Whenever the people's frustration rises to extreme levels anywhere in the Muslim World, from Tunisia to Bangladesh, the Western colonialist seeks to preserve the current, corrupt system, with a mere face-change and face-saving changes to a few laws. It is obvious these days, that to please their Western masters, the traitors within Pakistan's political and military leadership are creating a "King's Party" or a "Q-league" to quell the Ummah's anger against the system. But, the capitalist system is the actual cause of misery in Pakistan for over six decades, implemented by both dictators and democrats alike. Until this system is up-rooted and replaced by the Khilafah, no real change will ever occur. So, Hizb ut-Tahrir here wishes to provide you an overview of the Khilafah, which will not only save you from oppression in this world, it will save you from the anger of Allah سبحانه و تعالى in the Hereafter as well.
The ruling system of the current, capitalist system is based on the principle that man is sovereign and has the right to make laws as he wishes. This occurs in both democracy and dictatorship, so it is useless to limit debate to these two man-made systems. Both under democracy and dictatorship, Pakistan's laws are made to safeguard the interests of the colonialists or their agents within the political and military leadership. In contrast, in the Khilafah, the constitution and the laws are extracted from the Quran and the Sunnah exclusively. So, the Khaleefah and the elected men and women of the Majlis-e-Ummah, will not make laws as is the case in democratic assemblies today. Rather, they will advise and account all the rulers on the basis of their ruling by Islam, in a system where Allah سبحانه و تعالى alone is Sovereign. Allah سبحانه و تعالى ordered the Muslims decisively,
إِنْ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ
"The Rule is for none but Allah" [Surah Yusuf 12: 67]
Similarly, the economic system in capitalism benefits the colonialist and the traitors within the political and military leadership, whilst oppressing tens of millions. Under the guise of "freedom of ownership," it allows the colonialist and their agents to own public resources and hence oppress the masses by selling these resources to them at unaffordable prices. Pakistan's current energy crisis is just one example. Power generation plants as well as oil and gas sector were privatized and their control was handed over to the colonialist, their companies and their agents. In the Khilafah system, public properties cannot be privatized rather the people are its actual owner, whilst the state only administers them on people's behalf. RasulAllah صلى الله عليه و سلم said,
الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ الْمَاءِ وَالْكَلَإِ وَالنَّارِ
"The Muslims are partners in three things, waters, feeding pastures and fire." (Ahmad)
According to this hadith, all energy resources, including oil and gas wells, coal mines and electricity generation plants will never be privatized. So, the Khilafah will neither impose taxes on these public properties, nor profiteer from them. This will significantly reduce the prices of power and fuel, providing relief for the masses and new life to the crippled industry and agricultural sector. Moreover, Islam has mandated that the revenues generated through the export of these public properties are placed in the Khilafah's treasuries and spent on all the citizens of the Khilafah, regardless of their race, gender, language or religion.
The Khilafah's revenue generation also stands apart from the Capitalist system. RasulAllah صلى الله عليه و سلم said,
لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ
"The collector of taxes will not enter heaven" (Ahmad)
According to this Hadith, nobody is allowed to tax the people at will and the revenues for the Khilafah's state treasury are only those ordained by Allah سبحانه و تعالى. This denies the ruler the oppressive "right" to impose taxation, whenever and however he likes. But the current system in Pakistan has provided democrats and dictators full authority to establish revenues which are not allowed in Islam. In fact, for the past sixty years, colonialist agent rulers have successively increased taxation to the point that today, GST and other indirect taxes make up more than half of the total revenue, causing misery for tens of millions. In Islam, the people's private property has sanctity and the Khilafah state cannot rob its citizens under the guise of "taxation". Only Allah سبحانه و تعالى decides which revenues are fair as well as who should pay them. Islam has its own unique system of revenue collection, including revenue from public properties, such as gas and oil, agricultural production, such as ushr and kharaj, and industrial manufacture through Zakah on goods, which will generate funds for looking after the people, without oppressing them.
Only the Khilafah will bring real change to the foreign policy throughout the Muslim World. The laws of Islam mean that the Khaleefah will close all embassies and consulates of belligerent states such as those of America, Britain, Israel, India and Russia, putting an end to the conspiracies which these enemy outposts hatch against the Muslims. Moreover, the Khilafah will seek to incite a global revolt by all non-Muslim states, from Panama and Venezuela to Thailand and Korea, against the Western colonialist oppression. And the Khilafah will call the entire world to the Truth and Guidance of Islam.
Only the Khilafah will bring real change in domestic policy. Democracy regards other Muslim Lands as foreign, insisting on separate currencies, lands, treasuries and armies. Whereas in the Khilafah, from the first day, the Khaleefah will work to unify all the Muslim lands, as the largest and most resourceful state in the world, a state whose army, Bayt ul-Maal, resources and lands will be one and whose Muslims will be gathered as one Ummah, regardless of race or school of thought.
The Khilafah will provide protection of life, property and honour to all of its citizens whether Muslims or non-Muslims. Non-Muslims will be allowed to practice their religion in personal matter including marriage and religious rites. Women are allowed to adopt a profession of their choosing in the fields of education, engineering, medicine, politics, media, judiciary, whilst observing the laws of Islam governing gender relations and dress.
Only the Islamic judicial system will bring justice by implementing the Islamic laws. Justice cannot be provided through the current judicial system, inherited from the British colonialist. In the current system, calling for the end of colonialist hegemony or the establishment of the Khilafah is a crime, punished by abduction by agencies or imprisonment, whilst protecting the colonialist presence is an obligation. Not paying Jizya or Kharaj is not a crime, whilst not paying interest may lead a person to jail. Even an independent judge is forced to follow these kufr laws. In the Khilafah, all are equal before the law and no one can claim immunity, even the Khaleefah himself. There would be no room for laws to protect the ruling elite, such as the NRO, as there is no legislator, except Allah سبحانه و تعالى.
And these are only a few of the blessed laws of Islam that the Khilafah will implement, soon, inshaaAllah!
