Press Release
Russia along with the Entire World Tries to Resist the Establishment of the Khilafah

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after the Geneva 2 Conference in an interview with the TV-channel "NTV" where he said, "It is important that the political process is accompanied by combining the healthy forces, who are thinking about their homeland, and not about the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in the Middle East and North Africa. To unite them and help them in many different ways to combat a terrorist threat. This is a goal for the whole region and for the world".

On 22 January 2014 Lavrov said the following, "If on the first stage of the negotiation process the parties can work together to speak in favour of the creation of such Syria, in favour of the preservation of its multi-ethnic, multi-confessional, its secular nature, I think that in itself it will be an important signal".

On 14 December 2013, in an interview to Vesti 24 Sergey Lavrov said that "there are conditions when all the Syrian patriots must understand what is more important: to fight on the side of those who want Syria to become the Khilafah "Caliphate" or to unite and return their homeland the image that it was famous for centuries - namely, a multi-confessional, multi-ethnic, secular state in which all the people live comfortably". In the end the minister noted that "this issue will definitely be one of the principal at the Geneva Conference".

All these statements of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicate the following:

1. Russia and other countries of the West realize that there has come the time for global geopolitical changes in the Middle East and do not hide the fact that there is a possibility of the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Syria! The West and its allies are doing their best to delay the day when justice of Islam will return to the Islamic lands and for Muslims the era of lies, treachery and tyranny of puppet-rulers will end. The enemies of Islam and Muslims understand that with the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", the Muslims will gain one amir who unites the Islamic Ummah and returns it to its former glory. For this reason, Russia and the United States clung to the possibility of Geneva 2, wanting to prevent the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", to win over the so-called secular opposition and contrast it to the mujahedeen fighters, and then find an alternative to the murderer Bashar, thus trying to preserve the secular regime in Syria.

2. Lavrov's statements show that Russia is in a big concern over geopolitical changes with the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", as it is associated with the risks in an oil and gas trade. In addition, Russia feels its ideological weakness before the upcoming Islamic state, so it leads antislamic propaganda as through the media and through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. History shows that due to the full implementation of Islam the Khilafah "Caliphate" successfully disseminates the ideology and dissolves the whole peoples and cultures, making them a single Islamic Ummah. Considering the fact that only in Russia there are more than 20 million, the authorities are seriously afraid of the rapid spread of Islam not only in the Middle East but also among former Soviet states.

3. Russian Foreign Minister does not conceal his goals and does not say that the Russian Foreign Ministry wishes to stop the killing of civilians in Syria, and openly states that the main goal of the Geneva 2 is to unite the secular opposition and the regime of Bashar to confront those who are struggling for the implementation of Islam. Thus Lavrov continues to support the murderer Bashar in massacring the elderly and children and openly states the issue that worries Russia more than anything else in Syria.

4. Russian Foreign Minister is well-informed about the beginning of an armed confrontation in Syria, that it was Bashar who started to kill the elderly, children and women that protested against his tyranny. Lavrov knows that ongoing murders of civilians led to an armed protection and struggle against Bashar's regime of the Syrian people themselves and the supporting Mujahedeen fighters from different countries of the world. Lavrov also understands that the Syrian people want to change a secular regime on the Khilafah "Caliphate" after Bashar's atrocities and the hypocrisy of such countries as the US and Russia, that talking about saving lives only contributed to the murder of civilians. But despite all this Lavrov calls terrorists those who want to protect the Syrians and struggle for the Khilafah "Caliphate" establishment; whereas it is Bashar who is the main terrorist in Syria that kills the elderly, children and women using Russian arms.

All this shows how the countries of Kufr fret about their interests, claiming hypocritically about the interests of the Syrian people and how they unite to resist the coming Khilafah "Caliphate".

Lavrov should know that Syria has a century-long history of secular system implementation however had a long history of Islam implementation! It were the Muslims of Ash-Sham who glorified this land, but not the family of damned Assads and soon insha Allah despite all enemies' machinations Ash-Sham will become a cradle of the second righteous Khilafah "Caliphate".

The Muslims of Syria turn their sights to their religion and see that their salvation not in the overthrow of Bashar, but in the implementation of their religion. Remembering Umar's (ra) words "in Islam your glory and happiness", Muslims work to remove the capitalist system and establish Islam in its full form. The Muslims of Ash-Sham will not accept that low lifestyle and culture that godless West with its secular system tries to impose on. That is why neither Lavrov nor Kerry are unable to divert the Muslims of Al-Sham from the truth path of development!
Allah (swt) says:

(يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ)

"They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the kafirun detest it." [Surah at-Tawba 9:32]

Today we witness how Russia along with other western countries wants to resist the fact that Allah (swt) promises:

(وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ)

"Allah has promised those of you who have iman and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their deen with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who are kafir after that, such people are deviators." [An-Nur, 24:55]

Insha Allah (swt), Geneva 2 is the last attempt of tyranny era, which falls according to the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw):

«إِنَّكُمْ فِي النُّبُوَّةِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ، فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا عَاضًّا، فَيَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ جَبْرِيَّةً، فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»

"Verily, your religion begins with prophecy and mercy. It will last among you for as long as Allah wills, then the Almighty will take it away. Then it will be (followed by) a Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida (rightly guided) on the pattern of the Prophethood. It will remain for as long as Allah wills, then the Almighty will take it away. Afterwards there will be a hereditary leadership which will remain for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if He wishes. Afterwards, there will be biting oppression, and it will last for as long as Allah wishes, then He will lift it if He wishes. Then there will be a Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida according to the ways of the Prophethood." [narrated by Imam Ahmad, and Al-Tayaalisi].

It will rule people according to the Sunnah of the Prophet and spread Islam in the neighbouring countries. The inhabitants of the Heaven and the Earth will be pleased with it, the Heaven will pour plenty of water, and the Earth will show all its benefits.

O, Allah! We call upon you, Oh Almighty, Punishing! Verily the butcher Bashar and those who help him to murder the Muslims of Al-Sham deserve Your punishment. Send down upon him and his friends the disasters already in this world. We ask You, Oh Helping the oppressed, Oh Righteous and Wise destroy the plans of the West in their plots against the blessed revolution of Al-Sham. Oh Hearing, Seeing! We ask you to hasten the fall of the tyranny and the establishment of the second Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida that returns the Ummah its former glory! Ameen.
