The explanation of how this ideological Hizbi structure emerges naturally in the
Ummah is as follows:
The Ummah is an indivisible whole that resembles a human being in its overall
structure. As a person recovers from a potentially fatal disease, and life flows back into
his body again, it flows into him as a whole. Similarly, the declined Ummah is
considered ill as well, and life will flow into the Ummah as a whole. The life of the Ummah is the idealinked with a method of its same nature. Thus, both the idea and its method constitute what is calledthe ideology.
The mere existence of the ideology within the Ummah is not sufficient to bring life into her. Rather, when the Ummah is guided to the ideology, and the Ummah implementsit in its life affairs, it is only then that the Ummah becomes alive. The ideology may existin the Ummah within her legislative, cultural and historical heritage. However, she may beunaware of it, or unaware of its idea or its method, or unaware of linking them together. Inthis case, the mere existence of the idea and its method
would not lead to revival.
How the ideological Hizbi Takakattul arises within the Ummah
As for how this Takattul arises within the Ummah that wishes to revive in a natural manner; here is the explanation.
The Ummah is a single whole that cannot be divided and she is in her complete formationsimilar to a human. And despite those who say that the society is formed from individuals and the attempt to focus the individualistic ideology taken from the capitalist ideology within the breasts of the people which has an effect upon many, despite this, the fundamental components of the Ummah remain the basis in respect to the formation of the Ummah. So her Aqeedah and the sentiments that emanate from it and the ‘Urf ‘Aamm (general custom) that is formed upon their basis, these represent the basis in respect to the Ummah’s formation. So as long as the Ummah carries a specific Aqeedah and fundamental thoughts and Ahkaam which regulate her life emanate from it, and as long as this Aqeedah has an effect upon the sentiments and feelings of the people, and as long as this Aqeedah has an effect upon her manner of thinking, then in this case she will remain an Ummah,irrespective of the diseases that have attached to her and irrespective of the weakness that has taken hold of her. She would remain like a human that is living life.
So the life in respect to the human is like the Aqeedah in respect to the Ummah. And however much the human is afflicted by illness or paralysis whilst life has remained in him (i.e. the Ruh), he is still a living human whom it is possible to treat. The Ummah is similarto this, so whatever her sons are gripped with in terms of languishing decline, whatever she suffers of weakness and whatever the level of corruption is dominating over them, she remains as a living Ummah as long as her Aqeedah remains with her. Even if she has reached the most severe point of decline the possibility of treating her remains standing.
The sick person who has come in sight of death and then begins upon the path of recovery,then the life begins to creep into his veins and all of his limbs, because he is a living being.Similarly the Ummah when life creeps into her and vitality, then it creeps and spreads into its entirety in her description as a single human collective and in her description as being a whole. The life of the Ummah is the thought that is accompanied by a method which is from the same type as it in order to implement it, and they combined form what has been called the Mabda’ (ideology). As such, the presence of the spiritual Aqeedah within the Ummah is not sufficient for her to revive. Similarly the Aqeedah that is separated from itsmethod that implements it, is not sufficient for revival to occur within the Ummah
The mere existence of the ideology within the Ummah is not sufficient to bring life
into her. Rather, when the Ummah is guided to the ideology, and the Ummahimplements it in its life affairs, it is only then that the Ummah becomes alive. Theideology may exist in the Ummah within her legislative, cultural and historical heritage.However, she may be unaware of it, or unaware of its idea or its method, or unaware oflinking them together. In this case, the mere existence of the idea and its method
would not lead to revival.
Our Ummah carries the spiritual Aqeedah in a good way and the belief (Imaan) that Islaamtreats and deals with all of the problems of life whether they are political, economic, social, intellectual or cultural, exists within the Ummah as well. However the method(Tareeqah) for implementing these solutions does not accompany this Imaan (belief) and indeed they have nor perceived and understood this Tareeqah. For this reason, all of what they hold does not affect the presence of life within the Ummah or even vitality in the majority of times.
Therefore the presence of the ideology within the Ummah is not sufficient to breathe lifeinto her whilst the only matter that will breathe life into her is being guided by the ideology and placing it in the position and context of being implemented. So the Ummah, as a whole, its young and its old, praise the fact that they carry an ideology, that in Islaam there is asolution for every one of life’s problems, and that if Islaam was to be implemented the whole world would be covered by complete happiness amongst other aspirations and hopes that they hold on to. There does not exist except a small insignificant number from amongst the educated and those imprinted with the western culture, who view that Islaam is incapable of keeping up with the current age and incapable of solving the Ummah’s problems.
Many of them have attempted to reconcile between Islaam and other than it or have attempted to interpret the Shar’iyah texts to make them compatible to the current time and in agreement with the western thoughts. Despite this reality we still say that the Ummah has not touched upon the path of revival and the existence of these concepts within her has not led t the existence of life within her. This is because she has not placed this ideology in the position of implementation and despite the ideology’s existence in the form of sacred texts which lies between her hands, she has not been guided to its thought, perceived and comprehended its method and she has not understood the obligation of combining its thought to its method. Following on from this, the presence of this great ideology with its thought and its method within the Ummah, her history and legislative heritage, the fact that she extols and sings the praises of her majestic past and that she was the master of theDunyaa, despite this, none of this led to the presence of life within her.
Vitality usually streams into Ummah when severe shocks occur in the society and
produce a common feeling. This collective feeling leads to an intellectual process, which inturn produces a host of propositions and ideas as a result of discussions about the causesand effects of the shock, as well as the direct and indirect means to save the Ummah.
The one who is imprinted or mesmerised (Al-Madboo’u) does not awaken until he sees hisown blood flowing. The word ‘Madboo’’ is taken from an animal called Ad-Dab’u (Hyena). When this animal comes across a person and wishes to make him his prey he resorts to (certain) styles. A terrible smell emits from him causing the person to lose control over his nerves and as such he follows the Hyena to where he wants (after being thrown off guard), he shouts out ‘Wait for me father’, whilst the Hyena continues to proceed in front of him until he brings him to the place that he wants to attack him. This person (Al-Madboo’) who has been mesmerised by the Hyena will not awaken from following the Hyena until he is struck by a stone or struck by a stick by a person trying to save him which causes his blood to flow. If this did not happen then he would continue to follow the Hyena to his lair and the place where it wants to attack him.
It is not easy to awaken the person who has lost consciousness for one reason or another and it is necessary to splash water upon him or place ammonia under his nose or some substance that returns the nerves to their normal functionality. As for the declined Ummah which has lost its awareness or consciousness and has fallen into a deep sleep, it requires that which will return it to its right state of mind and return vitality to its limbs. It needs somethingthat makes its blood flow and will awaken its nerves from sleep and carless neglect. In most cases it is the severe and violent shocks afflicting the people that serve as the best alarms. This is in the case where these shocks produce a common shared sensation (Ihsaas Mushtarak) and this collective sensation resulting from these shocks lead to dialogue anddiscussions amongst the people. They discuss the causes and reasons for these shocks, what led to their occurrence and how can the like of them be avoided and prevented (in the future). This is amongst other questions and discussions that happen amongst the educated, politicians and the masses in general. This is because it is a common shared sensation even if the strength of this sensation varies and differs in terms of its strength and weakness. Due to the sharp conversations, the continuation of consecutive calamities and trials, the search and study continues amongst the people leading to an intellectual thinking process. As a result issues arise from the search and study related to the causes and effects for these calamities. Some of the people will look at these issues from the lowest levels ofshallowness and superficiality, so they may say for example: ‘We deserve what is happening to us because we do not abide by what Allah has commanded us’ and others from amongst will say: ‘It is the will of Allah’ whilst shouting aloud: ‘Return to your Rabb’. Others attempt to tie their reality to what has happened to them and they search for ways to treat these matters in a manner that will save them from what they are afflicted with.
It would only be natural that each of them would then attempt to establish evidence to support the correctness of the position that they had taken and to demonstrate the correctness of the conclusion that they had arrived at. In the course of these discussions and dialogue and from connecting the sensed reality to its causes and effects, the correct thought will be produced. This is in the case where the sensed issues which are proven by evidences and proofs generate correct results. This is the sound logic. Greater soundly sensed issues, lesser sensed issues and a sensed result accompanied by the logical process is what produces the correct thought. This thought remains connected to its evidences and proofs, the continuity of this connection and the linking between the issues inevitably leads to the study of the past of the Ummah and its previous situation, the study of its current situation in addition to the future direction that it is heading in if it continues upon its current state. It would be natural for this study and research to lead to the study of therelationship of the Ummah with other nations and peoples, their history and the events and realities that affected the destiny of the life of nations and the reasons and causes for the revival of each of them in addition to what accompanies this study in regards to makings comparisons and the study of related interconnected matters. All of this would lead to themind being guided to the ideology with its thought and method. It will then be believed in after the logical issues having proven the correctness and productiveness of the ideology. And when we say the sensed issues we mean the issues which the rational evidence builtupon the sensation have indicated to be truthful i.e. any issue that the sensed evidence and rational proof has been established upon it to indicate that it is correct and truthful. This is what violent and powerful shocks in most cases leads to within sleeping nations. Howeverthe enemies of this Ummah mislead her and divert her with pragmatic and improvisedactions that distance her from engaging in the needed process of thought. So the Ummahmoves from sensation to action without the occurrence of thought and if this was to continue to happen, it could lead to a condition of despair befalling the Ummah which in turn would lead to surrender and feelings of hopelessness. This would then delay the process of being guided towards the ideology for longer in the case where the natural situation would be for these shocks to lead naturally to the results we have mentioned.
/
Although this feeling is the same and common to all individuals in the community, the degreeof feeling varies amongst them because Allah � bestowed different capacities
to every individual. Hence the community’s realization of the idea remains latent in theUmmah until this realization is accumulated and becomes concentrated in those who havea greater degree of sensitivity and perception. The idea awakens them, inspires them, andmotivates them into action. Accordingly the signs of vitality first appear in that group ofpeople.
Being guided to the ideology would be collective within the Jamaa’ah (group) because thecommon (shared) sensation within it led to the study and search amongst all of its groups. As a result of the dialogue and discussions and the use of the minds logic, this would inevitably lead to being guided to the ideology in a collective manner. This is because that which has led to being guided to it is the collective sensation which was generated within the Ummah as a result of the shocks.
Yes it is true that the level of sensation varies from one person to another and that theeffects of the sensation vary as well in terms of their strength and weakness but not in respect to its kind. So when we sense the oppression, calamity or defeat, the sensation that is generated from this reality is one and the same in respect to its kind or type. It is representative of a sensation of oppression or defeat. However its varying degree is only in respect to the strength and weakness of the sensation and this is in accordance to whatAllah has prepared the people with and what He (swt) has given in terms of exceptional aptitudes or predispositions. For this reason the Ummah being guided to the thought remainslatent or concealed within her until the effects of this sensation build up together within aperson with a high level of sensation. So he will then awaken them, inspire them and initiate movement within them. This would be through an increased discussion of the issues (as we mentioned earlier) and a study to understand and know the reasons behind these calamities in addition to the paths that would lead to their removal. The symptoms attached to the life would therefore appear to this group before others.
The feelings of the people will be reflected in those who have a higher degree of
sensitivity and perception. The idea will be concentrated in them, causing them to
move forward with awareness and comprehension.
This group which possesses a higher level and degree of sensation would represent the mirror reflecting the sensations of the (wider) group or collective. This is because, as we have stated, the calamity that instigates the thinking is comprehensive applying to everyone. Dueto this group enjoying a higher level of sensation (i.e. more sensitive), the calamity would have a greater affect upon it. This would drive them towards further study, investigation and research until they arrive to the thought and it becomes focused (and solidified) within them. This would drive them into motion bit motion driven by awareness and comprehension (realisation). This group would be the pulsating vein full of life and vitality and would represent the aware minority within the Ummah. They are the eyes of the Ummah which monitor and pay attention to what happens within the society in terms of events, incidents and all that occurs within her in respect to change.
They are the eyes of the Ummah and the aware group from amongst her. In the
beginning, this aware band of individuals will be worried and uncertain. They will see numerous paths and will be uncertain as to which path to follow. The degree of awareness within this group will vary amongst its members. The thinking that is based on sensation (mantiq ul-ihsas) will be higher in some of them than in others. Out of this aware group, a select and distinguished band will arise. This band will embrace one path
after
deep and thorough research. It will perceive both the objective that this path leads to as well as the clarity of the way, so it will follow it towards its objective. Thus, this band of individuals will
discover the ideology
with both its idea and its method and will embrace it as a deeply rooted ’Aqeedah. This group will embody the ideology and
the
’Aqeedah, which together with
the
Hizbi culture, will be the bond that
binds the individuals in this group.
The existence of this aware group within the Ummah is a natural manner and its
launching forth into the work is only natural. One of the major pitfalls that occur
often in regards to this aware group is their moving directly from sensation to action. This leads to the failure of
their revolution and the exhausting
of their stores of enthusiasm and zeal. For this reason we state that this small aware group would
be in a state of bewilderment
and anxiety. It would see a number
of paths lying in front of it and is confused about which path it should take. From
amongst these are those
who move from sensation directly to action as we have already
mentioned and others
have chosen a method
that is not in harmony with the thought that they have
arrived at, so they use
the style of preaching
and giving guidance
for example. Others have taken up arms and combined that with preaching (exhortation) and guidance
(Al-Wa’zh and Al-Irshaad) whilst some have adopted the approach focused upon building the personality
of the individual. This is in addition to many other different paths that have
been adopted.
This is down
to the difference
in respect to the proportion of awareness present within them. Built upon this, the Mantiq Al-Ihsaas (logic of sensation), which is
the thought arising from
the true sensation, is stronger in some as compared to others. This group (with the higher sensation)
does not stop at
the manifestations in respect to passing
a judgement upon the matters, or the knowledge related to the reasons that have led to
the decline of the
Ummah and the affliction that surround her, or knowledge of the thought by
which the reality is treated. It does not stop at these limits only to go on to
improvise a method from amongst the
methods or a path from amongst the paths. This is because this group is
accustomed to making the thought
arising from the sensation (Mantiq
Al-Ihsaas) the methodology for its thought. As such it delves into exploring the study of
all of the paths so
that they can be guided
to the correct path
and method which the thought has incorporated itself. This means that the goal and aim must be known first. This is followed by the method that reaches the accomplishment of this
aim which the thought itself incorporates within it. So it defines its
objective, understands its goal and envisages or pictures the method that
reached this target with complete clarity. In this way it would have been guided to the ideology
with its thought and its
method. It believes in it as a firm and strong belief because it is based upon its clear proofs and it is in
agreement to the Fitrah that the human has been fashioned upon. With this
belief the ideology would have been embodied within it or adopted as if it is a
belief (Aqeedah) for it. This Aqeedah and what is built upon it in terms of thoughts and what
emanates from it in terms of concepts (according to the understanding of this
collective grouping i.e. the Thaqaafah
(culture) of the Hizb) would become the bond between the people of this group.
Therefore
the Hizbi bond is represented in the Aqeedah Al-‘Aqliyyah
(rational/intellectual belief) and the Thaqaafah Al-Hizbiyah (party culture). By the
Hizbi culture (Ath-Thaqaafah Al-Hizbiyah) we mean: The collection of thoughts that the Hizb has adopted (according to its
understanding) built upon
the Aqeedah and the
collection of concepts and rulings that emanate from this Aqeedah and the
collection of knowledge and criteria that it has believed in and adopted. This
is what represents the Hizbi bond and not just the Aqeedah alone. It as a
collective whole is the basis upon which the mentalities of its members are
formed and the basis upon which their Nafsiyyahs (dispositions) are refined,
and it is the measure for their affiliation to that Hizb.
/
When the ideology becomes embodied
within these individuals, it will not remain
confined in them, rather it will drive them to spread it to others. They will proceed according to its method and restrict themselves within
the
limits of the ideology. The life of these individuals will be devoted to the ideology, calling for it and fulfilling
its obligations. This Da’wah aims to make people embrace this ideology alone to the exclusion of all others, and to establish
general awareness about it. Therefore, the first circle would grow into a bloc, and the bloc would in turn grow into an ideological Hizb which would progress naturally in two tracks: First, through multiplication it will generate other
cells which embrace the ideology with
complete awareness and comprehension;
and second, through creating and building general awareness about
the
ideology throughout the Ummah. The general awareness about the ideology will
lead to the unification of the thoughts, opinions, and
beliefs within the majority if not
the whole
of the Ummah. Hence
the objective of
the Ummah, as well
as her
convictions (qana’aat) and her outlook on life, will be
unified. Therefore, the Hizb will
serve as a
melting pot, which would melt the Ummah
and purify her from the impure
and the
corrupt ideas that led to the decline of the Ummah,
or developed during the
era of
decline. The Hizb should
undertake this melting process within the Ummah,
thus
leading to the revival of the Ummah. This is a tedious
process that can only be
undertaken
by a Hizb that lives its idea, devotes its entire life
to the idea, and is aware
of its every
single step.
The human is
only regulated by
his concepts about life and his impulse and drive towards the thought is in accordance
to the level of Imaan
that he has in it. If the thought has reached the level of absolute conviction
and has even reached the level of the hearting being convened upon it, then it
is only natural that it would be the directing force in regards to his conduct
and behaviour. When he is convinced with the absolute conviction and the Tasdeeq Al-Jaazim
(decisive belief) in relation to carrying a certain thought then his sentiments (and feelings)
that emanate from
this Imaan will drive him
forward to fulfil
what is obliged upon him.
When we say
that the ideology (Mabda') is embodied within a
certain person then this means that this person has become an ideology that walks upon the earth. This means that such a person has become submissive in his
entirety (his thought
and sentiment) to
the ideology. This
means that the ideology cannot
stand to remain a prisoner and the least that can be said is
that it will visibly
be seen embodied
within that person. Above
this the presence
of concepts about this ideology makes it obligatory upon the one who
embodies them to then carry
them to the people. So from the direction of their natural conduct in
will only be in accordance to the ideology and its Ahkaam proceeding along
according to its methodology. As for what it brought in terms of defining the goal and objective, then the one who has
embodied the ideology sees that his existence in this life is for the sake of the ideology and that his aim in this life is only for
the sake of realising the aim of the ideology and the goal that it has
explained. It is therefore like that which we say in our recitation:
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي
لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Say: Verily my prayer, my rituals, my life and my death
are for Allah the Lord of the worlds, He has no partner, with this I have been
commanded and I am from the Muslims.
When we say
that his existence has become for the sake of the ideology and that he has comprehended
the meaning of his existence in the life, then this only means that:
a) Firstly:
That his conduct
will be committed to abiding by the Ahkaam of this ideology where he will abide by what he has been
commanded with or forbidden from.
b) Secondly:
That he will work to spread
it (the ideology) amongst the people by inviting to it alone and in
order to generate a general awareness upon it.
When this ideology is embodied by this first grouping that was
guided towards it, the first Halaqah
will not wait long for it to transform
into a Kutlah Hizbiyah.
Then the Kutlah Al-Hizbiyah will be transformed into a fully fledged integrated and complete ideological Hizb (party).It
will then begin to develop naturally from two angles:
The first
angle: Multiplication
of its cells through generating new cells that embrace the ideology and believe
in it by way of awareness
and a secured comprehension. The Hizb will work to embody the ideology within
them as well so that they embrace it in exactly the same way as the first grouping had
embodied it without distinction.
The second angle: This is
through the generation of the general awareness upon the ideology within the Ummah in its entirety.
The natural result of generating the general awareness of this
ideology within the Ummah
is the unification
of the opinions, thoughts and beliefs. This is a collective unification if it is not a unanimous unity (of opinions, thoughts and beliefs). In this way
the goal of the Ummah is unified, it is unified together upon its Aqeedah and its viewpoint in life.
And when we
say that the thoughts
are unified then we only mean by this that the general thoughts related to the treatment of the problems
that encompass and surround the Ummah in its specific life. These thoughts
include the like of
the statements (or thoughts) that ‘the Islamic State is the Khilafah’, followed
by ‘Who is the Khalifah?’, ‘What are his mandatory powers?’, ‘Who appoints him?’,
‘When is he stripped of his authority?’, ‘What is the economic system?’, ‘How
does the Ummah solve its economic, social and political problems?’ and what is
similar to these.
And when we
say that the opinions
are unified then this relates
to the view of the Muslims towards other than them and their relationships with
these others. This includes the like of clarifying the Ahkaam (legal rulings) related to the Dhimmi (non-Muslim
subject of Khilafah) and the correct view towards him.
As for the
unification of the beliefs,
then some thoughts related to the Aqeedah have crept into the Ummah under the influence of the Indian and Greek philosophies like Soofiyah and Kalaamiyah amongst
others. The way to cut the paths to the like
of these ideas is by establishing a firm principle within the Ummah which is that the Aqeedah is not taken
except by way of Yaqeen
(decisive certainty) and that the Khabar Al-Aahaad do not establish certainty
(Yaqeen) but only establish Zhann. The unification is also achieved by establishing the
principle related to the actions which states: That the Sharee’ah is from Allah
(swt) and that the actions
of the human are restricted to the Hukm Ash-Shar’iy. That there is no room for the ‘Aql as a source
of legislation whilst the role of the mind only relates to understanding
the Shar’iyah texts and to infer the Islamic rulings from them and that the
source of legislation is the Wahi (divine revelation) alone.
This
therefore is what we mean by the unification of the thoughts, opinions and
beliefs. The most prominent result
of this unification is the unity
of the Ummah’s goal
(objective) and that is by bring the Khilafah as the guardian of application and implementation so
that the aim of resuming
the Islamic way of life and carrying the Islamic Da’wah to the world can be realised and
accomplished.
If the Hizb has undertaken its
role in respect to unifying the thoughts, opinions and beliefs then it would
have become the melting
pot of the Ummah.
The melting pot is the vessel or container in which metals are melted
whilst eliminating
all that clings to them in terms of dirt, filth, sand and other metals or materials. Melting
the Ummah in the melting pot of the Hizb and unifying its thoughts, opinions
and beliefs leads to the removal
of the foreign thoughts,
the weak opinions
and false beliefs
that had led to the
decline of the
Ummah. This is like
the separation of
the power and potency of the Arabic
language from the Islamic power and potency which led to the weak
understanding of Islaam within the people and the application of some incorrect
Ahkaam that resulted in many calamities and problems like the Wilaayat ul-‘Ahd within
the Ruling System. Or like the thoughts that became present after the decline of the Ummah like
the view related to coexistence between Deens and the thought behind the
statement: ‘The Deen belongs to Allah and the Nation belongs to everyone’
(Ad-Deen Lillah Wa l Watanu Lil Jamee’) amongst many other thoughts. Therefore
the melting process means removing these false corrupted thoughts whilst
unifying the goal and the objective in addition to spreading the principles
related to thinking amongst other matters.
The one who
assumes the undertaking of this process is the Hizb and it is the Hizb that causes the revival within the
Ummah. This is by generating
a specific principle of thinking
that leads to the most elevated of thoughts (i.e. revival) and this is a daunting process which cannot be undertaken by other than the Hizb. This
is because the Hizb
lives by its thought, indeed the thought is its life or because its life rests
upon this thought and because it fully perceives and comprehends every one of its steps that it must take (to reach its objective).
/ This is because it is sensation that leads to thought in the Hizb. This thought would
shine in
the Ummah amidst other thoughts.
Initially, the Hizb’s thought will just be
another
thought amongst many. It will be the weakest of them because it is newly
born and
not yet deeply rooted in the Ummah. Also,
the Hizb’s thought
will not have
established
a supportive climate
for itself yet. However
it is a thought based
on the
logic of sensation (manTiq al-Ihsas) i.e. understanding of reality through direct
sensation,
it will generate an intellectual sensation, i.e. having a clear sensation.
Hence,
the deep thought, due to its
nature, purifies
whoever it impresses, making him sincere,
even if he
wished to be insincere he could not be. This thought will be embodied as
an ’Aqeedah’ and culture in this sincere person, and generates within him an unruly
outburst.
This outburst would
be nothing but an eruption which occurs in the wake
of a
combustion in the emotion and the thought, this would spread in the Da’wah a
blazing
passion, enthusiasm and truthfullness. At the same time, it would spread (in
the Da’wah) the logic (manTiq) and the thought and becomes a
fire that burns corruption and a light that enlightens the road to
righteousness (SalaH). Therefore the da’wah would be caught up in a struggle with the corrupt ideas (afkaar), the dilapidated
doctrines (‘aqaid) and the degenerate habits (‘adaat); these would try to defend
themselves.
However this defense would itself become a friction with the new
ideology,
hence increasing its strength. This struggle will continue until all these ideas,
doctrines
and methods collapse, and only
the ideology of the Party remains in the
Ummah as its thought and ’Aqeedah.’
We have said
that the general Ihsaas (sensation), that
encompassed the Ummah
when she encountered the calamities and shocks, generated a thinking
process within the Ummah. It generated a study of issues and their causes and effects. As a result of this an aware group arose that through the Mantiq Al-Ihsaas (Logic of
sensation) arrived to a collection of thoughts even if they differed along many paths and different directions. One of these ideas which
radiated in the Ummah was the idea of a political party (Hizb) arising from its sensation.
This was one thought from a collection of many
thoughts. It was one of them but it was the weakest from amongst them because it was the newest idea to be born
and come into existence and had not yet become firmly focused or had it found
for itself the suitable environments. Despite this, it nevertheless arose from
the logic of sensation i.e. from its understanding resulting from a realisation
or comprehension based on sensation which generates the intellectual sensation
i.e. generates a clear sensation as a result of deep thought. And the realisation based on sensation only arises when we think
about a sensed reality
and connect that
sensed reality with previously
sensed information
that is certain and decisive in respect to its correctness. We then as such
arrive at a sensed result (conclusion) and this result would then be a correct
and truthful thought. This therefore proceeds in accordance to the principles
of logic and this result would be correct if it is safe from sliding into a
maze. The intellectual logical method is a good method to arrive to the most
elevated of thoughts if the study that was being undertaken by it was
restricted to the sensed issues.
The thought of the Hizb only came about as a
result of thought based on sensation i.e. by a study of the sensed issues. It
was therefore an understanding that arose from a comprehension or realisation
based on sensation and it was not based on illusions,
imagination, fiction or (hypothetical) assumptions. This thought is its
stat and condition, striving so that it is focused within the Nafs and so that
the human believes in it. The result of this Imaan and focus is that it activates within the Nafs the truthful sensations arising from
witnessing the reality built upon what the Nafs possesses of Imaan i.e. what
exists in the Nafs in terms of a deep thought.
Example: If a person
meets a girl who he
does not know but is impressed by her appearance and her speech. As such he
desires to marry her so he initiates this with her and she then accepts. His
feelings and sensations towards her would be formed by his consideration of her
as his future wife and his view towards her would be in line with her being his
future wife. In return she would view the same in respect to him. However when
the topic is opened for discussion amongst the family members it becomes
apparent that she is his sister by way of breastfeeding (Ar-Ridaa’). So what
would his feelings and sensations have become now. Instead of looking towards
her as his future wife his view towards her would now have become to view her
as the sister that he must protect. As such his sensations towards her would
change in accordance to his thought about her. Similarly his
sensations/feelings (Ahaasees) would change in a third direction if he was to
discover about her that she was a communist or from the Druze or Alawi sects.
Therefore the
intellectual or thought
based sensations (Ahaasees) are sensations that launch from deep focused thoughts which are within the Nafs (person).
When the thought of the Hizb arises from a sensation then its thought would be
deep resulting from a comprehension or realisation based on sensation. As a
result of the depth of that thought then the Ahaasees (sensations/feelings)
that generated within him their source would only be the deep thought that he has believed in. The one who enjoys this type
of deep comprehension/realisation and this truthful Ihsaas (sensation), it
would only be natural
for it to be impressed
upon him and make him
someone who is sincere
(Mukhlis). And if he wished to be insincere he would not be able to do
that because that realisation and that sensation would have taken a firm hold
upon his Nafs and it would make him proceed in the direction that this thought
and sensation has made inevitable.
When this thought is embodied within the
sincere person as an Aqeedah
and a Thaqaafah (culture) it would then generate within the person an unbridled eruption (or unruly
outburst). This eruption would not be other than an explosion following the
burning that occurred in the sentiments and thought. The meeting of the thought
with the feelings upon a specific point would only push the one carrying it to move forward and sacrifice
with everything (that he has). The Mashaa’ir (sentiments/feelings) and the Ahaasees (sensations) are from the most powerful motivators for human
action. When thoughts
obliging the work
and action are united
and added to these Ahaasees
(sensations/feelings) then there would remain no hesitation within the
person that would allow it to be inactive or reluctant. Rather the Nafs is filled with and dominated by flames (i.e.
ablaze), enthusiasm and truthfulness. It would then be an obvious matter
for that to lead to the logic (Mantiq) and the thought so it would be a fire
that burns Fasaad (corruption) and a light that lights up the path of goodness.
As a result of that, the Da’wah must enter
into a sharp intellectual clash
with the corrupt thoughts,
shaky beliefs and obsolete worn out norms which would attempt to defend themselves. In this way the friction and contact
would be made with the new ideology which would lead to the increasing of its strength, the crystallisation of the
thought within the breasts o the Da’wah carriers, the development of their ‘Aqliyyaat (mentalities)
and refine their Nafsiyyaat (dispositions).
It would only be a short quick period until the thoughts, beliefs and paths would fall
apart and the ideology of
the Hizb alone would remain
within the Ummah as her only thought and this is her Aqeedah. This would happen if the situation was natural and
the door for the clash was left open. And it is because of the disbeliever’s awareness of this that
they have resorted to the dirtiest and lowest of styles to stand in the way of
the Da’wah. This includes the style of keeping people away from
the Da’wah of the Hizb by preventing
the media from
writing about or announcing any matter related to the Hizb whether in praise or to expose them. This also
includes the style of fighting
the carriers of the Da’wah in respect to their sources of income, their bodies and spreading
false and dirty propaganda
against them. This was intended to attempt to divert the Hizb from the path
that it was upon and take it away from the method that they had adopted. All of
this made this period (of transformation) take longer than what would have been
expected (had these obstacles not been there).
Once the Hizb unified the thoughts, the
doctrines, and the opinions, it will have
correctly
established the unity of the Ummah
with clear insight, thus melting and
purifying
it to become one single Ummah. Hence, the correct unity will be achieved.
Then follows the second stage of the Hizb, which is to lead the Ummah
to undertake
the work
of radical reform
in order to revive
the Ummah and to
fulfill its obligation
of carrying Islam to the world.
And when the Hizb unifies the thoughts, beliefs and
opinions, it would have produced an Ummah that was insightful; it would have
melted her (with the ideology) and purified her. It would then be one Ummah and
the correct unity would have come into being. What is important in this respect
is the unification of the general
thoughts that relate
to the regulation
of the Muslim’s life.
However this would not
occur (practically) unless
the Khilafah was
established that adopted the specific thoughts and rulings that regulate the
life of the people. As for the unification of the beliefs (Mu’taqidaat), then due to the favour of Allah Ta’Aalaa,
the fundamentals of
the Aqeedah have not been attached to misguidance or have they
been taken away despite
some of the branches
being affected by
some obscurities and clouding or misunderstandings. All of these would however be quickly removed by reinforcing a single
thought within the Ummah which is the thought that: ‘The beliefs are not taken except by way of Yaqeen
(certainty)’. By this thought alone we will be able to distance everything that
has attached itself
to the thoughts of the Aqeedah in its partialities or branches or from the Hindu, Greek or capitalist
philosophies amongst others. As for unifying the opinions
(Araa’), then the Islamic Ummah in her entirety views that it is an Ummah to the exclusion of all others and that all others are
Kuffaar (disbelievers). As
a whole she distinguishes
in her relationships
with the disbelievers
in respect to a number of
rulings (Ahkaam). They distinguish between the Kitaabi (Ahl ul Kitaab)
and the non Kitaabi for example in respect to issues related to meat that is eaten and marriage.
Built upon this success in
regards to unifying the Ummah, the Hizb moves
successfully to leading
the Ummah in a practical manner in
respect to carrying
the message to the
world and implementing
the Shar’iyah rulings
in their entirety. This is in
addition to generating
a sound methodology for
thinking (or thought) in order to bring about the true revival upon the basis of the ideology
followed by the work to spread it to all nations and peoples. This would be an affirmation of their Imaan in that they live only for the sake of
Islaam and for the
sake of carrying this
ideology to the world. This is in compliance to what has come in respect
to the Aqeedah of this ideology:
وَكَذَلِكَ
جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ
الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا
And as such
we have made you a best Ummah so that you will be witnesses over mankind and
the Messenger a witness over you (Al-Baqarah 143).
And the Messenger (saw) bore witness over us when he
(saw) conveyed the Message (Risaalah) and fulfilled the trust (Amaanah). He brought the
book of Allah ‘Azza Wa Jalla to us and the Sunnah of His Messenger (saw) and
they represent the proof and argument
against us on the Day of Judgement. So what remains for us is to
bring this proof and argument upon the remainder of the people i.e. over the world, by bringing Islaam to them
and establishing the Hujjah (proof and argument) upon them in front of Allah
‘Azza Wa Jall.
