Did People, In these Dark Circumstances, Understand the Meaning of the Khilafah and How Much They Need It?
(Translated)

It has almost been a month since the outbreak of the war on Gaza, and Muslims are eager to fight, and they are in all parts of the earth looking right and left for whom to seek refuge. Sometimes Jordan, sometimes Egypt, thirdly Pakistan, fourthly and fifthly... Who will mobilize the armies for them to be soldiers in them, who will be a support behind them, and will not be deterred by the artificial borders in Muslim countries that prevent them from supporting Gaza.

If one, two, or three thousand fighters did what they did and achieved what they achieved, then one of the Muslim armies has the actual ability to crush the Jewish entity until Netanyahu and his companions forget the milk that their mothers fed them. Allah (swt) says:

﴿لَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِي قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَاء جُدُرٍ بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّى ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ﴾

“Even united, they would not ˹dare˺ fight against you except ˹from˺ within fortified strongholds or from behind walls. Their malice for each other is intense: you think they are united, yet their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people with no ˹real˺ understanding.” [Al-Hashr 59:14].

By Allah, this is one of the Muslim fronts, from which they should not leave behind, rather they should unite in it and fight, and fall martyrs in jihad against an enemy who usurped the journey of their Prophet (saw). They do not need the demonstrations and crowds that end up returning home safely!

The other group, Americans and Europeans, is working hard to quickly extinguish the flame of the fire of jihad that has been kindled, and to turn things around in a hurry, before the reins slip from their hands to the hands of the Muslims, because they know with certainty that any serious movement by the Muslims will lead them to join forces with the people of Palestine. It has no energy to confront it, and the Jewish entity will be crushed in front of its eyes, and will be thrown into a deep abyss. Therefore, the Kaffir (infidel) West is quick to hold conferences, repeated visits, false reassurances, and false promises to stand forever by the Jewish entity.

There is no doubt that people, in these circumstances that our people in the Blessed Land are going through, understood what it means to have a Khilafah (Caliphate) state where they seek refuge in it to protect their homes, and defend Islam, and to repel the plots of the aggressors against the Muslims’ borders, unite their torn countries, and raise the banner of Okab, so that the nuisances disappear from the sky.

They became unhesitant to work and align themselves with those working to establish the second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) state on the Method of the Prophethood as a matter of urgency, to save the land of Gaza, indeed all of Palestine, and the rest of the Muslim countries, which the enemies had oppressed in light of its absence for more than a century.

We urge Muslims to join the loyal workers to establish the Khilafah, to shake off the great sin from their shoulders, especially as they see the blood of their brothers in Gaza being shed in the streets, homes, and hospitals, with no supporter to support them from the criminal rulers or an army that disobeys orders, and wreck the Jewish fortresses! We in Hizb ut Tahrir are working with you and among you to establish this great obligation, the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) State, and Allah is the supporter of His faithful servants. Allah Almighty, who never breaks His promise, Has promised us in His saying:

﴿إِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَادُ﴾

“We certainly help Our messengers and the believers, ˹both˺ in this worldly life and on the Day the witnesses will stand forth ˹for testimony” [Ghafir 40:51]. And We gave good tidings from His Messenger (saw): «ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»“Then there will be Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood.”
