Hizb ut-Tahrir, in Bangladesh organized a seminar today at the National Press Club on the subject Khilafah "Caliphate": The Only Way Forward for the Muslim Ummah. About 1000 people from all walks of life attended the seminar which was organized as part of the global campaign by Hizb ut-Tahrir on the occasion of the destruction of the Khilafah "Caliphate" on 28th Rajab 1342 AH (3rd March 1924).
Chief Coordinator and Spokesman of the party Mohiuddin Ahmed and senior member Ahmed Jamal Iqbal delivered the speeches at the seminar. The seminar was chaired by Deputy Spokesman Kazi Morshedul Haque and members of the party - Mowlana Mamunur Rashid, Mustafa Minhaz, Mawlana Raqib, Mamunur Rashid Ansari ... - were present on the panel.
The first speech was delivered by Ahmed Jamal Iqbal. In his speech titled "Glorious History of the Muslim Ummah Under the Khilafah "Caliphate"," he said after the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" state in Medina, the Arabs who were living in darkness established a society based on justice. The Khilafah "Caliphate" did not just enlighten the Arabs; rather it's light spread to different corners around the world by defeating the Roman and Persian Empire in a short span of time. Muslims viewed Khilafah "Caliphate" as an obligation while the non-muslims citizens viewed it as a rule of justice and liberation from man's slavery. Throughout the history, Khilafah "Caliphate" provided mankind with an economic policy based on justice, citizen's right irrespective of race or religion, accountability of the ruler, strong foreign policy etc. Mankind progressed under its leadership and found peace, security and true prosperity under its shade. It is an undisputed historical fact that for more than 1300 years the Khilafah "Caliphate" state led the world politically, militarily economically, spiritually and intellectually.
Enemies of Islam conspired against the Khilafah "Caliphate" and finally destroyed it with the assistance of Mustafa Kamal (Allah's curse be upon him) in 1924. After the destruction of Khilafah "Caliphate", the Muslims all over the world are being oppressed by the disbelieving nations. The sufferings and afflictions of Muslims are increasing every day. Only re-establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" can liberate the Muslims from the current sufferings and oppression.
In the second speech titled "Current Crisis of the Muslim Ummah: Khilafah "Caliphate" is the Only Way Forward," Mohiuddin Ahmed said that after embracing the aqeed'ah of Islam, working for establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" so as to resume the rule by what Allah (SWT) has revealed is one of the most important obligations upon the neck of a Muslim. It is because of the absence of the Khilafah "Caliphate" state that the Western imperialist nations have been able to divide the Muslim Ummah into pieces and impose puppet rulers like Musharraf, Karimov, Bashar, Mubarak, Karzai, Abbas and Fakhruddin upon the Ummah. The Muslims today are divided and weak to the point that when America and her allies are launching their aggression upon one Muslim country after another in the name of ‘the war against terror', there does not exist one single ruler in the Muslim world to bravely stand up for Islam and the Muslims.
At the same time the capitalist ideology with its slogans of freedom and democracy is implemented upon the Muslims today which has failed to bring any good for the Ummah. With the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate", America and the capitalist West will be defeated. Their failure to face the resistance of the Muslims in Iraq and Afganistan clearly points to this fact. The puppet rulers they have imposed over the Ummah will not be able to suppress the movement for establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate". According to the promise of Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (SAW), the Khilafah "Caliphate" will be reestablished soon.
After the speeches were delivered there was a question and answer session for about 45 minutes. The members of Hizb ut-Tahrir on the panel answered people's questions regarding the method to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state, how the Khilafah "Caliphate" will unify the Ummah and become the leading state, what will be the state's policies on energy crisis, price hike etc and how it will deal with the imperialist attempt to attack and destroy it. They called upon the Ummah to engage in the work for reestablishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" with utmost effort and speed so as to abolish the rule by kufr and resume the rule by what Allah (SWT) has revealed.
On the day of Jumu'a, 28th of Rajab 1429 Hijri, corresponding to Friday 1st August 2008, Hizb ut-Tahrir /Malaysia held events at mosques across Malaysia to commemorate the destruction of the Caliphate on the 28th of Rajab 1342 Hijri corresponding to the 3rd of March 1924.
THE Hizbut Tahrir (HT) will observe the 87th anniversary of the abolition of Islamic Khilafat by British colonists on August 1.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Naveed Butt, the spokesman for HT, said that the day will be observed all over the world to commemorate the blackest day of Muslim history when traitor Mustafa Kamal implemented the colonists designs by eliminating the Khilafat and enforcing democracy in its place, following which the British cut up like cake the huge Muslim state into fifty small pieces.
Naveed quoted the then British foreign secretary Lord Curzon who while addressing the House of Commons on July 24, 1924 said that as "Turkey has been destroyed and she will never regain her past glory because we have shattered her spiritual strength, i.e. Khilafat and Islam".
Butt said the combined strength of fifty spineless Muslim states was far weaker compared to the single Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state despite that it was known as a weak state among Europe.
He said the difference between a weak Khilafah "Caliphate" state and fifty agent states is evident from the fact that Khalifah responded to a distress call of one woman in Sindh by sending armies to save the captives whereas the fifty deaf and dumb rulers of Muslims states were unable to help millions of bewailing women in Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Chechnya.
On the Khilafah "Caliphate" day, he said various activities had been planned including rallies, conferences, distribution of pamphlets and handbills to activate the Ummah to get united and re-establish the Khilafat so that exploitation of Muslims by colonists and Imperialists could be stopped.
He said the next goal of colonists after eliminating Khilafat was to keep Muslims divided. For that purpose they created fifty Muslim states which were in fact fifty prisons and appointed jailers such as Karzai and Musharraf on them. Then they began systematic plundering and exploitation of Muslim resources, said Naveed Butt.
From Oil in the Arab world to gas in the Central Asia, and from armies of Pakistan and Bangladesh to gold and jewels of Africa, all resources were channelled to the west for peanuts, Butt said.
He said to keep Muslims divided, western agents gave them hollow slogans of nationalism and useless platforms such as the Arab League etc. The biggest frauds of them was the OIC which have done nothing but rubber stamp every colonist agenda and back the west's tool the UNO, instead of supporting the Muslim people in every crisis.
He reminded that in its last days, Khalifah Abdul Hameed II refused the offer by Zionist movement founder Heartzle seeking settlement of Jews in Palestine against receiving huge money. Despite that Khilafah "Caliphate" state badly needed money to settle some debts at that time, the Khalifah declined the lucrative offer by saying that he had no power to cut the body of Muslim state.
Khalifah said he would never work against Muslims' interests in his life time adding that if God forbid Khilafat was destroyed, Zionists might get Palestine free of cost, said Naveed Butt.
Butt said in his last days, the Khalifah also threatened war against France and Britain in 1906 and forced both the countries to immediately stop staging a play in which blasphemy of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was committed. He said the response of Muslim rulers to the recent blasphemy by Denmark and other European press should be compared to that.
He said as long as Khilafat was there even in the weakest form the Muslim armies were moved on the call of one woman.
Khalifah Mo'stasim and Governor Hajjaj Bin Yusuf responded the call of one woman, sending Muslim army to invade robbers in Sindh.
But today, millions of Muslim women are wailing but to no avail of over fifty deaf and dumb Muslim rulers. Butt said the aim of Hizbut Tahrir by observing Khilafah "Caliphate" day was to inculcate among the Muslims that the solution to all of their problems laid in establishing Islamic Khilafat which would protect their lives and resources against all the enemies.

As you are well aware that for a long time we have not sent any delegations to you nor have we corresponded with you demanding your support for establishing al-Khilafah "Caliphate" ar-Rashidah. This was because we have been witnessing with our own eyes and ears that you have indeed abandoned the Khilafah "Caliphate" behind your backs and you are violating the authentic Shari'ah evidences
UK's liberalism fails convince young Muslim minds
On 27/7/2008 the English paper the Telegraph published an article about the attitudes of Muslims students in the UK. It stated that 40% of students supported the introduction into law for Muslims in Britain, 59 % said that hijjab was important and 33% supported the creation of a worldwide Muslim caliphate. Furthermore, 57 % believed that Muslims serving in the armed forces should have the right to opt out of the army if they are required to fight in Muslim countries. The article attributed the findings to the radicalization of the students at Britain's schools and universities. However, away from the media grabbing headlines of radicalization a more nuanced explanation is that Western liberalism has failed to convince young minds that have been exposed to western culture from the cradle. This is a golden opportunity for Muslims of Britain to expose the flaws of Western liberalism and present Islam as an alternative ideology to the wider British society.
Obama speech woos Europeans but also captivates some Muslims
On 25/7/2008, 200,000 Germans gathered to hear Obama speak in Berlin. The speech dazzled not only the Germans by also the rest of Europe. Even some Muslims were swayed by some of Obama's remarks and felt that he could make real difference to the predicament of the Muslim world. The truth of the matter is that there is very little difference between McCain and Obama in foreign policy matters, especially when it concerns the Muslim world. Obama on his whirlwind tour stood on the side of the Israelis against the Palestinians, supported Kirzai and Malaki's efforts in the continuation of America's occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and warned Iran to reign in its nuclear programme or face the consequences. Muslims should reflect deeply on Obama's numerous nefarious statements about the Muslim world, so that they are not smitten by lofty words which in practice carry no weight at all.
Muslims in Kenya denied justice
On 30/7/2008 Muslim leaders in Kenya accused Cabinet Secretary and Public Service Head Francis Muthaura of blocking the release of a presidential report on injustices committed against the Muslim community. In 2007 Kibaki commissioned the study after protests by Muslims against a wave of arrests that saw 18 detainees deported to Ethiopia and one to U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay . The delay in the publication of the report is fuelling speculation that the government was involved in the deportations. This is not surprising, as Kenya is a subordinate state of the US and is central to America 's war against Islam in Africa . What Muslims of Kenya need to realize is that there demand for justice can only be fulfilled by the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" and not the agent rulers of America .
Gilani supports America's war on Pakistan 's tribal belt
On his first visit to Washington, Pakistan 's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani reiterated his commitment to the war against "extremists and terrorists" after meeting US President George W. Bush on 28/7/2008. He said that his country was "committed to fight against those extremists and terrorists who are destroying and making the world not safe. This is a war which is against Pakistan, and we'll fight for our own cause." On day of Gilani's visit, the US intentionally launched missile strikes on Azam Warsak village in the South Waziristan tribal region. This was immediately followed by the launch of fresh military operation in Swat conducted by the Pakistani army. In return for spilling Muslim blood and subjugating the people of Pakistan to America's control, Washington is promising $15 billion in aid. This amounts to $88 per Pakistani. But so enthusiastic is the leadership of Pakistan to subjugate their people to American domination that they have started military operations without receiving a single cent. Is this how much the leaders of Pakistan think the blood of their people is worth. The messenger (saw) of Allah said," the blood of a Muslims is worth more than the Kaba and all of its surroundings".
