Q&A: Why does Hizb ut Tahrir not request its members to make Hijrah to Syria?

By

The following is the translation of an Arabic Q&A from the website of the noble mujtahid and faqih, Sheikh `Ata’ Ibn Khalil Abu Rashtah (Allah preserve him).

As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu,
Question:
In this question I am comparing the time when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم attained the Nusrah and the beginning of the Hijrah by his companions with what is happening today in Ash-Shaam. Hizb ut Tahrir is a political party that treads the path of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to establish the Islamic State. And now Hizb ut Tahrir has begun to attain the Nusrah in Syria as we have witnessed that from the Central Media Office of the Hizb.
The question: Why does Hizb ut Tahrir not request its members to make Hijrah to Syria like the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم requested from his followers? Or does the reality differ? Please clarify this issue.
By Abu Abdur Rahman At-Tameezy
Answer:
Wa Alaikumu Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,
Yes, indeed the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم did order the Sahaabah (Companions) to make Hijrah to Madinah however this was after the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم had obtained the Nusrah from the people of Al-Madinah i.e. after the second pledge (Bay'ah) of Al-Aqabah. This is because it was a Bay'ah made upon the ruling where Madinah became Dar ul-Islam Hukman (in its ruling) as the power had been achieved within it for Islam and the Muslims. And it awaited the arrival of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم so that it became Dar ul-Islam Fi'lan (in actuality) in which the Islamic rulings were applied.
And when the likes of the second pledge of Al-Aqabah is achieved for us then the time for Hijrah will take place in accordance to the Shari'ah rules.
Your Brother,
Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

By
Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider ...

The Shariah rules relating to mixing between the sexes

By
In Islam, the basic principle of the interaction between men and women is segregation. This means that in all areas of life and in all places whether private or public, contact between men and women is generally prohibited. Many evidences establish the principle of not mixing between the sexes, and there are many ahadith which clarify that this is the case in both public and private areas: Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "The best rows for the men are the first rows and the worst rows for them are the last rows. The best rows for the women are the last rows and the worst for them are the front rows." The last rows are the best for the women because they are farther away from the men as against the first rows that are nearest to men's rows. [This is related by the group except al-Bukhari]  In Abu Dawud, p.284, Hadith No. 4931, it is narrated upon the authority of Aisha (ra) that she said: "I used to play with my friends and whenever the P...

Authenticity of ahadith on tall buildings in Makkah?

By
Question Are these   ḥadith  sound? Are the references provided correct and accurate? When you see the belly of Makkah will be cleft open and through it will be dug out river-like passages (i.e. tunnels) (or water in the road to Makkah), and you see the buildings surpass its mountains, then take care (or beware, or a variant has: then know that the matter is at hand, or then understand that the time of trial (Judgment day) is near at hand). [Narrated by Al-Azraqi in the Book of reports about Makkah – Kitab Akhbaar Makkah, Hadiyth-1725; A specific Hadiyth (in fact several related-Hadiyths) which prophesizes about this Tower. Itha ra’aitun mecca bu’ijat katha’ima, wa ya-tasawa bunyanuha ru’usa jibaliha, faqad athalati as-Sa’atu. When you see Mecca, its mountain with holes (pierced through them), and its buildings reach its mountain tops, then as-Sa’ah (the Hour) has already cast its shadow. [Suyuti] So when you see in Makkah that channels have already been dug (or tunnels b...
