Commentary on hadith related to ruling
The Sixty Sultaniyya, hadith compiled by Abu Luqman Fathullah. Download
ISLAMIC RULE
The Khulafaa are the rulers of the Muslim Ummah
Prophecy of the return of the Khilafah upon the Prophetic example
The Islamic Aqeedah is the basis for the State and its expansion
Islam defines the rule, not the technicalities (difference between hukm and usloob)
RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERSHIP
The Imam is Responsible for the Ummah
Positions of Ruling are not to be chased
The Weighty Burden of Responsibility
Leadership is based upon the policy, not personality or race politics
RULE OF LAW MEANS TAKING CARE OF SOCIETY BY ISLAM
The Ruler who does not rule justly will be in chains on the Day of Judgement
Hudood are applied even if there are those who accuse it
Rule of Law is equally applied
Any accused is innocent until proven guilty
Dealing with non-Muslims justly
Oil, Water and Pastures are the whole Ummah's resources
Prohibition of using others wealth
Prohibition of dealing with land unjustly
CRUCIAL NATURE OF RULING AND UNITY
Ruling - the knot upon which Islam rests
Living under a just Imam is better than 60 years of worship
One Muslim's pain afflicts all the Ummah
Prohibition of factionalism, nationalism and wanton killing
ILLEGITIMATE LEADERSHIP
Corrupt rulers are the biggest problem
Condemnation of those who support leadership for personal gain
No obedience to a leader in sin
The Believer is Politically Astute
BLOCKING THE PATH
Forbiddance of being content with un-Islamic rule
Prohibition of spying and oppressing your Muslim brother
Better to die alone than co-operate with corruption
ENJOINING THE GOOD AND STANDING FOR THE TRUTH IS A CAUSE OF SUCCESS IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT
The tongue must be used to speak the truth if the hand cannot enforce it
Society has a collective responsibility to prevent wrongdoing
Not preventing the oppressors is a cause for collective punishment from Allah
THE VICTORY FROM ALLAH HAS CONDITIONS
No Du'a answered and no Victory from Allah unless the people account according to Islam
Neglect of Dawa and Jihad is the cause of humiliation
Patience and Sacrifice are Reasons for Victory
Without the collective readiness to sacrifice, the Ummah will be humiliated
ISLAM WILL RETURN, AND THE VICTORIOUS GROUP
