Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami
(Islamic Party of
Liberation)
From the Christian
point of view the Islamic Liberation Party is
looking to liberate the worlds non-Muslim
population of their chosen religion.
This is simply one of many Muslim groups that are
being led by Satan and the spirit of antichrist
to make ready for the annihilation of Israel as
a state. Keep in mind that The Antichrist will
rise to power brokering a "Peace Treaty" between
Israel and Muslim states in the Mideast. This
can only happen when it looks like the 11th hour
before all hell is unleashed on Israel.
Ironically the "Peace Deal" will lull a false
peace and a following of the "peace maker" by
Jews who will believe he's their long awaited
for messiah, (equally the Muslims will believe
he is theirs too.). So in fact all hell will be
unleashed in the Mideast and the entire world
soon into the "Peace Treaty". |

Rights or freedoms
Two areas in which Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects the
notion of freedom are religion and economics.
Article 7 of its Draft Constitution declares
that Muslims who "have by themselves renounced
Islam ... are guilty of apostasy (murtad) from
Islam [and] are to be executed." David Commins
of Department of History at Dickinson College,
writes that according to Hizb ut-Tahrir,
"individuals do not have absolute freedom as in
capitalism: Apostasy, adultery, alcohol, and
certain economic practices are forbidden. But
within well-recognized bounds, the Muslim enjoys
much freedom.
Many freedoms are included in the Hizb ut-Tahrir
party's draft constitution. It argues that
"there is no such thing as a clergy in Islam",
that "every Muslim has the right to perform
ijtihad" (personal exertion to derive hold
opinions in Islamic law), and that "every thing
or object is permitted, unless there is an
evidence of prohibition" in the Qur'an. It is
incumbent on Muslims to implement the hudud law,
divinely ordained capital punishment for certain
crimes. Hizb ut-Tahrir's constitution states
that "every individual is innocent until proven
guilty", "no person shall be punished without a
court sentence" and that "torture is absolutely
forbidden and whoever inflicts torture on anyone
shall be punished." Article 7 of the
constitution institutes capital punishment for
ridda (see ridda article for various
definitions). It maintains that under the
caliphate, "Arabic is the language of Islam and
the sole language of the state."
The only sources of legislation to be considered
divine and statutory, and therefore to be
accepted without debate, according to Article
12, are those based upon fair interpretations of
the Qur'an, the Sunnah, consensus of the
companions (Ijma al-Sahaba), and legitimate
analogies (Qiyas) from the previous three.
The West
Hizb ut-Tahrir opposes any Western influence in
the Muslim world. Its founder, Nabhani, has been
described as preaching that "British plots in
particular and western imperialist conspiracies
in general pervade the modern history of the
Muslim world and ultimately explain its main
lines of political evolution."[ In his book, The
System of Islam, which is studied by all Hizb
ut-Tahrir members, Nabhani states:
"If not for the influence of the deceptive
Western culture and the oppression of its agents
that will soon vanish, then the return to the
domain of Islam in its ideology and system would
be quicker than the blink of an eye."
According to the same book, the Muslim world has
not lagged behind the West, East Asia, the Hindu
or any other non-Muslim society because it has
failed to borrow some political, cultural or
social concepts of the West, but because it has.
Muslim stagnation commenced the day they
abandoned this adherence to Islam and ...
allowed the foreign culture to enter their lands
and the Western concepts to occupy their minds.
Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia spokesperson, Ismail
Yusanto said to Nikolas van Dam, the Dutch
ambassador for Indonesia that the Dutch
government is responsible for the Fitna (film)
of Geert Wilders and said aslim taslam.
Women
The Hizb ut-Tahrir draft constitution states,
"the primary role of a woman is that of a mother
and wife. She is an honour ('ird) that must be
protected.". Unlike some Muslim traditionalists,
Hizb ut-Tahrir, advocates women's suffrage or
right to vote (i.e. Muslim women, as only
Muslims have the right to vote for the Caliph),
the right of Muslim women to choose a Muslim
partner freely (Muslim women are not allowed to
marry non-Muslim men), right to seek employment,
have custody of children after divorce even if
she is not Muslim[54]), and run in elections.
However, Hizb ut-Tahrir believe Islam forbids
women from ruling positions such as caliph,
Chief Justice,[55] provincial governor, or mayor
citing Prophetic traditions. Article 109 of the
party's draft constitution prescribes
segregation of the sexes in public activities
such as school, sporting activities, etc. Muslim
women would be required to hide “their
charms,”[56] i.e. their body with the exception
of hands and face, so dress in accordance with
khimar and jilbab,[57] although not necessarily
with the niqab favoured by more fundamentalist
movements. Article 114 of the constitution
specifies that women should not be allowed to be
in private with men other than their husband or
members of their immediate family (father,
brother, son). Article 116 stipulates that once
married a woman is obliged to obey her husband.
While opponents may consider this unequal
status, Hizb ut-Tahrir maintains Women in the
Khilafah are not regarded as inferior or second
class citizens. Islam gave women the right to
wealth, property rights, rights over marriage
and divorce as well as a place in society. Islam
established a public dress code for women – the
Khimar and Jilbab in order to establish a
productive society free from the type of
negative and harmful relationships prevalent in
the west.
Zionism
Hizb ut-Tahrir strongly opposes Zionism and the
state of Israel. Statements by Hizb ut-Tahrir
differ on what its position toward Israel and
the Jews. "Palestine – why only a one state
solution will work," pledges Hizb ut-Tahrir
support for a "one state solution" for Israel
and the Palestinians. However, by the phrase
"one state solution" Hizb ut-Tahrir does not
mean a united secular state, but rather, making
Palestine part of the united Islamic caliphate
state where everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims
alike, follow statutory
shariah
Islamic law.
Other statements by Hizb ut-Tahrir and officials
have been less temporate. A 1999 statement
refering to Arab rulers making peace deals with
Israel under pressure from the US, removed from
the Hizb ut-Tahrir website, includes the
statement "In origin, no one likes the Jews
except the Jews. Even they themselves rarely
like each other"
From Global Security
Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami (Islamic Party of Liberation) a
radical Islamic political movement that seeks 'implementation of pure Islamic
doctrine' and the creation of an Islamic caliphate in Central Asia. The group's
aim is to resume the Islamic way of life and to convey the Islamic da’wah to the
world. The ultimate goal of this secretive sectarian group is to unite the
entire ummah, or Islamic world community, into a single caliphate. The aim is to
bring the Muslims back to living an Islamic way of life in 'Dar al-Islam' [the
land where the rules of Islam are being implemented, as opposed to the
non-Islamic world] and in an Islamic society such that all life's affairs in
society are administered according to the Shariah rules.
Its basic aim was struggle with infidels and the
organization of a universal caliphate embracing all Islamic countries. This
objective means bringing the Muslims back to living an Islamic way of life in
Dar al-Islam and in an Islamic society such that all of life’s affairs in
society are administered according to the Shari’ah rules, and the viewpoint in
it is the halal and the haram under the shade of the Islamic State, which is the
Khilafah State. That state is the one in which Muslims appoint a Khaleefah and
give him the bay’ah to listen and obey on condition that he rules according to
the Book of Allah (swt) and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and on
condition that he conveys Islam as a message to the world through da’wah and
jihad.
The work of Hizb ut-Tahrir is to carry the Islamic da’wah
in order to change the situation of the corrupt society so that it is
transformed into an Islamic society. It aims to do this by firstly changing the
society’s existing thoughts to Islamic thoughts so that such thoughts become the
public opinion among the people, who are then driven to implement and act upon
them. The political struggle is manifested in the struggle against the
disbelieving imperialists, to deliver the Ummah from their domination and to
liberate her from their influence by uprooting their intellectual, cultural,
political, economic and military roots from all of the Muslim countries. The
political struggle also appears in challenging the rulers, revealing their
treasons and conspiracies against the Ummah, and by taking them to task and
changing them if they denied the rights of the Ummah, or refrained from
performing their duties towards her, or ignored any matter of her affairs, or
violated the laws of Islam.

Hizb
ut-Tahrir is an international pan-Islamist, Sunni,
vanguard political party whose goal is to combine all
Muslim countries in a unitary Islamic state or
caliphate, ruled by Islamic law and with a caliph head
of state elected by Muslims.
Taqiuddin al-Nabhani, an Islamic scholar and appeals
court judge (Qadi) from Ijzim, founded the organization
in 1953 in Jerusalem. Since then Hizb ut-Tahrir has
spread to more than 40 countries, and by one estimate
has about one million members. Hizb ut-Tahrir is very
active in the west, particularly in the United Kingdom,
and is also active in several Arab and Central Asian
countries, despite being banned by most of the local
governments.
Hizb ut-Tahrir believes a caliphate "will provide
stability and security to all the people of the region,
Muslims and Non-Muslims". The party promotes "an
elaborate and detailed program for instituting an
Islamist state" that will "establish the laws of the
Islamic Shariah and
to carry the Da'wah of Islam to the world." It believes
this "comprehensive solution" will provide "sincere
leadership that cares for and protects its citizens from
the colonial foreign policies of Bush and Blair" and
bring an end to "US interventions, energy inspired wars,
puppet (Muslim) governments and western values forced by
the barrel of a gun." Hizb ut-Tahrir is strongly
anti-Zionist and calls for "the dismantling" of the
"illegal entity" of Israel.
Hizb ut-Tahrir has generated mixed opinions. Some
observers believe it is a victim of unjust and untrue
allegations of connections to terrorism. Others argue
its stated opposition to violence is tactical and
temporary, and it works to create an atmosphere
conducive to terrorism by preaching hatred and by
actions such as calling suicide bombers "martyrs" and
talking of the need to "destroy the new crusaders," i.e.
Western troops in Iraq.
Policies
Defence
Article 56 of the draft constitution of the proposed
state describes conscription as a compulsory individual
duty, for all citizens. "Every male Muslim, fifteen
years and over, is obliged to undergo military training
in readiness for jihad." Responsibility for defense in
the state would go to the Amir al-Jihad. In Hizb
ut-Tahrir's vision of the caliphate, the Amir al-Jihad
"is the supervisor and director" of four departments
comprising "the army, the police, equipment, tasks,
armament supplies," internal security, foreign affairs,
and finally industry — since "all factories of whatever
type should be established on the basis of the military
policy." However, the Khaleefah [Caliph], not the Amir
al-Jihad, is the leader of the army, he appoints the
commander-in-chief, a general for each brigade and a
commander for each division."
Democracy
Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects democracy as a western system and
unislamic despite aspects of it such as elections
existing in the Islamic political system. Hizb ut-Tahrir
argues democracy as a system is the rule of people, for
the people, by the people. The basis of the democratic
system is that people possess the right of sovereignty,
choice and implementation. ... it is a Kufr system
because it is laid down by man and it is not from the
Shari'ah Laws.
However as a Sunni Muslim organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir
believes the Caliph, i.e. the head of the Caliphate
state, should be elected and should be accountable to
those who have appointed him. The position should not be
inherited through blood lines or imposed on Muslims, but
elected by them. Muslims should then pledge their
loyalty to the Caliph. The Caliph "is the head of state
in the Khilafah. He is not a king or dictator but an
elected leader whose authority to rule must be given
willingly by the Muslims through a special ruling
contact called baya. Without this baya he cannot be the
head of state. This is completely opposite to a king or
dictator who imposes his authority through coercion and
force. It argues the tyrant kings and dictators in the
Muslim world are examples of this, imprisoning and
torturing their populations and stealing their wealth
and resources."
HT favor a system of elections for Muslims to chose the
Caliph.
Also part of the Hizb ut-Tahrir proposed draft
constitution is a Majlis al-Umma for the Caliph, an
institution for consultation and accountability of
political rulers.
The founder of Hizb ut-Tahrir, Taqiuddin an-Nabhani, is
careful to note that Shura differs from Western
representative democracy in that while part of the "the
ruling structure" of the Islamic caliphate, it's "not
one of its pillars."
This is because the shura (consultation) in Islam is for
seeking the opinion and not for ruling. This is contrary
to the parliamentary system in democracy.
In another book Nabhani elaborates further, stating that
when the Majlis makes a decision after the Caliph
consults them it is binding on the Caliph to accept the
decision; the Caliph's powers outlined in the draft
proposed constitution refer only to foreign affairs when
in a state of war that he considered existent during his
life.
Economy
The draft constitution also details an economic system
that allows private enterprise, but reserves public
ownership of utilities, public transport, health care,
energy resources such as oil, and unused farm land
(similar to moderate forms of Socialism). Similar to
conservative economic principles it calls for use of the
Gold Standard, gold and silver coinage. The draft
constitution gives quite specific instructions for the
gold and silver weight of the coins, arguing
... it is the duty of the Khilafah State to make its
currency in gold and silver and to work on the basis of
gold and silver as it was during the time of the
Messenger of Allah and his Khulafa'a after him ... to
fix the weight of dinars equal to the Shari'ah dinar or
4.25 grams (of Gold) for one dinar ... the dirham has
the weight of 2.975 grams (of Silver). The basis of gold
and silver as currency is the only way to solve currency
related economic problems and the high inflation rates
that are common in the world, and to produce currency
stability for rates of exchange and progress in
international trade. ... Only by taking gold and silver
as the standard, can the American control and the
control of the dollar as an international currency, be
demolished in international trade and world economies.
Non-Muslims
In Hizb ut-Tahrir's draft constitution for its unified
Islamic state, any non-Muslims living in the state may
not serve in any of the ruling offices, such as the
position of caliph, nor vote for these officials, as
these positions require those who fulfil them to believe
in the system. Muslims have "the right to participate in
the election of the Khaleefah [head of state] and in
giving him the pledge (ba'iah). Non-Muslims have no
right in this regard." However non-Muslims may voice
"complaints in respect to unjust acts performed by the
rulers or the misapplication of Islam upon them."
Hizb ut-Tahrir claims the rights of Jews and other
non-Muslims are enshrined within statuary Islamic Law (Sharia).
These were laid down by the Prophet Muhammad when he
established the first Islamic State in Medina in the 7th
century. He said, "Whoever harms a dhimmi (non-Muslim
citizen) has harmed me." ...
"Non-Muslims in the khilafah (caliphate) will have
established channels to air any grievances or denial of
their rights. All citizens will be empowered with the
right to speak out where necessary."
In regards to foreign policy,
Article 186 of the draft constitution states: "The State is forbidden to belong
to any organization that is based on something other than Islam or that applies
non-Islamic rules". This includes organizations such as the UN, the World Bank,
and the IMF and the Arab League. Article 185 of the draft constitution states:
"It is permitted to conclude good neighboring, economic, commercial, financial,
cultural and armistice treaties." |
