Episode 4
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the Imam of the pious, the master of the messengers, sent as a mercy to the worlds, our master Muhammad, and upon all his family and companions. Make us with them and gather us in their group with your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
O Muslims:
Dear listeners, listeners of the media office radio of Hizb ut-Tahrir:
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. After that: In this episode, we continue our reflections on the book "From the Components of the Islamic Mentality." In order to give living examples of the Islamic personality, while focusing on the Islamic mentality, we say, with God's help:
In these episodes, we present to Muslims in general, and to the carriers of the call in particular, the components of the Islamic mentality, so that we may all be as God Almighty wants us to be, and as our Lord loves and is pleased with, so that we may deserve His victory and support for us, so that He may be pleased with us and change our condition as He promised us, so that He may make us successors on earth as He made those before us successors, and empower us with our religion, the religion of Islam that He has approved for us, and replace our fear with security, worshipping Him and not associating anything with Him.
O Muslims:
We said in the previous episode: "If a person's mind and psyche are disciplined by Islam, he will be an Islamic figure who makes his way to good in the midst of the crowd, not fearing the blame of a critic in God." We give a living example of this from the biography of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him:
When God Almighty revealed His saying addressing His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: {O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And God will protect you from the people. Indeed, God does not guide the disbelieving people.} (Al-Ma'idah 67).
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, proceeded to convey what was revealed to him from his Lord, without fearing the blame of a critic in God, not caring or concerned about the harm that befell him in the path of God, no matter how high the degree of harm reached, even if it included his death and destruction, peace and blessings be upon him.
Listen to him as he addresses his uncle Abu Talib when a delegation from the leaders of Quraish came to him: They said to him: O Abu Talib, you have age, honor, and status among us, and we have asked you to stop your nephew, but you have not stopped him from us, and by God, we cannot bear this from insulting our fathers, ridiculing our dreams, and criticizing our gods, until you stop him from us, or we fight him and you in that until one of the two parties perishes.
Ibn Ishaq said: When Quraish said this statement to Abu Talib, he sent to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and said to him: O son of my brother, your people have come to me and said such and such to me, for what they had said to him, so spare me and yourself, and do not burden me with a matter that I cannot bear. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, thought that his uncle had begun to forsake him and surrender him, and that he had become weak to support him and stand with him. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O uncle, by God, if they put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand on condition that I abandon this matter until God makes it prevail or I perish in it, I would not abandon it."
O Muslims:
This is how the believer's psyche should be. To be ready to sacrifice himself for Islam. This stance of sacrificing oneself for the sake of supporting Islam is not the only stance, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, took it and it was enough, for the stances of sacrifice in the history of Islam are more than can be counted; because the Companions, led by the first Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, followed the example of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, in this stance, and we have seen his firm, decisive and courageous stance, which he took in the war against the apostates, and when Omar Ibn Al-Khattab objected to him, he said his famous and widespread phrase: "Is the religion diminished while I am alive?" Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, showed his readiness to die in the path of establishing and re-implementing one of the rulings of Islam, which is Zakat, and this is not a figment of the imagination, but rather a reality that filled the history books!
And the mothers who gave birth to these sacrificers are still capable of giving birth to the likes of these great leaders, who I do not exaggerate if I say that they are like the Companions y! We give a living example of this from our present era in which we live, and I was an eyewitness, narrating it faithfully as I lived it as a tangible reality:
When we were in one of the prisons of the oppressors in the state of Jordan, our number in the year one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four AD reached forty-two young men from the youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and I saw and heard a great deal about their sacrifices and courageous stances, and the youth would come to us to visit us in prison to relieve us.
Our current emir, Ata bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, may God protect him and take care of him, and make victory on his hands, and make us among those who pledge allegiance to him to hear and obey in our activity and dislike, so that he may implement God's law in us, and judge us according to the book of God and the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, in the second righteous caliphate on the method of prophethood. Amen.
One day, a number of young men came to visit us in the morning of that day, and they brought with them a list of the names of the thirteen young men who were executed by the tyrant of Libya, and it was only a moment before the list reached the hands of our Emir Abu Yassin, may God protect him and take care of him, and make the highest paradise our abode and his abode. Amen.
As soon as the list reached Abu Yassin's hands and he finished reading it, his eyes welled up with tears, and his eyes continued to shed tears until the end of the day, and when the young men saw Abu Yassin's great influence, and the continuation of his eyes shedding tears, they began to come to him in groups and individually, consoling him and alleviating his pain, saying to him: "O Abu Yassin, be patient and seek reward, these young men who were executed, we consider them martyrs, and they are alive with their Lord, being provided for, so we should rejoice instead of crying!
However, Abu Yassin did not respond to them, and did not stop crying throughout that day, and when the soldiers closed the door of the dormitory in the prison, the young men surrounded Abu Yassin consoling him, and he had been silent throughout his day since he received the list that contained the names of the young men who were executed, and suddenly Abu Yassin opened his mouth to say his word that shook the entity of all those present, that word that indicates the high Islamic mentality that Abu Yassin's unique personality enjoys! So what did he say?
O Muslims:
Open your hearts and minds and listen carefully, to hear these words that are written in letters of light, to illuminate the path for those who follow the path of calling to God! Listen, O noble nation, and let the whole world hear, for the pioneer does not lie to his people! They said to him: Why haven't you stopped crying, O Abu Yassin, throughout this day? He said, may God protect him: Do you think that I am crying sadly for them? They said to him: Then what are you sobbing for? He said: I did not cry and will not cry sadly for them, but I cried and cry because I was deprived of martyrdom with them!!
And I learned after I left prison, from one of Abu Yassin's companions from the carriers of the call who were with him, that Abu Yassin, may God protect him and take care of him, was detained in Libya with the young men who were martyred and knew them one by one!
God bless you, O Abu Yassin, how strong is your piety! And how high is your psyche, and how much is your sincerity! This is a testimony of truth that I give in its proper form, and God is a witness to what I say, a testimony that I present to the Islamic nation, as it explores its path towards glory, and searches for a leader who leads it to safety, and governs it with the law of its Merciful Lord! Implementing in it the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Adnan, peace and blessings be upon him, so that it may be guided to the right course. So hasten, brothers, to God's pleasure, to His forgiveness, to His paradise, to His victory, to success in both worlds. {And in that let the competitors compete}.
Dear listeners: Listeners of the media office radio of Hizb ut-Tahrir:
We will suffice with this amount in this episode, provided that we complete our reflections in the upcoming episodes, God Almighty willing, so until that time and until we meet you, we leave you in God's care, protection, and security. We thank you for your kind listening, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
