On the 104th anniversary of the destruction of the Khilafah (Caliphate), the calamities and disasters that befall Muslims continue one after the other, the difficult labor pains intensify, and the deep wound in the heart of our Ummah bleeds more and more. It becomes clearer every day that Muslims have lost the source of their pride, dignity, and strength with the absence of the Islamic Khilafah State. Those who are working hard politically and intellectually, following the example of the Noble Messenger (saw), to resume Islamic life by establishing the Second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the path of Prophethood, who have pledged to Allah, to His Messenger (saw), and to their Ummah that they will never tire, grow weary, despair, or betray the path of Prophethood until Allah (swt) makes them victorious and grants them victory, or they perish in the cause of Allah (swt), the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir around the world commemorated this painful anniversary through exceptional activities, including protests, distinguished communications, video messages, conferences, statements, and more.
On this painful anniversary, the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir launched a global campaign to provide comprehensive coverage of these events. The campaign was inaugurated by Engineer Salah Eddine Adada, Director of the Central Media Office, in a speech in which he addressed this generation of the Ummah, stressing the need to work hard to restore our Khilafah and rebuild its abode. He emphasized that Hizb ut Tahrir commemorates this anniversary to mobilize the Islamic Ummah to work with its Shabab (members) to erase this tragedy and establish the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. Accordingly, the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir begins the 104th anniversary of this tragedy with a global media campaign entitled: “Khilafah Rashidah on the Method of the Prophethood, Saving the World and Humanity.”
The Women’s Section of the Central Media Office participated with a speech in which it said: All words will be of no avail, in showing the misery, backwardness, fragmentation and blind subservience to the kafir colonialist, after the absence of our Khilafah! It called on Muslims to return to their Deen, and that no one will wipe away the tears of orphans, cover the shame of Muslims from filth, liberate the usurper from our land, unify our country and raise our Rayah banner except the Khaleefah (Caliph) of Muslims.
It addressed the armies and called on them to cry out that the Ummah is crying out with its mouth full: Where are you? When will you break those subservient chains? Why don’t you support them out of righteousness towards them? And loyalty to your Deen? And to please your Lord?
The Central Media Office, via Al-Waqiyah TV, organized an international media conference titled “Constants on the Path to the Khilafah (Caliphate).” Dawah carriers for the establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) participated in the conference, which was presented by Sheikh Adnan Meziane.
The first speech by Engineer Baher Saleh was titled, “Until You Follow Their Deen.” His most salient point was that the West will not accept or be satisfied with anything less than apostasy, and denial of Islam. It may calm down a little when it sees concessions and flexibility, but this will be the calm of deceit and deception, as it will continue its work secretly and openly to achieve its goal. Its goal in Muslim countries can be summarized in two matters: the first is to guarantee that Islam will not return. The second is to ensure that it continues to colonialize our countries and plunder of our wealth.
The second speech was given by Rana Mustafa and was titled “Minorities and Women’s Rights.” Among the most prominent points she made were, “The West has realized the great status of women and the important role they play in building the family and society, so it has aimed its arrows at them, and has sought to drag Muslim women into the mire of a civilization of unveiling, a culture of freedoms and liberation from Islamic rulings, nudity, and the display of charms and adornments. It has enacted secular laws under the pretext of protecting women's rights and empowering them.”
In the third speech of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Sufi, entitled, “The Worldliness in Deen, and the Approach of Gradualism,” he said, “Brothers, do you know what we are talking about? We are talking about the Method of the Prophethood, according to which there will be no state that pleases Allah (swt) after the oppressive rule we are in, unless this state is on the Method of the Prophethood, as the as-Sadiq, (the Truthful) (saw), the Trusted One, gave glad tidings. The method of Prophethood does not involve participation in the constitutions of kufr. The method of the Prophethood does not involve resorting to tyrants. The method of the Prophethood does not include flattery, gradualism, weakness, or compromising principles. Instead, it is a complete ruling by Islam on the ruins of a vanished kufr rule.”
In the fourth speech by Professor Mohammed Al-Malkawi, entitled, “The Khilafah (Caliphate) alone is the radical solution and the realizer of potential.” Al-Malkawi said, “We will never stop emphasizing to the sons and daughters, the youth, of this Ummah that they must join hands with us and walk on the path we have charted with insight, through serious work and continuous struggle to rebuild the strength of Islam, represented by a Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood, so that ruling may be restored to as ruling by all that Allah (swt) has revealed, for He (swt) is the Master of all Rulings. This is so that authority may belong to the Ummah, which pledges a Bayah to a just Khaleefah to rule according to Islam, and not be deceived by the gradual progression from secularism to Islam, or from democracy to Islam, or from Baathism to Islam. The path of true Islam, which is the clear light, cannot emerge from the darkness of capitalism, secularism, democracy, nationalism, or any of these forms of darkness.”
The closing speech was given by the Director of the Central Media Office, Engineer Salah Eddine Adada, titled: “On the Verge of Establishing the Second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood.” It said, “What a past year, during which ash-Sham was engulfed by two floods, the Al-Aqsa Flood and the liberation of Syria from the Assad regime. They were like wild horses that refused to stop at borders. The Islamic Ummah took their reins and steered them, by the Will of Allah (swt), to farther than their initiators had imagined. Balances were tipped and concepts were changed. We entered a new phase of the political scene after a period of anticipation. With every movement, the Ummah launches itself to pounce on its executioner and usurper of its rights. The Ummah is desperately trying to regain its authority and avenge its wounds. Therefore, every sincere, independent movement undertaken by the Islamic Ummah upsets the political balance, forces the West to redraw its plans, and engraves in the thought of the Islamic Ummah a new line of political awareness and devotion to Allah (swt).”
On this occasion, the Central Media Office published posts that consolidated morale, appealed to the people of strength and power, and called upon them to have the chivalry of Al-Mu’tasim, reminding them that they must be the shield of this Ummah. The posts said, “You must prepare to ward off domestic and foreign dangers from Muslims and their country. You must develop the necessary domestic and external plans to address the dangers and prepare for war if necessary. You must understand the domestic and external situation of the country to address all the dangers facing the country and its people." The posts also addressed the noble Ummah, saying, “Hizb ut Tahrir is the sincere, aware leader capable of leading the Ummah and the state, and resolving all the problems that have arisen due to the rotten capitalist system, and due to the colonialist powers and their instruments, the traitors and agents. You must immediately give leadership to the Hizb so that it may lead you towards glory and honor by establishing the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) and unifying the country and its people.”
In Indonesia: Hizb ut Tahrir / Indonesia organized a massive rally in the capital, Jakarta, titled: “With the Khilafah and Jihad, Palestine will be Liberated.” More than thirty thousand Muslim men and women participated in the rally, calling for the mobilization of Muslim armies to support the oppressed Muslims in the Blessed Land of Palestine, and to liberate the blessed Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa and all of occupied Palestine, from the river to the sea, from the filth of the murderous, criminal Jews. They also emphasized that the establishment of the Second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate), based on the Method of Prophethood, is the only way to liberate all Islamic countries from the influence of the colonialist kuffar in all their forms.
In Turkey: Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey organized its annual Khilafah Conference with widespread participation, at the Nene Hatun Cultural Center, in the Esenyurt district of Istanbul, under the title, “Building the Future with the Khilafah, from Istanbul to the Quds!" The conference was moderated and opened by Hizb ut Tahrir Media Office member Mr. Muhammad Amin Yildirim, and was attended by a number of prominent figures, including the Chairman of the Palestine Solidarity Association, Muhammad Mişinish; the author and theologian Dr. Ahmad al-Tayyib; and the Chairman of the Palestine Solidarity Association, Muhammad Yusuf Gül. Dr. Abdurrahim Shen and religious alim Abdullah İmamoğlu also participated as speakers.
In Bangladesh, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh organized a massive rally on Friday, March 7, 2025, to demand the establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. Thousands of lovers of Islam from various segments of society participated in it spontaneously, ignoring the threats of the agents of America and India. In that rally, the lovers of Islam called on their sons in the army to grant Nussrah to the sincere leadership of Hizb ut Tahrir, to establish the Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood.
In the Blessed Land of Palestine, the Women's Section of Hizb ut Tahrir presented a series of speeches under various titles. In addition, several speeches and darses were held in masajid across the region. Friday Khutbas were also delivered on the painful anniversary.
The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Jordan issued a press release entitled: “The Anniversary of the Destruction of the Khilafah (Caliphate) is Not for Mourning, But a Call for Serious Work to Restore It.”
In Kenya, Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya launched a public campaign in Rajab 1446 AH. Launched at the beginning of the month, the campaign included extensive activities, including public lectures, seminars, and protests. This was intended to remind the Ummah of the unfortunate situation it has faced since the abolition of the Khilafah on 28 Rajab 1342 AH, 3 March, 1924 CE).
In Wilayah Lebanon, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Lebanon held a conference in Tripoli, Syria, hosted by the Cultural Association, titled “Changes in ash-Sham: Concerns and Promises.” The conference revolved around several themes, “A Political Perspective in Light of Changes,” by Eng. Salah Eddine Adada, Director of the Central Media Office; “The Post-Fall of Tyrants,” by Nasser Sheikh Abdul Hai, member of the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Syria; “Challenges of Emerging Entities,” by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Qasas, member of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir; “Changes and the Turkish Role,” by Abdullah Imamoglu, Head of the Central Contact Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Turkey; and “Rajab, the Ummah, and Those Working for Its Salvation,” by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Sufi, member of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Lebanon. The closing address was delivered by Sheikh Dr. Muhammad Ibrahim, Head of the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Lebanon.
As for Canada: Under the title: “The Khilafah: Eliminating the Obstacles that are Delaying its Return” the annual Khilafah Conference was supposed to be held on January 18 in the city of Mississauga, adjacent to Toronto, Canada. However, the Canadian government, in cooperation with America, trampled on its laws and values that it has always sung about, such as the law of the right of people to organize intellectual or cultural activities, the values of freedom, and freedom of opinion. The officials launched a media and slander campaign to dissuade the conference organizers, by inciting various centers and venues where such activities are held to refuse to accept any reservations for the conference organizers. This campaign included the issuance of a joint statement by David J. McGinty, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, and Rachel Bendian, Assistant Minister of Public Safety, which included numerous fallacies, lies, and deceptions to justify their incitement against Hizb ut Tahrir and prevent the conference from being held. Despite the cancellation of the conference, the message was delivered. The methods of Dawah are no longer limited to live meetings in public places, where the Hizb’s members live naturally among the people and carry their Dawah with dignity. Furthermore, the internet has become a platform that every Dawah carrier can mount, to deliver their message to the people. Moreover, Allah (swt) harnessed his enemy, Elon Musk, to raise the issue, as he is followed by tens of millions of people, unaware that he is being harnessed for it, not against it. The conference was held online with the following topics as the main talks were delivered by Mazin Abdul-Adhim titled: “Nationalism & the Regimes: Frontline Enemies of Islam”. Abu Musa’s talk was “The Colonialists’ Powers Busting Myths & Erasing Our Fears.” Dr. Gelani delivered a talk titled: “Despairing in the Victory of Allah (swt) is Forbidden, Trusting in Him is an Obligation.”
In Wilayah Pakistan: The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Pakistan produced a new video series entitled “One Ummah, One Khilafah.”
In the Wilayah Sudan: Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan held its regular forum, the Ummah’s Issues Forum, which took place this month, Rajab al-Fard, to commemorate the destruction of the Khilafah and to mark the 104th anniversary of its destruction in Rajab 1342 AH, under the title, “The Khilafah: The Ummah's Project for Change and the Crown of Obligations.” They organized a series of video speeches to mobilize Muslims and commemorate this painful anniversary.
In the Wilayah of Tunisia: Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Tunisia organized a public rally in the capital under the title. “And the Revolution Continues to Liberate from Colonialism and Establish the Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood.” A speech was delivered about the Khilafah and the Muslims’ revolution against colonialism, and Rayah banners and Liwa flags were raised, relevant to the occasion and purpose of the march.
In America: Hundreds gathered in person for “World at Crossroads: The Ideological Crisis and the Path Forward,” the annual Khilafah conference held in America on 5th April 2025, confronting the growing contradictions in the West’s claim to justice, liberty, and human dignity. A satellite event in Los Angeles added to the reach, while thousands watched live from across the globe. Haris Abu Nurayn opened with: The Mask Unraveled: Contradictions in the Claim of Western Values, and Dr. Abdur-Rafay followed with: Gaza’s Healthcare Under Siege, and Dr. Mohammad Abdullah delivered: Muslims in America: How to Move Forward.
The brothers and sisters of the Central Media Office also wrote dozens of articles and news commentaries in the office’s social media pages, Al-Raya Newspaper, and Al-Waie Magazine, reminding the Ummah of this great tragedy in commemoration of the anniversary of the destruction of the Khilafah state, which falls on the 28th of Rajab. This was to remind Muslims of the Khilafah, the obligation to work for it, the sanctity of neglecting this great Shariah obligation, and to galvanize the Muslims and seek support for those among them who are strong.
A number of newspapers and news agencies reported extensively on the campaign, particularly the cancellation of the conference scheduled to be held in Canada.
