Having declared war on the work to establish the Khilafah, Kayani and his thugs from amongst the military and political leadership, have now “graduated” in filthy tactics from persecuting the shebaab of Hizb ut-Tahrir to persecuting their elderly and infirm fathers. At the bail hearing of a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir who was arrested during distribution in Peshawar, the police promptly detained his father for being the owner of the car that the member used to reach the mosque for distribution. And since 29th March, when government thugs attacked a Hizb ut-Tahrir weekly Dars in the Model Town area of Lahore, the elderly owner of the house remains in prison for allowing his house to be used for the study of Islam.

RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

البركة في أكابركم

“The blessing is in your elders”

Even in the heat of warfare, the great Muslim armies of the Khilafah were ordered to avoid any confrontation with the elderly of the kuffar. So how is it that the white haired Muslim fathers of the noble dawa carriers are being treated in such a manner? Indeed, the regime in Pakistan is far removed from the cause, the call and the values that define this Ummah. In its wholesale embrace of the Western civilization that abandons its elders, afflicted with an epidemic of physical abuse of the elderly, Kayani’s regime has no redlines in its persecution. Moreover, the current traitor rulers throughout the Muslim Lands, despite collectively possessing the largest armed forces of any nation, over three million, do not lift a finger to secure the elderly, youth, women, purified corpses of the martyrs, Quran and sanctity of the Prophethood from violation at the hands of the crusader marauders. So how, we ask, is this small band of hijackers who exploit the Ummah’s actual muscles for the service of the kuffar, deserving of the loyalty of even the most-lowly ranked officer, let alone a respected commander with thousands of troops at his command?

It is time for the sincere in the armed forces to come forward and grant the Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah, to restore the dignity and prestige of the Ummah, its armed forces and the deen of Islam. It is time for the Saad رضي الله عنه of today, who granted RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم the Nussrah for the Islamic state, to step forwards and turn the tide of the battle in favor of the Muslims. Hizb ut-Tahrir reminds you that RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم conveyed to the elderly mother of Saad at the loss of her cherished son that,

ليرقأ (لينقطع) دمعك، ويذهب حزنك، فإن ابنك أول من ضحك الله له واهتز له العرش

“Your tears would recede and your sorrow be lessened if you know that your son is the first person for whom Allah smiled and His Throne trembled.” [At-Tabarani]

So who of you, dear officers, is willing to be Saad?
