先知ﷺ在麦地那建立了第一个伊斯兰国家,此后艾布·伯克尔(ra)成为哈里发,随后是欧麦尔(ra)、奥斯曼和阿里(ra)。这一哈里发制度此后延续了一千三百年,直至1924年3月3日被摧毁。

The Prophet (saw) established the first Islamic State in Madinah after which Abu Bakr (ra) became the Khaleefah followed by ‘Umar (ra), ‘Uthman and ‘Ali (ra). This Khilafah continued to exist throughout the next thirteen hundred years until its destruction on the 3rd of March 1924.

因此，所需要做的，是从现有的伊斯兰原始资料中推导出方法论，在此即先知（愿主福安之）的逊奈（Sunnah）。这需要从法学的角度理解先知（愿主福安之）的生平（Seerah）。然后效法他（愿主福安之）在履行责任、在实践层面践行伊斯兰生活方式时所采取的行动。

Hence what is required is to derive the methodology from the Islamic sources that are available which in this instance is the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw) through understanding the Seerah of the Prophet (saw) from a legal perspective. Then to emulate those actions which he (saw) undertook as part of fulfilling his obligation in assuming the Islamic way of life in the practical sense.
