mind God for God is Well-Acquainted
with all that you do".
(5: 8: cf. 4:135)
"Verily God will dei'end those who be-
lieve, ..., those who, if We establish them
in the Land, establish regular Prayers and
give Zakah, enjoin the right and forbid the
wiong. With God rests the end (and deci-
sion) of all affairs".
(22:38-41)
4. Formed for the above-mentioned purposes and esta-
blished to enforce the Law of God, the Islamic State cannot
be controlled by any political party of a non-Islamic plat-
form or subjected to foreign powers. It has to be independent
to exercise its due authority on Behalf of God and in His
Cause. This originates from the principle that a Muslim is
one who submits to God alone and pledges loyalty to His
Law, offering utmost co-operation and support to those who
administer the Law and observe its stipulations. It is incom-
patible with Islam, therefore, for a Muslim nation to pledge
support to any political party of a non-Islamic platform or to
yield to a non-Islamic government of alien origins and aims.
"And never will God grant to the unbeliev-
ers a way (to triumph or rule) over the be-
lievers".
(4:141)
