O Muslims of Pakistan!
RasulAllah (saaw) warned «لَا يُلْدَغُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ وَاحِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ» “The believer is not stung from the same hole twice.” [Bukhari, Muslim].
However, we in Pakistan have been stung many times by leaders who stand before us, claiming to be strong, wise, loyal and true. Yet, each time our efforts in support of them are wasted, our hope in their success are dashed and we become lost, lamenting that there is a vacuum of leadership and we are deprived of sincere leaders ...
...Until yet another “strong man” is put before us, whether from the judiciary, political medium or armed forces. A long list of names have disappointed us before, such as Ayub Khan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Zia ul-Haq, Pervez Musharraf, Iftikhar Chaudhry and Ashfaque Kayani. And new names are constantly being added to the list to disappoint us in the future, including Imran Khan and Raheel Shareef.
O Muslims of Pakistan!
We are stung again and again because we hope to see strength and loyalty from men who advocate ruling by other than what Allah (swt) revealed. However, the reality is that the strong wise Muslim ruler is the one who obeys Allah (swt), working for the Afterlife, whilst the weak incapable one follows his desires, in a vain hope of entering Jannah. RasuAllah (saaw) said,
«الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَالْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»
“The wise one is he who disciplines himself and works for what is after death, and the weak (incapable) one is he who follows his desires and has vain hope upon Allah the Glorified.” [Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah]. The strength we need is that in Islam and obedience of Allah (swt), that of Omar al-Farooq (ra), and not that of Abu Jahal, in Kufr and disobedience!
All the leaders that disappoint us confirm from their own mouths that they are advocates of Democracy, a system where laws are made according to the whims and desires of men, rather than the commands and prohibitions of Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw). How can we ever expect good from the one who calls for Democracy, when Allah (swt) said,
((وَأَنِ ٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَٱحْذَرْهُمْ أَن يَفْتِنُوكَ عَن بَعْضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ))
“And judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires, and beware (O Muhammad) that they might seduce you from some of what Allah has sent down to you.”? How?!
How can we expect good from the one who continuously interacts with enemy dignitaries and officials, revealing our secrets and seeking guidance, supporting Western military and economic intervention in Muslim lands like Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, when Allah (swt) said,
((إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ))
“Allah forbids your alliance with those who fight you because of your Deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in alliance, they are truly oppressors.” [Surah al-Mumtahina 60:9]?
How, O Muslims?!
How can we expect good from the one who ensures the privatization of our energy resources that Islam has deemed as public property, burdensome taxation upon the needy that Shariah has forbidden, foreign loans upon interest, as well as many other methods to concentrate the wealth in the hands of the few, depriving most of society, when RasulAllah (saaw) said
«الْمُسْلِمُونَ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ الْمَاءِ وَالْكَلَإِ وَالنَّارِ» “The Muslims are partners in three things: waters, feeding pastures and fire” (Ahmad)?
And when he (saaw) said «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ صَاحِبُ مَكْسٍ» “The collector of illegitimate taxes will not enter Jannah” [Ahmad]?
And when Allah (swt) said ((وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا)) “They say that Riba is a form of trade. But Allah has permitted trade and forbidden riba.” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:275]
And when Allah (swt) said,
((كَيْ لاَ يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الأَغْنِيَاءِ مِنْكُمْ))
“So that the wealth does not circulate solely among the wealthy from amongst you.” [Surah Al-Hashr 59: 7]
How, O Muslims?!
And how can we expect good from the one who invites us to the sin of Democracy with his tongue, whilst seizing the advocates of the Khilafah, the Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir, by his hand, throwing them into the dungeons, without trial, including the doctor, the engineer, the heart patient and the one with bleeding bowels, when Allah (swt) said in a Hadith Qudsi,
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ
“The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him that Allah said, whomever harms my Wali I will declare a war against him” (Bukhari)?
How, O Muslims, how?!
O Muslims of Pakistan!
Know there is no inevitable disappointment, if we look in the right place, to the ones who are working for the Hereafter, by calling for the implementation of Islam. Thus, the Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir call upon you to work with them to restore the Khilafah in the lands of Pakistan, the Pure, the Good. The Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir call upon you to prepare yourselves as the beacons of guidance for the people and the ruler, by studying the culture of Hizb ut Tahrir, which gives a complete picture of the soon to arrive Khilafah. The Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir present before you the draft Constitution of the Islamic State, of 191 articles, including the evidences from the Quran and Sunnah from which they are derived. And the Shebaab encourage you to stand with them, brave and defiant before the oppressors, who betray Allah (swt), His Messenger (saaw) and the Believers, fearing none but Allah (swt). RasulAllah (saaw) said,
«أَلَا لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ رَهْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِحَقٍّ إِذَا رَآهُ أَوْ شَهِدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقَرِّبُ مِنْ أَجَلٍ وَلَا يُبَاعِدُ مِنْ رِزْقٍ»
“Do not fear the people from speaking the Truth, when it is witnessed or seen, for it will neither shorten the life span nor cause loss in rizq.” [Ahmad].
O Officers of Pakistan’s Armed Forces!
The words of the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, the eminent jurist and statesman, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu al-Rashtah, have reached you, in form of the “Penultimate Call of Hizb ut Tahrir to the People of Power,” demanding your Nussrah for the Khilafah. The words have reached you to the point that the traitors have threatened the ones who have heard and seen them. The words have reached you to the point that the tyrants have let their thugs off their leashes to hunt and seize the ones who support Islam and its Khilafah. The words have reached you and the caravan of the Khilafah is about to set off, so will you be the ones who grant the support for its launch, or the ones who follow it afterwards?
((لا يَسْتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ أُوْلَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا وَكُلاً وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَى وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ))
“Those who spent before the Conquest (of Makkah) and fought are not at par (with others). Those are much greater in rank than those who spent later and fought, though Allah has promised the good (reward) for each. Allah is well aware of what you do.” [al-Hadid: 10]
