Press Release

Congratulations on the Blessed Eid al-Adha

(Translated)

The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Syria is pleased to convey to our Muslim Ummah in general, and, specifically, our people in Syria, in Sham of victory with Allah’s permission, our warmest congratulations on the blessed Eid al-Adha, asking our Lord, the Almighty, to make its days the days of relief, victory for the Muslim Ummah, dignity and empowerment for its religion. He is the Guardian and All-Capable of that.

O Muslims in the blessed land of Ash-Sham:

There is no doubt that we are going through difficult days; there is hardly a house without a martyr or a deceased, a prisoner or a wounded, an abandoned or a homeless person, and there is no doubt that the night of injustice is disappearing, and that the sun of the Khilafah (Caliphate) will rise again. The land will be filled with equity and justice, as it was filled with oppression and injustice. So, be patient for Allah’s promise is the Truth (Haq), and rejoice for Allah’s victory is inevitable. And those who have wronged are going to know to what kind of return they will be returned. Allah (swt) says: )وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُون(“Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.” [An-Nur: 55]And the prophet (saw) said:«... ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا جَبْرِيَّةً فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ»“Then there will a forcible rule, as long as Allah wants, then Allah will remove if He so wants, then there will be a Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood, and then he (saw) was silent”.

And as we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Syria congratulate you, we invite you to work with us to establish the "crown of all the obligations", Khilafah Rashidah (Righteous Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, for it is, by Allah, your dignity in this World and your success in the Hereafter. And by it and for it the Arabs and the Ajam will be subjugated )... فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَى * وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى * قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِيرًا * قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آَيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسَى(“… Then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter]. And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind. He will say, ‘My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?’. [Allah] will say, ‘Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten.’” [Ta-Ha: 123-126]

May your years be filled with goodness
