Hizb ut Tahrir East Africa, have neither faith nor confidence in the guile plan by the Zanzibar Government of National Unity heinous attempts of raising a motion to the parliament under the guise of improving Kadhis Court performance. We strongly condemn any attempts meant to impose what is termed as amendments to the gender degradation laws, which in quiddity are meant to divide the assets of previously married couples on equilibrium basis soon after separation [division of matrimonial assets]. A move that categorically contradicts the sublime Islamic teachings consequently undermines Kadhis Court remit.
These Government of National Unity deceitful moves, tantamount to all other law motions, just like the law of a child of 2011, it is sheer political pressure from foreign nations [as reported by Mwananchi News Paper on June 4, 2010, pg 1&4]. These plans were also propelled by internal cronies, the so called activists and social organizations that associate themselves with the fight for women's rights including ZAFELA [Zanzibar Female Lawyers]
We blankly declare that, despite many crafty plans and objectives, these moves are apparently meant to obliterate the small and meager portion remaining of the Islamic social and matrimonial, laws of inheritance and a child custodianship, crippling and destabilizing the Kadhis Court if not removing it completely
Oh Muslims of Zanzibar! Specially the Sheikhs, Imams and Scholars!
A devoted and caring parent always does not feel tired of their parenthood duty. We, Hizb ut-Tahrir, would like to cautiously remind you as we did last time in 2011, when the child law campaign were at the pitch and eventually made into a law. A burdensome and wicked law which will forever inflict pain, problems and a magnitude responsibilities in the history of these Islands.
Are you all aware that among other heinous things these laws recognize the fatherhood of a child could be determined and established by DNA tests? Do you know that these laws recognize marriage based on other than Islam? same sex marriages? Can't you see these will unlawfully empower and enable those who are Islamic ally unfit to inherit be considered as heirs? Can't you see this will encourage oppression and transgression until the Day of Reckoning?
The ongoing campaign against Kadhis Court is but a foreign campaign which continues in Kenya, Tanganyika and which is a long term project in Zanzibar ostensibly under the pretext of many scrupulous plots including the so-called improvement of the of the concerned department dealing with women and children issues in order to remove these responsibilities from Kadhis Court. under the guise of passing new laws. All these are done under the motto of liberation, improvement, redemption of women and children from oppression all these are deceitfully done when the innocent people are made busy for fruitless issues. That's precisely how they took advantage of the unaware people and passed into law the 2011 child law without any substantial resistance nor stiff opposition as people were concentrating on the fruitless democratic issues.
Finally, Hizb would like to warmly call all the Muslims generally and especially the Sheikhs, Imams, Scholars to adhesively stand their ground with the Hizb against this temptation and criticize openly on podiums all these wicked and heinous attempts in an Endeavour to make Ummah perceive the reality of the enmity which is surrounding them.
Also, we call upon politicians and legislators who clamour for the obliteration of the Kadhis court for their own meager worldly selfish gains to wake up and stop putting on a shameful humiliating gown in their history. They are part and parcel of the Muslims Ummah thus they ought to fear Allah Taala and not be enticed by small worldly gains and later face eternal destruction hereafter.
((يَاقَوْمِ لَكُمُ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ ظَاهِرِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ فَمَنْ يَنصُرُنَا مِنْ بَأْسِ اللَّهِ إِنْ جَاءَنَا))
Oh who you believe! You have power and authority on the land today. But who will save you from the torment of Allah if it befalls you? [TMQ Ghafir: 29]

With the entire country gripped by a desire for revolution, on 29th July 2014, the Prime Minister declared that revolution can only come through democracy. As for the opposition parties, in the build up to Pakistan's Independence Day, August 14, they have made clear that they are competing for the same throne, in the same system, with the same claim.

Britain's biggest bank HSBC is closing a range of Muslims groups' bank accounts after deeming that continuing to manage them would be beyond their "risk appetite". The decision has caused one Muslim activist, who was involved in attempts to secure the release of a British hostage in Iraq, to speak out after being told that his bank account would be closed. Anas Altikriti, chief executive of the think tank the Cordoba Foundation, said he had met with a "wall of silence" from HSBC over its decision to close his account and those of his wife and two sons aged 16 and 12 years old. The Cordoba Foundation, along with Finsbury Park Mosque in north London and the Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT) have also been told their accounts are to be closed by the bank. An HSBC spokesman said, "We do not discuss relationships we may or may not have with a customer, nor confirm whether an individual or business is, or has been a customer. In general terms, decisions to end a customer relationship are not taken lightly, but are absolutely not based on the race or religion of a customer. "Discrimination against customers on grounds of race or religion is immoral, unacceptable and illegal, and HSBC has comprehensive rules and policies in place to ensure race or religion are never factors in the decisions we make."

The war against Islam in the UK has now taken on a new turn and this includes denying Muslims main stream financial activities that are guaranteed for all citizens. The financial boycott of Muslims living in the UK is a new phenomenon and begs the question how long are Muslim populations safe in the West.
Saudi Arabia has given Lebanon's military $1bn to help its fight against self-declared jihadist fighters on the Syrian border. The Saudi gift came as Lebanon army's chief urged France to speed up promised weapons supplies and amid reports that a group of Muslim religious leaders were trying to mediate an end to the fighting. After fighting in the eastern area on Tuesday, where troops have been clashing with the fighters since Saturday, ambulances entered the town of Arsal amid reports of a temporary truce. Earlier, three out of 20 police officers detained by the fighters were released, according to police sources, reportedly as part of negotiations for a ceasefire. While France has said it will respond "quickly" to Lebanon's request to expedite weapons delivery, Saudi Arabia has gone further and handed Lebanon's army $1bn to strengthen security, according to Saad Hariri, former Lebanese prime minister. Saudi King Abdullah "has informed me of his generous decision to provide the Lebanese army ... with $1bn to strengthen its capabilities to preserve Lebanon's security," Hariri announced in Jeddah early on Wednesday. Speaking from King Abdullah's palace in the Saudi Red Sea city, Hariri - the Lebanese Sunni community's most prominent political representative - added that "we have received this aid". "This aid is very important especially at this time when Lebanon is fighting terrorism," he said. Saudi Arabia is already financing a $3bn package of French military equipment and arms for Lebanon's army. The fighting in Arsal is the worst violence to hit the volatile border region since the 2011 outbreak of the armed uprising in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad. Speaking to AFP, Lebanon's army Chief General Jean Kahwaji said the military was hamstrung in its fight against the fighters." This battle requires equipment, material and technology that the army doesn't have," Kahwaji said. "That's why we need to speed up the delivery of the necessary military aid by finalizing the list of weapons requested from France under a Saudi-financed deal." [Source: Aljazeera]
True to form, Saudi Arabia is again propping up regimes with financial aid to fight the emergence of political Islam. Earlier, the Saudi's lavished aid on Egypt's Sisi to put down Muslims craving for the return of Shariah. Yet, when it really matters to give aid, money and weapons to Muslims to fight the Jewish state in Gaza, the Saudi regime quickly becomes inconspicuous. If the Saudi regime was sincere, it should lead the effort to liberate Palestine from Zionist occupation.
The Government of Pakistan Thursday condemned the incident of US drone strike that took place in Datta Khel, North Waziristan on Wednesday, August 6, 2014. According to a Foreign Office statement, Pakistan regards such strikes as a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. "These strikes also have a negative impact on the Government's efforts to bring peace and stability in Pakistan and the region. We therefore expect immediate cessation of such strikes," the statement said.
If the Pakistani government was serious about putting a permanent end to American airstrikes on Pakistani territory then the government should terminate its relationship with America. This is in compliance with the following aya.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاء تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءكُم مِّنَ الْحَقِّ يُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ أَن تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَادًا فِي سَبِيلِي وَابْتِغَاء مَرْضَاتِي تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا أَخْفَيْتُمْ وَمَا أَعْلَنتُمْ وَمَن يَفْعَلْهُ مِنكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاء السَّبِيلِ
"Oh you who have Iman, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah , your Lord. If you have come out for jihad in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way."
