Let's now go back to the questions if Islam has been perfected, then
why there is nothing in the tradition that dictates how rulers
should be chosen. Oh there is.
Not something has to be written to you directly. How did the prophets
of Allah when he was setting them make succession occur? How did the
Bucher bring the next video? How did Omar bring the next belief how
to say no other men bring the next video how to say now you bring the
next Khalifa how to say that hasn't bring the next study for
the prophets of Allah when he was sending also said whoever asked
for it, don't give it to him. So So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam he permitted for us that the first way to have succession
from Queen to King or ruler to ruler, is by not saying anything.
Let the people decide. And the people being the leaders of each
group, yet so you have an old world that was Trump's, the
leaders of each tribe, they come together they select somebody. And
that's what happened after the prophets of Allah when he was
saying Abu Bakr Siddiq or the Allahu Anhu he appointed say,
Norma, but not unilaterally. He called the 10 most important
Sahaba and he said, I want to appoint Allah. What do you think?
Nine of them agreed. And before he even said anything and say nobody
knew what the meeting was about? He said Let it be Oma. He said
it's all
and only once a hobby he disagreed he says, I think I wanted to be
too strict.
And then say no, but could replied and he said that when he's
actually ruling he's, he's strict because he sees me as soft. Let's
say number one, Chris said this. He sees me as layin like, like I'm
lenient, so he has to be balanced that out but when he's ruling who
actually be soft, and he was soft to the people, he was hard on the
enemies and hard on the rich and arrogant, but he was soft with the
people. How did say no matter? Give us a sunnah say normal sunnah
is that he picked six people who are all worthy of being the
Khalifa. And then he picked one trustworthy person over them, who
should never be the Khalifa. That was his son. He said, Son, you're
not going to be the faithful enough one of one from our
families. And if you are the manager of the six, these six are
to agree, they cannot differ. Right? Not different, they have to
you agree on Anna Khalifa. And they did
say Northmet
then send off man, he followed the way of the prophets and the lava
leaves and he died without doing anything. And the people again the
leaders came together and they said like to say not saying it
died doing the way the prophets license did not do a thing. They
came together they chose Hudson. And Hudson is a similar to how's
he listen? Because when he saw that there's fitna and there's two
rival conifers. What did he do? He abdicated. He said the Sunnah of
abdicating. And he abdication is permitted, abdicated the Khilafah
for the sake of the ummah. So that's how the, and then saving
them while we're, he basically made a break. He said, I'm the
first king of the Arabs. I'm not, I'm not upon the prophets way, not
because he doesn't believe in the Sunnah, where he doesn't want to
practice this, for the simple reason that the the almost too
complex, that people to trust are too little. So we're going to
follow a monarchy system. Now. We're going back to the old ways,
it's going to be in my family. And then he put in New Jersey. And he
said, I have a hope that he's going to be good have I believe
he's going to be good. And if he's not, may Allah make his range
short. So his reign was disastrous and short. And then it shifted to
Mattawan because there was no lineage left for that line of the
Manuel Mejia is shifted to Marwan then went from Marwan to Abdul
Malik to I believe that his brother, then Abdullah, no, Abdul
Malik, and then to Sulaiman adapted medic, he went in the line
of abdul-malik, then that line broke, and it went to the cousin
automotive knob that I see.
And then, shortly thereafter, the Abbasids took over. Domains ruled
for about 89 years or 88 and a half years. So the best it's
operated
as believers but essentially the monarchy right, it goes in the
family.
monarchy incense is not the prophetic way but it's also not a
forbidden.
