We read the report found in your reputable newspaper, (Issue No. 26: Saturday, 5 April 2014, p. 3), under the heading: "A Party ashamed to mention the Name of its Official Spokeswoman... soft politics, crossroads between past and present", where the following was stated: "... there is a hidden practice of holiness and purity.. a holiness that made the spokeswoman for the Women's Section of Hizb ut Tahrir shy away from mentioning her name in an official press release pertaining to...

More than ever our work in Hizb ut Tahrir is more evident more pressing in its journey to achieving its altruistic goal of establishing the deepest desire of what Taqiuddin an-Nabahani (rahimahu Allah) endeavored.

It has never been clearer that the time has come to work day and night to overcome obstacles from all sorts to achieve the Prophet's (saw) ultimate goal of seeking the Ridha of Rab Alameen (Pleasure of Allah) to manifest Islam on earth. What could be more urgent than the fulfilling of the pillars of Islam?

The crown of all duties is to live by Islam, establish Islam on this earth - bring humanity to the light of Islam. The Nur that of the Almighty's Wisdom shining upon all of humanity manifest in His Ahkam Shariah to show people how to live a fulfilling life, fully respecting the mind through the absolute conviction of the Creator, recognizing the human needs to be properly fulfilled, a genuine satisfaction at all levels, and bringing a tranquility never experienced until fully embracing Islam.

Now more than ever our dawah work seeking the Nussrah from the people of power and rank is ever so urgent.  We are in the final phases, thus giving us as dawah carriers more acceleration to endure any and all obstacles that will most definitely come our way since this is no easy task but a heralding of all tasks known to Muslims world-wide.  We as dawah carriers are like the Sahabah (ra) who endure the pains and sacrifices from regimes to bring Islam to its power climax. We embark this journey with full awareness and acceptance that whatever may occur it is only what Allah subhanahu ordains for His servant. Giving the dawah carrier the tawukkul and reassurance, that Allah (swt) is the Sole Sustainer of His creations. When this crown of duties is accomplished as gloriously promised to us by the Creator, by His Will, the laborers of this formidable task will be forever remembered in the Ummah's history books alongside the names of inspirational Sahabah. The gates of the Heavens will welcome the ones who worked tirelessly and selflessly upon this thorny and bloody path as it welcomes Saad bin Muath and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and Omar bin al-Khattab... no longer fearing the death of a Jahilliyya due to the absence of a bayah to a Khaleefah.

Who can desire a nobler end to a tumultuous journey, which the enlightened Sheikh paved the path for his dawah carriers to follow in the footsteps of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw)? The working for a Khilafah "Caliphate" State in which all of Allah's Laws are implemented simultaneously and practically to emerge the submerged suffocating Ummah of Muhammad to exhale and inhale breaths of true liberation from the iron fists of their tyrant masters who have subjected them to starvation, famine, torture, banishment from their sacred Muslim lands.

Muslims everywhere must no longer be afraid to raise their voice in calling for the Haqq. No longer whispering the truth and desire for the Islamic Aqeedah to be implemented wholly without any foreign interference. Our constitution must no longer be tainted with the poisons of the West and their empty false rhetoric which is heavily fortified by our armies. Alhamdulillah, the armed forces by the grace and guidance of Allah are realizing their alliances are with the Haqq and it is only Allah's great wisdom of when the Nussrah will be granted - these sincere officers of the army, navy and aviation will topple the imperial empire of this century realizing their duty to Allah and the entire Muslim Ummah. The emperors of the past have witnessed their great walls crumble and that time has come for the walls of capitalism and democracy to crumble. The terminal effects of capitalism have thrust humanity back to the age of Jahilliya where people lived under a desolate curtain banning the rays of Shariah to shine upon the Muslims lands.

In order for our prayers and duaa to be lifted to the highest of the seven skies, working to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state must be our upmost urgent priority as the ayah for "to'mar bil khair" indeed Islam is the good for all of humankind. No longer are we to dwindle through our lives satisfied with our humble and spiritual deeds thinking if we simply smile and feed our hungry neighbor all performing the five obligatory prayers that this is sufficient - we must actively engage in political struggle as the Prophet (saw) taught us in his Sunnah. The Prophet (saw) is the embodiment of Islam and the best of human examples to follow for the success of this dunya and the Akhira. How can we fathom that our simple deeds will suffice on the Day of Reckoning when the Almighty will hold us accountable for the starving, battered, beaten brothers and sisters who had no one to shield them from their enemy due to the absence and negligence of this fardh aiyn (individual duty). All throughout the world, Muslims live upon the most resourceful of lands; hold the most precious constitution to organize their lives accordingly. Yet we have abandoned this weighty obligation due to the misconceptions and filthy lies seeped into our minds by the rulers' imams to stray us off in so many tangents that we no longer see the difference between black and white-right or wrong.

Alhamdulillah we see the Ummah awakening from its deep coma raising the rayat (flags) of the most Beloved (saw) all throughout the world calling for the Khilafah "Caliphate" for the Mu'tasim to rescue the Ummah.  It is incumbent upon every Muslim who utters laillalahh illa Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah to work with Hizb ut Tahrir to fulfill the crown of all duties. And Inshallah in doing so, we will receive the most glorious greeting on the Day of Judgment bizhin allah. It is our last chance because the Khilafah "Caliphate" is established as promised by Allah swt it will only be a matter of obedience to the ruler and the ajar (reward) will never compare to the struggle endured to build the mighty state.

((لَا يَسْتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا ۚ وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّـهُ الْحُسْنَىٰ))

"And Allah's is the inheritance of the heavens and the earth, not alike among you are those who spent before the victory and fought (and those who did not): they are more exalted in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards; and Allah has promised good to all". [al-Hadeed: 10]

Oh Allah, Lord of the Worlds, accept our deeds in complete and sincere intentions only for your Ridhaa (satisfaction).

Amid the presence of media, politicians and prominent persons, attendees flocked to the Grand Hall of the Martyr al-Zubayr Muhammad Saleh International Center for Conferences to take part in a political seminar held by Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan, on Saturday, 5 Jumada II 1435 AH corresponding to 5 April 2014 CE under the title: "Dialogue and the Political Issues in Sudan in Light of Islam [Freedom - Peace - Poverty]".

News

On April 4th 2014, Fox News reported that after spending 12 years in occupying Afghanistan, the US is finally withdrawing and leaving behind an estimated $6 billion worth of equipment, which includes military equipment as well as other items. But the discussions equipment disposal masks a deeper malaise in America's ability to win wars.

Comment

It has been reported that some 170 million pounds of vehicles, equipment and "white gear"- that's all the non-military stuff that contractors have been using, like furniture, generators, chemical toilets, air conditioners, non-classified computers and more- are being left behind. Some reports indicate that most of the $6 billion worth of materiel will indeed be sold for scrap or thrown in the junkyard. This includes 850 MRAPS (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles which have been credited with saving countless lives from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on the road, but now will either be given to an allied country (as long as they pay the shipping costs) or for scrap on the Afghan market.

In the month of February alone, Defence Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services sold 34.7 million pounds of scrap from its own vehicles and equipment to local Afghan vendors, according to figures provided to FoxNews.com. And in the past 12 months, the agency sold 387 million pounds of scrap, sending $46.5 million back to the U.S. Treasury. According to figures supplied by Army spokesperson Wayne Hall, there is currently $15.5 billion worth of Army equipment still in the country -- and $17.6 billion worth of overall U.S. military equipment, Wright said. The Army plans to retain $10.2 billion of that, including things like trucks, trailers, and MRAPs, as well as about 100,000 20-foot shipping containers carrying repair parts and other small equipment and supplies. What the US cannot, or will not, donate or sell to the Afghans or to allies is being destroyed so that it doesn't fall into the hands Taliban.

While the US deliberates on how to dispose of its military equipment, the cost of the war effort continues to mount. According to the Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government 2013 report, this accounted for roughly 20 per cent of the total amount added to the US national debt between 2001 and 2012. The report states: "The Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, taken together, will be the most expensive wars in US history-totalling somewhere between $4 trillion and $6 trillion. This includes long-term medical care and disability compensation for service members, veterans and families, military replenishment and social and economic costs. The largest portion of that bill is yet to be paid."
So after having spent circa $6 trillion in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to suppress Islam, America is exiting after witnessing defeat and humiliation. Both countries are increasingly unstable and are fast becoming hubs for Islamic revival not democracy. This increasingly threatens not only America's primacy in the Middle East and Eurasia, but also spells the end of decades of Western dominance.

Allah says in the Quran:

((إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنْفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ))

"Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah . So they will spend it; then it will be for them [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they will be gathered." [TMQ: Al-Anfal: 36]
