A critique on the theory of ISIL caliphate with emphasis on Sunni doctrines

Emphasizing of Salafi Jihadi doctrines, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria in order to fulfill its long-held dream of an Islamic caliphate. Despite the unwavering support of regional and global powers seeking their own interests in the victory of ISIL, there is no doubt that recruiting the youth from around the world, despite the loss of many of its territories, is a sign of popularity and attractiveness of Isis among some Sunni Muslims. Introducing Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the caliph of all Muslims was an attempt to recreate the nostalgic atmosphere of beginning of Islam and the arrival of the first caliph in the Muslim minds. However, despite the efforts of ISIL's intellectuals and their supporters in the field, al-Baghdadi's caliphate has been considered by many Sunni figures to be in conflict with theological-jurisprudential principles. They have failed to respond to these criticisms. A better explanation of this fact can create a fundamental obstacle in the way of this process and overcome to their baseless attractions. In this essay, it is proved that the main stream Sunni doctrines are in conflict with Isis claims of ideal Islamic state (caliphate). The Isis supporters cannot even prove the fundamental conditions of their caliphate.
