Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Lebanon
Revives the First Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah 1443 AH
(Translated)

As part of Hizb ut Tahrir’s activity in the Wilayah of Lebanon to revive the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the party held rallies to celebrate the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw) in the cities of Sidon and Tripoli on Thursday 8 Dhul Hijjah and Friday 9 Dhul Hijjah. These marches paraded the main streets of the city and its markets, accompanied by takbeer and tahleel. The faces of the bystanders in the streets, in their cars, and on the balconies of their homes, filming the activities, chanting takbeer and tahleel, were overjoyed. If this indicates anything, it indicates the greatness of Islam and its rituals in the hearts of people despite all the campaigns of Westernization and attempts to distance them from Islam, and even attempts to distort its rulings and commands. This glorification reflects the words of our Lord (swt):

[ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ]

“That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts” [Al-Hajj: 32].

The hearts of Muslims are full of Islam, but they are only waiting for someone to lead them on the right path and restore the honour of Islam and its people.

The Women’s Section of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Lebanon had active participants in these marches, which reflected the real role that Shariah entrusted to the Muslim woman, without contradicting her modesty, her active role in the process of change, and her original role in raising generations. This made women have a special message in the sermon of the Prophet (saw), to his Ummah in the Farewell Pilgrimage in the tenth year of Hijra (migration) “...be kind to women,” this refutes all sinful calls to undermine the Muslim woman, her headscarf and her role; attempted by the so-called feminist movements of the West.

Among their activities, they held an interactive activity in the office of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Mirayata region, under the title “In the Blessed Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah” on the sixth of Dhul Hijjah, which included an explanation of the verses of Hajj, the most prominent ritual in these ten days, and a soliloquy poem entitled “To you, my Lord, I came to respond.” And a talk entitled “The Ten Nights”, then a touching speech entitled, “O Muslims, A Hajj without an Amir?!” In it, one of the women members of Hizb ut Tahrir spoke about the necessity of appointing a ruler for Hajj who determines the day of their Hajj and guides them in the rituals or he appoints someone who will do so, who is keen not to spoil their Hajj. The absence of the Khilafah (Caliphate) State and the Amir of Hajj is not replaced by guides and heads of states, and whatever leads to a wajib (obligation) becomes a wajib. The Muslims must work with the workers to establish the Khilafah and the Caliph. The activity was concluded with a chant entitled “My Lord is Extensive in Generosity and is the Lord of the House and the Sanctuary” and a supplication and interaction from the attendees with tahleel and takbeer.

The conclusion of the party’s activities in its two sections (men and women) was the collective Eid prayer in revival of the ritual of Eid prayer in an open land, which the party is used to perform in the city of Tripoli in northern Lebanon, in the Shira’ Square in Abu Samra, in which Ustadh Ahmad Al-Qasas delivered the Khutba speech and focused on those abnormal calls that began to appear in society, under misleading names such as "homosexuality" and others, indicating its danger and the need to confront these immoralities and those who advocate it in Muslim countries in general and in Lebanon in particular.

With the conclusion of the ten days and the day of Eid and the days of al-Tashreeq, we ask Allah (swt), that the coming Eids will be under the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, and under the banner of the Caliph of the Muslims and their Imam, whom the Messenger of Allah (saw) described as:

«...وإنَّما الإمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِن وَرَائِهِ ويُتَّقَى بِهِ»

“Only the Imam is a shield, behind whom you fight and you protect yourself with,” And we renew our call to the Muslims in Lebanon to work with Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the Islamic State, the Khilafah on the method of Prophethood, on the way of the Messenger of Allah (saw), that Hizb ut Tahrir pursues in order to achieve His (saw) glad-tidings:

«...ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ نُبُوَّةٍ»

“Then there will be Khilafah on the method of Prophethood.”

This is easy for Allah (swt) to accomplish

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْراً]

“Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent” [At-Talaq: 3].

May Allah (swt) accept your worships, Eid Mubarak and may you get closer to Allah (swt) every year.
