Press Release
(Translated)
We
followed with deep sadness and sorrow the fighting between the Hamar and Kababish
tribes in Kordofan; this is the great crime in which forbidden blood was
spilled, and lives were lost from fighting on a tribal basis.
In a
statement to the newspapers, a member of the Parliament of the West Kordofan
pointed to the knowledge of the President of the Republic of this news of the
events since March 29th, when twenty people were killed, but the state did not
send any troops to separate and pursue the criminals; therefore, the bloody
events were repeated again, and it spread to both provinces of West and North
Kordofan.
Based
on the above, we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan highlight the following:
First: Islam
forbade the killing of the soul without right, Allah (swt) says:
﴿وَلا
تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلا بِالْحَقِّ﴾
“And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except
by right” [Al-Isra’: 33]
Allah
has warned the Muslims from killing each other, the Prophet (saw) said in the
Last Khutbah: «وَيْلَكُمْ لا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا
يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ» “Woe
to you! Do not turn back into disbelievers after I am gone, striking one
another’s necks.”
And he
(saw) said: «إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ
بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ» “If two Muslims meet with their swords, the
murderer and the murdered man are in the Fire”.
Secondly: Islam
warned Muslims against taking pride of tribal connections, and reprimanded
those who call for it and mobilize people on that basis. The Prophet (saw)
said: «مَنْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ
فَهُوَ مِنْ جُثَا جَهَنَّمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى
قَالَ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ». “Whoever calls for ignorance (Jahiliya) he is
from those who kneel in Hell. They said O Messenger of Allah even if he fasts
and prays, He (saw) said: Even if he fasts and prays and claims that he is a
Muslim.”
He
(saw) said: «دَعُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُنْتِنَةٌ» “Leave it, for it is rotten.”
Thirdly: Islam
commands Muslims in case of disagreement between them to refer the disputed
matter to Allah and His Messenger (saw): to remove the dispute and find the solution
and treatment, and made it a sign of Iman. Allah (swt) said:
﴿فَإِنْ
تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْء فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّه وَالرَّسُول إِنْ كُنْتُمْ
تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاَللَّهِ وَالْيَوْم الْآخِر ذَلِكَ خَيْر وَأَحْسَن تَأْوِيلاً﴾
“O you
who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority
among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the
Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best
[way] and best in result.”
[An-Nisa’: 59]
Fourthly: The
Government of the Sudan bears responsibility for this forbidden blood that has
been shed. The state has repeatedly failed to deal with such incidents. It does
not care about the matter from its start, so that more blood is shed and the
news is broadcast and reported in the media. Islam has made it mandatory on the
state to carry its duty to take care of the affairs of the people, and protect
them, and provide security for them. Rather, Islam considers it as the highest
obligation of the ruler's duties. The Prophet (saw) said: «الإِمَامُ
رَاعٍ وَمَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ» “The
imam is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.”
This
responsibility requires the state to protect the blood of the people before the
fighting takes place. It preserves security with its prestige, punishes the
aggressor harshly and carries out the deterrent Shari’ punishment against him.
There is no intercession accepted by anyone, even if it was the tribe.
Fifthly: This
would not have happened if the Muslims had a state; the righteous Khilafah
(Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, in which the ruler would be a shepherd
and its ruling would be a trust not a "cake”!!
In
conclusion, we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan call upon the
fighters, as ordered by Allah, to fear Allah in themselves and remember the
brotherhood of Iman, which brings them together, and to stop fighting, and hold
the criminal aggressor accountable and not to cover up for him, Allah (swt)
says:
﴿إِنَّمَا
الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ
لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ﴾
“The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between
your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy”
[Al-Hujurat: 10]
We
also call upon them to deprive the opportunity to the warlords and policy
brokers, they do not hesitate to trade in such issues for their livelihood. We
also call them to block the way infront of the colonial enemies who exploit
such events to intervene in the affairs of the country and the people and
ignite them to achieve their despicable colonial interests. Allah (swt) says:
﴿لَوْ
أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَلَكِنَّ
اللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِنَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ﴾
“And brought together their hearts. “If you had spent all
that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but
Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise”
[Al-Anfal: 63]
