[لَبَّيْكَ ٱللَّٰهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ ٱلْحَمْدَ وَٱلنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَٱلْمُلْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ]
Oh Muslim Armies! Will Talbiya uttered during Hajj make you Respond to the Call of Allah and Start Marching to Liberate Gaza?

Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya would like to extend the warmest greetings on the blessed Eid ul-Adha to the Muslims in Kenya and the whole world in general. As we celebrate this blessed Eid, let’s remind ourselves the actions of the Prophet (saw) after his farewell pilgrimage; his appointment of appointed Usama ibn Zayd as the commander of an expeditionary force which was sent to Syria. As we conclude performing Hajj, the Muslim Army should follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw) marching to fight the murderous Jewish army in the occupied Gaza.

Indeed the Talbiya (Labaika Allahuma Labaik, labaika laa shareeka laka labaika...) should wake up the Muslim armies to cross over the artificial Sykes Picot boundaries to support the sons of the Gaza who have shaken the Jewish army. Oh you Muslims leaders: Some of you might have uttered these devotional words of prayer which means that the issue of Palestine like any other issue will be resolved by responding the call of Allah, i.e. Islam. Why are you then holding ‘urgent meetings’ of the UN Security Council or issuing empty rhetoric statements which is nothing than strengthening the hand of criminal occupation of the Blessed Land – Palestine, the land of Isra’ wal Mi’raj??

This Eid should remind Muslims the immense test for the Father of Faith Ibrahim (as) and his great willingness to sacrifice. We are indeed in the season of sacrifice; we must call to Islam as an alternative to the failed ideology of Capitalism hence the only solution to the world’s misery will bear a great result. We pray to Allah (swt) to accept our righteous deeds and guide us to next year’s Eid while we are under the shade of the Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate) upon the methodology of the Prophethood, that will unite all Muslim lands in the world under the flag of ‘Laa ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah’.
