Press Release
Under Suspicious Headings such as Gender, and under the Pretext of Suspicious International Agreements!
Societies and groups funded by the West are trying to spread their poison among Muslims
(Translated)

A few days ago, we saw groups, associations, and institutions affiliated with the United Nations carrying on campaigns with titles bearing connotations that clash with the basic letters of Muslims on one hand, and have no reality among us on the other hand. Rather, they are attempts to project the problems of the West and the corruption of its political, economic and social systems onto our reality! Such as the call to prevent violence against women, the prevention of violence against what they called gender, and calls for what they call gender and feminism! In a deviation of these associations and institutions from the nature of their work that people have accepted due to the harsh living conditions and the funds provided by these entities, to become associations and organizations defending physical and intellectual deviance, under the name of freedoms that western societies have inherited, which does not need much explanation. And to all of them we say:

- In our Deen and in our circles, women are viewed originally as mothers and housewives and that they are honor that must be preserved, and this does not prevent their participation in public life, work and the advancement of Muslims within the controls set by Allah, the Creator of everything. (وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى) “And He created the pairs—males and females” [An-Najm 53:45]. Who, Glory be to Him, made the relationship arising from the meeting of the man with the woman a complete system known as the social system.

- The view of women in our religion is based on what Allah Almighty and His Messenger (saw) addressed Muslims with, such as His saying in Surat An-Nisa: (وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ) “Treat them fairly.” [An-Nisa 4:19]. It is like his hadith (saw):

«إِنَّمَا النِّسَاءُ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ» “Woman are counterpart of men”. And he (saw) said: «اسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْراً» “Act kindly toward women”. Is there something greater than that in the greatest book of Muslims, the Noble Qur’an, which Muslims read during the hours of the night and at the ends of the day, than that one of its greatest chapters is a chapter called Surat An-Nisa?

- The call to combat violence against women is a dubious and truncated call, because Islam does not need it, as it opposes violence against women, men, boys, fools, and the insane, who are the subject of Sharia rulings, and not just women. The strange thing is that those who present the call in defense of women are the ones who make them a material for propaganda, media and pornography! Where if the purpose is exhausted, she will be thrown, in their country, on the side of the road!

- If some Muslims deviate because of their bad religion and morals in dealing with women, men or children, then it is forbidden and it is a shortcoming for those who did this matter, and the controls of Islam in dealing with these matters and taking the right to its owner are clear and unambiguous.

- What is advocated on the issue of gender and social type, i.e. acknowledging homosexuality as a natural condition, is not based on the simplest rules of science and medicine that have proven that this matter is not genetically congenital. Rather, it is because of the loosening that is occurring in Western societies and the idea that man is created for enjoyment, where he is constantly searching for new pleasures, even if they contradict human instinct, even animal instinct, until pestilences appeared in them that we need not list. And if such cases do exist among us, then they are dealt with according to what the people of jurisprudence, medicine and specialization say, and not the directors, members and boards of directors of the associations who benefit from the financing.

O owners of associations and secularists and those supporting them: Know that there are men among the Muslims and their countries who have made it their concern to protect their country despite all the difficult circumstances, until Allah permits His victory and empowerment for His servants. These men will be the solid wall on which any suspicious, malicious attempt will be broken, even if all the money and efforts spent are spent on it, because we bear in mind the saying Allah Almighty:

(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ)

“Surely the disbelievers spend their wealth to hinder others from the Path of Allah. They will continue to spend to the point of regret. Then they will be defeated and the disbelievers will be driven into Hell.” [Al-Anfal 8:36].

O Muslims: The campaign is fierce against your country to try to eradicate your Deen and your honor, and here we remind you to ponder this great hadith from the compilations of the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw):

«يا مَعْشَرَ المهاجرينَ! خِصالٌ خَمْسٌ إذا ابتُلِيتُمْ بهِنَّ، وأعوذُ باللهِ أن تُدْرِكُوهُنَّ: لم تَظْهَرِ الفاحشةُ في قومٍ قَطُّ، حتى يُعْلِنُوا بها، إلا فَشَا فيهِمُ الطاعونُ والأوجاعُ التي لم تَكُنْ مَضَتْ في أسلافِهِم الذين مَضَوْا، ولم يَنْقُصُوا المِكْيالَ والميزانَ إِلَّا أُخِذُوا بالسِّنِينَ وشِدَّةِ المُؤْنَةِ، وجَوْرِ السلطانِ عليهم، ولم يَمْنَعُوا زكاةَ أموالِهم إلا مُنِعُوا القَطْرَ من السماءِ، ولولا البهائمُ لم يُمْطَرُوا، ولم يَنْقُضُوا عهدَ اللهِ وعهدَ رسولِه إلا سَلَّطَ اللهُ عليهم عَدُوَّهم من غيرِهم، فأَخَذوا بعضَ ما كان في أَيْدِيهِم، وما لم تَحْكُمْ أئمتُهم بكتابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وجَلَّ ويَتَخَيَّرُوا فيما أَنْزَلَ اللهُ إلا جعل اللهُ بأسَهم بينَهم»

“O Muhajirun, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them. They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the Zakah of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allah and seek all good from that which Allah has revealed, Allah will cause them to fight one another.” So beware, O Muslims, enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and hasten to renew the covenant of Allah Almighty and the covenant of His Messenger (saw) and to restore the rule by what Allah has revealed so that it is in the hands of the sincere Muslims under the shade of the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly-guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, which takes care of everyone who lives within its fold, not as virtue and favor, but rather as a commitment to the Shariah’s rulings.

And we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Lebanon will not hesitate for a single moment in defending the sanctities, honor and interests of Muslims. And our campaign, if Allah wills, will continue to show the corruption and falsity of what these and their masters call for in the colonial kufr (disbelieving) West, and all suspicious agreements such as CEDAW or what was issued and will be issued by population conferences, will be a target for our arrows and under our feet and the feet of all the faithful, Allah Almighty, with the permission of Allah Almighty, bearing in mind the saying of our Lord Almighty:

(مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعاً إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ وَالَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَكْرُ أُولَٰئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ)

“Whoever seeks honor and power, then ˹let them know that˺ all honour and power belongs to Allah. To Him ˹alone˺ good words ascend, and righteous deeds are raised up by Him. As for those who plot evil, they will suffer a severe punishment. And the plotting of such ˹people˺ is doomed ˹to fail˺.” [Fatir 35:10].
