Islamic Revival

Today began the criminal offence trial of Geert Wilders, head of the Party of Freedom, due to alleged insults to the Moroccans living in the Netherlands, shouting "fewer Moroccans" in 2014, which has made Wilders' attorney justify it by saying that the words quoted by Wilders against the Moroccans is but a political act, and political acts are the prerogative of parliament, not the court. Wilders has also received support from some who do not agree with what he uttered, but they agreed with him on the point that it is a political issue in origin, which should be placed in the parliament, but not for the reasons cited by Wilders and those of his ilk . The reality of this political issue traces its roots back to years ago, specifically in 2010 when Wilders was tried because of other statements he made such as: "Fascist Islam is the real problem," and evoking the glorious Qur'an as one that carries a sick ideology, such as those contained in the book by Hitl...

This article profiles and documents one of the prominent  du’aat  and  mashayekh  working with Hizb ut-Tahrir in Jordan, Shaykh Mahmood bin Abdul Latif Mahmood Uwaydah, or Abu Iyas as he is also known. He is a prominent  da’ee  who embodies those elements that are crucial for people of knowledge in this day and age, and is an example of persistence and dedication in both knowledge and activism in work for Khilafah and Islamic revival generally. Shaykh Abu Iyas joined Hizb ut-Tahrir’s work in the early 1950s, not long after its formation, as a young man, and studied the culture and ideas of the Hizb in Qalqiliya, Palestine. He remained with the Hizb in Palestine until he was required to travel to Saudi Arabia for work, where he was employed as a teacher in the Ministry of Education. Upon discovering the Shaykh’s association with the Hizb, the Saudi government deported him along with several other  shabaab  (members) of the Hizb bac...

Press Release (Translated) On Friday the 28 th of October, Morocco witnessed a truly horrific crime, epitomised in the murder of a young man, Mohsin Fikri, pulverised and crushed in a garbage collection truck, whilst he was struggling for his livelihood. Just like that and without mercy! This horrific crime which indicated clearly the regime’s contempt and disdain to the people stirred the Moroccan street having witnessed dozens of marches and huge angry protests in support of the honour and dignity of Mohsin Fikri and to his right and through that, the dignity of the people of the country as a whole. The protesters stopped in front of the police stations raising the slogan “Murderers and criminals” … This popular tide indicates proof that the Islamic Ummah hoards a severe hatred towards its regimes whatever they are named. It represents a blatant evidence that Morocco boasts about a fake stability and that it resorts to misrepresentation to contain a latent revolution agai...

News: Soon after floating its currency and increasing fuel prices, Egypt’s government adamantly defended its decision to engage the IMF. Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said, “Today, we don’t have the luxury to postpone these decisions; today, we can’t take painkiller decisions. We’re taking important decisions, decisions that will revive the economy and take it forward.” However, the Egyptian people are angry and do not believe the IMF prescription will improve the situation. This polarization in viewpoints has led some to forecast increase social unrest and possibly a full-scale uprising. Comment: Egypt’s government devalued the Egyptian pound by 48% and is expected to remove state subsidies on fuel to qualify for the $12 billion IMF deal. The government has already lifted subsidies on household electricity and increased the price of sugar by 40% for ration cardholders. The latest measures will only hurt the poor and the middle class that has been decimated by the harsh econo...

A Letter from the Women's Section of Hizb ut Tahrir in Tunisia To The Minister of Women, Family, and Children (Translated) Women in Tunisia, like other women in the Muslim countries were dignified and honoured when the Muslims had a state and an implemented system of life. But after the destruction of the Khilafah in the twenties of the last century, and the absence of Allah’s Shariah from application, women suffered humiliation and abuse, and ever since have experienced a miserable life, not only in areas concerning the issues of women, but in all areas of life. They have a painful reality which is made worse by the exploitation of their efforts and holding them accountable for what happens from loss or disruption of their families. It is in the midst of this tragic life, women are hurt but do not speak up, instead international organizations and feminist movements speak on their behalf and raise slogans and issue laws and contract agreements that the West are happy wit...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم What Is Wrong With You, How Do You Judge? The Democratic Wedding is a Celebration and Jubilation of Governance by Other than What Allah Revealed (Translated) On Sunday evening, 16/10/2016, the emir issued decree to dissolve the parliament (Ummah Council), followed by a call to carry out elections on Saturday, 26/11/2016. Subsequently the country will see election campaigns of candidates to be nominated for this Council, accompanied by mass media coverage of the so-called democratic wedding. Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an: ﴿ ... إِنْ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ يَقُصُّ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْفَاصِلِينَ ﴾ “The decision is only for Allah. He relates the truth, and He is the best of deciders.” [Al-An’am: 57] And He (swt) says: ﴿ أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكْمًا لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ ﴾ “Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than Allah in judgement for a people ...

Press Release Yet again, another corruption scandal has been found out. This time it involves the Health Ministry’s Officials are grilled over misappropriation of over Sh 3b ($300m). As usual, the investigation has been launched but certainly no one will be brought to the book. On the other hand, the ruling political elites along with the opposition have turned the issue into a blame game! With this regard, the Islamic Political Organization of Hizb ut Tahrir wishes to mention the following: It is a bold betrayal and injustice of the so-called authorities holding public posts claiming to represent the public interests, instead of working to improve the life standard of the citizens; they are strongly competing over embezzlement of the public funds. Sadly, the fresh scam comes at a time where hundreds of thousands Kenyans are on the brink of starvation due to the drought. This is crystal clear the Anti corruption bodies despite of changing its names have failed to deal with the e...
