The Charter of the United Nations.
0:11
The United Nations Charter is not merely a founding document for the organization;
0:18
rather, it is a man-made legislation.
0:20
In the view of those who call themselves experts in international law, it is considered
0:25
the highest tier of international treaties,
0:28
and the most significant rule of international law in terms of status.
0:32
In their view, it is under no circumstances permissible to violate it,
0:35
just as Article 103 of the Charter stipulates
0:40
that if the obligations to which the members of the United Nations are bound
0:46
under the provisions of this Charter
0:49
conflict with any other international obligation to which they are bound,
0:52
then precedence is given to their obligations arising from this Charter.
0:57
Thus, if any state’s obligation toward another state
1:01
were in accordance with the provisions of the Sharia,
1:03
yet it contradicted the so-called United Nations Charter,
1:07
it would be considered invalid in their view;
1:09
what is to be implemented is what is contained in the Charter.
1:13
This is an opposition to the ruling of the Sharia and a defiance of it.
1:17
It is well known that a condition for joining the United Nations
1:21
is the declaration of commitment to its Charter and submission to it.
1:25
Likewise, the expulsion of any state from the United Nations
1:29
occurs if it persists in violating the principles of this Charter.
1:33
As long as this Charter contradicts the upright Sharia
1:37
in numerous matters,
1:39
as we shall demonstrate later,
1:41
then seeking judgment through it and submitting to it
1:44
is, without a doubt, seeking judgment before the Taghut (false deities/authorities),
1:47
which we have been forbidden from doing,
1:49
as Allah the Exalted said:
1:51
“Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.” (4:60)
1:54
“Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.” (4:60)
1:57
and what was revealed before you.
2:00
“Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.” (4:60)
2:03
“Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.” (4:60)
2:06
And Satan wishes to lead them far astray.
2:11
And He, the Exalted, said:
2:13
“There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (2:256)
2:17
then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it.
2:22
And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
