Introduction to an Islamic Constitution for Syria and the Muslim world - Article 13

The following is the translation of an article from the book by  Hizb ut-Tahrir  entitled 'Introduction to the Constitution and the necessary evidences for it' which is the explanation of its draft constitution for the Khilafah state. This draft translation is from the  second edition  published in 2009 which was updated from the original published in 1963.  Numerous brigades in Syria  have agreed to the implementation of this constitution after the removal of the corrupt system that has brutally suppressed the people for decades.  Article 13 In origin, every individual is innocent. No one should be punished without a court verdict. It is absolutely forbidden to torture anyone; and anyone who does this will be punished. This article covers three issues: The principle of innocence, the prohibition of imposing a penalty without a judge’s sentence and the prohibition of torture. As for the first issue, its evidence is derived from what was reported by Wa’il Ibn H

Q&A: Can a father prevent his daughter from taking a job?

Question: Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh , I would like to ask you regarding a job offered to me but my father refused it from the point of view that this society is corrupt, and that his duty as a father is to keep his daughter away from malicious issues that are circulated within some members of the community. As for the context of the work, I will work as a guide and paramedic to children at the age of nine. The guidance will be for Jerusalem; its gates, mosques and everything related to it. I will be working with a female colleague. My father however, told me that this work will not be limited to my personal work with this colleague, and that matters will evolve to other undesired embranchments. To my knowledge, and as it was given to me that I will be dealing with this colleague, but my father insists to reject this work as much as my insistence to engage in this experience. He told me that any such action is unacceptable before the establishment of the Khi

Defamation of Hizb ut-Tahrir and the Methodology of RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم

To the GEO TV administration, Assalamu alaikum, On 18 December 2013, your TV channel broadcast a heinous accusation by Mr. Kamran Khan that Hizb ut-Tahrir took responsibility for an attack on the Pakistan Army, through its spokesman. Please note that other TV stations, on the same day, made the record clear that a little known and shadowy group perpetrated this crime, as did the press media the very next day. This heinous accusation is an affront on several levels. 1. It is an affront to your reputation as a credible news source for Muslims. It is widely known within society that Hizb ut-Tahrir is a political party whose goal is the resumption of the Islamic way of life through the re-establishment of the Khilafah. In fact, it is so widely known that one other news station who ran a similar accusation within minutes retracted it, as persistence upon such obvious falsehood would harm only its narrator. Yet, it has been a full four days and your institution has done nothing

The Prince of Martyrs

O you who believe in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم! RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said in a hadith, »سيد الشهداء حمزة ورجل قام إلى إمام جائر فنصحه فقتله« "The prince of martyrs is Hamzah and the man who stood facing a tyrant ruler, gave him the correct advice and the ruler killed him."  [Reported by al-Haakim] O you who account the tyrant rulers of today! Our master, RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, compared the man who accounted the tyrant ruler with the prince of martyrs, lion of Allah, beloved uncle of RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, Hamza (ra). So who is this Hamza (ra) that we seek to be compared to? It is Hamza (ra) who was a shield for the Muslims in their time of need, due to his princely status amongst the Qur'aysh. It is Hamza (ra) who was the attraction for many to embrace Islam, from the tribes, due to that status. It is Hamza (ra) who embraced Islam and stood so firmly upon it that he angered the enemy to an extent they app

Open Letter to General Raheel Sharif from Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan

الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه ومن والاه وبعد "All Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and his family and companions and those who follow him." We begin our address to you, General Raheel, with that which is Khair, as a reminder both for us and for you. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says, قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ "Say: "O Allah! Possessor of the power, You give power to whom You will, and You take power from whom You will, and You endue with honor whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will. In Your Hand is the good. Verily, You are able to do all things." (Surah Aali Imran 3:26) Thus, it was the will of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Al-Qadeer, that you should become commander of the Muslim World's larges

Explanation of At-Takattul al-Hizbi (Party Structuring) - Part 2

Sharh At-Takattul Al-Hizbi  (Explanation of  Party Structuring ) by  Sheikh Mohammad Al-Hawarey  (rh).  This is a translation from Sheikh Hawarey's explanation of the unique book by Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani.  To access Part 1 click here 2) They did not know a Tareeqah (method) to implement their idea (Fikrah) rather their idea proceeded by improvised and t wisted means. This is in addition to it being surrounded by obscurity (Ghumood) and ambiguity (Ibhaam). The subject of the Tareeqah (method) remains unclear in terms of understanding in respect to all of the movements until this day. Indeed they are virtually incapable of differentiating or distinguishing between the Fikrah (thought) and the Tareeqah (method) and between the Usloob (style) and the Waseelah (means). They envision any action from amongst actions to be the method and more precisely they do not distinguish between the Tareeqah (method) before achieving the goal and the Tareeqah after a
