WELCOMING RAMADAN 1433 AH STRENGTHEN FAITH, ENFORCE SHARIA AND KHILAFAH

Marhaban ya ramadhan! Welcome Ramadan. Ramadan 1433 H will come soon. Ramadan is a month which is full of mercies. There is a night better than thousand months. Ramadan is a month which Allah SWT makes fasting an obligation and night praying an additional worship for Muslims. Getting closer to Allah SWT by doing benefaction in Ramadan is like doing fardhu in other month. While doing a fardhu in Ramadan is like doing seventy fardhu in other months.

Ramadan is the month that its beginning is grace, its middle is forgiveness and its end is liberation from the torments of hell fire. In this month whoever eases the burden of his servant, surely Allah will forgive their sin and free them from hell.

Ramadan is the month of obedience. Ramadan is the month to get closer to Allah. Ramadan is also the month of sacrifice in the way of Allah SWT. In which every Muslim is required to make sacrifices to keep hunger and thirst to achieve the degree of piety. God-fearing is the culmination of wisdom from fasting during Ramadan. Manifestation of individual piety is to carry out all the commands of Allah and stay away from His ban. While as the realization of collective piety is to implement sharia (Islamic Laws) completely in all aspects of community life in the shade of the caliphate. All the good things that come throughout the month of Ramadan would be meaningless if they are not followed by the implementation of sharia completely, because that's the real manifestation of faith.

With regard to the arrival of Ramadan 1433 H, Hizb-ut Tahrir / Indonesia calls:

1. All Muslims in Indonesia to fast as bestl as possible, devoutly and sincerely by then all wisdom can be captured as well. Ramadan atmosphere which is also called month of holy war should be able to strengthen faith, spirit to hold Islam strongly, carry on amar ma'ruf nahyi munkar enthusiastically and fight to realize Islamic life by implementing sharia in the shade of Caliphate.

2. Indonesia government to keep political, social, economic and cultural atmosphere remaining conducive so the Muslim ummah can perform Ramadan fasting as well as possible. The government must close sinners including entertainment places which are always controversial in every approach of Ramadan. Similarly, the government must also end all sins like corruption, adultery, cruelty etc including the indifference to commands and prohibitions of Allah which are in Al Quran and Hadith. All of these sins must be closed not only in Ramadan but also in all months because all acts of sins and sinners exist in Indonesia where Muslims are the majority. Allah's Blessings will fill this country if the population of this country is faithful and God-fearing (they run all Allah commands and leave all His prohibitions. Inshaallah.
