11.7 Kutafuta Msaada wa Kuanzisha Dola
11.7 Seeking Support to Establish the State
Mtume (saw) hakuwa tu akiita watu kwenye Uislamu na kupinga mifumo na imani potovu zilizokuwa zikimzunguka, bali pia alifanya kazi kwa bidii kuanzisha Dola kwa kuwakaribia wale walioshikilia mamlaka ya kutawala, wale waliokuwa katika nafasi za uongozi au ambao wangeweza kumkabidhi mamlaka. Hili linajulikana kama nusra (kuungwa mkono), na ni suala la msingi kwa harakati ya Kiislamu ya leo. Wakati Mtume (saw) alipokuwa akiandaa jamii kwa mwito wake wa wazi, watu mashuhuri waliokuwa na ushawishi halisi huko Madina walisaidia kuzaliwa kwa Dola ya Kiislamu huko kwa njia ya asili, bila haja ya mapinduzi ya kijeshi, ambayo huenda yangehitajika katika mazingira tofauti. Wengi hawatambui kwamba ushindi uliopatikana baada ya Hijra ulikuja mwishoni mwa mapambano marefu, mapambano ambayo yatahitajika ikiwa tutaonja ushindi uleule. Allah (swt) anasema,.
The Prophet (saw) did not only call to Islam and attack the corrupt systems and beliefs around him, but he also actively worked to establish the State by approaching those with the authority to rule, those who were in positions of authority or could hand him authority - this is known as nussrah (support) and is a critical issue for the Islamic movement today. While the Prophet (saw) was preparing society with his open call, the actual influential people in Madinah facilitated the birth of the Islamic State there naturally, without the need for a coup d’état, which may have been needed in different circumstances. Many fail to recognise that the triumph which resulted after the Hijrah came at the end of a long struggle, one that will be necessary if we are to taste the same victory. Allah (swt) says,.
