On 14th August 1947, the country with the largest Muslim majority population at the time, Pakistan, was created in the name of Islam. In order to achieve this magnificent purpose hundreds of thousands of Muslims migrated, with huge numbers embracing martyrdom. The Muslims of the Indo-Pak subcontinent struggled for a separate homeland to look after their affairs by Islam, inspired by the state established by Muhammad ﷺ in Madinah. There is no doubt that the Muslims of the Indo-Pak subcontinent struggled for the creation of Pakistan just for the comprehensive implementation of Islam, so much so that the slogan “What is the meaning of Pakistan? It is that there is no God except Allah” is still extremely popular.
This day sixty-eight years have passed since the creation of Pakistan, but the Muslims of Pakistan are still waiting to see the fulfillment of the implementation of Islam. Allah سبحانه وتعالى granted this magnificently resourceful state, but the traitors in the political and military leadership never allowed the fulfillment of this dream. Due to the non-fulfillment of our promise with Allah سبحانه وتعالى, first the biggest Muslim country in world was split into two in 1971, with the separation of Bangladesh, and then even after becoming the world’s only Muslim nuclear power, with the seventh largest armed forces in the world, traitors formulate our internal and external policies according to American dictates. A country which Allah سبحانه وتعالى blessed with oil, gas, mineral, water, fertile soil and hardworking people, takes dictates from the Western colonialist institution, IMF to run its daily affairs. Sixty-eight years have passed, but more than half of Pakistan’s population is forced to live below the poverty line. Sixty-eight years have passed, but we have not been able to liberate Kashmir, our jugular vein, and save the Muslims of Kashmir from Hindu oppression. Sixty-eight years have passed, but still we have the same old political, economic and judicial orders left by the Kufaar colonialist British.
Today is a day to reaffirm our resolve to fulfill the promise made by our forefathers with Allah سبحانه وتعالى. So we must reject the man-made system of capitalism, which is implemented by democracy and dictatorship, and let us completely direct our focus to make Pakistan an Islamic state, according to the methodology of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ. Let us make Pakistan the starting point of fulfilling the glad tidings of Rasul Allah ﷺ when he ﷺ said,
«ثم تکون خلافة علی منهاج النبوۃ»
“then there will be a Khilafah on the method of Prophethood” (Ahmed).
Let us join the struggle of Hizb ut-Tahrir in order to get the blessings of Allah swt and the glad tidings of Rasul Allah ﷺ. Let us establish a Khilafah which will uproot the capitalist system, distribute wealth in the society so it will not circulate amongst the rich solely, erase borders created by colonialists in the Muslim World, from Indonesia to Morocco, and unify the entire Ummah under the flag of Rasul Allah ﷺ as one entity and liberate all occupied lands including Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan.
وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلأَرْضِ كَمَا ٱسْتَخْلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
“Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them”
