Statement Of Association Of Muslim Scholars In Iraq On Establishment Of New ‘Islamic Caliphate' In Iraq And Syria
01 July 2014
Praise be to Allah, and peace and
blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family,
companions and his allies :
The declaration of the official spokesman of the
organization of Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant,
the establishment of what he called an 'Islamic
caliphate' in the liberated areas of both Iraq and
Syria, and as saying: It was a nomination of a caliph
to the Muslims, and so became the duty of all Muslims
to pledge allegiance to him.
Here we are about this announcement we are repeating
what we said when the organization of 'Tawhid and
Jihad in Mesopotamia' had announced for its own
Islamic State in Iraq in 2007, which is that any party
announces a state or emirate - whether an Islamic or
non-Islamic - under these conditions, it is not in the
interest of Iraq and its unity now,and will be taken
as a pretext to divide the country and harming people,
furthermore this announcement took place in areas
still fighting, the ongoing battle between the parties
attack and retreat, and there is no empowerment to any
of these parties yet, besides, the organizers of the
safe areas are unable to provide the minimum limits of
their means of livelihood for the people there, the
people today suffer from tightness of the living, and
lack of the most basic necessities of life, and they
are scared of their fate, which will end up to it in
light of all this, more importantly, who had announced
the caliphate did not consult neither with the people
of Iraq and Syria, nor the influential people and
elders there, who represent the base of the pledge of
allegiance, and place of it.
The announcement of the establishment of any state -
not to mention the caliphate - is not before providing
the prerequisite for success, otherwise a failure will
be reflected on everyone, these prerequisite
including: The development of the basic building
blocks of the management institutions in accordance
with the new system, and the presence of the structure
and realistic of the state, and its ability to impose
the order which adopted, and its capability to provide
the minimum limits for the necessities of the people
and their needs, and so on, for the time being, all
this did not happen, and so the pledge of allegiance -
in this case - is not binding legally to any one of
the people, and we recommend you to back down from
this declaration for sake of the revolution and the
revolutionaries, and taking into account the interests
of the people and country.
