12.10 The Global Effect of the Khilafah
What an impact on the world stage a united Muslim Ummah would have and Inshallah will have! For today Muslim Land is the wealthiest land in the world, with an abundance of oil, gas, minerals, food and textiles. And it is wealthy also in terms of population.
The Khilafah offers a united economy. So the Muslims and non- Muslims who suffer poverty in Bangladesh and Somalia would have a right on the wealth of the Gulf.
The Khilafah offers a united army. So gone will be the days when Muslim armies fight Muslims armies as we have seen time and time again, in Somalia, in the Gulf war and in the Iran-Iraq war. Rather, all Muslim soldiers will fight side by side with their fellow citizens of the State, under the leadership of the Amir of Jihad.
Gone also will be the days when the cries of the oppressed Muslims and non-Muslims in Bosnia, Chechnya, Kashmir and Palestine would go unheard. A united Muslim army would once again thunder across the lands, free from the chains of international law and the United Nations. For the Khaleefah is a shield for the Ummah. Muhammad (saw) said, “The Imam is a shield behind which the Muslims fight, and behind whom the Muslims are protected.”.
This is a world vision far removed from the sad one we witness today, where our so-called leaders act not as shields but as shackles around our necks, fighting and torturing those who seek to bring back the rule of Allah (swt), whilst making deals with those who illegally occupy Muslims Land. Allah (swt) says,.
“Allah forbids you from making alliance with those who fight you for your deen, drive you out of your homes, and support those who drive you out.” [TMQ 60:9].
