From
Global Watch: 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.
