Oh People!
• For the past 37 years the country has seen democratic, dictatorial, military, and emergency government systems. All of these systems are controlled by the disbelieving, polytheist, imperialist states – US, India and Britain.
• Under these systems the ruling elite use elections as tool to reach and consolidate power; make laws for their own benefit and serve imperialist interests.
• Moreover under these systems the resources of the country are subject to World Bank and IMF exploitation, the judiciary runs according to the colonialist laws, our soldiers are sent to secure Western interests around the globe in the name of peace-keeping and our children are corrupted by the Western values.
Oh Muslims!
Withdraw you support for the ruling elite who serve the imperialist enemies
The imperialists are enemies of Islam and the Muslims. Their objective is to make Bangladesh a proxy state to achieve their strategic designs in the region and impose their control over our economy. They are using the upcoming election to shape the politics of the country to achieve this purpose.
The current ruling elite serve these enemies. They have turned their back to the Islam and the Muslims. They are insisting on ruling by the imperialist dominated political systems despite their falsehood and failure. Allah سبحانه وتعالى commands us to remove these oppressive ruling elite and establish the ruling on the basis of Islam.
Oh Muslims!
Respond to the command of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and re-establish the Khilafah
• The Khilafah will establish in power the correct leadership which is sincere and responsible; and a leadership who do not serve Washington, London and Delhi. The Khilafah is the only method for establishing a stable government system; securing the basic needs of the people; developing a self-reliant economy; protecting national security and restoring the glory of the Muslim Ummah.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said, “Allah save you from the leadership of the foolish ones.” The companions asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم, “Who are from the foolish leadership?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم replied, “Those rulers who will come after me and they will neither heed my guidance nor follow my way (sunnah), so whosoever validated their lies and supported them in their treachery, will not be from me and I am not from them and they will not be allowed to come near my well, i.e. al-Kawthar, and whoever does not validate their falsehood and does not support them in their treachery, they are from me and I am from them and they will meet me at my well, i.e. al-Kawthar.” [Musnad Imam Ahmad]
