There are Muslim-majority countries which declared Islam as the ‘STATE Religion’ in their constitutions. The report goes:

“Of the 46 countries (actually 52) in the world with majority Muslim populations, 23 declared Islam to be the state religion in their constitutions. The rest either proclaim the state to be secular or make no pronouncement concerning an official religion.”

The 23 countries where Islam is declared the state religion, are:
Afghanistan,
Algeria,
Bahrain,
Bangladesh,
Brunei,
Egypt,
Iran,
Iraq,
Jordan,
Kuwait,
Libya,
Malaysia,
Maldives,
Mauritania,
Morocco,
Oman,
Pakistan,
Qatar,
Saudi Arabia,
Somalia,
Tunisia,
the United Arab Emirates,
and Yemen.

The question comes, does a a country become a Land of Islam which declares Islam as the ‘State Religion’?
In this article we will try to get the answer, En Shaa Allah.

The first thing is to understand, what does this ‘State Religion’ mean?
Does the state itself have a religion?
Or Is it to declare how the state is governing?
Or is it to declare that the state will run religiously?
Or Is it to declare that the state will follow religious guidelines in governing its affairs?

In fact, when you come to know a country’s constitution says that its religion is Islam, you would think this country follows a religion, this country governs its affairs with a religion and that religion is Islam.
Therefore, it’s a land of Islam.

But what do we see in reality when we dig into the Constitution itself?
We find these constitutions are full of contradictions.
Most of these countries constitution also declared the country as secular thus the legislation is based on the Kuffar’s (secular) laws.
Most of these countries declared sovereignty to the people thus giving people the authority to make their own law.
Most of these countries follow the system of the Kufr of democracy.
Most of these countries take the UN, the head of the Taghut as their Rabb therefore, they follow the UN letter by letter.
These are the major contradictions within their constitutions.

So, the question remains, why do those countries mention Islam as a ‘State Religion’?
Is It to declare its identity and alignment towards Islam?

It could be due to many reasons, such as;
Showing an alignment towards Islam, only due to political corruption or for many it could be a first step towards implementing Islamic Shariah. Allah knows best.

(3)
Whatever the reason is, merely declaring Islam as a ‘State Religion’ has no significance in terms of its status to be considering it as a Land of Islam unless at least the Major 4 criteria are fulfilled, such as
(1) Eliminating secularism,
(2) Declaring Sovereignty to Allah,
(3) Discarding democracy,
(4) Declaring Shariah is the only source of legislation in its constitution.

(4)
Therefore, let’s evaluate the status of these countries in regards to Hijrah:

Afghanistan ***
Algeria – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy)
Bahrain – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Shariah principal source)
Bangladesh – KUFR AKBAR (Secular, Sovereignty to people, Democracy)
Brunei ***
Egypt – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Shariah Principal Source)
Iran ***
Iraq – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Islam is FOUNDATION source)
Jordan – KUFR AKBAR (Democracy, Separate Courts)
Kuwait – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Islam is FOUNDATION source)
Libya – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Shariah is MAIN source)
Malaysia – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Separate Courts)
Maldives – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Islam is ONE of the basis of Law)
Mauritania – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy)
Morocco – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy,)
Oman – KUFR AKBAR (Enacted Kuffar’s Law, Islamic Sharia is the basis for legislation)
Pakistan – KUFR AKBAR (Democracy)
Qatar – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy, Shariah is MAIN source)
Saudi Arabia ***
Somalia – KUFR AKBAR (Democracy)
Tunisia – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy)
United Arab Emirates – KUFR AKBAR (Enacted Kuffar’s Law, Shari’a is a main source of legislation)
and
Yemen – KUFR AKBAR (Sovereignty to people, Democracy)

Please read the following articles for references as to how those countries became the ‘Land of Kufr’ by engaging in ‘Kufr Akbar’.

Land of ISLAM vs Land of KUFR – Evaluating the STATUS of Muslim-populated lands – (3) List of the SECULAR countries, the LANDS of KUFR.

(6)
We found that all these countries except Brunei, Iran and Saudi Arabia fail to stand-out to the fact what it meant by declaring ‘Islam as the State Religion’.

(7)
The issue of Afghanistan remains outside our evaluation because its constitution holds no value after the Taliban took over power. We will assess Afghanistan based on the actions of the current Taliban government until their stance on the constitution becomes clear.

And we can assess according to our knowledge only while it is Allah who knows the best.
May Allah guide the corruptors of the Muslim-majority lands.
May Allah free those Muslim-majority lands from the hands of these Taghut.
Ameen.
May Allah make this beneficial.

List of the Muslim-majority countries those who INTENDED to legislate by the SHARIAH but followed ‘MAJORITY’ by adopting ‘Kuffar’s Deen’, democracy thus became the LANDS of KUFR.

(1)
The light that was extinguished :

Wasn’t it astonishing knowing there are a few constitutions among the Muslim-majority countries those who mentioned that ‘the state would be governed by the Shariah Law’ or the wordings with similar meanings in their constitutions?

Well, at least it was for us! It was amazing to know those lands existed. At least, knowing that there are lands that can officially be regarded as the ‘lands of Islam‘.
But soon the amazement turned to despair!

Subhanallah!
What a heartbreaking fact it is when you see a country explicitly mention in its constitution that there will be no laws against the Quran and Sunnah yet they followed the Kuffar’s Deen by adopting the format of the ‘Majority’ component of democracy.

Though they followed democracy, they didn’t declare ‘sovereignty to the people’*, meaning, they didn’t intend to make their own laws or any laws against the Shairah but for the sake of collective opinions, they followed the form of democracy, the ‘majority’ component of the democracy.

Thus there is a clear line of deviation here from Allah’s Deen, from Allah’s Shariah which is that they applied the format of democracy to rule by Allah’s Shariah.

(2)
For the confused ones:

One may question,
What’s wrong in applying the format of democracy if they rule the country by Allah’s Shariah?
The answer is that in democracy it is obligatory to follow the majority while in Islam it is not. Therefore, to make something obligatory on Muslims which originated from the Kuffar’s system/ Kuffar’s ways is clearly following the Kuffar’s Deen.

You can say, this protects the Ameer from becoming a dictator while a decision based on majority opinion is safer.

We say,
(1) Allah’s Shariah did not make it obligatory for Muslims to follow the majority, rather it came from the ‘Shariah of the Kuffar’.
(2) We don’t go by what is logical, convenient and safer when it goes against our Deen.
(3) Therefore, applying this majority ruling on Muslim affairs by following the ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’ is clearly Haram.

The question is, can we call it Kufr?
We say we would evaluate it to the extent what is understood by the Hadith of Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam where He said, (narrated by ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar)

“Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”
(Narrated by Abu Dawud, 3512; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Irwa al-Ghalil, 2691)

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah Rahimullah said:
“This at the very least indicates that it is Haram to imitate them, although the apparent meaning is that the one who imitates them is a Kafir.”
(Iqtida al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, 237)

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/45200/ruling-on-imitating-the-disbelievers

Based on this, we say a Muslim MUST REJECT the format of democracy which is clearly Haram and Kufr even though the intention is to rule by Allah’s Shariah.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah give them the strength to discard the aspect of democracy from their constitutions.
May Allah make these lands a true Islamic land.


(3)
So, who are those Muslim-majority countries?

Here is the list:
Pakistan (96% Muslim)
Somalia (99%)
The Maldives (98%)

Subhanallah! Based on our research on the official status according to the constitutions, we found that these countries are the second-best countries among all the 52 Muslim-majority countries/ lands in the world.

(4)
So, let’s see what these constitutions say about Allah’s Shariah:

Pakistan:
Article 227:
“All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah, in this part referred to as the Injunctions of Islam, and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such Injunctions.”

https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/constitution/part9.html
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Pakistan_2018

The Amendment of Constitution 18th June 1991
Article 3.
Supremacy of Shari’ah.
(l)
“The Shari’ah that is to say the Injunctions of Islam as laid in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah, shall be the supreme law of Pakistan.”
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/legislation/1991/actXof1991.html

The Zina Ordinance (also referred to as the Zina laws) is part of the Hadood Ordinances, promulgated in 1979 by General Zia-ul-Haq, President of Pakistan as a first step towards implementing Shariah Law.

The text states:
“Whereas it is necessary to modify the existing law relating to Zina so as to bring it in conformity with the injunctions of Islam as set out in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah”.
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/legislation/1991/actXof1991.html

Somalia:
Article 2.3:
“No law which is not compliant with the general principles of Shari’ah can be enacted.”

Article 3. Founding Principles
3.1
“The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia is based on the foundations of the Holy Quran and the Sunna of our prophet Mohamed (PBUH) and protects the higher objectives of Shari’ah and social justice.”

The Maldives:
Article 10:
“No law contrary to any tenet of Islam shall be enacted in the Maldives”

Article 70. Legislative authority:
c. “The People’s Majlis shall not pass any law that contravenes any tenet of Islam.”

(5)
And what do their constitutions state about adopting democracy?

Pakistan:
The democratic process of election and legislation is described all over the places in the constitution of Pakistan under those particular aspects. One may read from here:
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Pakistan_2018

Somalia:
Article 1.1
“Somalia is a federal, sovereign, and democratic republic founded on inclusive representation of the people and a multiparty system and social justice.”

The Maldives:
The case of the Maldives is different from that of Pakistan and Somalia.
They have not only adopted democracy but also attributed ‘sovereignty to its people’.

Sovereignty:
Article 4. Powers of the citizens
“All the powers of the State of the Maldives are derived from, and remain with, the citizens.”

Article 5. Legislative power:
“All legislative power in the Maldives is vested in the People’s Majlis.”

Democracy:
Article 87. Voting
“Unless otherwise provided in this Constitution, all decisions of the People’s Majlis shall be decided by a majority of votes of the members present and voting.”

Therefore, the Maldives is already been on the list of 24 Muslim-majority countries those who attributed sovereignty to people that fall under the category of ‘Land of Kufr’ that we mentioned in the previous article here:

Land of ISLAM vs Land of KUFR – Evaluating the STATUS of the Muslim-populated lands – (4) List of the countries which attributed SOVEREIGNTY to the people and thus became the Lands of KUFR.

Somalia: https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Somalia_2012
Malidvies: https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Maldives_2008

The Fatwa regarding the majority in democracy is Kufr:

The Fatwa regarding this from Islamqa.info which runs under the supervision of Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munazzid, Hafizullah:

“By examining this topic (referencing all Shariah sources, mentioned in the link below) from different angles, it becomes clear that what is counted as KUFR AKBAR is the following”:

“Discussing Sharee‘ah in parliament and voting on it; this indicates that implementing sharee‘ah is conditional upon a majority vote.”

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/974/the-kufr-of-one-who-rules-according-to-other-than-what-allaah-revealed

And Allah knows best.
May Allah make it beneficial.
May Allah set us in a land where we will be able to safeguard our Deen and Dunya and safeguard our generations from following Kuffar’s Deen and obeying ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’.
May Allah forgive our sins.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.

AsSalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

Among the 52 Muslim-majority countries, we have already eliminated a total of 42 countries as the lands of Kufr. 18 of them for being Secular and 24 of them for attributing Sovereignty to people/nations.

In this article, we will mention those who have adopted part of the Shariah Law in their constitutions along with part of the Kuffar’s Law thus eliminating those countries from our prospective Hijrah list for being the lands of Kufr.

And the evidence of these countries/ lands being the ‘Lands of Kufr’ are the following:
Taken from the Fatwa from islamqa.info which was sourced to ‘Sheikh Saleh Al-Munajjid Hafizullah’:

“By examining this topic (see the link below) from different angles, it becomes clear that what is counted as KUFR AKBAR is the following:

3. “Imposing man-made laws, such as Italian, French, German law, etc., to judge between the people, or mixing these laws and Sharee‘ah, as Genghis Khan did in his book al-Yaasiq, which combined laws from different sources; the ‘ulamaa’ (scholars) ruled that he was a kaafir.”

4. “Confining the role of sharee‘ah courts to so-called “civil” matters, such as marriage, divorce and inheritance.”

5. Setting up non-sharee‘ah courts”.

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/974/the-kufr-of-one-who-rules-according-to-other-than-what-allaah-revealed

In our preliminary research we have found the following countries fall into this criteria:

Algeria (98% Muslim)
Malaysia (60%)
Oman (87%)
The Gambia (96%)
Tunisia (99.50%)
UAE (76%)

Please note, among these countries, Algeria, Malaysia, The Gambia and Tunisia are already on the ‘List of the Lands of Kufr’ for (1) attributing Sovereignty to people and (2) adopting democracy and now, they also fall in the third layer of Kufr for (3) enacting specific Kuffar’s Law besides Allah’s Shariah that we are discussing in this article.

(1)
OMAN (87% Muslim)
Constitution – Oman 1996 (rev. 2011)
We have discussed this in detail in this article:

List of the Muslim-majority countries those who made Shariah as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation thus became the LANDS of KUFR.


(2)
MALAYSIA (60% Muslim)
Democracy Index (DI) 6.01
Constitution: Year of Adoption: 1957 (rev. 2007)

Reference:
“The Malaysian court system is based on the UK legal system familiar to those from common law jurisdictions, but it also incorporates distinct characteristics in the form of Islamic religious courts and two separate High Courts for the Peninsula and for the Borneo states.”

(3)
United Arab Emirates (UAE) (76% Muslim)
Constitution – 1971 (rev. 2009)

Example (1): Alcohol Law:
Article (313)
1. “There shall be no punishment for consuming, possession or trading in alcoholic drinks in the situations and at places allowed as per applicable legislation.”

Amendment of laws:
“The UAE penal code was updated in 2020 to remove all legal forms of punishment prescribed in Sharia law, except for blood money payments;”

Federal Decree Law No. (15) of 2020
“Amending Certain Provisions of the Federal Law No. (3) of 1987
Concerning the Penal Code” states the following in Article (1):

“The provisions of the Islamic Shari’a shall apply to the retribution and blood money crimes. Other crimes and their respective punishments shall be provided for in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other applicable penal codes.”

https://www.moj.gov.ae/assets/2021/Federal%20Decree%20Law%20No.%20(15)%20of%202020%20Concerning%20the%20Penal%20Code.pdf.aspx

Example (2): Law of Zina (Adultery):
Adultery (molestation) is punishable only when it is less than 14 years of age and if it is not done with ‘free will’:

Article (356)
“Without prejudice to the previous two Articles, whoever commits sexual molestation of any person through coercion, threat or deceit, shall be subject to the punishment of temporary imprisonment.”

“Voluntary sexual molestation shall be subject to the same punishment provided for in the previous paragraph, if the age of the victim, male or female, is less than fourteen years or if the victim is of no free will due to young age, lunacy, or insanity.”

https://www.moj.gov.ae/assets/2021/Federal%20Decree%20Law%20No.%20(15)%20of%202020%20Concerning%20the%20Penal%20Code.pdf.aspx

What do you get from this law?
Whatever way the wordings are placed, it means, voluntary sexual ‘molestation’ to/ with a over 14 years old and with the ‘free will’ is not a prob.

So, these two lands clearly proved their intention of mentioning Shariah law as the ‘Basic’/ ‘Fundamental’/ ‘Main’/ ‘Major’/ ‘Principal’ source of legislation as they modified Shariah Law according to their desire, thus became the lands of KUFR.

(4)
The GAMBIA (96% Muslim)
Constitution: 1996 (rev. 2018)

Chapter 2.7. 7. The laws of The Gambia:
d. “the common law and principles of equity;”
“e. “customary law so far as concerns members of the communities to which it applies;”
f. “the Sharia as regards matters of marriage, divorce and inheritance among members of the communities to which it applies.”

Thus by enacting the laws opposite to Allah’s Law, these countries rejected Allah’s Shariah. which is KUFR AKBAR.

And Allah knows best.
May Allah guide these ‘Muslims’ to Tawheed.
May Allah set us in a land where we will be able to safeguard our Deen and Dunya and safeguard our generations from following and obeying Kuffar’s Shariah!.
May Allah forgive our sins.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
May Allah make this finding beneficial.

Evaluating the STATUS of the Muslim-majority lands – The Lands of Islam vs the Lands of Kufr – The hope is alive in the best 10 countries

Bismillah! Al Hamdulilah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulillah!
AsSalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
Ashadu An La Ilaha Illa Allah, Wa Ashadu Anna Muhammadan A’bduhu Wa Rasuluhu!

This is shocking and heartbreaking!
This is not an academic study nor a research intended to produce a PhD thesis paper to earn a certificate rather, for us, it was motivated by the Ebadah of Hijrah therefore, every finding of Kufr about our beloved Muslim lands touched us deeply.

Though we generally knew about the un-Islamic conditions and environment of the Muslim-majority lands, the acts of the Taghut, their Oppressions and the overall corruption of the regimes of those lands, but knowing the official status of these countries shocked us to the core. Allahu Musta’an.

So, here is the result so far in our research of the constitutions:

(1) 52 Muslim-majority countries,
(2) 18 countries have enacted secularism.
(3) 24 countries declared Sovereignty to people/ nation.

This means that these 42 countries (18 + 24) or the authorities of these countries have openly agreed among themselves, declared, and then legalized their declaration that:
(A) We have nothing to do with Islam and Islamic Shariah in managing the affairs of the state.
(B) We, the people and their elected representatives will decide what law is best for us. Islam can remain in the Masjid only

Thus the official status of these countries became the Lands of Kufr, thereby we had no other way but to discard those 42 (18+24) countries from our list of prospective lands of Hijrah.

Only 10 countries have kept our hope alive yet. These 10 countries saved themselves from enacting secularism and declaring Sovereignty to people/nations in their constitutions.
This means they did not declare Kufr on Islam like the authorities of those 42 countries. Al Hamdulillah!

Which are these countries?

Afghanistan
Brunei
Filistin
Iran
Jordan
Oman
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Somalia
UAE

Subhanallah!
How exciting it is to know that among these 10 countries, there are those few who have mentioned in the constitutions that “all laws of the state shall be in conformity with the Shariah of Allah”!

Yet there are so many issues about these 10 countries that each one needs an article to describe their amazing characters. In the next few articles, we will try to discover those issues about these countries, En Shaa Allah.

One might question, what’s your point in doing this brother?

Do you think people are waiting for your research to evaluate the status of these lands? We already know the Kufr, the Taghut regimes, the oppressors and the corruptors of these lands. Why are you wasting time brother?

Our answer is:
(1)
You’ve rightly thought so.
I asked myself the same questions too!
Is it worth it?
Do I have time for this?
What’s the benefit of doing this?
Then, I thought of the following:

(2)
We hear a lot of things which are mostly hearsay. We get a lot of news from many sources about the Muslim-majority countries, mostly from the Kuffar’s media. But Allah A’zza Wa Jalla instructed us to verify the news when it comes from evil-doers/ evil sources.

(3)
Hijrah is an Ebadah, therefore, we want to rely on the most authentic official sources to form our understanding of a land before we declare it as a land of Kufr. We must base our understanding on the fact findings from authentic sources so that we can select the best ones among these Muslim-majority countries to move to. May Allah help us, guide us and make it beneficial.

(4)
Today most of the Jaheel (ignorant) ‘Muslims’ cannot distinguish between Kufr, Shirk, Fusuq (disobedience) and Fahisha (immorality/ corruption). An example of this is that these Muslims were only recently stung by the LGBTQ+ movements which is a Fahisha (immorality/ corruption), but they easily accepted the Kufr and Shirk in obeying Kuffar’s Shariah by living under the Kuffar’s authority.

Therefore, these Jaheel (ignorant) Muslims think that they are making Hijrah by moving from city life to remote rural areas within the kuffar’s authority while they claim they are moving to the mountain according to the Hadiths text. La Hawla Wa La Quwata Illa Billah!
If you were to ask them why don’t you move to a Muslim-majority country?
They say those are corrupted.
And then, when it comes to moving from the Kuffar’s lands to the Muslim-majority lands, the astray ‘scholars’ pose the question, “Where is Allah’s Shariah?”

We know the reality that the kuffar have taken authority over the world, and it is impossible to establish Allah’s authority completely on earth as long as the economic supremacy of the kuffar exists, without dismantling their current fiscal authority. The Kuffar will not allow such things to happen; therefore, it is absurd to expect any land to fully implement Allah’s Shariah. However, there are countries and territories that try to implement Allah’s Shariah as much as they can.

Therefore, instead of weighing all Muslim-majority lands on the same scale, we need to understand the varying levels of these countries. While most of them intentionally choose to become lands of Kufr by adopting secularism, attributing sovereignty to people, embracing democracy, and enacting Kuffar laws alongside Shariah, there are many that were forced into this situation. Additionally, there are a few who are actively striving every day to implement the Shariah Law. Therefore, Muslims need this scrutinized information about each country before them in order to make the best decision about moving to a better Islamic land. And this research might benefit a Muslim to make his best choice, En Shaa Allah. And I ask Allah to make it beneficial for the Ummah.

(5)
Moreover, there are no real Islamic guidelines for Muslims about what factors they should consider to choosing a land for Hijrah in the context of the current times. What we see is that most contemporary scholars and many social media groups are advocating Muslims to move to a country where they can maintain a Western-standard lifestyle, which might fail to serve the purpose of Hijrah for the Muhajireen, Allah knows best, while there are many other important factors to be considered to choose a land for Hijrah in the current world situations and we tried to place those before the Ummah. May Allah accept from us.

(6)
In the end, it is every Muslim’s job to strive hard to find the best place for Hijrah according to his own situation. We are only making an attempt to put forward our findings if that helps a Muslim. And I ask Allah to accept our effort.

(7)
Our next attempt is to scrutinize these 10 countries to find the best lands for our Hijrah, En Shaa Allah. May Allah help us, and guide us to move to a land of Islam and give us protection for our Deen and Dunya. May Allah help us settle in a land where we can raise our generations out of the Kuffar’s system. Ameen.
