The So-called National Security Adviser’s Expressed Interest in deploying the Country’s Armed Forces to Donald Trump’s Proposed “International Stabilization Force” in Gaza Constitutes an Outright Betrayal against the Muslims

The United States-the main patron of the Jewish entity in its genocide against the Palestinian Muslims. By expressing interest in becoming part of Donald Trump’s proposed “International Stabilization Force” for Gaza, the so-called National Security Adviser of Bangladesh interim government-Khalilur Rahman, has displayed an extreme audacity of betrayal against the Muslims of this country. According to the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing, this interest was conveyed during meetings in Washington with U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Alison Hooker and Assistant Secretary of State Paul Kapur. Whereas, it is a betrayal of Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) to become a partner in the American plan to expel Muslims from the sacred land of Palestine and entrench the usurper Jewish entity. Allah (swt) says:

[لا يَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ]

“Let not believers take disbelievers as allies [i.e., supporters or protectors] rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no association] with Allāh...” [Surah Aali-'Imran: 28]. Protesting against this betrayal is an obligation upon the Muslims. The people must demand a clear and unequivocal stance from sincere political candidates in the forthcoming elections against Western colonial disbelieving powers. Moreover, political groups that accept the Americans as allies must be rejected outrightly.

O People of the Country, you have all witnessed that this Adviser of the Interim Government has been actively working to implement the American agenda from the very beginning. Then how is it possible that such a person is being tolerated in such a critical and sensitive position? At a time when American aggression—from Venezuela to across the world—has turned the United States into an enemy of humanity, and when the people of this country are protesting against the arrogance of Donald Trump, the public is rejecting this reckless decision of the interim government with utter contempt.

O Sincere Officers of our Armed Forces! It is your duty of iman to liberate the blessed land of Palestine and to reject all military alliances with colonial disbelieving powers. Such alliances compel Muslims to fight under the leadership of disbelieving forces, beneath the banner of Kufr, for the purpose of protecting a Kufr entity—everything about which is haram. Fighting is not permitted for a Muslim except under Muslim leadership and beneath the banner of Islam. Imam Ahmad and an-Nasa’i narrate from Anas (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «لاَ تَسْتَضِيئُوا بِنَارِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ» “Do not take light from the fire of the Polytheists”. In order to keep your blood pure from these wars of disbelief, you must place yourselves under the leadership of the Khilafah (Caliphate) and, in order to achieve this objective, you must hand over the authority to Hizb ut Tahrir—the sincere political party working for the establishment of the Khilafah upon the method of the Prophethood. The forthcoming Khilafah will empower you to repel American aggression, and then your roar alone will be sufficient to protect the Muslims of Palestine and oppressed humanity across the world.

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ الْجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ]

“Indeed, Allāh has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allāh, so they kill and are killed...” [Surah At-Tawbah: 111]
