Defy the Treacherous Rulers who Use Force to Silence Our Voices for Islam

A major act of betrayal by Pakistan's current rulers has now unfurled to its full height, the "National Action Plan," which is an American plan to forcibly suppress Islam and Muslims. The purpose of this plan is clear from its frantic implementation, wherein the regime has sought to fill prisons with politicians and Ulema, simply for calling for Islam as a way of life, authority and state. Using operations against lowly criminals and sectarian miscreants as a cover, the regime has violated the sanctity of homes and work places of the sincere and aware Muslims, arresting engineers, teachers, doctors, the elderly, the severely ill and even the woman with a child in her arms.

The "National Action Plan" has not even left the electronic and press media in peace, with the regime using the threat of force against journalists to prevent the political expression of Islam. The "National Action Plan" has strong-armed the judiciary, with the regime using intimidation against our judges to prevent the release of sincere Muslims who are calling for Islam, in a country which was created in the name of Islam and whose noble and lively people have been bound to Islam for over a millennium.

As with every major policy of the current regime, it is in blind compliance with the commands of America, despite all its lies denying that fact. With the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" on the horizon, America is frantically struggling against the return of Islam as a political force and has mobilized its agents throughout the Muslim World, from Tunisia to Bangladesh, to forcibly suppress Muslims. Today, America is fully focussed on ensuring that Islam no longer serves as a narrative and standard for the Muslim World.

Specifically in Pakistan, with reference to the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue Joint Statement of 13 January 2015, the US State Department emphasized the need to "share best practices towards developing a counter-narrative to militancy and violent extremism." American officials and elected representatives repeatedly direct the key figures of the Raheel-Nawaz regime to prevent "hate speech," "Islamism" and "radicalism", cover words for Islam and its political expression. American intelligence is, above all, concerned about certain key concepts, such as the rejection of man-made law, including democracy, the dominance of Islam, liberation of occupied Muslim Lands, unification of Muslim Lands and the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate". And America has provided its agents in Pakistan with hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent on "reforming" our judiciary, media, education and security services, so as to turn Pakistan into a state of force, a police state, to prevent the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah.

O Muslims of Pakistan!

How can we be silent regarding the current rulers' alliance with America, when Allah (swt) said,

[إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ]

"Allah forbids your alliance with those who fight you because of your Deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in alliance, they are truly oppressors." [Surah al-Mumtahina 60:9]? How can we be silent about the colonialist exploitation of our resources, when the Lord of the Worlds (swt) said,

[مَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلاَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ]

"Neither those who followed earlier revelation who deny the truth, nor the Mushrikeen like to see good bestowed upon you from your Sustainer; but Allah bestows grace upon whom He chooses- for Allah is limitless in His great bounty." [Surah al-Baqara 2:105]? How can we be silent regarding the duty of the armed forces to liberate Muslim Lands, including Afghanistan, Kashmir and Palestine, when RasulAllah (saaw) said, «ما ترك قوم الجهاد إلاّ ذُلّوا» "No people abandon Jihad expect that they are humiliated" [Ahmad]? How can we be silent about our demand to end of the rule of force and the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", when the Mercy to Humankind (saaw) said,

«ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا جَبْرِيَّةً فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ»

"Then there will be rule of force, and it will remain as long as Allah will it to remain. Then Allah will end it when He wills. Then there will be a Khilafah "Caliphate" on the Way of the Prophethood." Then he fell silent. [Ahmad]?

And, O Muslims of Pakistan, how can we remain silent when there is great reward in speaking out against the unjust ruler? RasulAllah (saw) said, «أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ» "The best Jihad is the word of truth before the unjust ruler" [an-Nisai]. Indeed, the Muslim is the one who strengthens when faced with tyranny, just as steel is forged and strengthened in the raging furnace.

It is upon us to defy the agent rulers, who are striving for a future of humiliation, exploitation and surrender before our enemies. It is up to us to raise our voices against the traitors in the political and military leadership, who are acting as obstacles to Islam as our political future, a Khilafah "Caliphate" on the methodology of RasulAllah (saaw). The Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir are amongst us and in our front rows of this struggle for the Truth, so let us join them in raising our voices, fearing none but Allah (swt). RasulAllah (saaw) said,

«أَلَا لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ رَهْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِحَقٍّ إِذَا رَآهُ أَوْ شَهِدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقَرِّبُ مِنْ أَجَلٍ وَلَا يُبَاعِدُ مِنْ رِزْقٍ»

"Do not fear the people from speaking the Truth, when it is witnessed or seen, for it will neither shorten the life span nor cause loss in rizq." (Extracted by Ahmad from his Musnad)

O Officers of Pakistan's Armed Forces!

Traitors within the political and military leadership are forcibly suppressing all those who utter the words of Truth and support Islam, to prevent the Muslims from playing their role in re-establishing Islam as a state and authority. You saw this forceful suppression and abuse in the time of Musharraf and you did not act then, though you now curse him. You saw this abuse of force again in the time of Kayani and you did not act then, though you now curse him. How can you remain silent over the forceful silencing of Islam yet again in the time of Raheel, yet you have not acted until now, though you now curse him? The time to act has come to work against the regime which uses force to suppress Islam, especially as the mask of the criminal regime has been ripped and exposed. We are now faced with a great opportunity to eradicate it.

You are the people of power and force, who can within hours uproot the American project and the agents which implement it, were you to abide by your oath to protect your people from the enemy. It is upon you to overturn the American Raj by giving Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate". Move now with Hizb ut Tahrir under its Ameer, the eminent statesman and profound jurist, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, ushering in a new era of dominance of Islam, so that the light of Islam can be a beacon of hope and guidance for the people of the world as it was for centuries.

[يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ]

"They seek to extinguish the light of Allah; but Allah refuses everything except that He will perfect His light howsoever the kafireen might abhor it." [Surah At-Tawba 9:32]
