The Muslim Anarchist Charter asserts that:
- there is no god but God and Muhammad (aws) is God’s prophet and messenger;
- the purpose of life is to establish a loving relationship with The One through a hermeneutic engagement with God’s signs (ayat) in revelation, creation, and in the human mind and heart;
- such a purpose requires a wholehearted commitment to learning in all its forms (including experiential learning) where such learning is carried out freely, consciously refusing to compromise with institutional governance in any form, be it academic, cultural, judicial, religious, social, corporate or political;
- such a purpose requires the active pursuit of justice founded on the principle of habitus/malaka, with the aim of establishing communities and societies where peaceful cultural evolution is uninhibited by power, poverty, or ignorance;
- such a purpose requires an affinity with all peoples who define themselves as living within cultures of Judeo-Christian-Islamic origin in which both commonalities and differences are acknowledged and understood, and disagreement engenders debate rather than division and satire but never mockery.
The Muslim Anarchist Charter rejects absolutely:
- all forms of violence and political coercion;
- all forms of racism and prejudice, including Islamophobia, homophobia and neurelitism.
