On the day Moammar Gadaffi was killed, Hizb ut-Tahrir addressed the brave people of Libya.
The message mentioned the following points:
It started by mentioning how the tyrant Gadaffi died in the most shameful way after he destroyed the land of Libya for forty years. As Allah (swt) reminds us
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْخِزْيَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
“So Allah gave them a taste of humiliation in the present life, but greater is the punishment of the hereafter, if they only knew” [TMQ Az-Zumar 39:26].
It mentions Assad and his tyrannical brother in Yemen and questions whether they are blind to the humiliation of Gadaffi or fail to realise that those who were more powerful than them have also been destroyed.
It addresses the ummah saying “O people of Libya, O Muslims” and recalls the many who were tortured, died and languished in the prison during the rule of Gadaffi. It gives glad tidings to the martyrs of Hizb ut-Tahrir who were brutally murdered by Gaddafi when they spoke the word of truth to his face. It gives glad tidings to the martyrs of the Muslims killed by Gadaffi in the dungeons and prisons. It gives glad tidings to “our people in Libya, the Muslims all over the world and the revolutionaries standing against oppressive tyrants everywhere.”
It addresses the people of Libya and the Muslims and says that in killing Gadaffi “you have made a new covenant with Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) so thank Him (swt) and praise Him (swt) as He should be praised” and warns them against letting the colonialists, and their agents, have a way over their affairs. It warns that failure to do so would betray the pure blood that was spilt and the sacrifices that were made in the land of the mujahideen that protected the Qur’an.
Hizb ut-Tahrir then asks the people of Libya to establish the Islamic state, the Khilafah rashidah, so that they will be happy and successful in this life and the next reminding them that “that is the great success”. It warned them not to be fooled by the slogans of the colonialists and their agents who call for ruling by the laws of man – instead of the laws of the Lord of man – under the pretext of democracy, civilised behaviour and secularism and said “If you did that you will be losers”. It said that the colonialists show you their mercy behind which they hide their poison! “You do not need their help” and reminded them that Allah (swt) has blessed Libya with abundant wealth “so be with Allah and fear Him”.
It concluded by saying “Hizb ut-Tahrir is from you and with you” and urges them to seek success under the shade of the Khilafah, under the flag of La illaha illallah Muhamadur rasul Allah, so that they may also have success under the shade of Allah (swt) in the hereafter, on the day when there will be no shade except His shade. It concluded by reminding them of the test they now face, quoting the ayah:
قَالَ عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ
“He said: ”It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you inheritors in the earth; so that He may see how you conduct yourselves.” [TMQ Al Araf 7:129]

It is essential that the Libyans do not let any outside influences hijack the course of events that have occurred in Libya.
The idea of a Muslim Ummah united should at the forefront, with any “tribal” nonsense put to one side.
May Allah (SWT) Help us.
Remember them in our Du’as Insha’Allah
Assalamu Alaikum,
In the name of Allah, Most merciful Most compassionate.
Thank you for yor message to the Libyan people. But I think your message came too late!. Where were you when the tyarant Gaddafi was maiming and torturing his opponents, sending innocent people to prisons and killing everyone who said No to him, over the last four decades?. Where were you when the tyrant was rediculing Islam and the Prophit Mohamed PBUH?, He even mis interprited the Holly Quran (saying: we need not say the word Qul in all the verses in which it was mentioned. like Qul hua Allhu Ahaad..). Where were you when the tyrant was supporting, Israel, India, Serfbia and all the enemies of Islam all over the world? The call for Khilafa is a good thing in an ideal Islamic world, but justice comes before that. Justice in our sayings, and in our behaviour. Because Islam is about doing, not just saying.
Alhamdu Lillah wassalatu wassalmu Ala Rasulu allah.
Wa alaikum as salam,
Thanks for your comment. Hizb ut-Tahrir has been active in Libya for decades challenging Gaddafi. I quote from an earlier leaflet we issued.
http://www.hizb.org.uk/current-affairs/gaddafi-war-on-islam
From the early 1970′s Gaddafi targeted and imprisoned members of HIzb ut-Tahrir – including the man who is the current Ameer, Shaykh Ata ibn Khaleel abu Rasha.
A delegation from Hizb ut-Tahrir met him in 1978 for 4 hours, after Gaddafi issued edicts denying the Sunnah, and presented a comprehensive communique refuting his position. The meeting and communiqué decisively addressed the falsehood of Gadaffi’s rejection of the Sunnah. The communiqué and details of the meeting were circulated widely.
Gaddafi was so incensed that he arrested hundreds. Many spent years in prison. Some were eventually released, but banned from ever studying in University. Eventually he arranged sham retrials and then murdered thirteen members; they were hanged in universities and schools in front of their teachers, pupils and families.
Wassalam,
The reins of the victory of Islam has been getting closer. Caliphate will soon be standing. Ya, إن شاء الله.
Muslims can help to bring down the house of Saud.This indeed will bring back humanity(the natural way of life-Islam.Boycott Saudi Arabia totally for 2 to 3 years.Stop flying with Saudia/Gulf Air/Emirates/Ethaid/Kuwait/PIA etc.
Postpone Hajj/Umarha for 2 to 3 years as well-UK alone would save £100.0 Million to be used for the poor in Uk,Muslims and non Muslims and for the Ummah in the so called Muslim world.Stop these differences between Shia/Sunni and start supporting the Iranian nation and the fredom fighters.
Yet another tyrant is forced to embrace the dustbin of history. It may have begun in spring but they’re falling off like autumn leaves. Indeed, for the despots, it’s all downhill from here.
However, there are still those die hard stooges (i.e., Bashar Al Assad of Syria) who just don’t get it. They remain deluded in thinking they can turn the CLOCKS BACK and dream of days when they will be able to drive their open-top motorcades in downtown Homs, through lines of mass supporters cheering and waving national flags as if Queen had come to town – and this AFTER their brutal regime having committed cold-blooded murders of innocent civilians in this very city!!!
They forget that even Gaddafi had his band of loyal supporters; but after his inevitable demise, not a single one of them wants to make himself known. Even Gaddafi’s remaining son, the Sword of Shay’tan, has realised the game is up, whilst attempting to negotiate a surrender to the ICC chiefs.
It’s a question of TIME.
the truth is that both the NTC and Gadaffi are all enemies of Allah(SWT) and his Messenger (SAW) . Gadaffi is a complete Zalimum because he suppresed Islam in Libya . However the NTC rebels are agent of the Judeo-Christian NATO . Remember the Quran 5:51 , who ever allies with the jews is with them and Wallahu layadi kawmil Zalimum. this verse complete make the NTC a worse zalimum than Gadaffi this will be obvious in few years time.
