CSPII Commentary: The doctrine behind the demand that Muslims not remain under Kafir authority is older: “Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers” (Koran 4:141), and believers are told not to take Jews and Christians as awliya (guardian) rather than the believers (Koran 5:51; cf. 3:28, 4:144). Classical law treats rule by non-Muslims as a condition of weakness to be endured or reversed, not as the proper end-state. Appointment to commissions is the soft form of that claim: raise Islamic power inside a Kafir system until the system no longer rules them.
