00:00Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh and welcome to Hizb al-Tahrir's English podcast.
00:06Press release.
00:08On the 105th anniversary of the demolition of the Khilafah, the Earth is preparing for its return.
00:14Translated.
00:15A person may think, while observing the latest developments at the global level and in Islamic lands,
00:21that the reality is becoming increasingly bleak and dark for the Islamic Ummah,
00:25and that hope for its revival and the restoration of its honor is fading or diminishing.
00:31However, contemplation of these developments shows that they reveal a hope that is renewed and deepening
00:37and an approach toward revival day after day.
00:42Despite the fact that the campaigns of the West and the Kufur disbelief against Islam and the Muslims continue one after another
00:49as the colonizers have bared their fangs and lined up as one hand against the Muslims in several places around the world,
00:57the Ummah, although deprived of the political system and the Imam who leads it,
01:03meaning the Khilafah, Caliphate State, and the Khalifa, Caliph,
01:07has nevertheless stood in solidarity with itself and confronted these campaigns with increased steadfastness
01:15and challenge that has incapacitated the disbelieving colonial West to the extent that at several moments
01:22it nearly developed into overthrowing its colonial dreams in the Ummah's lands.
01:28Indeed, this steadfastness of the Ummah has accumulated a feeling among the entire West
01:34that is impervious to losing its identity or melting into Western civilization.
01:39The West has realized that secular life and colonial conditions in the land of the Muslims
01:45can only continue through repression and coercion.
01:48Then the Ummah soon revolts here and there and attempts to shake off these unnatural conditions.
01:54The West then tightens its grip more and more to the point that it resorts to mobilizing its agents
02:00and tools to bombard its cities with bombs and barrel bombs
02:04and to unleash death squads to kill its weakest, children and women, before its men.
02:11We have thus come to be able to say that the disbelieving colonial West is
02:17quote-unquote bombing public opinion in the lands of the Muslims.
02:21This accumulated steadfastness and the continued uprisings of the Islamic Ummah
02:26has generated a general feeling of despair within the West
02:30to the extent that its thinkers and media figures have been compelled to engage in hearsay
02:36regarding their own principles and to overturn their claims of freedom.
02:41They have nearly singled out Muslims among all people by calling for depriving them
02:46of expressing their political opinions or even openly practicing their chaste Islamic way of life.
02:52The voices of Westerners calling for the expulsion of Muslims from the entire West has risen
02:58and for criminalizing even objection to the massacres committed against Muslims in their lands.
03:05From this general feeling of despair in the West towards the Islamic Ummah
03:09arose feelings of suspicion and anxieties of political futility.
03:14Thus, the West began to doubt its country's foreign policies
03:17and to view presence in Muslim lands as political futility that brings harm and no benefit.
03:22From the womb of these anxieties were born calls for inward retreat
03:27such as quote-unquote America first and quote-unquote make America great again
03:32in addition to amending laws so that asylum and immigration institutions
03:36which had aimed to attract what is called human capital
03:40were transformed into something resembling political police forces
03:43that persecute every foreigner and shut doors in the faces of people.
03:47This expresses a sense of civilizational failure
03:51meaning that the West no longer considers itself a civilizational crucible
03:56capable of melting peoples into its civilization
03:59rather it now seeks to isolate its civilization from the rest of the world.
04:04All of this has come about due to the steadfastness of the Islamic Ummah
04:09in holding fast to its civilization and identity
04:12and demanding the restoration of its authority.
04:15Thus, and merely as an indication that the entire world
04:19has despaired of depriving the Islamic Ummah from its insistence
04:23on returning to its Islamic way of life
04:26we say that on the 105th anniversary of the demolition of the Khilafah
04:31the earth is preparing for its return.
04:34As for what the Ummah itself must realize
04:36it is that establishing the Khilafah, Caliphate, today
04:40is nothing more than a decision taken by the people of strength and protection within it
04:45its armies
04:46and it would be realized within ours
04:49yes, ours
04:51for all its sons yearn for the borders between them to be opened
04:55for their lands to return as one abode
04:58for their youthful capabilities to unite under one banner
05:01so that they may confront their enemy
05:03restore their sanctities
05:04and extract their resources
05:06nothing prevents them from this except
05:09calls of weakness and incapacity
05:11which are nothing but illusions, lies, and fabricated myths
05:16the simplest response to these illusions, lies, and myths
05:19is that the Islamic Ummah is bold, swift, and united in purpose
05:24when it realizes that it is capable of achieving a matter
05:28it accomplishes it in the blink of an eye
05:32we have seen it ambush the most tyrannical oppressors
05:35and the most brutal regimes
05:37and render them as traces after ruin
05:39while it had been promoted that their rule
05:41was firmly established and could not be shaken by anyone
05:44thus, the pitch darkness that envelops the lands of the Muslims today
05:49conceals behind it a great hope and a near relief
05:52by Allah's permission
05:54this is the sunnah of Allah in His creation
05:57as affirmed by His saying
05:59If a wound has touched you
06:22there has already touched the oppressing people
06:24a wound similar to it
06:26and these days, of varying conditions
06:29we alternate among the people
06:31so that Allah may make evident
06:33those who believe
06:34and may take to Himself
06:36from among you martyrs
06:38and Allah does not like the wrongdoers
06:40Surah Al-Imran, Ayah 140
06:42Accordingly, we commemorate
06:45the 105th anniversary of the demolition of the Khilafah
06:48not to lament our condition
06:50or weep over our calamity
06:52but to remind the Islamic Ummah
06:54of a glorious past
06:56that is time for it to renew
06:58and a lost honor
06:59whose recovery has become due
07:01Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
07:04And we wanted to confer
07:18favor upon those
07:20who were oppressed in the land
07:21and make them leaders
07:22and make them inheritors
07:24Surah Al-Qasas, Ayah 5
07:27For our part
07:28in the Central Media Office of Hizb Al-Tahreer
07:30we will cover the activities
07:32that the party will organize
07:34across the world
07:35to commemorate this anniversary
07:36hoping that Allah
07:38will make it the last time
07:39it returns to us
07:41without a Khilaf al-Rashida
07:43rightly guided caliphate
07:45upon the method of the prophethood
07:46It is an open invitation
07:48to everyone who listens attentively
07:50while being present in heart
07:52to join hands with us
07:53so that we may rebuild
07:54the edifice of Islam anew
07:56and restore it
07:57as a Khilaf al-Rashida
07:59that pleases the inhabitants
08:01of the heavens
08:01and the inhabitants
08:02of the earth
08:03And Jadir Salahuddin Adada
