Raheel-Nawaz Regime Seeks to Silence the Words of Truth Seizure of Members of Hizb ut Tahrir will not Prevent the Return of Khilafah to Pakistan

Today, Friday around 10 a.m., the thugs of the Raheel-Nawaz regime lurked like thieves outside the Karachi home of member of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan, Dr. Ismael Sheikh, and seized him. Then, without caring for the honor and property of the Muslim, these lowly thugs shot the gate open and took Dr. Ismael's car and entered the house, occupied by Dr. Ismael's terrified wife and small children, and snatched all matter of personal property.

Dr. Ismael Sheikh, resident of Gulistan-e-Johar, is a renowned, highly qualified dental surgeon and active advocate for the Khilafah "Caliphate". Dr. Ismael Sheikh, as a devoted servant of Allah (swt), diligently followed the footsteps of RasulAllah (saw) in order to bring the Ummah out of its present humiliation and to raise high the banner of Islam. Yet, whilst traitors in the political and military leadership have given full liberty to the Raymond Davis network to bomb military and civilian places across the country, they spare no effort and descend to the lowest of levels, to prevent respected Muslims striving in political and intellectual struggle in order to establish Khilafah "Caliphate" in Pakistan.

We ask, how is it that the kafir Raymond Davis's who work to undermine the security of Pakistan day and night are given free hands, whereas those Muslims who are working to abolish the American Raj and establish Islam, are seized? We ask: how is it acceptable that the property of the Raymond Davis terrorists is so sanctified by the regime that no Pakistani official is allowed to open the sealed containers within which it arrives, whereas the property of an advocate for Khilafah "Caliphate" can be seized at whim and will, after his house is violated? And this is in a Muslim Land in whose history millions of Muslims laid down their lives willingly for the sake of establishing a state in the name of Islam, and where now the call for the Khilafah "Caliphate" is supported throughout the country, at all levels.

Hizb ut Tahrir reminds the traitors in the political and military leadership that brutal rulers like Saddam and Gadhafi used force to prevent Hizb ut Tahrir from its political and intellectual struggle but could not succeed, before they were seized from where they did not expect, and there are others today who are awaiting their black fate. And at a time the Khilafah "Caliphate" is about to return, inshaaAllah, the wise will desist from obstructing the work, for it only invites the wrath of the Ummah and above all the wrath of Allah سئبحانہ و تعالٰی.

[وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ ط مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ ۖ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءٌ]

"Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the Zalimun (oppressors) do, but He gives them respite up to a Day when the eyes will stare in horror. (They will be) hastening forward with necks outstretched, their heads raised up (towards the sky), their gaze returning not towards them and their hearts empty (from thinking because of extreme fear)". [Ibrahim: 42-43]
