ONE JAMA’AT - ONE AMEER: The Organization of a Muslim Community in the Age of Fitan
by: Imran N. Hosein
This book first attempts a selective yet conclusive demonstration of the fact that we now live in the age of Fitan described by Prophet Muhammad (s) as the last age, or the age which will witness the end of history. It then points out that the Prophet (s) has given specific instructions that Muslims must hold on firmly to the (authentic) Jama'ah and to the Ameer/Imam (leader) in the age of Fitan if they are to survive the great trials and evil of this age with their faith intact.
The Jama'ah (also known as Jama'at) is the community of believers organized as a united body, led by a single male believer, and functioning in accordance with the sacred law of Islam. It is precisely because the authentic Jama'ah is indispensable for the survival of faith of Muslims in the age of Fitan, that the world of Islam witnessed that massive attack on the integrity of its collective existence which culminated with the destruction of the Caliphate in 1924.
Much of the book is devoted to an elaborate description of the authentic Jama'ah - what it is, how it is constituted and organized, and how it functions. It is the opinion of the author that such an authentic Jama'ah as described in this book does not exist in the island of Trinidad (where this book is published), or in the rest of the Caribbean. The author recognizes, however, that very commendable efforts have been made by Muslims of African origin to establish that authentic Jama'ah.
It is the duty of Muslims to promptly organize themselves collectively as a single authentic Jama'ah in whichever region of the world they may reside. The Muslims of the Caribbean, therefore, or at least the Muslim community of Trinidad, should be constituted as a single Jama'ah with a single Ameer. Perhaps Muslims will have to await the advent of Imam al-Mahdi before the entire world of Islam (or what is left of it after today's modern godless western civilization is finished with its work of reducing all of mankind to godlessness) will be organized as a single Jama'ah with a single Ameer/Khalifa.
When once the authentic Jama'ah has been established in any territory of the world it would become obligatory for each and every Muslim individual, group or Association in that territory to join the Jama'ah and submit to the authority of the Ameer of the Jama'ah. The Prophet (s) declared in his Farewell Sermon (Khutbah al-Wida) that we should obey our Ameer even if he be a black Abyssinian (i.e., a black man of African origin) with a head (of hair) (as curly as) dried grapes or prunes. If Muslims refrain from entering into that authentic Jama'ah and from submitting to the authority of the authentic Ameer/Imam, they will then face the consequence of dying a death which was described by the blessed Prophet (s) as death in a state of Jahiliyah ("fa qad maata maitatan jahiliyyah").
