A Declaration in Support of the Rohingya Women and Children

Issued by Hizb ut Tahrir Women’s Seminar held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Sunday 7th July 2013 entitled: ‘One Year after the Massacres- Who will Save the Rohingya Women and Children?’

We, the undersigned, declare our support, commitment to and endorsement of the cause of our Rohingyan brethren, affirming that the Muslim Ummah is like one body as described by the noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and that the calamities and horrific crimes faced by our Rohingyan brethren is not acceptable to anyone who has an atom’s weight of humanity. Therefore, we the undersigned declare the following:

1. That as Muslim women, we should unite and not be divided by borders or distances, and that we should not allow the borders drawn by the Kaffir occupiers to separate us, or inhibit supporting and giving victory to each another.

2. The Muslims all over the world are brothers. Their blood is one, and they are one hand against others as maintained by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:

الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ وَيُرَدُّ عَلَى أَقْصَاهُمْ

“The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection.”

Thus, the sanctity of the blood spilled in the land of Palestine is the same as the sanctity of the blood spilled in Mali; it is also the same as the sanctity of the blood of our brethren in Syria, and the same as the sanctity of the blood of our Rohingyan brethren.

3. We affirm that we will exert our utmost efforts and harness all our energies for the sake of making the Muslims victorious, responding to the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى:

وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ

“But if they ask you for help in respect of the deen, it is your duty to help them”

(Al-Anfal, 8:72)

4. The Khilafah is the ultimate solution to what the Rohingyans and the rest of the Muslims worldwide are facing, for in its establishment lies the Pleasure of our Lord, the betterment of our situation, the defeat of our enemy, and the protection of our blood.

5. We pledge before Allah سبحانه وتعالى to work conscientiously and productively with Hizb ut Tahrir for the sake of establishing the Khilafah state, which will unite our lands and might in the East and the West, from Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, passing by the Cairo of Al-Mu’ezz, and reaching Tangier in the far West. It will unite all these lands under the banner of لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله. By this we will establish our glorious State, which will protect the women and children from the injustice of the oppressors and attacks of the aggressors.

والله على ما نقول شهيد وهو الموفق وعليه التكلان

Allah is indeed a witness over what we say, our success is from Him, and on Him do we rely.
