So, In the initial period of Islam when the companions were one unit around the prophet ?. They did not circulate around any other than him. They observed him and did not observe any other than him, so they obtained the greatest opening (Conquest) and the obvious support (Victory). They did not used to look at any other than the Prophet ? despite their love for The Siddiq, and despite the love of the Messenger of Allah ? towards him. They never made, on any given day, an analogue comparable for The Messenger of Allah ?, not even to The Siddiq himself.
وعِنْدَما آلَتِ الْخِلَافةُ إِلَى الصَدِّيقِ كَانَ رَضِىَ الله تَعَالَى عَنْهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ رَسُولِ الله ? وَسَطَ قَوْمِهِ، مِصْدَاقاً لِقَوْلِهِ ?اَلشَّيْخُ فِى قَوْمِهِ كَالنَّبِىِّ فِى أُمَّتِهِ? وَكَانَ لَقَبُهُ خَلِيفَةُ رَسُولِ الله وَكَانَ سَائِرُ اِلصَّحَابَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الصِدِّيقِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ? فَلَا يَرَوْنَ مَعْ (اَلْخَليفَةِ) لِرسُولِ الله أَحَداً غَيرُهْ، لِذَلِكَ اِتَّحَدَتْ اَلْأُمَّةُ وَاشْتَدَّ عَضَدِهَا، وَحِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا وَكَثُرَتْ الْآرَاءُ، وَتَعَدَّدَتِ الْمَفَاهِيمُ حَولَ اَلْخِلَافَةِ، نَشَبَتْ اَلْحُرُوبُ، بَلْ وَنَالَ اَلْقَاصِى وَالْدَانِى مِنْهَا.
When the Khilafa (Succession) was transferred to The Siddiq, he was (May Allah be pleased with him) upon the position of the Messenger of Allah ? in midst of His people, approving His ? saying The Shaikh among his people is as a prophet among his nation. And his title was The successor of the messenger of Allah and the rest of the companions were in the position of The Siddiq, as He was during the pledge (time) of the Messenger of Allah ?, so they never considered anyone to be with the Khalifa of the messenger of Allah. As a result of this, the nation was united and became intense in power. But when they differed and the opinions increased into many and the understandings surrounding the Khilafa turned into numerous, then the internal wars broke out and those from the far and wide succeeded in disgracing the nation.
ولَمَّا كان الشيطانُ يَدْخُلُ دَائماً فى كل أَمْرٍ مِن أُمورِ الدِّينِ الْقويمِ لِيُحيِّد النَّاسَ عَنِ الطَرِيقِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ، جَاءَ الْبَعْضُ وَاتّخَذَ مِن مُسَمَّى الخِلَافَةِ أَوْ اَلْإمَارَةِ سَيفاً يَتَسَلَّطُوا بِهِ عَلَى رِّقَابِ الْعِبَادِ، فَاسْتَبَاحُوْا بِهِ دِمَاءَ الْبَشَرِ التى حَرَمَتْهَا اَلشَّرَائِعُ السَّمَاوِيَّةْ وَالقَوانِينَ الْإنسانِيَّةْ، حُجَّتُهُم فِى ذَلِكَ اَلدَّعْوَةُ إلى الْإسْلَامِ، فَاجْتَزَأُوْا النُصُوصَ تَاَرةً، وَتَارَةً أُخْرَى فَسَّرُوْهَا بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ، وَنَصَّبُوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَوْصِيَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَعَلَى الْمُجْتَمِعَاتِ، وَأَتَوْا بِفِكْرٍ عَقِيمٍ، وَضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ، وَأَصَّلُوا لِفِكْرَةِ اَلتَّطَرُّفِ أَينمَا حَلُّوا، وَحَسِبُوا أَنَّهُم يُحْسِنُونَ صَنِعاً، وَهُمُ الْخَاسِرِينَ أَعْمَالاً، وَمَا كَانَتْ اَلْخِلَافَةُ يَوْماً عَلَى هَذَا الْحَالِ، وَإِنَّمَا هِىَ رَمْزٌ لِلتَّوْحِيدِ وَهَدَفُ لِاسْتِكْمَالِ مَسِيرَةُ الْحِياةِ، فَتَوْحِيدُ الْكَلِمَةِ وَتَوْحِيدُ الْجُهُودِ، يَسْعَى بِنَا لِبِنَاءِ مُجْتَمَعِ قَوِىِّ مُتَمَاسِكْ، لَا تُؤَثِّرْ فِيهِ التَّيَارَاتُ الْخَبِيثَةُ وَالْأفْكَارُ اَلْبَائِسَةُ التى تَسْعَى لْخَرابِ الْمُجْتَمَعِ بَلْ وَخَرابِ الْإِنْسَانِ.
Since Satan always have entered into every matter of matters of the upright religion to deviate the people away from the balanced right path. Some came and took the name of the Khilafa or the Emirate as a sword to be imposed upon the necks of the worshippers, and they legitimized by it, the spilling of blood of the human, which had been forbidden by every divine codex (Sharia's) and the laws of humanity. Their argument in doing that, is the invitation to Islam. So, sometimes they would cut the divine text into pieces taking it out of context, and at other times they would interpret it according to their whims (inclination and impulses), and instated themselves as supervisors above the people and the communities, and they brought an infertile concept and an evident aberration, they established the foundation of the concept of extremism wherever they are, while they figured that they are accomplishing an excellent work, while they actually are those who are the losers of all their deeds (43:36, 5:5), and the Khilafa had never been like this, on any given day, but it is a symbol for the unification and a target to complete the march of life. While uniting the word and uniting the efforts, it pursues us to build a strong and cohesive society, which is not affected by the pernicious tendencies and wretched ideologies that seeks to ruin the society and rather the devastation of man.
وَالْكِتَابُ الْكَرِيمِ ضَرَبَ لَنَا أَعْظَمَ وَأَرْوَعَ اَلْأَمْثِلَةِ اَلْمُتَمَثِّلَةْ فِى سَيْدِنَا هارون عليه السلام، حينَ اسْتَخْلَفَهُ كَلِيمُ الله على قَومِهِ، وَعَبَدَ بَنُو إِسرائيلَ اَلْعِجْلَ، وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ اَلْكَلِيمُ وَعَاتَبَ سَيَّدَنَا هَارُون، فَقَالَ لَهُ كَلِمَةً سَجَّلَهَا التَّارِيخُ لِتَكونَ رَمْزاً على مَرِّ الْعُصُورِ، وَتَتَفَاوَتْ عَليها اَلدَّهُورْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ 94 طه، أَنْ جَعَلْتُهُم فِرْقَتَينِ، وَيَالَهَا مِنْ سُخْرِيَّةْ، لَمْ تَتَفَرَّقْ اَلْأُمَّةْ إلى فِرْقَتَينْ بَلْ صَارَتْ فِرَقٌ بِينَ هَؤلُاءِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ، وَمِن شِدَّةِ الْحَمَاقَةِ، تَجِدُ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ مِنْهُمْ حُجَّةً يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَيْهَا لِيُبَرِّرَ بِهَا مُخَالَفَتِهِم ??? ورسولهِ وَأُولِى الْأَمْرِ، وَلمْ يَؤْوِى أَحَدُهُمْ إلى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ أَوْ إِلَى رَأْىٍ سَدِيدٍ.
The Noble Book put forth for us the greatest and most magnificent examples represented by our Master Harun (as), when he was appointed as a successor by the speaker of Allah over his people, and then sons of Israel started to worship the calf. When the Speaker returned and blamed our Master Harun, he replied to him with a word, which is recorded by history to become a great symbol throughout all ages passing on though time. I feared that you would say: You caused division between the sons of Israel (Taha 20:94), that you have divided them into two fractions. And what an irony, that the Islamic nation didn't just divide into two divisions, but instead became many sects between these and those. By the severity of foolishness, you will find each sect among them having an argument, based upon justifying their opposition of Allah and His Messenger and the Those of Authority, and not one of them relied upon any solid proof or any sound opinion.
فَالْأُمَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةْ لَنْ تَعُودَ إِلَى عَصْرِهَا اَلذَّهَبِى حَتَّى تَفِيقَ مِنْ غَفْلَتِهَا. وَيَجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى كِتَابِ الله وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ ?.
Therefore, the Islamic nation will never return to its golden age until it wakes up from its heedlessness. And they unite themselves upon the Holy Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ?.
فَوِحْدَةُ صَفِّ الْأُمَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةُ عَلَّمَهَا رَسُول اللهِ ? لِلْبَشَرِيةِ، لِصَغَارِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَبْلَ كِبَارِهِم، عَلَّمَهَا لَهُم فِى رُكْنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ ? ?مُرُوْا أَوْلَادَكُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ لِسَبْعٍ، وَاضْرِبُوهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لِعَشْرٍ? عَلِّمُوهُم أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلَا يَتَفَرَّقُوا شِيعاً، فَهَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ جَمَاعَةً بِإِمَامَينِ؟!!
The Messenger of Allah ? taught the unity of the ranks of the Islamic Nation to the humanity, He taught it to the young among the Muslims before to their elders. He taught them in regarding the pillar of the prayer while He ? said: Ask your children, from the age of seven, to pray, and reprimand them upon it, on the age of ten. Teach them, that they must be united behind only one imam and never disperse into sects. Have you perhaps ever seen a congregational prayer lead by two imams?!!
فَإِذَا نَظَرْنَا إِلَى أَعْدَاءِ الْإِسْلَامِ نَجِدَهُمْ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى صِّفَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِ غَيرَ أَنَّهُمْ لِيْسُوْا مُسْلِمِينَ، فَتَجِدَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَى تَوْحِيدِ صُفُوْفِهِمْ، وَأَنْ تَكُونَ كَلِمَتُهُمْ وَاحِدَةً، وَاحْتِرَامُ رُمُوزُهُمْ، وَالرَّحْمَةُ بِصَغِيرِهِمْ وَالْمُحَبَّةُ شَعَارُهُمْ وَحُسْنُ الْمُعَامَلَةُ دَيْدَنَهُمْ.
When we look at the enemies of Islam, we find them calling to the qualities of the Muslim, while they are not Muslims. You find them pointing towards uniting their ranks and that their word becomes one. Respecting their symbols, compassion for their young, love is their slogan, and good treatment is their nature.
وَعِنْدَمَا حَلَّ اَلْمُصْطَفَى ? بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْمُنَوَّرَةِ أَرْسَى فَيِهَا تَعَالِيمَ الْإِسْلَامِ اَلسَّمِحَةْ، فَأَمَرَ بِبَنَاءِ اَلْمَسْجِدَ لِيَجْمَعَ فِيْهِ اَلْجَمْعَ اَلْكَرِيمَ مِنَ اَلصَّحَابَةِ وَمَنْ بَعْدُهِمْ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ.
When Al-Mustafa ? came to stay in Medina, he laid down the teachings of the largehearted Islam, So He ordered building of the mosque to collect the noble assembly of the companions and also for who were follow after them.
وَلِكَيْ لَاْ يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ فِرْقَتَيْنِ عَلَّمَهُمْ اَلْمُعَلِّمُ الْأَوَّلْ مَعْنَى اَلْإِخَاءِ، فَآخَى بَينَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ لِيَكُونُوا صَفَّاً وَاحِداً.
So, that they should not become two fractions. That's why, The First Teacher ? taught them the meaning of the brotherhood. By creating a brotherhood between the immigrants and the supporters so to become one united rank.
ثُمَّ عَلَّمَهُمْ رَسُولُ الْبَشَرِيَّةْ اَلْعَفْوَ فِى أَبْهَى صُوَرِهِ عِنْدَمَا قَامَ بِأَعْدَادِ (وَثِيقَةُ الْمَدِيْنَةْ) أَوْ كَمَا أَطْلِقَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْبَعْضُ (دُسْتُوْرُ الْمَدِيْنَةِ) وَهِيَ اَلَّتِي تُنَظِّمُ عَلَاقَةُ جَمِيعُ الْمُوَاطِنِينَ فِى الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى اِخْتَلَافِ دِيَانَاتِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَتَعَصَّبْ رَسُولِ الْإِسْلَامِ لِلْإِسْلَام ِبَلْ نَظَّمَ عَلَاقَاتِ التَّعَامُلِ بَينَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْيَهُودِ عَلَى اِخْتَلَافِ طَوَائِفِهِمْ، ثُمَّ أَسَّسَ سُوقٌ تِجَارِى حَتَّى يَكْسِرُ اَلْاِحْتِكَارَ، بَلْ وَنَهَى عَنْ اِحْتَكَارِ مَعَايْشِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
The messenger of humanity then taught them to pardon in the most beautiful manner, when he prepared (The Bill of Medina) or as some have called it (The constitution of Medina), which regulates the relationship of all citizens in the city despite of their different religions. The messenger of Islam was not discriminative in favor of Islam, but rather He organized a system of dealings between the Muslims and the Jews despite of the differences of their religions, and then He founded a commercial market to break the monopoly and even forbad the monopoly of the Muslim livelihoods.
فَأَصْبَحَتْ اَلدَّوْلَةُ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةُ دُوْلُةً عُظْمَى ذَاتَ كِيَانٍ وَتَجَلَّتْ قُوَّتَهَا فِى اِتِّحَادِ كَلِمَتِهَا وَالسَّيْرُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِهَا اَلْأَكْرَمْ ?.
The Islamic State became a great state with a prevailing existence and its power was manifested in the unity upon its word and the following behind its Noble Messenger ?.
نِلْنَا مُنَانَا وَمَا فَوْقَ الْمُنَى دُرَراً We have obtained our desired objective… and that which is above the desired objective, as an abundance of pearls (Qasida 28:13)
Qasida 28:21
The brotherhood had returned like though time had never affected it… And the universe witnessed signs of proofs from our fraternity
