No Obedience to Those Who Prevent Expulsion of the Crusaders

A US general has been killed in an attack by an Afghan soldier at a British-run military academy near Kabul, US officials said on 5 August. Major Gen Harold Greene is the highest ranking US military official to have been killed since the Vietnam War. At least 15 soldiers – two British, several Americans and generals from Germany and Afghanistan were wounded. Officials said the Afghan soldier who opened fire had been shot dead.

The report reveals that there is a deep resentment against the American occupation of Afghanistan. It exists within the Afghan armed forces as well as the most capable armed forces in the region, those of Pakistan. Although the traitors in the military leadership frown upon attacks on the crusaders, regarding them as disobedience, Islam has compelled the provision of help against the Kuffar oppressors. Allah سبحانه وتعالى

وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ

“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help”.

[Surah Al-Anfal: 72]

These traitors prevent the armed from fighting our enemy, and they order them to kill our people who are fighting the crusaders. If the armed forces stand in the faces of the traitors, motivated to fight the enemy and supporting our people, we would win, and if they disobey the traitors, we would succeed. RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

«لَا طَاعَةَ لِمَخْلُوقٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ»

“No obedience for a creation in the disobedience of Allah the Almighty.” (Reported by Ahmad and Tabarani).

The Ummah is waiting for men of Imaan and reason from the armed forces to give victory to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger. The Ummah is expectant of a Musab bin Omair, Asaad bin Zuraarah, Usaid bin Hudayr and Saad bin Muadh, who supported Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and succeeded in this world and the Hereafter, so that the throne of Ar-Rahman shook at the death of Saad bin Muadh, for granting victory to Allah’s Deen. Al-Bukhaari narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say,

«اهْتَزَّ العَرْشُ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ»

“The throne of Allah shook at the death of Saad ibn Mu’adh”.

Only then will the world witness the restoration of the Khilafah and an appointment of a Khaleefah who will not prevent the armed forces from fighting the enemy, but will lead them to victory, as the Imam is the one whom people fight behind.

Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»

“Indeed, the Imam is a shield, you are protected by him and fight from behind him.”

OIC Secretary General Visits Pakistan to Remove Pressure on Traitors in Leadership over Gaza Neglect

On 4 August, while speaking at an event titled ‘Contemporary Challengers of the Muslim World: The Vision and Role of the OIC’ at the Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad, the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) Secretary-General, Iyad Ameen Abdullah Madani, said: “In 1967, the Arabs faced a defeat as Israeli forces entered the Sinai Desert, West Bank of the Jordan River and the Golan Heights. Arabs cannot imagine stopping the support for Palestinians, but practically they are not in a position to do anything.”

This shameless comment by the OIC Secretary-General has come when Israel has killed 1892 Muslims in Palestine in its 28 days war, out of which 408 are innocent children and 214 are our honorable Muslims sisters. The OIC head did not come to secure protection for the besieged Muslims of Gaza but to calm the Muslims of Pakistan, as they are enraged over the neglect of the rulers of Muslims, from Indonesia to Morocco. His visit was to provide comfort for the traitors in the political and military leadership of Pakistan who command the largest Muslim armed forces in the world and whose officers yearn to fight the Jewish state, rather than their Muslim brothers in North Waziristan.

As for the excuse of the Secretary-General on behalf of the deaf and dumb rulers of Muslim World, it is false and fabricated. The four largest Muslims armies of the Muslim world i.e. Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Iran are armed and manned to the teeth, including: 2,0141,00 Active Military Personnel, 3,300,630 Active Reserve Personnel, 1108 fighter aircrafts as well as 850 trainer aircraft that can be made battle ready, 1045 helicopters as well as an additional 148 attack helicopters, 13,957 tanks, 32,225 armored fighting vehicles, 9,773 towed artillery, 3,195 multiple-launch rocket systems, 57 submarines, 12 corvettes, 46 frigates, 480 coastal defence crafts and 55 mine warfare sea vessels.

And above all the desire for Jihad and Martyrdom is present in the sons of Muslims Ummah, which the cowardly Jews could never attain. The cowardice of Jews is well known – they are regarded as people of money, not people of war. Allah describes them in the Qur’an as people who desire life and hate death:

وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَى حَيَوةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ

“And you will find them the greediest of mankind for life, even more than the idol-worshippers. Each one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years.”

[al-Baqara: 96]

Regarding the so-called defeat of Arabs in wars with “Israel” which Iyad Ameen is referring to, they were actually staged battles to give an impression that Jews could not be defeated, which is well known, such as the example of the punishment of the Egyptian forces for contravening orders and thereby laying waste to the Jewish forces across the Barlev Line in the Ramadhan War, October 1973. When the true leadership of Muslims, the Khilafah returns very soon inshaaAllah, the Muslim Ummah would remove this foreign implanted cancer from its body once and for all.

The Khilafah will cut the Puppet Strings of US Agents

On 8 August, Dawn reported in its front-page headline, “The United States has been quietly telling Pakistani politicians that it would stay neutral if the threatened agitation in the country leads to a government change through “constitutional means” but would be opposed to a coup. This message from Washington has been delivered to government and opposition politicians and military leaders by US Ambassador Richard Olson… In a country where people believe in the myth of American influence over political developments, the words of the ambassador are seen as a bellwether of things to come. No-one could be a stronger believer of the myth than Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif himself, about whom a former US ambassador had noted: “The fact that a former prime minister believes the US could control the appointment of Pakistan’s chief of army staff speaks volumes about the myth of American influence here.”

There is no myth of American control over Pakistan. The people are witness as to how the US ambassador, visiting US political and military officials hold close camera meetings with traitors in Pakistan’s leadership. This close contact is the means by which the master controls his puppets. The puppets then repeat the words of the puppet masters. It is such contact which has allowed American objectives to be fulfilled at great cost to Pakistan, in terms of stability and prosperity. The Khilafah alone will cut the strings of agents in the Muslim World because it has the only constitution which forbids such contact with the foreign belligerent nation. Any politician or military official found making such contact will be subject to trial. As Hizb ut Tahrir has adopted in its Introduction to the Constitution, in Article 189, “States with whom we do not have treaties, and the actual imperialist states, such as Britain, America and France, and those states that have designs on the State, such as Russia, are legally considered to be belligerent states. All precautions must be taken towards them and it would be wrong to establish diplomatic relations with them.” And in the same article’s Clause 4 it has stated, “States that are actually belligerent states, such as Israel for example, a state of war must be taken as the basis for all dealings with them. They must be dealt with as if a real war existed between us – irrespective of whether an armistice exists between us or not – and all their subjects are prevented from entering the State.”

War on Terror is America’s War, Not Ours

Those who see the War on Terror as Pakistan’s Armed forces versus anti-State militants should reconsider their stance. The War on Terror is in reality a War between America and its agents in the civil and military leadership on the one hand and the Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan on the other hand. If we change our political prism, things sit in perfectly. The American agents in Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership have allowed America to build its intelligence network in Pakistan which orchestrates bomb blasts in Pakistan. These bomb blasts are then used as an excuse by American agents in Pakistan to deploy Pakistan Army in FATA and use it as a fuel for America’s War. These very agents have been meeting American officials begging them to keep its troops in Afghanistan beyond 2016 and keep providing financing to them. America and its agents are the real enemy.

Extract from DAWN news item attached below: “The general also emphasized the importance of personal relationships during this period of transition in Afghanistan as the United States was withdrawing its forces and the Afghans were taking over security responsibilities…He recalled that while serving as the commander of Regional Command East in Afghanistan in 2010, he visited the 11th Corps commander in Pakistan, a lieutenant general who was a 2006 graduate of the US National Defence University…The Pakistani general also knew others who’d graduated from NDU, which helped him to build a personal relationship with him right from the outset, the US commander said. “That means if we have something going on, on the border, I can get on the phone and call him up,” he said. “It helped immensely, and I think we’ve got to continue working on relationships like those.”

The Illusion of Choice and Change, Democracy or Dictatorship

On Friday 8 August, Imran Khan held the current regime responsible for possible military intervention, as he declared that his party would proceed with its march on August 14.He unveiled a white paper on the government’s one year economic performance, highlighting that inflation has increased from five to nine per cent, electricity tariff has risen 80% and the power circular debt has returned. He also highlighted the corruption of the ruling Sharif dynasty by listing several high end London properties

For nearly seven decades Pakistan has swung from democracy to dictatorship and back again. What has remained is the man-made law which is the cause of the problems throughout this period. The swings between democracy and dictatorship give an illusion of choice and change but the reality is that in both men exploit the country through making laws according to their whims and desires. Pakistan will only achieve relief once Islam is implemented, through its ruling system, the Khilafah. Consider the observations raised by Imran Khan, there is no solution for them in democracy or dictatorship. However, in accordance to Islam, inflation will be cut from its root by currency being grounded firmly on gold and silver, the power sector will become a public property whose benefit it for the people and the rulers will have their assets examined before and after ruling, with the surplus being placed in the State Treasury. Only the Khilafah will bring change as it will end the system of whims and desires, replacing it by a system which implements all that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has revealed. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,

وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ

“And judge between them by all that Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires, and beware (O Muhammad) lest they might seduce you from even some of what Allah has sent down to you.”

[Surah Al-Maaida 5:49]

The Khilafah’s Exemplary Care of Minorities

At a time that Pakistan is rocked by attacks on religious and ethnic minorities, the history of the Khilafah reveals the superiority of Islam in looking after the affairs. The Khilafah is a state in which the divine law is implemented. It is a state in which every citizen of the State is equal before the law, whether he/she is a Muslim or a Non-Muslim. If only we are able to objectively study Islamic history and can see past the Orientalist attempts to distort the mighty Islamic Civilization we would come to realize that it was only under the Islamic State, that humanity really prospered as a whole. The Khilafah was a state which showed exemplary tolerance towards minorities and which set a shining example for the treatment of minorities under the rule of Islam so much so that its worst enemies were forced to give its example as a standard to emulate. Voltaire, the champion of secular anti-religious thought, wrote about the famed tolerance in Islamic lands in his ‘Treatise on Tolerance’: “Let us reach out from our narrow little sphere for a moment, and examine what goes on in the rest of the globe. The Turkish prince, for example, rules peacefully over twenty races of different religious conviction; two hundred thousand Greeks live in Constantinople in perfect safety, and the Mufti himself nominates and presents the Greek patriarch to his emperor; there is even a Roman Catholic patriarch living there. The Sultan nominates Catholic bishops to some of the Greek islands, with the following words: ‘I commend him to go and reside as bishop on the Isle of Chios in accordance with its ancient customs and vain ceremonies’. This empire is stuffed with Jacobites, Nestorians, Monothelites, Coptics, Christians of St John, Jews, Gebers and Banians. The annals of Turkey bear no record of a revolt raised by any of these religious communities. Go to India, to Persia, to Tartary, and you will find the same evidence of tolerance and mutual respect.”

To all our brothers in Imran Khan’s PTI

Just a year ago the Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir had discussions regarding change with you. It’s the system brothers. Not the faces. No reform or patchwork would make it better. It’s rotten from the core. Human beings cannot make laws, even if they are sincere. The human intellect is limited, often contradicts itself and is effected by its surroundings. Democracy is not the rule of the people. Once representatives are elected, it is they who rule. People only get to vote and that’s it. And across the world, in established democracies, powerful interests and big businesses manage to either get in to assemblies directly or are able to influence the elected representatives to make laws in their favor.

Islam has taken out this corruption from the system of Khilafah. The Khalifah does not make laws, he adopts them from the Quran and Sunnah. While executive power rests with the Khalifah, the legislative power does not. Have you not seen what dictators do. Once they abuse power they get legal cover for their abuses by making laws and get them rubber stamped either from the judiciary or their handpicked assemblies. That is why even if an unjust ruler comes to power in Khilafah, his ability to harm the people remains limited. Brothers, real revolution will come when a fundamentally new approach towards governance is adopted. A new system based on new ideas and new laws. Khilafah for Pakistan.

“Israel” the West’s Dagger Implanted in the Body of the Islamic Ummah

The Muslims seethe at the inaction of the rulers of Muslims before the Jewish State’s aggression against the Muslims of Gaza. To calm the Muslims, the rulers of Pakistan call for Western intervention. However, the full folly of this call is clear because the Jewish State is itself a Western project against the Muslims and their unification under the Khilafah. In 1902, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Prime Minister of Britain [1905-08], warned of the Muslims strength were they to unify and the needs for the Jewish state. He said, “There are people who control spacious territories teeming with manifest and hidden resources. They dominate the intersections of world routes. Their lands were the cradles of human civilizations and religions. These people have one faith, one language, one history and the same aspirations. No natural barriers can isolate these people from one another … if, per chance, this nation were to be unified into one state, it would then take the fate of the world into its hands and would separate Europe from the rest of the world. Taking these considerations seriously, a foreign body [Israel] should be planted in the heart of this nation to prevent the convergence of its wings in such a way that it could exhaust its powers in never-ending wars. It could also serve as a springboard for the West to gain its coveted objects.”

Soon Insha’Allah the Khilafah will return and then the Jewish entity aggressors will run in fear, with their fear reaching to the extent that they will perceive that the rocks and trees behind which they hide will betray them! RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

«لا تقوم الساعة حتى يقاتل المسلمون اليهود، فيقتلهم المسلمون حتى يختبئ اليهودي من وراء الحجر والشجر، فيقول الحجر أو الشجر: يا مسلم، يا عبد الله، هذا يهودي خلفي، فتعال فاقتله.. إلا الغرقد، فإنه من شجر اليهود»

“The Day of Judgment will not come until the Muslims fight the Yahood and the Muslims will kill them to the point that the Yahood will hide behind the rocks and trees. The (Jews would feel that the) rocks and the trees are saying: O Muslim, O Abdullah there is a Yahoodi behind me so come and kill him. Except for the Gharqad tree which is from the trees of Jews”. (Sahih Muslim).
