“A future day where the Ummah will rejoice in the most fulfilling way, inshallah, is when the second righteous Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the methodology of Prophethood is re-established. The Khalifah will be reappointed over the Ummah after more than a century’s absence, an absence that has inflicted the most brutal pain by our enemies over the Ummah.

“The day when the current state of affairs is replaced with the justice of Islam through the appointment of a righteous Khalifah over the Muslims will begin the process of righting the wrongs inflicted upon humanity under secular liberal capitalism, and all other ‘ism’s. On that day, the Khalifah's judgment will settle all disputes, our Eid will be one again, our land one again, our ranks united again, our message unified again, our resources consolidated, and our lands freed from occupation. Humanity will come to know the true mercy of Islam.”Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia, Facebook post, May 1, 2023, 3:33 a.m., https://www.facebook.com/hizbaust/posts/pfbid02nb1gLdqX8ZmQFWfdsMM5G35nbaxGBg6qP8bBeXnmAcwDHTSB3QtbNnmmmELWLbs2l.

“The Islamic ruling regarding participation in #SecularLiberalElections  should be enough to make one avoid authorising one to rule by other than what Allah swt has revealed. Even a cursory look at their policies should make one shudder at the thought of actively approving such policies through voting.”Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia, Facebook post, March 24, 2023, 5:36 p.m., https://www.facebook.com/hizbaust/posts/pfbid0CjxjtuNm7ukdAwn57kkEXAvxAyTe7bCMpHc6MKD7hzVtYVMDqABNjUfoBq3RrWSTl.

“Hizb ut-Tahrir has dedicated its efforts to resuming the Islamic way of life. Among its fortes is understanding the current global order and its economic system. Moreover, we offer plans on how to transition from the current economic system to the Islamic system with its constitution and ruling structure. Our detailed literature on these matters presents a new vision for the world. A new vision for our Ummah and the world, living under the rule of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, leading the world in peace, prosperity, and salvation in the Akhirah. A new vision that seeks to bring the world out of the darknesses of Capitalism and into the light of Islam. Hence, we ask the Ummah to place its belief and fear in Allah سبحانه وتعالى alone and dare to imagine a new future.”“The Looming Recession & The Light of Islam,” Hizb ut-Tahrir America, February 3, 2023, https://hizb-america.org/the-looming-recession-the-light-of-islam/.

“Today, democracy—far from the universal truth and the prime system of governance and justice touted by the West—is internally crumbling, with its people losing faith in its electoral integrity and the capability of the Democratic System to solve real problems.

“In contrast, the hearts and minds of Muslims worldwide continually long for Islam and the Islamic System to practically govern and solve their affairs.  Islam is rising and poses a significant challenge to the failing secular liberal order.  Islam has its own government and justice system practically manifested in the institution of the Khilafah (Caliphate).  The application of the system of Islam—as testified across a rich 1400-year history— possesses the power to legitimately unite people from different races, ethnicities, regions, and even beliefs into a harmonious, cohesive, and protected society.  The world itself holds its breath under today’s seemingly never ending crisis, division, exploitation, and misery since the destruction of the System and Institution of Islam in 1924.”“Democracy in Peril: Have Americans Lost Faith in Elections?,” Hizb ut-Tahrir America, November 29, 2022, https://hizb-america.org/democracy-in-peril-have-americans-lost-faith-in-elections/.

Recorded statement on YouTube following the August 12 stabbing of author Salman Rushdie in New York:

"Now, insulting the Prophet is never something that the Muslim will ever tolerate, it is non-negotiable. So, this is something that Muslims around the world will always defend, the honor of the Prophet, his family, and his companions.

“With many other people who are fair-minded around the world, they see the aggressive nature of the West in trying to force its values and its opinions on the rest of the world. They force their values on the rest of the world, so they adopt the free market without question, and free sex without question.

“No teacher is allowed to even say that homosexuality is a sin in class, there is no debate or discussion here – zero freedom in Britain for teachers to do this. Public condemnation of the brutal and merciless killing of men, women, and children by the Zionist occupiers of Palestine is not tolerated.

“In France, it’s illegal to doubt the Holocaust – zero freedom to say this.

"Muslims are criminalized for their opinions – no freedom of expression for them. Muslims are banned and deplatformed from speaking at universities and other public venues that challenge the Western narrative of various issues – no freedom of expression for them. Muslims are denied venues for holding public talks to debate and discuss public issues – no freedom of expression for them.

“So, this is not about freedom of speech, rather it is about demonizing Islam. The bombing of freedom into Muslims has failed, the propaganda to deform Islam, too, has failed.”“Hizbu Ut-Tahrir Britain Official Mazhar Khan Responds To Stabbing Of Salman Rushdie: Muslims Will Always Defend The Honor Of The Prophet; In The West It Is Forbidden To Call Homosexuality A Sin, Doubt The Holocaust,” MEMRI, August 13, 2022, https://www.memri.org/tv/hizbu-ut-tahrir-britain-official-mazhar-khan-response-stabbing-salman-rushide-islam-west-homosexuality-holocaust.

“Will our legacy be to be silent while our ummah bleeds? Or to cry tears at the plight of our ummah, when our tears will not stop the pain of our brothers and sisters. Or to just give charity to ease the suffering of our ummah, when pounds and dollars will not end the persecution or the bullets and bombs raining down on our brothers and sisters.

“Or will our legacy be to return to the way of our Prophet, May Allah honor him and grant him peace, by establishing the great state in Islamic leadership that will be a guardian to all Muslims no matter their race, ethnicity, land of birth, or place they live.

“The Caliphate state based upon the method of the Prophethood, a state that will once again mobilize its army to defend the honor of our sisters, protect the blood of Muslims, and liberate every inch of occupied Muslim land. A state that will uproot every trace of this terrorist Zionist entity from the blessed land of Palestine and raise once again the flag of Islam over al-Quds.”“British Hizb ut-Tahrir Women's Section Director Dr. Nazreen Nawaz: The Islamic Caliphate Will Liberate Islamic Lands, Uproot Israel, Free Aafia Siddiqui,” MEMRI, July 21, 2022, https://www.memri.org/tv/uk-hizb-tahrir-womens-director-nazreen-caliphate-liberate-lands-uproot-israel.
