Open Communique to the Leaders of Bangladesh

Peace be upon those who follow Guidance.

Horrible crimes of murder, arson, rape, and displacement are being committed against our brothers and sisters in Myanmar. This is happening whilst the world remains silent. Our brothers and sisters are killed in plain sight right before our governments and armies without any support or rescue.

Their plight is the same as those in Palestine, Syria, Chechnya, Afghanistan, East Turkmenistan, Pattani, and other Muslim lands which are occupied. However, what intensifies this tragedy, making the heart bleed, is Bangladesh’s actions by banishing Myanmar Muslims and refusing to accept them. Throwing them into the sea to perish by drowning or risk being killed by the Kaffir Buddhists without any mercy or compassion. Thus the government of Sheikha Hasina, as an accomplice with the murdering Buddhists in their heinous crimes, proves it lacks even basic Islamic sentiments.

Oh Brothers in Bangladesh from the Sincere Generals and Leaders!

Allah سبحانه وتعالى made it an obligation upon you to initiate the support for your Muslim brothers and sisters in Myanmar since you are the nearest to them. Even though your agent-government is conspiring with the West against them this does not exclude you from your duty to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Believers. Allah سبحانه وتعالى commanded:

وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ

“And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help.” [al-Anfal, 8:72]

This can only be achieved when the Bangladesh Army is ordered to support the Muslims in Myanmar against the Buddhist oppressive system. Otherwise your silence towards the government’s actions will bring you shame in this world and also in the Hereafter.

We address this letter from the land of Ash-Sham, where we are also afflicted like yourselves. The root of this misery is the absence of a Khaleefah leading the Muslims using the Book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the Sunnah of our Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, raising the nanner of Jihad to spread this Deen, bringing victory to the oppressed and establishing justice throughout the world. We call upon you to answer the call to establish the Khilafah following the method of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, as this is the only way to achieve victory for the weak and oppressed throughout the world

اسْتَجِيبُوا لِرَبِّكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ مَلْجَإٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ نَكِيرٍ

“Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. No refuge will you have that day, nor for you will there be any denial.” [Ash-Shura, 42:47]
