Verily, Allah Most High gives rope to the oppressor so that when He seizes him, he does not get away

We call upon Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi and the Higher Military Council controlling Egypt to fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى and to remember that this life is short and each of us will taste death, after which we will stand in front of Allah سبحانه وتعالى to be judged on our good and bad deeds.

You have been given a golden opportunity by Allah سبحانه وتعالى near the end of your lives to become the new Ansar and give a pledge of allegiance (bayah) to a Khaleefah who will establish the Khilafah in Egypt as a launching point for unifying the entire Muslim world.

In Bukhari on the authority of Abu Musa the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Verily, Allah Most High gives rope to the oppressor so that when He seizes him, he does not get away.” The he صلى الله عليه وسلم recited:

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

“Such is the iron grip of your Lord when He seizes the cities which do wrong. His grip is painful, violent.” [Hud, 11:102]

Let the removal of Mubarak be a warning to all the tyrants and oppressors ruling the Muslim world today. Allah سبحانه وتعالى gave Mubarak a long life and allowed him to stay in power for 30 years accumulating masses of wealth. Yet Allah سبحانه وتعالى has power over all things and Mubarak will go down in history as a fallen dictator, whose people hated him and his name will become a synonym for oppression just as his predecessor Pharaoh (firawn) was.

فَالْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ آيَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ آيَاتِنَا لَغَافِلُونَ

“Today We will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs.” [Yunus, 10:92]

Hizb ut-Tahrir has been working for nearly 60 years to establish the Khilafah and has never deviated from its goal or compromised the Islamic method. Its members have proven they are ready to sacrifice their lives for this deen with thousands imprisoned and tortured across the Muslim world including Egypt. Its senior leadership are all well qualified for the post of Khaleefah fulfilling the seven contractual conditions of the bayah and many of the preferable conditions.

Hizb ut-Tahrir has a draft constitution for the Khilafah along with detailed books and thousands of research papers and articles on how to rule the Islamic state.

We call upon Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi and the Higher Military Council controlling Egypt to fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى and to remember that this life is short and each of us will taste death, after which we will stand in front of Allah سبحانه وتعالى to be judged on our good and bad deeds.

You have been given a golden opportunity by Allah سبحانه وتعالى near the end of your lives to become the new Ansar and give a pledge of allegiance (bayah) to a Khaleefah who will establish the Khilafah in Egypt as a launching point for unifying the entire Muslim world.

The reward for such a noble deed is Jannah as stated by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم at the second pledge of al-Aqaba. The Ansar asked: “But what is our reward if we observe all the items of this pact?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “Paradise is in store for you.”

We finish with a hadith for you to contemplate over.

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:By Allah, other than Whom there is no god, verily one of you behaves like the people of Paradise until there is but an arm’s length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Hell-fire and thus he enters it; and one of you behaves like the people of Hell-fire until there is but an arm’s length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it.” [Bukhari and Muslim]
