Question
Many times we hear from Ulama and some senior Ulama as well, that we are living in and experiencing a constrained situation like that of the Meccan period during the time of our Prophet alayhi assalaam. This is the main reason why we cannot establish the Islamic Khilafah system with Islamic judiciary and counsel. On the hand we are told that how fortunate we are that we enjoy such freedoms in South Africa that cannot even be found in Muslim countries. We have freedom of religion which cannot be found elsewhere. Are we in an era such as the Meccan period?
Answer
The comments of the Ulama which you have mentioned are nonsensical. They are far, very far from the mark. We are not in the 'Meccan' period.
Khilaafate can be established only by the Sword of Jihad. But the Ummah has become spineless, hopeless and treacherous. Muslims nowadays excel in the art of bootlicking the kuffaar. This is the problem.
In the Meccan period there was no bootlicking. On the contrary, Muslims were tortured and killed for their Imaan. How can we be in the 'Meccan' period when these same molvis say that 'we have freedom of religion'?
