 “The Month of Ramadhan, in which the Qur’an was revealed, is guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadhan), he must fast that month, and whoever is ill or on in a state of travelling, then the missed days must be made up from other days. Allah intends for you ease and not difficulty. (He wants that you) complete the number of days and glorify Him for having guided you, and that you may be thankful to Him.” [Al-Baqarah: 185]
Alhamdulillah and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu
‘alayhi wasallam, and peace be upon his family, his companions, those
who gave their loyalty to him, and those who followed him, tracing his
steps and establishing the Islamic ‘Aqeeda as the foundation for their
thought, and the Ahkam Al-Shar’iyyah as the measure for judgment in
their actions and the source of their laws.
It was narrated by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih on the authority of Muhammed
Bin Ziyad, who said, “I heard Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with
him, say: ‘The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said’,
or he said, ‘Abu Al-Qasim (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: Fast when
you see it, and break your fast when you see it, and if you cannot see
it then complete 30 days of Sha’ban.’”
And after seeking the Hilal of the blessed month of Ramadhan on this
Saturday night, a legal (Shar’ee) sighting of the moon has NOT been
confirmed, and therefore Sunday will be the completion of 30 days of
Sha’ban inshaAllah. Monday will be the first day of the blessed month
of Ramadhan.
On this occasion, the Ameer of Hizb ut-Tahrir , the Alim ‘Ataa Bin
Khaleel Abu Al-Rashta, may Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) protect him,
asks Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) to honour the Islamic Ummah, to
establish her authority on this earth, to grant her a great victory,
healing the chests of the Believers. He prays that the sons of this
Islamic Ummah will show Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) what they can do of
good, standing as men and taking the task firmly and seriously, with
dedication, exhausting all efforts, working day and night for the
victory of this great Deen and its Da’wa carriers, for the
establishment of the second Khilafah Ar-Rashida inshaAllah.
He also prays to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) to honour us with the Ajr
(reward) of re-establishing the Khilafah; it fills his eyes and chest,
seeing it as if it is right before him. He gives glad tidings of its
imminence as his eyes look out to its coming: Victory from Allah
(subhanahu wa ta’ala) and a soon-coming conquest, and the Pleasure of
Allah is a far superior reward; the glad tidings will be for the
Believers.
“We will give victory to our Messengers and those who believe in the
worldly life and on the day witnesses stand (the afterlife)” [Ghaafir:
51]
The head of the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and all at Hizb ut Tahrir (Britain) , send their congratulations and warm wishes on
this blessed month, asking Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) to accept our
fasts, our Qiyam, our Rukoo’, our Sujood and all our other good deeds.
O Allah, allow us to complete Ramadhan and do not exclude us from its
reward; O Allah, make us amongst those saved by You on this month of
forgiveness and good things; O Allah, allow us to witness the night of
Al-Qadar and honour us with its reward; O Allah, unify the Islamic
Ummah and gather her under the shade of the flag of Al-‘Uqab, the flag
of the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam). Ameen, O
Allah, ameen.
Wa Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh.
