Abu Wadaha News: Assaults by (Tisa Tawila) Will Only Be Eliminated by Applying Sharia Punishments Under the Caliphate
Press Release
Habiba Al-Amin, a journalist for the Kush News website, was seriously attacked by individuals belonging to the "Tisa Tawila" gang in the Transit area of Port Sudan, while returning from media coverage with a number of her colleagues. This is just one incident of many robberies, looting, and killings inside cities that are supposed to be safe, such as in Omdurman and Khartoum, and now in the administrative capital, Port Sudan. These are cities under the control of the government and its security apparatus.
However, criminals are attacking with boldness, as if they are confident that the government's hand will not reach them, and if it does, they are reassured by the weakness of the deterrent punishment, despite the magnitude of the crime committed.
No one disagrees that the spread of crime can only be deterred by establishing Sharia punishments. The Sharia principle is that (Hudud are deterrents and atonements); they are deterrents from committing crimes, and forgiveness for those upon whom the punishment is applied, atoning for the torment of the Hereafter.
It was narrated from Abdullah bin Umar who said: "The Prophet ﷺ cut off (the hand) for a shield worth three dirhams." Narrated by Ibn Majah, and the wording is his, and narrated by Bukhari and Muslim. In another narration: "The Prophet ﷺ cut off the hand of a man who stole a shield from the women's area, its price was three dirhams." Sahih Abi Dawood, Al-Nasa'i, and others.
As for those who terrorize the safe, and practice murder, rape, robbery, and looting, by force of arms, as is the case with (Tisa Tawila), the verses have come deterring and dissuading them. Allah Almighty said: ﴿Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.﴾ If the government had taken the initiative and applied one of God's limits, all criminals would have been deterred, but it seems that it is an honor it does not deserve, so we see it going around in circles, thinking that appointing a Minister of Interior, or deploying the police in the city center, or organizing preventive campaigns, will make a difference, but the situation is getting worse.
Sharia rulings are only applied under the Islamic state; the Rightly Guided Caliphate according to the method of Prophethood, as it alone deters criminals and dissuades them. As for democratic systems, they breed criminals, even create crime, and sponsor corruption, due to the weakness of penalties they have. They think they are more merciful to people than their Creator, and there is no sin after disbelief.
Will the people of power and strength in our country respond to the caller of Rahman, and give victory to Hizb ut-Tahrir, to hold the Sharia pledge of allegiance to a rightly guided Caliph, who establishes justice, spreads security, and deters criminals; big and small alike, in fulfillment of his saying ﷺ: "Indeed, the Imam is a shield, from behind whom you fight and by whom you are protected."?!
﴿O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life.﴾
