O Armies of the Muslims: Beware, beware lest you let this blessed month of Rajab pass you by before you give your military support (nussrah) to Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish the Second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. Then your standing among the Muslims will be like that of the great Ansar (ra).
Otherwise, by Allah (swt), it will be a disgrace in this world and the Hereafter. The Khilafah (Caliphate) project has been adopted by Hizb ut Tahrir to be a roadmap for the revival of your Ummah and the building of its state. All that remains is for you to respond to the call of Allah (swt), Whose call is never false, for by Allah (swt), it is an honor in this world and the Hereafter.

O Ummah of Islam!
The women and children of Gaza are crying out for help... The women and children of Sudan are pleading... The women and children of the Uyghurs in East Turkestan are suffering and crying out... Muslim women and children everywhere are raising their voices, one cry after another, asking, “Is there anyone to help? Is there anyone to answer our call? Is there anyone to respond?!”
So where are you? Have you grown accustomed to the scenes and news reports, and has the blood of your sons and daughters frozen in their veins, so that neither brotherhood in Iman, nor zeal for honor, nor the call to defend honor and the land moves them?!
O Ummah of Islam: In every corner of the world, your children are witnessing a war against their Deen. Those in charge of the capitalist world order want to assimilate them into their secular civilization, and obliterate their Islamic values. It has become clear to you that this is a war of civilizations, and if you do not stand up for your Islamic civilization, the situation will worsen, and you will witness more pain and greater losses.
O Ummah of Islam: Your enemies are well aware that your strength lies in your return to the Book of your Lord (swt) and the Sunnah of His Prophet (saw), and in acting upon them within a unified state that protects all your people. This is why they are vigilant in securing those abhorrent nationalistic borders and appointing those who work to protect them, and maintain them as an impenetrable barrier against your unification.
O Ummah of Islam: You witness the suffering of one part of your body after another, and the rest of your body is unable to defend it or confront the ailments and dangers that threaten it and others because it is divided and weak, and because it has abandoned the source of its strength and glory: the Shariah Law of its Lord.
O Ummah of Islam: We hope that you will heed our call and urge our ulema and preachers to speak the truth, enlighten minds, and show people the path to salvation. We ask you to urge our sons, the officers and soldiers of the armies, to rise up as one to support this Deen and exalt its word.
O Ummah of Islam: Come, let us work together to establish the Second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood, which will put an end to the suffering of your children and protect them and all who live under their protection.

Admitting a Mistake Is Salvation, not Downfall.
Not everyone who supports someone is malicious, nor is everyone who defends a leader complicit in their error. Many people are misled by appearances and powerful rhetoric, falling into delusion unintentionally. However, the problem doesn’t begin with thinking good of others, but with persisting in it after a succession of evidence, and with turning individuals into sacred figures, beyond discussion, scrutiny, or accountability.
It is unacceptable to cite difficult circumstances or the nature of the times as justifications, because this very excuse has been used throughout history to justify the greatest deviations. If changing circumstances justified altering fundamental principles, no principle would remain in the Ummah, steadfastness would have no meaning, and sacrifice no value.
The Shariah and moral obligations require that every person be weighed on a single, unchanging scale: What have they contributed to the ideology? What have they changed within it? Where are they leading the people? With whom are they coordinating? And at what cost are they making concessions? If the answers cause more anxiety than reassurance, then silence is not wisdom, but unwitting complicity.
Admitting a mistake is not a fall, but salvation. Continuing to justify the wrong path, for fear of the collapse of image is the surest way to transform an individual deception into a collective catastrophe. Truth is not defined by men, but men are defined by truth, and whoever deviates from it loses all pretense, no matter how eloquent their words.

Coverage of Hizb ut Tahrir’s Global Events for the Commemoration of the Destruction of the Khilafah 1447 AH – 2026 CE
In the sacred month of Rajab of this year, 1447 AH (2026 CE), we commemorate the 105th anniversary of the destruction of the Islamic State by Arab and Turkish traitors, agents of the kafir (disbelieving) colonizers.
This state was established by the Master of Messengers, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and his Noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all). The Islamic system of governance (the Caliphate) was abolished on the 28th of Rajab 1342 AH, corresponding to March 3, 1924 CE, at the hands of the criminal Mustafa Kemal. This tragic anniversary returns to us while the genocide committed by the Jewish entity against defenseless Muslims in the Gaza Strip continues, as do the brutal massacres perpetrated in the West Bank. These atrocities have resulted in the martyrdom, injury, and disappearance of more than 230,000 Muslim men and women over the past two years, the majority of whom are women, children, and the elderly. Furthermore, the senseless and bloody war raging in Sudan continues to claim the lives of innocent Muslims there, serving the interests of disbelieving America, which ignited the conflict between its agents to separate Darfur from Sudan, just as it previously separated South Sudan.
For all these reasons, Hizb ut Tahrir is organizing widespread public events in the countries where it operates to awaken Muslims and galvanize them to work diligently with the party to establish the Islamic State (the Second Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate) on the methodology of the Prophethood). This state alone holds the key to worldly glory and salvation in the Hereafter, and it alone is capable of liberating the land and its people from the criminal infidels!
We, at the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir, will, Allah willing, provide comprehensive coverage of these events on this page, at the following link:

In the New Syria: Criminals Acquitted, Honorable People Condemned
The Syrian Ministry of Justice issued a statement affirming the Syrian state’s commitment to the rule of law and respect for the public rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution.
In response, Abdo al-Dalli, a member of the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Syria, wrote a comment for the Central Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir, comparing two starkly contradictory scenes:
The first scene, he said, involves a group of people released a few days ago. Hassan Soufan described this release as falling within the framework of the “reconciliation policy pursued by the state,” claiming that those released had no blood on their hands. However, the facts proved that among them were officers who had served in active military units that participated directly or indirectly in suppressing the people's revolution. Despite this, they were released and received with open arms, all under the umbrella of the constitution!
In the contrasting scene, young men with their own histories are being tried in complete secrecy; a masked judge, a masked jailer, even the appointed defense lawyer seemed more like a prosecution lawyer, with all the Shebaab (Hizb members) weighed down by chains. They received harsh sentences, the likes of which I first heard of in Sednaya Prison, when a young man from the Supreme State Security Court said, “I’ve been sentenced to twelve years.”
Abdo al-Dalli continued writing: This is a strange paradox between the two scenes, leading us to legitimate questions: Is the constitution being applied selectively? Are rights and freedoms respected for one group but not another? Has freedom of expression become an exclusive right for some, forbidden to others?!
These questions are directed to the Minister of Justice, who ascended the podium, advising and warning against injustice and its consequences. If he is unaware of what is happening in the courts and the regions under his ministry’s jurisdiction, this is a great calamity. However, if he is aware, the calamity is even greater!

Trump Grants the Syrian Golan Heights to the Jewish Entity
US President Trump announced that he had signed a decree granting the Syrian Golan Heights to the Jewish entity, then said mockingly, “Then I discovered its value amounts to trillions of dollars, at which point I said perhaps I should have asked them for something in return.”
Ar-Rayah Magazine: Anyone who examines the events since September 11, 2001 realizes that America is waging a fierce crusade against Islam and Muslims, as George W. Bush declared at the time, “This crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take a while.” Now, in his second term, Trump has further confirmed this idea through his unlimited support for the Jewish entity and its direct participation in the genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 70,000 and wounded many times that number. America has more than 70,000 troops in the Middle East, a number exceeding its presence in Europe. And America is stealing the wealth of Muslims, especially in the Gulf states, where Trump managed to collect $2 trillion on his recent tour of the region. He ensures the subservience of rulers of Muslims to his arrogance and insolence.
Despite Trump’s declaration confirming his intention to give the Golan Heights to the Jews, the Syrian administration remains silent. It also remained silent regarding Netanyahu's declaration that his forces would remain on Mount Hermon (جبل الشيخ) and in the areas into which the Jewish entity army has penetrated Syrian territory, an area twice the size of the Gaza Strip. And this Syrian administration, despite all this, remains committed to the path of normalization to appease America, the foremost enemy of Islam and Muslims. How wretched is their judgment!
