Re-establishing The Khilafah State is the Only Way to free ourselves from the Oppression of the Western Colonial Powers

Allah (SWT) from the beginning of creation has ordained two paths for mankind. The path of Iman in Allah (SWT), His Messengers, His Revelations, Akhirah, The Day of Judgment, Jannah and Jahannam, and the path of disbelief and Kufr.

Today the conflict between these two paths i.e. between Iman and Kufr has reached global proportions - it is a conflict between the Muslim Ummah and the forces of disbelief and kufr represented by America and the West. The current aggression of America against the Muslims of Iraq is another chapter in the campaign of the Western powers to brutally murder the Muslims, occupy the Muslim lands, devour our resources and spread their kufr, capitalist way of life into our lands.

In this latest crisis, America and Britain have been using the issue of Weapons of Mass destruction and Saddam's violation of UN resolutions as the pretext to wage this heinous war. While these allegations are branded about to create international public opinion it has become all too obvious that the real motive is to ensure America's dominance in the Gulf and to divide and capture the huge oil reserves of Iraq. To this date America is the only country that has used nuclear weapons to kill millions of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and chemical weapons in Vietnam. America and the international community have blatantly ignored the flouting of 100's of UN resolutions by Israel and the killing of thousands of innocent Muslims there. Furthermore, the US calls for diplomacy with North Korea, which has openly stated its nuclear ambitions! These unashamed contradictions have exposed the true role of the UN Security Council as an organization that is no more than a club for the permanent member countries to divide the resources and spoils of the Muslim lands.

After the destruction of the Soviet Union, America and the Western powers have embarked on a relentless campaign to spread the Capitalist ideology as a system of life throughout the world. This capitalist way of life is based upon the separation of Deen from life's affairs. Man is sovereign and his fundamental purpose in life is to seek benefit and enjoyment. This philosophy is what drives the capitalist countries, the head of which is America. The current so called 'War on Terror' is used by America, Britain, Israel, India and others as an excuse to further their colonial foreign policy interests. They have only one objective to pursue in foreign affairs i.e. the fulfillment of their greed, the desire to control the resources of the Muslim lands and to prevent the Muslims from liberating themselves by adopting Islam as an ideology for society and state. Today Islam is the only ideological threat to the Capitalist countries.

America and her allies are waging a global propaganda campaign to prevent the Muslims from adopting Islam as the only correct ideology from Allah (SWT). This was clear when Bush said in his speech on the 16/9/2001 "the American people have begun to understand this crusade". Every Muslim who wants to live according to the Ahkam Shariah of Allah (SWT), is labeled a 'fundamentalist' and a 'terrorist' while they present themselves as peacemakers. The reality is that they are the real terrorists who fanatically use their whole state machinery of missiles, tanks and armies to butcher hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians from Iraq to Palestine to Kashmir for the sake of their selfish interests.

"And when it is said to them "Make not mischief on the earth", they say: "We are only peacemakers" Verily they are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not" [TMQ 2: 11-12]

They preach secularism and democracy so that Allah (SWT) is kept within the masjids, munajats and Ramadhan, while their man made ideas, values, laws and systems ie capitalism controls our political, economic and social systems. Like all the other Muslim lands Bangladesh is also subjected to this campaign. Allah (SWT) warned us of this campaign:

"The disbelievers spend their wealth to hinder men from the path of Allah" [TMQ 8:36]

The ideas of secularism, capitalism and democracy have been recycled in Bangladesh for the last thirty years. Have we produced a decent and livable society? Uncontrolled crime, corruption, extreme inequality and dependency on other nations are the direct result of our acceptance of these kufr values and concepts.

Islam and Capitalism/secularism can never co-exist. Our love for Allah (SWT) and His Messenger  makes it haram to keep silent while man made kufr ideas and solutions exist in society. Islam obliges us to accept the Sovereignty of Allah (SWT) in all of life's affairs from the individual to social, economic and political affairs.

Allah (SWT) tells us and warns us:

"Whatever the Messenger gives you take it. And whatever he  forbids you abstain from it" [TMQ 59:7]

"Then is it only a part of the Book that you believe in, and do you deny a part? What is the reward of those among you who do so, except disgrace in this life? And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty." [TMQ 2:85]

Oh Muslims, Oh people of influence,

Today the time has come for us to take a decision - to totally accept Islam in our lives and society and realize the reality of this struggle between Islam and kufr. How can we claim to love Allah (SWT) and His Messenger and be true followers of Rasool Allah  if we ignore the kufr ideas, emotions and activities that are widespread in our society? We cannot remain indifferent to this struggle, which is connected with our very iman. Ignoring our responsibility means aiding and helping the destruction of our society. The time has come for us to be on the side of the Messenger of Allah , his great Sahabas (ra) and those sincere Muslims who have struggled against kufr throughout the ages. It is only they who will be successful in this life and the Hereafter.

With more than a sixth of the world's population, massive land mass and huge resources, we the Muslim Ummah remain as helpless orphans when our lands and peoples are attacked. This is because our countries are enslaved to the dictates of the Western thoughts, systems and policies. The kafir countries conspire to control our lands not only militarily but also politically, economically and even intellectually. If we truly feel the pain of the Muslims in Iraq and anger towards America and her allies it means to work to uproot their influence from our lands. Our duty in Bangladesh is to actively work following the method of Rasool Allah  to liberate ourselves from the influence of the kufr capitalist countries by an intellectual and ideological struggle. This means to challenge the Western kufr thoughts and systems and establish Islam as a comprehensive ideology, which provides solutions for the current problems in society.

Today there is only one vital issue for the Muslims. That is the work to build the Muslim society on the foundation of the Islamic Aqeeda and reestablish the Islamic Khilafah State that will give the true leadership to the Muslim Ummah protecting her blood, honour and resources. Allah (SWT) promises the believers who struggle in His path of His support and victory.

"If you support the cause of Allah (His Deen), He will help you and make your feet firm" [TMQ 47:7]
