During his recent tour of Syria, Engineer Hisham Al-Baba, head of the Media Office of Hizb-ut Tahrir, Wilaya Syria, met with revolution activists in several regions. He also met with members of Hizb-ut Tahrir and supporters of the establishment of Khilafah and the return of the Islamic State after the imminent overthrowing of the tyrant of Al-Sham, insha’Allah.
He delivered a speech at the mosque of ‘Ansaar ur-Rasool’ (the supporters of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) in I’zaaz. He greeted the audience, welcomed their meeting and thanked them for their good reception in the pure land of Al-Sham, the land of courage and valour. He applauded the bravery of the people rebelling in Al-Sham. He also conveyed to them the greetings of the venerable scholar, ‘Ataa Abu Rashtah, Ameer of Hizb-ut Tahrir, May Allah protect him. He spoke after that about the activities of Hizb-ut Tahrir at home and abroad in support of the Syrian revolution. He prayed that Allah crowns the enormous sacrifices and pure blood of the martyrs that have watered the soil of Al-Sham with a second rightly guided Khilafah on the model of Prophethood, insha’Allah. He stressed that what is happening in Syria is a frantic struggle between Truth and Falsehood, at a time when the West and the East have plotted against the revolution of Syria for fear of its Islamic patronage that proceeds steadily towards the Islamic Khilafah State. He explained the conspiracy of the media against the Syrian revolution because of this trend. He pointed out that the rebelling people of Al-Sham will not be content simply with the liberation of Syria from the ruling of the tyrant and the rules of disbelief (kufr); rather Palestine would be their next destination, insha’Allah. They will not be satisfied with less than its liberation and its return as an Islamic Wilaya as it was before. This would return the land of Al-Sham to one state, and as a part of the coming Khilafah State, insha’Allah, which will be the leading state in the world within a decade. He also pointed to the roadmap issued by Hizb-ut Tahrir, Wilayah of Syria, on 28th Ramadan 1433 AH to bring about the change in Syria that leads to the Khilafah State, titled: “The manifesto of the Hizb-ut Tahrir about the revolution of Al-Sham: Towards the birth of a second rightly guided Khilafah.”
Hisham Al-Baba also delivered in the following days a lecture entitled: “The revolution of Al-Sham: Sacrifices and challenges, legendry patience and an international conspiracy – the last of which is Lakhdar Brahimi”, in the area of Soran in Aleppo countryside, where the lecture received wonderful positive echoes, and a good interaction from the audience. It was interspersed with aware questions from the youth, yearning for the rule of Islam. The lecture was followed by the distribution of the draft Constitution of the Khilafah State and the statement about the conspiracy of Lakhdar Brahimi among the audience who commended this lecture and demanded repeat and more frequent visits.
Hisham Al-Baba pointed out in the lecture the huge sacrifices the Syrian people made. He said that it would be forbidden – after these sacrifices, the blood of the martyrs, the devastated economy, the suffering of the children, the groans of the bereaved, tens of thousands of detainees and hundreds of thousands of tortured and displaced all over the world. Yes, it would be haram after all of that for the people to accept a superficial change of face, after more than fifty thousand martyrs. It would be haram after all of this for people to accept less than the Islamic State that revenges from every one that fought against Allah and hurt His loyal servants. He pointed also to the gravity of the internal and external challenges facing our proud rebelling people, of international and regional conspiracy, and the frantic attempts to circumvent the revolution and promoting agents of the kind of the regime to dominate the people after the transitional phase and the political solution that they promote.
In conclusion he addressed our rebelling people on the land of Al-Sham saying: “Be steadfast and vie in steadfastness; for indeed victory is only the patience of an hour. For the sake of supporting this deen you are paying the tax of struggle on behalf of the whole Ummah. We encourage you and invite you to take a lesson from the previous revolutions, so that you do not fall in the trap of a civil secular state as they did. Beware of the deception of the West and its local tools. We invite you to combine your efforts with ours to overthrow the tyrant of Al-Sham so that we enjoy Allah’s victory. Our appointment is near in Damascus in the Umayyad Mosque, insha’Allah, to give a pledge of allegiance (baya) to the Imam who will govern us with the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, and indeed that is not a great matter for Allah.”
The joy was enormous during the tour and these meetings. Many saw in them good signs of victory looming in the land of Al-Sham. Hisham Al-Baba promised a repeat tour and said: “Our Media Office does not see itself in Damascus only, but rather in all parts of the land of the blessed Syrian revolution. You, heroes have taught the whole Ummah the alphabet of revolutions and the challenging of the Taghoot. If we leave you and go back to Damascus it would be in hope of waiting for the zero hour, the time of the declaration of the Khilafah, where you will hear the scream of Allahu Akbar with the appeal: “extend your hand to give you the baya on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger”. Thus, the free people of Al-Sham would then step with their feet on the era of oppressive ruling (hukm jabri), and declare the start of the era of the rightly guided Khilafah on the model of prophethood), where the cries of Allahu Akbar would then reverberate among the people.
O Allah, bless the people of Al-Sham with victory and consolidation, O Lord of the Worlds. Our last prayer is celebrating the great pleasure to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
