“Indeed, the Imam (Khalifah) is a shield; fighting is conducted from behind him and protection is sought through him.” (Agreed upon)

Only the Khilafah will Protect all Muslim Lands, including Iran and Gaza, from American Crusader Attacks

The time given by the crusader Pharaoh Trump for Iran to finalize a “deal” — an ultimatum of 10 to 15 days — is coming to an end, and clouds of war are gathering over the region. Two American naval carrier groups, USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln, have already taken up combat positions in the region. In this atmosphere of war threats, America is demanding that Iran surrender its nuclear and missile programs, as if it were the king of the earth before whom no one can dare to refuse. The US Special Envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, expressed Trump’s frustration, saying that Trump is surprised that Iran has not yet bowed before such overwhelming military power.

At this critical juncture, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Pakistan presents the following points to the people of military power, the armed forces, as well as the Ummah in general:

1) The attack on Iran is part of a long chain in which America has already directly attacked Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Iran, and Gaza, while countries such as Pakistan, Somalia, and Libya have also not been safe from American military operations, drone strikes, air raids, and other ground offensives. American General and former NATO Commander General Wesley Clark had already mentioned Pentagon plans aimed at controlling seven Muslim countries, including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. So the question is: how long will we continue to watch, one by one, as Muslim lands fall under American dominance and Muslims are slaughtered, thinking that our turn will never come? It is these national identities and borders that have shattered the unity of Muslim power and made us easy prey for the disbelievers.

2) America’s attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq, and other Muslim countries were not possible without the practical support of regional Muslim states and the presence of American military bases there. The US was able to invade Iraq with the support of countries such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar. Pakistan played a key role in the American invasion of Afghanistan. For attacks on the Muslims of Syria, America benefited from the cooperation of the Iranian regime. Even in the joint war of America and the Jewish entity against Gaza, all regional Muslim regimes sided with America and the Jewish entity. And now these treacherous rulers are part of Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace,” strengthening the American occupation of Gaza. It is clear that the rulers of Muslim countries play a disgraceful role, acting merely as agents of America. In reality, if even one country such as Pakistan, Turkey, or Egypt were to stand with Iran, the American military power in the region would be buried in the Strait of Hormuz. If Pakistan were to sink American carrier fleets with its hypersonic missiles, America’s backbone would be broken. Despite all their defense systems, American naval fleets are in reality sitting ducks. Indeed, the real affliction of the Ummah is its pro-American rulers; without removing them, no change in the Ummah’s condition can occur.

3) The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «ذِمَّةُ المُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ۔۔۔وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ» “The covenant (protection) of the Muslims is one… and they are a single hand against all others.” (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah) The Messenger of Allah (saw) also said: «المُسْلِمُ أَخُو المُسْلِمِ، لَا يَظْلِمُهُ، وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ، وَلَا يَحْقِرُهُ» “A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not oppress him, nor does he abandon him, nor does he belittle him.” (Sahih Muslim).

Despite the continued unjust conduct of the Iranian government toward Muslims, Islam obliges us to unify for the defense of Muslim lands. The command of Allah is above national interests and artificial sectarian divisions. If Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey unify under one Khilafah (Caliphate), this state would possess vast territory, a large population, abundant agricultural resources, major energy reserves, powerful armed forces, a strong military-industrial complex, advanced aircraft, missiles and air defense systems, and nuclear weapons. No disbelieving state, even America, would dare attack such a state. Even before its armies mobilize, the Jewish entity would be paralyzed with fear. Indeed, it is this Khilafah that will mobilize the Muslim armies for jihad and bring about the end of the Jewish entity. Hizb ut Tahrir calls upon the people of military power within the Pakistan Armed Forces to grant Nussrah (military support) to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah, to unite the strength of the Ummah, fulfill the command of Allah, and turn the current regional and global situation against the disbelieving states. By the will of Allah (swt), this will be a provision for their Hereafter, and Allah will grant them the reward of the Ansar (ra), who gave their Bayah pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (saw) for the establishment of the Islamic state for the first time.
