Sera ya nje ya Dola ya Kiislamu inahusu sera za nje za Dola hiyo na uhusiano wake na mataifa na nchi nyingine. Sera ya nje katika Uislamu inatumikia malengo matatu:

The foreign policy of the Islamic State covers the external policies of the State and its relationship with other nations and countries. The foreign policy in Islam serves three objectives:

1. Kulinda uhai wa Dola na Ummah.

1. To protect the entity of the State and the Ummah.

2. Kurahisisha da'wah kwa watu na mataifa mengine.

2. To facilitate the da‘wah to other people and nations.

3. Kupanga uhusiano wa Dola ya Kiislamu na dola nyingine.

3. To organise the relationship of the Islamic State with other states.

Mtu anapozingatia malengo haya huona wazi kwamba sera ya mambo ya nje ya Dola ya Kiislamu si wajibu (fardh) tu kwa Waislamu kuitekeleza, bali kutokana na umwagaji damu, ubakaji na uharibifu unaowakumba Waislamu duniani kote, kama vile Bosnia, Kashmir, Palestina n.k., ni jambo la lazima kiutendaji.

When one considers these aims it becomes clearly apparent that the foreign policy of the Islamic State is not merely a fard (obligation) upon the Muslims to implement, but with the existing bloodshed, rape and destruction of Muslims around the world, like Bosnia, Kashmir, Palestine etc., it is a practical necessity.

Ni wajibu mkubwa kabisa kwa Ummah wa Kiislamu kufikisha ujumbe wa Uislamu kwa wanadamu. Alipowasili kutoka Khaybar, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ, akiwaambia maswahaba wake (ra), alisema: “Enyi watu, Allah amenituma kuwa rehema kwa wanadamu wote; msibishane nami kama wanafunzi walivyobishana na Isa (as) mwana wa Maryam.” Maswahaba wakauliza: “Na wanafunzi walibishana vipi, ee Nabii wa Allah?” Akajibu ﷺ: “Yeye (Isa) aliwaita kwa yale niliyowaiteni; aliyetumwa mahali pa karibu aliridhika na kuridhia, lakini aliyetumwa mahali pa mbali alikasirika na kuwa mzito wa miguu.” Hii ni dalili ya umuhimu wa kubeba da‘wah.

It is an utmost duty upon the Muslim Ummah to convey the message of Islam to humanity. On His arrival from Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah (saw), addressing his companions (ra), said, “Oh people, Allah has sent me as a mercy to all mankind; do not dispute with me like the disciples disputed with Isa (as) son of Maryam. The companions exclaimed : And how did the disciples dispute, O Prophet of Allah? He (saw) answered : He (Isa) called them to that which I called you; he who was sent to a near place was pleased and satisfied, but he who was sent to a far place became displeased and heavy footed.” This is an indication of the importance of carrying the da‘wah.

Na Mwenyezi Mungu (SWT) anasema,

And Allah (swt) says,.

Yeye ndiye aliyemtuma Mtume kwa mwongozo na dini ya haki, ili ishinde dini nyingine zote. [TMQ 9:33].

“It is He who has sent the Messenger with the guidance and the deen of truth, that it may prevail over all other deens.” [TMQ 9:33].

Wajibu wa kueneza Uislamu unalazimu Waislamu kuwa na mawasiliano na yanayotokea kote duniani. Mawasiliano haya yanahitaji ufahamu wa mataifa, watu na mawazo mbalimbali yanayotofautiana, kwa sababu yote hayo ni muhimu kwa lengo hilo, yaani kueneza Uislamu.

The duty to spread Islam necessitates that the Muslims be in contact with what is happening all over the world. This contact requires an awareness of the many differing states, peoples and thoughts, because all of them are essential to the goal, i.e. the spreading of Islam.

Lengo letu kama Umma ya Kiislamu ni kueneza Uislamu hadi kila kona ya dunia, na hili linatulazimu kufanya kazi katika ngazi ya kimataifa. Kwa maneno mengine, lazima tujue hali na matatizo makubwa ya dunia, tuelewe nia na maoni ya umma, hatua mbalimbali za kisiasa na ujanja wake, na zaidi ya yote, tuwe na ufahamu wa kile kinachotokea katika medani ya kimataifa. Uelewa huu wa kisiasa una umuhimu wa kwanza kwa mataifa makubwa, na ndio jambo ambalo wanasiasa kote duniani wanaloshughulika nalo zaidi.

Our goal as an Islamic Ummah is to spread Islam to all corners of the globe and this means we are compelled to work on an international level. In other words we must know the situation and major problems of the world, understand the motives and public opinion of the people, the various political actions and manoeuvres and above all, we must be aware of what is happening in the international arena. This political awareness is of primary importance to the major states and is what politicians all over the world mainly concern themselves with.

Watu wa Dola ya Kiislamu wanapaswa kuwa na uelewa wa kisiasa kama mojawapo ya sifa zao. Ikiwa ni wajibu wao kueneza wito wa Kiislamu (da‘wah), basi uelewa huu lazima ufanywe kuwa jambo la kawaida. Hatuwezi kuanza kupanga mahusiano yetu na nchi nyingine isipokuwa tukifikia uelewa huu.

The people of the Islamic State should have political awareness as one of their characteristics. If it is their duty to spread the Islamic call (da‘wah), then this awareness must be made commonplace. We cannot begin to organise our relationships with the other states unless we achieve this awareness.

Kwa hiyo, kufikisha da'wah ya Kiislamu ndio kitovu ambacho Sera ya Mambo ya Nje ya Dola ya Kiislamu inazunguka, na ndio msingi ambao mahusiano na dola nyingine yanajengwa.

Hence, conveying the Islamic call is the axis around which the Foreign Policy of the Islamic State revolves, and is the basis upon which relationships with other states are built.

Uhusiano wa Dola ya Kiislamu na dola nyingine unapaswa kujengwa juu ya misingi minne:

The relationship of the Islamic State with other states should be built upon four approaches:

1. Kwanza, nchi za ulimwengu wa Kiislamu zinapaswa kuchukuliwa kuwa ni sehemu ya nchi moja. Kwa hiyo, nchi hizi hazizingatiwi katika uwanja wa sera za mambo ya nje. Badala yake, utaratibu utakuwa ni kuziunganisha zote kuwa dola moja. Kwa mfano, ikiwa Dola itaanzishwa Misri, basi nchi nyingine zote za Kiislamu zitachukuliwa - si kama dola za kigeni - bali kama sehemu ya Ummah wa Kiislamu. Hatutazitambua kama dola tofauti. Kwa hiyo, hatutaanzisha balozi zetu ndani yake wala wao kwetu. Badala yake, tunapaswa kuwaita Waislamu walioko katika nchi hizo kwenye wajibu wao, ambao ni kujiunganisha na Dola ya Kiislamu.

1. Firstly, the countries of the Muslim world are to be considered as being part of one country. Hence, these countries are not considered in the sphere of foreign policy. Instead the procedure will be to unify them all into one state. For example, if the State was established in Egypt, then all the other Muslim countries would be considered - not as foreign states - but as part of the Muslim Ummah. We would not recognise them as separate states. Therefore, we would not establish our embassies in them or vice versa. Instead we should call the Muslims in those countries to their duty which is to unite themselves to the Islamic State.

2. Nchi ambazo Dola ya Kiislamu ina mikataba nazo ya kiuchumi, kibiashara, ya ujirani mwema na/au ya kitamaduni; zinatendewa kulingana na masharti ya mikataba hiyo. Hata hivyo, mahusiano ya kiuchumi na kibiashara nazo lazima yawekewe mipaka kwa bidhaa fulani zinazoinufaisha Ummah. Yasipelekee kuziimarisha nchi hizo kwa gharama yetu.

2. Those states with whom the Islamic State has economic, commercial, good neighbouring and/or cultural treaties; they are treated in accordance to the terms of the treaties. However, the economic and commercial relations with them must be confined to certain items that benefit the Ummah. It must not lead to the strengthening of those states on our account.

3. Zile nchi ambazo hatuna mikataba nazo; nchi halisi za kikoloni kama Marekani, Ufaransa na Uingereza; na zile nchi zenye matamanio ndani ya Dola ya Kiislamu, kama Urusi. Nchi hizi zote zinachukuliwa kuwa maadui wanaowezekana wa vita na wavamizi wanaowezekana. Tahadhari zote zinapaswa kuchukuliwa dhidi yao.

3. Those states with whom we do not have treaties; the actual Imperialist states like America, France and Britain; and those states that have ambitions in the Islamic State, such as Russia. All these states are considered as potential enemies of war and possible invaders. All precautions should be taken with them.

Msingi wa uhusiano kati ya Dola ya Kiislamu na nchi nyingine ni wajibu wa kueneza wito wa Uislamu (da‘wah). Njia ya kufikia hili ni kutangaza Jihadi. Hii ndiyo ilikuwa njia ya Muhammad ﷺ mara tu Dola ya Kiislamu ilipoanzishwa Madina. Ni lazima kusisitizwa kwamba Waislamu hawaruhusiwi kuanza kupigana na adui bila kwanza kuwapa fursa ya kukubali na kuukumbatia Uislamu, na hivyo kuwa sehemu ya Dola ya Kiislamu. Hii ndiyo hatua ya kwanza katika mbinu ya hatua tatu ya kutoa wito wa Uislamu kupitia Jihadi.

The root of interaction between the Islamic State and the other states is the duty to propagate the call of Islam (da‘wah). The method by which to achieve this is the declaration of Jihad. This was the method of Muhammad (saw) as soon as the Islamic State was established in Madinah. It must be stressed that the Muslims are not permitted to start fighting with the enemy without first presenting them with the opportunity to accept and embrace Islam, thereby becoming part of the Islamic State. This is the first process of the three stage method of delivering the call of Islam through Jihad.

Ikiwa pendekezo hili litakataliwa, wanaombwa kulipa jizya (kodi ya kichwa) na kuwa sehemu ya Dola. Watachukuliwa kuwa dhimma (raia asiye Muslim wa Dola), yaani Dola itawajibika kwa usalama wao na ulinzi wao. Watatawaliwa kwa Shari‘ah ya Kiislamu, na ardhi yao itakuwa ardhi ya Waislamu na sehemu ya Dola ya Kiislamu.

If this offer is turned down, they are asked to pay jizyah (head tax) and to be part of the State. They would be treated as dhimma (non- Muslim citizen of the State), i.e. the State would be responsible for their security and protection. They would be ruled by the Islamic Shari‘ah and their land would become Muslim land and part of the Islamic State.

Ikiwa adui, kwa upande mwingine, atakataa chaguo zote mbili, yaani kukataa Imani na Mfumo wa Kiislamu au kukataa Mfumo na malipo ya jizya, Waislamu wataendelea hadi hatua ya tatu na kutangaza vita dhidi yao. Muslim amesimulia kwa mamlaka ya Sulaiman ibn Buraid kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Ikiwa watakataa kuukubali Uislamu, dai kutoka kwao jizya. Ikiwa wamekubali kulipa, pokea kutoka kwao na uache mikono yako. Ikiwa watakataa kulipa jizya, tafuta msaada wa Allah na upigane nao."

If the enemy on the other hand refused both of these options, namely to reject the Islamic Belief and System or reject the System and the payment of jizyah, the Muslims would proceed to the third stage and declare war upon them. Muslim narrated on the authority of Sulaiman ibn Buraid that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the jizyah. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the jizyah, seek Allah’s help and fight them.”.
