The document discusses the foreign policy goals and strategies of the United States and Russia over the coming decade:
1) The US aims to maintain its global influence despite recent setbacks, but faces challenges retaining power after being "humbled" by failures in Iraq and Afghanistan and a massive debt crisis.
2) Russia is resurgent after gaining control of its resources and modernizing its military. It seeks to counter US influence and bring former Soviet states back into its sphere by using relations with countries like Iran, signing arms deals with nations like India and China, and establishing economic and security agreements with former Soviet republics.
3) By 2010, Russia likely will have consolidated control over 70% of the former Soviet Union
This document discusses the principles of Islam regarding foreign policy and international relations. It states that the basis of Islamic foreign policy is conveying the message of Islam to all peoples and nations. It discusses how the Prophet Muhammad established foreign policy to spread Islam, and how subsequent Islamic states and empires continued this objective. The document asserts that spreading Islam is a fixed concept in Islamic foreign policy that does not change based on who rules. It argues the Khilafah's foreign policy must be based on developing political plans and styles to achieve this goal of taking Islam to the world, understanding capitalism's influence today and analyzing the current global situation.
The document discusses education in the Muslim world historically and presently. It notes that historically, under the Khilafah, the Muslim world excelled in education and made major scientific contributions. Formal education began with the establishment of madrassas and universities like Al-Azhar. However, in the modern era Western powers undermined Islamic education to promote their own culture and values, contributing to the decline of the Muslim world. Currently, education in Muslim countries remains poor, not serving to develop the ummah. The document argues for an Islamic education system under the Khilafah to preserve Islamic culture and develop the ummah.
This document discusses several issues with democracy as it currently exists. It argues that democracy is coming under scrutiny in countries like the US and UK, and is seen as sliding towards oligarchy and autocracy due to money's influence over politics. Lobbying and corruption are seen as polluting the political process. The document questions why democracy is being forcibly exported through violence when it is not even in good shape in Western countries. It concludes that recent events support the view that democracies often "waste, exhaust, and murder themselves."
The document discusses economic crises from an Islamic perspective. It provides background on currency and balance of payments, noting that crises can occur due to issues with either. Specifically, it states that when the gold standard was used, monetary stability was higher, but the use of fiat currencies and the abandonment of backing currencies with gold have led to more frequent crises. The document analyzes historical systems like Bretton Woods and explains how imbalances in these systems contributed to economic difficulties.
The Khaleefah's authority comes from the pledge of allegiance (bay'ah) of the Muslim public. To rule, the Khaleefah must fulfill mandatory conditions like being Muslim, male, just, and competent. The bay'ah contract binds the Khaleefah to rule by Shariah and the public to obey the Khaleefah. The Khaleefah can be removed if he violates the conditions. Historically, the bay'ah process determined how each new Khaleefah assumed power. In modern times, the most appropriate method is through elections where Muslims vote to select the Khaleefah from candidates shortlisted by an elected council. Unlike democratic systems, the Khaleefah
The document provides rational arguments for the existence of God as the creator. It argues that everything in the universe is finite and limited, needing sustenance to exist, so must have been created by something unlimited. It also argues that scientific methods cannot prove or disprove God's existence, as God is not physical or testable. The document concludes that through rational thought, the only solution is that an infinite, eternal creator brought the dependent, finite universe into being.
