Press Release
End the Infighting for Ranks and Perks in the Pakistan Army. Instead, Muslim Military Officers Must Grant Nussrah for the Establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah

Amidst the current purging and sidelining of officers who are opposed to the current army chief of Pakistan, came mention of Hizb ut Tahrir. The prominent Urdu paper the “Daily Jang,” reported on 13 August 2024, in its edition for the army city of Rawalpindi that, “(2011) Brigadier Ali Khan was court-martialed for having links with the extremist organization Hizb ut Tahrir.  He was also accused of spreading rebellion within the Pakistan Army.”

Hizb ut Tahrir asserts that fighting over power in the current order and system has no value for the Muslims. It brings no real change. In fact, it is a source of harm. In recent years, the Pakistan Army, the most powerful army in the Muslim World, has been afflicted by infighting at its highest levels. However, whatever faction eventually succeeds, the actual victor is the master of the current system and order, the United States. It is the United States which determines all the major policies within Pakistan, including those related to the economy and military. It is the United States that uses its agents in the leadership of the army to act as the guardian and guarantor of the corrupt system.

Pakistan has seen cosmetic changes numerous times in its history. Faces change, but destructive colonialism remains. One agent of colonialism replaces another. As such, Pakistan is similar to the other states in the Muslim World, where changes in faces are arranged, to ensure that the underlying system remains. The Arab Spring brought many examples of this sad fact, as did the recent change in Bangladesh, despite the many sacrifices and brave stances of Muslims.

Truly, the political and military leaderships in Pakistan, and all their factions, are usurping the authority of the people. There is no leadership that rules according to all that Allah (swt) has revealed. There is no reaching the ruling through a Shariah Bayah that Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw) and the believers are pleased with. There is no reaching leadership through loyalty to Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw), and the believers. There is no guardianship that is guided by the guidance of Islam, abiding by the Shariah rulings, even if there is a memorizer of the Quran among the competing factions. The political stances and military decisions are only taken for personal gain. Not one faction came through the will of the people and their free and fair election of them.

Both the military and political leaderships, and all their factions, depend for their existence on the Western colonialist powers. In turn the Western governments give free rein to these opportunists, to loot and plunder the people, weakening the country. While they are carrying out this dirty mission, they fight over positions and material interests, just as the beasts of the jungle fight over prey. Had there been even any sincerity to Islam, or care for the country, in any faction, that faction would have granted Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir and its project for real change, through the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah.

Hizb ut Tahrir advocates change through the people of power, but in accordance to the Prophetic Sunnah. The objective of change is not ranks and perks within the current failed states, that rule by laws determined by the limited minds of men. The objective of change in Islam is establishing the ruling by all that Allah has revealed in order to please Allah (swt). The Messenger of Allah (saw) personally met the men of war, fire and steel, and demanded from them the Nussrah for the Deen. He (saw) sought the strong, discerning material capability in detail, asking, «فَهَلْ عِنْدَ قَوْمِكَ مِنْ مَنَعَةٍ؟» “Do your people have strength?” Thus he met many tribes including; Banu Kalb, Banu Hanifah, Banu Amr bin Sa’asah, Banu Kinda and Banu Shaiban. He (saw) persisted in this methodology patiently until Allah (swt) granted success. The Ansar (ra) granted the Nussrah, and the Islamic State of Madinah was established.

O Officers of Pakistan’s Armed Forces!

The agents of America in your leadership are the ones who have rebelled against Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw). They are the ones who commit open treason, abandoning the Muslim of Kashmir and Gaza, whilst igniting wars between Muslims. How do you still obey them? It was reported in Ibn Majah and Ahmad with a sound narration that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, «مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ»“Whosoever amongst you orders you to Disobedience of Allah, do not obey him.”

Walk the path of the Ansaar (ra), men of war who granted their material support (Nussrah), so that ruling by Islam could begin. They willingly traded their lives and properties, so that they may enter Jannah. It was the Ansar (ra) who asked the Prophet (saw), "فَإِنّا نَأْخُذُهُ عَلَى مُصِيبَةِ الْأَمْوَالِ وَقَتْلِ الْأَشْرَافِ. فَمَا لَنَا بِذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللّهِ إنْ نَحْنُ وَفّيْنَا" “We take the Prophet (saw) despite all trials regarding our lives and wealth and killing of our nobles. So what is for us, O Messenger of Allah (saw) if we are loyal to our promise?” It was to the Ansar (ra) that the Prophet (saw) simply answered, «الْجَنّةُ» “Jannah.”

It was the Ansaar (ra) who gave the Nussrah to the Prophet (saw) when he said, «أُبَايِعُكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَمْنَعُونِي مِمّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ نِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ»“I take your pledge that you will protect me just as you protect your women and children.” So what are you waiting for, O Sons of Muhammad bin Qasim? Grant your Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir now, so that we are once again ruled by all that Allah (swt) has revealed.
