No Country with Islamic Rule among the Members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation!
On September 10, IA “Kazinform” reported: “The first Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Science and Technologies with the participation of the heads of several states began work in the capital’s Independence Palace. The Summit will determine the priorities, goals and tasks in the sphere of science, technology and innovation development in OIC member countries. The idea of convening the summit was announced by the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev during the OIC Summit in Istanbul in 2016. The theme of the Summit is “Science, Technology, Innovation and Modernization in the Islamic World”. The summit is attended by 57 participating OIC countries, as well as other international and regional organizations. In addition, during the summit, the OIC Award Ceremony for Science and Technology will be held.
OIC was established in 1969, the headquarters of the secretariat is located in the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. At the moment, the organization has 57 member states with a population of more than 1.5 billion people.
Five countries and five international organizations have observer status in OIC. Kazakhstan has been a member of the OIC since 1995. The Permanent Mission of Kazakhstan in OIC has been operating in Jeddah since March 2010. Let’s also note that Kazakhstan presided at the 38th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of OIC, held in July 28-30, 2011”.
The modern world, in which we live, is ruled by disbelief that turned everything upside down and showed lies as the truth. Muslims are ruled by disbelieving colonizers; Muslim lands were torn into 57 pieces and they formed secular states out of them. The power on these lands belonged not so long ago to the people, and the decision belonged to Allah. Today, power and decision on these lands belong to tyrants who make every effort to prevent the revival of Islam in the image of the second righteous Khilafah (Caliphate) about which our Prophet Muhammad (saw) has prophesied: “... there will be biting oppression, and it will last for as long as Allah wishes, then He will lift it if He wishes. Then there will be a Khilafah Rashida according to the method of the Prophethood”.
Formed in 1969, the Organization of Islamic Countries was renamed the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in 2011. This organization was invented by the minds of the disbelieving colonialists and got its implementation in reality by the hands of our corrupt tyrant-rulers only in order to prevent the revival of Islam. Whatever the name of this organization, it has nothing to do with Islam, except that the population of these countries is Muslim, and these so-called Islamic states are located on the lands that once were under the rule of the Shariah.
For less than 50 years of its existence, this OIC did not bring the revival of the Islamic way of life for a single moment, nor did it affect the welfare of Muslims in any of the countries of the OIC. Why do we need to hold these summits if these rulers can not solve anything themselves!? With 1.5 billion people in their arsenal and great military potential, they always implement the decision of Taghut (dictator) at the UN, as it was this time. At the summit, the Muslim rulers voiced their concern about the fate of the Muslims of Myanmar, but none of them sent their troops to save the Muslims. The vaunted President of Turkey, R. Erdogan, also attended the summit and told his concern about the fate of the Muslims of Myanmar, but he never ordered the troops of Turkey to go to save their brothers and sisters.
And how are things going in the OIC country-members!? In Kazakhstan, where this OIC summit was held, girls are forbidden to go to school wearing headscarves. In the city of Zhanaozen and from the beginning of September, about 60 schoolgirls who wear hijabs do not attend classes. The head of the city department of education intends to sue the parents who refuse to take headscarves off the girls. One of the deputies of the parliament of the country said about hijabs in schools: “School is a secular institution, and secular rules, including clothing, must be observed within its walls”. Almost all Islamic parties that call for Islam are banned in the country. The President of Kazakhstan, N. Nazarbayev, himself openly said in an interview recorded for the film “The Head of the State”: “The Kazakhs worship the spirits of their ancestors – aruah”. And the Koran says that it is necessary to worship only Allah. But we, knowing seven generations of our ancestors, being Muslims, worship also the spirits of our ancestors, I do not see anything terrible in this”.
And this state of affairs is the same in all 57 so-called Islamic countries. As was already mentioned, they have nothing in common with Islam, and even more development of science, technology and innovation is out of the question in these countries where the corrupt tyrant-rulers are in power!? These tyrants are mired and stiffened in their ignorance, what can they know about development!? These tyrants lead an animal-like way of life limited to satisfying their passions, forgetting about Allah and the problems of their people!
The development of science and technology is a consequence of the ideological development of a man. For this, one should think about the Universe, Life, Man, and about the connection of what was before, and what will follow after this life. From this complete thought must come a system that represents solutions to human problems, a method of its implementation, its preservation and conveying to the whole world. All these together form an ideology.
In the process of thinking about this complete thought, a person embarks on the path of development, and as a consequence, the development of science and technology takes place. This happened in Europe at the turn of the 18th century when the European people believed in the idea of secularism and implemented the system emanating from this idea into life – capitalism, after which the industrial revolution took place. The European countries, armed with a new ideology, became strong and spread their hegemony throughout the world.
And as we already know, the method of spreading the ideology of capitalism is colonialism in all its manifestations; military invasion, economic influence, education and political games. The disbelieving colonialists use OIC in all four directions. And this means that all the efforts of the OIC for the development of Islam, science, technology and all that is just an instrument of disbelieving colonialists to prevent the reestablishment of the second righteous State of the Khilafah (Caliphate).
In order for the development of science and technology in our countries to happen on the land where Muslims, who believe in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (saw) live, we need to return to Islam as a system for the life of a man, society and the state. It is necessary to take the Islamic doctrine, which is the only correct system conforming to the nature of a man and satisfying his/her mind, and to realize it in life, following the method of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw). And only when we all together unite and follow the path of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw), we will achieve the favor of Allah Almighty and His promise in the Noble Quran:
(وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ)
“Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.” [24:55]
