The following is a translation of an Arabic leaflet issued some years ago. Working towards establishing the Islamic State that rules by what Allah (SWT) has revealed is in essence a duty of sufficiency (Fardhu Kifayah). However, since the sufficiency is not fulfilled despite the efforts of those who work towards it, the duty expands until it includes every Muslim. This is the case in every duty of sufficiency. The evidence about the obligation of working towards the establishment of the Islamic State is conclusive in text and in meaning, hence, whoever denies it is a Kafir. As for he who acknowledges this fact but does not work towards it, he is sinful. This evidence is reflected in the text which commands the Muslims to abide by and refer their affairs to the Islamic Shari’ah. It is also reflected in the texts which forbid the Muslims from referring their affairs to other than the Islamic Shari’ah: Allah (SWT) says:‘As for the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands.’[5 - 38] T.M.Q. He (SWT) says: ‘The woman and the man guilty of fornication lash each of them a hundred lashes.’[24 - 2] T.M.Q. Allah (SWT) says:‘They wish to refer in judgement to Taghut (the evil one) and they had been ordered to reject him…’[4 - 60] T.M.Q. Allah (SWT) also says:‘No by your God, they shall not have total belief until they make you judge in what is in dispute between them.’[4 - 65] T.M.Q. And there are many other Shari’ah text to that effect. Hence, the largest part of the Shari’ah rules would be suspended in the absence of an Islamic State, and the Ummah is responsible for this. As for the fact that this action must be undertaken by every Muslim and with his utmost capability, this is also conclusive in text and in meaning, and whoever denies it would be Kafir, and he who neglects it would be sinful. The evidence is obtained from the text which have come to confirm and establish this meaning; Allah (SWT) says:‘So fear Allah as much as you can.’[27 - 93] T.M.Q.
