Assalam-O-Alaikum!

If Khilafah is restored again (INSHALLAH) then who would you like to become a Caliph?

Al Ghazali wrote the "Nasihat al-Muluk" or "Advice for Kings" to a Seljuq Sultan in which he gave ten different ethics of royal administration:
The ruler should understand the importance and danger of the authority entrusted to him. In authority there is great blessing, since he who exercises it righteously obtained unsurpassed happiness but if any ruler fails to do so he incurs torment surpassed only by the torment for unbelief.
The ruler should always be thirsting to meet devout religious scholars and ask them for advice.
The ruler should understand that he must not covet the wives of other men and be content with personally refraining from injustice, but must discipline his slave-troops, servants, and officers and never tolerate unjust conduct by them; for he will be interrogated not only about his own unjust deeds but also about those of his staff.
The ruler should not be dominated by pride; for pride gives rise to the dominance of anger, and will impel him to revenge. Anger is the evil genius and blight of the intellect. If anger is becoming dominant it will be necessary for the ruler in all his affairs to bend his inclinations in the direction of forgiveness and make a habit of generosity and forbearance unless he is to be like the wild beasts.
In every situation that arises, the ruler should figure that he is the subject and the other person is the holder of authority. He should not sanction for others anything that he would not sanction for himself. For if he would do so he would be making fraudulent and treasonable use of the authority entrusted to him.
The ruler should not disregard the attendance of petitioners at his court and should beware of the danger of so doing. He should solve the grievances of the Muslims.
The ruler should not form a habit of indulging the passions. Although he might dress more finely or eat more sumptuously, he should be content with all that he has; for without contentment, just conduct will not be possible.
The ruler should make the utmost effort to behave gently and avoid governing harshly.
The ruler should endeavor to keep all the subjects pleased with him. The ruler should not let himself be so deluded by the praise he gets from any who approach him as to believe that all the subjects are pleased with him. On the contrary, such praise is entirely due to fear. He must therefore appoint trustworthy persons to carry on espionage and inquire about his standing among the people, so that he may be able to learn his faults from men's tongues.
The ruler should not give satisfaction to any person if a contravention of God's law would be required to please him for no harm will come from such a person's displeasure.

[Hsmrcahr]

Imam mehdi, ofcourse !!!

[LeslieMoran]

Assalamu alaykum

Looking at the present status of ummah, I see Imam mahdi is the only possibility. No other scholar or a person posses the TOTAL qualities of a khalifah.

[syncFisee]

I think i ve seen something of the criteria for being Ameerul Mumineen in Hayatus sahabah. i will try to post when i get time.

I too think we will have to wait for Imam Mahdi for Khilafat to be reinstated.

Allah knows best.

Sister, I wouldn't advise you to use resources or read articles from that site, their Qadiyanis or Ahmadi's and are out of the fold of Islam.

Look in the 2nd volume on what umar said regarding the qualities an Amir should have.

The Qualities of a Khalifah as Described by Hadhrat Umar(ra)

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra) says, "I served Umar (ra) in a manner that no other member of his family served him. I was also very informal with him in a manner that no member of his household was. He would sit with me and show me a lot of respect. We were sitting alone in his house one day when he heaved such a sigh that made me think he was about to die. I asked, 'Some grave matter of concern, O Ameerul Mu'mineen?' He replied, 'Some grave concern indeed.' 'What is it?' I asked. He then asked me to come closer to him. When I did so, he said, 'I can find no one worthy of this post of Khilaafah.' I then named certain individuals and asked him what he thought of them. These happened to be the six men whom he chose as the consultative assembly. Umar (ra) said something about each one of these men and then said, 'No person is suitable for the post of Khilaafah except someone who is strong without being harsh, who is lenient without being weak, who is generous without being extravagant and who is cautious about monetary affairs without being miserly.",

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra)also adds that Hadhrat Umar (ra) said,
"None can shoulder this post of Khilaafah besides a person who does not compromise on principles, who does not behave ostentatiously (in a boastful manner) and who does not give in to vain desires. None can shoulder this responsibility from Allaah besides someone who never utters any word that forces him to contradict his resolve and who judges with fairness even against his own people."


Hadhrat Umar (ra) once said, "It is improper for anyone to assume his post of Khilaafah except someone who possesses four qualities. Someone who is lenient without being weak, who is strong without being harsh, who is cautious about monetary affairs without being miserly and who is generous without being extravagant. If anyone of these qualities is missing, the other three will become useless."


Another narration quotes Hadhrat Umar(ra) as saying, "None can shoulder this responsibility from Allaah besides a person who does not compromise on principles, who does not behave ostentatiously who does not give in to vain desires, who is It concerned with developing his standing and who never conceals the truth even when angry."


Hadhrat Sufyaan bin Abi Awjaa narrates that Hadhrat Umar bin Khattaab(ra) once said, "By Allaah I know not whether I am a Khalifah or a king. If I am a king, then the matter is serious indeed." Someone from the audience said, "O Ameerul Mu'mineen There is a distinct difference between the two. A Khalifah only takes something rightfully and then uses it rightfully. By the grace of Allaah, you are exactly like this. On the other hand, a king oppresses people by usurping things from some and then giving them to others." Hadhrat Umar(ra) remained silent.

Assalam-O-Alaikum!

To become the ruler?? I vote for numero uno, myself!

[syncFisee]

To become the ruler?? I vote for numero uno, myself!

I know you are joking now,
but in reality i m sure you won't accept the position even if you are given the chance.

[Sapremolz]

I think i ve seen something of the criteria for being Ameerul Mumineen in Hayatus sahabah. i will try to post when i get time.

I too think we will have to wait for Imam Mahdi for Khilafat to be reinstated.

Allah knows best.

Brother, it seems wrong to offer that believers should WAIT for imam Mahdi in order to have a khilafah. It may be that he is the most excellent to lead the Muslim Ummah, but should we truly not work to reestablish and learn about and spread knowledge of the khilafah until someone unknown time in the future?

Should we truly ask believers NOT to reimplement the Deen of Islam? Because the by implementing the Deen of Islam, we please ar Rabb, and His Pleasure is the true success in this life and the next.
So in effect, by saying 'wait', we are saying do NOT seek the Pleasure of Allah! Subhanna Allah.

I offer this: insha Allah perhaps by more and more of us hoping for and working towards the khilafah and reimplementing the Deen of Islam, by spreading knowledge about it, and so on, we will galvanize others in doing so. And by galvanizing others, we are actually pleasing Allah for wanting to live according to His Deen and thus preparing the resumption of khilafah and the appearance of imam Mahdi !!!

What you said is true. Waiting without doing anything is the wrong attitude.
I just thought about something, Khilafath is fardh kifaya right. So wont every Muslim in the world be responsible for this sin.
I never thought about it earlier.

Brother, it is fardh kifaya. And in that sense, a fardh kifaya is a collective duty such that all are collectively responsible for it until all or some have fulfilled it, whichever occurs first.

And in order for the collective to be held accountable for that duty, we have to have the required knowledge of it. For example, salatul 'eid is fardh kifaya. But if you attend the salatul 'eid and I don't, we should both have the knowledge of it and my ignorance of it is not acceptable nor an excuse to miss it.

[ffflyer]

Myself. It dosnt really matter as long as he i wise, full of knowledge, and just.

I think there's a lot of good scholars in the Islamic world who are fit to lead, I would go with the majority and pick whom they pick.
