In Islam, no law is higher than the Sharia, so it should have been obvious from the outset that the Taliban’s supreme leader would eventually say that the group will engage with the global community “based on Sharia.”
The Taliban has always enforced the Sharia, and will continue to do so, as well as to endeavor to expand its scope. It is attempting to recreate the society of the early days of Muhammad, as depicted in the Quran and Hadith, and in accordance with the Qur’an’s frequent exhortations to emulate the messenger.
Recently, the Taliban confirmed public whippings as per the Sharia. See HERE. The Taliban has also long stated its intention of establishing the Sharia globally, and now, thanks to Joe Biden, the group is gaining ground.
“Will engage with global community based on Sharia, says Taliban’s supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada,” WION, August 20, 2022:
Taliban’s supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada told top officials that he is ready to engage with the global community within the Sharia framework.
The Taliban leader made the announcement in Kandahar in the presence of clerics, activists and government officials. The meeting was reportedly attended by nearly 2,500 participants. The development comes as reports said United Nations may end travel ban exemptions for 13 Taliban officials.
At least 135 Taliban officials are on UN Security Council’s sanctions list which includes asset freezes and travel bans. However, 13 officials were granted exemptions from the travel ban as permanent UNSC members Russia and China backed the Taliban officials.
The exemptions for the 13 officials ended at midnight on Friday. The officials included deputy prime minister Abdul Ghani Baradar and deputy minister of foreign affairs Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai. Reports claimed the US wants the travel ban for seven Taliban officials while allowing waiver for six others for a period of 90 days….
Abdul Ghani Baradar, deputy prime minister of Afghanistan hailed the Taliban’s return saying that “the Islamic Emirate brought the world’s superpower and its allies to their knees and Afghans gained their independence”.
