Inviting the Enemy of Allah, His Messenger, and the Muslims Warrants Allah's Wrath and Displeasure

Fear Allah, Mr. Prime Minister of Malaysia!

(Translated)

Hizb ut-Tahrir / Malaysia strongly condemns the invitation extended by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, whose hands are still stained with the blood of Muslims in Gaza, to Malaysia to attend the 47th meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur. This invitation is not merely a shameful diplomatic gesture devoid of any moral basis; rather, it is a grave insult to the dignity of this nation, and a betrayal that wounds the feelings of every Muslim who still holds honor close to their heart, especially the people of Palestine.

How can someone who claims to defend the people of Palestine invite their killer and the destroyer of their land to Muslim countries?! Where is our dignity when the enemy of Allah Almighty, the enemy of His Messenger ﷺ, and our enemy is received in our country with honor and celebration?! What value does an enemy of Islam like this possess to have the red carpet rolled out for him?! Who among the enemies of Allah today could be more despicable in the sight of Allah? Who is responsible for the death of more than 67,000 Muslims and the destruction of Gaza?! This Trump is not just an arrogant infidel; the blood of innocent Muslims has been shed on the soil of Gaza at his command, and he is very proud of that. He recognized Jerusalem, the first Qibla of Muslims, as the capital of the usurping Jewish entity. And with his signature, he enacted what is called the "Deal of the Century," a plan that denied the rights of the Palestinian people and effectively sought to erase Palestine from the world map. And now, once again, he announces what is called a "peace plan" on land that he has no legitimate right to at all. Does such a man deserve to be invited and honored in a country whose people testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?!

The Prime Minister of Malaysia seeks to cover up this disgrace with the cloak of the ASEAN chairmanship. We ask frankly: Is it the duty of the ASEAN chairmanship to extend such an invitation? On the contrary, refusing to invite the criminal Trump would have reflected a trace of dignity and courage. Whatever the pretexts, they do not hide the fact that this act stems from submission to and fear of America. Whereas true submission and reverence are due to Allah alone, not to His enemies.

Even more shameful is the claim that with Trump's presence, a message about Palestine can be conveyed to him directly! This is a very cynical assumption: Does a wolf that devours the flock listen to advice to have mercy on the sheep?! How absurd! How can we ask for a solution from the one who destroyed Gaza?! How can we raise our voices, or even accept a solution to our problem, from our enemy himself? Know, Mr. Prime Minister of Malaysia, that the solution to the Palestinian issue will not come from Donald Trump. The solution is in your hands, you and all the Muslim rulers; to mobilize your armies to uproot the Jewish entity from its roots. But unfortunately, you do not do that, but rather hand over the necks of the Palestinians to Trump and the Jews to slaughter them!

In fact, inviting Trump to this country not only provokes the wrath of Allah, but also jeopardizes the sovereignty of the country itself. Once he arrives, we will not exercise full control over aspects of the state's security apparatus: the police, the army, the immigration authorities, and the entire security establishment will be redistributed to ensure the protection of a man responsible for the death of more than 67,000 Muslims, in order to prevent even a speck of dust from touching him. This is a grave insult: the murderer of infants, children, women, and the elderly is treated with more respect than even the king! Allah Almighty said: ﴿O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies﴾.

Mr. Prime Minister of Malaysia: Know that by inviting Trump to your country, seating him in your مجلس, and taking pictures with him, you will not gain an atom's weight of honor, for all honor belongs to Allah. Let those who seek to improve their reputation in the eyes of the enemies of Allah know that they are considered humiliated in the eyes of true believers, and that their disgrace before Allah Almighty is greater. ﴿Do they seek عزّة [power, honor and glory] with them? Then verily, all عزّة [power, honor and glory] belongs to Allah.﴾.

Furthermore, there is no practical difference between inviting Trump and inviting Netanyahu to this country, as both are warlike infidels and enemies of Islam, of Allah, His Messenger, and the Muslims. Both are dirty criminals, but Trump feels arrogant because the Muslim rulers have chosen to glorify him; how vile they are!

Hizb ut-Tahrir is working to establish the second righteous Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood, which will teach America and the Jewish entity the true meaning of friendship and enmity. Then, the enemies of Allah Almighty will live in humiliation in this world, before tasting the humiliation of the Hereafter at the hands of Allah Almighty.
