More than 20 thousand Muslims flocked the Lebak Bulus Stadium in Jakarta, on Wednesday (June 29th 2011) from morning until afternoon. The masses who came from various parts of Jakarta and its surroundings turned up  at the Rajab Conference 1432 H held by Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia (HTI).

With the theme of "Prosperous Life Under the Shadow of Khilafah "Caliphate"", the event was the climax of a series of similar conferences held in 29 cities all over Indonesia, from Aceh to Papua.

HTI creates this momentum to remind Muslims that the establishment of Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" State is a Syariah obligation binding upon all Muslims.

The establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" is a deciding factor of the perfection in the implementation of various legal and other obligations. That is the reason why the Muslims must immediately rise up and fight with all the power and efforts to restore the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" to life.

HTI spokesman, Muhammad Ismail Yusanto explained that besides being a means of enlightenment and educating people,  the Rajab Conference also serves to encourage belief in the establishment of a government which is based on Qur'an and Sunnah.

"The conference was held to step up enthusiasm and optimism about the success of the re-establishment of shari'ah and Khilafah "Caliphate"," said Ismail.

According to HTI, the chaotic situation of the nation and the people of Indonesia at this time are caused by the application of liberal-capitalist system that has been implemented for so long. Thus, HTI believes if the Islamic Syariah is successfully implemented later, Indonesia people will prosper.

"This is the concrete manifestation of the promise of Allah that Islam will bring blessing to all universe," said Ismail.
