Hizb ut Tahrir is the One who Works for it with a Clear Methodology Restricted to the Truthful Shari'ah

Working to Establish the Khilafah State is a Shar'i Obligation: Hizb ut Tahrir is the One who Works for it with a Clear Methodology Restricted to the Truthful Shari'ah

On Monday 09/16/2013, several newspapers and websites circulated the answer to a question posed to Sheikh Yasser Brahimi on his homepage "Sawt as-Salaf" around the obligation to participate in groups that work to establish the Khilafah and call for Jihad. The Sheikh replied with the following: "Further; cooperation in righteousness and piety is an obligation. The obligation of engaging in it does not just arise for the sake of the announcement of people they want to establish the Khilafah or jihad or accountability or other lost obligations. Rather the methodology, the work and the means must be correct, in addition to the correct aim and purpose. Many of those who claim to have good intentions directed towards the right purpose are not so!"
What can be understood from the answer is that the participation in a group working to establish the Khilafah is a Shar'i obligation, but the group that shall clear the conscience before Allah has to be investigated. It has to be a group that unites the correct methodology, correct work and correct means. Regardless of the apparent disparity between the Egyptian newspapers in how they grabbed for the news, the text is only a carrier for its content. Therefore we in Hizb ut Tahrir emphasize the following issues:
1. The Khilafah is the system of governance favored by Allah for the Muslims, its obligation is inevitable and it has to be strived for relentlessly! The Muslims have been accommodated under its shadow for centuries, it was truly a protector of the Muslims. Since the Khilafah's abolition in 1924 CE at the hands of the criminal of that era, Mustafa Kemal, Muslims have remained without a shepherd who cares for their affairs, protects their Islam and defends them. We have become like orphans at a banquet of villains, and the Ummah's pride and dignity will not return until the return of the Khilafah on the method of Prophethood and the realization of the tidings of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
2. Hizb ut Tahrir has dedicated itself to work for the establishment of an Islamic Khilafah, since it was founded by the honorable Azhar-Scholar Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabahani in 1953, traces the steps of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in his establishment of the first Islamic state in Mecca, one step after the other:
In Mecca he صلى الله عليه وسلم founded a block that engaged in intellectual conflict and political struggle in society, and worked to request the Nusra from the people of power and position. Hizb ut Tahrir is following this path, confident of the correctness of its approach pursued and for the work being done. It does not participate in the malicious democratic game to reach to power riding the current corrupt system, just as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم rejected participation and riding the corrupt system of Mecca. The Hizb does not undertake material actions and does not adopt violence as the way for the establishment of the Khilafah, because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم refused to do so. Rather it stayed up day and night in the interaction with the Ummah for it to understand Islam as a way of life, that by obligation has to be applied in the Khilafah State, just as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did, until the obligation of Khilafah gains public awareness and becomes a demand of the masses that are no longer satisfied with a substitute. Then the idea of the establishment of the Khilafah will sweep the Ummah just as the idea of overthrowing Mubarak swept the street, that they overthrew him in 18 days! The Hizb, following the example of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, also calls upon the people of power in the military to convince them of this project and its obligation, so they may support it and stand by its side, instead of being a barrier that prevents the establishment.
The Hizb in its work relies on Allah alone! It has confidence in His سبحانه وتعالى promise to the Ummah of victory, security and empowerment.
3. We in Hizb ut Tahrir call on all Muslims who have realized the necessity of working to establish a Khilafah, including Sheikh Yasser Brahimi, to engage with us to achieve this great obligation, to receive the greatest reward from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and to be with those who Allah blessed from the Prophets, Believers and Martyrs and those who are in their best company.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
"You who have iman! Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when He calls you to what will bring you to life! Know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that you will be gathered to Him."

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Q&A: Shari' rule on songs, music, singing & instruments?

The following is a draft translation from the book مسائل فقهية مختارة (Selected fiqhi [jurprudential] issues) by the Mujtahid, Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud Abdul Latif al-Uweida (May Allah protect him) . Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
