Press Release
The Rulers of Pakistan Plunge the Country into Political Chaos, in Order to Continue their Loyal Service to the United States

On 9 May 2023, after the arrest of Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister, violent clashes broke out between his supporters and the authorities. There were clashes between demonstrators and police focused on the capital, Islamabad, with sporadic demonstrations underway, or being planned, elsewhere throughout Pakistan. Army buildings were stormed, whilst army vehicles were attacked. Roads were blocked, whilst people were trapped in their homes and offices. The interior minister ordered suspension of mobile broadband internet, whilst social media platforms were restricted locally. Announcements were made of school closures and cancellations of academic examinations.

O Muslims of Pakistan!

See your rulers for what they are. They are not in power to secure the country or look after your affairs. They do not care if the entire country burns, as long as they are in power. They deliberately provoked a reaction and initiated a crisis. They then worsened the crisis by leaving army buildings without security. They are now steering the crisis, generating an emergency, so that they can remain in power. They only strive to remain in power at all costs. All this political chaos is for what?!

The rulers of Pakistan cling to power for one purpose, which is to serve the United States, regardless of the harm to the country. They have destroyed the economy by obeying the US tool, the IMF. They have surrendered Occupied Kashmir to India, as the US instructed. They are normalizing relations with India, so that it can allow India to consolidate its occupation and aggression. And now they have plunged the country into a political crisis. As for their master, the United States, it does not care who rules Pakistan, it does not care about the internal, domestic political chaos, as long as their interests are served. As the clouds gathered before the current political storm, the US State Department Spokesman declared on 1 May 2023, “Our belief is that we would support and look forward to engaging any government in Pakistan that is reflective of the will of the Pakistani people. And we certainly don’t have anything to say on internal or domestic politics or dynamics there.”

O Muslims of Pakistan!

We will never see goodness for the country from the rulers of Pakistan. They are ruling us by a system that has one purpose, to serve the colonialists. The current system through all the change in faces, is a colonialist system, which rules us by laws and policies designed by the US State Department, the Pentagon and the US tool, the International Monetary Fund. As for the political leadership, the parliament is just a rubber stamp for the colonialist policies. As for the military leadership, it is a guardian for the colonialist system, prolonging its life.

The only way out for us is to uproot the current system and replace it with the Islamic ruling system. The Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) was implemented in the Madinah State, ensuring peace and prosperity. It is only the Khilafah Rashidah that will rule us by our Deen, ensuring that every law and article of the constitution is derived from the Noble Quran and Prophetic Sunnah. It is only the Khilafah Rashidah that will mobilize our armies, for the liberation of the occupied lands. It is only the Khilafah Rashidah that will provide for our poor and needy, by implementing all that Allah (swt) has revealed. It is only the Khilafah that will look after us by Revelation, as the Prophet (as) looked after Bani Israeel by Revelation. Muslim narrated,

«كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِيٌّ خَلَفَهُ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَسَتَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ فَتَكْثُر،‏ قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا، قَالَ: فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الأَوَّلِ فَالأَوَّلِ وَأَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّا اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ»

“Banu Israeel were ruled over by the Prophets. When one Prophet died, another succeeded him; but after me there is no prophet and there will be Khaleefahs (caliphs) and they will be quite large in number. His Companions said, What do you order us to do? He said, The one to whom allegiance is sworn first has a supremacy over the others. Concede to them their due rights. Allah (swt) will question them about the subjects whom He had entrusted to them.”

The re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah requires a political leadership to achieve it. That political leadership is Hizb ut Tahrir. Hizb ut Tahrir has prepared a draft constitution of the Khilafah, with publications outlining the systems of Islam. Over seven decades, Hizb ut Tahrir has prepared cadres of capable politicians and statesmen to rule and run the state. Hizb ut Tahrir works throughout the Muslim World, to establish a Khilafah that will unify the Islamic Ummah under one ruler.

O Muslims of Pakistan’s Armed Forces!

The Madinah State had its Ansaar (ra), men of war who granted their material support (Nussrah) so that ruling by Islam could begin. They traded their lives and properties, willingly bearing all manner of tests and losses, so that they may enter Jannah. It was the Ansar (ra) who asked the Prophet (saw), فَإِنّا نَأْخُذُهُ عَلَى مُصِيبَةِ الْأَمْوَالِ وَقَتْلِ الْأَشْرَافِ. فَمَا لَنَا بِذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللّهِ إنْ نَحْنُ وَفّيْنَا “We take the Prophet (saw) despite all trials regarding our lives and wealth and killing of our nobles. So what is for us, O Messenger of Allah (saw) if we are loyal to our promise?” It was to the Ansar (ra) that the Prophet (saw) answered, «الْجَنّةُ» “Jannah.” So what are you waiting for? The Muslim World is awaiting the Ansaar of today.  Grant your Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir now, so that we are once again ruled by all that Allah (swt) has revealed. It is only then that you will be mobilized for Fighting in the Path of Allah (swt), ending tyranny and establishing justice in all corners of the earth.
