During a visit to Tirah Valley on 19 June, the first Friday of Ramadhan, General Raheel Sharif reviewed the military operations against the fighters in the tribal regions. He said the fight was in progress in the remaining few pockets, close to the Pakistan-Afghan border. The noose, he added, had been tightened. The Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement that Air Force planes pounded hideouts in different parts of Tirah Valley in the morning, killing at least 20 tribal fighters on the same day.

So, whilst American crusaders maintains its military presence in Afghanistan and their political dominance, Muslims are fighting Muslims. Whereas Islam mandates that the armed forces of the Muslims and the tribal fighters should move together against the crusaders and liberate Afghanistan. And this Fitna is occurring during Ramadhan, a month which witnessed great victories of Muslims against the Kuffar enemy. What adds more salt to the wounds of Muslims, is the apparent glee at this sad state of affairs in the Pentagon’s latest report to Congress, issued on 16 June 2015, accompanied by the usual demand for the Pakistan Army to do more. The 108 page report entitled, “Enhancing Security and Stability in Afghanistan,” confirmed that the tribal fighters remain a threat to the US forces and that the “the role of Pakistan remains critical to stability in Afghanistan.” So as Muslims kill Muslims, the crusaders reap the benefits.

Only the Khilafah will end the war of Fitna. The Khaleefah will gather the armed forces and tribal forces as an overwhelming liberating power against the crusaders, exposing the hypocrites and healing the hearts of the believers.

 

Due to Regime’s Negligence, Muslims Count Their Dead through Dehydration in Ramadhan

Another 309 people lost their lives in Sindh on Monday 22 June 2015 as the punishing heat wave baked the province amid prolonged outages and stacking up of bodies in morgues. Since Saturday evening, 445 people have perished across the province in the heat wave which shows no signs of abating, with most of the deaths in Karachi, home to 22 million. As Karachi continued to sizzle at 43 degree Celsius, almost every major hospital received heatstroke patients across the city and registered heavy casualties.

The intense heat is a test from Allah سبحانه وتعالى. However, Allah سبحانه وتعالى commanded the ruler to look after the affairs of the Muslims. Thus, in the time of the Khilafah, we find that the just rulers spared no effort to shelter the Muslims from intense weather, whether it is drought, hot weather, earthquakes or floods. However, in Pakistan, without fail, the first line of caring for the people are the Muslims themselves, whether through individuals or charitable organizations, which are overwhelmed, yet soldier on for the pleasure of Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

It was upon the government to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply so that the Muslims could use fans or air conditioners. Instead areas of Karachi spend most of the day without any electricity. It was upon the regime to ensure that there was clean water supply for the people, however, the water is contaminated, spreading disease, increasing the burden on those who are already ill. It was upon the regime to establish emergency public cooling centres in the larger civilian and military buildings, with adequate cooling, water and salts for rehydration of the frail, before they needed hospital facilities.

The Muslims long for the return of the Khilafah on the Methodology of the Prophethood. Then, the Muslims will see rulers who will exhaust themselves day and night to secure the Muslims from any harm, fearing that they will be accounted lest even an animal were to stumble on a track.

 

Blame Game Leads to Rise in Suicides through Poverty

During Ramadhan, a man reportedly committed suicide after killing his wife, two sons and a daughter in Model Town Lahore on 24 June. Basharat, 42, his wife Faiza, 39, sons Abdullah, 8, and Abdul Hadi, 6, and daughter Hiba, 5, were found shot dead in their house. Model Town’s Superintendent of Police Mustanser Feroz said an initial inquiry had shown that Basharat was under heavy debt. Basharat’s brother told reporters that the deceased owned some agriculture land and had suffered a loss. He said he learnt about the incident from a neighbour. Such poverty and hardship driven incidents are now widespread in Pakistan and are the result of the capitalist system that prevents people from securing their basic needs, as wealth is continually concentrated in the hands of the few.

As for the rulers, they are pointing fingers everywhere but at the real cause. As for the traitors in the political leadership, they blame previous civilian governments. So Nawaz blames Zardari and Zardari blamed Musharraf. As for the traitors in the military leadership, they blame the previous army chiefs. So Raheel blames Kayani and Kayani blamed Musharraf. This allows the cycle of destruction to continue.

In reality they are all to blame. It is the traitors in the political leadership that rule by Democracy and ensure capitalism is implemented. It is the traitors in the military leadership that use our armed forces to support Democracy, the cause of the people’s misery. It is high time that the sincere in the armed forces gave Nussrah for the return of the Khilafah to Pakistan. Then again, we will have rulers that will mobilize the abundant resources of the Ummah to provide relief for those in intense despair.

 

The Khilafah will Ensure Afghanistan and Pakistan are Unified under One Flag

Yet again there is friction between the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan, after an attack on the Afghan Parliament and an statement issued by Afghan intelligence agency NDS alleging ISI link in the attack on parliament on 22 June. At Pakistan’s Foreign Office briefing on 26 June, the spokesman Khalilullah Qazi said, “We reject these allegations. Such allegations have been levelled against ISI and its officials in the past as well. Pakistan is a well-wisher of Afghanistan… One of the principles of our relations with Afghanistan is that we will not allow our soil to be used against each other.”  The only beneficiary of such friction are the US crusader forces that maintain military presence and are an essential support for American political influence in the region. Whilst the Muslims are painfully aware of the colonialist divide and rule policy, they have yet to see unity in a practical form.

The soon to arrive Khilafah, inshaaAllah will regard the current Muslim states as the subject of unification, for the Khilafah is a single state for all Muslims and the Ummah must hold the Khaleefah for Islam’s implementation. As Hizb ut-Tahrir has adopted in its “Introduction to the Constitution,” Article 181, “Politics is taking care of the affairs of the Ummah domestically and internationally. It is performed by the State and the Ummah. The State takes on this task practically through government, and the Ummah accounts the State upon it.” In Article 189, Clause 1, it has adopted, “The existing states in the Islamic world are considered to be part of one land and therefore they are not included within the sphere of foreign affairs. Relations with these countries are not considered to be in the realm of foreign policy and it is obligatory to work to unify all these countries into one state.”
