The Sudan Website reported today, 31 January 2019, that the Chairman of the Committee on Religious Freedoms, Ambassador Omar Al-Siddiq, during his address to the opening session of the Workshop on Religious Freedoms held in Sudan emphasized the interest of the competent authorities in the recommendations of the workshop. He said that the article on indecent dress needs to be amended because those affected by it are women, describing it as a “scandal” and that it shows Sudan as a violator of rights. He stressed that the recommendations will be submitted to the Constitutional Committee and those concerned with amending the laws.

The timing and the date of this workshop coincide with the launch of the second phase of dialogue with America. The human rights file is one of the “five-track engagement +1” of the full normalization and the removal of Sudan’s name from the list of state sponsors of “terrorism”. In this regard, there are some questions: What is the nature and reality of amending an article related to women in Sudan? What gains do they seek to achieve by amending laws related to them and linked to their beliefs? How do two countries hold negotiations in an area with different respective terms of reference, and therefore legitimate rights are different in the eyes of any one side? And who should be referred to in setting right and wrong?

We in the Women’s Section of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan show the following to the Ummah:

The government, which is desperate to remain in power, and which the people of Sudan have discarded and demanded to overthrow it, this government is eager to draw the sympathy of America by negotiating and amending laws to conform to America’s liking, although it has not and will not achieve any benefit, and it will not remove Sudan’s name from America’s black list. Yet the government did not think of changing its way of concessions after concessions, and America has not and will not be satisfied with it as long as there is something to concede. But those who flock do not understand that Islam has forbidden concession to the Kuffar, and prohibited taking them as allies whatever the circumstances are and whatever the reality is, and no matter how much pressure on us and how much nations gather against us. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions went through greater pressure than what we are under, but they did not compromise and did not succumb; they did not accept the reality, rather, they changed the reality to what pleases the Lord of the Worlds.

O Subservient Rulers to America: We are aware that the West has its own culture, heritage, thought and values, and we have our own civilization, heritage, thought and values, which stem from our Aqeedah. And we are not obliged to walk behind the West so completely and literally and to enter the hole of a lizard if it enters! The laws and legislative systems of the West are based on its philosophy of life, so why do not you apply the law of the Lord of the Worlds and leave the intellectual begging by your compromising on the True law of Allah?

The Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate) state on the method of the Prophethood will hold accountable all those who implemented the schemes of the Kafir West, and punish those who allied with them, succumb to them and make compromises with them, Allah (swt) says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لاَ يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالاً وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتِّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَر

“O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.”

[Al-i-Imran:118]
