بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم We wish to remember  Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Hawarey ,  one of the Ulema (scholars) from Hizb ut-Tahrir who passed away on 11 June 2011, may Allah (swt) grant him  jannah .  The Sheikh was a da'wah carrier who worked to resume the Islamic way of life through re-establishing the Khilafah  who continued to exhaust  tremendous effort despite the severe bone marrow fibrosis he suffered.  The Sheikh  rahimahullah  was born in Rabi Thani 1350 H, 1931 descending from the disciple of the Prophet (saw): Al-Zubeir the son of Al-Awwam, the ancestry of whom meets that of the Prophet (saw) at Qusay the son of Kelab: the Master of Quraysh.
