Muslims United Against Oppression, Will Soon Unite Under One Khilafah

The world is now witnessing millions of Muslims rise up and stand against oppression in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, and indeed across the Muslim world. The little spark from Tunisia has ignited an unprecedented fervor that quickly spread to all Muslim lands. This Ummah is vibrant and alive! It is only the beginning of the true change that is to come, while the world awaits and carefully watches.
For nearly a century, Muslim lands have been ruled by tyrants and despots, implanted by the colonial West. Serving only the interest of their masters, they have consistently implemented harsh and oppressive policies to prevent the return of Islam and the real development of Muslim lands. Against this backdrop, the Muslims have risen to challenge their puppet rulers and the power of the West that has been backing this tyranny. The first step towards the true change has been taken. The khair (good) in the Ummah is clear.
"The example of my Ummah is like that of rain. It is not known whether the initial part (of the rain) is good or the latter part." (at-Tirmidhi)
Several important points are evident:
• There is khair (good) in the Ummah and it is attempting to purify itself from foreign, corrupt ideas and corrupt culture.
• The true motives of the revolts are pure and sincere, and emanate from decades of subjugation, humiliation, and suppression of the Muslim Ummah and its Islamic roots. The Ummah truly seeks justice, honor, and progress that can only be delivered by its return to the rule of Allah, the Khilafah.
• Muslims have stood up and are prevailing over the environment of fear and terror created by the tyrannical, puppet rulers and regimes. The once feared rulers, who were used to torturing or jailing any who would oppose them, now themselves fear the population that they once oppressed. One-by-one, they are fleeing like cowards.
• The West has abandoned and discarded their puppet rulers like filthy rags which can no longer serve their purpose. It should serve as a warning to any future, would-be puppets of the West.
• The hypocrisy of the West and the decline of its power are manifestly evident. Western Countries, especially the US, have expressed hypocritical calls of freedom and democracy when all along it was they who politically and financially backed up these regimes and their dictators to suppress Muslims and the return of Islam. Unable to predict and prevent these uprisings, the Western countries were caught off guard, and are now scrambling to keep their diminishing control.
• The West is attempting to hijack the sincere revolts and is attempting to steer it towards their interests with deceitful calls for freedom and democracy.
With the blessing of Allah, the All Mighty, the plans of the kuffar will be foiled and the prophecy of Muhammad (saw) will be fulfilled i.e.
"…and once again Khilafah will be established on the footsteps of Prophethood". (Musnad Ahmed)
The justice the Ummah is calling for, the progress it seeks, the dignity and security it seeks can and will be established by Islam, and Islam Alone. The Ummah is sensing the fragrant breeze of the Khilafah. Indeed, we in Hizb-ut-Tahrir announce that we are ready to carry this responsibility and lead the Ummah correctly. We say this with sincerity as the promise of the victory from Allah draws close.
"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 أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ"
"Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth…that He will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islām). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear..." (TMQ An-Nur 24:55)
Oh Muslims! Go forth and become part of the work for the re-establishment of the Khilafah.
