APPENDIX 1 ABROGATION.<br />
Abrogation is defined by the scholars of usool as the tot<strong>al</strong><br />
suspension of a law by a law reve<strong>al</strong>ed later on in time.<br />
Abrogation only occurred in the time of the prophet(pbuh) and ceased<br />
to occur after his death.<br />
Example the hadith of the prophet (pbuh):<br />
ةﺮﺧﻵﺎﺑ ﻢآﺮآﺬﺗ ﺎﻬﻧﺈﻓ ﺎهوروﺰﻓ ﻻ أ , رﻮﺒﻘﻟا ةرﺎﻳز ﻦﻋ ﻢﻜﺘﻴﻬﻧ ﺖﻨآ<br />
“ I used to forbid you from visiting the graves, nay visit them for it will<br />
remind you of the hereafter”.<br />
This is c<strong>al</strong>led a clear abrogation.<br />
It contains a clear indication that the action was once forbidden, by the<br />
use of the words “I used to forbid you.”<br />
It <strong>al</strong>so contains a clear indication that it is now <strong>al</strong>lowed, by the use of<br />
the words “ visit them”<br />
I intend to show (insha Allah) that the command of the prophet (pbuh)<br />
not to fight, whilst he was in mecca has been abrogated, and replaced<br />
by the order to fight. So if we find ourselves in a similar situation as<br />
the prophet was in Mecca, we would be obliged to fight in order to<br />
make the sovereignty for Allah <strong>al</strong>one. Thus there is no basis for saying<br />
jihad cannot be used to establish the Islamic state.<br />
In order for us to get to our intended go<strong>al</strong> we need to first understand<br />
the following points;<br />
1) What type of fighting was forbidden for the muslims in mecca?<br />
2) What are the supposed abrogating verse ?<br />
3) What is the proof of it abrogating the previous verse ?<br />
