Under Islamic law, in the field of battle, Muslims, keeping their interests in view, are allowed to sign ceasefire agreements with non-believer belligerent forces. They are then obliged to respect this agreement and adhere to it in good faith. Outside of these circumstances, Islamic law does not allow for any agreements that enables non-believer forces to build military bases in Muslims lands, giving them exemption from Islamic laws and giving them free rein to kill and capture Muslims in the land. Such agreements have no grounding in Islamic law and are considered illegal and unenforceable. Allah Almighty states: And never will Allah allow infidels a way on the believers (i.e. giving them supremacy over Muslims) (SuratNisa’ verse 161). From this maxim Islamic scholars hold that never can a Muslim become a slave to non-believers. When a single Muslim is not allowed to become property of a non-believer then how can it be allowed for a whole Muslim and independent nation to be enslaved to an infidel nation? The Prophet Peace be upon him stated: Islamic will be supreme and nothing will be superior over it (Baihaqi). This also explicates that non-believers scan never be superior over believers. shahamat-english/index.php/articles/50895-a-look-at-the-u-s-afghan-%E2%80%9Csecurity-and-defence-cooperation-agreement%E2%80%9D
