COMING SOON – REPORT:
After the Arab Spring: The Islamic Khilafah, A Manifesto for Change
No one can fail to be inspired by the
courage of the Muslims in the Middle East. 2011 saw this courage spill over
into the streets in the form of defiance in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and
Syria. Though some despots have been replaced and some elections carried out:
the struggles are far from over.
The defiance of the people was aimed at
tyrannical rulers, at Western manipulation and fundamentally against the
appalling systems in our Muslim countries, which have consistently failed to
deliver even the most basic needs for our citizens.
Despite the on-going defiance we still have
tyrannical rulers, we still have Western manipulation and we still have systems
in place that not only don't deliver basic needs but in fact encourage
despotism and Western interference.
Islam is a different ideology which offers
a comprehensive and superior set of solutions from the Shari'ah to manage the
issues of a modern society.
The Shari'ah is legislation derived from 4
key sources of Islam: Quran, Sunnah, Ijma as-Sahaba (consensus of the
companions) and Qiyas (analogical reasoning). It's application and direction is
focussed on managing the interaction of people in society and it promotes and
is in harmony with any level of technological advancement.
In fact only Shari'ah solutions are
uniquely aligned with the religion, values, customs and traditions of the
Muslim people, irrespective of nationality.
This report which takes Egypt as a case
study will demonstrate what a real Islamic political programme for Muslim
countries should look like and how this can be implemented.
