"Khilafah "Caliphate",  Khilafah "Caliphate",  Khilafah "Caliphate" !" Such a call is again echoed in 8 major cities in the country. After two weeks in a row the call of Khilafah "Caliphate" and Syariah has been echoed in some big cities such as Banjarmasin, Kendari, Palu, Jayapura, Ternate, Samarinda, Batam, Pelembang, Lampung, Palangkaraya, and Ketapang.

And today, Sunday June 19^th, 2011, Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia held again the Rajab 1432 H Conference in 8 other cities in Yogyakarta, Pekanbaru, Padang, Banda Aceh, Lubuklinggau, Bengkulu, Jambi, and Pangkalpinang.

The events with the theme of ‘Prosperous Life Under the Khilafah "Caliphate"' have been held and have become the hot issue while the call of  Sharia and Khilafah "Caliphate" have received a warm welcome.

"Secularism is a misleading  idea  whose goal is to separate the religion with the worldly life so it must be abandoned" said the Chairman of HTI Riau, while opening the conference in Pekanbaru, Riau. He also said that without the Khalifah, there is no real unity.  On the other hand, nationalism only divides the ummah.

"We should not be like dumb evils who cannot say loud to the unjust and wicked rulers that it is obligatory to enforce Syariah in the frame of Khilafah "Caliphate"!" said the Chairman of HTI Central Board, Muhammad Rahmat Kurnia when delivering the warm call of Hizb ut-Tahrir to the Muslims of Riau.

While in Yogyakarta around 10,000 of Islamic clerics (kyai), ustadz, mubalighah, the intellectuals, and the businessmen who come from various areas in Special Province of Yogyakarta thronged the Jogja Expo Centre (JEC) to attend the conference.

They also stirred up the call of the obligation of upholding Syariah and Khilafah "Caliphate".  The special thing about the conference in Yogyakarta was the coming of a leading scholar from Japan, Prof. Hassan Ko Nakata, to the conference. In his speech which was in Arabic, he gave encouragement to the residents of Yogyakarta to continue preaching to awaken the Muslims so that they are willing to be bound by Islamic laws and to fight together with Hizb ut-Tahrir  for the establishment of  Khilafah "Caliphate".

"From Yogyakarta, the call spreads to all parts of Indonesia, even to the world!" he shouted. The Spokesman of HTI, Muhammad Ismail Yusanto, who also attended the occasion read the Warm Call from Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia for the Muslims in Yogyakarta and Central Java.

At the western tip of Indonesia, in Banda Aceh, the call of khilafah is also inflamed. In the city of what is so called as "Serambi Mekah" (the Veranda of Mecca), around 2000 Muslims from various parts of Aceh, gathered in the Dayan Daod Hall.

 The Rajab Conference in Aceh took place smoothly and the participants enthusiastically never stopped calling  the words to establish khilafah. No less interesting was also the conference in Jambi, Sumatra. Around 350 Muslims fulfilled the Auditorium of RRI Tenalai Pura, in the city of Jambi, Jambi Province.

While in Pangkal Pinang, Bangka Belitung, Rais Am of Islamic Organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) of Central Bangka, KH Syairan Rois, stated that the NU Central Bangka supports the whole struggle of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

 "We support all struggles of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and we call upon all Muslims to re-establish the khilafah," he suggested and then greeted by the audience with Takbir.

The Deputy Governor of Bangka Belitung, Shamsuddin Basari, who was also present in the event declared his support. He said personally he supports  the struggle for Khilafah "Caliphate" of Hizb ut-Tahrir.  It is because Indonesia is now really in a collapsed state due to a corrupt system.

He also stated the need for unity of the ummah, from the scholars and the umara (rulers) to all components of society should work together to unite for the establishment of  Khilafah "Caliphate". "What has been struggled by Hizb ut-Tahrir is not a deviation from the religion, and it is worth fighting for. Hizb ut-Tahrir has never committed acts of violence and this is the right one. The government should support the struggles of Hizb ut-Tahrir"he admitted that out loud and greeted by the echos of Takbir.

Since June 2^nd, the series of Rajab Conference 1432 H have been scheduled to continue in 29 major cities with the top event is on June 29^th at Lebak Bulus Sports Stadium, Jakarta. Fatih mujahid  [  mediaumat.com ].
