In the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir, we are pleased to convey to the entire Islamic Ummah the congratulations of the Ameer of Hizb ut Tahrir, the eminent Scholar Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, may Allah protect him, for Eid Al-Adha. On this occasion, the Ameer made the following statement:

On 9/8/2018, Japan commemorated the 73rd anniversary of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Nagasaki during the final days of the Second World War. About 74,000 people died from the effects of the bomb, while the bomb that hit the city of Hiroshima on 6/8/1945 claimed the lives of 140,000 who were considered by US Colonel Harry Cunningham as legitimate targets.

American President’s vile ‘zero-tolerance’ immigration policy, around 2000 children, some as young as 4 or 5, of those classified as ‘illegal immigrants’, have been forcibly separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border over the past six weeks alone. They have been placed in wire mesh cages

Praise be to Allah, who by His grace the righteous deeds are accomplished, and prayers and peace be upon the Master of creation Muhammad (saw). For more than a decade and a half, Al-Okab Forum has been a beacon of thought filled with lively discussions about the realities of the Islamic Ummah and the challenges it faces.
