I used to be a hindu and then became an atheist but neither hinduism nor atheism made any sense to me. After intensive and thorough research, I found the truth in Islam and accepted it, Alhamdulillah !!

Even a start-up company has CEO. Point to me a FORTUNE 500 company without a CEO. When it comes to money these people recognise the importance of long-term leadership, direction and devotion, but when it comes to running the affairs OF THE LARGEST RELIGIOUS GROUP IN THE WORLD. People are suddenly like "oh there's no need for leadership". Either they're evil or ignorant. How many Muslims have been murdered since our last Caliph? How many lands invaded? How many injustices have we faced. We believed the rhetoric of the hypocrites once, look where it took us. Never will we believe it again.

Alhamdulillah this channel is growing. The last few videos released have been very interesting contemporary topics addressing key issues in the Islamosophere. Keep up the good work.

This conversation is a testament to the thought-provoking content that The Thinking Muslim continues to produce. Dr. Uthman Badar's insights on the notion of a caliphate, and its relevance in our contemporary era of nation-states, were nothing short of enlightening. As Muslims, our faith guides us through the complexities of modern society, and these kinds of discussions, though challenging, are crucial for our intellectual and spiritual growth. Dr. Badar's scholarly perspective, backed by his deep understanding of Philosophy and Islamic studies, shines a fresh light on the issue. His analysis of a post-nation state system to resolve some of the most pressing challenges faced by the Muslim ummah offers a unique perspective. This indeed stirs the thought that even if the world is moving towards individual nation-states, there might still be room for unified efforts under a spiritual banner to address these intractable problems. As we navigate these complicated times, we should indeed consider all options, utilize our resources, and channel our potential for the betterment of the ummah. The dialogue Dr. Badar initiates here sparks contemplation and shows us the importance of engaging in such discourse. Looking forward to more of such enlightening content from The Thinking Muslim. Peace and blessings to all. 🌙✨ Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh

May Allah bless us with a re established Islamic society in our lifetime, and a caliphah that can govern. Ameen.

Follow you from Somalia. May Allah Bless you to become the voice of today's voiceless, the Muslim Ummah.

ما شاء الله هذه القناة تنقل رأي الشارع الاسلامي بين الحكومات الاسلاميه ❤❤ بارك الله فيكم و حماكم بإذنه

Been watching you for a while now. Appreciate the very well informed guests. You definitely have made yourself stand out from the rest of the Islamic podcasts

It's one of the best youtube channels. And also wonderful topics that are chosen must have to be applauded

It is right that an intelligent person does not undervalue three [types of people]: the scholars, the rulers, and [his Muslim] brothers. Whoever undervalues the scholars will lose his afterlife, whoever undervalues the rulers will lose his worldly life, and whoever undervalues his brothers loses his good character and conduct.

The Messenger of Allah, The Prophet Muhammad a.s has said : Allah will help to bring a renewal for this religion of islam every 100 years This is a narration from a 15th century earlier than our time now and which I support to actualize in the modern world

love your videos, just a recommendation can you do a video about muslim brotherhood and its fall

May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!

Really good topic, i think the idea has started to become a secondary issue in the minds of the Muslims, and should fill a higher level in our efforts

I wish Dr Uthman Badar would be come the ummah caliphate InshaAllah.

Much needed Intellectual discussions. Some points very beautifully constructed & explained by Br. Uthman.

One of the most burning topics of our times...more aspects could have been discussed..cheers 🎉

This is quickly turning into one of the foremost channels in ummatic thinking in the English language, keep up the great work 😊

Muslim Feminists: Khadija was an empowered businesswoman, and Aisha was a university professor and a teacher for men. We must follow the example of the mothers of the believers. {And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance...} ال{وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَى... "Muslim" Feminists also: No, we don't have to follow this orders. It is not ours; It is for mothers of believers only.

Muslim PhD student in economics here. Waiting for your research grants so I can apply lol

Excellent well balanced discussion. JazakAllahokhairun

Excellent discussion - جزاك الله خيرا

Brother Uthman good to hear you again. I fail to understand why Muslims don’t see Afghanistan where the . لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱلله flag is flying start point. Help the country to proper because only place in this earth today 100% islam is being practiced. The meaning of Allahumma arinal haqqa Haq is O Allah! show us the truth as true, and inspire us to follow it. Show us falsehood as falsehood, and inspire us to abstain from it.

Baarakallahu feekum

Let me make this entire video simple. Answer is no, we cant live proper islamically without a caliphate

Please invite someone from Hezb Tahrir since they are largest group of Muslims with a lot of supporters and very intellectual personalities. The are working for Caliphate

Thank you!

Love the show but this type of topics always leaves me perplexed because remains so theoretical at the end of the day despite the goodwill of the honorable guest(s)

Mashallah you got our brother from downunder utman badar mashallah

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to some of the speakers opinions, which were not hard hitting unrealistic caliphate evangelism. I do think the question of Fard Kifaaya needs to be widely understood. It's unfair to place responsibility on the mother drowned in debt and children or the illiterate worker doing just enough to feed his family. The repsonbility falls upon those who are in such positions, then those who are capable, then those around them to engage and pretest change. We often say the whole community is to blame, relinquishing repsonbility from the Ulema and Muslim leaders. We owe them our allegiance but not a blueprint.

We never had a united Muslim role except during the tone of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and the khilafah-e-rashideen upon whom Allah is pleased. And even the last ottoman one was dystopic with Ottoman putting mentally deficient relatives under house arrest. The tanzinat reforms. Mu'awiyyah upon whom Allah is pleased rebellion against Ali upon whom Allah is pleased. The Seljuks and Ayubids. There have always been multiple Muslim dynasties at the same time that were distinct from each other. The best way to go is an EU type union

.... and then there will be Khilafah upon the Prophetic method.’ Then he ﷺ was silent.” Its not about if, its about when. Soon, insha Allah.

عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما ، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إنَّ اللهَ لاَ يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ انْتِزَاعاً يَنْتَزعهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلكِنْ يَقْبِضُ العِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ العُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِماً، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤُوساً جُهَّالاً، فَسُئِلُوا فَأفْتوا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأضَلُّوا» This hadith sums up my thoughts on this video. What a sad state of affairs we are in. Islam is simple to understand and those with deep knowledge don't confuse while explaining it. A clear sign of someone who doesn't have understanding is he confuses, in my opinion. The hadith states, my translation, "the Prophet SAW said verily Allah SWT doesn't seize knowledge by removing it from the people but instead he seizes it by taking the souls of those with knowledge until the people take ignorant people as their heads, they then make verdicts without knowledge there upon people are miss guided and miss guide others." It not that people don't have knowledge around at that moment, just that no one takes them seriously and people start taking wafflers too seriously and ignoring those with knowledge, after those who were scholarly (knowledgeable) and recognized as scholars passed. SAD

Br. Jalal, you need to interview sh.Usta on the obligation of a Caliphate.

Interesting 🎉

Allah said : " I will create a Khalifa " The Glorious Qur'an That was the will of Allah and what a wonderful virtue it is to become a Khalifa to the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him

❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹

We need caliphate Have any of you seen what happened between Russian and Ukraine or Germany and alliance forces Muslims are fighting each other 😢

Asalaamualiakum wrbtu Would it be correct to think that a Caliphate comes into existence and is maintained by the Shariah being given the force of law and implemented.

This needs to be translated and reach everyone

The most frequently expressed complaint men have about women is that, women are always trying to change them. When a woman loves man, she feels responsible to assist him growing, try to help him improve the way he does things. She forms the home improvement committee and he becomes her primary focus. No matter how much he resist her help, she persists. Waiting for an opportunity to help him or tell him what to do. She thinks she's nurturing him while he feels he's being controlled, instead he wants her acceptance. The most frequently expressed complaint women have about men is that men don't listen. Either man completely ignores her when she speaks or he listens for few beats, assesses what bothering her and then he proudly puts on his mr fix-it hat and offer her a solution to make her feel better. No matter how many times she tells him that he's not listening, he doesn't get it and he keeps doing the same thing. She wants empathy. He thinks she wants solutions.

Short answer No, long answer Noo

"I'm trying to avoid is to say well everyone can do whatever they're good at but then that leaves some things undone so there doesn't be sufficiency yeah and that may require in some cases people to um push themselves to do something they may not otherwise have done." ....CaliphucNO

I strongly believe that it is imperative for me as a Muslim to challenge the current unbelieving nations and their leaders with the best arguments of the Glorious Qur'an to prove them that Allah is still Greater and still Merciful towards them and at the same time I would unite my sheep

Sirs, caliphates mean muslim fighting muslims. And now there will be 50 + caliphates,so it is going to be real grand spectacle.

I do not see a global caliphate possible in the times we live in. But if there was a global caliphate (just like the Vatican of the Catholics), it would be very useful, this institution could prevent the confusion and disorder in the Islamic world.

Work Whit Hizbut Tahrir to establish the Khilafah

Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). (Surah an-nur verse 55 - 24:55)

When the Yahud wanted a King Allah choose " Saul " the distinctive Qualities he had, is what a khaliff should possess, Allah knows Best

When the Abbasid Caliph was under permanent house arrest under his own semi-pagan Turkic slaves, what was the point of the Caliph? Or when the qaramita managed to sack Makkah, steal the black stone, shatter it and keep it for 21 years, while the Caliph al Muqtadir was too busy with wine, music and the harem to actually bother governing. Resulting in the restoration of alMutadidto be replaced with feudalism. Allowing the Shia daylamite mountain tribes to make the Caliph their puppet, followed by the semi-pagan nomadic Turks from the Aral sea for over a century. And the Fatimids and Cordoba made their own caliphates, diluting the title. And al Mamun a so called 'Sunni' Caliph was a Shi'ite Mutazilite. Under some Umayyad Caliphs atrocities were committed against the family of the prophet... Many other caliphs were men of no moral standing... What is the point of a faasiq, drunkard, potentially homosexual (Walid ii, Al Amin) who knows so little about Islam, being the head of the Muslim world? When Salahudin took Egypt he took the title of Khaadim alHaramain ashSharifayn. And he ensured his Hajj delegation entered Makkah before the Caliphs. Clearly showing the lack of concern for the Caliph. The Caliph, "head of the Muslim world" also sent almost no support whatsoever to fight against the Crusaders, despite having ousted the Seljuks from Iraq. If he isn't helping against Crusaders, far worse than Israel, What's the point of him? Then the Mongols killed the Caliph, with nobody coming to his aid, depsite his pleas. Then the Mamluk slaves created a Cairo Caliphate. However he was more powerless then ever. Only brought out when the Mamluks needed him for a slight legitimacy boost. While the Mamluk sultans kept Khaadim alHaramain for themselves, showing they viewed that title as more important. There is dispute how and when the Ottoman took the title of Caliph. And even then they rarely used the title, mainly against the Moroccans who disregarded the Ottoman claim, since teh Moroccans were Sharifan. The title only really began to be used after the Ottomans lost Crimea in 1774. But the modern concept comes more from Abdulhamid ii attempt at uniting the Muslim world against the colonists. Finally the fall of the Caliphate left a hole in the Muslim world. Leading to a recent Caliphate resurgence within Muslim minds. But ever since the Anarchy at Samarra in 861, the Caliph was weak and powerless. And ever since the end of the Mihna, the Caliph lost all religious/judicial power to the scholars. I feel like many of us have a very naïve concept of Caliphate.

It's ironic how the madkhalis fulfil the trait of the true khawarij, 1) they'll be from our ppl 2) harsh against the Muslims merciful towards the kufar 3) the Quran doesn't leave their throats..

Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allāh. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they will be gathered. Qur'aan [8:36]

Allah said to David the King of Israel : " O David ! We have appointed you as a Khalifa over mankind.." The Glorious Qur'an

He was aksed a simple question that how can an ordinary Muslims perform his duties towards the fard al ayn and uthman response was very vague that he shoukd fulfill their communal obligations. Doesn't that sound too vague. This has been the problem with people like uthman badar provoating unicorn approach like caliphate in today's time and age but they don't have any experience or way forward for practicality

I'd also be interested in considering the takeover of lands by Muslims in the past for example when Jerusalem fell Saladin took it 100 years later. He was present at the right time at the right place with the right set of conditions so he was able to take it. This is not taking anything away from him but it wasn't just one man. The Ottoman state came together in 1299 and the ottomans conquered constantinopal a 150 years later. It wasn't a one day job. They failed miserably many times so we mustn't think in the short term we mustn't think of establishing Khalifa within 10 years or 20 years. You can also argue the fact that since Jerusalem was under the the Muslim Mamluks, it gave further rise and power to the ottomans as they did not have to worry about concrete already conquered lands. Likewise we should work on expanding by piecemeal, e.g. Supporting pakistan, Turkey and the likes.

Calipha = King = Ruler = Administrator. Main problem is our own ability to divide ourself. And our disability to UNITE AS MUSLIM . We need no other title , as Salaf, Sufi,Shia, Ahmadi or Alawi , all we need is one title of MUSLIM . Our ultimate goal must be to work unitedly with Muslims and with Christians, Jews and Hindus . Just like it was done in Iraq and Spain .

*We can all agree that these matters should be handled by scholars. I have a sincere question though... What if we live in a world where prominent scholars are being jailed merely for speaking haqq and advising the rulers? Why are you not recognizing this current problem?**It's been three years since Sheikh Fahd al-Qadi died in Saudi prison due to medical negligence by the authorities.* Sheikh al-Qadi was arrested in 2016 because of a PRIVATE letter of advice he sent to the Saudi Royal Court in which he described violations committed by the Ministry of Education. He was known for his work with the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. *He was sent to prison because he advised the ruler PRIVATELY! What will Madkhalis say next? Advise the rulers in your hearts and dreams.*

Prophethood shall remain amongst you for as long as Allah wills. He will then cause it to end. Then Khilafat will be established in the precepts of prophethood which will last for as long as Allah wills. He will then cause it to end. Oppressive kingship will follow [which will inflict great pain and misery on its subjects]. Its rule will last for as long as Allah wills. He will then cause it to end. After this, tyrannical monarchy will follow. Their rule will last for as long as Allah wills. Allah will then cause it to end. Khilafat will then be re-established in the precepts of Prophethood. Thereafter, the Holy Prophetsa became silent [and added no more comments]. Mishkat al-Masabih, Kitab al-Riqaaq

The Ahmadis have had a khalifah for over a hundred years and progressed far more, relatively speaking, than the other 72 sects. The general Muslims are debating something that is glaringly obvious and apparent. May Allah guide us all.

A caliphate is a political system that adheres to the full implementation of Islamic laws and tenets. The sovereignty in this systems doesn't belong to a king or institution or a person, but it only belongs to Allah/God being the only legislator. Sharia give us details about how the rulers should govern, and the rulers are checked and balanced by the Scholars/Ulama, that his legitimacy as a ruler comes only from how he follows the Islamic laws and tenets. If the rulers violate such tenets he may impeached by Ulama/Scholars whom also reflect the public sentiments about this ruler. In the modern nation state, the sovereignty belongs to the king, like Britain, or people like popular democracy which delegated sovereignty representatives whom composed of individuals or groups. When sovereignty belongs to a king or representatives regardless of how much check and balance measures you have, it can easily be manipulated or corrupted or co-opted, but you cannot co-opted institutions or laws that directly comes from Allah/God, because, you cannot violate or change Allah legislation without being ousted. The atheist secular state of Britain just crowned its king with medieval period ceremony, and no one objected or said a word, so a Caliphate isn't out of fashion. Also, Britain still have power over the British commonwealth. So, why Muslims shouldn't have theirs own state, especially for being a religious conservative community that won't accept the liberal materialistic degenerate agenda. The future of the nation state is uncertain, what next is the Civilizational-based state or ungoverned spaces, I suggest to read The Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington and Foundations of Geopolitics by Aleksandr Dugin for more political imagination. The global warming and its calamities will impede the ability of the current nation state to impose control everywhere creating an opportunity for Muslims around the world to create their own state. So, yes Muslims won't survive without a state that represent them globally.

Uthman we are coevals.. What are you saying.. My brother..

Exactly the type of discussion needed in this day and age; very informative

*The secular West’s double standards are glaringly evident from how they deal with “irrationality”. When this so-called irrationality is linked with religion it’s a problem. However, when it comes to things like “gender fluidity” it’s completely fine. Another example that can be mentioned is how the “clairvoyant” Edgar Cayce was extremely popular during the early 20th-century.* And it’s the same story when it comes to aliens. The secular West, unable to fight its innate tendency to believe in the ghayb, proposes the likely existence of a non-human species which could communicate with our world - the same way Muslims believe in the jinn! Of course all of this is done in the name of their own religion: science. They even have their own priests in the form of astrobiologists etc. This belief of theirs is of the same nature as ours, even if they try and add some pseudo-empiricist spice: there may be tangible elements pointing towards the existence of aliens. They fail to grasp how we too say there are “tangible elements” regarding the influences of the jinn within our world.*

boost

Last 60 yrs the left over of khalifa. Have failed in science economic and all type of growth,, compared to other community. Hence today khalifa is outdated idea. Let muslim have healthy competition among themselves.

CHRIST IS KING!!!

What about the Hadith says ' there will be Khulefai Rashidun 30 years after me then Kings will come.." Caliphate cannot be a single person, it can only be a committee selected by all muslims around the world. Not only the muslim majority nations, but also the muslim minority in the western countries must have a say. We know from history after Ali B. Abi Talib RA, bulk of the rulers of islamic states did not deserve the title of 'imam al adil' So the fate of Ummah can not be decided by a single person. First of all, this is impossible! any effort to establish this kind of caliphate will just divide ummah ! Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran , all of them claim that it is their right to be the leader of Ummah and it seems that none of them will obey the other.. The only way is that Mulim nations and representatives of muslims in western countries must raise their voice to be more effective in OIC and it can be used as a platform to promote a fairer world.

Can you invite Mehdi Hasan

"The problem isn't that he said "it's better to marry young". It's that he said, "women age like milk". That's just a horrible thing to say to a woman. Why could he not approach it with care like the Prophet (saw) would?" ****** ****** ****** Oh no! Are women's feelings hurt?!!! Are they going to cry?!!! Oh heavens noo! ANYthing but that!!! Nooooooooo!!!!!! You're right. We should approach things with care like the Prophet ﷺ, like when he said, "Women are the majority in hell," and, "I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)."

Secularism means " shirk " in Arabic meaning partnership And the secularists are " Mushrik " in Arabic meaning they who ascribe partners to Allah in worship That is because the law making process of secular democratic constitutional states that they do not accept legal offerings from the Qur'an Their laws and law making process is driven from their founding fathers and alike like the Napoleon's code of which many European nations follow Your Lord Allah advises you as follows ; The Pilgrimage , Chapter 22 , Revealed at Al-Madinah by The Holy Spirit ( Angel Gabriel) to the Prophet Muhammad in the early 7th century : In the name of Allah The Beneficent The Merciful : 31. Turning unto Allah only , not ascribing partners unto Him ; for whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah , it is as if he had fallen from the sky and the birds had snatched him or the wind had blown him to a far - off place . The Glorious Qur'an

Short answer: no. Long answer: no.

The Muslims. The worshippers of Allah desperately need a leader. That can be a country. Pakistan had the location and population, but it’s an embarrassment for every Muslim. Maybe one day when Israel collapses, Egypt could give hope.

To think that deliverance will come with Caliphate is a very misguided and unislamic proposition.

If you say you are muslims. Then wear only islamic Dress. Dont grow mustache and manditory to overgrow your beards. And always chant jhikarullah every 2 minutes

The answer is no. There are events and happenings in the Glorious Qur'an that have taken place in the world after the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad a.s and His legacy , I have proofs of such in verses , like the invention of the motor car , industry, technology, landing on the moon ,copernicus , space exploration which are mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an You need a Khalifa

With nationalism, different sects,racism in Muslims, and allying with non Muslims especially Israel and America then forget about the caliphate. It won't happen, infact the opposite is what will happen

your kidding right

Didn't get time yet to finish listening.. The white elephant in the room is the return of rightful leadership from Quraysh, the person named Muhammed ibn Abdullah, may Allah bless him. Yes that's right the Mahdi. It's time to generate the people who would support him and surround him. If this scholar here didn't mention the Mahdi then it shows something is seriously lacking (though it's actually a veritable sign of the impending time).
