Foreign Policy: Khilafah Vs Capitalist Foreign Policy

• Fundamentals • Protecting the entity of the State and the Ummah

– Allah’s Ahkam vs National Interest• Facilitating the Call of Islam to other people

– Conveying the Call of Islam Internally – Conveying the Call of Islam Externally

• Conveying Da’wah• Manner of Conveying the Da’wah• Conveying the Call of Islam through Jihad

• Organizing relationships with other Nations/States– States in the Muslim World – non belligerent States– potentially Belligerent States– Belligerent States

• Who deals with the Foreign Affairs• Military pacts and Political treaties with other Countries• State’s Relationship with Organizations

• Judicial rights of non Muslim citizens (Zimmi) & Foreigners • Only Khilafah can provide Justice

Evidences1. The foreign policy is the State’s relationship with other states. This relationship entails looking after the foreign affairs of the

Ummah. The Islamic State’s foreign policy is based on a fixed concept that does not change. This is the propagation of Islam and the conveyance of the Message to every nation and every society. What actually makes the conveyance and spreading of Islam the basis of the foreign policy is the fact that the Message is addressed to the whole of mankind. Allah (SWT) says: “And we have not sent you (O Muhammad) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of men know not.” [Saba’, 34:28] Allah (SWT) also says, “O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord.” [Yunus,10:57] He (SWT) says,“Say, O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah.” [Al A’raf, 7:158] And He (SWT) says, “This Qur’an has been revealed to me that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach.” [Al-An’am, 6:19] He (SWT) also says, “O Messenger (Muhammad r)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message.” [Al-Ma’idah, 5:67]. The Messenger of Allah (saw) conveyed the Message to mankind, and when he (saw) died Islam continued to be carried by the Muslims. The conveyance of the Islamic Message is in fact the continuation of the work that the Messenger of Allah (saw) had initiated.

Foreign Policy:

The FundamentalsKhilafah Capitalism

• The Islamic foreign policy serves three major functions:

– To protect the entity of the State and Ummah (nation)

– To facilitate the Call (Da'wah) to other people

– To organize the relationships of the Islamic State with other nations

• Today’s capitalist nation are bound by– UN resolutions & International Law – Nation State theory & Co-existence– National Interest

• Conveying the Islamic da’wah is the core around which the foreign policy revolves, and upon which relations with other states are built 1

• Pakistani foreign policy revolves around protecting the interests of America and convincing the masses that the same is in their best “National Interest”.

• Pakistan lost $10 billion during Afghan war to facilitate US occupation

• US dictated foreign policy has completely eroded Pakistan’s sovereignty

• Khilafah will be a major player in world politics since it will be actively pursuing its primary goal of carrying Islamic Ideology to the whole world

Evidences1. Allah says in Qur’an: “Allah has forbid your friendship with those who fight you because of your deen, and drive you

from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in friendship they are oppressors” [TMQ 60:9]. “In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.” [an-Nisa:101] It is narrated by Ahmad and Nisai from Anas that Muhammad (SAW) said "Don't take the light from the fire of the disbeliever" In Arabic in this sense fire means their own weapons and military as a state or tribe. It is haram for Muslims to ask for defence by the kafr, because that will allow defending of Muslims and Muslim countries by the hand of kufr and it is not allowed for the kafr to have authority over Muslims. Allah (SWT) refers to this prohibition: “And Allah will never give the unbelievers any way (of authority) against the believers.” [TMQ; 4: 141] Hence Islamic State is not allowed to ask for protection from any kafir state.

2. Allah says in Qur’an: “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who takes them for friends is (one) of them.” [TMQ; 5:51] “. Abu Hamid As-Saeeda related that Muhammad (SAW) left Madinah until he arrived at Thaee-et al-Wada and a regiment was there and he said: "Who are they ?" The tribe of Bani Qaynuqa, the relative of Abdullah bin Salam. He said: "Do you accept Islam ?" They said "No" He said: "Leave, we don't take assistance from disbelievers". It is narrated by Ahmad and Nisai from Anas that Muhammad (SAW) said "Don't take the light from the fire of the disbeliever" In Arabic in this sense fire means their own weapons and military as a state or tribe. There other reported Ahadith which in which the Messenger (saw) did allow kafirs to fight along side Muslims as individuals or groups but only under the banner of Islam. Hence from all these Ahadith the Hukam is derived that, it is absolutely haram to enter into military pacts that allow kufar to protect Muslims or Muslim armies fighting under the command of the Kafirs. Similarly it is not allowed for kafir armies to fight along side Muslims with their own independent command and banner. Whereas other nations can only fight along with the Muslim armies if they are under the authority and command of the Islamic State without having their own banner i.e. separate independent entity.

Foreign Policy:

Protecting the entity of the State and the Ummah

Khilafah Capitalism• It is forbidden for the State to be under

the authority or protection of any other nation or state 1

• Allying with super or regional powers for protection

– SEATO & CENTO

• US never came to rescue Pakistan during ’71 war against their kafir brethren

• It is forbidden to form a confederation or enter into a military pact or political block where kuffar has the upper hand 2

• Other nations can fight under the banner and leadership of Khilafah. They are not allowed to have their own separate banner in the battle field

• Forming a block and confederation with Kafir states for protection. – Pakistani Prime Minster recently

called for forming a “Compact Block” with India

• Jamali’s “Compact Block” or Advani’s call for a confederation with India will lead to “Akhand Bharat”

Evidences1. The messenger of Allah made a no-war pact with Qureish-e-Makkah known as “Sulah Al-Hudaybiyah” which was for ten

years. Islamic State cannot enter into a pact with a kafir state which doesn’t have any time limitation.

2. The Muslim army has always been feared and respected. For centuries, Europe always held that the Muslim army could never be defeated. However, political maneuvers are essential, especially those which help to spread the Islamic concepts and demonstrate the power of the State before resorting to armed struggle. Although Jihad is the fixed method that never changes in the spreading of Islam, the political maneuvers and other deliberate moves are all part of preparation, and is essential prior to actual combat. It is an important matter designed at determining the relationship of the State with other states, people and nations, whether these were economic or based on good neighborly relations or any other basis that may help to spread Islam.

Foreign Policy:

Protecting the entity of the State and the Ummah

Khilafah Capitalism• State can make no-war pacts for

limited time without eroding its sovereignty 1

• State has to rely on its own military strength and political manoeuvring for the protection of its territories

• Reliance on the “Composite Block” to protect Pakistan

• This self reliance would force the state to work even harder to gain required Military and technological skills

• Reliance on India to protect Pakistan would pave the way for de-nuclearization, which Musharraf is already calling for

Evidences1. Allah (SWT) said: “The believers are nothing else than brothers” [TMQ 49:10]. The Messenger of Allah said (to the

nearest meaning): “The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, he does not do injustice to him nor desert him. ” And he said : “The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, he does not oppress him, forsake him nor hate him.” He said: “The believers to one another are like one solid structure where one part strengthens another .” And he said: “The similitude of the believers in their mutual love, compassion and sympathy is like that of a body: when one part hurts then the rest of the body calls out in sleeplessness and fever.” And he said: “The blood of the Muslims is one. The nearest as well as the furthest of them gives pledge of protection (to anyone) in their name. And they are one hand against the rest.” The Messenger of Allah wrote the constitution of Madinah shortly after the Hijrah which describes the state of the Muslims: “They are one Ummah to the exclusion of other people...the believers are helpers to each other to the exclusion of other people...the peace of the believers is one, a believer does not make peace excluding another believer in (the process of) fighting in the path of Allah.”

2. Allah (SWT) says: “And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war to put fear into the hearts of the enemy of Allah and your enemy.” [TMQ 8:60].

Foreign Policy:

Protecting the entity of the State and the Ummah

Khilafah Capitalism• Muslim Ummah being one body,

Khilafah is obliged to extend help and protection as much as she can to the Muslims living outside its frontiers 1

• To protect Muslims around the world the State must work to gather political and military strength

• Islam requires the State to be strong enough so that the enemy is terrified by it 2

• Muslim rulers consider UN Charter and its resolutions more sacred than Allah’s commands

• Musharraf’s doctrine of “Pakistan First” not only allows colonialist to kill Muslims but he is even provide them help to do so

• The idea of de-nuclearization and minimum deterrence stems from inward looking nation state mind set

• Pakistani forces are sent to fight in Sierra Leone, East Timor under UN instruction but kept in barracks during massacres in Bosnia, Iraq and Palestine

• During Ummavi Khilafah Muhammad bin Qasim came to India to rescue Muslims from Wilaya of Iraq

• The idea of De-nuclearization and minimum deterrence is a product of inward looking, weak foreign policy. Khilafah has to protect the Ummah hence it can never be satisfied by capability which would only protect its own frontiers

Evidences1. Human perception of benefit could be faulty but Ahkam Shari’ah are from the Creator Himself and can never lead to misery

or destruction. In reality it is in mans own benefit in this world as well as hereafter to submit to the Ahkam of Allah and leave his opinion. Allah says in Qur’an “But it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows and you know not.” (TMQ: 216)

Foreign Policy:

Allah’s Ahkam vs National Interest

Khilafah Capitalism• Khilafah’s foreign policy is dictated

by Ahkam and principles laid down by Shari’ah, not perceived “benefits” or “Interests” 1

• The ends doesn’t justify the means. • The state must honour all legitimate

pacts and contracts with other states as laid down in the Shari’ah

• The vague concept of “National Interest” provides the treacherous rulers the back door to help the enemy

– U-turn on Afghan and Kashmir policy

• The end justifies the means• Machiavellian politics have no morals

or principles

• “Pakistan First” cost Pakistan its sovereignty, loss of $10 billion, FBI storming houses, losing Shebaz Air Base and not to mention thousands of Muslim lives

• Even a weak Khaleefah would not be able facilitate the Kafirs because Islam has given very clear and distinct foreign policy laws which nobody can violate. Hence protecting the State and the citizens from colonial manoeuvring

Evidences1. When the Messenger of Allah (saw) sensed the strength of the State and her ability to carry the Da'awah internationally, he

dispatched twelve envoys simultaneously to twelve monarchs inviting them to Islam. When he (saw) was satisfied about the might of the State within the Arabic peninsula, and about the spread of the Da'awah among the Arabs and people started to embrace the Deen of Allah (swt) in droves, he (saw) looked towards conquering the Romans, hence the battles of Mu’ta and Tabuk. This also serves as evidence that carrying the Da’awah is an obligation upon the State and that it is her main task.

2. Evidence about the fact that carrying the Da'awah is an obligation is reflected in Allah's (swt) saying: "And this Qur'an has been revealed to so that I may warn you and with it and those whom it reaches." [T.M.Q; 6-19]. Besides, the Messenger of Allah (saw) was in a constant state of Jihad ever since he settled in Madinah until he (saw) departed this world; Jihad to him (saw) was the main activity. The rightly guided Khulafa’ came after him and followed on his footsteps, assuming Jihad as their main duty. Therefore, the evidence stipulating that carrying the Islamic Da'awah is the State’s main task is derived from the Sunnah and the Ijma'a of the Sahaba. Besides, the Messenger of Allah (saw) used to convey the Da'awah since Allah (swt) sent him as a Prophet until he departed this world. He (saw) was in Madinah the Head of State; since he settled in there, he made his foreign policy as the main activity and the State’s focus of attention and preoccupation; the activities undertaken ranged from raids, expeditions, intelligence gathering, signing treaties and the like. All these activities were for the sake of conveying Islam and carrying its Da'awah to all people.

3. Allah (SWT) has addressed all people with Islam in their quality as humans and nothing else. He (SWT) says; “O you people, a proof has come to you from your Lord, and we have revealed to you a shining light.” [TMQ An-Nisa’: 174] And He (SWT) also says; “O you people, I am the Messenger of Allah sent to all of you.” [TMQ Al- A’raf: 158]

4. Islam came to supperceed all Ideologies (deens). “It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Deen of Truth (Islam),to make it superior over all deens even though the Mushrikun hate it.” [TMQ 9:33]

Foreign Policy:

Facilitating the Call of Islam to other people

Khilafah Capitalism• Islam doesn’t believe in boarders

being sacred which the Islamic thoughts or armies cannot cross 1

• The state’s primary responsibility2 is to convey the Islamic Call to all non-Muslims which includes:

– Non-Muslims living within the Khilafah State

– Non-Muslims living outside the boundaries of the Khilafah State

• International Law & UN resolutions are to keep Muslims divided in statelets to make them weak

• On the contrary UN gives US the mandate to wage a war, as happened in Afghanistan; or grants legitimacy after the invasion, as was done in Iraq crisis

• Islam is an Ideology for the whole humanity3 and is the sole system which brings satisfaction and tranquillity to Muslim and Non-Muslims

• Islam doesn’t accept co-existence or compromise with falsehood and oppression4

Evidences1. Whilst other nations must be subjugated to the rule of Islam, the individual residing in a land opened by Islam must not be

forced t o become Muslim. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an “Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error; who ever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand - hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things”. (TMQ 2:256)

Foreign Policy:

Conveying the Call of Islam Internally

Khilafah Capitalism• The practical way of conveying da’wa

internally to non-Muslim citizens is to provide them with the opportunity of a prosperous life in an Islamic society so that they could experience the fruits of the just system

• There is no compulsion for them to accept Islam. They can stay non-Muslims if they chose to1

• Western nations implement capitalism on its Muslim subjects as well. In public and private a Muslim is obliged to follow the same laws as any other citizen.

• Christians of Roman Empire and polytheists of the Persian Empire accepted Islam very rapidly with free will once Islamic system was implemented over them

• It was because of the tolerance of Islam that we still find thousands of Christians living in the Arab world even today after Muslims ruled that land for approximately 1300 years, whereas on the contrary we don’t find native Spanish Muslims whilst Muslims ruled it for 800 years

Evidences1. The colonized countries without exception have their rights violated, resources plundered, and their will taken away. This

situation is constant. It is enough just to indicate how people of backward nations drown at sea and die in containers trying to come to the capitalist countries in order to be servants and labourers for the colonizers. Did this exist in the history of the Islamic conquests? Was anyone prevented from moving about within the state? Was a conquered land deprived of industry, agriculture and trade? Was an Indian prevented from living in Damascus or was a Turk prevented from living in Baghdad or an Armenian from opening a factory in Istanbul?

Foreign Policy:

Conveying the Call of Islam Externally

Khilafah Capitalism• Islam is conveyed to the World

through – Da’wah– Jihad

• West propagates Capitalism through media propaganda as well as colonization; as recently seen in Afghanistan and Iraq– They install people like, Al-Saud,

Hamid Karzai and Gen. Musharraf for the continuity of their colonial system

• Jihad is Mercy and Colonialism is Punishment 1

Evidences1. The scholars have stressed that it is unlawful for us to fight those who have not received the Islamic call. Thus, public

opinion about Islam, and the conveyance of a true image of Islam, together with attempts to allow the Islamic laws to reach the people in order to enable them to realize that Islam offers them a true salvation should precede any fighting. The Islamic State should undertake political work such as giving a clear picture of Islam and explaining its concepts, campaigning and advertising Islam.

Foreign Policy:

Conveying Da’wahKhilafah Capitalism

• Fighting the enemy would not become lawful until the call to Islam had been delivered to the people1

• Islam must be conveyed as an Ideology (Deen) not as a religion

• This is demonstrated by showing them a practical and workable example in the form of a model state i.e. Khilafah

• The west projects its value system using its media, cultural exchange programs, diplomatic means etc.

• UN and its subsidies are also used to propagate Capitalist value system such as freedoms, democracy, human rights etc

• Islam should be conveyed politically, connected with issues and problems faced by various societies and the world at large

• Anti-Capitalist and anti-Globalization demos show how miserably Capitalism has failed to solve peoples’ problems

• Today Capitalism is still accepted to a certain extent as a system because there isn’t any alternative system implemented today

Foreign Policy:

Manner of Conveying the Da’wah

Khilafah• One of the most important political methods is the manifestation of the greatness of

the Islamic thoughts in taking care of the affairs of individuals, nations and states– Disclosing the crimes of other states– Demonstrating the danger of erroneous politics– Exposing harmful conspiracies

– Destroying misleading personalities

• Various means and styles of Da’wah include:– High level debates and forums among the intellectuals – Projecting Islam through the media using TV, Cable, DVDs, internet etc– Diplomatic exchange – Allowing foreign students for studies– Promoting tourism

Evidences1. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) said: “Fight them until there is no more persecution (fitna), and the deen is (only) for Allah”

[TMQ 2:193]. Hence Allah is ordering us to fight until there is fitna

2. As man is not the Creator, his understanding of needs and instincts of the human being is limited and subject to error. As a result he would never be able to devise a system which would ensures complete satisfaction of human needs and instincts. Therefore inevitably all man-made system would be inherently oppressive (Zulm) as they would either burden man which he cannot bear or privilege him which he cannot handle. Allah (SWT) says in Qur’an: “Whosoever doesn't rule by what Allah has revealed, they are the Oppressors (Zalimoon).” [TMQ; 5:45] Jihad is a practical way of liberating people from the oppressive man-made system to the tranquillity of the system of the Creator.

3. The Messenger of Allah said (to the nearest meaning): “The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is the prayer and its highest peak is Jihad.”

Foreign Policy:

Conveying the Call of Islam through JihadKhilafah Capitalism

• Jihad is physically removing the political and military obstacle in the face of conveying the call of Islam 1

– Women, children and elderly are not harmed unless they are engaging in armed resistance

• Jihad is the practical way of helping non-Muslim experience Islam.

• Colonization is the method of expanding their domination and the domination of their companies

• Jihad allows the State to practically secure their rights of the people through the implementation of “just” laws of Islam

• There is no dignity for a woman. She is nothing but a symbol of sex

• Non-white individuals generally experience racism in America

• Through Jihad people are liberated from the oppression of man-made systems 2 to the tranquillity of Islamic society

• Today a common man is robbed off of his 30-35% of pay check under the name of taxes

• Jihad is the pinnacle of Islam3 and most effective way of securing “Hukuk al-Ibad” by holding the hand of the oppressor

Evidences1. The Messenger of Allah (saw) in which he was reported to have said: “I have been ordered to fight people until they

profess that there is no god but Allah. If they said it, their lives and their wealth would be inviolable to me, except that which is by right and Allah (swt) will hold them accountable.” Abu Dawood also reported on the authority of Anas Ibnu Malik who said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “..and Jihad has been ongoing since Allah sent me and will continue until the last generation of my Ummah fight the Dajjal; it shall not be disrupted by the tyranny of a tyrant nor by the justice of a just.” Hence tyrants like Musharraf would never be able to terminate Jihad or convince the Ummah to abandon it.

Foreign Policy:

Conveying the Call of Islam through Jihad

Khilafah Capitalism• Roman Christians and Persian

polytheists accepted Islam with free will once they were exposed to the system of Islam which was only made possible once their lands were opened through Jihad and the existing brutal regimes where eradicated

• Jihad will continue until the day of Judgment 1

• Colonialists ruled some parts of the Muslim world for more than a century but they were thrown out by the Muslims.

• In order to perpetuate our slavery they left their system and agents who deceived the common man in believing that Capitalism doesn’t contradict Islam and freedoms and democracy are part of Islam

• Now the time has come to throw away the colonial system and their agents and liberate Muslims from Capitalist oppression

Foreign Policy:

Organizing relationships with other Nations/Sates

Khilafah

• The Khilafah will have to organize her relationships with:– States in the Muslim World – non belligerent States– potentially Belligerent States– Belligerent States

Evidences1. The Islamic Ummah is one Ummah to the exclusion of all other people. Allah (swt) has made the sons of the Ummah as

brothers to each other linked together by the Islamic Aqeeda. He (swt) said: "The believers are nothing else than brothers." [TMQ 49:10] He (swt) made it obligatory upon them to be one unite as one entity which is the entity of the Khilafah state. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "If a Bay’a has been taken for two Khulafa, kill the latter of them." He forbade them to be torn into many entities. He (saw) said: "Whoever comes to you, when your affairs are united under one man, and he wishes to break your power or divide your community, then kill him."This is tantamount to the prohibition of dividing the State or allowing more than one state. Islam views those who don’t give bay’a to the Khaleefah as buga’ (rebels) and it would be the responsibility of the state to bring them under its authority either by diplomacy or by sowrd. Hence the relationship with them would come under “Internal Affairs” of the state rather than “foreign affairs”.

Foreign Policy:

Relationship with States in the Muslim WorldKhilafah Capitalism

• Muslim States who may not come under the authority of the Khilafah in the initial period of its establishment are dealt differently than the Non-Muslim States

• States in the current Islamic world are considered to belong to one state and, therefore, relationship with these countries are not included within the sphere of foreign affairs

• Khilafah will not have embassies in these states• Every effort should be expended to unify all these

countries into one state, which include:– Inviting the rulers to give Baya’ of allegiance – Persuading the masses and influential among those

states to uproot these puppet regimes and join with the Khilafah State

– Undertaking low risk military operations after gaining the support of the masses of those states

• Pakistan believes in Nation State hence recognize all other Muslim states as legitimate

• This policy of unification under one political entity gives Ummah the strength which she is lacking since the destruction of Khilafah in 1924

Foreign Policy:

Relationship with non belligerent StatesKhilafah

• Treaties such as economic, commercial, friendly or cultural are allowed with States such as Switzerland, Iceland, Holland, Panama etc.

• If the treaty states so, their subjects have the right to enter the State with an identity card without the need for a passport provided our citizens are treated in a likewise manner.

• The economic and commercial relations with such states must be restricted to specific items and specific characters which are deemed necessary

• Trade should be designed in such a way that it doesn’t result in strengthening of these states

• These laws allow the Khilafah to establish relationship with non-belligerent states and forge strong political blocks to isolate international hooligans such as the US and the UK etc

Evidences1. Islam divides the whole world into two spheres; Dar al-Islam and Daral-Kufr. Dar al-Islam (land of Islam) constitutes the

Islamic State (Khilafah) where the whole Islam is implemented and the authority is for Islam. Whereas all the land out of the authority of the Islamic State is Dar al-Kufr also know to be Dar al-Harb (Land of kufr) Dar al Harb (Land of war). Dar al Harb is divided into two categories; Dar al Harb Hukman (States which are virtually in war) and Dar al Harb Fa’lan (States which are actually in war). Dar al Harb Hukman (state virtually in war) are further divided into those who are non-belligerent states such as Greenland and potentially belligerent states. The imperial states which have practised exploiting domination over any part of the Islamic world and are still looking and planning to wage war if situation permit are seen as potentially belligerent states. Whereas Dar al Harb Fa’lan are the belligerent states, which are in actual war with the Muslims such as Israel, US, UK etc as they are physically fighting Muslims in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.

Foreign Policy:

Relationship with potentially Belligerent States

Khilafah Capitalism• States that have designs on the Islamic

State, like Russia, India are considered to be potentially belligerent states 1

• Khilafah will not have treaties with belligerent and potentially belligerent states

• All precautions must be taken towards them and it would be wrong to establish diplomatic relations with them

• The subjects of the potentially belligerent states may enter the Islamic State only with a passport and a visa specific to every individual and for every visit

• No such restriction on potentially belligerent states

• Pakistan is building two gas pipelines to strengthen Indian industry, as US wants contain China by making India the front line sate.

• Secures an Islamic State from potential enemies• There tourists/traders can take home memories of powerful Islamic

civilization as happened with the Europeans when they used to visit Qurtaba (Spain)

Evidences1. Before “Sulah al-Hudaibiya” the Islamic State was at war with the state of Makkah. Their trade routs were targeted and their

life and property were not protected. During this state of war there were not diplomatic, economic, cultural relationship with Quriesh.

Foreign Policy:

Relationship with Belligerent States

Khilafah Capitalism• For actually belligerent states, such

as Israel, US, Britain etc state of war would be taken as the basis for all dispositions with them

• They will be dealt with as if a real war existed between us

• No diplomatic, economic, cultural relationship would be allowed 1

• All their subjects are prevented from entering the State

• Pakistan calls US a friendly state:– Who offered us Soyabean Oil instead of F-16s– Her 7th fleet got lost in the Arabian Sea during

’71 war– She has strategic partnership with India and

Israel

• Pakistan government has reduced Pak Army to a watchdog for American interests

• All the above was done under the vague pretext of “National Interest” which is the corner stone of the Capitalist foreign policy

• In a Khilafah state even a traitorous Khaleefah cannot work for the interest of a belligerent state since the system forbids any relationship with it

• The current system allows the rulers to sell the whole Ummah for colonial interests

Foreign Policy:

Who deals with the Foreign Affairs

Khilafah Capitalism• Relations with foreign countries are

restricted only to the State, because the State has the sole right to practice taking care of the Ummah affairs

• The Ummah is to question and account the State in connection with undertaking of this task

• It is absolutely forbidden for any individual, party, group or association to have relations with a foreign state directly or through their embassies

• US ambassador and visiting diplomats meet freely with any politician they like

• Opens door for the colonialist to recruit/buy politicians who would work for their interests

• Khilafah system protects its political medium from infiltration• Current system is devised to give free hand to the colonialists

Evidences1. Abu Hamid As-Saeeda related that Muhammad (SAW) left Madinah until he arrived at Thaee-et al-Wada and a regiment

was there and he said: "Who are they ?" The tribe of Bani Qaynuqa, the relative of Abdullah bin Salam. He said: "Do you accept Islam ?" They said "No" He said: "Leave, we don't take assistance from disbelievers". It is narrated by Ahmad and Nisai from Anas that Muhammad (SAW) said "Don't take the light from the fire of the disbeliever" In Arabic in this sense fire means their own weapons and military as a state or tribe. There other reported Ahadith which in which the Messenger (saw) did allow kafirs to fight along side Muslims as individuals or groups but only under the banner of Islam. Hence from all these Ahadith the Hukam is derived that, it is absolutely haram to enter into military pacts that allow kufar to protect Muslims or Muslim armies fighting under the command of the Kafirs. Similarly it is not allowed for kafir armies to fight along side Muslims with their own independent command and banner. Whereas other nations can only fight along with the Muslim armies if they are under the authority and command of the Islamic State without having their own banner i.e. separate independent entity.

2. Allah says in Qur’an: “In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.” [an-Nisa:101] It is narrated by Ahmad and Nisai from Anas that Muhammad (SAW) said "Don't take the light from the fire of the disbeliever" It is haram for Muslims to ask for defence by the kafr or grant them bases because this will allow the kafr to have an authority over Muslims which is forbidden in Islam. Allah (SWT) refers to this prohibition: “And Allah will never give the unbelievers any way (of authority) against the believers.” [TMQ; 4: 141].

Foreign Policy:Military pacts and Political treaties with other

CountriesKhilafah Capitalism

• All military treaties and pacts, of whatever source, are absolutely forbidden.1 This includes– political treaties– agreements covering the leasing of

military bases and airfields 2

• It is permitted to conclude good-neighbouring, economic, commercial, financial, cultural and armistice (peace) treaties

• Pakistan was part of SEATO & CENTO pact yet US never came to rescue us against their kafir brethren during ’71 war

• Pakistan brags to be the frontline state in the “Crusade against Islam”

• During Afghan war Pakistan allowed– 57 thousand sorties from its air space

– 5 Air bases were handed over to US

– Suffered a loss of $10 billion

– Handed over more than 500 Muslims to the US

• Shahbaz Airbase is under US control• FBI can raid homes at will

Foreign Policy:Military pacts and Political treaties with other

Countries• Afghan and Iraq war could have been avoided if there were no political and

military treaties with the US

• Through military treaties and joint exercises the US not only learns our strategy of fighting rather she recruits and infiltrates into the military top brass. Milton Bearden, the former CIA chief in Sudan and Pakistan recalled before a congressional committee:

“Gen Pervez Musharraf is a member of the last generation of Pakistani army officers who remember the military partnerships of the past with the US. He was trained at Fort Bragg… Gen Musharraf may represent a last good chance to bring the powerful force of US values to bear on the course Pakistan will choose for the new millennium… I cannot stress how the ranks of the

Pakistan army below general officer level have changed in the decade since military- to-military contact between the US and Pakistan was terminated…”

Evidences1. Soon after the treaty of Hudaybiyah was signed between the Messenger of Allah (saw) and the Quraysh, the tribe of

Khuza’ah came under the protection of Allah’s Messenger (saw).

2. He (saw) signed treaties with the tribes encamped between Madinah and the Red Sea coast, such as Banu Damrah, Banu Mudlaj and others to form and enforce a blockade on the caravans of the Quraysh on their way to al-Sham.

Foreign Policy:

State’s Relationship with Organizations

Khilafah Capitalism• The State cannot be a part of any

organisation which is based on something other than Islam or which applies non-Islamic rules e.g.

– UN & International Court of Justice– International Monetary Fund & World Bank– Arab League & OIC

• The State will work to expose these organizations as tools of the colonialists

• Khilafah will sign treaties1 and extend protection2 to other non-belligerent states to form a block under its leadership

• Colonialist implement their agenda through these organizations as was seen in Iraq and Afghanistan

• Pakistani Rulers hide their treason behind UN resolutions

– Pakistan supported US in Afghan war– Pakistan is ready to send “Peace keeping”

troops to Iraq if UN asks them to do so

• UN resolutions were implemented with force in Iraq, East Timor but are totally neglected in Palestine, Kashmir etc

• By leaving these colonial bodies Khilafah will not isolate itself from the world community rather it will establish relationship with other countries on its own terms.

• This will protect the Islamic State from political pressure which the colonialists exert using these bodies.

• Institutions like OIC and Arab League de-track people from real unification and serve to legitimize US policies and demoralize the Ummah
