Most Gracious Most Merciful Khilafah Timing By Sharique Naeem Whenever the issue of reviving the Khilafah is discussed and emphasis is placed on the need to implement Islamic social, economic and ruling systems, education and foreign policies, there are always objections from some circles saying that today’s ‘ground realities’ are very different and hence, it’s not “practical” to revive the Khilafah and implement all Islamic laws at present. One must ask such people, “Were Islamic laws applied in the past due to their practicality or because it was an obligation?” Obviously, it was the latter, as applying Islamic laws after the Islamic state was formed was not due to its practicality but because it was an obligation. It would be quite naive for us to sit and wait for the “right time” to implement Islam as a complete system, while expecting present ground realities to change all by themselves.
