The PTI Experiment Collapses. If it is not now time for Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood, then when?!

Within just nine months of the PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) experiment, Pakistan is in turmoil after a major cabinet reshuffle on 18 April 2019, with the drastic removal of the Finance Minister, in the midst of negotiations with the IMF, just before the new budget is due. The hastily brought in new Advisor on Finance, Dr. Abdul Hafeez Sheikh, is the new “Moeen Qureshi”, another favorite of the colonialist institutions, who will force through even more back breaking IMF conditions in the coming months, which have already crippled Pakistan’s economy. It is clear that the failure that demanded a change in faces is not that of Asad Umar, Imran Khan or of PTI alone, rather it is a failure of Democracy itself. Moreover, the remedy to the failure of Democracy is not more Democracy, with yet another change in faces but a new alternative system of governance. 

O Muslims of Pakistan and their Armed Forces in Particular!

Allah (swt) warned us,

[وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ]

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.” [Surah 20:124]. Democracy is the cause of our misery and our mounting anger that forced another attempt at saving democracy through yet another change of faces. Democracy is the system of ruling by the whims and desires of human-beings, rather than of all that Allah (swt) has revealed. So, how can we conceive that yet another round of Democracy will bring us blessings when Allah (swt) ordered,

[وَأَنِ ٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَٱحْذرْهُمْ أَن يَفْتِنُوكَ عَن بَعْضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ]

“And judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires, and beware (O Muhammad) that they might seduce you from some of what Allah has revealed to you.” [Surah Al-Maaida 5:49] How?! Democracy is the system of seeking guidance from man-made law, including those of the colonialists. So how can we conceive that our accepting guidance from Democracy will earn the pleasure of Allah (swt), when Allah (swt) declared,

[شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَان]

“The month of Ramadhan is the one in which the Qur’ān was revealed as Guidance for mankind, and as clear signs that show the right way and the Furqan.” [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185]? How?! Let the nine-month PTI experiment to sustain the misguidance and misery of Democracy be the very last. Let us all ensure ruling by all that Allah (swt) has revealed, by re-establishing the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. Now is the time that we demanded from our fathers, brothers and sons in the armed forces to release us from the forceful oppression of democracy, by granting Nussrah to the advocates of Khilafah, so that we are finally ruled by all that Allah (swt) has revealed. Ahmed narrated that RasulAllah (saw) said,

«ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا جَبْرِيَّةً فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ»

"Then there will be rule of force, and it will remain as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then Allah will end it when He wills. Then there will be a Khilafah on the Way of the Prophethood. Then he fell silent."
