﴿يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ﴾

“They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light”
(Translated)

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan held on Thursday 17/10/2019 at 4:00 pm, a public speech, in Gadaref city, and people gathered to hear Hizb ut Tahrir's vision of what is happening in the country, based on the great Islam and its rulings. This has enraged a group of the people of falsehood, who belong to the secularist movement who were clapping and shouting secular slogans, raising their voices and claiming that the Shabab of the Hizb were “Kizan”, in an attempt to confuse the public, which led some attendees to try to engage with them in a physical conflict, but they were prevented by the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir who turned the speech, very wisely, into individual and group discussions, which were well received by the audience.

This was not the first time that the secular movement has carried out such childish acts, and it will not be the last, but we tell them, and their masters behind them or ahead of them, that Hizb ut Tahrir continues in its call, and will not be discouraged by such acts, for the former regime was unable to prevent these speeches, by arrest, and the issuance of laws prohibiting talking in public places, and it failed to prevent the party and its Shabab from calling to the Truth, and exposing the regime’s claims, until Allah disgraced it and fell, and they did not harm the party except for some annoyance.

Our example in Hizb ut Tahrir is the beloved Prophet (saw), where Quraish was undertaking such acts, to avert people from the way of Allah, but they failed and lost, and Allah supported His servant and His Messenger (saw), and honored the Deen, and the State of Islam was established in Al-Madinah. Allah (swt) says about this:

﴿وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لا تَسْمَعُوا لِهَذَا الْقُرْآنِ وَالْغَوْا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُونَ﴾

“And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur'an and speak noisily during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome."” [Fussilat: 26]. The interpretation of this verse by Imam al-Qurtubi in Al-Jami' li Ahkam reads: (Ibn Abbas said: Abu Jahl told people to shout in the face of the Messenger when he recited the Qur’an so that people could not hear what was being recited. It is said: they did so when Quran caused failure to them. Mujahid said: ﴿وَالْغَوْا فِيهِ﴾ refers to making noise by whistling, clapping and confusing words until it becomes “laghw”). This is the same thing that these lost people do: clapping, and confusing; so, we tell them that Allah is fulfilling His light and fulfilling His promise to grant the believers succession to authority, when the Almighty said:

﴿وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً يَعْبُدُونَنِي لا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئاً وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ﴾

“Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.” [An-Nur: 55]

And it is the glad-tiding of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) for the return of the second Khilafah (Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, and its realization is imminent, Allah willing, despite the disbelievers and the hypocrites, for the forcible rule takes its last breath, Allah willing. The Prophet (saw) said: «... ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكاً جَبْرِيَّةً فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»“…then there will a forcible rule, as long as Allah wants, then Allah will remove if He so wants, then there will be a Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood”.
