There is a lifeline for Sudan, so take it!

For more than a hundred years, the world has been led to believe that wars in Islamic countries, especially in African countries, are the result of their intellectual, political, and economic backwardness. They are portrayed to the world as incapable of managing their existence without the so-called assistance and intervention of the West. In fact, this lie only became true after the West began colonizing African countries, where they plundered these lands of their wealth, stripped them of their humanity, and not only blocked all opportunities for real progress, but also pushed their living conditions back to the era before the current calendar.

There is a lifeline for Sudan, so take it!

There is a lifeline for Sudan, so take it!

(Translated)

For more than a hundred years, the world has been led to believe that wars in Islamic countries, especially in African countries, are the result of their intellectual, political, and economic backwardness. They are portrayed to the world as incapable of managing their existence without the so-called assistance and intervention of the West. In fact, this lie only became true after the West began colonizing African countries, where they plundered these lands of their wealth, stripped them of their humanity, and not only blocked all opportunities for real progress, but also pushed their living conditions back to the era before the current calendar. They slaughtered entire tribes and civilizations, enslaved the remaining survivors, and carried thousands of its people to distant continents, even displaying them in human zoos, exploiting their lives, dignity, and cultures, not just their resources... And after a few hundred years, when slavery became too expensive compared to manufacturing, they granted these areas a fictitious freedom and a non-existent de facto independence within artificial borders they literally drew with a ruler and dressed in the structures of the national state. To ensure the sufficiency of these profitable "new factories," they built a safety net of international laws, agreements, and funding systems, etc., so that whenever changes occurred in the ownership of those factories, or new profits emerged, the unscrupulous colonial West would unleash its horses. This powerful leash was, and still is, their imposed corrupt ruling systems, enacted by their soulless, easily replaceable client rulers, who care only about the success and progress of their peoples. Their embassies and humanitarian organizations, and the like, were the long arm over these clients, ready to incite revolutions and coups, even genocide, fueled by tribalism, racism, and sectarianism - whatever and whenever Western interests saw fit. All this, while the entire world - mind you, not just the colonies - is being numbed by a narcotic and hallucinogenic drug called "democracy and secularism."

The capitalist West paid no attention to the value of man, for material gain is the ultimate good in its principle. Therefore, colonialism is the means by which the capitalist principle ensures its existence, protects itself, and spreads to others. Therefore, imposing military, political, economic, intellectual, and cultural hegemony over other peoples is vital to achieving its goals and desires. The bottom line of decades of colonial influence is that every regime of client regimes in our countries has led its country to another, more painful misery for the sake of the selfish, rivalry-filled whims of Western politics. We have witnessed this time and time again in Rwanda, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, and many other Islamic countries. Sudan was no exception. The list of deadly failures, economic, educational, cultural, and other systemic bribes of successive secular and democratic regimes can be followed for pages... Thus, the war in Sudan, with its accompanying political and economic disasters, is a product of this colonialism, where the British colonizer placed its tools within the political structures and armed movements, just as the American colonizer placed its tools within the Rapid Support Forces and others. Thus, this war is fueled by the competition of colonizers to dominate the country, each seeking to expel the other... Focusing on Sudan today, we see how Al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (Hemedti) have been blinded in their subservience to the West... to the point that they do not care about the sanctity of Muslim blood, but rather compete in brutality and tyranny in this senseless war, which has displaced more than 12 million people in their land, and driven them to hunger and thirst, using torture and execution, and even sexual violence against women and girls.

So who will end this war of the giants and save the land and its people?

We must remember that we are Muslims, and that Allah Almighty is the supreme power over this world. So, the first step is to rely on Allah alone, and not to rely at all on the colonizers, as Allah Almighty said: ﴿And Allah will never give the disbelievers a way [of authority] over the believers﴾. Therefore, the solution and cure for all the crises in Sudan and all Islamic countries is the great creed of Islam, for it is a creed and a way of life, which establishes an independent state with true sovereignty, and not a factory of slavery established within the borders of the colonial Sykes-Picot. The colonizers have stirred up regional and tribal divisions, a disease that can only be cured by Islam and nothing else. Throughout history, Islam has been the only force that has been able to unite different people into one nation. ﴿And brought their hearts together. Had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise.﴾.

That is because Islam is not just a religion, but a creed with a system of life and laws, and it is comprehensive, complete, smooth, and ideal. ﴿This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.﴾.

The authority to rule the people is not for the big criminals, murderers, and bloodletters, whose ultimate goal is to achieve worldly benefits to please their colonial masters. Ruling in Islam is only for the righteous, just, and pure people who protect and preserve the lives, wealth, and honor of Muslims and non-Muslims who are under their protection, because they realize that ruling is a responsibility and a trust, and that the Sharia requires them to be able to fulfill the duties of ruling. And because they follow the commands of Allah Almighty only, and not the desires of the capitalists as is the case in secular democratic systems, who confine the Lord of the Worlds to the worship of rituals: ﴿Legislation is not but for Allah . He relates the truth, and He is the best of deciders.﴾. And His saying: ﴿Legislation is not but for Allah . He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most people do not know.﴾.

And Islam will end all the wars of nationalism, tribalism, and sectarianism that the colonizers have fueled to achieve their exploitative colonial goals, because Muslims are one nation and one body! All the current wars in our countries, especially in Sudan, are only for the benefit of the disbelieving West, despite the warning of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Al-Ahnaf bin Qais narrated, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "When two Muslims meet with their swords, then the killer and the killed are in Hell." I said: O Messenger of Allah, this is the killer, but what about the killed? He said: "He was eager to kill his companion." (Narrated by Bukhari)

In conclusion, reviving the Islamic life, as embodied by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and as proven throughout Islamic history, is the only lifeline for Sudan and all Islamic countries. The Second Rightly Guided Caliphate on the method of Prophethood alone will break all the shackles of Western colonialism and uproot its tools from our countries. The implementation of Islam and its dissemination in the world is the lifeline that Hizb ut-Tahrir offers you free of charge. You will find all the solutions to all the crises and problems that have arisen as a result of decades of living under the control of Western civilization, in the constitution of the Caliphate state prepared by Hizb ut-Tahrir.

So take this lifeline as it is from Allah, the Lord of the Worlds: ﴿O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah comes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.﴾.

Do not be deceived by names, for the essence lies in actions, not lineage

Do not be deceived by names, for the essence lies in actions, not lineage

Every time we are presented with a "new symbol" with Muslim roots or Eastern features, many Muslims cheer, and hopes are built on an illusion called "political representation" in an infidel system that does not recognize Islam as a ruling system, a creed, or a law.

We all remember the overwhelming joy that swept through the feelings of many when Obama won in 2008. He is the son of Kenya, and he has a Muslim father! Here, some imagined that Islam and Muslims had become close to American influence, but Obama was one of the most harmful presidents to Muslims. He destroyed Libya, contributed to the tragedy of Syria, and ignited Afghanistan and Iraq with his planes and soldiers. Rather, he was the blood shedder in Yemen through his tools, and his era was a continuation of a systematic hostility against the nation.

Today, the scene is repeated, but with new names. Zohran Mamdani is celebrated because he is a Muslim, an immigrant, and a young man, as if he is the savior! But only a few look at his political and intellectual positions. This man is a strong supporter of homosexuals, participates in their activities, and considers their deviation a human right!

What a shame that people pin their hopes on this?! Wasn't it a repetition of the same political and intellectual disappointment that the nation has fallen into time and time again?! Yes, because it is captivated by appearance, not essence! Deceived by smiles, and deals with emotion, not creed, with names, not concepts, and with symbols, not principles!

This fascination with appearances and names is the result of the absence of legitimate political awareness, because Islam is not measured by origin, name, or race, but by commitment to the principle of Islam in its entirety; as a system, creed, and law. A Muslim who does not rule by Islam or support it has no value, but rather submits to the infidel capitalist system and justifies infidelity and deviations in the name of "freedom".

Let all Muslims who rejoiced in his victory and thought that he was a seed of good or the beginning of revival know that revival does not come from within systems of disbelief, nor with their tools, nor through their ballot boxes, nor under the ceiling of their constitutions.

Whoever presents himself through the democratic system, swears to respect its laws, then defends and celebrates homosexuality, and calls for what angers God, is not a supporter of Islam or a hope for the nation, but rather a tool for polishing and diluting, and a false representation that does not advance or delay anything.

The so-called political successes in the West for some personalities with Islamic names are nothing but crumbs presented as painkillers to the nation, to be told: Look, change is possible through our systems.

 So what is the reality of this "representation"?

The West does not open the doors of rule to Islam, but only opens them to those who identify with its values and ideas. Anyone who enters their system must accept their constitution and their man-made laws, and renounce the rule of Islam. If he agrees to that, he becomes an acceptable model, but the true Muslim is rejected by them from his roots.

So who is Zohran Mamdani? And why is this illusion being created?

He is a person who carries a Muslim name but adopts a deviant agenda that is completely contrary to the nature of Islam, from supporting homosexuals and promoting what is called their "rights". He is a living example of how the West makes its models: Muslim in name, secular in reality, a servant of the Western liberal agenda, nothing more. Rather, to distract the nation from its true path. Instead of demanding the state of Islam and the Caliphate, it is preoccupied with parliamentary seats and positions in systems of disbelief! Instead of heading to liberate Palestine, it waits for someone to "defend Gaza" from inside the American Congress or the European Parliament!

The truth of the matter is that this is a distortion of the true path of change, which is the establishment of the Rightly Guided Caliphate on the Prophetic method, which raises the banner of Islam, establishes the law of God, and unites the nation behind one Caliph who is fought from behind and feared.

So do not be deceived by names, and do not rejoice in those who belong to you in form and disagree with you in content, for not everyone who bears the name Saeed, Ali, or Zohran is on the path of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Know that change does not come from within the parliaments of disbelief, but from the armies of the nation that have come to move, and from its conscious youth who work day and night to turn the tables on the West and its aides and its treacherous followers in the lands of Islam and the Muslims.

Muslims will not rise through democratic elections or through Western ballot boxes, but through a real renaissance based on the Islamic creed, by establishing the Rightly Guided Caliphate that restores Islam's status, Muslims' dignity, and shatters the illusions of democracy.

Do not be deceived by names, and do not pin your hopes on individuals in systems of disbelief, but return to your great project: the resumption of Islamic life, for this alone is the path to glory, victory, and empowerment.

The scene is a humiliating repetition of old tragedies: false symbols, loyalty to Western regimes, and deviation from the path of Islam. Everyone who applauds this path is misleading the nation. Return to the Caliphate project, and do not let the enemies of Islam make your leaders and representatives for you. Glory is not in the seats of democracy, but in the saddle of the Caliphate, for which Hizb ut-Tahrir works and warns the nation against this intellectual and political decline. There is no salvation for us except with the state of the Caliphate, which does not allow Muslims to be ruled by those who profess a religion other than Islam, nor by those who justify deviance and perversion, nor by those who legislate for people other than what God has revealed.

Egypt Between Government Slogans and Bitter Reality: The Full Truth About Poverty and Capitalist Policies

Egypt Between Government Slogans and Bitter Reality

The Full Truth About Poverty and Capitalist Policies

Al-Ahram Gate reported on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, that the Egyptian Prime Minister, in a speech delivered on behalf of the President at the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar, said that Egypt is implementing a comprehensive approach to eliminate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including "multidimensional poverty."

For years, official speeches in Egypt have rarely been devoid of phrases such as "a comprehensive approach to eliminating poverty" and "the real launch of the Egyptian economy." Officials repeat these slogans at conferences and events, accompanied by glossy images of investment projects, hotels, and resorts. But the reality, as evidenced by international reports, is quite different. Poverty in Egypt remains a deeply rooted, and even worsening, phenomenon, despite repeated government promises of improvement and renaissance.

According to reports by UNICEF, ESCWA, and the World Food Programme for 2024 and 2025, about one in five Egyptians lives in multidimensional poverty, meaning they are deprived of more than one aspect of basic life, such as education, health, housing, work, and services. The data also confirms that more than 49% of families suffer from difficulties in obtaining sufficient food, a shocking figure that reflects the depth of the living crisis.

As for financial poverty, i.e., low income compared to the costs of living, it has risen sharply as a result of successive waves of inflation that have eroded people's wages, efforts, and savings, until a large percentage of Egyptians are below the financial poverty line despite their constant work.

While the government talks about initiatives such as "Takaful and Karama" and "Decent Life," international figures reveal that these programs have not radically changed the structure of poverty, but have been limited to temporary palliatives similar to a drop poured into the desert. The Egyptian countryside, where more than half of the population lives, still suffers from poor services, a lack of decent job opportunities, and dilapidated infrastructure. The ESCWA report confirms that deprivation in the countryside is several times greater than in the cities, which indicates poor distribution of wealth and chronic neglect of the peripheries.

When the Prime Minister thanks the citizen "who has endured with the government the measures of economic reform," he is in fact acknowledging the existence of real suffering resulting from these policies. However, this acknowledgment is not followed by a change in approach, but rather a continuation on the same capitalist path that caused the crisis.

The alleged reform that began in 2016 with the "floatation" program, raising subsidies, and increasing taxes, was not a reform but rather a burdening of the poor with the cost of debts and deficits. At a time when officials are talking about "the launch," huge investments are going to luxury real estate and tourism projects that serve the owners of capital, while millions of young people find no opportunities for work or housing. Indeed, many of these projects, such as the Alam El Roum area in Matrouh, whose investments are estimated at $29 billion, are foreign capitalist partnerships that acquire land and wealth and turn them into a source of profit for investors, not a source of livelihood for the people.

The regime fails not only because it is corrupt, but because it follows a false intellectual basis, which is the capitalist system, which makes money the focus of all state policies. Capitalism is based on absolute freedom of ownership, and allows the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few who own the means of production, while the many bear the burden of taxes, prices, and public debt.

Therefore, all so-called "social protection programs" are merely an attempt to beautify the brutal face of capitalism, and to prolong the life of an unjust system that takes into account the rich and collects from the poor. Instead of addressing the root of the disease; i.e., the monopoly of wealth and the dependence of the economy on international institutions, it is sufficient to distribute crumbs of cash aid, which do not alleviate poverty or preserve dignity.

Care is not a favor from the ruler to the ruled, but a legitimate duty, and a responsibility for which God will hold him accountable in this world and the hereafter. What is happening today is a deliberate neglect of people's affairs, and an abandonment of the duty of care in favor of conditional loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

The state has become an intermediary between the poor and the foreign creditor, imposing taxes, reducing subsidies, and selling public property to cover a swollen deficit created by the capitalist system itself. In all of this, the legitimate concepts that regulate the economy are absent, such as the prohibition of usury, the prevention of the ownership of public wealth by individuals, and the obligation to spend on the people from the treasury of the Muslims.

Islam has presented an integrated economic system that addresses poverty at its roots, not just with cash support or cosmetic projects. This system is based on fixed legitimate foundations, the most prominent of which are:

1- Prohibiting usury and usurious debts that shackle the state and drain its resources. By eliminating usury, the dependence of the economy on international institutions will disappear, and the financial sovereignty of the nation will be restored.

2- Making ownership three types:

Individual ownership: such as houses, shops, and private farms...

Public ownership: includes major wealth such as oil, gas, minerals, and water...

State ownership: such as fay' lands, rikaz, and kharaj...

With this distribution, justice is achieved, as a small group is prevented from monopolizing the nation's resources.

3- Guaranteeing sufficiency for every individual of the people: The state guarantees for every person in its care their basic needs of food, clothing, and housing. If they are unable to work, the treasury must spend on them.

4- Zakat and mandatory spending: Zakat is not a charity, but an obligation, collected by the state and spent in its legitimate channels for the poor, the needy, and the debtors. It is an effective distribution tool that returns money to the cycle of life in society.

Along with stimulating productive work and preventing exploitation, and urging investment of resources in real beneficial projects such as heavy and military industries, not in speculation, luxury real estate and fictitious projects. In addition to adjusting prices with real supply and demand, not with monopoly or floatation.

The Khilafah state on the method of Prophethood is the only one capable of applying these provisions practically, because it is built on the basis of Islamic creed, and its goal is to care for people's affairs, not to collect their money. Under the Khilafah, there is no usury or conditional loans, and no sale of public wealth to foreigners, but resources are managed in a way that achieves the interest of the nation, and the treasury finances health care, education, and public facilities from state resources, kharaj, anfal, and public property.

As for the poor, their basic needs are guaranteed individually, not through temporary charity but as a guaranteed legitimate right. Therefore, fighting poverty in Islam is not a political slogan, but an integrated system of life that establishes justice, prevents injustice, and returns wealth to its people.

Between the official discourse and the lived reality is a huge distance that is not hidden from anyone. While the government boasts of its "giant" projects and the "real launch," millions of Egyptians live below the poverty line, suffering from high prices, unemployment, and a lack of hope. The truth is that this suffering will not disappear as long as Egypt continues on the path of capitalism, surrendering its economy to usurers and submitting to the policies of international institutions.

The crises and problems of Egypt are human problems and not material ones, and they relate to legitimate rulings that show how to deal with them and treat them on the basis of Islam, and the solutions are easier than turning a blind eye, but they need a sincere administration that has a free will that wants to walk in the right path and truly wants good for Egypt and its people, and then this administration must review all the contracts that were previously concluded and that are concluded with all the companies that monopolize the assets of the country and what is of its public ownership, and at the forefront are companies exploring for gas, oil, gold and the rest of the minerals and wealth, and expel all those companies because they are originally colonial companies plundering the wealth of the country, then formulate a new covenant based on enabling people to access the country's wealth and establishing or leasing companies that are based on producing wealth from the sources of oil, gas, gold and other minerals and redistribute these wealth to the people again, then people will be able to cultivate the dead land that the state will enable them to exploit with their right in it, and they will also be able to manufacture what must be manufactured to raise the economy of Egypt and suffice its people, and the state will support them in this way, and all this is not a figment of the imagination or impossible to happen or a project that we present for experimentation that may succeed or fail, but it is legitimate rulings that are necessary and binding on the state and the people, so the state may not give up the wealth of the country that is owned by the people under the pretext of contracts approved and supported by unjust international laws, and it may not prevent people from it, but it must cut off every hand that extends plundering to the wealth of the people, this is what Islam offers and must be implemented, but it is not applied in isolation from the rest of the systems of Islam, but it is only applied through the Rashidun Khilafah state on the method of Prophethood, this state whose concern and call for is carried by Hizb ut-Tahrir and calls on Egypt and its people, people and army, to work with it for its sake, may God write the conquest from Him, so we see it a reality that honors Islam and its people, O God, sooner rather than later.
