Press Release
Obituary of a Dawah Carrier to Establish the Khilafah State

[مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً]

“Among the believers are men who have proven true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge ˹with their lives˺, others are waiting ˹their turn˺. They have never changed ˹their commitment˺ in the least.” [Al-Ahzab 33:23]
(Translated)

Yesterday, Tuesday morning, the first of Dhu al-Qi'dah 1446 AH, corresponding to April 29, 2025, Hajri Saeed Hamoud Sarhan (Abu Luay), a native of Sharab ar-Rawnah, Taiz Governorate, passed away at the age of thirty-six. He died of a terminal illness, which he had battled for years. He spent his life in Egypt, where he had gone for medical treatment due to the poor care provided by the criminal rulers of Yemen, which had left the country without any means of care. He spent part of his life carrying the dawah within the ranks of Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) based on the method of the Prophethood.

We know for certain, as we mourn you, Abu Luay, with tongues barely able to speak, and hearts grieving your loss and separation. You, like your brothers, the bearers of the call around the world, have longed to see your life end and your departure from this world, until you see the banner of the Eagle fluttering in the heavens of this world. Until the people of power and strength, the Muslims gave bayah (pledged allegiance) to a Khilafah Rashidah, who will mobilize armies and rally Muslims toward Gaza to cleanse it of the filth of the Jews, raising the banner of the Khilafah over Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Quds, the capital of the Khilafah State, fulfilling the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw), regarding the Quds as

«عُقْرُ دَارِ الْإِسْلَامِ»

“the heartland of Islam.”

The eye sheds tears, the heart grieves, and we, Abu Luay, are saddened by your departure, and we say only what pleases Allah Almighty:

[إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ]

“Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will ˹all˺ return”, believing in Allah's will and destiny, we are determined that Allah will eventually unite us with you in Paradise, as wide as the heavens and the earth, with our Prophet and Master Muhammad (saw), the master of the children of Adam, and the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous and excellent are those companions.

O Allah, have mercy on Your servant, honor his abode, widen his entrance, and replace his home with a better one, his family with a better one, and unite us and him under the banner of Your beloved Muhammad on the Day of Resurrection. May Allah cover you, my beloved, with mercy, forgiveness, and contentment, and inspire us, your family, and your loved ones with patience and solace.

[إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ]

“Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will ˹all˺ return.”
