بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
O people of Nusrah! Pledge your allegiance to Hizb ut-Tahrir so as to establish the Khilafah and banish America and her agents from Pakistan.
This Ramadan the American crusader embarked on a brutal campaign that left hundreds of Muslims dead and thousands homeless in Pakistan’s tribal belt. Until now the American crusader has launched no less than fifteen attacks, firing its “Hellfire” missiles against unarmed men, women and children.
On 3 September, the American Special Forces conducted ground raids in Wana, and slaughtered innocent civilians in full knowledge of the Pakistani military. Rather than repulse the American attacks, the Pakistani civilian and military leadership surrendered Pakistan’s sovereignty, reneged on their ceasefire commitment, and commenced fresh operations in Swat with renewed zeal, not witnessed before.
Sensing uneasiness about the Pakistani leadership’s ability to quell public and military unrest, America swiftly released $365 million from the Coalition Support Fund to keep the tongue of the agent rulers muzzled and to ensure that 120,000 Pakistani soldiers stationed in FATA do not interfere with US operations.
America then brushed aside Pakistan’s feeble protests, pressed ahead with her pitiless onslaught and struck Waziristan on the eve of Zardari’s presidential inauguration.
On 9 September, the disgraced Zardari took the presidential oath in front of Hamid Karzai-America’s faithful servant and Pakistan’s arch enemy. Karzai’s participation clearly demonstrates that Zardari is not only intellectually and morally bankrupt, but he has unashamedly adopted America’s war against Islam. Besides he has abdicated presidential responsibility to safeguard Pakistan’s territorial integrity and prevent western interference in Pakistan. This was evident on his trip to the UK, where he ceded leadership to Britain and opened the door for them to meddle in Pakistan’s internal affairs.
After his talks with Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Zardari said, “Britain has always had a better understanding of the Subcontinent than any other country, so if [the UK] will take our point of view and put it across to the world I think it will be better.”
Earlier, the British press revealed that Zardari had floated a proposal calling for the establishment of an international consortium led by Britain to reconstruct Pakistan’s tribal areas. Zardari is the not the only civilian leader who is visionless, bereft of political ideas and suffers from an inferiority complex. Gilani, the Prime Minister of Pakistan on his return from Washington mentally surrendered himself and conceded defeat. He emphatically states that US cross border raids cannot be resolved except through diplomatic channels. He said, “It is not that we will launch any attack. We will try to convince America, we will try to convince Britain that they should respect sovereignty of Pakistan, and God willing, we will be able to convince them.”
This is the reaction of the spineless political leadership to the unfolding crisis. Is the response of the military leadership any better?
Throughout America’s Ramadan offensive, General Kiyani has not lifted a single finger to thwart the callous US aggression. At best his use of inflammatory language and his spokesman’s vague description about Pakistani troops warding off American intruders has for the moment mollified public anger.
Nonetheless, the 16 September visit of US Joint Chief of Staffs, Andrew Mullen, seriously exposed Kiyani’s cowardice and insincerity, when he took no action against American airstrikes in Wana, despite Mullen’s assurances that Pakistan’s sovereignty would be respected. Mullen also used his visit to expand America’s military footprint such that Islamabad and Pakistan’s strategic assets are well within her reach. The Los Angles Times reported that Kiyani had agreed to the deployment of US military trainers 20 miles north of the capital. This incident is unequivocal proof that Kiyani is covertly assisting America’s butchery of Muslims in the tribal area and simultaneously facilitating American efforts to disarm Pakistan.
O People of Nusrah!
Do you not perceive your political and military leaders to be cowards who have sold their souls to the warmongering crusaders?
Do you not sense how their words and deeds reek of hypocrisy and treachery?
Do you not feel the humiliation when they rush to the beck and call of their Kafir masters, eager to obey and implement their every instruction?
How long are you prepared to follow such leaders, knowing full well that they are puppets of the Kafir colonialist powers, and all they bring is harm and dishonour upon you and the Muslims of Pakistan?
Obedience to these rulers will only increase the wrath of the Allah سبحانه وتعالى against you in this life, and in the hereafter awaits a painful torment. And remember the example of the Fir’aun of the past, whose army was punished along with him for siding with him and not preventing his tyranny.
O People of Nusrah!
Surely the time has arrived for you to discard these deceitful politicians and sincerely embrace Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Hizb ut-Tahrir possesses the real politicians of this Ummah, constantly warning the Ummah about the plans of the Kafir colonialist powers and exposing the actions of the agent rulers. You are fully aquatinted with its activities, either through personal contact or through special communiqués issued by your leadership who tremble at the very mention of its name. Indeed, your cowardly leader Kiyani in collusion with America continues to place barriers between you and Hizb ut-Tahrir.
The same evil partnership has succeeded in veiling your eyes and convincing you that your brothers in FATA are your enemies, and that you are too weak to confront America. This is absolutely false, America is near economic collapse, its military is broken in Iraq and overstretched in Afghanistan, the election has paralysed its politics. Given this Hizb ut-Tahrir believes that you possess both the Iman and the fortitude to reverse Pakistan’s subjugation to America. All you have to do is put your trust in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and implement the following set of actions:-
1. Completely sever diplomatic ties with the governments of America and Britain. Seal their embassies and expel their diplomatic and non-diplomatic staff. If backwater states like Bolivia and Venezuela can drive out US ambassadors for interference in their domestic affairs, then it should be much easier for a nuclear power like Pakistan to do likewise.
2. Withdraw all types of military assistance to the American crusaders. Deny them access to Pakistani military bases, airspace and waterways. Additionally, banish US military and intelligence personnel from Pakistani soil and cease intelligence cooperation with them. Cut all supply lines to NATO and the American war machine. Where appropriate seize their military assets and defend Pakistan’s frontiers with your airplanes, tanks and missiles.
3. Leave the door open for the sincere Muslims of FATA and Baluchistan to swell your ranks, as you move to remove the imperialist border that divides the Muslims and thereby unify Afghanistan and Pakistan into a single entity. This will suffocate the crusader armies and make it extremely difficult for them to pursue their war against Islam.
4. Deploy nuclear weapons all over Pakistan and warn the crusaders and their allies of a stern response should they persist in their violation of Pakistan’s territorial integrity. This maneuver will not weaken Pakistan. On the contrary it will bolster the country’s ability to effectively counter regional and international threats. If a small nuclear country like North Korea’s can spurn US advances, then Pakistan, a far stronger nuclear power with the seventh largest army in the world, is in a far better position to accomplish much more.
5. Extend all forms of cooperation to the Kashmiri Muslims. This will keep the Hindu forces pre-occupied and erode India’s involvement in Afghanistan. Remember, the superiority of the Pakistani army in Kargil was attained with the assistance of your Kashmiri brothers. The memory of which still haunts the cowardly Hindus.
These are just some of the measures outlined by Hizb ut-Tahrir; there are many others that cannot be mentioned until we meet in private. If you earnestly take these steps, placing your trust in Allah سبحانه وتعالى, then Hizb ut-Tahrir will buttress your efforts. Do not fear political isolation or be afraid of your inability to muster international support. Politics is not your occupation; leave this to Hizb ut-Tahrir. Hizb ut-Tahrir will rally the Arab world and move the Central Asian states and other Muslim countries to support you. And always be mindful of Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى help and put your trust in Him alone.
قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلاَنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
“Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allâh has ordained for us. He is our Maulâ (Lord, Helper and Protector).” And in Allâh let the believers put their trust.” [Surah at Taubah 9:51]
O People of Nusrah!
Truly, Allah سبحانه وتعالى out of His infinite mercy has blessed you with a golden opportunity to secure a place in Jannah this Ramadan. The last time such a noble opportunity arose was at the time of the RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, when the Ansar hastened to pledge their allegiance to him صلى الله عليه وسلم at ‘Aqabah, giving him صلى الله عليه وسلم the Nusrah for the establishment of Islam as a rule and a state.
It is reported in the Seerah books: (The Ansar) asked, “O RasulAllah, what is our reward, if we honour our word?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Jannah”. They responded, “Hold out your hand,” so the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم held out his hand and they made the pledge.
So how many of you are ready to emulate the actions of the Ansar and follow in the footsteps of men like Sa’ad ibn Ma’adh and Usaid ibn Hudhair رضي الله عنهما?
So hurry and pledge your allegiance to Hizb ut-Tahrir so as to establish the Second Khilafah Rashidah state and banish America and her agents from Pakistan.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى has promised paradise for those who follow the Ansar. He سبحانه وتعالى says
وَالسَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
“And the foremost to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhajirun) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.” [Surah at Tawbah 9:100]
