THE BIOGRAPHY OF OUR KHALIFA SHEIKH ABUBAKR AL-BAGHDADI may Allah protect him ======================================================== Some Doubts and its Answers: ========================= If it’s said: “Are the conditions to be a Khaleefah found in Shaykh Abu Bakr Al-Baghdaadi?” The conditions to be the Khaleefah are those which have been mentioned by the `Ulamaa of Islaam, which are established by the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the best of mankind. Not those which have been stipulated by the modern countries or what the oppressive United Nations decides. Imaam Badruddeen Ibn Jamaa`ah says regarding the conditions of a Khaleefah: “There are ten conditions to qualify for it and they are: 1: The Khaleefah must be male 2: Free (not a slave) 3: Have reached the age of puberty 4: Sane 5: Muslim 6: Just 7: Brave 8: Qurayshi 9: A Scholar 10: Adequate to be able to see to the political affairs of the Ummah and its wellbeing. So when a person with these qualities is given the Bay`ah, and there is not an existing Khaleefah, then his Bay`ah and Khilaafah will be established, and it will become obligatory to obey him as long as it is not in disobedience to Allaah and His Rasool Sallallaahu `Alayhi Wa Sallam.” (References: Tahreerul Ahkaam Fee Tadbeeri Ahlil Islaam, as well as Ar-Rawdhah, Al-Ahkaamus Sultaaniyyah and Ghiyaathul Umam.) Ameerul Mu’mineen Abu Bakr Al-Husayni has fulfilled all of these conditions, and not one of the conditions was he found to be lacking, not the obligatory ones nor the recommended ones. If it is said: “How can the leadership of Shaykh Abu Bakr Al-Baghdaadi be valid when all the people have not given him the Bay`ah?” It is not a condition that all the people give the Bay`ah, in fact it’s not even required for all of the Ahlul Halli Wal `Aqd to give the Bay`ah, but rather it suffices for those of the Ahlul Halli Wal `Aqd to give the Bay`ah who are available to do so. Imaam An-Nawawi says in the explanation of Saheeh Muslim: “As far as Bay`ah is concerned, the `Ulamaa are in agreement that it is not a condition for the Khilaafah’s validity that everyone should give the Bay`ah, nor even all of the Ahlul Halli Wal `Aqd. But rather the condition is that a group of `Ulamaa, leaders and ordinary people who are available to do so to give the Bay`ah.” This is also the view of Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah and others
