What do Muslim really need: Khalifah to lead Islamic state or Amirul Mukminin – ‘Khalifah of Rasulullah SAW’ to lead Islamic Nation/Ummah’? [Al-Qur-an contains only the truth – a true history of before, the past - in fact since the beginning of the universe, during and after the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW, and prophecy of what are going to happen today, in future till the end of this world and in fact until our next life. They are all should be the guidance to our action in response our current situation - mia]. It seem like to be a destiny, true to the prophecy, since the final Khalifah arRasyiddin Ali RA that was after 35 years of Khalifah Rasulullah SAW period, until today that Islamic Nation/Ummah has broken to pieces. There has been no Amirul Mukminin - ‘khalifah Rasulullah SAW – a single leader with the capacity of ulama-umara leading entire Muslim Ummah’. Since then Muslim Ummah were no longer behind one flag but have been existing in factions – perhaps that is what 73 sectors [firqah] are!. What has come and gone were the Islamic states. One may be stronger or larger than other; with each has almost its own brand of Islamic interpretation. Today Muslim have yet to get out of this conundrum as now one can only see who is who pseudo-Islamic leaders in superficial gathering of OIC. No matter what ever one says or argues there is nothing seems to have been able to unite Muslim into as a single Nation, except perhaps Imam Mahdi RA who will come to rescue them, and Muslim shall win over the world by help of Allah SWT through of Prophet Isa son Maryam AS by beating al-dajjal. Liking dajjal or Dajjal indeed - Muslim Ummah has been facing incredible tribulations after tribulations since the birth of western colonialisms – the forefather of present generation of the ‘west’ - ‘the peoples that subscribed to ‘God taken a son’, yet they and their forefather had no knowledge of true God/Allah and His religion i.e. neither knew the religion of Prophet Isa AS/the true Nasyarani nor the religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW/Islam’. Through educational establishments and missionary activities they spread and indoctrinated false values – belief and religion – the western brand Nasyarani – “Christianity”. They are not a truly book peoples/’ahlu al-kitab’. And in fact from the same stock of peoples – their descendants – originated and the world ‘east and west’ - come to learn and adopt all brand of ideologies or ‘isms‘ - ‘capitalism, Marxism – socialism, communism, and secularism – a partial or modern atheism etc. And today almost the whole world, one way or anathor, succumbs to their world views, laws and order perhaps culture as well – the secularism order. [In Islamic perspective secularism is the most dubious way of live as though one walks on one leg with eye closed/blind]. Their scientific and technological advancements, that supposed to have taken the true knowledgeable persons to know better and closer to their Creator after gaining better understanding and deeper knowledge of His creations and therefore more humbler after realising how little and trivial are their knowledge as they go deeper and deeper the more and more questions are needed to be answered, but unfortunately only increases their arrogant – leads to more exploitation and bigger destruction as well wider killing fields all over the world. They are leading the world to trusting and depending more on ‘men of sciences’ as patrons than the True God. Many present day western secular elites may like to claim that they are now free of influence any religion except universal values but the fact remains that they are holding western Christianity values as their moral basis – secular belief has no moral basis! It is a kind of great human tragedy, by acts of unscrupulous leaders, peoples, as well as mass media in the past and present day world order and/or perhaps by ‘lacking or negligence’ of true and concerted effort of ‘dakwah’ by knowledgeable Muslim Ummah part, many peoples of the world today still in the dark and shielded or badly inform from knowing the truth about One God and His religion - Islam [therefore His religious guidance to mankind]. And also it is a result of a failure of ‘a rigidly and tightly closed educational systems’ that been adopting by the world and over zealously protected by each of their proponent to open their pupils minds to the diverse world views and hence the truth and to liberate them from their stereotype world views. Al-Qur-an is the words Allah SWT and Islam is the religion of the Truth so it is no worry to Muslim that it would be susceptible to words anyone or any of His creation if their pupil properly taught with a well thought and plan curriculum and hold steadfastly to al-Qur-an and Prophet SAW teachings even though Muslim themselves go and start to establish an open educational system. Perhaps in the open world – the today global village - this open approach is perhaps better suitable to increase Muslim pupils’ immunity against undesirable elements of unscrupulous world views attacks. It is of course not a concern of Muslim if any non-believer knew the truth of Islamic teaching but somehow by their own will or conscience choose to reject or to go against it. The warning about the coming of these brands of peoples to our world is nothing new in Islam. The fact is that Allah SWT and all His Prophets have warned their followers against the similar peoples and revealed guidance on how to react to them should circumstance arrive in their life time. Similar reminder found in first-tenth and last-tenth verses of Surah al-Kafh in al-Qur-an. Muslim-Believers must truly sincere in their faith to Allah SWT and must hold dearly to Prophet SAW teachings. Muslim must recognize that no matter how much knowledge one/a man has its only trivial, not even comparable to amount of water that sticking to one finger after dipping into a sea [al-Kahf:109]! Similarly how much good deeds one did is trivial and meaningless in eye of Allah SWT – if without true sincerity in faith and denied His final Prophet SAW. He - Allah SWT - the Creator of everyone and all things - He can create anything if it is He will to - philanthropists, altruists …the do-gooders or whatever you want to call them; any number, anywhere and anytime! He can create whole universe anew if that is His will! The fact that man is at the mercy of its Creator! Allah SWT created mankind and the universe ex-nihilio - out nothing so all things belong to Him! He can decree or assign man or any of His creations to any task to serve Him at His wills. He created mankind and jinn to serve Him in this world. He can keep them or abandon them or whatever as He pleases to. But He has never abandoned them – he sent down His guidance through His Messengers – Islamic syariah – a straight path or a complete way of life - as earliest as to the first human He created cum His first messenger and vicegerent on earth Adam AS. Syariah laws are only extension to physical, chemical laws apply to matter and antimatter universe and biological laws applied to biological living creatures, specifically for human [and jinns] with special ability ‘intelligent’[By the way syariah laws do not apply to people without intelligent including child or people asleep or with mental problem or disability]. By God wills and mercy mankind empower over the heaven and earth and provisionally able to have invented and owned many useful products - car, tv, and etc, and create and set their inventions to serve them as they please. The fact is that man lacks of mercy. They soon will abandon their faithful servants after their life-time good services. One can see that what have been happening to many wars veterans all over the world….they are abandoned after good services they have provided or after they became useless or longer needed in service….! But the Most Merciful Allah SWT will never abandon His faithful servants He created in this world after good services they did. He not only empowers mankind to able to make use everything He created for them in this world but by His most merciful He shall forgive their wrongdoings if they ever repented during their life in this world and reward them JANNAH - HEAVEN in the next life …after they were expired and became useless in this world. Truly what Allah SWT decreed to His servant in al-Qur-an is only that never to take His servant [or any of His creations] as patron [S al-Kahf:102], and to be really steadfast in serving Him - One and Only God, and do good deeds and not ascribe Him with anyone or anything [al-Kahf:110] or their good deeds will be nullified in hereafter life. Allah SWT knows best.
