On the 6th of February, the BBC, Al-Jazeera and other media reported on a new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW), entitled, "‘No One is Safe' - The Abuse of Women in Iraq's Criminal Justice System". It stated that Iraqi security forces are illegally detaining thousands of women and subjecting them to torture, abuse and threats of sexual assault. Many are held for months or even years without charge because of alleged acts of terrorism committed by their husband or other male relatives. The report documented that the abuse included being, "beaten, kicked, slapped, hung upside-down and beaten on their feet, given electric shocks, and raped or threatened with sexual assault by security forces during their interrogation." Some of the women described being violated in front of their husbands, brothers and children. The study also found that most of the female detainees had no access to a lawyer and that they were being coerced into signing false confessions. One detainee stated that after 9 days of beatings, shocks, and being hung upside down had left her permanently disabled. She said that officers forced a confession of terrorism from her by threatening to rape her teenage daughter. Seven months after speaking to HRW she was executed despite dismissal of charges against her by lower court rulings. Furthermore, those security officers implicated in this torture have not been brought to justice and hence have been given permit to abuse with impunity.

Comment

The brutal legacy of Saddam and the US occupiers who followed him continues unabated under Iraq's Western-installed secular regime. Such horrific abuse carries echoes of the torture and violation that innocent Muslim women were subjected to by US prison officers in Abu Ghraib which still haunts our minds. In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, then US President, George W. Bush justified the war upon the basis of liberating the Iraqi people from oppression, including their women. One year after the invasion, he told a gathering at the White House, "Every woman in Iraq is better off because the rape rooms and torture chambers of Saddam are forever closed." It is clear however, that the lasting legacy of Western colonial occupation and any form of interference in Muslim lands has only even been to generate further oppression and humiliation for the daughters of this Ummah, as evident by the ongoing human tragedy being suffered by the women of Afghanistan. Furthermore, Saddam's rape and torture chambers have clearly been re-opened under the new management of the US puppet government in Baghdad. This holds relevant lessons with regards to the current UN and Western-led negotiations over the future of Syria aimed at weaselling in the next Western-backed regime in the country to replace its last Western-installed rulers - the Assads. It is unquestionable that the establishment of any Western-backed, Western-installed regime or secular system in Syria is bound to herald a new phase of oppression for its people, as the women of Iraq and Afghanistan have experienced first-hand.

Alongside the horrific ordeal being suffered by thousands of female Iraqi prisoners, the women of the country continue to live in an environment of lawlessness and insecurity. More than 1000 people have died this January due to the ongoing political violence according to government data. The continuing epidemic of abductions, sexual violence, and trafficking of women in the country has caused Iraq's women and girls to feel too scared to leave their homes. In addition, there are thousands of war-widows, many of whom are working in humiliating conditions or begging on street corners. Desperate poverty has forced thousands of other women to even sell their bodies, simply to afford bread to feed their children. This is the true face of the so-called liberation brought to the Muslim world by Western colonial policies and wars, and installed governments and systems. It is impossible to envisage any form of positive future for women under this current Iraqi regime or any man-made system.

The women of Iraq, Afghanistan, and all our Muslim lands are in dire and urgent need of the establishment of the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state to protect their lives and dignity as well as to ensure for them financial security. It was from Baghdad under the Khilafah "Caliphate" that Khalifah al-Mutassim sent an army 90,000 strong to the Roman Fort of Amurriyah in Al-Sham to rescue and protect a single Muslim woman who had been captured and humiliated by a Roman soldier, for this is the great status of honour that Islamic rule affords the woman. Al-Mutassim freed the woman with his own hands and apologized that she had to wait for him, saying, "Dear sister, I could not come earlier, for the way from Baghdad to you is a quite far one." It was from Baghdad under the Khilafah "Caliphate" that the Khalifah sent the great Muslim general Salahuddin Ayubi to liberate Palestine from the Christian Crusaders. It was Baghdad under the Khilafah "Caliphate" that was known as Madinat al-Salam (the City of Peace) for it was blessed with security under the rule of Islam. And it was Baghdad under the Khilafah "Caliphate" that the people enjoyed a high standard of living due to the Islamic economic system. It was narrated that when the Abassid Khalifah Harun Al-Rasheed died, his treasury department had around 630 million worth of gold dinars in surplus cash. Truly, the dignified life that every woman in Iraq and across the Muslim world deserves will only be realized through the return of the system of Allah (swt), the Khilafah "Caliphate".

On the 30th of January 2014, the Security General Directorate published the "2013 Turkey Drug Report", prepared by the Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiciton (TUBIM) with data obtained from a total of 30 different institutions and organizations. From research and reports from citizens, it is a well-known fact, that the age of drug abuse is decreasing and the spread of its use increasing day by day.

In 2012 in Turkey, almost 4 thousand children applied for treatment to 'treatment centers for substance abuse'; and close to 10 percent of the applicants were children between the ages of 12-14. According to official surveys, 20% use alcohol and an unofficial but actual data of 10% of young people use drugs. The youngest encountered age during the research was 11. It was found that pupils started with these bad habits at an average age of 13 and at school and due to their neighborhood environment.

According to the report, a total of 325 people died due to drugs. 1.2% of the deaths occurred under the age of 15, and 8% were specified between the ages 15-19. The significant increase in the number of drug deaths over the age of 65 in Turkey in recent years is another side of the sad reality.

In this 180-page report, the drug problem in Turkey emerges as a day by day growing health problem, causing medical, legal, social and security problems just like in other Western countries. Such reports have been published again and again for years. At the same time they are shared with The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction and with all relevant national agencies and organizations, but do not contribute to inhibiting the growth of the problem. Furthermore, this report affirms that the state's struggle against drugs consists only of police measures.

Yet it is specified in the report, that a total of 83 thousand drug-related operations were performed and that more than 130 thousand people were detained across Turkey. There was a 23.9% increase in the number of operations and a 23.8% increase in the number of detained persons compared to the previous year. In 2013, more than 13 tons of heroin and more than 152 tons of marijuana, 225 kilos of cocaine, about 184 thousand tablets Captagon, and 223 thousand ecstasy tablets were seized in police operations. However, despite all this, such police measures have clearly not prevented the growth of drug addiction amongst the youth. Furthermore, due to the high cost of such substances, 46% of our young people falling into the trap of addiction used cheap chemicals like "bally" and thinner, and today's last poison fashion "Bonzai". The common information given by addicts was that they could easily reach any of these intoxicants within 24 hours.

Another reflection of the state's failure in this issue is that inspite of the day by day decreasing age of drug users, only 4 of the 21 treatment centres with a total capacity of 544 beds accept paediatric patients. Whereas last year, the number of applicants to these centres was over 5 thousand. The number of applications for outpatient treatment was almost 156 thousand. Alongside the insufficient number of treatment centres, their placement at only certain areas constitutes additional impediments for the accessibility and continuation of treatments. Additionally, the required re-treatment of nearly 47% of the 2 thousand inpatients already affected by drug abuse highlights that such medical measures, although helping some to recover from their addiction, are not the means to solving this problem.

Together with this report, proposals have also been made to determine the starting point in the fight against drugs. For example, a strategy to address the educational levels of addicts was suggested as it was found that 2.6% of the drug users had no education at all, 2.4% were primary school graduates, 3.2% secondary school graduates, 2.6% high school graduates and 3.1% university graduates. However, these figures show that the level of drug use rises together with the level of education. All this is further proof that the escalating drug problem in Turkey and all over the world arises directly from the values promoted to people by the system that is implemented within a state.

In short, the ever increasing level of a malady like drugs in a Muslim society does not only reflect the failure of the system implemented by the state to deal with the issue, rather the system is also the trigger for the problem. The Western capitalist system instils values that promote that the purpose of life is nothing more than the pursuit of happiness, having a good time and enjoying the maximum of pleasures. This is especially propagated through its media and television, its entertainment and night-life culture. Such materialistic values have created an anesthetized society that is unwilling to face the reality or unwilling to face sorrows or the challenges of life, only chasing for happiness it cannot even define, failing to understand the aim of life. And thus the very same capitalist system implemented in Turkey and across our Muslim lands which governments over generations have embraced in imitation of the West, have caused the youth of the Ummah to suffer the very same problems of youth in the West.

In secular and capitalist systems, the production and sale of other addictive substances such as alcohol is permitted and encouraged under liberal freedoms. As this product creates one of the largest tax resource of capitalist states, it is not a prohibited substance, regardless of the indisputable damage it causes to individuals and societies overall. Furthermore, Turkey's greatest basketball team has the name of and is owned by Turkey's largest alcohol producer. Tabloid newspapers and television programs glamourize the night-life, drunkenness and debauched behaviour of the most famous people in an entertaining and admirable way. Infact in August 2013, Istanbul's narcotic branch office detained 48 people of whom 26 were actors and singers during operations for drug use and dealing. However, instead of condemning and removing them from the eyes of the society for their deeds, they were presented as victims and still continue to be praised on television, in series, movies and concerts.

In many liberal capitalist societies, the use of all kinds of drugs is being left to the preferences of individuals. Those who suffer health problems due to the consumption of such intoxicants are considered as those "who do not know how to use them" or as "ill", and are only provided with medical treatment opportunities. Furthermore, many Western countries even produce programs to ensure the safe use of drugs for the sake of generating revenue, rather than banning them and other addictive products. For example, cannabis in the Netherlands is sold freely in 'Coffee Shops' under the supervision of the state. This January, the US state of Colorado licensed the selling of marijuana in shops for recreational purposes. Registered heroin users are often provided safe syringes and environments to pursue their addiction. The focus of such capitalist states is 'Harm Reduction Programs' through controlling the quality and distribution of drugs, rather than full prevention of drug-taking. This has neither reduced the use of drugs nor the occurrence of crimes due to drug usage. According to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), more than 15 million Europeans have been determined as drug users in Europe. 11 states in the USA have decriminalized cannabis and introduced civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration. In spite of this there has been a 45% increase in heroine-overdose deaths affecting all classes and backgrounds of families within the US society from 2006 to 2010 and the amount of heroine seized each year on the Mexican border has risen nearly four times from 2008 to 2012 (according to Joseph Moses, Spokesman for US Drug Enforcement Administration). At the moment in Turkey, Universities and NGOs are calling for the implementation of the so called ‘solutions' and model of the Netherlands and the USA in dealing with drugs.

However, with regards to Islam's view on this problem of drug-abuse, Allah (swt) sent His Messenger Muhammed (saw) with values and laws that protect mankind from such destructive behaviour and lifestyles. He (swt) says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالأَنصَابُ وَالأَزْلاَمُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ * إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَالْبَغْضَاء فِي الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ اللّهِ وَعَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ

"O you who believe! Intoxicants, and gambling, and Al-Ansab, and Al-Azlam are an abomination of Shaitan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of intoxicants and gambling, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat. So will you not then abstain?" [Al-Maidah: 90-91]

Rasulillah (saw) says: «كل مسكر خمر، وكل مسكر حرام» "Every intoxicant is khamr (wine) and every intoxicant is haraam (unlawful)." When alcohol became prohibited in Madina al-Munawwara, it was narrated by the Sahaba that, "the streets almost became impassable from the wine that was spilled (i.e. thrown out)". This was the consequence of the shaping of the thoughts and inclination of the Muslims upon the Islamic beliefs and laws alone, such that they based their actions completely and immediately upon the Commands of their Creator, even though many would drink heavily before the revelation of this Order from Allah (swt). Thus, one of the main tasks of an Islamic system is to mould the thinking and inclinations of the youth upon Islam alone, and therefore to bring up personalities, just like the Companions and the Muslims of the past, who showed utmost attention and accuracy in abstaining from all kinds of evil!

Additionally Allah (swt) announced the goal of life to be based upon worshipping Him and seeking His Pleasure, warning that every soul will be held responsible for his or her deeds:

((الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا))

"Who created death and life that He might try you which of you is best in deeds." [al-Mulk: 2]

Therefore, under the Islamic system of the Khilafah "Caliphate", any kind of haram for the sake of profit or advantage, such as the selling of alcohol or drugs, be it for the state or the individuals, is impermissible. Something which is declared to be prohibited may not be shown to have a good advantage, nor is it left to the preferences of individuals, nor is its production or transportation or sale or use permitted. At the same time, anything which Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) have declared to be good and lawful will be taught as good and lawful through the means of schools and media and any educational tools; while anything haraam will be taught as haraam and detestable.

Alongside this, the Islamic concept of happiness is different from the concept of happiness in capitalism. While capitalism defines happiness through the satisfaction of organic needs and instincts to the maximum extent; Islam has organised those in a way that ensures the satisfaction of them all by a precise system which offers man delight and comfort while also protecting the individual, the community, and society from the harms that can result from allowing the free pursuit and satisfaction of these instincts and needs. Happiness in Islam is not defined as the fulfilment of personal desires but rather as attaining the Pleasure of Allah (swt) which is the ultimate bliss that will also secure unimaginable joys and pleasures in Jannah. Thus it becomes once again obvious that under the Islamic system, it is the state's duty to raise Islamic personalities who see themselves as servants to nobody else than Allah (swt) and to protect those personalities from anything that is declared as rotten by Allah (swt), including any form of intoxicant!

In addition, Islam's view of society is completely different from the individualistic view of capitalism. According to Islam, society is an indivisible whole, and it views the individual as an inseparable part of the community. This means the individual is viewed like a organ of the body. Thus, protecting the individual is the means to protecting the community, and protecting the community is the means to protecting the individual. Consequently, individuals are not allowed to simply pursue any lifestyle they desire regardless of the impact upon themselves or those around them. Indeed, Rasulillah (saw) said:

«مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى حُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَالْوَاقِعِ فِيهَا ، كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا عَلَى سَفِينَةٍ فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا وَبَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا ، فَكَانَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا إِذَا اسْتَقَوْا مِنَ الْمَاءِ مَرُّوا عَلَى مَنْ فَوْقَهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : لَوْ أَنَّا خَرَقْنَا فِي نَصِيبِنَا خَرْقًا وَلَمْ نُؤْذِ مَنْ فَوْقَنَا ، فَإِنْ يَتْرُكُوهُمْ وَمَا أَرَادُوا هَلَكُوا جَمِيعًا ، وَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ نَجَوْا وَنَجَوْا جَمِيعًا»

"The example of those who maintain Allah's limits (hudood) and those who surpass them is like the example of those who share a boat. Some would occupy its upper deck and some its lower deck. The occupants of the lower deck would have to go to the upper deck to have access to the water. If they said, why don't we drill a hole in our part (to directly access the water) and do not cause any inconvenience to those above us. If those on the upper deck let them do what they wanted then all of the passengers would sink. However, if they prevented them from doing so then all would be saved." ]Bukhari, K. Sharikat, 2313[

It is the full implementation of the Qur'an and Sunnah within the Khilafah "Caliphate" state that will protect our children from all forms of vice and harmful behaviour and influences. It is yet another vital reason why the Islamic obligation to establish this state upon our lands is one that should be viewed as an urgent matter - one that as Muslims we should rush to fulfil.

((أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللّهِ حُكْمًا لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ))

"Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allah in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith]." [Al-Maida: 50]

A delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah of Sudan delivered a leaflet from Hizb ut Tahrir in Russia to the Russian Embassy. The delegation was headed by the Official Spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir/Wilayah Sudan, Ibrahim Othman (Abu Khalil), who was accompanied by Brother Mohi ud-Din Bukhari, member of the Wilayah Committee in Wilayah of Sudan, and Brother Issam Ahmad Ateem, member of the Media Office.

The President of the conspiring Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, confirmed in an interview with The New York Times published on 02/02/2014, that he has suggested to the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the deployment of U.S. led NATO forces in the territory of the future Palestinian state, and that NATO forces will remain for a long time and are to maneuver wherever they want and at all border crossings including Jerusalem (Al-Quds). Abbas confirmed that his imaginary state will be without an army and demilitarized and will have only a police force. Hence, the international force will take up the task of preventing the smuggling of arms and fighting the terrorist acts that scares "Israel."

In his interview with the Jewish newspaper, Yediot Ahronot, on 01/27/2014, Abbas mentioned this proposal and added: "All the Security Agencies are carrying out the same task; which is to prevent anyone from smuggling weapons or who wants to use these weapons, whether in the Palestinian territories or in "Israel", this is the main preoccupation of the Security Services, and this - no secret that I hide - with the full cooperation between us and the Israeli Security Services and the American Security Services".

These statements if uttered by the President of any country in the world, he would have been overthrown for committing high treason, but how impossible is this to happen in these quasi-states that subject its institutions and agencies to suppress the people and to protect the corrupt and service the colonists.

Abbas, his Authority and his Organization have consistently conspired against Palestine and its people. They committed their crime in Oslo and gave legitimacy to the Jewish entity on the blessed land, and wore a garment of shame and disgrace by the security coordination to maintain the security of the Jews. Today, the Palestinian Authority's pursuit to give legitimacy to the international occupation, to perch on the chest of Muslims in Jerusalem and its surroundings, is a great crime and what a crime!

Britain has sought to send international troops to Palestine and to Jerusalem in particular, to achieve the crusade ambitions but it failed to do so. Then America grabbed this project and practically adopted it after the war in 1967 and sought to implement it repeatedly through their agents but failed to implement it until now.

Everyone, the distant and the near, realizes that Mahmoud Abbas is unable to propose to the United States in this regard; this is distinctively an American project; therefore, Abbas and his Organization and Authority are only a tool in its implementation.

America and the West warned leaders of the occupation that their entity is in danger and that they are at the fore-front of a historic opportunity to preserve their state if they accepted the American vision of peace.

America and other Western countries realize that the Ummah is poised to restore its authority and remove the rulers of devilry, the agent who protect the borders of the occupation. They warned of the Khilafah "Caliphate", which will uproot their influence in the Muslims countries and mobilize its armies to liberate the whole of Palestine and destroy the occupying entity. This is why they are seeking to sign a comprehensive peace agreement that protects the security of the Jews and deploys the American and Western international forces in Jerusalem and the Jordanian border, and most of the border areas to prevent the armies of the Khilafah "Caliphate" from advancing to liberate the blessed land.

Dear people in Palestine - the Blessed Land:

You have suffered from the Palestinian Authority which works under Jewish occupation, then what will your expectations be if it turned into an agency operating under the international occupation, with its mission is to fight "terrorist acts", as called by Abbas?!
Your sons, who are determined to liberate Palestine from the Jews, will not only be chased by the occupation patrols or the Palestinian Security Services, but will also be pursued by the NATO forces.

Your sons will not only be in Jewish detentions or the Palestinian Authority prisons, but they will be placed in prisons like Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq and Bagram Prison in Afghanistan, and American secret prisons.

And in addition to the Jewish occupation, there will be an international occupation led by America- the enemy of Islam and Muslims. This reminds us of the Crusades led by the kings of Europe and its czars to Palestine.

Abbas and his backers do not want to maintain the occupation of the Jewish state only, but to also try prevent the future liberation of Jerusalem, and to render the price of its liberation steep; not by a confrontation with the decaying Jewish army but through the involvement of the armies of all the countries of the world.

Dear people in the blessed land:

You know that the liberation of the blessed land needs pure, devout, good men like the companions of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and like Salahuddin, may Allah be pleased with them all. You know the words of Allah (swt):

((لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا..))

"You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah."  [Al-Ma'ida: 82]

And you also know the words of Allah (swt):

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ))

"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people." [Al-Ma'ida: 51]

You know as well, that the Palestinian Authority and its figures have taken the Disbelievers as their allies rather than the believers, and Allah (swt) says:

((بَشِّرِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا *الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِنْدَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا))

"Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment- * Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed, honor belongs to Allah entirely."  [An-Nisa:138-139]

O People of Palestine ... O Good people in the blessed land:

We call upon you, alerting and warning you of the terror of this catastrophic crime to Palestine and its people. Fear Allah in the blessed land and do not enable the traitors to Allah's Deen to sell the land. And we remind you of the words of Allah (swt):

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَخُونُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ))

"O you who have believed, do not betray Allah and the Messenger or betray your trusts while you know [the consequence]."  [Anfal: 27]

We call upon the notables, the influential and the sincere in the political powers, movements, organizations and institutions, to stand in the face of the American projects and stop the hands of the abusers in the blessed land, and expose them.

And we say to the Muslims, the blessed land is your land and the land of Israa' of your Prophet (saw). The people of Palestine look to you foreseeing the Salahuddin in you, and the Minarets of Al-Aqsa Mosque make Takbeers five times a day calling you. So, will you answer the call? Will you respond?

Our address is to the armies in the Muslim world in general and the Egyptian army in particular, who hosts the best soldiers on earth, and to the armies of Jordan, Pakistan and Turkey. We tell them, that the liberation of the blessed land from the filth of Jews is in your capacity and is a great honor and stature for you in this world and the Hereafter. So answer the call of Allah (swt):

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُمْ بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ * إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَيَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَيْئًا وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

"O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little. If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah is over all things competent."  [At-Tawba: 38 -39]

O Muslims: Answer the call of Hizb ut Tahrir and establish the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" on the method of Prophethood that will mobilize the liberation Army to the squares of Al-Aqsa Mosque, shouting Takbeer and Tahleel, and returning the righteous biography of Omar ibn al-Khattab and Salahuddin and the noble leaders.

((وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَاءُوهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ))

"And We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support of the believers." [Ar-Rum: 47]
