Question & Answer
 

Is jihad the only solution for implementing Sharia and establishing an Islamic government?

The only solution for implementing Sharia and establishing an Islamic government is to bring Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) into appearance; because he is Allah’s caliph in our time, and no one can implement Sharia or establish an Islamic government except for Allah’s caliph. The minds of most people have failed to comprehend this due to their deep-rooted ignorance, imitation, and fanaticism for madhhabs and figures. ﴿بَلْ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا[1]; “Rather, Allah has sealed their hearts because of their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few.” His Eminence Mansoor (may Allah protect him) has explained to them with conclusive proofs from the Quran, the Sunnah, and sound intellect that the Earth is never empty of Allah’s caliph[2], and they must know and help him so that he implements Sharia and establishes an Islamic government, just as their ancestors did for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) when they recognized him through a sign from Allah and then helped him with their wealth and lives until he migrated to them, established an Islamic government among them, and implemented Sharia as it should be. Then, when he was about to be called and respond, he made a will to them, saying: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي أُوْشَكُ أَنْ أُدْعَى فَأُجِيبَ، وَإِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمُ خَلِيفَتَيْنِ: كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي، إِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِمَا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِي، فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونِي فِيهِمَا، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ»[3]; “O people! I am about to be called, then I will respond (meaning I am about to pass away). I will leave among you two caliphs: the Book of Allah and my Itrah, (who are) my Ahl al-Bayt. If you hold firmly to those two, you will never go astray after me, so watch how you treat those two after me. And those two will never be separated until they come to me by the Pond.” Thus, he informed them that the Book of Allah and a man from his Itrah and his Ahl al-Bayt are always among them as two caliphs from Allah and His Messenger, and they must hold firmly to them so that they do not go astray until the Day of Judgment. He also informed them that the Mahdi is from his Itrah and his Ahl al-Bayt, who will come in the end time when the Earth is filled with oppression and cruelty, and then he will fill it with justice and fairness. He did not inform them of anyone else who would do this, and if anyone else were to do this, he would have informed them of him. There is no doubt that the Earth has been filled with oppression and cruelty. Therefore, it is inevitable that the Mahdi will appear and fill it with justice and fairness, as promised by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family). However, when will the Mahdi appear? People claim that he will appear at an unknown time, perhaps not for another thousand years. However, His Eminence Mansoor (may Allah protect him) says that he will appear when he is provided with the necessary men and equipment for his advent. If these are provided for him tonight, then he will appear tomorrow, by Allah’s permission; because Allah does not wrong people even to the weight of an atom, and He will not delay justice for them for a moment if they provide its means. Just like, He ﴿لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ[4]; “does not change anything for a people until they change what is in themselves.” Therefore, His Eminence Mansoor (may Allah protect him) invites them to provide the necessary men and equipment for the Mahdi’s advent. He believes that this is the only way to solve their problems and achieve the desired happiness they seek; as he has said in a sermon:

Beware, O you the ignorant nation! What are you looking for?! And who are you following?! Your leader is the Mahdi. The calmness of your nights and the delight of your days is the Mahdi. Your lasting happiness and the sweetness of your life is the Mahdi. Your prosperity in the world and your salvation in the Hereafter is the Mahdi. So what has stopped you from turning to him?! Or who has filled the void left by him?!... Do you think you will see justice and flourish in his absence? Or do you think you will have security and happiness in his absence? No, I swear to Allah, then no, I swear to Allah. You will take this wish to your graves as your ancestors took it to their graves; because Allah has not put any benefit in His Caliph’s absence, nor has he created any blessing in the government of other than him! I am telling you the truth: in his absence, your stomachs will stick to your backs, and you will lie on thorns! You will rage in anger and wish for death morning and evening! Your homes will be uninhabited, and your markets will be closed! Farms will grow thorns, and fruit trees will wither! Livestock herds will be scattered, and there will be no one to gather them! Your heads will have lice, and your hands will be soiled! Your cities will be destroyed, and your villages will be forsaken! No one will cross your alleys, and no one will knock on your doors! Your water channels will run dry, and snakes will nest in your wells! Wolves will wander around your public squares, and owls will screech on top of your towers! Spiders will weave webs on your windows, and frogs will croak in your ponds! You will reside in dark valleys and take shelter on the summit of the mountains! You will hide in the crevices of the rocks, and your companions will be lizards of the desert! Smoke will go up to the sky from your lands, and its fire will not go out! Your enemies will dominate you, and Satans of the East and the West will devour you! They will not listen to the crying of your children, nor will they be merciful to your crippled elders! They will divide your possessions and draw lots for your women! They will not bury your dead, but rather they will leave them for their dogs![5]

He has also said in a letter:

Indeed, your example in the life of the world has been like that of a child who has lost his mother in the crowd, so in the hope of finding her, he grasps the skirt of any woman and follows her for a while until he sees unkindness from her and realizes that she is not his mother, so he leaves her and grasps the skirt of someone else until the darkness of the night surrounds him and its cold kills him while there is no helper for him! This has been your example in the life of the world that in the hope of achieving justice, you have got attached to any government and followed it for a while until you have seen oppression from it and realized that there is no justice in it, so you have overthrown it while shouting and turned to another government! Thus in search of justice, sometimes you have inclined to the East and sometimes to the West, sometimes you have run to the left and sometimes to the right, sometimes you have turned to Zayd and sometimes to Amr; sometimes you have got attached to monarchy and sometimes to democracy! While justice has been neither in the East nor in the West, neither in the left nor in the right, neither in Zayd nor in Amr, and neither in monarchy nor in democracy! Justice is only in the government of Allah Who knows your measures and places, and none but He can find a way to it, no matter how much one searches and strives, except for one whom He has guided to it … Beware! Do not entrust your guidance to anyone other than Mahdi; because no one asks the blind about the way or sails with a holed ship! Do you then seek a government other than the government of Allah?! While justice is found only in the government of Allah; the government that will be realized by His guided Caliph, not by others, and caliphs, kings, and jurists are the same in this matter, except that they differ in the method of oppression, and some do oppression more than some others; like killers who all kill, except that some strangle, some decapitate, and some give poison! Listen to my word; because you will not hear a word better than that: Your world will not be reformed except with justice, your Hereafter will not be rectified except with justice, justice will not be possible except with the Mahdi’s government, and the Mahdi’s government will not be established except with your help, but most of you do not know![6]

He has also said in another letter:

Woe to those who have taken a caliph other than the Caliph of Allah and a guardian other than the guardian from Allah and obey one whom Allah has not commanded them to obey; because soon He will flay them alive, break their bones, and throw them into the fire while there is no rescuer for them! They will bray like donkeys and howl like wolves when the scythe of affliction reaps them and the mill of calamity crushes them! … Beware, O people! Know that the punishment of Allah has approached you; I hear its voice, smell its scent, and see its shadow, but most of you are heedless! If you desire to be saved, I have advice for you: Ask forgiveness from Allah, then turn to Him in repentance and obey one whom He has purified and guided, the one whose description you find in the Scriptures of the Prophets and whose name you read in the books of the past, not one who has little intellect and many claims, follows passions, and is very tyrannical and aggressive. Then you will see that the earth will be filled with justice as it has been filled with oppression, and justice is sweeter than honey, softer than butter, and purer than snow.[7]

This is some of what His Eminence Mansoor (may Allah protect him) has said about the path to the happiness of Muslims. It is the most profound thing that can be said in this regard, if you use your reason. He has discussed this in detail in the book Geometry of Justice. You may refer to it.

This is a mutawatir Hadith, narrated by a large number of the Sahabah, the Tabi‘un, and Sunni scholars, including Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Ishaq ibn Rahwayh, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Darimi, Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, and al-Nasa’i. Many hadith scholars, including al-Tabari, al-Mahmali, al-Hakim, al-Dhahabi, ibn Kathir, al-Haythami, al-Suyuti, al-Manawi, and al-Albani, have affirmed its authenticity. Rather, some of them have reported a consensus on its authenticity, as stated by His Eminence Mansoor (may Allah protect him) in the book Return to Islam (p. 145). You may refer to it.
