Can the Islamic State be established by those with Blurred Visions?

The Nusrah (protection) should be sought from those with authority and power, provided they
fulfil two conditions:

1 - They should be from among those who have the real power that is capable of protecting the
Daawah and handing over the authority.

2 - They should be the real representatives of the masses, just like Usayd Ibnu Hudhayr (ra) and
Saad Ibnu Mu'ath (ra) represented their folk in Medina. The evidence for this is derived from the
action of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in Medina. The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not seek the
Nusrah from Omar Ibnul Khattab(ra) or Hamza ibnu Abdil Muttalib(ra), despite the power they
had, since power on its own neither fulfils the prerequisite of Nusrah nor its objective, which is
empowering the Daawah and establishing the authority of Islam. This is so because authority
belongs to the Ummah and she reserves the right to give the Bayah directly or through her
representatives who have either been elected or fittingly imposed themselves upon their
society, like the twelve community leaders who gave the Bayah of war to the Messenger of
Allah (saw). This is a perquisite of real representation of others by the people of Nusrah.

As for the Party, the Nusrah is achieved at the Support Point with the commitment of those who
hold the reins of power, or those who have authority and power, to give the Bayah to the man
the Party would propose to assume the rule. They would also pledge to remove the physical
obstacles impeding the establishment of the Islamic State and to protect the system once the
State has been established.

Therefore, it would be wrong to seek the Nusrah from those who do not fulfil the criteria of the
people of Nusrah. It would also be wrong to accept the Nusrah from anyone stipulating any
preconditions. The people of Nusrah should proceed according to the conditions of the Party,
especially in respect of the system of Islam and its rules. Hence, the Nusrah should not be
sought from the armed "Jihadist" groups whose objective is to topple the regime and whose
visualization of Islam contradicts what the Party believes and adopts, especially if those groups
are implicated in initiatives overseen by the Kufr states with the aim of consolidating their
values, fragmenting the Ummah and preventing her revival, such as the Greater Middle East
Initiative, which is being effectuated through the "Arab Spring".

Nevertheless, the Party has been endeavouring to turn the authority in the Islamic lands from
Dar al-Kufr into Dar al-Islam by generating a public opinion emanating from a general awareness
and seeking the Nusrah, as was the case in Medina. In Medina, the people of authority and
power from among those who represent their people gave their Bayah to the Messenger of
Allah (saw) after the idea of Islam had materialised in reality, generated a public opinion and
spread to every corner of the city. Public opinion that emanates from general awareness is other
than the general work; it is rather the embracing of the party's ideology with intellectual
acceptance and compliance on the basis of an overall awareness by the adherents and non-
adherents to the Shariah obligations from among the masses of the Ummah.

This is the Shariah method and the definite guarantee for the revival of the Ummah, the
establishment of the state and the safeguard of the system because it is a method that agrees
with the emergence of authority in society from a philosophical and factual aspect. It is the
method that makes the support of the authority natural and not foreign. Reality has proven that
all the regimes that had seized power through military coups without the consent of the masses,
ended up trading insults and curses with the Ummah who would lie in wait to pounce on the
rulers. Past experiences have also proved that every authority that seized power through foreign
backing would inevitably forfeit its fate to the power that brings it to power, just like the Muslim
Brotherhood who had consented to America being the bestower of authority to the ruler of
Egypt through her agents in the army command. Thus the group took office thanks to America
instead of relying on the masses who had voted for them and putting their will into practical
effect to regain their authority and recover their army which had been hijacked by America.
Hence, it was a fait accompli that America toppled the group and had it not been for the need to
implement the "consensus democracy" initiative, the Muslim Brotherhood would have suffered
the same fate as Adnan Menderes and his party in Turkey.

As for the "Jihadist" groups, upon whom some people are pinning their hopes, ample evidence
to substantiate their failure can be derived from their "Jihadi" experience in the "Libyan Spring"
in which they destroyed the regime without building a state. To add insult to injury, they
relinquished the authority to the secular collaborators to design a tailor-made regime to suit the
Western interests. All they have now been left with is a struggle to preserve their existence,
keep their weapons to defend themselves and impose their will on narrow and sectarian
interests.

Those who are pinning their hopes on the armed groups to establish the Islamic State are in fact
fantasising because the State is built through thought and political work, not with bombs and
cannons. The guns have now fallen silent in Libya, so where is the Islamic State that the
"Mujahedeen" had promised to the masses? This was their sorry state of affairs in Afghanistan,
Somalia and Iraq and this is their status quo in Libya. Should we expect anything different from
them in Syria?

What would be far more sombre than the failure of those groups to achieve the aspiration of
the Ummah to establish an Islamic rule, and far more dismal than the material and human
losses, is the squandering of the Islamic concepts and vaporising their protective layers that
keep them safe from the enemies of Islam. For instance, deviating the concept of Jihad from the
reality it denotes would be the most precious gift offered to the enemies of Islam, especially
after they had failed to eradicate it and distort it into only a defensive war. So does the Kafir
West have a greater interest than turning Jihad into inter-Muslim fighting, or Muslim-Kafir
fighting on political and sectarian grounds instead of a doctrinal basis regulated by revelation?
So would the Daawah carriers take note of the looming ideological threat to the idea and
method of their Daawah, or would they let reality devour their method of thinking as well?
