah, zai yi nasara muddin babu wani takara da ya zarce wannan adadi.

The candidate who has received the largest proportion of the vote will be the winner, regardless of whether he had the vote of more than half of the citizens of the State or not. Thus, if you had chosen someone who had the vote of 20% of the Ummah, he will win as long as no other candidates superceded this figure.

Da zarar Musulmi sun zabi wanda zai gaji shugabancin Khilafah, membobin Majlis al-Ummah, tare da sauran 'yan takara da masu rike da muhimman mukamai, kamar jami'an soja da gwamnoni, za su yi wa sabon shugaba bay'ah a bainar jama'a. Wadannan mutane su ne wakilan Ummah, kuma ana kiransu gaba daya ahl al-halli wal-'aqd (mutanen tasiri da iko). Wannan mataki shi ne bay'ah ta in'iqad (alkawarin zabe).

Once the successor to the leadership of the Khilafah has thus been nominated by the Muslims, the members of the Majlis al-Ummah, along with the other candidates and those who hold key positions, such as the army officials and governors, will publicly give their bay‘ah. These are the people who are the representatives of the Ummah, and they are collectively known as the ahl al halli wal ‘aqd (people of influence and authority). This stage is the bay‘ah of in‘iqad (pledge of selection).

"Za ku kasance da cikakken bayani game da wannan zaɓi daga kafofin watsa labarai da sauran hanyoyin sadarwar gwamnati, kamar khutbar Juma'a."

You will be well informed about this selection from the media and other channels of government communication, such as the juma‘khutbah.

Ku tuna: ikon mulki na Allah (swt) kaɗai ne, amma iko yana hannun Al'ummar Musulunci. Saboda haka, dole ne Al'ummar ta ba da yardarta ga sabon Khalifa domin mulkinsa ya inganta, kuma wannan yardar tana bayyana ta hanyar yarjejeniyar mutanen da ke da tasiri da iko, waɗanda su ne wakilan Al'ummar ta halitta.

Remember : the sovereignty lies with Allah (swt) alone, but the authority is held by the Muslim Ummah. Thus, the Ummah must give their consent to the new Khaleefah for his rule to be valid, and this consent is manifested by the agreement of the people of influence and authority, who are the natural representatives of the Ummah.

Khalifan da aka nada sabon zai gabatar da kansa ga Ummah daga nan kuma ya gayyace su su ba shi bay'ah. Wannan alkawari na biyu shi ne bay'ah al-ta'a (alkawarin biyayya). Biyayya ga Khalifa wajibi ne a kan dukkan Musulmi, kuma duk wanda ya yi sakaci da ita yana yin zunubi.

The newly appointed Khaleefah will then present himself to the Ummah and invite them to give their bay‘ah. This second pledge is the bay‘ah al-ta‘aa (pledge of obedience). Obedience to the Khaleefah is a duty upon all Muslims, and you become sinful if you neglect it.

Kuna iya ba da wannan alkawarin mubaya'a da kanku ga sabon Khalifa, amma tunda sau da yawa hakan ba zai yiwu ba, za ku iya wakilta mubaya'arku ta wasu hanyoyi kamar waya ta telegram ko fax. Ana ba da shawarar ku yi haka, sai dai ka'idar 'shiru alamar yarda ce' tana nufin cewa idan ba ku ɗauki mataki ba bayan jin kiran mubaya'arku, ba za ku yi zunubi ba, kuma za a ɗauke ku a matsayin wanda ya ba da ita kuma ya karɓi Khalifan.

You may give this pledge in person to the new Khaleefah, but as this is often impractical, you can represent your bay‘ah by other means such as telegram or fax. It is recommended for you to do this, but the principle of ‘silence is consent’, means that if you took no action after hearing of the invitation for your bay‘ah, you would not be sinful and would be regarded as having given it and accepted the Khaleefah.

Da zarar kun ba da wannan alkawari, kun shiga yarjejeniya ta biyayya ga Khalifa muddin yana aiwatar da Dokar Allah, ko kuna a bainar jama'a ko a cikin sirrin gidanku.

Once you have given this pledge, you have entered a contract to obey the Khaleefah for as long as he implements Allah’s Law, whether you are in public or in the privacy of your home.

Abu Hurayrah ya ruwaito cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Duk wanda ya yi mini biyayya, ya yi wa Allah biyayya; duk wanda ya saɓa mini, ya saɓa wa Allah. Duk wanda ya yi wa Amir biyayya, ya yi mini biyayya, kuma duk wanda ya saɓa masa, ya saɓa mini." Bukhari da Muslim ne suka ruwaito shi.

Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Whoever obeyed me he obeyed Allah; whoever disobeyed me he disobeyed Allah; whoever obeyed the Amir, he obeyed me, and whoever disobeyed him he disobeyed me.” Bukhari and Muslim.

A Biritaniya, misali, an san sosai cewa da zarar an zabi sabon Firayim Minista, shi da jam'iyyarsa sukan jefar da yawancin alkawuran zabe da suka yi muku, su ci gaba da tsarin kansu wanda ba su taba fada muku ba a baya. To yanzu da kuka nada Khaleefah, ta yaya za ku tabbatar da cewa ba zai janye alkawarinsa na biyayya ga Dokar Allah ba?

In Britain for example, it is well known that as soon as the new Prime Minister is elected, he and his party throw most of the election promises they made to you in the bin, and proceed with the personal agenda they never told you about before. Now that you have appointed the Khaleefah, how can you make sure that he does not renege on his promise to obey Allah’s Law?
