Khilafah. How do we achieve it?

[Talha777]

My dear friends what you dont understand is that the coming of a khalifa is like the coming of a Prophet. The bestowing of khilafat is the sole perogative of Allah, He unfolds His will in this regard as He pleases. Do not think that because Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhi Allahu aanhu) was elected by a group of eminent Sahaba, or that Hazrat Umar (Radhi Allahu anhu) was appointed by his predeccesor that man makes the khalifa. Rather, Allah Taala fulfilled His plan in the actions of men which they had no control over in this regard. Allah alone chooses the khalifa, it is an illusion, especially of the non-Muslims that khilafat is a manmade institution.

Allah never sends a prophet or gives the Caliphate to a Caliph but that he (the prophet or the Caliph) has two groups of advisors: A group advising him to do good and exhorts him to do it, and the other group advising him to do evil and exhorts him to do it. But the protected person (against such evil advisors) is the one protected by Allah (Sahih Bukhari)

And also, the Ameer-ul-Mumineen is not simply a Muslim "king" of an empire, as many people mistakenly believe, he is appointed by Allah as the Imam of the Muslims, and our bayat to the Ameer of the time is binding on us. What we should do is pray that Allah may restore this bounty on us. This is the grace of Allah, which Rasoolullah (alaihi salaatu wa salaam) promised that it will be bestowed upon us, so we must fulfil our responbility and perfect our worship of Allah, and create unity among our own ranks so that He may once again pour down this great blessing upon us. Ameen.

The reason why this has come up is because some people just don't have the ability to communicate to Allah. They are either too stubborn, too impure of heart, or too tight in the you know where. It isn't that hard to communicate to Allah. All you have to do is believe in yourself and don't assume, know, or pressume anything and then everything shall become crystal clear to you. ANd then you will be raptured with the great knowledge that is he. End of story.

from which books or websites did you derive all that? I would like to see reference, please! (if it is not to much to ask) wasalam to Muslim and Ahl al-kitaab

btw were ever or are you now a shiite/Ahamadi? (no offence intended but I do have a genuine reason for asking)

P.S.
prosperity > education > knowledge of correct basis for unity will result in unity of people of same Aqidah
I am not keen on unity of differing aqaa'id (other than day to day co-existence in peace)

I already quoted the reference, but if you want some elaboration:

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "Allah never sends a prophet or gives the Caliphate to a Caliph but that he (the prophet or the Caliph) has two groups of advisors: A group advising him to do good and exhorts him to do it, and the other group advising him to do evil and exhorts him to do it. But the protected person (against such evil advisors) is the one protected by Allah.' "

(Sahih Bukhari: Volume 9, Book 89, Number 306)

This is the full reference from Sahih Bukhari, I'm sure you can find it online somewhere if you don't have a copy yourself. The phrase "or gives the caliphate to a caliph" is pretty self-explanatory, it means Allah bestows khilafat to the khalifa, just like He bestows nabuwat to the Nabi. Jazakum Allah

 

[Talha777]

btw were ever or are you now a shiite/Ahamadi?

As it so happens until quite recently I used to be an Ahmadi (Qadiani), and most of my immediate family still is, but by the pure grace of Allah, He opened my heart to the true Islam, Ameen, and now I am no longer an ahmadi, but I solemnly believe that Muhammad (Alaihi salaatu wa salaam) is the last and final prophet.
