 فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي حسن الله تعالى نحن now going to be speaking about the way and the method in which an Islamic leader can be appointed we are now going to be speaking about what is the Islamic method of appointing a leader and how do we do it there are two ways in which an Islamic leader can be appointed the first طريقة the first way is اختيار اهل الحل والاقت it is اختيار اهل الحل والاقت they are the ones who choose who is going to be the leader and this is the asal this is the default position and it is the اهل الحل والاقت some ignorant people would say that you want to find them in the Quran you want to find them in the scripture you want to find them in the نصوص then this is كلام لا يتفت إلي it is a speech that we don't give no consideration to اهل الحل والاقت is present in the sunnah and it is also present in the اجمع of the قرون المفضلة it was present amongst them who are اهل الحل والاقت اهل الحل والاقت are a group of righteous and noble people in their religion also they are smart and they are clever they have good opinions they are also people of التدبير they are leaders they know how to run things and they also are موجهة موجهة الناس are they represent people they represent their community they can be chief tribes, tribe leaders there are conditions that have to be found in the اهل الحل والاقت the conditions that have to be found in them are seven conditions or else they are not اهل الحل والاقت the first one is الاسلام they have to be Muslims so a disbeliever cannot be from اهل الحل والاقت as Allah says in the Qur'an ولي يجع على الله الله is not one who is going to make للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيلا الله does not make ولي يجع على الله للكافرين على المؤمنين سبيلا so that's why the scholars they take from this verse that the girl's father if he's a disbeliever he's not there with her ولي he has no willaya over her he's not her guardian so even if he can't be a leader for his own daughter he can't be a guardian for his own daughter how is he going to be a leader and responsible over the months when he's a disbeliever when he's a disbeliever he can wrest a body it's something they now want to open discussions on the second is he has to be sane he has to be a and when we say it doesn't just mean good he has to be a smart person he can't be immatureasan a immature young boy شخص جداً. now he can never come into the fold of but if he's young and he's smart, he won't be pushed away because of his age and Ibn Abbas was what? Ibn Abbas was in the inner circle of him. he was in the inner circle of أمر رضي الله عقب. the conditions are age. no one brings age. number 3 is الرجولة. it has to be a man. a woman is not allowed to be from أهل الحل والعقب. she's not. Allah said in the Quran الرجال قوامون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض وبما فقوا من أموالهم. that the men are in charge of the women. so if a woman is part of أهل الحل والعقب then that means her husband has to be because he's in charge of her. or if a woman is the leader of a country her husband tells her what to do so he's running the country. she's not. and the prophet told us عليه الصلاة والسلام. he said يفلح قومون. a people will not find prosperity. أمراءة. a woman is running their affairs. what is the level of أصحب كتابي بعد كتابي الله. it is the most authentic book. after the book of Allah. isn't that the case? today he narrates. your youtube channel will be closed down. and you have a lot of problems. so the woman she's not allowed to. she's not from أهل الحل والعقب. if she can't be from أهل الحل والعقب. can she lead the people? election today. a woman consulted. how can he be from أهل الحل والعقب. no one consulted the women. no one consulted the immature ones. in this country how old do you have to be in order to do elections? 18 right? look at our 18 year olds right now. what are they doing? they're selling drugs on the streets. that guy goes and he puts the letter in the palette. he votes and he puts his voice in. his voice is equal to the voice of العلم المحدة. the taxi driver. his voice is the same as the blue bears. when I say taxi driver I don't mean tax drivers. because of his job. I mean the one who doesn't know anything. he doesn't know his right hand from his left hand in the religion. his voice becomes a voice of the righteous. the scholars. the scholastic people. the people who are looking at the benefit of the umma. fourth is free. he has to be a free person. he's not allowed to be a slave. number five is a piety. he has to be what? piety. when we say piety it means he has to be far. because some people would say our piety. you say it is infallible. no we're not saying it. we mean it's he stays away from major sins. and he's not consistent on it. if it happens from him he runs back to Allah and he asks for forgiveness. او ظلم وانفسهم ذكروا الله فاستغفروا لي ذنوبهم. وما يغفروا الدنوبة إلا الله ولم يسروا على ما فعلوا وهم يعلمون. when he does a mistake and a shortcoming occurs from him he runs back to Allah and he asks for forgiveness. so here the takwa is that he stays away from the major sins. and he's not consistent upon the minor sins. how can we know the person is takwa? the way we can know a person has takwa is شخرة. it becomes famous. استفابة. people all hear about it. today what do we hear about sheikh Abdulaziz ibn al-Baz? what do we hear? we don't praise in the eyes of Allah anyone as the prophet said but from what we know from sheikh Abdulaziz ibn al-Baz and those who studied with him and those who took knowledge from him and those who saw him it became a محل التفاق and that he was from the people of piety رحم الله عامل بعلمه. one who implemented the knowledge he had صح. so who that's how we know. استفادة. ولذلك what we know is من تشبه بما ليس فيه فضحته شواهد ليالي wanna be anyone who tries to make himself be where he really isn't تdeep. and ya takwa. and your piety will become credit to the people. Number 6 is هل كل ا khld is knowledge جاهل way we will the holy one the ignorant وصح so the knowledge here is are you with me brothers. is that فعندما يكون من إهل الحل والعقد، يجب أن يكون من رفع وعقيدة الثقافية والأحضار هو أنه يجب أن يأتي إلى عجب في حورة يجب أن يكون بالغة، يجب أن يأتي إلى عجب في حورة السؤال هو أهل الحل والعقد هل أنت أموت؟ أو يمكن أن يكون أموت كبير هل أنت أموت؟ ما نقول هو أهل الحل والعقد لا يشترطوا فيه عدد وعيل أن أموت ليست مجددا ليست مجددا نقول 6,5,4,3 لا كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما كما ونمبر لا يستطيع أن يكون لديه ممبر كما تتحرك في هذه المشاكل ما هو المجرد من أهل الحل والعكد؟ ما هو المجرد؟ ما يجب أن يفعله؟ يوجد أعلى أعلى أعلى أول هو إذا كانت أحد أحد أحد يأتي في المدينة أحد أحد يأتي في المدينة هو أفضل المدينة التي أستطيع أن أستطيع أن أستطيع لأن لا يستطيع أن أخبره للمزيد في مدينة now ونهن بمدينة الله عليكم والنظام بشكل مدينة بمدينة now أنت أعرفه right بمدينة now بمدينة now أنت أستعملني أنت لستستطيع أن أخبرني أنت لستستطيع أن تلقمني أنت لست مستطيع أن أخبرني بمدينة now لصرفتك يا بادر إنك رجل ضعيف أنك رجل ضعيف أنك رجل ضعيف ولك النظام هو اهل الحل والعكد وإنها حسرتون ولداما يأتي به إذا وإنه غمال أكثر than one person is befitting among themselves they discuss it so and so what do you guys think everyone goes yeah you know what he's he's a person we all had in mind but what about so and so it's more than one name comes forward does that make sense no one deals with the leader no one talks to him these people are the ones who are choosing so what do they do they choose for the people who they think is right and he comes into power he comes into power are you with me brothers with what with the choice the consultation of these individuals now look at election and look at democracy are you with me brothers there's a lot of this come together what are are you are they initiating a ruling they're not initiating any law and they're giving the authority to legislate on their behalf and they're giving the leader of the country to legislate on their behalf no they're not but what are they doing is men who from these two people are اصلاح للإمامة who is the most befitting one for leadership و الرئاسة they can come to this conclusion because of the fact that they have Islam and they have عقل and they have رجولة and they have حرية and they have تقوى and they have علم and there is no preconceived belief in their hearts that's pushing them to lean towards this the hearts are clean election is what my beloved brothers and sisters كُلَّ من هبَّة و دبَّة everybody who you see whether he's right or whether he doesn't matter his voice counts now when you come to the people and you say election is haram are you there when you say to the people election is haram fear Allah stay away from election don't choose it are they going to be inclined to your speech why they're most likely they're not going to be inclined to your view the reason why they're not is because you're telling the person you're not من أهل تقوى you're not from أهل حلو العقل you're not deserving to be consulted your words have no value your words this gets to people my voice has to count I want to be known I want to choose تقوى and إيمان is what makes you realize that I am not I can't place any force on anyone I can't choose who am I to choose I will take it back and hope Allah with the choice of our brothers and our righteous scholars what they choose are you with me brothers the second job is they are the ones who supervise the bay'a taking place so they choose and they also they take the bay'a are you with me brothers what do we what do we mean they take bay'a sometimes they are you with are you with me they take the bay'a and the people don't have to هل حلو العقل already did it no one else has to everyone just has to submit not every single person has to go to the leader and say وبيعك على السمع وطع في من شطينا ومكرهنا ويصرنا وعصرنا واثارتنا علينا no not everyone has to do that أهلو الحلو العقل they take over that from the people they do it and so they tell the leader السبع وطع في غير المعصية we listen to you we obey you in that which is not حرام we will do that في المن شطي و المكره times of ease and times of hardship okay and we won't go against you as a leader are you with me brothers and bay'a brothers is فرضو كيفاء it's not فرضوع I mean everybody to do it it's different صحيح is that فرضو كيفاء the second way that a Muslim leader is elected is and is appointed is what is known as الاستخلاف الاستخلاف is the leader who is already in position the leader who is already in position will say to an individual you are the one you are my successor you are my successor as Abu Bakr رضي الله و تعالى عنه he did for who عمر رضي الله و عنه and there are conditions that the scholars stipulate there are conditions that the scholars stipulate for the الاستخلاف to be صحيح and to be correct if the Muslim leader pay attention are you with me the one who is doing the الاستخلاف are you with me let's pay attention to his brothers pay attention the Muslim leader what are the conditions that he needs to come he's Islam he has حرية his بلوغ عقل ذكور right all of that when the Muslims choose him as time goes on he can change right if he changes and he loses the fact that he was chosen for are you there brothers pay attention and then he does الاستخلاف it won't be accepted from him are you with me الاستخلاف he's taken on board if the conditions are still present in him that's the first condition and there's another sura that we're going to take later are you with me which is a third form which we're going to see later that's not شرعي but he has to be obeyed and he has to be listened to anyways the second form I mean the second condition that is needed for the الاستخلاف is what that the one who is appointing the other leader like when Abu Bakr appointed عمر عمر has to accept it if he rejects and says I'm not going to do it then there's no الاستخلاف nothing worked third is that the one who it has been passed on to has to be present or he's in the ruling of the one who's present he's gone but he's coming back the fourth condition is that when he's passing it on to him the leader has to be alive the leader has to be alive who's passing it on and appointing are you there you can't have written on a letter or something like that so he does it all while he's alive and Abu Bakr did that while he was on his deathbed the fifth one is he has to have consulted are you with me أهل الحل والعكد and they agreed with him on this without him forcing them putting them on the dress last but not least are you with me the person who he is appointing the one who he is appointing has to be not from he's descended he can't be from his parents and up and he can't be from his children and down can't be a kingdom can't be a monarchy and there are two reasons why it can't be the first one is we follow the path of the خلافاء الرشدين المهديين we were told to what عضو عليها من الواجد hold on to it with your molatif the خلافاء الرشدين didn't do that the four guide for the خلافاء they didn't do a monarchy they didn't pass it over to their children is it goes against our messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم his methodology what do we mean by the prophet's methodology and the prophet's way the prophet عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم who was the best companion in his eyes أبو بكر ربي الله تعالى عنه and who was present علي was there his own cousin his own daughter was in life فاطمة ربي الله تعالى عنه and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم at that level and everything he didn't make it something that's inherited because for my family you have to have this but what I do need to mention is that what I do need to mention is that if this happens then the leader does appoint somebody after that and he passes it over to his child and it does happen to that it does happen there is no there is no right for any individual to refuse to give way and that's exactly what happened in the Umawi and the Abbasi dynasty right we have to listen and we have to obey the other point that needs to be and it's a very important point which is which of the two paths is better the استخلاف or the اختيار اهلي الحل والعكت the first path and the second of which of the two is better والراجحو the strongest is that اختيار اهلي الحل والعكت is the best the choosing of اهلي الحل والعكت is better just like the message عليه الصلاة والسلام did not directly and clearly say that Abu Bakr should take after me or Phulan needs to take after me the Prophet left it who did he leave it for اهلي الحل والعكت are you with me are you with me brothers just the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم left it the chosen of اهلي الحل والعكت and that's the best path right that's the best path are you with me brothers also there are circumstances there are circumstances when the استخلاف is actually better when the person sees when the person sees after him there's going to come a lot of and a lot of corruption if he doesn't put his finger down on a particular individual he fears that he may cause havoc that he may cause harm in that circumstance he should choose a person and appoint a person the reason for that درقا للخلاف وسعيان للاتلاف because he's trying to get rid of خلاف that may come and also bring the people together those are the two شرعي ways that a Muslim leader is appointed brothers those are the two methods and they are the two ways a Muslim leader is appointed when you now look at this democracy system the governments today in the western countries when you look at America as well are they from do they follow this way لا من قريب ولا من بعيد not from anywhere close nor from anywhere
