The Viceroy of Economic Colonialism Arrives in Pakistan to Extract Blood from the Poor

According to a news report on 12 November 2024, the mission chief of the International Monetary Fund in Pakistan met the finance minister to discuss performance regarding a loan of seven billion dollars, in an unscheduled visit. The viceroy of economic colonialism is preparing Pakistan for slaughter before the new Trump administration takes over. Our civil and military leaderships have submitted, promising that revenue targets will be met within the given timeframe. The curse of riba (interest) causes ever rising debt servicing payments. The colonialists then order increase in taxation which breaks the backs of the people. It is time to end the economic destruction through loans based on interest. It is time to reclaim the Ummah’s rightful place in the world through the establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah.

The Regime Itself Stands on a Corrupt Thought, So it Has No Alternative for Other Corrupt Thoughts

After restricting the social media platform X, the regime is moving towards restrictions of Virtual Private Networks as well, according to news reports on 13 November 2024. The reason for restrictions is quite obvious. The regime stands on nationalism and the detachment of religion from life. It has no alternative for those who oppose it, whether from other democrats, or nationalist separatists, whether from the Baloch or the Pashtun. As for having an alternative for those who want the implementation of Islam, it is a far cry. However, the solution is to refute corrupt thoughts on the basis of Deen, and look after the affairs according to Islam. The Khilafah Rashidah will eradicate corrupt thoughts through the Dawah to the Deen of Truth, Islam, and implementation of its blessed Shariah rulings.

Ideological and Structural Problems Are Not Fixed by Administrative Follow-Up

On 14 November 2024, the Chief Justice of Pakistan convened a meeting to strengthen service delivery and broaden access to justice. However, the problem of the judiciary is not merely administrative follow-up. The Muslims of Pakistan fundamentally do not consider the kufr English law to be fair. They do not trust kufr law to secure their rights. The entire judiciary contradicts the thoughts and method of Islam. The British colonialists left behind the Criminal Procedure code of 1898, the Code of Civil Procedure of 1908, immunity from prosecution for rulers and non-Shariah pardons. Therefore, increasing the salaries and privileges of judges, with administrative reforms, has not brought real change for over seven decades, and will not bring change. Only the judiciary of the Khilafah Rashidah will provide free and quick justice to the people through Shariah rulings.

Jihad by the Khilafah Rashidah will Liberate Kashmir and the Blessed Land of Palestine

On 15 November 2024, the Chief of Army Staff said that “the Kashmir issue should be resolved according to the resolutions of the United Nations” whilst supporting the two state solution for Palestine. The rulers use our armed forces as mercenaries, to fulfill colonialist interests. However, they refer Kashmir to the institutions of the allies of the Jews and Hindus, whilst they call for the surrender of most of Palestine to the occupation. The mobilization of the Muslim armed forces in Jihad is an obligation. Allah ﷻ said,

[وَأَخْرِجُوهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ]

“And drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out” [TMQ Surah Al-Baqarah, 2: 191]. The sincere officers of the armed forces must mobilize in Jihad in the Path of Allah ﷻ, removing any obstacle in their way.

Whilst Choking Our Agricultural Sector, the Rulers Open Our Markets Wide to Colonialist Produce

According to news reports on 16 November, Pakistan has become the largest importer of American cotton. The rulers of Pakistan ensure the foreign dominance of local markets. American cotton imports to Pakistan are tax-free, whilst local produce is taxed at an exorbitant 18%. The rulers are choking local cotton production, whilst opening our markets wide for states that fight Muslims, and support other states that fight Muslims. The Khilafah Rashidah will sever all ties with hostile warring states. It will end all non-Shariah taxation, including general sales tax. It will promote cultivation of barren land, and tie ownership of agricultural land with production. It will unify the Muslim world to form the world's largest market. It will trade with the many states that are crushed by the colonialist economic order, facilitating their entry into Islam.

The Military Leaderships Must Mobilize the Armies of Muslims Instead of Giving Speeches7

On 15 November, the Chief of Army Staff addressed the impact of technology in spreading false information and “contributing to the degradation of moral values in all societies.” The degradation in the societies of Muslims is due to the absence of the implementation of Islam. The military and political leaderships make Halal what Allah ﷻ has forbidden and they make Haram what Allah ﷻ has obliged. The rulers prevent the armies from mobilization in support of Gaza and Lebanon, whilst they enforce nationalist borders that divide Muslims. They prevent accounting of the rulers, whilst they implement riba. So, degradation, corruption and disobedience spreads within the societies of Muslims. The Muslims must demand that their friends and relatives in the armed forces remove the rulers. They must give their Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah.

Gaza is an Issue for the Ummah and its Armies, not Agents of US CENTCOM

On 15 November 2024, the Chief of Army Staff referred to the Gaza massacre, insisting that Pakistan will not be part of any “global conflict.” Gaza is an issue for the Ummah and its armies, not agents of US CENTCOM. The chief of army staff was given detailed commands regarding Gaza during his visit to America in December 2023, which are being followed up periodically.  In obedience to the commands of the Americans, General Asim Munir is preventing the brave and capable armed forces of Pakistan from mobilization in support of Gaza, despite the increasing pressure from both the Ummah and its armed forces. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

[إنَّما الإمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِن ورَائِهِ ويُتَّقَى به]

“The Khaleefah is the shield of the Muslims, behind whom the Muslims fight and protect themselves.” [Muslim]
