Lybia - The Islamic Verdict by Shaykh Omar Bakri Muhammad

Sincere advice to the Muslims in Lybia on how to change the situation according to the Qur'an & Sunnah (according to the understanding of the Sahabah)

Introduction

After the great News that Allah (SWT) got rid of the Taghout and enemy of Islam and the Muslims Muammar Gaddafi, we give all praise for Almighty Allah (SWT) alone, the Lord of the worlds.

There is no animosity except against the oppressors and occupiers and victory is for the Muttaqeen (the pious). I bear witness that there is no one truly worthy of worship except Allah, the one who sent his Messenger with guidance and the Deen of truth, in order to make the Deen prevail over all others, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His messenger, the slave of Allah, the Prophet of mercy and the prophet of war, to whom Allah granted victory through terrorising his enemy, from one month's distance and who designated his provision under the shade of his spear and decreed humiliation and destruction for the one who disobeys His orders.

After the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan the hidden agenda of the French, UK and American governments and their alliance in Lybia has become clear for all, whether they are near to or far from the region. This agenda is the suppression of Islam and promotion of non-Islamic law i.e. democracy, freedom and Secularism. This is manifested in the speeches of Sarcozy, Cameron and Obama who could not keep their intentions secret.

It is natural to hear that the Kuffaar (i.e. the non-Muslims) are against the believers because the animosity of the Kuffaar towards Muslims is a divine tradition which will always remain, as Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an:

"...And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your Deen (Islam) if they can..." [EMQ 2: 217]

The divine wisdom of Allah (SWT) necessitates that the believers will be tested by the disbelievers, and the disbelievers will be tested by the believers, in order for those who will obey him and fight for his sake, to prevail. The one who declines and allies with the disbelievers, following their path, will be doomed in hellfire, for Allah (SWT) says:

"If Allah wished, you would be victorious over them, but (he lets you fight) in order to test some of you with others. But those who are killed in the way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost." [EMQ 47: 4]

Therefore we must not be surprised that the disbelievers are planning to destroy Islam and Muslims, because that is one of their main tasks, even though it is impossible for them to achieve, because their plot will always be exposed until the day of judgement. As Allah (SWT) says:

"We will test you in order to see who the Mujaahid among you is and who are firm ..." [EMQ 47: 31]

Nobody can argue about the animosity of the disbelievers towards the believers, and their plot against them, except the ignorant i.e. those whose opinion is meaningless. However, what is surprising is to see so-called Muslims going astray having been misled by those who are impressed with the disbelievers and their plots, and surely nobody is impressed by the disbelievers but the ignorant.

Part of the ignorance and apostasy we see is that Muslims ally with the disbelievers and join their forces. They spend time and effort in order to stand with the disbelievers and to harm Muslims in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Lybia and in Palestine etc...

Those who rule by other than Islam are non-Muslims

Anyone who rules and judges other than by Islamic law i.e. the Shari'ah is an apostate for:

(i)Ruling by other than what Allah (SWT) has revealed as Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an:

'Whoever rules and judges by other than what Allah (SWT) has revealed is a kaafir'[EMQ 5:44]

and also if they decide to side with the French, UK and US then:

(ii) Siding with the non Muslims who are fighting against Islam and Muslims as Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an:

'Whoever allies with them (supports non-Muslims against Muslims) is one of them' [EMQ 5:51]

Call for action:

We hereby urge all Muslims in Lybia with any authority or dignity to hand authority to the Ulema of Lybia in order to implement the Khilafah, the only ruling system allowed by the Shari'ah i.e. Islamic Law, just as the Ansar handed authority to the Messenger Muhammad (saw) when he first established the Islamic State in Madina.

It is clear that putting our affairs into the hands of secularists will never bring Islamic law to Lybia rather it will continue the hegemony of Man-made law conveniently cloaked in the guise of such sound-bites as "Islamic Democracy" and "constitutional Reform".

Lybia does not require democracy (i.e. Law by man over man) but a revolution which eradicates all law emanating from any Man-made source, to be replaced by one leader managing the affairs of the people, both Muslim and non-Muslim exclusively in accordance with divine law. It is inconceivable that a government which bases itself on irreligious principles and democracy could ever find itself in a position to declare itself an Islamic state the very antithesis of its illegitimacy as a government dedicated to its own profane existence as a secular state.

Enough is enough, let us be rid of these liars and oppressors once and for all.

Take the following action immediately:

• Cease all embassies and foreign ambassadors immediately whether they belong to Western dictatorial regimes or other countries
• Reject any intervention from foreign government or international bodies such as the UN, OIC, EU, NATO etc...
• Declare any constitution of Lybia null and void and the supremacy of the Shari'ah alone as a khilafah system of government
• Do not aim your weapons at your Muslim brothers and do not target civilians rather aim your weapons at the occupying forces and whoever stands in the way of implementing the rule of Allah.
• Declare the removal of all borders and the invitation to all Muslims to become citizens of the khilafah i.e. the Islamic State. Unite the Muslim land of Tunisa, Algeria, Sudan and Egypt etc... to be the precursor of greater unity under the Khilafah.
• Give authority to those to whom it rightly belongs. Let the Muslims through the general assembly of the U'lama (Juristic Islamic scholars) elect a brave Khalifah to rule by what Allah has revealed and who you know will declare Jihad against the enemies of Allah, his Messenger and the Muslims and who will rule according to the way of the Khulafah Rashidoun.
• Carry the Islamic message to the entire world, we are an Ummah which lives so that we can carry the message unlike other Nations who survive without any mission.

Significant steps in the changes to the law and order of Lybia

The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said: "Whoever sleeps without caring about the affairs of the Muslims is not one of them" and Allah (swt) says:

"Let there rise from among you group(s) calling society to Islam, commanding society to do what Allah orders and to refrain from what he forbids..."[EMQ 3:104]

The highest good being to call to implement the Tawheed of Islam and the highest evil being to associate partners with Allah (SWT) by not implementing Islamic law. The Messenger Muhammad (saw) ordered us to give sincere advice to those in positions of authority and said: "Deen is advice" to which the Sahabah replied: "To whom, O Rasoul Allah?" and He said: "For Allah and his Messenger and for the rulers and the general public"
Islam is the only correct ideology which Allah (swt) has ordered us to rule and to govern our lives with. Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an:

"Rule between them by whatever Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires"[EMQ 5: 49]

Therefore we have decided to take the initiative and to offer you the Islamic constitution which has been studied by intellectual Muslim scholars and experts in Islamic law who have derived its articles from the Qur'an and the Sunnah of The Messenger Muhammad (saw) in order that you may study it, adopt it and implement it and so that you may lead Lybia out from its domination by Kufr into its domination by Islam.
Due to the fact that there is not enough space here for more details we have summarised the Islamic project for you below which we urge you to read. We are willing to meet you and to discuss with you all its details and evidences and to elaborate on how to implement it. The first step you must take is to abolish all the existing constitution and to implement the Islamic constitution which is summarised below.
Here is a summary of the essential action that must be taken at different levels, whether ruling, economic, social, internal or external, including national security:

At the level of the ruling system:

• Abolish the national title of Lybia and declare the establishment of the Khilafah.
• Actively seek to appoint a Khalifah for the Muslims world-wide immediately
• Declare that sovereignty is for the Shari'ah alone and not for the people.
• Establish a Consultation Council for the people whose job it is to consult and to give advice and not to legislate.
• Abolish all governors, ministers and MP's and appoint new assistants, governors and Judges and a new Chief of Staff, all to be under the new Khalifah's direct control.
• Seize the activities of all non Islamic parties.
• Consider any Muslims who come to Lybia to live there as citizens of the Islamic State.
• Abolish secularism, liberalism, Western democracy, socialism and capitalism all to be replaced by Islam alone.

At the level of the Economic system:

• Declare responsibility for the national debt (excluding any interest) but delay the time to meet and discuss repayment proposals as much as you can.
• Make the basis of currency Gold and Silver which will lead to the destruction of the Dollar and so called 'hard currency', the Dollar will collapse as the basis for currency which will also lead to the eradication of inflation and it will fix the value of currency

At the level of the Foreign Policy:

• Close all foreign embassies on a temporary basis until you establish a relationship with foreign non-Muslim countries based on Islam.
• Reject to be subservient to any country such as America, Britain or France etc...
• Close the embassies of all Muslim countries and reject to recognise the government of any Muslim country.
• Deal directly with Muslims worldwide and support them as citizens in order to overthrow their illegitimate governments and to unite Muslim land within one Islamic State under the leadership of the Khalifah.
• Sever any relationship with any countries occupying any part of Muslim land and take a stance of war with such occupiers.
• Stand against international organisations such as the United Nations and the OIC exposing the policies of the Western imperialistic powers and their organisations.
• Avoid being part of the United Nations or any other imperialistic communities.
• Withdraw membership of Lybia from the United Nations and declare it with all its organs an illegitimate body

At the level of the War policy:

• Cut all relationship with the UN and NATO and abolish the presence of any American, British, French or non-Muslim forces in Lybia.
• Avoiding giving or granting any facilities, whether air, land or sea to America or its allies.
• Establish a heavy artillery industry in Lybia and avoid depending on importing weapons or ammunition from abroad.
• Make the security of the Muslims and Muslim land in the hands of Muslims under Islam and not in the hands of any kufr law or kafirs (non-Muslims).
• Abolish any defence treaties signed with any non-Muslim countries and avoid participating in any agreement of defence or military commitment such as signing the consent of ceasing further nuclear projects etc...

At the level of the Education policy:

• Make the basis of the National curriculum the Islamic belief and its Shari'ah in all schools, colleges and universities in order to form the Islamic personality for every individual.
• Make the main language of the Islamic State the Arabic language, and the Arabic language must be the primary language for all students to enable them to understand the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
• Close all foreign schools and make the National curriculum solely binding upon all private and state schools.
• Make education concentrate on topics which will produce doctors, engineers, scientists, computer experts, nuclear physicists and biologists etc...and avoid wasting time teaching Muslims necessary information such as psychology, theology, art, dance, music, hypothetical philosophies and foreign languages.
• Eradicate any magazines, videos, audio, photographs, books or any other medium which contains material which contradicts with Islam or displays, broadcasts or prints any pornography or Western culture.
• Control the media, newspapers, radio, televisions and satellite dishes so that they become tools to propagate the truth and help educate or culture society on the basis of Islam.
• Close down all free mixing theatres, cinemas and places that propagate kufr ideas or indecent culture or material etc...
• Education must be available and free of charge for every man and woman.

At the level of the Social system:

• Abolish all civil marriages and let the Nikah be the only marriage practice.
• Let all divorces be dealt with in accordance with the Shari'ah law.
• Establish segregated schools for boys and for girls.
• Allow women to work for their living within the bounds of the Shari'ah.

• Distribute inheritance in accordance with Islamic law.
• Close down all nightclubs, pubs, discos, bars or any intimate venues.
• Prevent businesses from using the femininity of women in any work or in any advert.

At the level of the Judicial system:

• All the judiciary must be based solely on Islam.
• All courts must be called Shari'ah courts thereby abolishing the supreme courts, the military courts and the civil courts and replacing them by the Islamic courts.
• The penal system must be based on Islam and nothing else
• Make sure that the original rule that every person is innocent until proven guilty is observed.
• Abolish the interrogation system based on any form of torture, physical harassment or assault upon any person under any circumstances

These are the main guidelines about the systems of life, which need to be observed and implemented in order to please Allah (swt) and which will guarantee the happiness, the tranquillity and the dignity of man. They will lead to the elevation of man and to the revival of the Muslims and the Islamic State in order for it to carry Islam to the world and to dominate the entire world by Islam so that it forms the Islamic world order where Muslims and non Muslims will live under the eyes of the world wide Islamic State and be citizens regardless of their religion, colour, race and language. Allah (swt) said:

"You are the best Nation ever raised for Mankind because you command good and forbid evil and believe in Allah and the hereafter"[EMQ 3:110].

Indeed we are an Ummah of Jihad and beyond doubt we have been chosen by God to lead the whole world if we hold to his command i.e. His revelation. SMay Allah (SWT) be witness that we called you to fulfil your duty of establishing the Khilafah and to bring an end to all those working as spies, police, soldiers, ministers and politicians for the Taghout.

Oh Allah, be the witness that we have conveyed the message.
