It is a truly astonishing and strange matter; that abnormality became the norm, and what is wrong became right. Muslim countries that are torn apart into weak entities, this abnormal situation, has become the norm, and considered the original state and correct by many. International councils and organizations established by kafir (disbelieving) states, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, have become substitutes for the unity of Muslims in a single state ruled by one caliph!

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) sees Iran's attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, but does not see the American planes and missiles launched from those countries to attack and aggress against Iran. It condemns the former while remaining silent about the latter. Through what eyes does the GCC view events, and by what standard does it judge them?

This state of affairs of the Muslims is displeasing to Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw), and the believers. It is a situation imposed upon Muslims by the colonial powers of kufr (disbelief), and the corrupt rulers have come to solidify it. Their mouthpieces and media outlets attempt to entrench it in the minds of Muslims, making it seem normal and the original state. This has led many Muslims to forget their true reality: that they are one Ummah, distinct from all others; their wars are one, their peace is one, and they are governed by one Caliph according to the Book of Allah (swt) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (saw).

The GCC should have viewed matters from an Islamic perspective, and recognize that America and other colonial powers as enemies of Islam and Muslims, and understand that the Jewish entity is their spearhead in the lands of the Muslims.

It would have been more appropriate for it to condemn the existence of these ruwaibidha (insignificant ignorant) rulers in the Muslim lands, and to denounce the existence of these agent states that are subservient to the West. It would have been more appropriate for it to address the rulers of the countries it represents, and to address the rulers of Iran, and to address the rulers of the rest of the Muslim lands, demanding that they step down from power, hand over power to Hizb ut Tahrir, and give bayah (pledge allegiance) to its leader as Caliph of the Muslims, so that he may unite their countries and armies, uproot the presence of America and the kafir colonial countries from the Muslim lands, and rule them with Islam, and carry with it Islam to all people as a message of guidance, light, and justice.

Let no one say that you are asking for the impossible, and let no one be surprised by this request; for what is truly strange and bizarre is this abnormal reality of the Islamic Ummah. It is strange and bizarre that this Ummah has become divided into nations and peoples who are at odds and perhaps even fighting each other, while Allah (swt) says:

[إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ]

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

For centuries, Muslims remained a single Ummah under the banner of one caliph; this was the natural order, and they considered fragmentation and division impossible. So, what prevents us from returning to being one Ummah as we once were? Indeed, it is the original state, a promise from Allah (swt) and glad tidings from His Messenger (saw): «ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»“Then there will be a Khilafah on the method of Prophethood.”

After this oppressive rule in which we live, in addition to the presence of the leader, Hizb ut Tahrir, who does not lie to its people, the champion of the Khilafah (Caliphate) project, how close it is to becoming a reality that some see as impossible.
