"The Spirit of Fatih and Muslim Youth" Conference

On the Anniversary of the Opening of Constantinople

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey organised a conference in reference to the Muhammad al-Fatih Campaign launched by the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir,"Conquest of Constantinople Glad Tiding was Achieved...to be Followed by Glad Tidings!" The conference attracted intensive attention of the Muslims in Istanbul.

The conference was chaired by Muhammed Özkan and opened with the Qur’an recitation by Hafidh Mehmet Akif Şen, members of the Youth Section of Hizb ut Tahrir.

Muhammed Budak held the opening speech on behalf of the Youth Section. He said that, "The Youth Section in Hizb ut Tahrir embraced the goal of reviving the Muslim Ummah with the Islamic ideology, for which it works day and night, not fearing any condemnations and stigmatizations." He also expressed their praise to Allah Almighty for enabling them the organisation and hosting of this conference.

After the opening speech, Musa Bayoğlu, writer at Köklü Değişim Journal, delivered his speech. He emphasized that it was the Conquests that overcame the hurdles to Islam, and that the Muslim Ummah has always been the Ummah of Conquests, and that Rasulullah (saw) was the biggest conqueror, reminding the youth of their "responsibility to materialize the heralded conquests."

The first speech was followed by the presentation of the address of the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir and Eminent Scholar Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah on the occasion of the anniversary of the Conquest of Constantinople. Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah stated in his address: "Let your hearts be reassured by the fulfilment of the three other glad tidings of the Messenger of Allah (swt), as the first one has been achieved. The Prophet (saw) gave the glad tidings of conquering Constantinople, conquering Rome, the return of the Khilafah upon the method of the Prophethood, and fighting the Jewish entity and powerfully defeating them…"

Following the address of the Ameer, a poem by Hüseyin Öztürk was recited by Hüseyin Tuksal, members of the Youth Section. Finally the last speaker, writer and Islamic theologist, Abdullah İmamoğlu gave his speech. Abdullah İmamoğlu stated, "that the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah and the conquest of Rome are Glad Tidings that will come true, just like the Glad Tiding of the conquest of Constantinople came true."

At the end of his speech, he invited the audience to join his Dua in order to realize these Glad Tidings through the hands of the Muslims today.

The event was enjoyed with great enthusiasm of the audience.

We ask our Lord to make this event a means for the realisation of conquests.
