14 August, Independence Day Message
The Muslims of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan Must Establish a Khilafah (Caliphate) to Unify Them and Counter the Serious Threat of the US-Indian Alliance

After the partition of India on 14 and 15 August 1947, the millions of Muslims left behind in India are now suffering immensely under the “Hindutva” sectarian populism, just so that Modi can win elections. Like the rulers of Pakistan, the rulers of Bangladesh are adopting the policy of restraint before, and surrender to, the Hindu State. Yet, another oppressed part of the Islamic Ummah, after the partition of India, the Muslims of Burma, are victims of severe atrocities by the Buddhists. As for Pakistan, which is powerful enough to give a befitting response to any “Hindutva” aggression, it is now begging India for talks and announcing the sending of a cricket team to India. This is even though, after the forceful annexation of Occupied Kashmir by India in August 2019, the Hindu State has abducted nearly ten thousand of our Muslim sisters. Now, in the light of the wide-ranging support of the United States for the Modi government, including the provision of the latest military weaponry and the reshaping the strategic regional landscape, the Muslims in the region have no choice but to re-establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. Indeed, it will be the re-establishment of the Khilafah that will change the entire politics of this region. It will once again ensure the rise of Islam to unchallenged dominance, in the Indian Subcontinent, as was the case for centuries, in the era of the Khilafah.

The US-India relationship warmed with the Clinton-Vajpayee meeting in September 2000. It culminated in the civil nuclear deal at the Bush-Manmohan meeting in July 2005. It is now increasingly turning into a comprehensive strategic relationship, with the Biden-Modi meeting in June 2023. These ties have extended to cooperation for warship engines, military drones, artificial intelligence and various US supply chains. Encouraged by this, Modi has attacked Muslims in India and the region. The US is giving its advanced technology to the Hindu State to use as a weapon against both China and the Muslims in the region. China is the current threat to America, whilst Muslims in the region have the ability to make Washington and New Delhi sleepless, by re-establishing the Khilafah. It is the only way to overturn the plans of the US-India alliance.

O Pakistan’s Armed Forces! What will be seen, when you overthrow these agent rulers and give Nussrah to the fully-prepared Hizb ut Tahrir for the re-establishment of the Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood?! The Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah will efficiently consolidate all the manifestations of state power, and rapidly unify Afghanistan, Central Asia and Bangladesh into a single Khilafah state. The Khilafah will create a tremendous domino effect, by overthrowing the governments of other Muslim countries in the region, and outside the region, through the political, economic and military resources of a huge state, augmented by the immense spiritual power of Islam, the Deen of Haq. It will demolish this colonialist order and uproot this oppressive man-made structure. It will immediately extend the authority of the Khaleefah to the entire Muslim World. The Khilafah, with the permission of Allah (swt), will spread so rapidly in the Muslim World, that the rulers of Arab and non-Arab countries will not find time to flee to Western countries, with their loaded briefcases.

The Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood will fight for the liberation of Palestine and Kashmir. It will regain control of the main trade routes of the world, be it the Suez Canal, the Straits of Malacca or the Straits of Hormuz. It will establish a new Islamic order, having buried the current, corrupt international order. This Khilafah will be the greatest state in the world. It will have the most resources and the largest population in the world. Its armed forces and munitions will be the most powerful in the world. Above all, it will have the power of the Iman in Allah (swt), which overwhelms all that dares to confront it.

So, O armed forces of Pakistan! Come forth now and earn the Nasr of Allah (swt) with your blood, sweat and souls. Allah (swt) said,

[لِيُحِقَّ الۡحَـقَّ وَيُبۡطِلَ الۡبَاطِلَ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ الۡمُجۡرِمُوۡنَ]

“that He might confirm the truth to be true and the falsehood to be false, however averse the evil-doers might be to it.” [TMQ Surah Al-Anfal 8:8].
