Hizb ut Tahrir is a political party whose ideology is Islam, so politics is its work and Islam is its ideology. It works within the Ummah and together with it to restore the Islamic way of life with the establishment of the second Righteous Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood, by the method that the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم followed when he cared for the affairs of the people by showing Islam’s solutions to life’s problems and replaced the rulers by intellectual and political struggle.

Hizb ut Tahrir has worked in most of the Islamic lands for the past 60 years, calling to Allah Almighty with honest words and encountering any justification with justification. It does not adopt material actions with the use of force and it does not have a military wing, and there has not been a single incident to prove otherwise. It has well known official media offices and official spokespersons that clearly convey its political ideas and opinions.

Therefore we are surprised that some accredit to us speech or fatwas outside the context of what we have clarified, which were perhaps said by individuals who do not follow the Hizb. The issue does not concern us, and the Hizb’s method in exposing the issues of the Ummah is known far and wide. From the day of its establishment the Hizb’s struggle has only been against the Disbelievers (Kuffar), and we have never criticized or defamed any Islamic Jihadist party or faction. In conclusion we say to those who made allegations against us: Do not forget the saying of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم:

«البَيِّنَةُ عَلَى المُدَّعِي، وَاليَمِينُ عَلَى المُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ»

“Proof is on the accuser, and an oath is on the accused.”
