In contrast, many Muslims refuse to call for Islam and to work for <strong>the</strong> reestablishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Khilafah because, <strong>the</strong>y believe, it’s not a realistic goal or that it detracts <strong>from</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r activities and<br />

causes.<br />

Today, we must enthusiastically abandon <strong>the</strong> defeated and apolo getic mentality that has been fed to<br />

us. We must identify and extract <strong>the</strong> ideas and concepts which <strong>the</strong> Kuffar have injected into our<br />

minds.<br />

We must break <strong>the</strong> chains that bind us to pieces <strong>of</strong> land, and liberate ourselves <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> domination<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Muslim lands by <strong>the</strong> physical and ideological occupation by <strong>the</strong> Kuffar and <strong>the</strong>ir puppets. We<br />

can no longer allow o<strong>the</strong>rs to dictate to us what is achievable and practical. Ra<strong>the</strong>r, we must follow<br />

<strong>the</strong> method <strong>of</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong> (saaw) which is part and parcel <strong>of</strong> our Islamic belief.<br />

If we strive for Allah’s (swt) cause in <strong>the</strong> way that <strong>the</strong> Sahabah (raa) strove to support <strong>Muhammad</strong><br />

(saaw), <strong>the</strong>n surely we will achieve our promised victory, as Allah (swt) says in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an:<br />

“O you who believe! if you help Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.”<br />

(<strong>Muhammad</strong> 47:7)<br />
