The following is a draft translation from Arabic. As for the issue of rizq, most of the ayaat, of definite meaning, do not leave any scope for any body that believes in Qur’an but to believe that rizq is in the Hand of Allah, where He gives to whom He wants. The issue of rizq is different from the issue of al-qadar (knowledge of Allah).

As for the rizq, it is not only Allah knew so and so person will be given rizq, so the rizq would then be written and ordained, but beside the fact He ordained the rizq is that Allah (swt) is the Razzaq (Sustainer) and not the servant. This is what the ayaat indicated. Allah (swt) says: وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَى “We ask not of you provision. We provide for you, and the end is for taqwa(righteousness).” [Taha: 132] وَكُلُواْ

Created man from a clinging (clot of blood). Read, and your Lord is most bounteous. Who taught by the pen. Taught man what he knew not.” 1. INTRODUCTION The culture (thaqafa) of any nation is the backbone of its existence and survival. Based on this culture, the Ummah’s civilisation (hadhara) is founded, her goals and objective are defined, and her way of life is discerned. The individuals of the Ummah are moulded by this culture in one melting pot such that the Ummah becomes distinguished from the rest nations. This culture is: The Ummah’s intellectual doctrine (‘aqeedah

بِسْمِ الله الرَّحمَنِ الرَحيم Open letter from Hizb ut-Tahrir to the People of Power Uproot Musharraf and this corrupt system, re-establish Khilafah O people of power and influence! The present crisis that has gripped Pakistan has escalated from a collision between President General Pervez Musharraf and the Chief Justice to a golden opportunity to bring a genuine and substantial change within the country.The crisis was only sustainable because of the extreme frustration of the people with the current regimes policies. This opposition to Musharraf’s policies is clear during the demonstrations by the lawyers when they raised slogans against US President George W. Bush, his War on the Muslim World and his key agent within the region, President Musharraf. This opposition is also clear from widespread discussions within all circles of society criticizing policies that have favoured the colonialists over the Muslims in almost every sphere of governing, from education to economy and from law
