Press Release
Congratulations on the Beginning of the Blessed Month of Ramadan 1435 Hijra

All praises to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! Peace and blessing to the Prophet of Allah Muhammad, his family, companions and all who follow him to the Day of Judgment!

Our dear brothers and sisters, the Muslims of Russia and of the world!

The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Russia congratulates you on the beginning of the Blessed Ramadan! The month of the benefit and glory has started, the month of the great events of the Ummah, the month of worship and abstinence.

We ask Allah (swt) to accept our fasting, worship and efforts on His path in this month and increase the reward for each good deed many times over.

Dear Muslims! Today the whole Islamic Ummah meets this month in a depressed circumstance. We are forced not to obey Allah (swt), our brothers in religion languish behind bars, and sisters do not feel secure, the Ummah succumbs under the oppression of the wicked rulers and occupation by the enemy.

We want to remind you that the reason of all these misfortunes is absence of the establishment of the Ummah's glory with the reestablishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" headed by the righteous Khaleefah.

Ask relief from Allah (swt), ask victory for its Ummah and defeat for its enemies, because, truly, the prayers, the fasting and the oppressed are not rejected! Seek forgiveness of your Lord and Paradise whose width is equal to the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who fear Allah. Be like what you want Allah (swt) to see from you and do what He loves for you...

Almighty Allah said:

(وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئاً وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ 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." [24: 55]

We sincerely hope that this Ramadan will unite the Ummah, resolve differences and contradictions in the Ummah for the sake of Islam, and then, with the permission of Almighty Allah (swt), it will be the Amir ul-Mu'minin who announces the beginning of the next Ramadan!

(إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّهِ قَرِيبٌ)

"Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near." [2: 214].
