Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Illallah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillahi Al-Hamd

Bismillahi Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the best of messengers, our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

Hizb ut Tahrir extends its warmest congratulations and blessings to the Islamic Ummah, burdened with wounds and enduring under direct and indirect colonial pressure. On this occasion, we specifically mention our patient people in Gaza Hashim and in general across the Blessed Land of Palestine, asking Allah to make the days of this Eid a source of tranquility for their hearts... a tranquility that astonishes the spiteful disbelievers, understood only by Muslims whose hearts are attached to the pleasure of Allah (swt).

I am also pleased to extend my congratulations and those of the head of the Central Media Office of Hizb utTahrir and all the brothers and sisters working in its departments and units to the Ameer of Hizb utTahrir, the esteemed scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, may Allah protect him, asking the Almighty to honor the Islamic Ummah with victory and empowerment at his hands.

This year's Eid al-Adha arrives while the Islamic Ummah feels the weight of colonialism upon its shoulders in every corner of this earth. From the continuous crimes against the people of Gaza and all the Blessed Land of Palestine, to the persecution of Muslims in India and Kashmir, the proxy wars that devour the cities and people of Sudan, the systematic humiliation policy pursued against the people of Syria wherever they are, to the policy of stripping the dignity of Islam from the Peninsula of Islam, to the oppression of everyone who supported or sympathized with Gaza in the surrounding countries and in the West; amidst these colonial circumstances, Muslims welcome their Eid this year.

O Muslims, the Best Ummah brought forth for Humankind:

The ongoing war on the land of Gaza is a warning to you of the evil and scheming that the disbelieving (kafir) Western colonizer harbors for all your lands. The West will not be deterred from meddling in your lives until you cut off its hand from the land, and you will not be able to do so unless you reclaim your authority from the hands of the agent rulers. Your authority will not be restored except by your sons from the people of power and strength in your armies, for there is no dignity for an Ummah that has abandoned its authority. Do not be deceived by the lies of the rulers and their mouthpieces that the situation is unbearable; this is the rhetoric of every tyrant who lies to his people to enslave them indefinitely. Know that the Ummah possesses the capabilities and resources to assume the rank of the foremost state, which cannot be trifled with regarding its interests, and it has enough capabilities and resources to liberate the Blessed Land of Palestine. The Mujahideen of Gaza have borne witness to the entire Ummah, especially to its armies, that the Jews and their entity are nothing in front of those who are prepared. Even America and its weapons are insufficient to overcome a small faction of the fighters of the Islamic Ummah, so what about the armies of the surrounding countries whose numbers are in the millions?!

O Muslims, O People with Platforms, Positions, and Media Outlets:

There is one truth, and it is that the lands of Muslims are still suffering under colonialism, so do not hesitate to expose this truth. This is the crux of the lack of security in your lands. Do not let the people of the Islamic Ummah's compass stray from this truth. Instead, incite the Ummah to demand from the people of power and strength to rid them of these colonial conditions by removing the agent rulers. The Islamic Ummah must have one state that gathers it with all its capabilities and unites its hearts together, the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood. We in Hizb utTahrir invite you to review what the Hizb has prepared, derived from the Quran and Sunnah, as a project to establish such a Khilafah (Caliphate) anew.

O Soldiers in the Muslim Armies:

For whom do you reserve your weapons, equipment, and training if not for fighting the enemies of the Islamic Ummah? Are you waiting for orders from the treacherous rulers? The orders of these rulers will only be to kill your own people and destroy your own countries, not to fight your enemy and liberate your land. Look at how they mobilize you to attack your own cities while warning you against moving to fight the Jewish entity and liberate the Blessed Land of Palestine! Indeed, you know them closely! How they are subservient to what America wants and what the disbelieving Western colonizer loves, while they arrogantly impose themselves on the people and their aspirations. Hizb utTahrir calls you to be on the side of Islam and the Islamic Ummah, to rid the country of the betrayal of these rulers, to cut off the colonial hand, and to implement the Shariah of Allah by declaring the second Khilafah Rashidah on the method of Prophethood, then proceed to liberate the Blessed Land of Palestine under the command of the Khalifah (Caliph) of Muslims, with the Muslims behind you supporting and glorifying Allah’s Nasr (victory).

O Muslims:

It is Eid al-Adha, so supplicate to Allah Almighty, and make the joy of Eid a renewal of your resolve and a source of exasperation for your enemy. Then join hands with the Shabab of Hizb utTahrir for the diligent work to reestablish the second Khilafah Rashidah on the method of Prophethood. Allah (swt) said,

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللهَ يَنصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ * وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَتَعْساً لَّهُمْ وَأَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ]

“O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet. * But those who disbelieve - for them is misery, and He will waste their deeds.” [Muhammad:7-8].

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Illallah... Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahi Alhamd.

Eid Mubarak. Wassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatahu.
