Ashraf Ghani, the president of Afghanistan during a speech at the ceremony celebrating the Meelad of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: “We are proud that the constitution of Afghanistan is one of the best laws of the Islamic world in terms of Islamic values. Honorable scholars in Afghanistan, Hermine al-Sharifin, Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Islamic countries agree that call Dar al-Ka'fr, Fighting and creating chaos in Islamic countries is a great fitna. For those who say that Islam is in danger, we say to them that Islam is not in danger, but your killings, crimes and mischief that made Muslim times worse”.

Comment

Should we assume the authenticity of the claim and all the Afghan dictatorial, including its constitution, are Islamic, then why is there a discrimination against the Islamic laws? This line alone – from President Ghani's speech – is enough to prove his lack of education and the sign his intellectual decline. A constitution, that is the mother of all laws of a state, can only be Islamic when it is prepared by Mujtahideen through a complete and thorough study of Quran, Sunnah, Consensus of Companions and Comparison “Qiyas” following a complete method of justification “Ijtehad” from Shari'a followed by an adoption by Khalifah (Caliphate). However, the Afghan constitution – with some minor changes to respect the Islamic sentiments of the Afghan Muslims - is a copy of the French constitution and institutionalized by a traditional Afghan institution – Loya Jarga. Therefore, any law that is prepared and institutionalized by the will of the people is deemed man-made, even if it implements the Hudood of Shari'a.

The existence of chaos, murder, crimes and rebellion in the Muslim lands is due to nothing other than the implementation of the un-Islamic systems upon Muslims [of these lands]. Because, any system that conflicts with the beliefs and values of those people that it is implemented upon will create a distance between people and those who rule them – the state. However, a political system and its laws are inline with and have emerged from the beliefs of the people, it will earn and enjoy their support, protection and legitimacy through their own choice, because such systems are deemed legitimate to them. Now, when our laws are copied from the western laws and prepared by the nominal public institutions – that completely guided and funded by Kuffar – will never enjoy any support and protections from the Muslims. It is therefore, that we witness chaos, murder, corruption and rebellion; and only those so-called scholars, who are trained and raised by the same un-Islamic systems as well as are in depth of their decline do not deem the Muslim lands – under current circumstances - Dar-ul-Kufr and deem any resistance to these Kufri systems a rebellion.

No one – up until the Dooms Day – can endanger Islam, however, it is the daily lives of the Muslims – due to their complacency to lead through the implementation of Shari'a in the areas of politics, economic, social, educational, cultural, etc. – that is threatened. And this threat came to existence after the Muslim Ummah lost the Islamic State (Khalifah) due to the corruption (Fitnah) caused by the nationalistic conflicts between Arabs and Turks and falling into the depth of decline. It is quite clear that this situation will not seize to exist until and unless these dictatorial regimes – that are imposed upon the Muslim lands – are eradicated and replaced by a rightly guided Islamic state – a Khalifah that is established through the prophetic method.

We remind all the rulers of the Muslim lands, including Ashraf Ghani, that Islam cannot come through induction of the word Islamic as a suffixes or affixes, in a system that is democratic, man-made as well as by building a few religious schools and Masjids. Rather it is implemented through an Islamic political system (Islamic State), which will implement Islam in all aspects of life and will establish its foreign affairs with other nations through Da'wa and Jihad.

Can President Ghani answer to the following; what is the Islamic ruling on friendship and signing a strategic and security agreement with those Kuffar that are already in war with us? What is the Shara'I Hukm on usury, hoarding [of the foodstuff] Ihtekar in the Islamic economic system? How is the intermingling, relationship and dealings between men and women organized under the Islamic teachings? Is it allowed to carry a mass murder – especially against the Muslims gender, tribal, lingual, racial and religious discrimination, promotion of adultery (Fahsha), increase in poverty in order to force the families in need [of food and living] to join your armed forces that fights a US and NATO war against Islam?

These are a mere short list of the crimes perpetrated by you and your “Islamic Democratic” system that is support by the western governments. Thus, you must realize that the people have this realization, that it is not Islam that is threatened but the Islamic lifestyle is. It is therefore, that the people have raised against you, the cults of your type and your systems.
