Victory to the Rayah of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم

In the midst of the Ummah’s pursuit to break the colonial regime which was built on the ruins of Khilafah State, a regime that carved out tens of meager entities from the Muslim countries, and then installed a flag over each entity; the flag is in fact a symbol of its colonization, civilization and domination of the Muslims’ land.

The Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir announces the launch of the campaign:

“Yes to Rayyat Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم… No to Colonialists Flags”

Yes to the Rayah of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, which reflects the Aqeedah of the Ummah. It gathers and unites the ranks of Muslims into a single entity, the Khilafah State on the method of the Prophethood that holds the glory and the pleasure of their Lord. This campaign will extend to all the Muslim countries, Allah willing, so it can be an expression of the Ummah’s unity that are looking to rid the hegemony of Western colonialism, and its tools from the treacherous rulers who consented to raising their flags whom the European colonialists drew for them since the era of the treacherous revolution, the Great Arab Revolution. These flags are a symbol of shame, notoriety and subservience of the Western colonization.

The West and its tools are working to render the Ummah subservient with its meager entities through the imposed segregation on nationalist basis. The Rayah of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم unites all the Muslims in one state, the righteous Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood, which will stop their bloodshed, protect their honour and their wealth from the ambitions of the greedy colonial powers.

هُوَ سَمّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَذَا لِيَكُونَ الرّسُولُ شَهِيداً عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النّاسِ فَأَقِيمُواْ الصّلاَةَ وَآتُواْ الزّكَاةَ وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِاللّهِ هُوَ مَوْلاَكُمْ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلَىَ وَنِعْمَ النّصِيرُ

“Allah named you “Muslims” before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your protector; and excellent is the helper”

(Al-Hajj: 78)

  1. السلام عليكم brothers from HT, as you know there are actually different versions of the Raaya, for example some of them have a sword (or rifle) picture or some other writing on them such as the name of the fighting group which flies them. The shehaada writing on these black-white flags can actually come in different fonts. Just a simple google image search will show you that there are so many different versions. Some of them are just plain black. So do we Muslims have to be restricted to only your version of the Raaya? Are we not allowed to use any other types of raaya such as the one with the seal of resulallah saw which is now unfortunately associated with daa3esh? Note that the shehaada on your version of the flag is written in the thuluth font which was never even invented at the time of resuulullah saw.

    Examples of different versions of the raaya/oqab:

    wa alaikum as-salam,

    This question is answered in detail here: http://www.khilafah.com/qaa-islamic-flags-and-banners/

    The Hizb has performed ijtihad and adopted an opinion derived from a hadith that the kalimah should be on the rayah. If someone adopts another Islamic opinion on what is written on the rayah then that is fine because the Hizb opinion is the strongest opinion in their view, but since it’s derived through ijtihad it could be wrong.

    In terms of the font then this isn’t specified in any Islamic text therefore it is an uslub (style) and any font can be adopted.
