Sister Ustatha Um Wadhaah

Assalam Alaikum wa Rahamatullahi wa Barakatuh,

An answer to your question at the end of your speech (the dearest word) in your read column (the word of honor) in Akhbar Al-Youm Newspaper, issued today, Tuesday, Muharram 25, 1444 AH, corresponding to 08/23/2022 CE, Issue No. 10770, where it came in the dearest talk: (Yesterday, one of the brothers asked me an important question and he asked me to search for an answer and the content of the question was: What is the reason for the failure of Sudanese society in creating a rightly guided leadership that contributes to bringing Sudan out of darkness into light since independence until now?? Whoever has the answer should provide it to us, by the word of Allah), I say: What makes wise leadership is a political idea based on a correct belief that includes the systems of political, economic, social and others that can solve all emerging issues and take care of people’s affairs with justice and equity. The one who looks at the groups in Sudan sees that they were not based on a clear political idea and did not have clear-cut political, economic or social programmes. Rather, they were based on the legacy of the coloniser politically, economically and others, a legacy that contradicts our Islamic creed and clashes with it in the foundation and branches; therefore, since the exit of the colonizer, Sudan has been floundering and will continue to falter unless we get out of the colonizer's box in which we were placed and made us not think, but it is the one who thinks for us secretly and publicly!

As for the solution, it is very easy and uncomplicated if we make the Islamic creed the basis from which the systems of political, economic, social and others emanate from. They are Shariah rulings based on the great revelation, and from this foundation men are made, for its is the one who transformed the worshiper of stones to the masters of the world, and the shepherds of camels and sheep to the shepherds of the affairs of the world, and it is the one who made the rightly guided leaders such as Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Omar bin Al-Khattab, Othman bin Affan, Ali bin Abi Talib and Omar bin Abdulaziz, Harun al-Rashid, Suleiman the Magnificent, and Abdul Hamid II, and many others that were made from this great methodology. Today, the methodology exists, and there is a party that seeks with the Ummah and through it to make the Islamic creed a basis and the Shariah rulings a standard. It is Hizb ut-Tahrir, which seeks to resume the  Islamic way of life by establishing the second Khilafah Rashida (Rightly-guided Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood, and it has prepared for that, for it presents to the Ummah a draft constitution of 191 articles drawn from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, peace be upon him, and what they guide to with correct ijtihad, and it has a detailed vision in books and publications on the economic system, the system of ruling, administration, the social system, the health care system, the education system and others. And our conviction is that getting out of darkness into light can only happen with Islam, and Islam alone without mixing anything with it, no matter how small. It is the one which brought the previously lost world out of darkness into light, and it is the one which will bring people out today, all people from the oppression of capitalism that controls the world to the justice and light of Islam. Al-Faruq was right when he said: “We are a people whom Allah has honored with Islam, so no matter how much we seek honor in other than it, Allah will humiliate us.”
