Islamic Revival

The following is the translation of an Arabic Q&A from the  website  of t he noble mujtahid and faqih, Sheikh `Ata’ Ibn Khalil Abu Rashtah (Allah preserve him).

Hizb ut Tahrir is a political party that treads the path of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to establish the Islamic State. And now Hizb ut Tahrir has begun to attain the Nusrah in Syria as we have witnessed that from the Central Media Office of the Hizb. The question: Why does Hizb ut Tahrir not request its members to make Hijrah to Syria like the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم requested from his followers? Or does the reality differ? Please clarify this issue. By Abu Abdur Rahman At-Tameezy Answer: Wa Alaikumu Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu , Yes, in

The following is the translation of an Arabic Q&A from the  website  of t he noble mujtahid and faqih, Sheikh `Ata’ Ibn Khalil Abu Rashtah (Allah preserve him). Question : السؤال : السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته في الأمس كان الناس خارجين من صلاة الجمعة، وتعلمون تجمّع الناس على باب المسجد فقال شخص “صلوا على النبي” فقال له شخص آخر اسكت إنها بدعة . السؤال هل هي بدعة أم لا؟ وجزاكم الله خيراً al-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh ; Yesterday, people were exiting the Friday Prayer and would congregate by the Mosque door where a person then said: ‘impart salutations upon the Prophet!’ ( sallu `ala’l-nabi ). In response to that, another person then said, ‘be quiet! To say this is  bid`ah !’  My question : is this bidah or not? May Allah give you good and reward.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Open Letter to Nawaz Sharif from Hizb ut-Tahrir, Wilayah Pakistan Peace be upon those who tread the path of guidance, We send this letter to you regarding your commitment to strengthening ties with America that you made even before taking your oath of office, an oath which you finally took on 5 June 2013.
