One of the speakers, Abu Atallah, “ rise of the Caliphate
would mean that borders become obsolete, nationalist ideology would be
abandoned and Muslims would control the military
Some key points mentioned in the draft constitution:
• Article 1
states that ‘aqeedah (Islamic creed) will be the sole basis of the State’s
foundation. The government’s structure in its entirety can only exist if it is
from the Islamic ‘aqeeda.
• Article 7
describes that the State will be charged with implementing “divine law”,
therefore those “guilty of apostasy (murtad) from Islam are to be executed
according to the rule of apostasy…”
• Article 23
details the eight institutions of the Caliphate system, which includes an Amir
of Jihad (war). The Amir of Jihad will oversee all war-related activities in
the government.
• In the
“Army” section, Article 56 states, “Jihad is a compulsory duty (fard) on all
Muslims. Military training is therefore compulsory. Thus, every male Muslim,
fifteen years and over, is obliged to undergo military training in readiness
for jihad.
• The social
system of the Caliphate would strictly enforce gender segregation between the
two sexes, and while women will have the same rights and obligations as men, a
woman’s primary role “is that of a mother and wife,” and she may not hold any positions
of power within the structure of governance. (Articles 108-118)
• In
reference to trade with foreign nations, Article 157 states that “Any country
we have real war between us and its citizens (such as Israel) is excluded” from
trading with the Caliphate and its citizens.
• Article
194, Section 3, describes “imperialist states” like the UK, U.S., France, and
Russia as potentially belligerent states that do not have a treaty with the
Caliphate
