Islamic Revival

(Translated) Since the Minister of National Education in Algeria Nouria bin Gabrit made statements in the summer of 2015 about the need to integrate colloquial language in schools, Algeria has been bustling in reactions. The most apparent being the popular lists of petition signatories, whose signatories ask for the abolition of the French language in education. Moreover the public response was decisive and sweeping... This conflict has once again resurfaced at the beginning of this school year, when a video went viral of a teacher who was praising and beautifying the Arabic language to her students that made the ministers and secularists fly into a rage and make vows to take tough measures … Indeed, it is the whimsical Francophone lobby, the isolated, outcast, anomalous, whose decline, degradation and tension are proven everyday... It is the great Algeria which embraces the Ummah’s natural project; the Islamic doctrine and the System from which it emanates. The conviction of the ...

 We have read the report from the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee on ‘radicalisation’ with interest. We note the main media focus is on whether or not Internet companies are doing enough to tackle the spread of terrorism.  Yet this is not the main flaw in the report – which purports to look at things including the causes of ‘radicalisation’ and the Prevent policy.  Regarding the report, Taji Mustafa, media representative of Hizb ut Tahrir in Britain said, “The primary problems are its omissions, inconsistencies and contradictions.”  “a)  On radicalisation , the report says: there is no evidence that shows a single path or one single event which draws a young person to the scourge of extremism: every case is different. Yet they did not go on to expose the fallacies in this most basic premise (alongside the absence of definitions of ‘radicalisation’ and ‘extremism’) have underpinned all counter-extremism policy in the UK and Europe. To have r...

A bill that would give permission to the agreement between Turkey and the Jewish entity which kind of accepts the massacre of Mavi Marmara has passed last night in the TBMM (Grand National Assembly of Turkey). According to the bill presented to the parliament signed by the AKP (Justice and Development Party) government, the Jewish entity will pay 20 million dollars in reparation to the families of the Muslims murdered six years ago by the Jewish entity in the ship of Mavi Marmara. And the Mavi Marmara cases opened against the Jewish entity will stop. So that the terrorist Jewish entity's soldiers will not be held responsible. After the agreement, the diplomatic relations will be elevated again to the ambassador level. The AKP governments, like all the past governments of the republic, are following their predecessors in keeping good relations with the murderous Jewish entity. For the Turkish Republic has been the first country, which its people is Muslim, that recognised the Jew...

(Translated) The Syrian regime aircrafts carried out a new massacre targeting a funeral tent in al-Sukkari neighborhood of Aleppo, which led to the death and injury of more than 26 civilians including women and children. The targeting of the neighborhood came after a day of being targeted with toxic chlorine gas, leading to the injury of nearly 100 people who have suffocated and received first aid in medical points that lacked the necessary equipment and devices. This is in addition to the successive raids by the crusader alliance warplanes on the neighborhood on Wednesday, which claimed the lives of more than 40 martyrs and wounded 57 people, mostly women and children, and destroyed several residential buildings. Air raids are still incessantly occurring and the regime’s pounding of the besieged neighborhoods of Aleppo continue despite the unremitting shuttle endeavors especially between America and Russia, to find a political solution to the crisis in Syria, deceiving the worl...

﴿ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّـهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا ﴾ “Among the believers are men true to what they promised Allah. Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment] by any alteration” [Al-Ahzaab: 23]. (Translated) In submission to the command of Allah and content with His Qadaa, we in Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Syria announce the death of one of the carriers of the Da’wah from the city of Halab (Aleppo) from amongst those who carried the Da’wah for the ruling to be by the Shar’a of Allah via the establishment of the rightly guided Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the methodology of the Prophethood. He endured, whilst following that path, harassment and prosecutions from the Assad regime prior to the revolution and he continued to work alongside his brothers in the revo...

Hanafi Ulema on Khilafah and its Fiqh written by  Usman Badr Ulama of the Hanafi madhhab, like those of the other madhahib, emphasised the role and importance of the Khilafah throughout the ages. In many respects, they had more to say about issues of ruling and governance than other ulama since many khulafa – the Abbasids and Uthmanis in particular – adopted the Hanafi madhhab and sought advice and rulings from the Hanafi ulama of their times. For example, the Abbasid Khalifah Harun al-Rashid wrote to Abu Yusuf (rh), the student and companion of Abu Hanifa (rh), asking him questions about how to manage the finances of the state. Abu Yusuf wrote back with his famous and excellent treatise entitled  al-Kharaj  detailing many of the Shari’ah rules regarding state finances. In this article we have a look at some of what the Hanafi ulama said about the Khilafah, noting that this should be of particular interest to the ulama, students of shar’i knowledge and activ...

Whenever the word of Nussrah (Support) is mentioned it comes to our mind as Muslims that its related actions were carried out by RasulAllah (saaw) himself with respect to the Arab tribes, asking them for protection, strength and support, as stated in his (saaw) Seerah (biography). So, what exactly is the meaning of Nussrah? Who requests it? From whom is it requested? And why is it requested? The word ‘Nussrah’ linguistically means help, assistance, support and protection, such as the support of the oppressed. It is not requested from anyone but the people of power and strength, who alone are capable of providing assistance, help, protection and support for the one who appealed for Nussrah. The Nussrah comes into being through the declaration of the people of power and strength by their standing up for the caller who requested support in most cases, such as the help of the oppressed, as an example. However, as for the case of the Nussrah required from people of power and strength for...
