Islamic Revival

Dr Abdul Wahid – How free is free speech ? – London School Of Economics (LSE)

Question: Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu , Can you please explain why the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave exception to the Arab Polytheists from the Kuffar of Yemen to remain in their religion? Can we consider this exception regarding the Arab Polytheists a restriction to what is general as what is mentioned in the book, The Islamic State, (Arabic version, 7th edition, page 144; English version, page 139): “These people will be left alone and there is no interference with their beliefs or their worship” the two categories are the people of the Book and the Polytheists? And also a restriction to what is mentioned in Introduction to the Constitution of the Islamic State, Article 27, Section B, or is this exception is specific to that generation only? I would like to add another question related to what is stated in the book, The Islamic State (Arabic version, 7th edition page 144; English version p. 140): “The State will appoint a judge from their own people to set...

Scandinavia: How do you see that Hizb ut-Tahrir have developed since 1970s? By: Dr. Muhammad Malkawi (Abu Talha) Copenhagen, 30 January 2015

The following is a translation from the book:  Mafaheem Islaamiyah Al-Juz’u-l-Awwal,  Islamic concepts – Volume One by  Muhammad Hussein Abdullah published in  1994. الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّى (2) وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى Who created and proportioned and Who has measured (preordained) and then guided (Al-A’alaa). The Insaan (human) is material and within the human there exists a Taaqah Hayyawiyah (vital energy) which is manifested in the instincts, organic needs and the Tafkeer (thinking) and these Khaassiyaat (special attributes) remain within the human as long as he is living whilst they cease to exist upon his death. We have already discussed the three instincts and their manifestations. In regards to the organic needs then discussing them requires some preliminary discussion about the human body i.e. the material from which the human being is composed of. The sensed and tangible human body is composed of many cells of different shapes (forms), colours and...

Part Six - The explanation of Mafaaheem Hizb-ut-Tahrir by Ash-Sheikh Haafizh Saalih (rh). Indeed this is the state and condition that we have reached and this is the reality of the Islaamic world, a reality which is witnessed by the senses whilst its decline is not hidden from anybody. However this does not mean that the Muslims have not been paying attention to this decline or that they have given in and surrendered to it. This is absolutely not what is meant because there have been many movements and many indeed which have been established in serious efforts to revive the state of the Muslim world or to stop its decline. However all of these failed and the Islamic world continues in its decline with speed towards the abyss whilst dark clouds threaten its environments and threaten the Islamic Ummah with extinction. We have said that when the person senses the corruption of the reality that he is living in and the feelings (Ahaasees) of getting rid of this reality are activated wi...

Extract from the book 'At-Tayseer Fee Usool At-Tafseer' written by the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, Sheikh Ata Ibn Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah. Contributed translation by a brother May Allah Ta’Aalaa reward him with goodness. َذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالنَّصَارَىٰ وَالصَّابِئِينَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (62) (62) Those with Imaan, those who are Jews, and the Christians and Sabaeans, all who have Imaan in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly, will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. The one who scrutinises this verse cannot but become humble before Allah (سبحانه), as he grasps completely that this is Allah’s speech (سبحانه) and the great miracle of Rasool Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم). This verse explains a promise from Allah – جل ثناؤه – to all humans with their differing deens, with a condition. فَلَهُمْ...

(From the archives). Verily Allah Ta’Aalaa has requested Imaan in matters and to have Tasdeeq (belief) in them, and He (swt) has requested to act in accordance to matters and to undertake them. So He (swt) said: آَمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ Believe in Allah and His Messenger And He (swt) also said: وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ And establish the Salaah So in respect to that which He (swt) has requested Imaan there is no place to talk about whether it is obligatory to act in accordance to it or not. This is because what is required is Imaan and not the action. It is because acting by it does not come in to the matter as the subject matter relates to Tasdeeq (belief) and unbelief whilst it does not relate to an action or not doing an action. As such, in regards to the Imaan in the Day of Judgement and the existence of Shayaateen and Jinn for example, discussion related to acting in accordance to it or not does not occur and has not been requested (or demanded). If there was the...
