统治体制是单一制，而非联邦制。

The system of ruling is a unitary system and not a federal system.

唯一正确的统治制度是一元制，除此之外的任何制度都是不可接受的。这是因为唯有沙里亚的经据提出了这一制度，并禁止了其他一切制度；据‘Abd Allah b. Amr b. Al-‘As 传述，他听到真主的使者ﷺ说过这样的话。

The only correct system for ruling is the unitary system and nothing else is acceptable. This is because the Shari’ah evidence brought it alone and prohibited anything else; it was narrated by ‘Abd Allah b. Amr b. Al-‘As that he heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say.

. وَمَنْ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا فَأَعْطَاهُ صَفْقَةَ يَدِهِ وَثَمَرَةَ قَ لْبِهِ فَ لْ يُطِعْهُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِنْ جَاءَ « » آخَرُ ي نَُازِعُهُ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَ الآخَرِ.

. وَمَنْ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا فَأَعْطَاهُ صَفْقَةَ يَدِهِ وَثَمَرَةَ قَ لْبِهِ فَ لْ يُطِعْهُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِنْ جَاءَ « » آخَرُ ي نَُازِعُهُ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَ الآخَرِ.

“凡向哈里发宣誓效忠者，应当与他握手致意，并从内心真诚地服从（即在外表和内心上都顺从他）。他应当尽其所能地服从他。如果另有一人站出来（自称哈里发）与他争夺权位，穆斯林应当斩杀此人。”（穆斯林圣训实录辑录）。又据艾卜·赛义德·胡德里传述，安拉的使者ﷺ说：

“He who swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the grasp of his hand and the sincerity of his heart (i. e. submit to him both outwardly as well as inwardly). He should obey him to the best of his capacity. If another man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter.” (reported by Muslim). And it is narrated by Abu Sa‘id Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,

. » إِذَا بُويِعَ لِخَلِيفَتَ يْنِ، فَاقْ تُ لُوا الآخَرَ مِنْ هُمَا «.

. » إِذَا بُويِعَ لِخَلِيفَتَ يْنِ، فَاقْ تُ لُوا الآخَرَ مِنْ هُمَا «.

“当对两位哈里发宣誓效忠时，杀死后被宣誓效忠的那一位。”（穆斯林圣训实录辑录）。从这两段圣训所作的推论是：第一段圣训说明，在哈里发职位即哈里发国（Khilafah）的领导权被另一人争夺的情形下，必须与之作战，若其不放弃争夺，则必须杀死他。因此该圣训阐明，凡争夺哈里发国领导权者，都必须被讨伐。这暗示了禁止国家分裂，鼓励不允许国家分裂，并禁止任何脱离国家的行为，即使需要动用武力也要维护其统一。至于第二段圣训，它涉及国家没有元首即哈里发、而国家的领导权（即哈里发国）被交给两个人的情形，此时第二位应当被杀死；若交给的人数超过两人，依更有力的推理，同样如此。这暗示了禁止国家分裂，即禁止把国家变为多个国家，并且国家必须是统一的。因此，伊斯兰的统治制度是单一制，而非联邦制，除单一制以外的任何制度都被确定地禁止，本条文正是基于此而起草的。

“When oath of allegiance has been taken for two caliphs, kill the one for whom the oath was taken later.” (reported by Muslim). The angle of deduction from these two narrations is that the first narration explains that in the scenario that the Imamate, in other words, the Khilafah, is given to htto dispute with him over this Khilafah it would be obligatory to fight him and to kill him if he did not give up his contention. So the narration clarifies that whoever contends the leadership of the Khalifah in the Khilafah must be fought. And this is an allusion to indicate the prohibition of the division of the state, encouragement not to permit its division and prohibiting any separation from it even through the use of force to maintain its unity. As for the second narration, it is regarding the scenario when the state does not have a head, in other words, a Khalifah, and the leadership of the state, in other words, the Khilafah, was given to two people and so the second of them should be killed, and by greater reasoning if it was given to more than two. And this is an allusion to indicate the prohibition of the division of the state. This means the prohibition of making the state into multiple states and it being obligatory that the state is one. Consequently the system of ruling in Islam is a unitary system and not a federal system and anything other than the unitary system is conclusively prohibited, and for this reason the article was drafted.
