The outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa that has killed over 10,000 people so far has only become an issue of concern since reports of individuals from the West have become infected with the disease. Even then the response by the international community has been far from optimum with UN officials reporting that a $1 billion appeal to fight Ebola has only been 25% funded [1]. Stephen Hall, a CEO of a pharmaceutical company explains why, “Traditional investors have not been enthusiastic about funding the development of a vaccine that, until now, has been a third-world problem,” He adds, “Even now that Ebola has entered other countries, the traditional investor has still not shown much interest. They are just driven too much by economic considerations. [2]” The neglect of research due the lack of financial incentives into the Ebola virus for almost 40 years is indicative of the priorities of the pharmaceutical industry, placing profits before ethics.

The Daily Nation on Tuesday reported that Kenya’s Chief Kadhi Muhdhar Ahmed Hussien has directed Muslims to hold Idul-Adha prayers on Sunday. In a statement issued on 29th Sept, 2014, said his announcement followed sighting of the moon to mark the start of Dhul Hijjah last Friday. “Therefore the Idul-adha will fall on Sunday, October 5, equivalent to 10th Dhul Hijjah Hijra” read the statement. However some Muslims have expressed their dismay over the Chief Kadhi’s announcement and vowed to defy it on the grounds that the annual event out to fall on Saturday, a day after millions of pilgrims performing the Hajj in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia perform Arafa rituals. Some scholars argued that Muslims who are not performing the Hajj should observe Idul-Adha a day after pilgrims converge at Mt. Arafa for the rituals.

Ninety-three years passed since the colonialists Kaffir destroyed the Khilafah state in Istanbul at the hands of the British agent Mustafa Kamal on the 28th of Rajab 1342 AH corresponding to 3rd of March 1924 CE. Since then, Muslims have been living without an Imam that unites them under his banner, and without someone to look after their affairs, and without a protector of their wealth, and without a defender of what they hold sacred and without a guard of their sanctities, and without someone to punish those who slander the best of creation, the noble Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. By the destruction of the Khilafah, the post of the Imam whom we fight from behind and are shielded by from the Kaffir’s aggression on us is vacant.

Two U.S. Senators, Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia), wrote an article in the Washington Post on the 11th April entitled, “Why the Senate report on the CIA’s interrogation program should be made public”. Sen. Dianne Feinstein chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that issued the report, which, she said previously, “exposes brutality that stands in stark contrast to our values as a nation. It chronicles a stain on our history that must never again be allowed to happen.”

The Islamic Ummah lives in suffering from East to West, and in some places living under occupation and in other places living through war, and in other places living under corruption, and in other places subject to plunder… all are under injustice, oppression and suffering. But the Islamic Ummah is the best Ummah sent for mankind in its correct Aqeedah and comprehensive system of life, and its strategic position, and immense wealth, and its tremendous human potential. The Islamic Aqeedah is the only correct Aqeedah because of its being based on conclusive evidence and convinces the mind, so the heart is reassured by it, and it agrees with human nature.

Far and wide, the country is witnessing a severe crisis in bread and fuel, including gas, petrol and gasoline these days. Queues have stretched out in front of bakeries, and cars in front of gas stations, amidst grumbling from the citizens. These crises remain periodically recurrent from one time to the next.

A few days ago a group of advocates for federalism in eastern Libya announced what they called “The government of Cyrenaica territory”, containing the names of 24 people to assume ministerial posts. The announcement also contained the division of the territory into four provinces: Ajdabiya, Benghazi, Jabal al-Akhdar, and Tubruq.

This is the third time this group has announced and insisted on this kind of project.

We are surprised by the insistence on this project, and strongly denounce this in a land that is originally unified, and in an area where a vast majority of the people are against the division and fragmentation of their land.

The Almesryoon Today Newspaper published on Thursday, 11/21/2013, the first draft of the fifty- member Constitutional Amendment Committee. Although there were adjustments made to most of its articles, this amended Constitution does not differ much from the previous Constitution and the former one, in being all constitutions of Kufr developed for Kufr system, contrary to the ruling system of Islam. Sovereignty in the Kufr system does not belong to the divine law (Shariah). Rather it belongs to the people, who have the right to legislate; that is the right to forbid the halal and permit the haram, and to issue judgments of pretty (hassan) and ugly (qubh) on things and actions.

On Monday 09/16/2013, several newspapers and websites circulated the answer to a question posed to Sheikh Yasser Brahimi on his homepage “Sawt as-Salaf” around the obligation to participate in groups that work to establish the Khilafah and call for Jihad. The Sheikh replied with the following: “Further; cooperation in righteousness and piety is an obligation. The obligation of engaging in it does not just arise for the sake of the announcement of people they want to establish the Khilafah or jihad or accountability or other lost obligations. Rather the methodology, the work and the means must be correct, in addition to the correct aim and purpose. Many of those who claim to have good intentions directed towards the right purpose are not so!”

This republican system is a secular democratic system and even if it has been cloaked with the clothing of Islaam or dressed with the terminology of ‘Islamic reference’ as is being marketed today in an attempt to hide its real ugly face. This is in addition to this being the very same system that has caused you to suffer woes for more than fifty years and indeed everyone who has lived in the Islamic lands have felt these woes in terms of humiliation, weakness and subservience to the disbelieving west via their agents, the heads of state of these republican systems.

The idea of establishing an Islamic Emirate poses a challenge to the Islamic project or movement and the establishment of the Khilafah.

Some may find this statement strange despite it being the true reality and that is that the idea of an Islamic Emirate as understood by the Jihaadi Salafi movement poses a danger within the Islamic project.

The Islamic Emirate does not have a Shar’i basis and it is a counter-productive idea politically and this has been confirmed in the examples in which this idea has been represented.

Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan has issued a Publicized Policy Position (PPP) regarding looking after the affairs of the people. It outlines how democracy is far from a system for the people, as it is claimed. Democracy does not even look after the majority of the people. Democracy is in fact designed to secure the interests of the few elite. It further shows how in the Khilafah, because Allah سبحانه وتعالى alone is Sovereign, no human-being, ruler or otherwise, can usurp the rights of others and then make a law to legalize their oppression.
