This is a list of Muslim countries along with
their flags. It is very important to note however that none
of these countries represent Islam in government, since the
political system of Islam can only be established through a
Khilifat state. The Khilifat state is purely governed by the
Sharia law, which is the law of the Quran and the Sunnah.
Khilifat represents the unity of the Muslims, no matter
which part of the world one is from or what color or race,
as long as they are Muslims they are citizens of the
Khilifat. The Khilifat itself is a union of all the
countries which are ruled by Muslims, the sole leader of the
Muslims is known as the Khilifa, and governs the affair of
all the Muslims all over the world. Unfortunately for us
Muslims today, we are disunited and in disarray and neither
have a Khilifa nor a Khilifat.
The Prophet of Allah, Mohammed
said, "Listen! Many leaders will come after me. So, if
anyone goes to them and sides with them in their
falsehoods (non Islamic governments) and supports them
in their oppression then he has no connection with me
and I have nothing to do with him; he will not be able
to make it to the pond al-kawthar (the Prophet's
pond at which everyone will drink and become young and
beautiful before entering into paradise). But he, who
does not help them in their oppression and does not side
with them in their falsehood, is with me and I am with
him, and he will make it to al-kawthar to drink of its
water.
[Tirmizi,
Nasa'i, Jama'al-fawa'id]
The importance of a
Khilifat can not be ignored, especially in today's world
where the Muslims are misrepresented and find no
protection against invaders
. The Prophet of Allah, Mohammed
also said, "The khilifa is actually a shield for you,
like a shield in a battle kept in front of you to
protect you"
[Bukhari &
Muslim]
The dire state which the Muslims
of the world are in today can only be understood by the
following Hadith:
"He who gives up obedience to the Islamic Government (Khilifat)
and separates from the Muslim Community dies the death
of the days of ignorance."
[Muslim, Nasa'i & Jama'al-fawa'id]
Today we live in those
days of ignorance, without a leader, nor an Islamic
state, who is to blame?
The Prophet Mohammed
said, "Your leaders will represent what the majority of
you have become."
[Bukhari]
So once again we need to ask who is to blame? It is
ourselves, because we have become weak in our deen and
we do not stand up to our leaders and call for Muslim
unity. A lot of people argue that the Prophet
said not to rebel against the leader, that is true but
only under certain circumstances, the Prophet Mohammed
said,"
"Listen and obey your rulers as long as he goes by the
Book of Allah (sharia)"
[Bukhari]
So it is our duty in today's world to rise up and call
to our leaders for reform and for the formation of a
Khilifat. Excuses are by the millions under the sun, how
long will we continue making excuses for not standing up
for our rights? Look at all the nations below with
majority Muslim population and Muslim leadership. Would
it not be an amazing super power if the Muslims were
united? May Allah take us out of the days of ignorance
and unite us, ameen.
In the countries listed below you can see the
flags of the most important Muslim countries in the world. The
countries in this list are counted by majority of the
population (i.e. more than 50%) who follow the Muslim belief.
Remarkable in this criterion is the exclusion of India, the
country that has nowadays the second biggest Muslim population
in the world and of China, which has an unknown and
unregistered large number of Muslim followers.
Al-Quran,
Chapter 50 Qaf, Verse 13
In
the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair)
of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes,
that ye may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah
is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full
knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

The
Sharia' Law
The Shari`ah (Islamic law) is derived only from the
Qu'ran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Mohammed . Like the
Qu'ran, the Sunnah is inspired by revelation from Allah
. Islamic law covers all aspects of life. It deals with
how to worship Allah and how to deal with others. Allah
commands the believers to do certain things and bans
them from doing others. Allah alone, The All Knowing,
The Just, has the right to make some things lawful and
other things sinful and forbidden. An Islamic society
can legislate any laws for the improvement of life
(e.g., traffic laws) as long as they are not in
contradiction to Islamic law. Allah , The Guide and The
Director, encourages some things without commanding them
and discourages some behaviors without prohibiting them
outright. All of these injunctions, taken together, form
the law of Islam. When we add the fact that there are
issues that Islamic law considers simply permissible,
this makes five basic rulings for every human action:
Islamic law is of divine origin. The reason we obey
these laws is because Allah commands us to do so. We are
encouraged to understand the wisdom behind the law, yet
we are expected to obey even when we do not fully
understand the reasons why. Understanding is an added
gift. For example, eating pork is forbidden because
Allah said so. We refrain from eating it for that
reason, and not because we also happen to know
scientifically that it contains unique diseases and is
the least healthy meat. Even if scientists were able to
genetically breed pigs to be a disease-free and most
nutritious food, it would still be forbidden to eat
pork. (However, someone may eat pork to save his or her
life if there are no other options left, and there would
be no sin in doing so.)
The sources of Islamic law are the Qu'ran and Sunnah.
Allah considers it polytheism to allow a religious
leader to change Allah’s command by making lawful what
Allah has made forbidden, or by making forbidden what
Allah has made lawful. In this world, Allah alone
determines what is good and what is sinful. In the
Hereafter, Allah alone has the power and wisdom to
reward those who do good and punish those who do evil.
