Imam Ahmad dalam Musnadnya (jilid empat halaman 273) meriwayatkan daripada al-Nu'man Ibn Bashir (ra) bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Kenabian akan kekal bersama kamu selagi Allah menghendaki ia kekal. Kemudian Dia akan mengakhirinya jika Dia menghendaki untuk mengakhirinya. Kemudian akan ada Khilafah menurut manhaj kenabian, dan keadaan akan berjalan sebagaimana Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Dia akan mengakhirinya jika Dia menghendaki untuk mengakhirinya. Kemudian akan ada pemerintahan warisan, dan keadaan akan berjalan sebagaimana Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Dia akan mengakhirinya jika Dia menghendaki untuk mengakhirinya. Kemudian akan ada pemerintahan yang zalim, dan keadaan akan berjalan sebagaimana Allah kehendaki. Kemudian Dia akan mengakhirinya jika Dia menghendaki untuk mengakhirinya. Kemudian akan ada Khilafah menurut manhaj Kenabian." Kemudian baginda ﷺ diam.
Rasulullah ﷺ telah memberitahu tentang kembalinya Khilafah selepas kejatuhan dan kemusnahannya. Hari ini kita menyaksikan pemerintahan zalim yang Rasulullah ﷺ khabarkan kepada kita, namun kita juga semakin hampir kepada kembalinya Khilafah yang berada di atas Minhaj Rasulullah ﷺ, yang baginda ﷺ sebutkan akan kembali semula.
Imam Ahmad in his Musnad (volume four page 273) narrated from al-Nu’man Ibn Bashir (ra) as saying that the Prophet had stated, “Prophethood will last with you for as long as Allah wants it to last. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be Khilafah according to the method of prophethood, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be a hereditary rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be an oppressive rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be a Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood.” Then he (saw) fell silent” The Messenger of Allah (saw) has foretold the return of the Khilafah after its demise and destruction. Today we are witnessing the oppressive rule that the Messenger of Allah (saw) informed us of, however we are also nearing the return of the Khilafah that is upon the Minhaj of the Messenger of Allah (saw) that he (saw) stated would once again return.
Sewajarnya kita menyedari bahawa penindasan yang semakin meningkat terhadap orang-orang beriman dan para pembawa Da'wah Islam serta penegakan Khilafah ini hanyalah tanda kembalinya Khilafah dan pengakuan para penguasa munafik terhadapnya. Kita hendaklah berasa yakin dan meningkatkan keteguhan, kesabaran dan ketabahan kita menghadapi zalim-zalim sebegini, berdasarkan sabda Rasulullah ﷺ sebagaimana diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad dalam Musnadnya daripada Maqal bin Yasar, yang berkata bahawa Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Kezaliman tidak akan lama muncul selepas kepergianku. Setiap kali kezaliman muncul, sebanyak itu jugalah keadilan akan hilang, sehinggalah lahir kaum yang hidup di bawah kezaliman dan tidak pernah mengenal selainnya. Kemudian Allah akan mendatangkan keadilan, dan setiap kali keadilan datang, sebanyak itu jugalah kezaliman akan hilang, sehinggalah lahir kaum yang hidup di bawah keadilan dan tidak pernah mengenal selainnya."
Kini kita berada di ambang kembalinya Khilafah. Terdapat banyak riwayat dan ramalan mengenai kembalinya Khilafah. Sesungguhnya Rasulullah ﷺ telah menyatakan bahawa pemerintahan Islam akan kembali dan bahawa ia akan menduduki tempatnya di al-Quds, kerana pusat Khilafah akan berada di al-Quds.
Indeed we should realise that the increased oppression that the believers and the carriers of the Da’awah to Islam and the establishment of the Khilafah are facing is only a sign of the return of the Khilafah and the hypocrite rulers acknowledgment of this. We should take confidence and increase our steadfastness, patience and perseverance against such tyrants from the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw) as narrated from Imam Ahmed in his Musnad on the authority of Maqal ibn Yasar who said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Tyranny will not be long in appearing after I am gone. Whatever tyranny appears, a like amount of justice will go, until people are born under tyranny who have never known anything else. Then Allah will bring justice, and whatever justice comes, a like amount of tyranny will go, until people are born under justice who have never known anything else.” We are now upon the brink of the return of the Khilafah. There are many narrations and prophecies concerning its return. Indeed the Messenger of Allah (saw) foretold that the rule of Islam will return and also that it will take its place in al-Quds, as the seat of the Khilafah will be in al-Quds.
Dalam kitab Ibnu Asakir yang bertajuk "Tarikh Dimasyq yang Agung", Yunis Ibnu Maysara Ibnu Halbas meriwayatkan bahawa dia berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Pemerintahan (iaitu Khilafah) ini akan berada selepas aku di Madinah, kemudian di Al-Sham, kemudian di semenanjung, kemudian di Iraq, kemudian di Madinah, kemudian di Bayt Al-Maqdis (Al-Quds). Apabila pemerintahan itu telah mantap di Al-Quds, maka itulah tempatnya, dan selepas itu tiada sesiapa pun yang akan dapat memindahkannya."
Umat telah menyaksikan kedudukan pusat Khilafah berpindah dari Madinah, Al-Sham, Iraq dan Madinah pada zaman Khulafa' terdahulu. Insya-Allah, apabila ia kembali semula, ia akan menjadikan Al-Quds sebagai ibu kotanya!
Ibnu Sa'd dan pengarang Kanz al-Ummal 14/252 kedua-duanya meriwayatkan bahawa Abu Umayra Al-Mazani berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Akan ada Bai'ah hidayah di Bayt Al-Maqdis."
Ahmad dalam Musnadnya (5/288), Abu Dawud dalam Sunannya No. 2535 dan Al-Hakim dalam Al-Mustadrak mengeluarkan hadis berikut: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Apabila Khilafah sampai ke Tanah Suci, ini bermakna gempa bumi, bencana dan peristiwa besar sudah hampir berlaku, dan Hari Kiamat ketika itu akan lebih dekat kepada manusia daripada dekatnya tangan aku kepada kepala kamu."
Al-Hakim dalam Al-Mustadrak 4/468, Ahmad dalam Musnadnya 2/84 dan Abu Dawud dalam Sunannya, di bawah nombor 2482, meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Dua hijrah akan berlaku, dan yang kedua ialah ke tempat yang pernah dihijrahi oleh bapa kamu Ibrahim, semoga sejahtera ke atasnya."
Hijrah yang pertama ialah hijrah Rasulullah ﷺ ketika penubuhan Negara Islam yang pertama, yang bertahan selama 1342 tahun. Insya-Allah, hijrah yang seterusnya akan berlaku bersama dengan kebangkitan semula Khilafah. Kita boleh yakin dengan kembalinya Khilafah; malah Khilafah itu akan menjadi sebuah pemerintahan yang makmur dan perkasa, yang akan menyatukan tanah-tanah Islam serta membawa Islam kepada seluruh dunia.
In the book of Ibn Asakir entitled the “Great history of Damascus”, Yunis Ibnu Maysara Ibnu Halbas is reported to have said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “This rule (i.e. the Khilafah) will be after me in Madina, then in Al-Sham, then in the peninsula, then in Iraq, then in Madina, then in Bayt Al-Maqdis (Al-Quds), and when the rule is established in Al-Quds, that would be its place, and thereafter nobody will be able to remove it.” The Ummah has witnessed the seat of the Khilafah moving from Madina, al Sham, Iraq and Madina in the times of the earlier Khulafa’. Insh’Allah when it returns again it will take al Quds as its capital! Ibn Sad and the author of Kanz ul Ummal 14/252 both narrated that Abu Umayra Al-Mazani said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “There will be a Baya’a of guidance in Bayt Al-Maqdis.” Ahmad in his Musnad (5/288), Abu Dawood in his Sunan No 2535 and Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak extracted the following Hadith: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “When the Khilafah comes to the Holy land, this would mean that the earthquakes, the calamities and the major events are imminent, and that the Hour will then be nearer to people than my hand is to your head.” Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak 4/468, Ahmad is his Musnad 2/84 and Abu Dawood in his Sunan, under number 2482, reported that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Two immigrations will take place, and the latter will be to the place where your father Ibrahim may peace be upon him had immigrated.” The first Hijrah was that of the Messenger of Allah (saw) at the establishment of the first Islamic State that lasted 1342 years, Insh’allah the next will be with the resumption of the Khilafah. We can be assured of the return of the Khilafah, indeed the Khilafah would be a prosperous one and a mighty one that will unify the Islamic land and carry Islam to the rest of the World.
Al-Nawawi dalam kitabnya yang berjudul Sharhu (syarah) Muslim (18/38-39) dan dalam Musnad Imam Ahmad 3/317, hadis berikut telah diriwayatkan daripada Jabir: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Di kalangan generasi terakhir umatku, akan ada seorang Khalifah yang akan menyebarkan harta tanpa menghitungnya." Dalam riwayat lain, Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Apabila hampir berakhirnya dunia, akan ada seorang Khalifah yang akan membahagikan harta tanpa menghitungnya."
Hadis berikut dikeluarkan oleh Muslim dalam Sahihnya menurut Sharhu al-Nawawi (bab 18 halaman 13), Abu Dawud dalam Sunannya (hadis 4252), Al-Tirmidzi (bab 2 halaman 27), Ibnu Majah (2952) dan Musnad Ahmad (bab 5 halaman 278 & 284) serta Al-Hakim dalam Al-Mustadrak (4/479), daripada Thauban: "Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: 'Sesungguhnya Allah telah menghimpunkan bumi untukku, lalu aku melihat bahagian timur dan baratnya. Dan sesungguhnya kekuasaan umatku akan sampai ke bahagian bumi yang telah diperlihatkan kepadaku.'"
Dalam Musnad Imam Ahmad 2/176, Musnad Al-Darimi (bab 1 halaman 126), dan Al-Mustadrak Al-Hakim (3/422), hadis berikut dikeluarkan daripada Abu Qabil yang berkata: "Kami berada di sisi Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Ash, lalu beliau ditanya: Antara dua kota ini, manakah yang akan ditakluki dahulu, Konstantinopel atau Rom? Maka Abdullah meminta sebuah kotak dibawa kepadanya, lalu dari situ dia mengeluarkan sebuah buku, kemudian berkata: Pernah kami berkumpul di sekeliling Rasulullah ﷺ sambil menulis, lalu baginda ditanya: Antara dua kota ini, manakah yang akan ditakluki dahulu, Konstantinopel atau Rom? Rasulullah ﷺ menjawab: Kota Heraclius akan ditakluki dahulu (maksudnya Konstantinopel)."
Al-Nawawi in his book entitled Sharhu (explanation of) Muslim (18/38-39) and in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad 3/317 the following Hadith was reported on the authority of Jabir: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Among the last generation of my Ummah, there will be a Khaleefah who will scatter the money without counting it. In another report the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “When the end of the world is near, there will be a Khaleefah who would divide the money without counting it.” The following Hadith was extracted by Muslim in his Sahih according to Sharhu al-Nawawi (chapter 18 page 13), Abu Dawood in his Sunan (Hadith 4252), Al-Tirmithi chapter 2 page 27), Ibnu Majah (2952) and Ahmad’s Musnad (chapter 5 pages 278 & 284) and Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak (4/ 479), on the authority of Thawban: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Verily Allah has cornered (i.e. gathered together) the earth for me, so I saw its eastern and its western parts. And verily the authority of my Ummah will reach the parts of the earth which have been shown to me.” In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad 2/176, and that of Al-Darimi (chapter 1 page 126), and in Al-Mustadrak of Al-Hakim (3/422) the following Hadith was extracted on the authority of Abu Qabil who said: “We were at Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al A’as, and he was asked: Which of the two cities would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? So Abdullah asked for a box to be brought, and from it he took out a book and then said: We were once gathered around the Messenger of Allah (SAW) writing, and he (SAW) was asked: Which of the two cities would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? The Messenger of Allah (SAW) replied: The city of Heraclius will be conquered first (meaning Constantinople)”.
Penaklukan pertama yang disebut dalam Hadis telah pun tercapai, iaitu penaklukan Constantinople, di bawah kepimpinan Khalifah Muhammad Al-Fatih, dan ia berlaku 800 tahun selepas Rasulullah ﷺ telah meramalkannya. Dengan pertolongan Allah, penaklukan kedua, iaitu penaklukan Rom, akan tercapai tidak lama lagi.
The first conquest mentioned in the Hadith has already been achieved, i.e the conquest of Constantinople, under the leadership of the Khaleefah Muhammad Al-Fatih, and this was 800 hundred years after the Messenger of Allah (saw) had foretold it. With the help of Allah, the second conquest, i.e. that of Rome, will be achieved soon.
Wahai kaum Muslimin! Allah telah menjanjikan kemenangan kepada mereka yang memiliki iman yang kuat lagi tidak goyah, dan yang berjuang untuk agama (Deen) demi menjulangkan panji (raya) La ilaha illa Allah setinggi-tingginya.
O Muslims! Allah has promised the victory to those amongst who have a strong unshakeable Iman and work for the Deen in order to make the Raya (flag) of La ilaha ill Allah the highest.
Dalam Surah An-Nur, ayat 55, Allah (SWT) berjanji kepada orang-orang yang beriman,
In Surah al-Nur, verse 55 Allah (swt) promises the Believers,
"Allah telah menjanjikan kepada orang-orang yang beriman di antara kamu dan beramal soleh, bahawa Dia sungguh-sungguh akan menjadikan mereka berkuasa di muka bumi, sebagaimana Dia telah menjadikan berkuasa orang-orang sebelum mereka; dan bahawa Dia sungguh-sungguh akan meneguhkan untuk mereka agama mereka yang telah Dia redhai untuk mereka, dan Dia akan menukarkan keadaan mereka, selepas mereka berada dalam ketakutan, kepada keadaan aman sentosa. Mereka menyembah-Ku dan tidak mempersekutukan sesuatu pun dengan-Ku. Dan sesiapa yang kufur selepas itu, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang fasiq." (TMQ al-Nur, ayat 55)
“Allah has promised, those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, indeed, grant them inheritance of power in the earth, as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their Deen, which He has chosen for them, and that He will change their state, after the fear in which they lived in, to one of security and peace. They will worship Me alone and not associate aught with Me, and those who do reject the faith after this, they would be the rebellious and the wicked.” (TMQ al-Nur, verse 55)
Imam al-Qurtubi menulis dalam kitabnya yang bertajuk Al-Jami'i Li Ahkam Al-Qur'an, ketika memberi tafsiran mengenai ayat ini, seperti berikut: "Adalah benar untuk mengatakan bahawa ayat ini terpakai kepada Ummah Muhammad ﷺ secara umum, kerana pengkhususan tidak berlaku melainkan jika penyampainya (iaitu Nabi ﷺ) memberitahu kita mengenainya; dan apa yang diketahui sebagai kaedah ialah sentiasa berpegang kepada keumuman."
Imam al-Shawkani menulis mengenai ayat ini dalam kitabnya yang bertajuk Fath-ul-Qadeer, jilid 4, halaman 74, seperti berikut: "Ini ialah janji daripada Allah (SWT) kepada mereka yang beriman kepada Allah dan melakukan amal soleh, bahawa Dia akan memberikan mereka kuasa ke atas seluruh dunia, sebagaimana Dia telah memberikannya kepada umat-umat terdahulu. Janji ini terpakai kepada seluruh Ummah. Ada yang mendakwa bahawa janji itu khusus untuk para Sahabah, tetapi tiada dalil untuk menyokong dakwaan sedemikian, kerana iman dan melakukan amal soleh tidak terhad kepada kalangan Sahabah, malah terbuka kepada setiap individu dalam kalangan Ummah."
Maka, Rasulullah ﷺ telah memberitahu tentang pengembalian semula Khilafah dan kemenangan Deen ini. Allah (SWT) telah menjanjikan kepada kita kemenangan, dan kita mempunyai Shari'ah yang Allah kurniakan kepada kita, yang membimbing kita tentang cara untuk menyambung semula Khilafah.
Imam al-Qurtubi wrote in his book entitled Al-Jami’i Li Ahkam Al-Qur’an in commentary about this verse the following: “It is correct to say that the verse applies to the Ummah of Muhammad in general, for the specification does not take place unless the conveyor (i.e. the Prophet) informs us about it; and what is known to be the rule, is to always adhere to the generality.” Imam al-Shawkani wrote about this verse in his book entitled Fath-ul-Qadeer chapter 4 page 74, the following: “This is a promise from Allah (SWT) to those who believed in Allah and performed good deeds, that He will grant them authority over the whole world, as He did grant it to former nations. This promise applies to the whole of the Ummah, it has been claimed that the promise was specific to the Sahabah, but there is no proof to substantiate such a claim, for the belief and the performing of good deeds is not restricted among the Sahabah, but open to every individual from among the Ummah.” So the Messenger of Allah (saw) has foretold the re-establishment of the Khilafah and the dominance of this Deen, Allah (swt) has promised us the Victory and we have a Shari’ah that Allah has blessed us with guiding us upon how to resume the Khilafah.
Lebih daripada itu, Rasulullah (saw) telah meramalkan bahawa akan wujud satu golongan yang tersendiri, sebuah Jemaah yang bersatu di atas akidah Islam, yang berdiri teguh menentang para zalim, tidak menyimpang daripada agama Islam, dan kekal di atas kebenaran tanpa mempedulikan mereka yang berbeza pendapat dengan mereka, mahupun mereka yang meninggalkan mereka; dan mereka akan menanggung ujian, cubaan dan dugaan daripada para zalim, tetapi akan tetap berpegang kepada agama Islam, dan akan memperoleh kemenangan serta menegakkan syariat Allah dan agama-Nya di muka bumi.
More than this the Messenger (saw) foretold that a distinct band of people, a Party bonded around the Aqeedah of Islam standing firm against the tyrants not deviating from the Deen of Islam and remaining upon the Haq without caring for those that differ with them, nor those that abandon them; and they will suffer the afflictions trials and tribulations against the tyrants but will stick to the Deen of Islam and will be victorious and establish the order of Allah and his Deen upon the Earth.
Imam Ahmad dalam Musnad-nya dan Abu Dawud dalam Sunan-nya meriwayatkan daripada Thawban: "Akan sentiasa ada dalam Ummahku satu golongan (Taifah) yang akan terus berada di atas kebenaran (al-Haq), mendapat kemenangan, dan tidak akan dicederakan oleh mereka yang berbeza pendapat dengan mereka sehingga datangnya perintah Allah." Dalam riwayat lain daripada Imam Ahmad, disebutkan "Muslimin". At-Tirmidzi menambah: "Mereka yang meninggalkan mereka tidak akan dapat memudaratkan mereka."
Imam Ahmed in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan narrated on the authority of Thawban “There will always be in my Ummah a Party (Taifa) who will remain upon the Haq, victorious, and will not be harmed by those who differ with them until the order of Allah comes” and in another narration from Imam Ahmed, Muslims’. Tirmidhi adds “ those who abandon them will not harm them”.
Muslim dan Bukhari meriwayatkan melalui Muawiyah yang berkata: Aku mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Akan sentiasa ada satu golongan (taifah) dari umatku yang tegak di atas perintah Allah (qaimat bi amrillah). Mereka tidak akan dicederakan oleh orang-orang yang meninggalkan mereka atau yang menyelisihi mereka, sehingga datang perintah Allah dan mereka tetap menang atas manusia."
Muslim and Bukhari have related through Muawiya who said: I heard the Messenger if Allah (saw) say, “A Party (Taifa) from my Ummah will be established upon the order of Allah (qaimat bi amrillah) they will not be harmed by those who abandon them or differ with them, until the order of Allah comes and they are victorious over the people”.
Bukhari, Muslim dan Imam Ahmad dalam Musnadnya juga meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda: "Akan ada dari kalangan Ummahku satu golongan (Ummatun) yang tegak di atas perintah Allah. Mereka yang menyelisihi mereka atau meninggalkan mereka tidak akan dapat memudaratkan mereka sehingga datang perintah Allah sedangkan mereka tetap di atasnya." Muadh bin Jabal (ra) berkata: "Mereka berada di Syam."
Bukhari, Muslim and Imam Ahmad in his Musnad have also narrated that the Prophet (saw) said: “There will be from within my Ummah a Party (Ummatun) established upon the order of Allah, those who differ with them or abandon them will not be able to harm them until the order of Allah comes and they are upon it”. Muadh ibn Jabal (ra) stated “they are in ash Sham”.
Imam Ahmad dan Tabarani meriwayatkan melalui satu sanad dengan perawi-perawi yang thiqah (Rijal al Thiqa), daripada Abu Umamah, beliau berkata bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Akan ada satu golongan daripada umatku yang akan sentiasa menang di atas agama (Islam), mereka akan mengalahkan musuh-musuh mereka, dan mereka tidak akan dicederakan oleh orang-orang yang berbeza dengan mereka melainkan apa yang menimpa mereka daripada ujian dan bala, sehinggalah datang perintah Allah sedang mereka berada di atasnya." Kemudian para perawi bertanya kepada Nabi ﷺ, "Wahai Rasulullah ﷺ, di manakah mereka?" Baginda menjawab, "Mereka berada di Bayt al-Maqdis dan kawasan sekitarnya."
Imam Ahmed and Tabarani narrated through a chain with reliable narrators (Rijal al Thiqa) on the authority of Abu Umama who said that the Prophet (saw) said, “There will be a Party from my Ummah who will be Victorious upon the Deen (of Islam), and they will defeat their enemies, they will not be harmed by those who differ with them except what strikes from trials and tribulations until the order of Allah comes and they are upon it.” The narrators then asked the Prophet (saw): O Messenger of Allah (saw) where are they? And he said: “They are in Bayt al Maqdis and the surrounding areas”.
Ibnu Majah dalam Sunan-nya meriwayatkan daripada Abu Hurairah, daripada Nabi ﷺ, sabda baginda: "Akan ada satu golongan (Taifah) daripada Ummahku yang tertegak atas perintah Allah, dan mereka tidak akan dicederakan oleh orang-orang yang menyelisihi mereka."
Imam al-Hakim dalam Mustadrak-nya meriwayatkan dengan sanad yang sahih daripada Umar bin al-Khattab (ra): "Akan ada satu golongan (Taifah) daripada Ummahku yang akan kekal menang di atas kebenaran sehingga tertegaknya Hari Kiamat."
Ad-Darimi meriwayatkan daripada Mughirah bin Syu'bah (ra), beliau berkata bahawa Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Akan ada sekumpulan orang (Qaum) daripada Ummah ini yang akan zahir (menonjol) di kalangan manusia sehingga datang perintah Allah, dan mereka tetap menang."
Imam Ahmad mengeluarkan dalam Musnad-nya (5/114) daripada Ubay bin Ka'ab (ra), beliau berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Sampaikanlah khabar gembira kepada Ummah ini, bahawa dia akan memiliki kekuasaan, kemuliaan, agama, kemenangan dan kuasa pemerintahan di muka bumi. Maka sesiapa yang beramal untuk meraih ganjaran di dunia dan bukan di Akhirat, dia tidak akan mendapat ganjaran di Akhirat."
Ibn Majah in his Sunan has related from Abu Hurayara on the authority of the Prophet (saaw), “There will be a Party (Taifa) from my Ummah established upon the order of Allah and they will not be harmed by those who differ with them.” Imam al Hakim in his Mustadrak has related with an authentic sanad (chain) on the authority of Umar ibn al Khattab (ra), “There will be a Party (Taifa) from my Ummah that will remain victorious upon the Truth until the establishment of the Hour” It has been related by Darimi from Mugheerah ibn Shuba (ra) who said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “There will a band of people (Qaumun) from this Ummah who will be manifest from the people until the order of Allah comes and they are victorious” Imam Ahmad extracted in his Musnad (5-114) on the authority of Ubay ibn Abi Ka’ab (RA) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Bring glad tidings to this Ummah, she will have the power, the pride, the Deen, the victory and the authority on earth. So he who worked to reap the rewards in this life rather than in the Hereafter, he would have no reward in the Hereafter.”
