O Hasina! Your Shameful Detention of the Female Dawah Carriers of Islam will only Strengthen the Call for the Khilafah "Caliphate"!

The Women's Section of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir utterly condemns the shameful, cowardly arrest and detention of two women members of Hizb ut Tahrir in Bangladesh on Sunday 30th August by the tyrant Hasina and the thugs of her gangster regime. The only crime of these 2 pious, dignified Muslim women was to fearlessly stand against the corruption and oppression of this brutal dictatorship and call for justice, prosperity and dignity to be established for the Muslims of Bangladesh under the shade of the Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the methodology of the Prophethood. It is only those criminal dictators, whose rule is synonymous with lies, corruption, and tyranny, who would regard speaking the word of Haqq and advocating truth and justice as a crime and a threat to the state! Indeed, this is a deceitful regime whose members utter empty slogans of the need for ‘women's empowerment' and yet imprison women who engage in the true politics of opposing oppression and calling for an Islamic system that would sincerely take care of the needs of the people. Hasina's intellectually bankrupt regime is bereft of any solution to the deteriorating political, economic, and social state in Bangladesh and yet attempts to silence those who present the Khilafah "Caliphate" as an alternative, time-tested credible solution to the woes of its society. Hasina's tyrant regime is an utterly inept regime that implements a defunct secular system under which today no man, woman, or child feels safe, and which has failed to bring countless murderers and rapists to justice, yet it fills its prisons with innocent Muslims whose only crime is their obedience to Allah (swt).

O Hasina! If you think that imprisoning the dawah carriers of Islam will extend your oppressive secular rule, you are deluded! Your downfall Bi'ithnillah is inevitable and imminent. Indeed, arresting innocent Muslim women inorder to desperately cling to power only exposes further the weak, repressive nature of your regime and will hasten your demise Insha Allah. Furthermore, the campaign you are pursuing against this Deen and the sincere believers to please your Western imperial masters will come to no avail. You will soon witness it being crushed before your very eyes Bi'ithnillah with the imminent return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" based upon the method of the Prophethood. Indeed, only a fool believes they can wage a war against Allah and be victorious!!!

O Hasina! Do you think that detaining these devout Muslimahs will instil fear in the hearts of the female dawah carriers of Hizb ut Tahrir and deter us from struggling to achieve our noble goal? No! Rather, it invigorates our determination to see the decline of dictators such as you and the birth of a state that will be a guardian to our needs and to our Deen. You may be able to shackle the hands of the dawah carriers but you cannot shackle the truth; it will rise and its carriers will multiply regardless of the feeble tactics you employ to silence it. We will counter your tyranny with even greater efforts and louder voices for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of the Prophethood under which those rulers and regimes who brutalised this Ummah and attacked this Deen will taste the severe consequences for their crimes. So we demand that you release our sisters immediately as well as all the innocent Muslims held in your dungeons and consider the humiliation of what happened to criminals like yourself in this life and the painful punishment that awaits them in the Akhira.

(سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا صَغَارٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَعَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ)

"There will afflict those who committed crimes debasement before Allah and severe punishment for what they used to conspire." [Al-An'am: 124]

May Allah strengthen the hearts and grant sabr, ajar and protection to our dear brave sisters and all the courageous dawah carriers incarcerated in prisons across the world, and relieve them of their agony and take revenge on those who oppress them and return them to their families soon. Ameen. And we say to all those who dare to oppress the sincere believers, take heed, the end of your rule is fast approaching!!!

(إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُحَآدُّونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥۤ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ فِى ٱلۡأَذَلِّينَ * ڪَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَغۡلِبَنَّ أَنَا۟ وَرُسُلِىٓ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ۬)

"Indeed, the ones who oppose Allah and His Messenger - those will be among the lowest. Allah has decreed, 'I will surely overcome, I and My messengers.' Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might." [Al-Mujadila: 20-21]
