If the Muslim Ummah, had in the past, lived in a country which did not stretch beyond the Arabian Peninsula, and which at that time numbered only a few million, and despite that when she embraced Islam and carried its message she represented a world superpower in the face of the two major camps at the time, whereupon she struck them both simultaneously, conquered their lands and spread Islam over almost the whole of the inhabited parts of the world at that time, then what are we to say about the Ummah today; numbering more than one billion, spread over countries that are geographically linked together; if she were a single state, stretching from Spain in the East to China in the West and from Turkey in the north to Malaysia in the south, occupying the best part of the world in terms of resources and strategic points, and carrying a single correct ideology to the world? She would undoubtedly constitute a front which would be stronger in every respect than the leading superpowers put together. Therefore, it is the duty of every Muslim to work from this moment on to reestablish the Islamic state. Work should commence by carrying the Islamic Da’wah with the aim of resuming the Islamic way of life in all the Muslim countries. The practical scope of the Da’wah should be in one country or some selected ones in order to achieve the point of support so that this serious task can be resumed. Such a cause with its high objective, which the Muslim should aim to achieve by treading this practical and clear path and which he must follow, should be worth enduring all types of hardship and sparing no effort for. One should rely on Allah’s help, seeking no reward for it except to gain the pleasure of Allah. This book about the Islamic state is not meant to narrate its history but to explain how the messenger of Allah established the Islamic state, and to show how the disbelieving colonialists destroyed it. It demonstrates how Muslims should re-establish their state so that the light that guided the world in the darkest of ages returns to enlighten humanity once again.
