Islamic Revival

The Muslim Ummah has gone through a tumultuous period ever since the destruction of the Khilafah. But matters did not end there. Our lands were dismembered, agent rulers were brought power, the Ummah was divided by new borders and chaos and anarchy ensued. Many, in attempting to understand this complex reality arrived to a variety of conclusions. Some who benefited from the new status quo, peddled specific opinions to preserve their positions or benefit from the chaos. In pursuit of answers a confused mentality amongst the Ummah emerged. Today we hear many conspiracy theories which attempt to reconcile the reasons as to why the Ummah is in the position it is today. This article will highlight some of these and assess their validity. 1. The Jews control the world Besides representing a mere 0.2% of the world population, the Jews are shrouded by a mythical aura of invincibility and it is often heard by Muslims that "The Jews" control the world. One reason for this may

Assalamu Alaikum My question concerns the Hijab, whether it is obligatory based on evidence or stems from tradition, imposed to distinguish the free from the slave woman. "Originally the hijab is a legal ruling with class significance, aimed at differentiating the free from the slave woman. This was the understanding of the companions: When Umar Ibn al-Khattab used to perambulate al-Madinah and see a slave women veiled, he would hit her with his famous strike such that the veil would drop from her head and say: "Are the slave women imitating the free women?" Finally I would like to say that in a time where there is no slavery or slaves – Alhamdulillah – then the reason for wearing the Jilbab (outer garment) has been suspended. There is nothing in the Qur'an nor in the Sunnah that states the imposition of the Hijab to prevent Fitnah or vice. Who claims this is a sinner as he has invented a lie against Allah, whereas the woman who wears the Hijab because it lies

The following is the translation of an article from the book by  Hizb ut-Tahrir  entitled 'Introduction to the Constitution and the necessary evidences for it' which is the explanation of its draft constitution for the Khilafah state. This draft translation is from the  second edition  published in 2009 which was updated from the original published in 1963.  Numerous brigades in Syria  have agreed to the implementation of this constitution after the removal of the corrupt system that has brutally suppressed the people for decades.  Article 9 Ijtihad is a duty of sufficiency and every Muslim reserves the right to perform Ijtihad provided he meets all its prerequisites. The Islamic Shari’ah has made Ijtihad to deduce the Shari’ah rules from the address of the Legislator – i.e. from the Shari’ah texts which are revealed by Allah (swt) to the Messenger of Allah  - an obligation upon the Muslims. The fact that Ij

A martyr – Bidhnillah – was elevated to the Highest Companion in Uzbekistan, a member of Hizb ut Tahrir: Gyassov Nadir Zyadowitsh, born 15/02/1975 CE in the directorate of Yangiyo'l in the province of Tashkent. He (Rahimahullah) was sentenced to five years in prison for the first time on 06/12/2000 CE by the Court of the Yangiyo'l Directorate in the province of Tashkent and in accordance with Article 159 Part III of the Criminal Code of the Uzbek Constitution. What he (Rahimahullah) saw - with his own eyes and witnessed personally the cruelty of the prison and its wardens - increased his conviction of the corruption of the regime and the necessity for change. He pledged to himself to spend day and night working to oust Karimov and his criminal, treacherous regime. Therefore after his release he continued in the Da'wah calling for the resumption of the Islamic life with even greater determination and activity than before. He was again arrested on 11/03/2006, and Augus

The Message: Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu, Respected, venerable Scholar Ata' Abu al-Rashtah, I and other dissidents from the Hizb from the period of the Sheikh Abdul Qadim Zallum (Rahimahullah) residing in the European countries... We wanted to join the dissident brothers in Jordan, were it not for the fact that we saw them on the same approach that made us disagree with the Hizb. In this regard, we seek to clarify our idea in the era of the new officials so we might find open ears, receptive to the truth, so that it may prevail from either side, be out from ours or yours. Then we will not hesitate to return to work with the Hizb... This of course, when one of the sides is convinced of the evidence put forward by the other side and commits to it. If I told you that the Hizb, after it had clarified the way to establish the State of Islam, it contradicted it...Everyone would wonder: How?! I have definite proof from the book, The Islamic Personality:
