Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh, organized Protest Gatherings and Demonstrations Today against the Brutal Atrocity in Ghouta of Syria by Islam-hating Russia and American Agent Butcher Bashar al-Assad, and from the Gathering People demanded Immediate Mobilization of Muslim Armies to Save the Muslims of Syria

Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Bangladesh, organized the protest gatherings and demonstrations outside mosques all over Dhaka city along with Chittagong, Sylhet and Rajshahi after Jummah Prayers today (16/03/2018) against the brutal atrocity in Gouta of Syria by Islam-hating Russia and American agent butcher Bashar al-Assad. In their address to people by presenting the heart-breaking atrocious scenario that is relentlessly going on in Eastern Ghouta, the speakers said, O Muslim, you have witnessed how the barrel bombs raining down by Russian warplanes and the criminal Bashar are killing the starving children and women of Eastern Ghouta, not sparing masjids, hospitals or schools even. You also witnessed, row after row of slain children wrapped in their bloodied kaffan (death shrouds) and the screaming of innocent children from the severe injuries by sprinters and the shortage of food and medicine, which caused their suffering mothers to pray, “O Allah! Take my child’s soul, at least he will get food in Jannah”. No heart can be found which was not bitten by hearing the cry of that injured child of Aleppo, who threatened his tormenters, “I will complain to Allah (swt) against them!” No heart can be found that is not cursing Bashar al-Assad and the Muslim rulers who are aiding him or keeping silent about him.

Speakers said, Our beloved Prophet (saw) said,

«يا طوبى للشام! يا طوبى للشام ! يا طوبى للشام»

“Blessings to al-Sham, blessings to al-Sham, blessings to al-Sham”. The Sahaba (ra) asked why and he (saw) replied:

«تلك ملائكة الله باسطوا أجنحتها على الشام»

“Because the wings of the Angels of the Merciful are lowered over it.” (Sunan Tirmidhi). RasulAllah (saw) also said:

«أَلَا إِنَّ عُقْرَ دَارِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الشَّامُ، عُقْرُ دَارِ الْإِسْلَامِ بِالشَّامِ»

“Behold, indeed the heart of the abode of the believers is al-Sham.” [Ahmed]. Whereas, this Blessed land Ash-Sham i.e. Syria today has become the world’s biggest graveyard due the silence of Muslim rulers, who cannot deny the liability for the blood of river that is flowing from that mountain of dead bodies. O agent rulers, these deaths are part of the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) - these are the Shahid of Islam!

Woe to your silence... where is the Muslim army! Where is their support for the revolution of Ash-Sham? Why don’t they raise up to shake the throne of the Butcher? Don’t they know RasulAllah (saw) addressed the House of Allah, the Ka'ba, proclaiming,

«مَا أَطْيَبَكِ وَأَطْيَبَ رِيحَكِ مَا أَعْظَمَكِ وَأَعْظَمَ حُرْمَتَكِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَحُرْمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُرْمَةً مِنْكِ مَالِهِ وَدَمِهِ وَأَنْ نَظُنَّ بِهِ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا»‏

“How good you are and how good your fragrance; how great you are and how great your sanctity. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the sanctity of the believer is greater before Allah than your sanctity, his blood and his wealth” [Ibn Majah].

O Muslims, do not be deceived by the crocodile tears shed by America and United Nation for the brutality of Ghouta. To avoid losing its own image, America is trying to link the brutal actions of Bashar's criminal regime to Russia and Iran, so that it might not lose its strategic control over the Middle East. But, the Muslims are not blind and can see very well who really stands behind Bashar and his partners. In fact, this brutal campaign is being carried out with the green light from the crusader America, to destroy the Islamic movement of the people of Syria demanding the re-establishment of the Khilafah so that America can protect its agent criminal Bashar and its criminal ideology, the so-called secularism.

O Muslims, there is no hope left from the current rulers in the Muslim world. There was a time when as Amirul Muslimin, Khalifah Umar bin Khattab (ra) succeeded in the conquest of modern-day Syria by sending troops under competent commanders of Muslim armies, Abu Ubaida (ra) and Khalid bin Waleed (ra), whereas the treacherous US agent Erdogan surrendered Aleppo to Bashar by removing the rebels from Aleppo under the guise of “Operation Euphrates”. And, now he is going to surrender Ghouta and Idlib under Operation Olive-Branch. So, we need rulers like Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali (ra) who will send troops to bring the victory for the Muslims of Ghouta in particular and for the Muslim Ummah in general. They will treat the Islam-hating Russia and the Kuffar West in a befitting manner so that they will not even dare to frown at the Muslim Ummah. Our beloved Prophet (saw) said,

«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»

“Only the Imam is a shield, behind whom you fight and you protect yourself with.” [Sahih Muslim]

O Sincere Officers in the Military! Cries of mourning mothers and wounded children are within your hearing and sight. Do not forget that these armies are raised with the wealth of the Muslim Ummah, and the Ummah is spending money in millions and millions for you, and if you do not carry out your duties to protect the Muslims and defend their honor and blood, then what is the purpose of these forces? What you earn as livelihood for your children from the money of the Muslims, will it be “halal” for you if you do not respond to the cries of help of the defenceless Muslim children? So, stop being the “mercenaries for the Kaffir Colonialist America and the West” in the name of United Nation’s Peacekeeping Missions. Indeed it is humiliation for the Duniya and the Akhira. So, we call upon you to remove this current ruling class, agents of the Kuffar West and transfer the authority of Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah Rashida (Caliphate), under which leadership you will be mobilized and honored in this Duniya as a front line force against the Butcher Bashar al-Assad and achieve high rank in Jannah in Akhira, Insh’Allah.

(وَإِنِ اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ)

“And if they seek help of you for the Deen, then you must help” [Surah Al-Anfaal: 72]
