Those who insist that there can be no amirate because there has to be caliphate, and that thus the zakat cannot be collected until there is a caliph are like someone who being told to build a palace to live in refuses to build himself a hut to shelter in while he builds the palace and thus lives exposed to the elements, the wind, the rain and the snow. The fact of him building himself a hut or a small house does not mean that he has given up on the palace, but just that he understands that palaces are not built in a day.
