Press Release
How Long will the Silence over the Enemies’ Crimes Continue?!
And when, O Ummah of Islam, will you support your children and respond to the call?!
(Translated)

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) stated that 322 children have been martyred and 609 others injured since the resumption of the genocidal war by the Jews on the Gaza Strip on March 18. In a statement last Tuesday, the organization reported that the average number of deaths and injuries among children over the past ten days has reached nearly 100 children per day. It confirmed that the numbers include children who fell during the targeting by the Jewish army of the surgery department in Nasser Hospital, south of Gaza City, on March 23.

After nearly 18 months of war, the organization's reports stated that more than 15,000 children have been martyred and over 34,000 others injured, while about one million children have been repeatedly displaced and deprived of their right to basic services.

Moreover, the continued prevention of aid entry into the Gaza Strip since March 2 has further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis faced by the people of Gaza. There is no food, no drinkable water, no shelter, and no healthcare. This will lead to increased rates of malnutrition, the spread of diseases, and a rise in child mortality.

It is no secret to anyone what is happening in Gaza- a genocide and the killing of innocent children. The whole world witnesses the brutality with which this illegitimate entity and its savage army treat its people. They show no mercy to the young or the old; they direct their fire and missiles at everyone. All are targeted to achieve their drawn-out goals and ominous ambitions.

O Ummah of Islam:

Where are you regarding what is happening to your sons and children in Gaza? You witness what befalls them and do not move?! You hear their cries for help and do not respond?! Where are you from the words of Allah Almighty:

[وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ]

“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help” [Surat Al-Anfal:72].

Why don’t you push the rulers and armies to answer their call? Allah has granted you the power to remove from the rulers their humiliation and disgrace, and from the armies their weakness and cowardice, and to raise their determination to uphold the word of their Deen and support their brothersand sisters!

O Ummah of Islam:

Where are you while the children of Gaza die in their tents, burned, or drowned in their blood?! They complain about your betrayal to Allah; they call upon the Messenger of Allah (swt), asking him not to intercede for you, so how can you be content with that, O Ummah of Muhammad?! Do your hearts not tremble at this grave matter?! Does what they are enduring of torment, killing, and genocide not stir your honor to rise in rage, shaking the thrones of the rulers and calling for the armies to move in support of your oppressed sons?!

O Scholars of the Ummah of Islam, O Heirs of the Prophets:

How do you remain silent in the face of these massacres?! How do you not stop these floods of blood?! How do you not call for an end to the number of child and woman martyrs?! How do you not call for the toppling of the agent rulers loyal to the Jewish entity and declare “Come to Jihad”? Are you not the ones who spread awareness in the Ummah, enlighten its path, and show it the way to salvation? Is there not among you someone of sound judgment who will stand, fearing not the blame of any blamer in the cause of truth, nor the oppression of a tyrant ruler, and call upon the armies to rise in support of the children of Gaza?

And you, O Armies of the best nation brought forth for humankind:

Have you accepted disgrace? Have you accepted humiliation? Have you accepted the bloodshed of your children, brothers and sisters without moving in their nusrah (support), without rising in response to their cries for help?! What will you answer your Lord when you are presented before Him, and He asks you what prevented you from supporting your brothersand sisters?

O Ummah of Islam, O Scholars of the Ummah, O Armies of the Ummah:

We, in the Women's Section of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir, call upon you and appeal to your love for Allah and His Messenger, and your zeal for your Deen. We urge you to act to stop these massacres. We ask you, by the right of the word of Tawheed “La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah” which united us as one Ummah and made us one body that aches with sleeplessness and fever when any part of it suffers, do not be lenient, do not hesitate. Rush to support them from every position, and make your action purely for Allah and to raise the banner of His deen, so that you may attain one of the two noble outcomes: “victory over the enemies or martyrdom”.

By Allah, in this lies great success. 

So will you not walk in the footsteps of your Prophet (saw) and his companions, and strive and support your Deen and your brothers in it?

[لَكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ جَاهَدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ وَأُولَئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ]

“But the Messenger and those who believed with him fought with their wealth and their lives. Those will have [all that is] good, and it is those who are the successful.”[Surat At-Tawba:88]
