Ma salaam
Eid Mubarak from Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain
Dear Brothers and Sisters
Asalamu alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
All praise is due to Allah (SWT) who has blessed this Ummah and brought her together on the day of Eid ul Adha.
All praise is due to Allah (SWT) who has blessed us with the opportunity to celebrate this day of Eid with our families, friends and community. May Allah (SWT) accept our fasting, our duas and sacrifice. Ameen.
The occasion of Hajj reminds us of the great sacrifice made by Ibrahim (AS) when he responded to the command of Allah
‘Father, do as you are bidden. Allah willing, you shall find me faithful.’ And when they had both surrendered themselves to Allah’s will, and Ibrahim had laid down his son prostrate upon his face, We called out to him saying: ‘Ibrahim, you have fulfilled your vision.’ Thus did we reward the righteous. That was indeed a bitter test. We ransomed his son with a noble sacrifice and bestowed on him the praise of later generations. ‘Peace be on Ibrahim!’ Thus are the righteous rewarded. He was one of Our believing servants.
(Translated meaning of Surah 37;83)
It also reminds us of the enormous diversity of races, languages and colours of this Ummah and the unique ability of Islam to free humanity from the narrowness of tribe and race to the vastness of the worship of the one Allah (SWT). It reminds us of the famous hadith of the Prophet (SAW) when he described the Ummah as one body.
The occasion of the Hajj also reminds us of the enormous challenges facing this Ummah. The ongoing occupation of our lands in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kashmir, the propaganda against Islam, the economic crises and the dysfunctional and corrupt politics in our countries.
This is a time when we need to reflect on the lessons of the Hajj to solve the problems we face as an Ummah.
If millions of people from different tribes, races and nations can come together in the Hajj and perform the rituals of the Hajj exemplifying the inherent unity in this Ummah why is it that we are weak and divided around the world? Today the hujjaj gathering in Makkah do not identify themselves as Saudis, Pakistanis, Indonesians or Sudanese. They only identify themselves as Muslims. Why cannot this unique ’spiritual unity’ of the Ummah be translated into political unity especially when this is an obligation on this Ummah in the same way the Hajj is?
Today the Ummah gathering in Makkah are like sheep without a shepherd. Rather than a shepherd who takes care of his flock we are led by wolves who only seek our destruction! What is missing today is an Islamic leader who will lead this Ummah in unity.
Brothers and Sisters
The sacrifices we have made this month: the fasts, the sadaqah, the qurbani, the efforts of the hujjaj to perfom the Hajj - are all part of achieving the reward from Allah (SWT). Similarly to see this Ummah united under one leader and one state addressing our problems from a position of strength requires sacrifice and struggle.
We call upon you, as you celebrate the bounties of Allah this Eid ul-Adha, to embark on a similar sacrifice and struggle to bring this practical unity in the Ummah. As we follow the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet SAW in fasting the days of Dhul Hijjah, performing the rituals of the Hajj, let us follow the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW in changing the corruption in our societies and countries and establish a new society, a new politics, a new State based on the Qur’an and Sunnah as our Prophet SAW did in Madinah 1400 years ago – this is the work for the Khilafah that we in Hizb ut-Tahrir call you to.
Alhmadulliah with every year more and more people from Indonesia to Pakistan, from Uzbekistan to Palestine, from Turkey and Egypt to Sudan are embracing this call for unity of this Ummah under one State and one leader. We pray to Allah SWT that He strengthens this movement in this Ummah so that next year our Hajj and Eid prayers are no longer led by illegitimate rulers but by a Khalifah who pledges to rule us according to the Qur’an and Sunnah and pledges to put forward a vision and direction for the Muslim Ummah.
Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: ‘They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. ‘If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.
(Translated meaning Surah An-Nur 24:55)

Amazing how they kidnapped Christianity from Jesus ( pbuh )
Christianity is now officially confirmed to a point that no one can claim they are truly following the teachings of Jesus (pbuh) from anyone accept the family of Jesus(pbuh) who knew him best.
Paul became Christian at Death ??? thats just amazing how not many know this, yet he has a Gospel in the bible ? how could that happen ?
Christianity kiddnapped | Comment (0)Did Jesus die on the cross ?
If Jesus is not responsible for our sins, why would God allow him to die.
No one saw Jesus die on the cross. Several Bibles and passages say he did not die:
Bible of Barnabas: “The face of Yehuda who led the soldiers to arrest Christ was transfigured into that of Christ who had been rescued by the Angels through the window to the third Heaven.”
Also the Bibles of Basilidains, Docetae, The Marcionite Gospel.
Here brothers and sisters you have 4 chosen and recognized Bibles, also Luke 20:34-36, 24:36-41, Hebrew 5:7 and John 20:17 support Jesus was saved.
The Bible says that Jesus did not die on the cross, that his loving creator saved Jesus from the cross as confirmed in the Koran. God loves Jesus.
Would a compassionate, forgiving, merciful God allow his anointed Jesus to die??
* To say he was sacrificed for us, opposes the Bible’s teachings (Hosea6:6) and (Matthew 9:13 and 12:7).
* To say he died on the cross, discredits his prophethood (Deuteronomy 13:5) and (21:22-23).
The Jews claimed they killed him to prove he was a false prophet which they still believe. The Koran is here to unite the Jews and Christians and to have them submit their will to God, to be Muslims.
Where is the information on sacrifice coming from?
Paul, who was a Jew and his belief in Jewish sacrifice was transported into Christianity as suggested by a renowned New Testament scholar V. Taylor “The Atonement in the New Testament Teaching.” Paul developed the idea by sending letters to the Corinthians, the Romans 4:25, He told the Galatians 6:4., and Ephesians 5:2, read the history yourself. Christianity is the teaching of Paul, not Jesus.
Who are we to believe??
Jesus came to confirm the Torah, not to destroy it (Matthew 23:2-3).
While Paul abolished the teachings of the Torah (Acts 13:39).
What hour was Jesus crucified??
(Mark 15:25) It was the third hour, and they crucified him.
(John 19:14) It was the sixth hour, and he was not yet crucified
Who bore the cross??
(Matthew 27:32) The compelled Simon to bear the cross of Jesus./ also(Luke 23:26)& (Mark 15:21).
(John 19:17) Jesus was bearing his cross himself.
What did they put Jesus on??
(Mark 15:21) They put Jesus on the cross.
(Peter 2:24) They put Jesus on the tree./ also (Gal3:13)
What did they give Jesus to drink??
(Mark 15:23) They gave him wine mingled with myrrh to drink.
(Matthew 27:34) Thew gave him vinegar mingled with gall to drink.
What happened to Judas??
(Mat 27:5) Judas went and hanged himself.
(Acts 1:18) Judas fell headlong, and burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Many earlier sects of Christians believed that it was Judas who died in the place of Jesus, with the contradictions at hand, maybe those earlier Christians were right.
Who went to the grave of Jesus??
(John 20:1) Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
(Mat 28:1) Mary Mag-da-le-ne and another Mary.
(Luke 24:10) Mary Mag-da-le-ne and another Mary and Jo’an-na and some other women.
(Mark 16:1) Mary Mag-da-le-ne and another Mary and Sa-lo’-me.
Angel??
(John 20:12) One woman saw two angels at the grave of Jesus.
(Mat 28:2) Two women saw one angel.
(Luke 24:3) Three women saw two men.
(Mark 16:5) Three women saw one man.
Who was told??
(Luke 24:9) Mary the Mag-da-le and Mary the Mother of James and Jo’an-na returned back from the grave and told the eleven apostles all of what they saw.
(Mark 16:8) Mary the Mag-da-le and Mary and Sa-lo’-me returned
back from the grave, and did not tell anyone anything because
they were afraid.
During the time of the assumed crucifixion, as you see, was a time of confusion, because no one saw Jesus die. (Matthew 26:56)
But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might
fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.”
So the Qur’an says: 4:157
“That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, butonly conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:”
When Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his son, his son did not object or question him, if Jesus was sent to be sacrificed for our sins, why would he question God?
(Matthew 27:46): “.. . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Could this not come from someone other than Jesus? Even a Non Prophet would smile at agony as he knew that his death would win him the title of martyr.
Was this not an insult to Jesus in not having faith in Allah?
The sacrifice that has to be made to be forgiven for our sins is the sacrifice of our will to the Creator Allah, as confirmed in the Bible.
Not only do we rely on faith, but also action and reality all combined.We believe in the same God, you have been taught by the recipients of your hard earned 10% of your income tithing that the Koran is not the word of God, that is sad, because then you would learn as every chapter begins “God is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”
In Islam, only 3% of your income goes straight to the poor, such as a relative. None is required to go the Church or Mosque. 3% of the wheat in the world would feed all the starving.
