Press Release
The Arrest of Dr. Salim Jaradat
Another Disgrace added to the Regime’s Disgraceful Pages
(Translated)

On Wednesday morning 8/2/2017, the regime in Jordan arrested Dr. Salim Jaradat, a resident of Karak governorate, by mobilizing a large security force to the Rabbah area in Karak, to his workplace, and arrested him from the center of the market. Dr. Salim Jaradat is one of the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir, working to resume the Islamic way of life through the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) State on the method of the Prophethood. He holds a doctorate degree in Tafseer, and he is known by all to be a bulwark of manhood and heroic stances. He was the one who expelled the Jews from the city of Rabbah and threw his shoe at them in June 2012, raising his voice, saying, “The shameful Wadi Araba Peace Agreement is not worth the price of that shoe that I hit those Jews ...” He is known for his courage in speaking the truth, fearless of the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah. Days before his detention, the General Intelligence confiscated his passport when he returned from Hijaz after performing Umrah, and earlier the regime arrested a number of Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir who are still languishing in jails!

Obviously, the Jordanian regime is undertaking a fierce campaign against anyone who seeks to change and carries the call to Islam; putting itself at the service of America in its war against Islam and Muslims, for the sake of satisfying Trump, who openly declared that he is fighting Islam, within what described by Bob Bear, Intelligence and Security Affairs Analyst for CNN, as a new crusade. The Jordanian regime has already declared its readiness to cooperate with Trump’s administration in what it calls war on ‘terrorism’, and it is known without any doubt that Trump does not mean by ‘terrorism’ anything other than Islam itself without elusion and without exceptions!

This was reason for the regime crackdown on the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir in particular, and other Muslim Shabab in general. While, those indulging in affluence of the sons of the regime and the corrupters and the protectors of thieves, dwell in their palaces which they built with the money they looted, and are protected by the likes of those large forces mobilized to arrest a man because he says Rabbi Allah (my Lord is Allah)!

So, O you who have lost the direction, Salem and his brothers are not the ones who plundered the riches of Jordan and sold it at the cheapest prices! They are not the ones behind the debt of Jordan, which is beyond imagination! They are not the ones who fought Allah and His Messenger, and took capitalism as a system of life! Salem and his brothers are not the ones who wreaked havoc in land, and impoverished the country and the people!

And O you who lost direction and are eluded by your tyranny and strength, we remind you of the saying of the Almighty:

[فأَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ * فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي أَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَخْزَىٰ وَهُمْ لَا يُنصَرُونَ]

“As for 'Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allah who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs. * So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life; but the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.” [Fussilat: 15-16]

Salem and his brothers have held their deal with Allah Almighty, the Creator of all things, the Lord of all things, and the Sovereign, and not with Trump or other than Trump. And whoever holds his deal with Allah the Almighty he triumphs,

(وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاءَ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ)

“And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people so that Allah may make evident those who believe and [may] take to Himself from among you martyrs - and Allah does not like the wrongdoers.” [Al-i-Imran: 140]

The arrest of Salem and other Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir will not weaken the party's members, and will not increase them except steadfastness on their call, and firmness in speaking the truth. The Hizb and its Shabab will remain a thorn in the throat of the oppressors, until we meet Allah Almighty or we witness His promise:

(تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ)

“That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.” [Al Qasas: 83]
