Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir delivered public speeches after Jummah prayers today at various mosques across Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet where they said the current ruling system and the rulers have failed to liberate the people and called upon the Muslims to re-establish the Khilafah state which will truly liberate the Ummah. The speakers said this year Bangladesh is in her 40th year of existence but the country is still impoverished where 40% of the people live under the poverty line. More than 90% of the country’s wealth is owned by less than 10% of the population. There are hundreds of thousands of educated unemployed in the country. Millions of women are forced to support their families working as tailors in garment factories which can only be described as concentration camps. The economy remains backward without any strong industrial base to the point that even the capital city Dhaka does not enjoy an uninterrupted supply of electricity! This is only a tiny picture of the grim state of the country.

The speakers urged the people to remove the current ruling system and the Awami-BNP rulers who have ruled the country for the last 40 years. This kufr secular man made system is the real cause for the suffering and hardship of the people. Under the protection of this system the Awami-BNP rulers loot the country’s wealth and live an extravagant life on the one hand, while on the other hand they sell the wealth and interests of the country to their foreign masters, leaving the people to suffer in poverty. The comparison of these rulers is with that of Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi and the other tyrants who have been oppressing the Muslims in the Arab countries for 40-50 years; the same is the case of the Awami-BNP rulers in Bangladesh who have been oppressing the Muslims here for the last 40 years. The Muslims here need to rise up against the Awami-BNP rulers like the Muslims in the Arab countries have risen up and taken to the streets.

The only way forward for liberation is to establish the rule by the Qur’an and Sunnah and to unify with the global Muslim Ummah eliminating the artificial boundaries between Muslims. This will only happen if we re-establish the Khilafah state. Only through implementing the Qur’an and Sunnah the Muslims will achieve the Hasanah (the Good) in the Dunya and Akhira. And unification under one state i.e. the Khilafah, will bring together the manpower, resources and armies of the Ummah allowing her to retake her position as the number one state in the world.

The speakers quoted the Ayah from the Noble Qur’an explaining to the musallis that the people of the country will continue to live in hardship so long as we keep silent about the current ruling system and the corrupt agent rulers:

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ [طه:١٢٤

"But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment." [Surah Ta-Ha: 124]
