(Translated)

According to the final statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, affirmed on Friday, 5/8/2022, the activation of the political process and the fight against all terrorist organizations in Syria. The final statement of the summit stated that during their discussions on the Syrian file, the two presidents gave great importance to activating the political process. The importance of preserving Syria's political unity and territorial integrity was stressed, according to the statement.

O Muslims in the blessed land of Ash-Sham:

The follower of most of the outcomes of the meetings between the Russian regime and the Turkish regime is well aware that the focus of their meetings revolves around the agreement to preserve the unity of the Syrian territories, and to fight all terrorist organizations. Many actions fall under these clauses that ultimately lead to aborting the Ash-Sham revolution, the waste of its great sacrifices, and the restoration of legitimacy to the tyrant of Ash-Sham; and his control over all areas, and perhaps opening corridors on the lines of contact, which are run by the leaders, of the associated (to outside parties) factions, is the best evidence of this. The clause of fighting so-called terrorism, and fighting all so-called terrorist organizations, goes hand in hand with the clause of preserving the unity of Syrian territory. It is known that the view of armed organizations and military factions from the Russian regime and the Turkish regime, differs in form and agrees in content, and all parties play the same role in controlling the decisions of these organizations.

Undoubtedly, the fate of these organizations and factions is known after they play their role and achieve the desired goals set by the active countries in the Syrian file, which seek to achieve their interests at the expense of the interests of the people of Ash-Sham, and seek to preserve the system of agents and criminality in Damascus; through the toxic application of the so-called "American political solution".

O Muslims in Ash-Sham, the abode of Islam:

Handing over the decision of your blessed revolution to those who conspired against it and traded with the sacrifices of its people, and your silence over the plots of your enemies and those who falsely claim that they are your “friends”, and your indifference and silence about what is being planned and implemented on the land, is undoubtedly political suicide, and a fall into the abyss, and throwing oneself into destruction, especially as you see with your own eyes how things are going from bad to worse, and from hardship to hardship, and the day will come when you will find yourselves between the fangs of the tyrant of Ash-Sham and his criminality, if you remain silent. So, recognize the problem, save your revolution, and save yourselves, your children and your money. Before it's too late.

We are your brothers in Hizb ut Tahrir, the warner. You have experienced the sincerity of our words and our advice to you, and we seek no credit for that, this is an obligation upon us, and we will meet Allah with it on the Day of Resurrection.

So, rush to correct the course of your revolution, by cutting all ties with the so-called supporting countries, as they are not charities, but functional regimes that want to destroy you.

Let us adopt a clear political project emanating from our Islamic creed, in order to guarantee getting the pleasure and victory of our Lord (swt) for us. For Allah (swt) will not support a revolution whose secular project separates His Deen from life, and applies the systems of kufr.

It is our duty to adopt a clear and crystallized political project, not general slogans, and we have to follow an aware, honest and sincere political leadership, in order to escape what we are in from random behaviors based on reactions, and walking the crooked paths.

Political leadership is like the head of the body, and without it, we will not guarantee the safety of its course nor the steadfastness of the path. This is the only way we see for salvation. So, seek salvation and be cautious, Allah (swt) says:

[اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللَّهِ وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ]

“Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.” [Al-A’raf: 28].
