THE REALITY OF PLEDGE [BAY’AH]
In the Qur’an al kareem it is stated ;
“Lo! Those who plight their fealty to you, their fealty are actual fact with Allah and the Hand of Allah is over their hands.” [al-Fath: 10]
This verse refers to the pledge - Bay’ah. We also come to know that to take or give a pledge Bay'at is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and to give the hand on the Messenger’s [salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam] hand is as if he has pledged with Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Unfortunately we are unable to pledge directly upon the hands of the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, but we can do it through the khulafa’; vicegerents.
