The group was created in 1953 by Taql al-Din al-Nabhani in Jerusalem

by a Palestinian Islamic Scholar taught in Egypt.[31][32] He made a draft for the creation of the caliphate.[33][34][11][12] The organization believes that there is always war with the kuffar (non Muslims) with Muslims. They believe Jihad is a duty to prevent disbelief until everybody becomes Muslims. They also advocate for the removal of rulers who do kufr (act that makes them non Muslim) which is a step that is required until Islam can spread globally.[35]

  1. From HT pamphlet: "In the forthcoming days the Muslims will conquer Rome and the dominion of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) will reach the whole world and the rule of the Muslims will reach as far as the day and night. And the Dīn of Muhammad (saw) will prevail over all other ways of life including Western Capitalism and the culture of Western Liberalism."[16]
  2. Founder An-Nabhani describes expansion in terms of following the example of the early Muslim salaf's invasion and conquest of Persia and Byzantium: "[S]he struck them both [Persia and Byzantium] simultaneously, conquered their lands and spread Islam over almost the whole of the inhabited parts of the world at that time, then what are we to say about the Ummah today; numbering more than one billion ... She would undoubtedly constitute a front which would be stronger in every respect than the leading superpowers put together."[30]
