Press Release
This Ramadan, the Month of Victories, Let Pakistan Army Answer the Calls of the Children of Gaza from Afar, Just as Muhammad bin Qasim Answered the Cries of Our Forefathers from Afar

On 12 March 2024, in its Press Release Number 20240312 – 01, the American military wing for Pakistan and the Middle East, US Central Command, announced a combined humanitarian airdrop, with the Royal Jordanian Air Force into Gaza. However, the crisis in Gaza is not a humanitarian catastrophe, like an earthquake or flood. It is open war by the Jewish entity upon a civilian population, according to a scorched earth policy. It is a destructive genocide that is fully supported by the Western crusaders. It is a cruel siege in which Muslims seek rotten food in rubbish, and die in a state of dehydration and starvation. It is a war that began with occupation, and will end with even more occupation. It is enough now. In Ramadan, the month of victories, the Muslim armies must mobilize to eradicate the Jewish entity. Let the Muslims awaken today’s Muhammad bin Qasim from amongst their relatives and friends in the armed forces of Pakistan. And let the Muslims of Pakistan’s Armed Forces answer the of the children of Gaza from far away, just as Muhammad bin Qasim answered the call of our Muslim forefathers from far away. Allah (swt) said,

[وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ]

“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help” [TMQ Surah Al-Anfal 9: 72].

O Muslims of Pakistan! The rulers of Pakistan, and their whispering shayateen, are still scornful of your persistent, sincere demand for the mobilization of the armed forces of Pakistan in support of Gaza. It is these same lowly rulers who will send our troops anywhere in world, near or far, to fulfill American interests, upon a single phone call from Washington. Yet, it is they who now protest that Gaza is too far! Distance is not an obstacle when the Muslims are in need of support. Distance is no obstacle when it comes to the order of Allah (swt) to fight the enemy that attacks us, and expels us from our lands. Allah (swt) ordered,

[وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ]

“And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you” [TMQ Surah Al-Baqara 2:191]. Distance is not an obstacle when it comes to the land of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, the Blessed Land, which was the destination of the Night Journey of the Messenger of Allah (saw). Distance is no obstacle when it comes to matters of Iman and obedience of Allah (swt). Distance of no obstacle for those who engage in the trade with Allah (swt), offering their souls for the prize of Jannah, and the eternal companionship of Muhammad al-Mustafa (saw).

O Muslims of Pakistan! Do not accept any excuse from any one of your relatives and friends in the armed forces of Pakistan. If they say they are acting on orders, remind them that they are Muslims, and there is no order above the order of Allah (swt). It was reported in Ibn Majah and Ahmad with a sound narration that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, «مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَلَا تُطِيعُوهُ»“Whosoever amongst you orders you to Disobedience of Allah, do not obey him.” If they say that the corrupt rulers of Pakistan are preventing them, demand that they must remove them and their corruption. If they then say that the rulers of the Arab will deny them access to Gaza, demand that they re-establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood, which will remove all the criminal rulers of the Ajm and the Arab. If they then say that there is no leadership to lead them, demand that they grant their Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir. If they say anything beyond that, inform them that they now have to answer to Allah (swt) and you will bear witness against them. And then do not demand anything from them, ever again.

O Muslim of Pakistan’s Armed Forces! You are not weak, as Allah (swt) has made you one of the most powerful armies on the face of the earth. You are not deprived of support from the earth, as the Islamic Ummah of two billion has now risen up, and you must now rise up with it. Above all, you are not deprived of support from the Heavens, for your Supporter is Allah (swt). Now, the pages of history are not turned by those who lack manhood, dignity and Iman. They are turned by men who are tireless in their efforts, and fully confident in the Nasr of Allah (swt). Hizb ut Tahrir under its Ameer, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, knows you well, and over decades. There is not a single Muhammad bin Qassim amongst you, there are many. There are more than enough to complete the required task and fulfill the Shariah obligation. So, put your hand in the hands of Sheikh Ata and advance, dear brothers. Allah (swt) said,

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ‌إِنْ ‌تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ]

“O You Who Believe! When you support Allah (swt), He supports you and makes your foothold firm.” [TMQ Surah Muhammad 47:7]
