O Muslims! Is it not Enough that you Spent a Century without the Khilafah?!
(Translated)

The Khilafah (Caliphate), which united the Muslims and was the protective shield of the Ummah, was demolished on Rajab 28, 1342 AH, corresponding to March 3, 1924, by Western countries led by Britain and with the help of their local agents. On this date, Muslims became without a shepherd or power. After the abolition of the Khilafah, Muslims suffered greatly and witnessed many occupations and destruction. The British not only demolished the Khilafah but also gave the lands of the blessed Al-Aqsa Masjid to the occupying Jews in 1948.The occupation of the Islamic countries and the suffering of Muslims in the last century without a Khilafah is almost incalculable due to its abundance. The French committed genocide in Algeria and killed more than a million Muslims. Millions of Muslims, children, old people, women and men, were killed by the Kuffar during the occupation in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, East Turkestan and Kashmir. Nearly a million Muslims have been killed in the decade plus Syrian war, and millions have been displaced to other countries as refugees. The blood of Muslims has never been shed with such ease and neglect at any time throughout history. Western countries have also plundered and exploited the wealth underground and above it in Islamic countries during the past century.

After we were strong under the Khilafah, we weakened without it, and after we were wealthy we became poverty-stricken, just as we fell into humiliation and disgrace after we were in dignity with the Khilafah. After we were one Ummah and one state in the Khilafah, by its demolition, we were torn and divided. Also, under the Khilafah, we had pious, dignified and brave Khalifs (Caliphs), and then the rulers which were appointed were cowardly colonial rulers and traitors loyal to the West. Likewise under the Khilafah, the joy and sorrow of Muslims were one, but after the [loss of] Khilafah even the hearts became divided. Some became nationalists, others patriots, others secular and democrats, and some became modernists and Westerners…

O Muslims: After a century of black pages, the time has come to open a clean and white page for the Islamic Ummah. The time has come to liberate Palestine, end the injustice in Syria, and respond to the killing of children in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is also time to stand for East Turkestan and answer the call of Myanmar and Moreh!! It is time to unite Kashmir, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. And the time has come to open the gates of Mecca unconditionally to all Muslims, and to end the longing for Medina Al-Munawwara! Working to establish the Khilafah is Allah’s obligation on all Muslims, and even the crown of all obligations. As the establishment of the Khilafah is the promise of Allah Almighty and the glad tidings of His Messenger (saw). There is no doubt that Allah's promise is true and the glad tidings of His Messenger will inevitably be fulfilled. For Muslims, the Khilafah is not a dream, but a reality. By establishing it, we will be liberated! The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»“Then there will be a Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood”.

O Muslims: Rise to work with Hizb ut Tahrir in order to establish the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) State upon the method of the Prophethood, so enjoy the realization of the good news of the Messenger of Allah (saw). Hizb ut Tahrir calls you to the only way that will save humanity, and they want the best for you and to attain Allah’s pleasure by reminding you of the facts that you have forgotten. The time has come for action, the time has come to break the silence, the time for struggle, and the time for the Khilafah so stand up and work to establish the Khilafah again.

O People of strength and invincibility: Hizb ut Tahrir invites you to give it support in order to establish the Khilafah Rashidah State. Hizb ut Tahrir invites you to be partners in this great good, so go ahead, let your trust be on Allah (swt) Alone, not on the United States, the European Union and NATO, and let your destination be Islam and the Messenger of Allah (saw) not Europe or Russia. Will you not respond to this call that will give you strength, immunity, and glory once more for the sake of Allah (swt) and Islam.
