Islamic Revival

Hundreds of precious lives could have been saved had the government not insisted on implementing Kufr and razing Mosques Lal masjid (Red Mosque) administrator’s demands were implementation of Islam and rebuilding of the razed mosques. Though Hizb ut-Tahrir disagrees with the militant methodology they employed but not with their demands. Had the government been sincere in resolving Jamia Hafsa issue they would have easily done so by implementing Islam and rebuilding the razed mosques. Therefore, the sole responsibility for this massacre lies with the government. Moreover, the suborned manner in which the Presidency sabotaged the negotiation process is a clear proof that, through this crisis, America and her agent Musharraf wished to push Pakistan towards a civil war. Furthermore, they want to divide Muslims of Pakistan on the western paradigm of fundamentalists and moderates and incite them against each other. Everyone, including the government, was fully aware that a military operation...

In the 21st century, the struggle between Muslims and the mal’a is alive and open. We see that the mal’a of yesterday opposed the message of the Creator, and it is only natural for the mal’a of today to do the same. This struggle is the same struggle of Muhammad (saw). Quraish, opposed the Prophet (saw) because Islam demanded that they answer only to Allah (swt). The mal’a of today are worried that the return of the rule of Islam under the banner of Khilafah (or caliphate) will undermine their authority. The mal’a of today are none but the elite Capitalists including the politicians Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld, and the business elites (e.g. Rockerfeller) who stand behind them. The mal’a of today oppose Islam because they know that Islam will limit their authority and restrict their control on society and that would affect their elitism status. Last year, Tom DeLay, majority leader in the House of Representatives, was indicted by a grand jury. The charges were brought up against DeLay based o...

The following is the translation (from Persian) of some verses sent by the famous Indian scholar Maulana Shibli Nomani (1857-1914) to Sultan Abdul Hamid II one of the last Khulafah of the Uthmani Khilafah: 1) Due to you, we feel that the grandeur of Badr and Hunain, the dignity and splendor of the ‘Haramain’ (the two sacred mosques) is only due to you. 2) Who else except yourself is the supporter and defender of the love of the Holy Prophet (saw). To you is owed the sweetness of the faith of the Holy Prophet (saw). The areas of Islam are strong just because of you. 3) Through your majesty and authority the Shariah laws acquired a high status and through your orders the splendor of Islam has risen high. [The Rise and fall of Muslims, Saeed Akbarabadi, Pg. 133]

Abu Ya'la (d. 458 AH) a leading Hanbali scholar along with Ibn Taymiyyah, resembled Mawardi(d. 450AH) in his thought about the Khilafah. Abu Ya'la quotes Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal that the Muslims would be in a state of Fitnah if there was no Khaleef. Page 125, Mahmood A. Ghazi's Book 'Political and Constitutional Thought of Islam' Qadi Abd al Jabbar (d. 415 AH,1025AD) He wrote extensively on the subject, some of his works include: Sharh al-Usul al Khamsah Al-Mughni fi Abwab al-Tawhid Wa'l Adl The establishment of the Khilafah according to the Qadi in compulsory upon the Ummah, because many of the obligations of Islam cannot be fulfilled without the Khilafah, stating the well known principle: Ma la Yatimmu'l Wajib Illa Bihi Fahuwa Wajib [Whatever the wajib cannot be accomplished without is itself a wajib] He also discusses the concept of Imamah in the context the Quranic principle of Amr bi'l Maruf wa'l Nahy An al-Munkar[Enjoining of the Good and the F...

بِسْمِ الله الرَّحمَنِ الرَحيم O people of power! Uproot Musharraf as he creates chaos to save his shaken throne! Yesterday, 3 July 2007, chaos gripped Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, as violent clashes took place between students of the Lal Masjid and government security forces. And horror gripped the entire country as the media carried images of young wounded girls being carried to hospital and the many dead. In fact, the government knew well before it deployed security forces that much Muslim blood would be spilled. On 29 June 2007, President General Pervez Musharraf warned the media of heavy casualties in the event of a raid on Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa. But even at that time his major concern was not the spilling of Muslim blood, but that his heavy-handedness should not be seen by the people, who are already praying for the end of his rule. Musharraf asked journalists, “Can you guarantee that blood of any dead or injured will not be screened on television channels during the opera...

بِِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم Pakistan was plunged into a lengthy struggle of President General, Pervez Musharraf, over the post of Chief Justice in March 2007. The ruling crisis then took on a horrifying character when pure Muslim blood was spilled in abundance in Karachi on 12 May 2007. Throughout the many weeks of the crisis the Musharraf regime appeared weak. It neither enjoys wide support of the people nor does it provide the security (aman) and justice (adl) that are basic rights of the people. Then, after several weeks of struggle, President General Pervez Musharraf gave an extensive interview, in which he presented his solution to the ruling crisis- democracy. This interview received wide media coverage, highlighting its significance. And it was during this interview to The Globe and Mail on 23 May 2007, President Musharraf was asked a very important question. Indeed, it is so important the entire nation must consider it very carefully, if it is ever to emerge from the ...

بِسْمِ الله الرَّحمَنِ الرَحيم On 9 June 2007, Minister of State for Finance, Omar Ayub Khan, presented the federal budget. The budget outlined both the government’s spending and its collection of revenue. There then followed days of extensive, and often heated, debate over the budget by Senators and Members of the National Assembly ahead of passing the bill. Regrettably, throughout the debate, there was no rejection of Pakistan’s capitalist economic system that has unleashed all manner of economic misery upon the people of Pakistan. And whilst the people face rising utility prices, heavy taxes and more expensive goods, the capitalist system works efficiently to concentrate wealth in the hands of Western interests and a small local elite. The government’s attempts disguise its economic failure were a cruel deception. As but one example, the government boasted about spending 1.8 billion Rupees ($30 million) so as to reduce the price of some food items at government Utility Stores. Howev...
