:UPDATE 8/17/14 12:27 PM: Here is an English translation of the below Arabic article
There exist pressing motives for why we are addressing the recent issue of declaring the Caliphate
If this declaration seemed to involve a confrontation in which the World Regime is threated to cave in, then we wouldn’t have had to clarify why this declaration is incorrectly of a Caliphate, and we would have involved ourselves in issues of a higher priority, since the Islamic region is living a period that is the nadir and the most severe and steepest of all times, a period full of miseries, distress, decline, subjection to Kafirs (the disbelievers) and total contempt to Muslims. The Ummah (the Islamic nation) reached a point where nothing could be imagined to be worse! Thereby, anyone who comes to strike against the World Regime and its petty disciples, stopping them from enjoying the humiliation of the Islamic peoples, and then we definitely won’t attempt to impede their efforts.
Moreover, we’d rather have our throats cut up before getting exploited to reinforce the tyrant thrones. On the contrary, we persistently ask Allah to render those tyrants extinguished, where nothing at all laments them.
So the reason why we’re attempting to unveil this declaration is the fact that false conclusions shall be drawn from it, and its consequences will do nothing but get us even further away from achieving the true demanded victory. That being said, it is obviously urgent to show how this declaration is fundamentally false. And at the moment, we will discuss two consequences which are either explicit or implicit in a way that makes them possible.
Firstly, the declaration falsifies every group fighting against the enemies, unless they become part of the Caliphate. Therefore those he accepted the ISIS as a Caliphate will be part of it, on the contrary of those who know that it’s not a Caliphate. This simply leads to a split rather than a union (as some claim) between these groups and will undermine them, based on an absolutely false argument.
Secondly: A false matching between religious texts and reality. An instance is the Hadith: “Anyone who tries to disrupt the affairs of this Ummah while they are united you should strike him by the sword whoever he is”. The group here is the Ummah. In the authentic Hadith: ((Who ever leaves my Ummah while it is united, kill him whoever he is)) (Authentic). As though some weak-minded claim that the Ummah had agreed upon the succession of the person they claimed, and it was devolved to him legitimately! Then built upon it, the legality to kill who breaks the rank. What is the definition of breaking rank in this case? It is up to the judgment of everyone. The green light is given with bullets, and extracts what is inside with no dignity!! By emotional and enthusiastic releases that become a fertile environment for distorted applications.
In the diligence (Ijtihad) of some ignorants’, who ever thinks that this group is misguided and wants to leave it, is considered as rank breaker. Furthermore, if some people, somewhere, swore allegiance and others don’t, then the abstaining individuals are rank breakers! Even once I published a perspective article about the Caliphate, some began waving at me with the hadith of « kill him whoever he is » because, with my article, according to his sick understanding, I am breaking the rank.
Compound problematics! A problematic in leaving open the definition of rank-breaking which entails killing, built on the problematic of claiming succession merits which are deserved only to the one who became The Caliphate legitimately, as we shall show if Allah Wills.
What if we add to that, the focus on declarations of “Salvationism” and “Apostasy” with their very loose definitions?! Otherwise, if the speech was restrained against the World Regime and its agents we would not have talked and we would have said: let the alleged Caliphate take its opportunity, and supporting it is mandatory.
Western media outlets insist on mentioning the word ‘ Caliphate’ and making it as a label to those who proclaimed it, while putting much stress on linking all the bad practices to the whole concept of Caliphate in order to tarnish its image. Many of those who believed that a genuine Caliphate was declared, will soon take a step back (maybe more) as soon as it fails.
They may not realize that the failure of the model came as a result of a false claim in the first place; a false claim on which many injustices that have nothing to do with the true Caliphate were committed; not only that, they may even start to have serious doubts about the very ideas of Caliphate, ideals of Sharia and Muslim governance.
Therefore, we -dear brothers- are here dealing with a serious matter of Deen (religion) not emotions. When a state was declared a few years back, respectable scholars have chosen not to comment because they have thought of it (declaration of a state) as a glimpse of hope for the most desperate Muslims and a way to frighten the enemy; soon, sadly, this experience turned out to consist of abusing Muslims and a matter of fun jokes for the enemies. What could have been the problem if the group who proclaimed Caliphate accepted the ruling of Allah’s Sharia, ruled with justice, supported the oppressed and fought the *true* disbelievers within the territory they have conquered? What could have gone wrong if this group kept its distance from the other groups who fight the oppressors, instead of forcing them to comply with what’s not prescribed (pledge of allegiance)?. Why didn’t this group focus on ‘chopping the snake’s head off’ instead of turning its weapons against what it wrongly labels as ‘Salvationists’ (Sahawat) or as ‘bad influence on the unity of the Ummah? If it has done so, it would have greatly helped Muslims restore a true Caliphate.
This was the reason for talking about this issue. Otherwise, we are not, by any means, looking for taking part in hindering or aborting any attempt aiming to regain the dignity of this Ummah and allow it to fight its enemy. We rather give advice regarding what seems to either go off track or totally against achieving this high objective.
May Allah, High is He Exalted and Glory be to Him, unite the word of Muslims and make us part of reviving the Caliphate, the Caliphate that’s on the Minhaj (way) of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon Him.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله.
لا بد أن يفهم الاندفاعيون العاطفيون لماذا نتكلم عن إعلان الخلافة.
لو كان الإعلان سيتبعه مواجهة تنقض أركان النظام الدولي وأذنابه من أنظمة العمالة في المنطقة لما كلفنا أنفسنا ببيان أن ما قام ليس خلافة، ولانشغلنا عن الموضوع بأُخريات أولى منه.
فبلاد المسلمين في حالة من الذل والهوان والتعاسة والانحطاط والتعرض لعربدة الكفار واحتقار كرامة المسلم…قد نزلت في ذلك إلى درك ليس دونه قعر !
فإن جاء من يشغل النظام العالمي وأذنابه عن التمتع بإذلال الشعوب المسلمة فلن نعيق طريقه وإن كان ظالما، ولتُقطع حناجرنا قبل أن نستخدم يوما لتثبيت عروش الطغاة بدعوى أنهم أهون من غيرهم! بل نسأل الله لهم الفناء يوم لا تبكي عليهم أرض ولا سماء!
لكننا نتكلم عن هذا الإعلان عندما يُبنى عليه نتائج باطلة، لا تزيدنا عن النصر المنشود إلا بعدا. فلزم بيان بطلان الأصل الذي بنيت عليه هذه الفروع والنتائج الباطلة. وسنذكر هنا اثنتين من هذه النتائج التي أعلنت صراحة أو أُطْلِقَت إطلاقات تفتح المجال لها:
أولا: إبطال الجماعات والتنظيمات القائمة على ثغور جهاد وإلزامها بطاعة من ادُّعِيَت له إمارة المؤمنين. وهو ما سيستجيب له من يرونها خلافة ويمتنع منه من يعلمون أنها ليست بخلافة، وهذا يعني شق الصف في الساحات الجهادية وإضعافها بدعوى باطلة، وليس جمع الكلمة كما يتوهم المفتونون بالشعارات.
ثانيا: التنزيل الخطير لنصوص نبوية في غير محلها، مثل ((من أتاكم وأمركُم جميعٌ على رجلٍ واحدٍ، يريدُ أن يشقُّ عصاكُم أو يفرقَ جماعتكُم فاقتلوهُ)) (مسلم).
والجماعة هنا هي الأمة. ففي الحديث الصحيح أيضا: ((مَنْ خرجَ علَى أُمَّتِي وهم جميعٌ فاقتُلُوهُ كائنًا مَنْ كانَ)) (صحيح).
فكأن بعض ضعاف العقول يدعون أن أمر الأمة قد اجتمع على من ادعيت الخلافة له وأنها آلت إليه بشكل شرعي، ثم رتب عليها مشروعية قتل من شق الصف! وما تعريف شق الصف في هذه الحالة؟ متروك لاجتهاد كل أحد. والضوء الأخضر معطى بفلق هامه بالرصاص واستخراج ما فيه ولا كرامة!! بإطلاقات حماسية عاطفية تصير بيئة خصبة للتطبيقات الشائهة.
ففي “اجتهاد” بعض الجهال سيكون من رأى هذه الجماعة على غير هدى فأراد تركها شاقا للصف. وإذا بايع بعض أفراد في منطقة ولم يبايع آخرون فهؤلاء الممتنعون شاقون للصف! بل وبمجرد نشر مقال تأصيلي عن الخلافة بدأ البعض يلوح لي بحديث فاقتلوه كائنا من كان لأني بمقالي أشق الصف حسب فهمه المريض!!
إشكاليات مركبة! إشكالية في ترك تعريف شق الصف مفتوحا وترتيب القتل عليه، بُنِيت على إشكالية في ادعاء استحقاقات الخلافة التي لا يستحقها إلا من آلت إليه الخلافة بشكل شرعي كما سنبين بإذن الله.
فكيف إذا انضم إلى ذلك التركيز في الإعلان على “الصحوات” و”المرتدين” بمفهومهما الفضفاض جدا أيضا؟! وإلا لو انحصر الحديث في مواجهة النظام الدولي وعملائه لما تكلمنا ولقلنا: فلتأخذ الخلافة الـمُدعاة فرصتها بل وجب إعانتها.
الآلة الإعلامية الغربية تتناقل كلمة الخلافة مقرونة بمن أعلنها، وتسعى لإلصاق الممارسات الخاطئة بمفهوم الخلافة ذاته تشويها له. والذين يصدقون اليوم أن خلافة قامت سينتكس كثير منهم غدا إن لم ينجح هذا النموذج. قد لا يدركون حينها أن الإخفاق كان نتيجة ادعاء غير صحيح بني عليه استمرار في ممارسات ظالمة أبعدت عن الخلافة الحقيقية، بل قد تهتز لديهم القناعة بالخلافة ذاتها وبمفاهيم الشريعة والحكم الإسلامي.
لذا إخوتي فالأمر دين وليست عواطف ندغدغها. وقد أعلنت دولة من قبل، فسكت الفضلاء على اعتبار أن هذا إعلان يرفع المعنويات ويرهب العدو، فإذا به يبنى عليه ظلم للقريب وشماتة من العدو. فما يسوء الجماعة المعلنة لهذا الإعلان لو حكمت بشرع الله وتحرت العدل فيما سيطرت عليه من البلاد وردت المظالم وجاهدت من يليها من الكفار حقا؟ ما يسوؤها لو تركت غيرها يجاهدون ويقومون على الثغور ولم تلزمهم بما ليس لها، وتضرب رأس الأفعى ولا تنشغل عنه بمن تسميهم صحوات أو شاقي الصف؟ فإن فعلت لأعانت بذلك على أن تصير للمسلمين خلافة حقا.
هذا سبب الحديث في الموضوع. وإلا فلسنا معنيين أبدا بإحباط أي سعي نحو عزة الأمة وتمكينها وجهاد عدوها. وإنما ننصح فيما نراه يحرف عن هذا الهدف إلى ضده.
اللهم ألف بين قلوب المسلمين واستعملنا في إحياء خلافة على منهاج نبوة.
