Press Release

Liberation of Occupied Kashmir is an Obligation (Fard)

Ramadhan is the Month of the Victory, Let it Witness the Return of the Dominance of Islam over the Oppressive Hindus

The Hindu State’s authorities enforced a curfew on 28 May 2017 across most of Occupied Kashmir during the blessed month of Ramadhan to suppress Muslim protests over the martyrdom of the Mujahid commander, Sabzar Ahmad Bhat, and a sixteen year old Mujahid, may Allah (swt) enter them both into His Jannah. Yet, thousands of brave Muslims defied the security forces to attend the Janaaza of their heroes, raising strong slogans inspired by Islamic sentiments. Moreover, the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir have been restless since the martyrdom of the 22 year old Mujahid, Burhan Wani, on 8 July 2016. They have endured injury, maiming and blinding by the oppressive Hindu occupying forces and many have embraced martyrdom.

O Muslims of Pakistan! Our Muslim brothers and sisters have been severely oppressed in Kashmir by the Indian occupying forces for seven decades. Seventy thousand Muslims have been martyred and clearly many more are ready for martyrdom. Yet, the Bajwa-Nawaz regime calls for “dialogue” and “normalization” of relations with the Hindu State, as if it is capable of peace and justice. Know that the Hindus are incapable of providing peace for Muslims, for they are Mushrikeen about whom Allah (swt) said in His Book, revealed in this blessed month of Ramadhan, ﴿لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا“You will find that the most severe in enmity against those who believe are the Jews and the Mushrikeen.” [Surah al-Maaida 5:82]. Know that the Hindus are incapable of providing justice for even their own lower castes, let alone the peoples of the many other religions found in the Indian Subcontinent. And know that it is only when Islam was dominant over the Indian Subcontinent, were Muslims secure from the hands of the Hindus and its inhabitants were granted justice, regardless of religion, status or ethnicity.

O Officers of Pakistan’s Armed Forces! As we hear of the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir and the oppression they endure, our eyes fill with tears and our hearts fill with rage. Here, we remind you of the historical speech of August 1099 CE, Ramadhan 492 Hijri, when the Qadi of Damascus, Abu Saad al-Harawi, related about the massacre of thousands of Muslims and the destruction of sacred places by the crusaders, rebuking the Muslims when they wept, by saying, “Man’s meanest weapon is to shed tears when rapiers stir the coals of war.” We remind you that you lead the armed forces of Pakistan, the Pure, the Good, which was established in the name of Islam on 27 Ramadhan 1366 AH, corresponding to 14 August 1947 CE, as a platform for all Muslims. We remind you that you are the forces of power and strength, that can rally the Muslims of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Occupied Kashmir, Afghanistan and the Muslims within India itself, who number more than half a billion collectively, as one powerful hand to end the Hindu oppression. And we remind you of all of this in this blessed month of Ramadhan, the month of victory for Islam, the month of the Battle of Badr, the Opening of Makkah and the victory of your predecessor, Muhammad bin Qassim over the Hindu Mushrikeen, laying the firm foundation of centuries of Islamic rule in this region.

Thus, Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan calls upon you to perform your Obligation (Fard) in response to the cries of the Muslim of Occupied Kashmir, who wrap the bodies of their martyred in the flag of Pakistan. It is upon you to respond now with your Imaan, blood, fire and steel, knowing that the two good matters, victory or martyrdom, await you. And your first step is to cut the chains of the Bawja-Nawaz regime that restrain you, by granting the Nussrah (Material Support) to Hizb ut Tahrir, under its Ameer, the eminent statesman and capable jurist, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu al-Rashtah, for the re-establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. We remind you and we call you and will never tire of doing so, until Allah (swt) raises us as witnesses for you, so when is it that you will respond?! Come forwards now in this blessed month and heal the wounded hearts of the believers, restoring Ramadhan as the month of victory against Kufr and its people.

﴿إِن يَنصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلاَ غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِن يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَن ذَا الَّذِى يَنصُرُكُم مِّنْ بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

“If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you. And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.” [Surah Aali-Imran 3:160]
