O People of Faith and Wisdom, Stay Away from Sectarianism as It is Tainted
(Translated)

There is no doubt that the conflict occurring in Yemen is a political conflict supported by the major countries, especially America and Britain, in order to secure its interests through regional countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia where there are local claws for these regional countries in our land. However, those who follow these power struggles on the international, regional, or local level and those who follow its media and press see that they want to enter the country in a chaotic and fighting vortex, additional to what it currently has. They are calling for sectarianism and fanaticism, so the atmosphere was flooded with terms (Sunni and Shiite, Zaidi and Shafii, Tafiri and Rafidi) due to these charges via an evil operation in order to strike Fitnah between the Muslims in Yemen. Thus, we blame the conflicting political powers in Yemen, especially those which cloak themselves with Islam in their slogans while they are fighting its people, creating an image about Islam being a killing and fighting project, while calling upon Quranic verses, Prophetic Ahadith, and sayings of the companions and Ahl Al Bayt in order to propagate errors to the Muslims and claim that their fights and killings are for defense. Afterwards, when these powers reach to the ruling, we see them renounce from all this, but it also calls upon ideas and Western systems such as a civil, republic, and democratic state as a system for life ruled through it. As such, Islam wasn't supported nor ruled upon, and neither the methodology of Ahl Al Bayt and the Khulafaa Al Rashideen (rA) which they were once guiding with, rather they are achieving through it what the arrogant Western countries want such as sectarian Fitnah, division of the country, and looting its riches.

O leaders of these groups! Where are you leading your followers to?! Have you become callers to the Gates of Hell?! Or is the issue not in your hands and the opinion is not yours?! You have accepted to gamble your decision with systems that do not care about Islam or about you, but rather it takes sacrifices from you for your Western enemies.

O scholars and preachers! Fear Allah (swt) when it comes to His (swt) servants, fear Him (swt) for what trusteeship He (swt) has granted you with, and let those journalists fear Allah (swt) who kill with their pens more people than what those people are killing with their weapons.

O leaders of the army, O officers and soldiers! How do you accept to participate in this Fitnah, obey to the commands, but also leave your weapons for those conflicting sides and these weapons are your responsibilities. Worst than that is that you are siding with the Fitnah and forget what Allah (swt) has commanded you with such as supporting you religion and establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" Al Rashidah upon the method of Prophethood.

O leaders of the tribes! Has money become your sole concern, so that you prep your youth to fight based on fanaticism and tribalism in exchange for some interests in immoral agendas funded by Iran and Saudi Arabia, which serve the West, and these interests are worthless in front of your children's blood. In the meantime, we invited you to support the religion of Allah (swt) and establish a State that unites the Muslims, but you slowed down and your motivation seized, and we do not see your masters, the happiest ones among you, or your happiness?!

O people of faith and wisdom! It is time to show your real faith and wisdom, we shall not rely on anything after Allah (swt) except on you and your awareness. Why not and most of the politicians have become rulers and political powers hurrying to cause Fitnah and inflate it to make Yemen a battle arena for an international conflict cloaked with sectarianism and fanaticism, and the people have nothing to do with it.

O our people in Yemen! Leave it for it is tainted, leave it before it reeks from your bodies when you die and won't find anyone to bury it, and its anguish is inherited to your sons. Realize your situation by being aware about your religion and cutting the hand of the West including the rulers and the infiltrators in your country. You need to advise among yourselves, and strive to implement the Shariah of Allah (swt) in the shade of a State that unites the Muslims, a State that accommodates your differences in Ijtihad, maintains your blood, your dignity, and your money and is not heedless about them. On the other hand, it is best in caring about its people even if they are Ahl Ul-Dhimma; a Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah on the method of Prophethood. Here is Hizb ut Tahrir advising you and putting between your hands a project derived from your creed, so we invite you to support it (May Allah (swt) mend the situation of the Muslims and preserve their blood).
