The Khilafah Rashidah Will Prohibit Riba Without Delay

On 4 November, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) announced a reduction in its interest rate from 17.5% to 15%. Under the current capitalist economic system, interest (riba) is a permanent feature, whether it is increased or decreased. Riba ensures that the Third World drowns in debt, despite its huge resources. Riba is a burden on businesses, the poor and the indebted. Riba is a huge sin in Islam.  Allah ﷻ said,

[الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبا لا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ]

“Those who consume interest will stand ˹on Judgment Day˺ like those driven to madness by Satan’s touch.” [TMQ Surah al-Baqarah 2:275].  The secular judiciary will never prohibit Riba, as it does not rule by all that Allah ﷻ has revealed. However, the Khilafah Rashidah will prohibit Riba immediately.

Agents of Colonialism Rush to Congratulate the New President of America

On 7 November, the Prime Minister rushed to congratulate Trump on his victory, saying, “I look forward to working closely with the incoming administration to further strengthen and broaden the Pakistan-U.S. partnership.” The American elections were a competition between political hypocrisy, represented by the Democrats, and political brutality represented by the Republicans. In their war against Muslims, the people of kufr are one people. Trump bombed Muslims in Afghanistan, whilst using the air corridor of Pakistan. He ensured the surrender of Occupied Kashmir to India. He pushes for the surrender of most of Palestine. The rulers of Muslims will continue to surrender our land and resources to their colonialist masters. The Ummah and its armed forces must uproot the treacherous rulers. They must establish the Khilafah Rashidah so that the tyrants of the world are forced into retreat.

The Ruling Factions Secure Perks and Allowances, Whilst Drowning the People in Taxes and Debt

On 6 November 2024, the acting President signed a notification to increase the house rent allowance of supreme court judges from Rs68,000 to Rs350,000. Likewise, the judicial allowance has been increased. This comes at a time when the people of Pakistan are buried under increasing debt and inhumane taxes. The orders of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have made survival difficult for many. The ruling factions cite tough economic conditions when it comes to liberating Kashmir and Palestine. However, they have ample money to increase their perks, salaries, allowances and benefits. The Ummah needs a Khaleefah Rashid who will look after the affairs of the people, in accordance with the Book of Allah ﷻ and the Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ.

Air Pollution is Because of the Absence of a State that Looks After Our Affairs

Authorities in the province of Punjab have ordered educational institutions to close until 17 November to protect children from air pollution. Record-high air pollution in the provincial capital Lahore is sending more and more people to hospitals and private clinics. Successive governments have failed to solve the problem of air pollution for several years. They have failed to provide efficient, affordable and extensive public transport to reduce the need for the use of private vehicles. They have failed to ensure industrial areas are far away from residential areas. They have failed to provide affordable modern agricultural machinery to reduce the need for the burning of crop stubble. Under the system of kufr, the rulers only look after their personal affairs and those of the colonialists. The Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood is the Islamic authority for the guardianship of the affairs of Muslims.

The Khilafah Rashidah Will Look After Our Affairs and Unify us

The media wing of the military reported on 9 November that, "Namaz-e-Janaza for the Shuhada, who embraced martyrdom in a suicide blast targeting innocent citizens and passengers at Quetta Railway Station was offered.”  Pakistan is being burnt in the fire of fighting between Muslims in the province of Balochistan. Unity of Muslims will not be restored except by implementing the Shariah ruling of Islam, spreading the thought of true Islamic brotherhood, and applying the idea of equality among all Muslims in benefiting from the returns of public property, such as gas and minerals.  The Khilafah Rashidah will end injustice, poverty, and marginalization of all races within the Islamic Ummah. Islam has prohibited nationalistic sentiments and established brotherhood among Muslims. Allah ﷻ said,

[إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ]

“The believers are but one brotherhood” [TMQ Surah Al-Hujurat: 10].

The Rulers of Muslims are the Real Defense of the Jewish Entity

On 10 November the Prime Minister arrived in Saudi Arabia, to join the Joint Arab Islamic Summit about Gaza. For over a year, the rulers of Muslims have limited themselves to condemnations, summits and conferences. For over a year, they have prevented the mobilization of the armies of the Ummah. For over a year, they have supplied the Jewish entity by air, land and sea. Every Muslim must now approach his relatives and friends in the armed forces. He must demand that the armies undertake the removal of the current rulers. He must demand that the armies grant their Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the re-establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. Allah ﷻ said,

[وَأَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ]

“Expel them from wherever they have expelled you.” [TMQ Surah Al-Baqarah 2: 191]

The Ummah Must Order Its Armies to Remove the Treacherous Rulers

On 11 November 2024, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab stated that Pakistan may withdraw from a cricket competition, if it is denied hosting rights, after India’s refusal to travel across the border. The rulers of Muslims focus on trivialities, whilst ignoring the vital issues. Since India’s annexation of Kashmir, Muslim men have been abducted or martyred, the dignity of Muslim women has been violated and their homes destroyed. At the same time, America has strengthened India’s influence in the region to contain China and the Muslims. Yet, the rulers are busy with sports, when it is time to mobilize tanks and warplanes. The Ummah must demand that its armies remove the Ruwaibadah lowly rulers. The Ummah must order its officers to give their Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah.
