Pictured above is the last caliph Sultan Abdülmecid Efendi on his way to Friday prayers, 1923.
My name is Abdul Malik and I am a Sunni Muslim who follows the Hanafi madhhab (school of jurisprudence). I have a degree in theology from the University of Birmingham. I have worked as a teacher, journalist, project manager, interpreter, shop assistant and security guard.
This blog will present mainstream Islamic views on the Caliphate, with a focus on recognised classical scholars. Too much of the present day narrative on this subject is voiced by extremist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS. We should not allow them to hijack this subject. An understanding of the importance of the Caliphate is vital for all Muslims, especially at a time when it does not exist in the Muslim world. Please tell others about this blog and feel free to leave comments.
The Caliphate 
Aselam Wealeykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
May Allah reward you for your effort and grant you what you desire(everything kheyr) and make it all for something good ameen
To follow the commands of Allah the most merciful is paramount for any Muslim.
Alabado sea al-Lah ( Dios Verdadero) grandemente, que al-Lah les recompense con un gran bien
Assalamu Alaykum
Dear Abdul Malik thank you for keeping the memory and obligation of the Caliphate alive!
Wa ‘alaykum salam wa rahmatu’Llah. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement Sidi. I very much enjoy your Youtube videos and your presence on Twitter is invaluable.
As-salamu alaikum,
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for this citation:

but regrettably it is untrue. I have never translated this book.
My best wishes for your sterling work on defending and promoting the Sunna and fiqh.

Wa ‘alaykum salam wa rahmatu’Llah.
Jazakum Allahu Khayra for you kind words of encouragement.
My apologies for giving the unintended impression that you had translated the entire book. This has now been amended.
The translated excerpt I used was from your website here: http://www.bogvaerker.dk/wordpress/?p=206
And if I may could I take the opportunity to wish you and your family an early Eid Mubarak.
Wassalam
Abdul Malik
Assalamu alaikum,
Thank you very much, for indeed I had forgotten having translated this passage.
May Allah bless the remains of Ramadan for you and us, and may He bless us all with a joyous Eid.
Was-Salam,
