Dawah around the World: The Honorable Dawah Carrier

 Assalamualaikum WRWB

Welcome to todays episode of Dawah around the World – The honourable Dawah carrier.

It is with great joy we bring to you the news that our dear brother – Yilmaz Celik has been released after a year from prison after being served a sentence of 15 years!!

Our beloved brother Yilmaz, who has been working effortlessly with Hizb ut Tahrir in Turkey to bring back the honour and justice to our Muslim Ummah, for many years, was arrested on the eve of Eid last year- 2017.

He was unjustly and unlawfully, taken into custody and jailed, countless times before this as well. He was thrown in jail for speaking out against the wrongdoings of Erdogan’s government! He was thrown in jail for confronting the media’s baseless lies and slander against the work for Islam! He was EVEN thrown in jail for sending a Ramadhan Eid card to numerous civilians and formal institutions including the ATO Chairman of the time Sinan Aygün who complained. For this, Brother Yilmaz was charged with 7 and a half years imprisonment!!! All of this was for his hard efforts and work to bring back the Islamic Khilafah system.

The thought of serving 15 years from a decision made by an oppressive regime who especially shows no mercy towards the sincere workers and callers of Hizb ut Tahrir, that too when absolutely innocent, would lead any person at first to be covered in darkness and hopelessness without a way out.

But Allah SWT reminds his believers in Surah At-Talaq verse 2 and 3, Bismillah HirRahman Nir Raheem

فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَن كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا

وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا

“And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever places his trust in Allah, Sufficient is He for him, for Allah will surely accomplish His Purpose: For verily, Allah has appointed for all things a due proportion.”

This shows us the power of Allah that supersedes every other notion of might and power, is the greatest of all! Our Muslim rulers believe they can daunt the dauntless when the ammunition of the believers is the word of Allah Azza wa Jal.

Truly those who place their tawakkul in Allah -Having utmost trust and relying on none but Him, in every action and beyond, that He will take care of all our life affairs because without His permission nothing could happen or occur- see his words manifest before the eyes!

Such is the blessings given to the believer in return!! Because Allah (swt) is able to do whatever He wants. He SWT can change the situation of an individual or society whenever He SWT wants even though it would go against all odds. The unexpected can come from an unexpected place.

Allah (swt) is the Best Planner to Whom is the Best decision. Having the honour of being the ones who carry the heavy responsibility and duty of working to convey and implement the Deen of Allah (swt) despite all hardship and difficulties which come along with it, Allah SWT has promised to them that He will give His Help and Victory.

For this, the condition is 1 – uphold our duty with utmost sincerity. We end with the powerful words of Allah SWT in Suran Anfal verse 2, Bismillah HirRahman Nir Raheem

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

“The Believers Are Only Those Who, When Allah Is Mentioned, Feel a Fear in Their Hearts and When His Verses Are Recited to Them, They Increase Their Faith; And They Put Their Trust In Their Lord.”

May Allah SWT make us all amongst them.Ameen
