O Muslims! This Ramadhan, fulfill your pledge to Allah سبحانه و تعالى Rise up against the American Raj and oppressor rulers, establish the Khilafah

O Muslims of Pakistan!

We, Hizb ut-Tahrir, address you this Ramadhan, as Muslims who have a glorious history of fulfilling your pledge to Allah سبحانه و تعالى, rising against oppression, no matter what the cost. You bled and toiled so as to rule this entire region by Islam. You were victorious over the forces kufr, ruling by Islam for hundreds of years such that the Indian Subcontinent became the envy of the entire world. You irrigated this soil with your blood, to fearlessly resist the kufr British Raj for over two hundred years. You forced the evacuation of the British troops such that they never dared to return again, so that Pakistan could be established in the name of Islam. Even whilst struggling against the British occupation here, you launched a strong movement to protect the Uthamni' Khilafah "Caliphate", once you learned about the plans of the Western kuffar to destroy it, after the First World War. During the partition of Muslim India, you laid down your lives in hundreds of thousands, not counting your martyrs, for the pleasure of Allah سبحانه و تعالى . To this day Islam runs in your veins, it is your cause and you live for its sake.

For years now, your enemies fear that you will rise again through Islam and its state the Khilafah "Caliphate" at any time. In an interview in March 2009, David Kilcullen, advisor to the US CENTCOM commander, said, "Pakistan has 173 million people, 100 nuclear weapons, an army bigger than the US Army...We're now reaching the point (of)...an extremist takeover -- that would dwarf everything we've seen in the war on terror today." In an article published in the New Yorker on 16 November 2009 stated, "The principal fear is mutiny-that extremists inside the Pakistani military might stage a coup...A senior Obama Administration official brought up Hizb ut-Tahrir...whose goal is to establish the Caliphate (Khilafah "Caliphate"). As for the Hindu state, a senior official from the Indian intelligence agency, RAW, said in the same article, "Our worries are about the nuclear weapons in Pakistan. Not because we are worried about the mullahs taking over the country; we're worried about those senior officers in the Pakistan Army who are Caliphates ... Some of the men we are watching have notions of leading an Islamic army."

O Muslims of Pakistan!

Despite your huge potential, which your enemies realize, with more land, more youth, more resources and armed forces larger than many of the world's major powers of today, you are tied down in humiliation and despair by oppressor rulers who rule by kufr and are subservient to your kafir enemies. This small coterie of traitors within the military and political leadership see fit to watch you starve through inability to buy food and suffer through absence of electricity, but will seek to move the heavens and the earth to make sure that the NATO supply lines are opened so that the crusaders are provided wine, pork, fuel and weapons. A supply line that is a life line for the American crusader troops that keep the doors of Afghanistan open to India, which has used its new found strategic depth to strike at you in Baluchistan, the tribal areas and beyond. These cheap agent rulers will persecute and prosecute officers in the armed forces who desire Islamic rule, but have opened all of Pakistan to American military, intelligence and private military organizations. To the extent that the kuffar enemy forces have bases in civilian residential areas like Gulberg in Lahore, as well as the highly sensitive military cantonments. Before your eyes these despicable traitors are busy building an American Raj with armies of Raymond Davis's that supervise attacks and bombings against the armed forces, these "false flag" attacks are blamed on Muslims from the tribal areas, in order to trap your armed forces in a wasteful war of Fitna, rather than rallying the Muslims in the tribal areas, Baluchistan and beyond as one powerful hand against the kuffar.

Be assured, O Muslims, whilst these oppressor rulers and their kufr system remain over your necks, you will only ever witness despair and destruction. Know that affliction awaits not only those who rule by kufr, but also to all who witness it and do nothing. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says,

[وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لاَ تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ]

"And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who oppress (but it will afflict everyone) and know that Allah is Severe in punishment." [Surah al-Anfaal: 25]. And Islam warned the Muslims that dua alone, no matter how intensely it is made, will not grant relief, unless this dua is combined with the Islamic duty of accounting the ruler, commanding what is right, forbidding what is wrong. RasulAllah صلى الله عليه و سلم said,

"وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَأْمُرُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَتَنْهَوُنَّ عَنْ الْمُنْكَرِ أَوْ لَيُوشِكَنَّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عِقَابًا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ تَدْعُونَهُ فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَكُمْ"

"(I vow) by the One in Whose hands my soul rests, you have to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, other wise Allah will be about to send upon you a punishment from Him, then you would pray to Him but He would not answer you". (Ahmed and Tirmidhi)

O Muslims of Pakistan!

This Ramadhan, it is time for you to move to end this oppressive rule and growing American Raj. Hizb ut-Tahrir, the party of the Ummah, brings you glad tidings that the struggle of the Ummah has already reached a peak. An uprising has been taking place in Syria for over a year now and now witnesses its second Ramadhan. Your brothers and sisters in Syria have braved the tanks and warplanes of the tyrant Bashar, whilst calling, الشعب يريد خلافة من جديد, "The people want the Khilafah "Caliphate" again." Their bravery has inspired the officers of the Syrian armed forces, who at the beginning of the uprising sided with the tyrant Bashar, to join with the people against the tyrants. Their bravery has inspired the Muslims throughout the Muslim world to speak of revolution and ending the oppressive rule once and for all. So in this great time of hope, rush in support of the Ummah's uprising for Islam with your broad shoulders, to achieve victory in this blessed month of Ramadhan, this month of victory against the kuffar.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is amongst you to lead you and calls you to work with it as tirelessly and fearlessly as its shebaab do. Realize that you will be tested even if you are silent before the oppressor, so do not fear any sacrifice in removing the oppressor. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says,

[أَوَلاَ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لاَ يَتُوبُونَ وَلاَ هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ]

"See they not that they are put in trial once or twice every year? Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson (from it)." [Surah at-Taubah 9:126]. Fear no harm from the oppressor, whether it is persecution, arrest, torture or martyrdom, for you believe Allah سبحانه وتعالى when He says,قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلاَنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ "Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allâh has ordained for us. He is our Maulâ (Lord, Helper and Protector). And in Allâh let the believers put their trust." [Surah at Taubah 9:51]. And know that bravery will neither lessen your lifespan nor your Rizq, just as cowardice will not prolong either. RasulAllah صلى الله عليه و سلم said,

[أَلَا لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ رَهْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِحَقٍّ إِذَا رَآهُ أَوْ شَهِدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقَرِّبُ مِنْ أَجَلٍ وَلَا يُبَاعِدُ مِنْ رِزْقٍ]

"Do not fear the people from speaking the Truth, when it is witnessed or seen, for it will neither shorten the life span nor cause loss in Rizq." [Ahmad]

O Muslims of Pakistan!

The end of the oppressor rulers is within sight and the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida, a Khilafah "Caliphate" on the Methodology of the Prophethood, lies beyond it. RasulAllah صلى الله عليه و سلم said,

"ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا جَبْرِيَّةً فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ"

"Then there will be an oppressive rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then Allah will end it when He wishes. Then there will be a Khilafah "Caliphate" according to the method of Prophethood." Then he (RasulAllah) سلم و عليه الله صلى fell silent. So honor yourselves by Islam, rise with Hizb ut-Tahrir against the oppressor rulers, traitors within the military and political leadership, agents to an American Raj, to establish the second Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida. Join your nights with your days, fearing none but Allah سبحانه و تعالى. Let the streets, masajid and public places resound with the call, "The people's demand is Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida." Let the Muslims yield with honor the black banners and white flags of the coming Khilafah "Caliphate" state, inscribed with the Kalima, لا إله إلا الله، محمدٌ رسول الله. And spare not one of your relatives, friends or colleagues in the armed forces from the invitation to grant Hizb ut-Tahrir the Nussrah, the Material Support, to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state. Let your example, as fearless civilians, be an inspiration to your brethren, the officers of the armed forces, the fighting men, the Ansar of today, to rise and seize hold of the tyrants and rescue this Ummah from the oppression of kufr rule once and for all.
