"Proclaim openly what you have been told and turn away from the Mushrikeen!" [Al-Hijr:94] After this Ayah was revealed, the Muslims went out in two rows; one led by ‘Umar bin al Khattab (ra) and the other led by Hamza Assadullah (ra) - they circumambulated around the Ka’ba. They headed for the mosque in broad daylight to challenge the practices of the rulers of Makkah, in the same way Members of a political party in Uzbekistan distributed 100,000 leaflets in the same hour and on the same day challenging the practices of the corrupt and tyrannical rulers of Uzbekistan. The Makkan society was shocked since they had seen nothing like this before. The faces of their leaders became pale and resentful. The Quraish were shocked, since this was the first time that they had seen a group like that of Rasoolallah . For the first time they saw white and black, slave and leader, rich and poor, united as brothers with a common purpose challenging the ‘Aqeeda and the political authority of the Quraish. After this, Muhammad took every opportunity to highlight the falsehood of the way of life that Quraish were so accustomed to. He condemned the economic corruption, exposed the social problems and insulted the idols of Quraish. Anyone who desires the re-establishment of the Khilafah would need to emulate the Prophet Muhammad in highlighting the falsehood of the way of the life of the disbelievers, condemning the economic practices of the society and insulting the pillars of Western civilisation that are propagated throughout the Muslim world. This is in order to perform the ground work for the return of the Khilafah in the same manner the Prophet and his Sahaba (ra) did.
