Why isn't more being done to establish a Caliphate?

Question

Since it is the duty of every individual Muslims and a requirement of our deen.

Answer 1

HAHAHAHA.

I'm sure Muslims are capable of governing a gigantic empire correctly, right?

Muslims cannot even manage to govern their collection of individual, squalid, poverty-stricken countries by themselves!

And no one wants to live under the Nazistic law of Sharia.

This is the free world- we will never bend to your will.

Answer 2

Once a man is in charge of power, it is hard for him to let it go. Sure, a Caliph would be of a great importance and benefit for us Muslims, but is it that easy to ask hundreds of Muslim leaders to put down their power/reign/office?

Answer 3

because people have started blaming each other before they take their own responsibilities at hand.  they have increased in their love of this world.

the Ummah of Muhammad cannot rise, unless their life is based on the love of Allah instead of the love of this world.

It is the leaders, and the general Muslims too... they have lost tawheed.

We don't have the arms, not even the army.

Answer 4

Because the step before establishing the Khilaafah is Tasfiyyah wat Tarbiyyah.

The proof is from the statement of Imaam Maalik which Ibn Taymiyyah recorded in his Majmoo' al Fataawa:

لا يصلح آخر هذه الأمة إلا ما أصلح أولها

((The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except by that which rectified the first))

And what is that which rectified the earlier generation? Khilaafah? Where was the Khilaafah for the first 13 years of Prophet hood? Where was that Khilaafah? It was not there, rather there was the establishment of Tawheed and the Ulemaa they say that the establishment of Tawheed and the correct 'Aqeedah comes before any of the Ahkaam of the deen.

Allaah says:

ولقد بعثنا في كل أمة رسولا، أنعبدوا الله واجنتب الطاغوت

and Allaah says:

وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون

And the Messenger of Allaah Salallaahu alihi wa salam said to Mu'aadh bin Jaba radhiallaahu anhul which is reported in Saheeh Bukhaaree:

أول ما تدعوهم إليه شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله

And the Hadeeth which is Muntafaqun 'Alayhi:

ألا وإن في الجسد مضغة إذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله وإذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله ألا وهى القلب

And these evidences clearly point to the statement of Imaam al-Albaanee rahimahullaah that the rectification of this Ummah will only occur through Tasfiyyah wat-Tarbiyyah.

Imaam al Bukhaaree states the chapter in his Saheeh:

باب العلم قبل القول والعمل

And he brings the Ayah:

فعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله واستغفر لذنبك

And Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhaab commented in his Thalaathatul Usool:

فبدأ بالعلم قبل القول والعمل

And the Seerah is a practical example of what has preceded.  

Answer 5

The powers that be are only interested in bettering themselves, they don't care about the "people" as it were.

Answer 6

Khilafat has already been established.  The fact is that only Allah can establish a Khalifa.  Never in the history of mankind has man alone been able to establish a Khalifa.  Khilafat has only ever been established on the precepts of Prophethood.

Ahmadi Muslims, i.e. Muslims who have accepted the Imam Mahdi and Messih, are united across over 190 countries by a Khalifa.  Tens of Millions of Muslims from all over the world are united by a Khalifa.  We do not have problems of racism, division, or any other dividing factor that sadly the Muslim world is suffering with.

The Prophet (sa) himself showed how Khilafat would be established once again in a very famous Hadeeth.

“‘Prophethood shall remain among you as long as Allah shall will. He will bring about its end and follow it with Khilafat on the precepts of prophet hood for as long as He shall will and then bring about its end. A tyrannical monarchy will then follow and will remain as long as Allah shall will and then come to an end. There will follow thereafter-monarchial despotism to last as long as Allah shall will and come to an end upon His decree. There will then emerge Khilafat on precept of Prophethood.’ The Holy Prophet said no more.” (masnad ahmad)

So Khilafat has already been established my dear friend, by Allah Himself.  It cannot be done by man.  I encourage you to come and learn about it yourself at www.alislam.org or search "Revival of Faith" on YouTube.

love for all, hatred for none
