We present to the English reader, Millat Ibrāhīm, by the noble Shaykh,
Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisī, may Allāh preserve him. This particular
treatise has been an influential and significant book with many of the
contemporary Islāmic groups intent upon forming an Islāmic state.
Herein, the author draws several parallels between the form of idolatry
in the time of the Messenger of Allāh (PBUH) and that which the apostate
regimes have instituted from fabricated laws and methodologies of
falsehood in the lands of the Muslims, which are the main obstacles to
the formation of such a state.
