Congratulations on Eid al-Fitr from Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Egypt

(Translated)

Praise be to Allah, who has granted us two Eids in Islam: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. He (swt) has honoured us by making joy in them an act of worship that brings us closer to Him. Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, the leader and teacher of the Ummah, and upon his family and companions and those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Judgment.

To our people in Egypt (Kinanah), to our people in the blessed land of Palestine, to the patient mujahideen, and to the entire Muslim Ummah in every corner of the world, it is our pleasure in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayat of Egypt to congratulate you on the blessed Eid al-Fitr. May you have a blessed Eid, and may Allah accept from you and us our acts of worship. We ask Allah to bring it back to us with the blessed land liberated, the Jews eliminated, and our Ummah restored to its glory and honour under the banner of Islam, the banner of the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood.

O Ummah of Islam: How can we rejoice while our people in Gaza are being slaughtered and besieged? How can we be happy while they are being displaced and exiled, while the usurping Jewish entity is spreading corruption on the land under the protection of tyrants?! This Eid comes while Muslims in the Blessed Land are caught in bloodshed and wounds, amidst the demolition of homes and starvation, amidst an unjust siege and the betrayal of conspiring rulers who protect Jews instead of removing the borders and mobilizing armies to support the people of Gaza and liberate all of Palestine.

Do not the steadfast (guarding the land) and patient people of Gaza deserve a true Eid, a Eid of victory and liberation?! Doesn't Al-Aqsa Mosque deserve to be free, cleansed from the desecration of the Jews? Doesn't Egypt deserve to be ruled by Islam and sheltered by its banner and justice? Do not all Muslims deserve to live under the rule of Islam, honoured and generous, as they did during the time of the Khilafah (Caliphate)?

O People of Egypt in particular and the entire Muslim Ummah in general: Your true Eid is the day the Khilafah is restored, the day the Muslim armies rise to liberate all of Palestine, the day sovereignty is restored to Allah's law, oppression is lifted from the oppressed, and the land is purified from the filth of tyrants and colonialists.

O sincere ones in the army of Egypt and all the armies of the Ummah: How can you accept having Eids while the people of Gaza are being annihilated and Al-Aqsa Mosque is being desecrated, while you possess the power and weapons? Allah has commanded you to wage jihad in His cause, made defending Muslims your duty, and made the liberation of Palestine a trust upon your necks. So how can you accept being guards of the borders instead of leaders of liberation?!

O People of Egypt and O Ummah of Islam: Let not your Eid be like the Eid of your traitorous rulers, who congratulate you with hollow phrases while befriending your enemies, guarding the Jewish entity, besieging Gaza, supporting its enemy and your enemy, and preventing you from jihad. Make your Eid a victory for your Deen, a cry in the face of the oppressors, a call to implement Allah's law, and an effort to establish the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) that will lead you to victory and liberation. Our true Eid will be the day the armies mobilize, the blessed land is purified, and the voice of "Allahu Akbar" rises in the liberated Al-Aqsa Mosque. Our Eid will be the day we establish the Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood. So, we return to our former glory of being the best Ummah brought forth for humankind.

O Allah, make this Eid the beginning of victory and empowerment. O Allah, lift the suffering from our people in Gaza. O Allah, hasten the destruction of the Jews and those who support them, and establish for us the Islamic state that rules by Your Shariah and leads the Ummah to liberate its sanctities.

To the people of Egypt (Kinanah) and the entire Ummah: May you be well every year that passes, and may you be the good every year. Eid Mubarak, and may your Ummah be victorious, Allah willing, and this is easy for Allah to accomplish.
