"All Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah (saw) and his family and companions and those who follow him."
We begin our address to you, General Raheel, with that which is Khair, as a reminder both for us and for you. Allah (swt) says,
A wave of bitter cold, accompanied by snow, heavy rains and storms is plaguing the country. Therefore the Ministry of Education decided to suspend schools and confine students to their homes. The Security Services, the Civil Defense and the Ministry of Works are mobilizing all forces and energy - at least as claimed by the authority - distributing warnings and guidelines to the people on how to deal with this wave. Most people sheltered in their homes for fear of frost, cold wind and flood risks. They secured for themselves all the various heating methods, and do not leave their homes and workplaces, unless absolutely necessary.
I want to ask you a question that deeply scares me: The one who repents from his sin but then falls back into it, is the old sin written again? It was reported about sincere repentance from His (swt) saying: (تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّـهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا) "repent to Allah with sincere repentance" [At-Tahrim: 8] If I repented from Kufr I fell into, will then all my reward be erased while every sin I have committed in my life remains?!
The Friday evening event held by Hizb ut Tahrir / Britain on 20 September 2013 was attended by over 400 men and women, who heard lively talks and debate on the political crisis in the Middle East with a focus on Syria and Egypt. At the outset of the event, the Chair, Jamal Harwood, who is a lecturer in Finance and Economics and a regular commentator on Islamic political affairs, posed some interesting questions for the speakers: on Syria, what's the current state of the uprising, how should we see the divisions between the US and Russia and what does the future hold for the devastated country? On Egypt, the question most commentators are asking is does the arrest of Mohammad Morsi point to the failure and end of political Islam?

Sheikh Abu Talha expounds on the meanings of Surah At Takweer which was revealed during the early stages of the dawah in Makkah. In his unique style and presentation he links the message of the Quran into our current scenario and the oppression and obstacles faced by the Islamic dawah carriers which are similar to those faced by the Prophet Mohammed (saw) and the Sahaba (ra). He also extracts the method to carry the dawah from the way of the Prophet Mohammed (saw) and his companions' actions in Makkah.
Abu Talha explains the social environment of Makkah and the greater Arabia during the time this surah was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (saw) and compares it with the current socio-political situation in the world, especially in the Muslim world.

On 10 December Russian mass media with reference to the website of MIA reported the news that there was a massive special operation in Dagestan held to stop the activity of the international organization of Hizb ut Tahrir. On suspicion of Hizb ut Tahrir's involvement, there were 47 searches, 52 people detained, 3 residents of Makhachkala arrested. All actions of Special Services were carried out under the previously initiated criminal cases of Part 1 Article 30, 278 and Part 1 Article 282 RF CC. i.e. "an attempt to seize power by overthrow of constitutional order" and "extremism".
The people and its intellectuals welcomed us with all the love and affection. It is the Riqqa... Riqqa ar-Rasheed full of tenderness ... The lecture was delivered by Hisham al-Baba, Head of the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir in the Wilayah of Syria entitled, "The Sham's Upcoming Regime between Democracy and Islam " took place in the College of Liberal Arts. It saw a great interaction with the audience.
Then there was a meeting with the prominent people of Riqqa and their revolutionaries in Firat Town Hall titled "Government of Lost Time: What do you do now?" And the activities culminated with the film presentation titled "Revolution of Ash-Sham: Victory from Allah and Success Soon". After the film, the floor was opened to effective and constructive dialogue with vigorous and passionate participation clearly and explicitly answered by the Head of the Media Office. Then came the comments and participation from guests which enriched the beautiful dialogue .
This tour was part of the work and activities of a wider project carried out by the Head and the members of the Media Office at home and abroad, raising the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in order to shatter the conspiracies of America and its lackeys of the Coalition and the government of shame and Geneva 2 where they want to slaughter the Revolution. May Allah destroy them.
Allah is with us and He does not allow our efforts to be spent in vain.
