[Episode 1]

Imam Ahmad, who died in 241 AH, in his “Musnad,” stated that, “The Prophet (saw) said, 

«إِذَا خَرَجَ ثَلاَثَةٌ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلْيُؤَمِّرُوا أَحَدَهُمْ»

‘If there are three in travel, let them appoint one of them as an Emir.’” Ibn Tamiyyah explained, “Thus, the Prophet (saw) commanded the appointing of an emir over a group that is undertaking traveling, which is binding for all types of groups. This is because Allah (swt) has commanded enjoining all that is good and forbidding all that is munkar. This can only be done with strength and emirate... With respect to this it was narrated, ‘The ruler is the shade of Allah (swt) on earth.’”

[Episode 2]

In his “Sunan”, ad-Darimi, who died in 255 AH, narrated from Umar (ra) who said, “There is no Islam, without a community. There is no community, without an Imarah. There is no Imarah, without obedience. Whoever is made ruler by his people, according to Fiqh (juristic understanding of Deen), there is life for him and for them. Whoever is made ruler by his people, according to other than Fiqh, there is ruin for him and for them.”

Monday, 28 Safaar 1446 AH - 02 September 2024 CE

[Episode 3]

Imam Mawardi, who died in 450 AH, said in his book “ al-Ahkam as- Sultaniyyah,” that, “The Imaamah is established to succeed after the Prophethood, in guarding the Deen and the politics of the world. It is contracted upon the one who undertakes the duty within the Ummah. It is an obligation by Unanimous Consensus (Ijma’a).”

Tuesday, 29 Safaar 1446 AH - 03 September 2024 CE

[Episode 4]

Imam Al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi, who died in 463 AH, said, in “Tarikh Baghdad,” that, “The Muhajireen and the Ansar unanimously agreed upon the Khilafah of Abu Bakr (ra). They said to him, ‘O Khaleefah of the Messenger of Allah (saw).’ No one was additionally named with him. It is said that he (ra) succeeded the Prophet (saw) upon the authority of thirty thousand Muslims. Each of them said to Abu Bakr, ‘O Khaleefah of the Messenger of Allah (saw).’ They were satisfied with him and those who were after him, may Allah (swt) be pleased with them.”

Wednesday, 01 Rabi Al-Awwal 1446 AH - 04 September 2024 CE

[Episode 5]

The jurist Abu Al-Fath ash-Shahrastaani, who died in 548 AH, said in his book “Nihayat al-Aqdaam,” that, “And it neither occurred to Abu Bakr (ra), nor to anyone else, that it is permissible for the earth to be without an Imam (Khaleefah). So all of this is evidence that the Companions (ra), who are the foremost, were all in agreement that there must be an Imam. So, that is Ijma’a (Unanimous Consensus). It is a definite evidence of the obligation of the Imaamah (Khilafah).”

Thursday, 02 Rabi Al-Awwal 1446 AH - 05 September 2024 CE

[Episode 6]

Imam an-Nawawi, who died in 676 AH, said in his book “Al-Manhaj Sharh Sahih Muslim,” that, “It was established by Unanimous Consensus (Ijma’a) that the Muslims must appoint a Khalifah. Its obligation is based upon Shariah, and not human reasoning.”

Friday, 03 Rabi Al-Awwal 1446 AH - 06 September 2024 CE

[Episode 7]

Ibn Taymiyyah (rh), who died in 728 AH, said in his book, “Mujmoo’ al- Fatawwa,” that, “It is obligatory to know that the guardianship of people is one of the greatest obligations of the Deen. Moreover, neither the Deen nor the worldly life exists without it. The sons of Adam (as) cannot achieve their interests, except by gathering. This is due to the mutual need between them. It is inevitable that they need an authority, when gathered collectively.”

Saturday, 04 Rabi Al-Awwal 1446 AH - 07 September 2024 CE

[Episode 8]

Ibn Khaldun, who died in 808 AH, said in “Al Muqaddimah,” that, “Appointing an Imam (Khaleefah) is an obligation. It’s being an obligation in the Shariah, is known by the Ijma’a (Unanimous Consensus) of the Sahabah (ra) and the Taba’een. The Companions (ra) of our beloved Prophet (saw), hastened to give Bay’ah to Abu Bakr (ra), upon his (saw) death. They handed over the responsibility of
Khilafah to him to take care of their affairs. Such was the case, in every age. The people were not left in chaos, in any age. It was settled by consensus, due to the evidence for the obligation of appointing the Imam (Khaleefah).”

Sunday, 05 Rabi Al-Awwal 1446 AH - 08 September 2024 CE

Allama Zain al-Din al-Ansari, who died in 926 AH, said in his book, “Ghayat ul-Wasul,” that, “It is obligatory for the people to appoint an Imam (Khaleefah) who fulfills their interests, such as defending frontiers, preparing the armies and subduing enemies and thieves. It is the Ijma’a (Unanimous Consensus) of the Companions (ra), after the death of the Prophet (saw), to appoint an Imam (Khaleefah). They considered this the most important of obligations. They gave it precedence over the burial of the Prophet (saw). The people in every era acted accordingly.”

Monday, 06 Rabi Al-Awwal 1446 AH - 09 September 2024 CE

Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, who died in 974 AH, said in his book, “Al-Sawa’iq Al-Muhriqah,” that, “Know also that the Companions (ra) had Ijma’a (Unanimous Consensus) that appointing the Imam (Khaleefah), after the end of the era of Prophecy, is an obligation. Moreover, they made it the most important of the obligations. They engaged themselves with this obligation, over burying the Messenger (saw).
