President Barack Obama would be coming to Malaysia after all. The enemy of Allah, of His Messenger and of the Muslims will reportedly be arriving in Kuala Lumpur and will be meeting with Najib, the Prime Minister of Malaysia on the 26th of April. He is also scheduled to visit the National Masjid and will be giving a speech at the University of Malaya. Joshua Kurlantzick, a fellow at the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations explains that in his visit to Malaysia, Obama will "highlight the growing strategic and economic relationship" with Malaysia and its "credentials as a moderate Muslim - majority state and emerging democracy". It was also confirmed that the president of the imperialist state would sign a memorandum of understanding with Malaysia on several aspects of economic, education and military relations.

The United States is an imperialist country which is currently in the state of war with Muslims. US has declared war against Islam and Muslims via its ‘war on terror' and is continually killing Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan besides giving support to regimes in Syria and Palestine in perpetrating numerous bloodshed and carnage towards Muslims. Obama is the head of this state and it is thus forbidden to accept him as a visitor to any Muslim state. It is forbidden to sign any agreement with the US and it is forbidden to forge any ties with her. The only relationship that should ever exist between a Muslim country and the US is a relationship of war and the only agreement that is allowed is a ceasefire agreement.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of Barack Obama who personifies the American imperialist policies is to consolidate her grip on Muslim nations where any agreements to be signed are obviously designed to benefit the US, first and foremost, and at the same time to strengthen her grip on Muslims in general and the leader of the Muslims in particular. This trip is loaded with US imperialist traps. We must take heed!

As Muslims, we are enraged and upset at the attitude of the Prime Minister in welcoming Obama and as Muslims we are also regretful for the receptions to be organized by the National Masjid and the University of Malaya for the visits by Obama on the morning of April 27th. We are especially regretful for the readiness of the National Masjid authority in receiving the enemy of Allah. A masjid is a sacred place in which the names of Allah are mentioned and must not be desecrated by the presence of the murderer of Muslims and the enemy of Allah.

It is unquestioningly naïve to believe that Obama's visit to Malaysia is an act of ‘friendship' or an act of ‘mutual understanding'. His visit to the National Masjid is not an act of ‘religious understanding' or and act to ‘forge a bridge between Islam and the West'. It is an act of perpetration. It is an act of slick propaganda. And Muslims should not be so gullible to believe that Obama is ‘sincere' in his intentions. We should realize that as he is extending his hands, which are laden with the blood of Muslims, to be received by unsuspecting Muslims, missiles are at the same time fired from drones killing hundreds if not thousands of innocent Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen. It is also those same hands that are responsible for the military support to Zionist and hideous regimes that continuously spill innocent Muslim blood.

O Muslims who willingly open their arms to this enemy of Allah! What glory and honour are you looking for in welcoming Obama, the person ultimately responsible for numerous wickedness on this earth? Do take heed. It is the glory and honour of Allah that you should seek. Not the worldly ‘glory and honour' from the enemies of Allah!! Allah Almighty says:

((الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعً))

"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': 139]

Press Release The Statement by Minister Lukuvi Cannot Halt the Return of Khilafah System

Following the statement by William Lukuvi (Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office for Policy, Coordination and Parliamentary Affairs) recently issued in the Methodist Church in Dodoma and confidently confirmed in the Constitutional Assembly that people of Zanzibar are fighting for a three tier form of government in the union i.e. the government of Tanganyika, the government of Zanzibar and the Union Government so as to proclaim Zanzibar as an Islamic state. We in Hizb state that the statement by the Minister reveals lies and deceit but also some truths.

On the issue of lies in the statement, it is the linking of CUF party as the one with the intention of turning Zanzibar into an Islamic state which is an open lie. CUF is a secular party, which adheres to and defends all principles of secularism. Is Minister Lukuvi unaware that CUF cooperates with his CCM party in the Government of National Unity in Zanzibar?

On the issue of deceit, it is his saying that Zanzibar wants to be turned into an Islamic state. There is no doubt that it is an obligation for Muslims to be ruled by Islam. However, an Islamic state is established at a place with specific qualifications and criterion based on Islam. Zanzibar lacks the qualifications and criterion according to Islamic jurisprudence. Therefore, it cannot be the establishing point of such a state even if the majority of residents are Muslims. The Prophet (saw) established the Islamic state after considering and keenly analyzing whether those offering help (nusrah) to establish the state had the strength to defend and protect his state internally and externally. The Prophet (saw) refused to consider establishing the state from all those who had no substantial power even though some tribes were ready to offer complete support. This concept of power in our times has widened in consideration of several aspects concerning the land which is earmarked as the starting point of the state. On this basis, the Islamic state cannot be established in any place but is established in major Islamic states that own material power starting from those offering ruling support to the characteristics of the concerned country. This implies that it is only a few Muslim countries that can attain such qualifications and criterion.

On the issue of truth in the Lukuvi statement, it is the exhibition of his enmity against Islam and its ruling system of Khilafah "Caliphate". This is a matter expected from politicians and governments of developing countries due to pressure from America and dirty propaganda against Islam, Muslims and all their systems. On the other side, it is an exhibition of entrenching the environment of hatred and enmity between Muslims and Christians. That is why Lukuvi issued the statement inside a church.

In conclusion, Lukuvi and all democratic politicians in developing countries who have been fed with hate and enmity propaganda against Islam need to understand that the Islamic ruling system of Khilafah "Caliphate" will return soon Inshaa Allah and none can prevent it.

((وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ))

"Indeed, they planned their plot, and their plot was with Allah, though their plot was not such as to remove mountains from their places." [Ibrahim: 46]
