Comment:

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is a Eurasian regional organization established by China and Russia in 2001. It is the world’s largest regional organization in terms of geographic scope and population. As of 2023, the organization is primarily centered on fighting “terrorism and extremism.” As of 2017, the organization has arranged military exercises between the member states.

The Munir-Sharif regime made extraordinary efforts regarding the summit. The authorities ordered the closure of businesses, schools, marriage halls, supreme courts, high court and lower courts, everything in Islamabad was closed. The regime deployed the military to ensure foolproof security and announced a two-day public holiday. The regime is now claiming that Pakistan will start to progress on the path of economic progress. The ruling factions believe that Pakistan cannot stand on its own feet without the backing of any major power of the world. Therefore, the rulers of Pakistan always seek the support of the colonialists, particularly the United States. However, alliance with the colonialists only brings harm.

Pakistan has suffered economically under twenty-four programs of the International Monetary Fund. Pakistan has also suffered under economic alliances, such as the Chinese Pakistan Economic Corridor. It has huge debts to China and colonialist financial institutions. Colonialist companies have increased their dominance of the resources and markets of Pakistan. Under the banner of fighting terrorism, the rulers of Pakistan supported the American occupation of Afghanistan, throwing Pakistan into a destructive civil war between Muslims. The rulers of Pakistan crushed Jihad against India and enforced a ceasefire on the Line of Control, allowing India to forcibly annex Kashmir in August 2019.

Colonialist powers only make alliances with Muslims to secure their interests and increase their dominance. Organizations such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the United Nations are tools of the colonialists. Hizb ut Tahrir has stated in its “Introduction to the Constitution,” Article 191, “The State is forbidden to belong to any organisation which is based on anything other than Islam or which applies non-Islamic rules. This includes international organisations like the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and regional organisations like the Arab League.”

Indeed, the only way forward is the severing of all ties with the colonialist powers, the establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate), the complete implementation of Islam and the unification of the Muslim World. By doing so the Muslims of Pakistan, South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, Far East and Africa, will become the most powerful state on the surface of the earth, which stretches from Indonesia in the east and to Morocco in the west. Allah (swt) said,

[الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا]

“Those who take disbelievers for allies instead of believers, do they seek power with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all power.” [Surah An-Nisa'a 4:139].
