Media Office Correspondent Report on Letter to Rulers
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
A special reporter of the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir has recently informed us that in the past few days, a letter has been sent to the rulers of the Muslim lands - from the edges of the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia in the East, to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and Morocco in the West.
The reporter added that the majority of the responses to the letter from those rulers were rejection of the letter with enmity, while some rejected the message without violence.
A senior official of Hizb ut-Tahrir informed the special reporter of the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir that, "the response of these rulers reminds us of the response of the tribal leaders towards the request of the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) to give him Nusrah, after calling them to Islam. The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) approached Bani ‘Aamir, Ghassan, Farazah, Bani Murrah, Bani Haneefa, Bani Sulaym, Bani ‘Aabs, Bani Nasr, Bani Kinda, Kalb, Bani Haarith, Bani ‘Uthrah, Bani Shaybaan and Thaqeef, all during the Messenger's (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) last years in Makkah, before his Hijrah to Madina. The response of those tribal leaders was also rejection, and some of their responses were violent and bloody, leaving the Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) covered in blood from the stones pelted at him and other forms of attack. But after those violent rejections, the Victory of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) came through the Ansaar, the second Bay'ah of Al-‘Aqaba, followed by the Hijrah and the establishment of the Islamic State, which brought about the honouring of Islam and the Muslims."
The senior official concluded his statement by saying that the Hizb - remembering the harsh response of those tribal leaders towards the request of the Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam), which was followed by the Victory of Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) - sees glad tidings in these events; that the response of the rulers will be followed by a new period of goodness.
"And also (Allah will give you) another (blessing) which you love: Help from Allah (against your enemies), and a near victory. And give glad tidings to the Believers." [Al-Saff: 13]
