Allah (swt) says:

(( وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ  ))

"For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily, Allah will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty." [TMQ 22: 40]

Last Friday 27 September 2013, the Muslims from the Islamic political party Hizb ut Tahrir held an all-Russian protest called "In Russia - Islam is Banned". The reason for this protest is the actions of the authorities, which indicate that in Russia they want to forbid all that is associated with Islam. The decision of Novorossiysk Court to recognize the Quran as extremist, murder of party member Gappaev Abdullah by security forces, hijab ban in schools, demolition of the house of God - the Al-Ikhlas Mosque and imprisonment of its imam Rustem Safin; these facts speak for themselves. In Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Ufa, Kazan, Tyumen and other major cities in Russia, Hizb ut Tahrir Shabab spoke in mosques of the call to the Ummah to work together to protect the interests of Islam. On behalf of Hizb ut Tahrir Russia the addresses with the call to stand up for Islam and Muslims were given to imams and muftis. Also at the mosques, leaflets with the call to support Hizb ut Tahrir and the call to stand up for Islam were given. On the bridges of road junctions, banners were stretched which said: "Stop Killing Muslims", "Russia against Islam. The Quran was banned on 17/09/2013" and many others. Also Muslims stood in the streets with posters: "I was killed for believing in Allah. Gappaev Abdullah", "In Russia the Quran is banned. I am against it", "In Russia mosques are demolished. I am against it" and many other posters to attract people's attention to these facts in order thereby to affect anti-Islamic policy of Russian authorities.

This campaign was successful, it could attract Mass Media and Ummah responded support. Allah (swt) says:

(( وَلَوْلا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الأرْضُ ))

"And if Allah did not check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed full of mischief." [TMQ 2: 251]
