1. What i don't understand is what do you all mean by a Khilafat?

2. Are you referring to the Iranian model? Where the religious body decides who can run for the post of President?
Can Iran be called an Islamic model of governance?

3. I think in the Osmania khilfate, there wasn't any group of priests etc. who decided who would be the khilafa?
***Please correct me if i am wrong.

4. Also, the Osmania was a dynasty, correct? From father to son?

5. Whereas in the days after your prophet, people were chosen from his followers?

Well, if you study the model yourself, you'd know better...and btw, I didn't hear anyone in the interview say they want Khilafah...is it Hizb ut-Tahrir's mission statement in general?

The word Khilafat means succession, and the Khalifa is a successor to a Prophet of Allah whose goal is to carry to completion the tasks of reformation and moral training that were seeded by the Prophet. The community of followers of a Prophet of Allah continues to nurture its faith and practices under the blessing of the institution of Khilafat for as long as Allah wishes. Allah says in the Holy Quran:

"Allah had promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious." (Surah Al-Nur, Verse 56)

Just as Allah appoints a Prophet, it is He who appoints a Khalifa as well. He chooses the person who is most eligible to become a Khalifa, and guides a group of pious believers into manifesting His Will through a process of selection of the Khalifa. Thus, it may apparently seem that the Khalifa is chosen by a group of pious people, but it is in fact the Will of Allah that guides their faculties into choosing the Khalifa of His Choice. Once a Khalifa is selected, he remains a Khalifa for the rest of his life as a living testament to Divine Will.

Khilafat establishes the authority of Allah on earth, and the Khalifa strives to uphold that authority within the community of followers. For the believers, Khilafat is an embodiment of Allahs Unity, as they choose to take divine authority through the person of the Khalifa. The believers partake of the blessings of Khilafat by holding firm to their faith and practices, united under him.
