Free Naveed Butt
Raheel-Nawaz Regime Cannot Prevent the Emergence of the Khilafah "Caliphate" by Keeping Naveed Butt in their Dungeons

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Pakistan held countrywide protests on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the abduction of Naveed Butt, spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah Pakistan, at the hands of intelligence agencies. Protestors were holding banners and placards, declaring: “Release Naveed Butt, Voice of Truth, Caller to the Deen, Advocate for Khilafah "Caliphate"” and “Release Naveed Butt, The Pillar of Truth in Front of Tyrant Rulers”.

Four years ago, on this day, in Lahore, Naveed Butt was abducted by intelligence agencies, when he had just reached home after collecting his three children from school. Neither the Kayani-Zardari regime nor the Raheel-Nawaz regime dared to accept the arrest of Naveed Butt and thereby present him before the judiciary. Indeed Naveed Butt is amongst the strongest and most effective advocates of Islam and Khilafah "Caliphate" in Pakistan and not freeing him after four years of illegal detention proves that they have been unable to break or weaken the resolve of this man of Imaan.

Allah (swt) passes His pious men through trials and through their determination exposes the so-called power of the oppressor rulers, establishing that if they cannot force just one of His loyal servants to abandon the call of Truth, then how can they hope to prevent the Deen of Truth from becoming dominant. However, this matter is only understood by those men who have the intellect. As for foolish rulers that delude themselves regarding their own power and capability, follow the path of Firawn of humiliation in this Dunya and severe torment in the Aakhira. Therefore Hizb ut Tahrir asks the Raheel-Nawaz regime to pay heed to the clear signs and release Naveed Butt, otherwise Allah swt will avenge and His vengeance is severe.

[وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ ٱلظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ ٱلأَبْصَارُ ط مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِى رُءُوسِهِمْ لاَ يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَآءٌ]

“Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the Zalimun do, but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror. (They will be) hastening forward with necks outstretched, their heads raised up (towards the sky), their gaze returning not towards them and their hearts empty (from thinking because of extreme fear)” [Ibraheem: 42-43].
