PHOTOS: Turkey Arrests 200 Hizb ut-Tahrir Activists

The state-run Anatolia news agency has reported that around 200 suspected members of Hizb ut-Tahrir have been arrested in Turkey. According to a Press TV Report Turkish Special Forces carried out the simultaneous raids across 23 provinces in the country. The raids come two days before Hizb ut-Tahrir's Turkey Khilafah conference that was scheduled to take place this Sunday.

We pray that Allah سبحانه وتعالى gives them sabr through this test. Indeed Allah سبحانه وتعالى tests those he loves. These arrests are in fact an act of desperation by the Turkish government and testament to the strength of Hizb ut-Tahrir and the growing call for Khilafah in Turkey. Erdogan and his government should know that these arrests will not stop or delay the victory of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the re-establishment of the Khilafah.

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

بدأ الإسلام غريبًا وسيعود غريبًا كما بدأ فطوبى للغرباء قالوا يا رسول الله ومن الغرباء؟ قال »
.« الذين يصلحون عند فساد الناس

"Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings to the strangers." It was asked, "Who are those strangers, O Messenger of Allah?" He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "Those that correct the sunnah when the people become corrupt."

Narrated by Sahl b. Sa'd as-Saa'idi in at-Tabaraani's al-Kabeer.

Do not worry my brothers those brothers of hizb-ut-tahrir are free but the generals pu into the jails in the same times are still in jails and they will stay a long time inside :) http://www.odatv.com/n.php?n=h...2901111200

Do not speak or blame someone without knowing the situation it is gonna divide us . The people in Turkey are waking up slowly slowly. You know that in Turkey we had muftafa kemal the dictator The sionist have created an hero in Turkey they are still a lot of people who follows the rules of ataturk so we have to go step by step. Even me some years ago I used to follow ataturk but I wake up . Erdogan and his real mentor Fethullah Gulen control now almost all the tv channels newpapers in Turkey, now we can see muslims programs on tv I know lot of people around me who woke up . They controled the police and now the hav ealmost controled the army Almost all the kemalist generals are in jail. Our brothers of hizb-ut-tahrir and all muslims brothers are happier now that in they were before Akp came. We know that in is not finished step by step Do not worry Turkey is in the good way. I almost know Erdogan personally he comes from my area in Istanbul and I can say I know his thought and his real program. Look in the 1960 in Turkey there was a guy called menderes he became president He wanted to change things but the army killed him. In 1990 a guy called Ozal became president He was breaking the laicism coming back to the muslim culture they killed him. Around 1995 Erbakan the mentor of Erdogan became president they pushed him away after a year of governance (ALL OF THEM WERE IN A HURRY, THEY WANTED TO GO TOO FAST AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS SUFFER A LOT AGAIN ) NOW WE ALMOST CONTROL ALL THE SYSTEM IN TURKEY we have to wake up some brothers who feel like a muslim but are still attached at ataturk . after a very few years even if they are still some people pro kemalist IT IS GONNA BE TOO LATE FOR THEM... BROTHER MUSLIM HAS TO BE PATIENT AND INTELLIGENT STEP BY STEP THE CASE OF TURKEY IS VERY PARTICULAR IF YOU ASK NOW IN TURKEY DEMOCRATY OR SHARIA THEY WILL DAY DEMOCRATY IF YOU ASK NOW FOR TURKEY OR KHILAFAH THEY WILL SAY TURKEY ... we have to be intelligent and be patient otherwise we will kill each other and lose a lot of energy for nothing.....

Today Turkey is begging europe to become part of the EU... yet its leaders and foolish Generals forget its past status as the leader of the world under the shade of the Ottoman Khilafah!!!

Edgorana! Gul !!..............just look at. Before 1924, your forefathers (different form yours) were the rulers of the world under the shade of khilafah....................The ummah rulled the world and guided it to the path of success and properity form the time of messanger sws. However, once your so called father of nation, the servent of kufr UK and French, the Attartuk destroyed the khilafah, your country lost international position. Your land has shrinked. Unfortunately even Grece and cyprus captured your land.............Your position went to the direction of failure, squezzed.

But the Hizb form 1953 has started its journey from a small neighbourhood in palestine...........the blessed land. Every single government be it gaddafi, be is saddam hossain, be it jamal abdul naser, be it king( of this world only) hossain, be it Fahad, be it Musharraf, be it mubarak, be it karimov...........from north to south and from east to west........even the kuffar, tried to eliminate Hizb in continuing its message.

But look at the result............the ummah embraced her call and shared the burden of her cause. Just 10 years back....we the youth of the ummah did thought, having a high paid salary was enough to be the vission of life, we knew about islam and beleived that, the return khilfah is not possible by ordinary people like us. Indeed this was the biggest sucess of the west. ...........But now this message (islam) is entering every single houses accrosss the world, be it islamic world and non islamic world. Imagine while your so called father of nations ( the gaddar of the ummah and the servents of the kufr west) was giving up their whole effort to destroy the Hizb, Allah protected it and her message. Just imagine how Bangladesh could hold a khilafah conference with 5 thousand people, how hizb in bangladesh could amass 20-25 thousands afflauent people in their events! You know hizb was not there even 10 years back. hizb was not in indonesia even 10-12 years back! Now the ummah in indonesia is gathering 100 thousands people. Just imagine hizb was not in pakistan 15 years back! Now the government is feraing that Allah will reward hizb with victory and leadership of khilafah in pakistan!! Just imagine Hizb was not there in uzbekistan, kazakistan, kirgistan, tukministan 15 years back, Now every single household is the household for hizb. Just imagine, hizb was not in usa 2-3 years back. Now hizb is gathering 700 intellecutals of the ummah in usa. Just imagine hizb was not in uk 20 years back. Now hizb is going to arragne thousands of people to hold khilafah conference. In deed prophet sws says ' the grinding wheel of islam is moving...........so move whereever it takes you"

The cia, kgb, mossad, raw, isi, scotland ward etc..............all these severs of the kufr, planned against hizb............but in their total failure...........and in sign of Allah's clear wisdom and help...........hizb has trancended the ummah's opinion..........througout the muslim and non-muslim world. How you see it O Engoran! O Gul!! the non-muslim is joining the hizb in the demonstration. they are testifying sahadah and perform waju and pray two rakah salah.............and just in 15 minutes..........they are demonstrating with hizb in the roads of dhaka............saying "Dhaka is raising ....khilafah is coming, taskand is raising..........khilafah is coming, kabul is raising.........khilafah is coming, islamabad is raising ..............khilafah is coming, beiruit is raising ........khilfah is coming, bagdad is raising........khilafah is coming, jakarta is raising............khilafah is coming, gaza is raising..........khilfah is raising..................and then Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.

O Edgoran, O Gul................let Allah give you hayat (lifespan) ...............to see and bear witness of the jutice to be served to you and to your allies. That has been due for past 80 years...............In the return of khilfah at the hand of the belivers............whom you have arrested for saying and making high of ' I bear witness..............that ..........there is no i'lah........except Allah, and Muhammad sws is the final messanger of Allah swt"

How glorious You are, How magistic You are, O the lord of the words! Indeed your plan is the one that prevails. Indeed your plan is the one that cast wonder to those who opposes Your deen. Indeed You are best in planning.

The other day while i was planning to go to the national khilafah conference, in dhaka. the government stopped the indoor program, However, He swt helped the workers of khilafah to have an outdoor program with five thousands people in the street and 10 thousands people observing it........... Indeed their plan have failed.

Just look at the way the authority of palestine has failed to stopped the call of khilafah. they have stooped a indoor program, however in the next friday the doom of the rock has seen thousands to join with hizb.

indeed the brothers who have been arrested for working for khilafah in turkey, will show us another plan of our Lord Allah swt to be revealed. We are waiting for that. O Allah! indeed You have shown us Your clear plan and sign of ummah's victory.

Edgoran, Gul..........what do you think of yourselves? Do you think that your plan will be successful against Allah's plan of "huallazi ar sala rasoolahu bilhuda wadinil Haq, liuz hirahu ala dinni kullihi walaow karihal moshriqin"? Indeed the hizb will achive it success by the mecery and wisdon of Allah swt. How dumb your government is! You helped those brothers to be part of Jannah while you prepaed youself for Jahannam? You are indeed abu Jaheel (father of ignorants).

The slave of capitalism , you failed to stop the revival of Ummah.The arresting shows ummah is awaking for resumption of reestablishment of Khilafah following methodology of Prophet Mohammad (SAW). The arrest of 200 members of Hizb ut Tahir challenge you Why you are following the system of Kufr ?Why you afraid for return of Khilafah?
Undoubtedly you have been exposed before the Ummah that your skin same as our skin but you are not part of Ummah, you have been helping kuffar in the land of last Khilafah that provided justice and peace to all humanity.
Indeed, these brothers have been selected by Allah SWT,Insallah they will be Sabir in eye of Allah.
Allah helps us in establishment of resumption of Islamic way of life.

The Turkish Republic, (once the seat of the Uthmaani Khilafah), has its share of internal divisions. Towards the end of the Ottoman State (1916 - 1918) and its eventual dissolution (1922 -1924), there were scenes of awful conflict between ancient Greek and Armenian communities against Turks or Kurds.

The Turkish War of Independence led by Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) who founded the Turkish Republic whilst abolishing the remnants of the Ottoman State. France, Britain, and Italy had carved zones of occupation over Turkey. Armenia was recognised as an independent state, and the Greeks sought to expands their territorial gains awarded at the Treaty of Sèvres. The Turkish War of Independence fought from 1919 – 1923 was one of many ethnic/nationalist conflicts spurred on by international competition after World War One. Similar conflicts were erupting pitching Poland against Russia, Japan against China, and struggles for independence in colonial territories.

Britain under Prime Minister David Lloyd George supported Greek aspirations and France had legions from Armenia and French Colonial Forces. Whilst the Turks fought to preserve their very existence and ultimately forced out foreign intervention, it came at the cost of losing the Caliphate. The conditions for foreign occupation to end and readjusted territorial changes more favourable to Turkey was tied into abolishing the Ottoman Millet.

During World War One there were guerrilla activities by Arab fighters against the Ottoman State mainly with support from Britain. In the present time, Kurds and Turks have been involved in bitter war across Eastern Anatolia and the border regions of what was once Iraq. Cyprus endured divisions between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. There are still many historical animosities, which is a legacy of successive Russo-Turkish wars (occasionally drawing in other major powers) waged in the Balkans and Caucasus region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs, and Russians, (with their strong identity towards the Orthodox Church) feel a strong affinity towards Constantinople which was once the Capital for the Orthodox Faith. Hence the Turkey’s Ottoman past still remains a contentious issue.

Arrested for what?
What is their crime for wanting to live under Islam?
"And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in ALLAH, Exalted in power. Worthy of all praise"
(Surah Al-Burooj, 8)
We are proud of the hizb ut-Tahrir members everywhere, especially in Turkey. They remind us of the Sahabah and their sacrifices for the Deen, they are live role-models for us and our children. May ALLAH let them see the fruits of their efforts soon with the re-establishment of the Khilafah.
I pray that the conference goes ahead and is a success even though Erdogan and Gul detest it.

We, the bearers of this call, must continue to follow the clear and unchangeable way (tariqah) of the Prophet - which in reality is the design of Allah - and we must continue to have the certainty in believing the effectiveness of such a way, without precipitating events and consequences. We must always remember that Allah’s will is freely-operative, and His design is absolutely fair and just. Allah (for whom belong Might and Majesty) is, as He says: “Performer of what He wills.” He does what He wants, when He wants, and how He wants.

Accordingly, Allah – High is He above - may will and decide for the true believers of Islam to triumph - in this life - over their enemies (kafirs and hypocrites); and, He may will and decide that faith should triumph over persecution, where hardships and adversities would only add firmness and certainty in their hearts and minds, when their enemies carry-out an onslaught against them to physically eliminate them from this short span of life. Similarly, Allah may will and decide to strike and eradicate the oppressive tyrants in this life, or to give them respite and delay their punishment to the next life. Whatever Allah wills is a part of His well-defined scheme and His ability to do what He wills - without any restriction - to accomplish a specific purpose.

However, in the course of this transitory life, we must always believe that victory is always on our side as long as we are true and certain believers. We must, also, continue to remember and keep it alive in our hearts and minds that our main objective of it all is - and should always be - the obtainment of Allah’s pleasure, nothing else and nothing less. Khilafah is coming, and victory is always ours!

	These arrests should put to rest any doubts people may have had that Erdogan, the friend of Israel, has some secret Islamic agenda for Turkey. He is a secularist through and through who is not implementing Islam. In fact he is worse than a secularist since he pretends to be Islamic in order to gain credibility and votes from the sincere Muslims.
