News Right Now: Desperate Lies

A Pakistani newspaper, Daily Aaj – Daily today – published fake news on 11th February claiming that Hizb ut Tahrir is a terrorist organization, who have links with Daesh (ISIS) or militancy.

It is very well known that Hizb ut Tahrir has been actively working for the re-establishment of the Khilafah, through political and intellectual struggle, in Muslim countries, for 70 years. There is no violence, no armed struggle and no form of force. This is all based on the method of Muhammad SAW where it’s considered haram to use such means. Therefore for the journalists at Daily Aaj to report and make such claims, truly shows their lack of journalistic work ethics. It is a duty upon such publications to ensure they research and verify such things before publishing. Do they forget that they will be accounted for their lies and slander by Allah SWT? They must remind themselves to have taqwa and diligence in their work in what they promote.

Alhamdulillah, such negative posting and maligning harms the Hizb and its work in no way. The people of Pakistan in general, and its influential in particular, recognize the ability of the aware and well-educated advocates of the Khilafah, who present the Islamic Da’wah in a convincing manner. The Hizb has acquired the intellectual leadership of the aware elite in the major cities of Pakistan, whilst advancing its political activities. The decline of democracy, the failure of the current system and political/ military leadership have focused the attention of the Ummah towards the re-establishment of the Khilafah. Pakistan’s rulers have been shaken by the comprehensive failure of the current system and the growing call for the Khilafah (Caliphate) and in desperate need for lies to be told about the Hizb to deter the work and save themselves from their inevitable doom. So in essence such news will only undermine and harm the journalistic credibility of papers like Daily Aaj.

The work and method of hizb ut tahrir after intellectually convincing the people that

-only the Khilafah has the ability to truly take care and look after everyone and

-only the Khilafah will bring harmony and justice in a world where corruption, unfairness and dehumanization is prevalent and

-only the Khilafah will show the world a place where the honour and dignity of women is held high, children/youth would be protected from impropriety and vulgarity and the old are given the position of utmost care and respect
..after all this, the work of Nussrah is very important.

Nussrah is a divine command from Allah SWT and binding upon the people of power among the Muslims, and they are sinful for their failure in this. The people of power have two duties, none any less significant than the other:

-The first duty is to take away power, or seize by force if necessary, from those rulers who rule over people other than what Allah (swt) sent down.

-And the second obligation on the people of power is to grant support to those who may be working to establish such an authority that rules by what Allah has revealed. By honouring these two obligations, the duty of Nusrah is achieved and the one who accomplishes this achieves the status of being an Ansar of Allah. Today the people of Nussrah are those who hold the power and ranks within the armies in the Muslim states.

Oh Muslim armies! It is upon you and only you to rise up, stand up, and fulfill your duties towards your Ummah and towards your Rabb! Now is the time where you are needed more than ever before! Your Ummah in Palestine, Syria, Kashmir and the rest of the world where the Ummah reside look towards YOU! Wait for YOU! Call out and scream for YOU to fulfill your two duties! Remind yourselves of your positions and your responsibilities and your accountability in front of Allah (swt).

Dear brother and sisters, we in Hizb ut Tahrir, work earnestly to bring back the rules, laws and systems of Allah SWT to be holistically implemented in the form of the Khilafah. The level of sacrifice, bravery and valor required is huge. It requires speaking up against the firawns of today which has serious consequences, it requires us risking our jobs and education because the words we utter will be disliked by the tyrants and their supporters. Therefore the work of the dawah is honourable and with the permission of Allah, will raise the ranks of the da’ees on the day of judgment, where all the sacrifices and hardships will see their fruits, afterall it is the work of the prophets AlayhumasSalam and the sahaba Radiyallahanhum. Allah (swt)says

(كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَغۡلِبَنَّ أَنَا۠ وَرُسُلِيٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٞ)

“Allah has decreed, “I and My messengers will certainly prevail.” Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.” [58:21]

May Allah (swt) preserve the Hizb and all those involved in the work and allow the ummah to join and support its work to bring back the best of the best of systems – the Khilafah Ameen!
