مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا "Among the believers there are men who have been true to the contract they made with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pact by death and some are still waiting to do so, not having changed in any way at all." (Al-Ahzab, 33:23) Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Syria mourns another of its Shabab, Mahmoud Khalil Mahmoud (Abu Khalil), who died of his wounds resulting from the brutal bombing of the Hanano residential area by the regime forces, which targeted innocent civilians only. He was wounded with a direct injury from one of the missiles on Tuesday 10/12/2013 while on his duty of carrying the Dawah. We rushed to him immediately, hoping this humble, trustworthy, sincere Shab, who loved the Dawah and its carriers and was loved by anybody who met him, would not leave us. Due to the difficulty of medication inside Syria

Image source: The Australian Two Sydney Muslims have been arrested by the AFP this morning for allegedly intending to travel to Syria to fight against the Assad regime. This comes in the context of a broader crackdown by government authorities on Muslims seeking to travel to Syria to assist those oppressed by Assad’s bloody repression. Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia emphasises the following in this regard: 1.  The Attorney General, George Brandis, linking these arrests to Australia’s national security is ridiculous and irresponsible fear mongering. The Government seeks thereby to justify what is plainly an unjustified and hypocritical policy of effectively criminalising support for the oppressed. This crackdown is being sold on the line that joining the fight against Assad is a criminal offence. Why it was made a criminal offence was never debated nor justified and this question is religiously avoided by authorities as it reveals uncomfortable truths. 2.  The Government has some explai

Question: There have been international and regional stances and political statements about the nuclear deal with Iran since its signing by Iran and the "5+1" group on 24/11/2013. These positions and statements show confusion and conflict in their perspectives... Iran considers what happened a victory and that it gained international recognition of its right to enrich uranium, and America denies that the deal provides for the recognition of Iran's right to enrichment, and says that the deal makes the Jewish entity more secure, and that it will prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state, and the Jewish entity considers the it a bad deal and a historic mistake... What I have found, and perhaps what others have found, confusing in order to know the reality of this deal... and the question is: What is the reality of this deal and the positions that accompanied it? And does this deal have a connection with Iran's role in the region, such as the events going on in Syri

Question: Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu Yesterday as the people were dispersing after Friday prayer, and as you know how the people gather around the doors of the mosque, someone called out:  "Send salutations upon the Prophet"  to which another person responded:  "Remain silent, this is an innovation (bid'ah)." The question is: Is this an innovation or not?  Wa Jazakum Allahu Khayran From: Abdullah Amer Answer: Wa Alaikum Assalaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu They man's call upon the people to send salutations upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم at the door of the Masjid is not an innovation, because an innovation is a violation of a Shar'i matter, the means of which have been determined by the Shari'ah. The innovation, linguistically as noted in Lisaan al-Arab is, "المبتدع الّذي يأتي أمراً على شبهٍ لم يكن...، وأبدعت الشّيء: اخترعته لا على مثالٍ", "The innovator comes with a matter in a form u

Question: Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu To the honourable scholar Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashta, the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir may Allah safeguard and look after him. I direct the following to you: I am Chechen; I have lived in Belgium for 14 years where the majority of the Chechen Community resides. Recently there has been a lot of talk and queries regarding children's vaccination in Islam, i.e. vaccination against measles, polio, hepatitis, mumps, tuberculosis, and other forms of vaccinations. There is a big anti-vaccination movement here; their reasons they say are due to the side effects after taking the vaccine, which are growing steadily. In their view, this is a harm that we are not allowed to subject our healthy children to; and taking medicine to be cured is not obligatory, so taking it for prevention from the disease is no doubt of a lesser degree. They say that vaccination is the transfer of microbes into the child's body which is prohibited in
