  O Muslims of Syria! The Syrian Regime's Horrific Crimes are Because It Senses Its End is Near & Lacks Confidence in its Own Survival  

Just before the UN Security Council concluded this round of plots and deception against the Muslims in Syria, and at the thirtieth anniversary of the terrible tragedy of Hama in 1982, and after the heroic rebels infuriated the regime on the Friday commemorating the Hama massacre - the monstrous Assad regime escalated its crimes and oppression on the night of 3/2/2012. Homs - the sister of Hama, Aleppo and all the rebellious land of Syria - lost over 245 people, with the number of the wounded people exceeded 700. Bashar and his gang became maddened by the high quality operations of the Free Army in Homs, and the capture of a number of its gangs, especially in Babamr and Khalidiya. This defunct regime has proved that massacres are one of the ‘principles' of his miserable regime. Bashar has proved he is his father's son; where his father slaughtered the parents and the son slaughtered their sons. Bashar's slaughter, bombing and horrible destruction committed shows that the regime senses its end is near, especially after the increased divisions in the Syrian army, and after the hand of the revolution knocked at the doors of Damascus and Aleppo. Therefore, these massacres carry as much hope as they do pain. And, Allah willing, they will be the moments that precede the collapse of this regime, bringing an end to its force, security institutions, gangs and its international support.

By turning to the Security Council for resolving the crisis in Syria the issue has been taken out of the hands of the Muslims into the hands of their enemies, from the super powers, so making it subject to compromises, concessions and conspiracy, as well as imposing conditions that mean any change emerges with a Western rather than Islamic identity. It does not take the Security Council to eliminate the desperate Syrian regime; nor does it need an opposition that stands at its doorstep begging for its solutions, such as a civil democratic secular state. Rather, it requires a real turning towards Allah, the Mighty alone; as well as uniting to establish His Divine Law (Shar'). This requires that the revolution spread all over Syria, so that there is no land remaining for this imprudent regime to set foot on; and requires that the people of power support their religion and help their people. Perhaps it is these two matters that maddened the regime, rather than any fear of the Security Council. Otherwise, it would have not committed these massacres on the eve of the Security Council meeting discussing the events in Syria. This regime has there more than one supporter - and first and foremost is the United States, contrary to what it says in public.

O Muslims who will soon - Allah willing - be victorious in Syria:

Your persistence in the squares and your cheers that reached the sky - while you faced the killing machine, taking no notice of it - is a clear evidence that you have taken the vital decision of life or death towards overthrowing this regime. Hizb ut-Tahrir appeals to Allah, the Almighty that you take with Him, in broad daylight, the decision of life or death for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" State in the land of Ash-Sham, the heart land of Islam, so as to win the glory of this worldly life and the Hereafter.

Allah (swt) says:

(وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ)

Might belongs to Allah, to His Messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not. (63:8)

So consider your stances, your patience and your bravery, all for the sake of Allah alone, and do not associate any partners with Him; neither the Security Council, nor the Super Powers, nor a fake opposition. And account your martyrs with Allah, declaring it purely and totally: "It is for Allah....It is for Allah."

Dear sincere officers and soldiers, who stand for the truth, Allah willing, in Syria:

Be aware that you are accountable to Allah, the Almighty about the support of our defenseless people, and the families that are subject to slaughter. You might not have a day in which you can apologize or ask forgiveness. It is time that you rid yourselves of the complex of fear, which the feet of Muslims smashed in the squares. Be also aware that your strength, which stems from your belief in Allah, gives you a power that is many times more than the power of the Assad gangs, his intelligence and bullies. And know that the right move that is sincere to Allah, will smash the snake's head, and will resolve the matter quickly, where the mice will then hide in their burrows. So, be mindful of Allah in supporting of your religion; and be most worthy of it and deserve it well. Help Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish the lofty structure of the guided Khilafah "Caliphate", to return to the Ummah her authority, which will establish the Truth and destroy falsehood, spread justice and remove injustice, where Muslims and non-Muslims will be pleased, and then the believers will rejoice with Allah's Victory.

He (swt) says:

(يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا كُونُوا أَنْصَارَ اللَّهِ ..)

"O you who believe! Be helpers in Allah's Cause" (61:14)

At-Tabarani upon the authority of Mua'dh bin Jabal (ra) that the Prophet (saw) said, "Verily the Grinder of Islam will continue to grind, so go on with Islam wherever it goes (i.e. stick to the Qur'an). Verily the Book and the authority will be separated from each other; so do not separate yourselves from the Book. Verily, there will be princes over you, who will allow for themselves things which they will prevent for you. If you disobey them then they will kill you. If you obey them they will misguide you.' They (as-Sahabah) asked, ‘What do we do in such a situation?' He said: «Do as the companions of Jesus, the son of Mary, did; they were cut with the saws, and hanged on wood; indeed, to die in obedience to Allah is better than to live in disobedience to Allah.»

Syria: Our Test of Sabr

  • Published in Politics
  •   |  

To our horror, Bashar Al-Assad continues to ravage and massacre his people, a people who are under his dreadful custodianship. Such a paradox! That Bashar Al-Assad holds such a position rather than protecting and guarding his people from harm's way, while he is the clear and present danger to his population. He heavily bombards any threat in his path be it a recently widowed woman, premature infant, or elderly man. His ruthless acts have truly tested the Eman (faith) and courage of the Syrian people. Men and women alike favor death over surrender in light of the savage unceasing violence. This death, inshallah, is considered an honorable death in the sight of Allah (swt). Despite the heavy shelling from the Syrian military destroying homes, schools, and hospitals, people still persevere and remain determined to have their voice heard.

Penetrating deep into the hearts of these tireless protesters, we find a unique trait captivating onlookers. What keeps them determined and focused, knowing that may not live to see the following sunrise? Their minds and hearts are filled with distinct feature non-Muslims may find it nearly impossible to comprehend, yet Muslims grasp it fully thereby inspiring others to continue their struggle for a victorious reform. This blessed feature is Sabr (patience) in the face of adversity.

Sabr often times confused as silently standing by witnessing the oppressions and wrongs of our society. Distancing ourselves from the vital issues and keeping ourselves busy with the spiritual aspects of Islam's rituals: tasbeeh, duaa, unconcerned with the Ummah's state of affairs. All the while, people including ourselves suffer from injustice and hardships. This type of silent suffering has greatly contributed to our Ummah's decline. Misconceptions and fear from government repercussions have played a major role in this.

Yet the true definition of Sabr is the opposite of silently accepting injustice or isolating oneself from the evils of society. Sabr is speaking the word of Haqq (Truth) in front of the oppressor. Sabr is resisting the tragedies that afflict our Ummah without fear of repercussion. Sabr is going about real change to achieve true revival in our precious Ummah. The Believers understand Allah's (swt) Laws so thoroughly that they are willing to suffer any consequence towards triumph, enduring torture-filled imprisonment, loss of wealth, and the ultimate sacrifice: loss of life.

Allah swt said,

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴿١٥٥﴾ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ﴿١٥٦﴾ أُولَـٰئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ

{And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.). Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return. They are those on whom are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones.} [TMQ Al-Baqarah: 155-157].

After reading the inspiring Ayaat of Allah (swt) in their prayers deep in the night, it instills great motivation that drives the Muslim to stand up for the Haqq (Truth) in the face of a brutal tyrant and his terrible regime. The deep understanding of Qadda and Qadr allows the true believer to act bravely and forcefully without any worry about this temporary life, for these blessed defenders of the Haqq long for the eternal life. A glorious life as promised to them by the Creator Himself. We take these Believers as our examples who exemplify the strength of their sabr and Imaan.

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "It is a punishment that Allah sends to whom He wills. Allah has made it a mercy for the believers. There is not a servant who finds himself amidst a plague but he stays in that land in patience hoping (for Allah's reward) and knowing that nothing can harm him except what Allah has written then this servant will be given a reward like that of a martyr." (Al-Bukhari) What an honor to die as a martyr to be placed within the same ranks as the great warrior Hamza (ra) on the Day of Judgement for all the creations to witness.

The Prophet (saw) said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that." Remain steadfast our dear brothers and sisters. Inshallah while enduring the great calamities brought down upon you that you shall enter the Heavens pure and untainted as the day you were born.

Syria, rest assure. Jannah (Paradise) is so close to you that your bloodshed will not be lost in vain. The Prophet (saw) expressed the goodness and blessing of the Ahl ash-Sham, "O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Shaam. O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Yemen." Carry that glad tidings with you to your grave. Inshallah our Ummah's calamity will soon be relieved and Islam's glorious light will fill our skies as promised by the Creator of the universe. Allah swt comforted His Believers with the following ayah:

{ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُور }

{Indeed, Allah defends those who have believed. Indeed, Allah does not like everyone treacherous and ungrateful.} (Al-Hajj: 38).

US: FBI labels bulk buying of food a potential terrorist activity

As part of its effort to encourage business owners to spy on their customers, the FBI has labeled the bulk purchase of food as a potential indication of terrorist activity, despite the fact that FEMA itself last year purchased $1 billion dollars worth of storable food. A flyer aimed at Military Surplus stores produced under the auspices of the FBI's Communities Against Terrorism project, encourages owners to report people who "make bulk purchases of items to include....meals ready to eat". According to the flyer, the FBI advises store owners to demand ID's from all new customers, as well as asking them questions about their purchase and being aware of "suspicious statements". On Monday Reuters reported that authorities are now treating those who "believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard" as extremists who are a potential violent threat to law enforcement.

Egypt: Salafi sees Egypt army taking time to cede power and speak positively about US NGOs

The head of Egypt's leading ultra-conservative Islamist party believes it will take time for the ruling military to hand power to civilians but says the army cannot enjoy a privileged status "above the constitution". In an interview with Reuters, Emad Abdel Ghaffour said the next president should enjoy broad support to steer Egypt through the turbulent transition it has witnessed since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled in a popular uprising last year. He also praised the work of a U.S.-based democracy group being investigated by the authorities, saying it had enriched political life. For a representative of a movement that has defined itself by opposition to all things Western, his remarks on the role of U.S.-backed NGOs under threat were remarkably positive. Abdel Ghaffour's Nour Party won more than a fifth of the seats in the newly-elected parliament, taking many by surprise and making it the biggest of the ultraconservative Salafi groups to have emerged in the year since Mubarak was swept from office. The military council which assumed power from Mubarak has pledged to hand power to an elected president by mid-year.


British Special Forces enter Syria to aid rebels

British Special Forces are on the ground in Syria directing rebel fighters in a repeat of how Libyan rebels were aided in the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi, according to a report by Israeli intelligence outfit DebkaFile. "British and Qatari special operations units are operating with rebel forces under cover in the Syrian city of Homs just 162 kilometers from Damascus, according to DEBKA file's exclusive military and intelligence sources," states the report, adding that the foreign units are not engaging in direct combat but are acting in an advisory capacity, while also relaying requests for arms outside of the country. The report suggests that the situation in Syria is developing in an almost identical manner to how rebels in Libya were aided by British and French Special Forces.

Gingrich: Iran nuke attack on U.S. "Real Danger"

This week Republican candidate Newt Gingrich said that an Iranian nuclear attack on the United States was "a real danger" and that it could kill and wound hundreds of thousands of Americans. "You think about an Iranian nuclear weapon. You think about the dangers, to Cleveland, or to Columbus, or to Cincinnati, or to New York," Gingrich said while in Cleveland, Ohio. "Remember what it felt like on 9/11 when 3,100 Americans were killed. Now imagine an attack where you add two zeros. And it's 300,000 dead. Maybe a half-million wounded. This is a real danger. This is not science fiction. That's why I think it's very important that we have the strongest possible national security." However the facts suggest otherwise. First and foremost, despite the IAEA stating that Iran considered possibly developing a nuclear weapon before 2003, there is no evidence the country is building a nuclear weapon, let alone producing nuclear weapon grade uranium. Last week, Obama's intelligence boss, James Clapper, admitted Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon, although he did tell the Senate Intelligence Committee he thinks Iran may launch terror attacks in the United States. Clapper was backed up by CIA Director David Petraeus, who also said Iran was not building nuclear weapons. In January, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta also said Iran is not building a nuke. "Are they trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No. But we know that they're trying to develop a nuclear capability, and that's what concerns us," Panetta told CBS News. Iran currently does not have a missile capable of reaching Columbus, Cincinnati, New York, or Cleveland, as Gingrich warned. Its longest range missile is the Sajjil-2, with a range of about 2,200 kilometers or 1,375 miles when carrying a 750-kg warhead.

Top US envoy met Taliban in Qatar

Washington's chief envoy to Afghanistan met Taliban leaders in Qatar as part of US efforts to bring the insurgents to the negotiating table, a senior Afghan official said on Wednesday. The talks between the Taliban and Marc Grossman came in late January, after he met Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, the official said, asking to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the issue. Grossman, President Barack Obama's chief envoy for war-torn Afghanistan and neighbouring Pakistan, later briefed Karzai about his talks with Taliban representatives during a visit by the Afghan leader to Italy. "I can confirm that Mr Grossman met with the Taliban representatives in Qatar. When the president (Karzai) was in Rome, he came over to his residence and briefed him about his meetings with the Taliban," the official said. The US, which heads a 130,000-strong force fighting a Taliban insurgency against Karzai's government, has made tentative moves towards talks with the hardline Islamists in Qatar, where they plan to open an office. Karzai, rejected by the Taliban as a "puppet", has said publicly that he supports the plan, but was widely reported to be concerned that he would be sidelined in the Taliban's talks with the US. Washington dispatched Grossman to Kabul last month to assure the Afghan president of a leading role once the talks get under way. The official told AFP that during his visit to Kabul Grossman met Karzai twice and "a number of agreements were made over a number of issues concerning Taliban talks". He refused to give details but said: "Our stance is unchanged: the president wants the talks to be Afghan-led and Afghan owned."

China boosts police numbers to suppress the Islamic revival in Xinjiang

China will boost police forces in its western Xinjiang region, state media said on Monday, in an effort to tackle unsanctioned religious activities in the region, which has been beset by ethnic strife and sometimes violent unrest. Authorities will recruit 8,000 new police officers. "Security patrols, management of the migrant population and cracking down on illegal religious activities" will be among their main duties, Xinhua said, citing an unnamed Communist Party spokesman in Xinjiang. Xinjiang is home to the Uighur ethnic group, a Turkic-speaking Muslim people who account for just over 40 percent of the region's more than 21 million population. The government blamed the incidents in Kashgar and Hotan - both in the majority Uighur southern part of Xinjiang - on religious hardliners and separatists who want to establish an independent state called East Turkestan for their people.

Over the past decade, China has intensified its efforts to break the zeal and the moral of the Muslims of Xinjiang. The government has poured money and men to thwart the Islamic revival but it has been in vain. Allah says:" Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be overcomed"[TMQ 8:36].

  O people of Egypt! Is it necessary to experiment for more decades with a secular democratic state with an elected people's assembly, which possesses no power or influence, until you realize that the only way out for you is the rightly guided Khilafa

The results of the legislative elections for the 'People's Assembly' have revealed a landslide victory for the Islamic groups represented in the 'Freedom and Justice' party (The Muslim Brotherhood) and the 'Noor' party (Salafi) and if this indicates anything it indicates the extent to which the people of Egypt are directed towards Islam which they see as the solution and way out from the oppressive and repressive rule that they lived under. They did this believing that the 'People's Assembly' and those who won seats in it would return the rule to what Allah (swt) had revealed, and bring to them a noble way of living, liberate Masjid Al-Aqsaa, unify the Muslim lands and put an end to the decades they suffered under oppression...and it was with this thinking that they elected them.

However, those who gave their votes to these Islamic groups have been surprised by the statements that have come from those who have won seats giving assurances and peace of mind to the west who are known to show no regard to the Muslims in terms of ties and covenant. Making statements expressing that the coming ruling regime with an Islamic majority will respect the 'Camp David' agreement with the Zionists, and they will not implement the Sharee'ah and this is despite the millions of the people who came out on the streets demanding the implementation of the Sharee'ah!!! And Allah (swt) says:

وَلَنْ تَرضَى عَنْكَ اليهودُ ولا النَصارى حَتّى تَتّبِعَ مِلّتَهُم

"And the Jews and Christians will never be content with you until you follow their way of life" [Al-Baqara, 2:120]

and He (swt) said:

وَأنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ولا تَتّبِعْ أهواءَهُمْ

"And rule between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires" [Al-Maida, 5:49]

 

 

O Muslims!

Verily what is happening right now in the political arena in Egypt is none other than a detour away from the revolution, and the theatre of the elections is none other than a struggle and competition for seats in an assembly that possesses no real authority. Indeed it is intended to subject the Sharee'ah of Allah to the system of voting in compliance with the wishes of America and the 'Military Council' which holds real power in its hands, commanding the police forces and army will not turn a blind eye if the parliament deviates from the path and road map that America has drawn out and which in reality is the extension of the defunct former regime. Silence over this theatre means none other than extending the life of corruption and a disruption to the implementation of the Sharee'ah of Allah using as an argument the idea of 'Tadarruj' (gradualism) on which Allah has revealed nothing to give it credence or strength.

O Muslims, O people of Egypt!

The implementation of the Sharee'ah can only occur if the sovereignty is for the Shar'a (Islamic legislation) and the Sultan (authority) belongs to the Ummah. So it is obligatory to implement the rules of Islam completely as a single whole without there being a referendum upon it or gradualism involved in it. Allah (swt) says:

اليومَ أكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دينَكُمْ وَأتْمَمْتُ عَلَيكُمْ نِعْمَتي وَرَضيتُ لكُمُ الإسلامَ دينا

"Today I have completed your Deen for you and perfected upon you my blessings and I have chosen for you Islam as your Deen" [Al-Maida, 5:3]

Similarly Abu Bakr (ra) immediately fought against those who apostatized and withheld the payment of the Zakaah and he did not implement a gradual approach in regards to this and like him none of the Khulafaa after him implemented the Shar'a according to Tadarruj (gradualism).

As for the Sultan (authority) then it is obligatory that it belongs to the Ummah and they are the ones who elect their Khalifah and follow him up upon the implementation of the Shar'a laws and account him and remove him if it becomes necessary to do so. And the power of the army is meant to be a safeguard for this and there will be no fear upon them or from them if the power is in their hand and their loyalty is to Allah. Indeed they are the protectors of the land and its servants and they are the protector to the one who rules by what Allah (swt) has revealed and the one who takes care of the affairs of the people in all areas of life in accordance to the truth and justice in addition to being the protector of the constitution and laws.

However if their loyalty is to America and the enemies of Allah then they will not be safeguarding the servants and the land, and they will never be looking after the interests of the people nor will they provide for them protection and security but rather continue in their oppression, humiliation and in causing the impoverishment of the people, turning against those who don't follow their way.

The Sultan (authority) in Egypt today does not belong to the Ummah and as such it is necessary to pressure the army in whose hand belongs the power to comply willingly with the good from the Ummah so that the army can give victory to the Ummah and place the authority in its hands so that they can choose a just Khalifah who will protect the servants and the land and provide justice, security and a noble livelihood to the Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

O brave officers and soldiers in Egyptian army!

Are you pleased that Egyptian women are dragged on the streets in front of your eyes whilst you are watching? Do you accept that the blood of your brothers and sisters is spilt to please America whilst you are witness to that? Is there not from amongst you the likes of the great Mu'tasim so that you will go forth to aid your sisters and give victory to the Deen of Allah whilst you are capable of doing this? Has not the time come for you to realize that you should free yourselves from the grip of America and the West and establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" of your Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and that this is the path to giving you honour and for you to arise? Is there not from you a rightly guided man?

O people in Egypt, O soldiers and officers in the brave army of Egypt!

Don't give in to what is being plotted against you in the attempts to change the direction of your revolution. Don't fall in to the trap of experimenting for decades to come under the same oppressive rule. Rather you should direct your sons from amongst the soldiers and officers in the Egyptian army to give victory and assist those who are working to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" and to demand from them to not proceed in accordance to the plans of America and those who are aligned to them. Rather they should turn away from them and their agents completely so as to establish the righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate", the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will solve all of your problems via the implementation of the Shar'a of your Lord.

Hizb-ut-Tahrir invites you to work with it to achieve this goal which Allah (swt) has made obligatory and which is the only way to regain your honor and the only way out for you.

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

"O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life, and know that Allah comes in between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily to Him you shall (all) be gathered."

[Al-Anfal, 8:24]
