Mulla "what if the shura is a collection of homosexual criminal elements with long beards and with fake degrees printed in a printing press."
nah, you wont be eligible for the shura :)
come on brothers, are you going to take Mulla's words seriously?
anyway, coming to the questions raised by brother haris. i must say, that those are very important questions. because anyone who knows the situation of the Islamic world knows that there is a severe under-current within the Ummah and the Ummah is yearning for the re-establishment of the khilafah. and the re-establishment of the khilafah is a promise from Allah (SWT) so we should know the details of the khilafah before it has been established.
if you have the time, you can read this booklet for all the details of the process; http://www.khilafah.com/index.php/the-khilafah/issues/1752-the-method-to-appoint-a-khaleefah
you have the basic understanding already Alhamdulillah, just take out some time to read the details.
now as for the current parliament being the shura, that is not true because the shura is not just an arabic name for the parliament. if my memory serves me right, we had a discussion about the constitution of Pakistan in which i presented some points to prove that it is not Islamic. i didn't get any response from you, so i don't know where you stand at the moment. but anyway i will assume that even if you do not agree with my opinion, at least you understood what i was saying. and given that, any act of the parliament is not from Islam because the basis for their legislation is not Islamic. in fact Islam does not give the right of legislation to humans. the primary role of the shura is to account the khaleefah and to advise him in administrative issues. legislation is not the job of the shura. we can go into the sharii details of this if you want.
so, thats the main difference between today's shura and the shura of the future khilafah state. if you understand this, we can move further, insha Allah.
