Summary of Sunni concepts
How did the nation deviated from the concept of ruling according to Sharia law?
Muslims neglected the words of God Almighty
Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord, and do not follow any friends other than Him
Little do you remember
And about the great monotheistic rule
There is no obedience to a creature if it disobeys the Creator
So they abandoned the worship of obedience and following, or part of it
To the rulers and governors
And fanatical sectarian scholars
And the sheikhs of Sufi orders
In addition to the hypocrites
Those who were prepared by the ignorance and naivety that dominated the nation
We can mention four main reasons for deviation from the ruling according to Sharia law
She
Firstly
The stagnation and closing of the door to jurisprudential ijtihad since the fourth century AH
Which led to confusion in judging new disasters
Secondly
The wrong concept of worship
Which limits it to devotional rituals
From prayer, fasting, Hajj, etc
Without worshiping obedience and following everything that God has revealed
In the minds of most Muslims, Sharia was isolated from other matters of life
A bitter schizophrenia arose between religion and life and religion and the state
Third
Western colonialism
Who promoted governance with his systems that he claims to advance
And it is the reason for his alleged civilizational advancement
He appointed governments that obeyed his regimes over the Islamic peoples
Fourth
The secularists of Western colonialism
Who helped their masters by promoting the idea of separating religion from the state
Worship should be limited to mosques
It has nothing to do with organizing people's lives and affairs
It was divided between the three major countries of the Islamic world
In the period from the tenth to the twelfth century AH
Corresponding to the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries AD
The Safavid state in Persia
And the Mughal state in India
And the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean basin
As for the Safavid state
Her affiliation to Islam
My name and photo
It is a Twelver Shiite Shiite state
It is based on the opinions and whims of fanatical Shiite men
All its concern is fighting the Sunni Ottoman Empire
As for the Mongol state
It was founded at a time of weakness of the Islamic nation at the end of the Abbasid era
Which is filled with misguided concepts and deviant intellectual doctrines
The Mongols did not embrace pure Islam
Rather, they entered into it in the deviant image of his children at a time
This was facilitated by ignorance of Islam
The small number of Muslims in India compared to Hindus
Abolishing the use of English to rule according to Islamic law
Without any significant opposition
As for the Ottoman Empire
Despite its commendable efforts to spread Sunni Islam in general
With the presence of some Sufi heresies
In addition to its efforts to resist the Byzantine West and the Mongol-Tatar East
However, it was not able to completely eliminate the deviation and backwardness that it inherited from its predecessors
It is also intolerant of the Hanafi school of thought
It led to opposition to opening the door to ijtihad
Which had been closed since the fourth century AH
Which led to the failure of jurisprudential deduction to keep pace with modern facts
Foreign laws were imported
Rule other than Sharia law gradually entered the state with good will
Without paying attention to its danger
Until the situation reached the point where the secularists became empowered
Advocates of the idea of separation of religion from the state
From ruling in most Muslim countries after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate
With the support of Western colonial powers
The majority of the nation fell into the wilderness of ruling other than what God revealed and going astray
And so we can say
The deviation of Muslims is due to their ignorance of the truth of their religion and God’s law in life
Their inability to keep pace with events
It was the main outlet for secularism to spread to Muslim countries
And ruling therein is by other than what God has revealed
