وَمَا بَدَُّلوا تَبْدِيلًا . لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِ ْ ن شَاءَ َأوْ يَتُوبَ عََليْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ

[And when the Believers saw the Confederates, they said,
`this is what God and His Messenger promised us, and God
and His Messenger spoke the truth'. And it only increased
them in faith and submission.(22) Among the Believers are
men who remained true to the covenant they had made with
God; then some of them have fulfilled their vow and some of
them are waiting and have not changed in the least,(23) that
God may recompense the truthful for their truth and punish
the hypocrites, if he will, or accept their repentance; God is
surely Forgiving, Merciful.(24) And God turned back the
unbelievers in their rage, they attained no good; and God

and Mighty.(25) And He brought down those of the People of
the Book who supported them from their fortresses, and He
cast terror in their hearts, so that some you killed, and some
you made captives.(26) And He made you to inherit their
land, their houses, their wealth, and the land you did not
tread; and God is surely powerful over every-thing.(27)]1 ALAHZAB.

Preface of Translator
A very dear brother, a Dawah3 carrier, told me that it
would be beneficial to translate this book, as the
Dawah carriers who are not fluent in Arabic are in
great need to know the history of the Dawah and
especially its early days. Upon getting in touch with
the author, he welcomed the idea of translation and
provided me with the book. This book, composed of
episodes of memories4, is huge in content. I did a lot
of the translation on the fly, as I felt I need to release
the translation fast, thus my focus was to help the
3 Dawah: Call. This word has evolved to become a term used by Hizb ut-
Tahrir followers to imply the Hizb whenever used alone. When combined
with the word carrier (i.e. Dawah carrier), it usually, but not necessarily,
means a member of the Hizb. Here, it does.
4 There are 32 episodes in total.
Page 8 of 224
reader to understand the point and get the idea,
nothing else. I translated the first 5 episodes in
complete. Starting from episode 6, and upon getting
the author's full permission, I started to edit a little
bit. I also added footnotes wherever I considered
appropriate or necessary; the original text had no
footnotes.
It must be noticed that the author is from the city of
Al-Khaleel5, thus the majority of his memories is
related to that locality. I am personally aware of
names of pioneers in the Hizb who are not
mentioned in this book, thus the list of names
mentioned is not exclusive by any means. Also, it
must be noticed that both the author and myself; the
translator, are mere members in Hizb ut-Tahrir, with
no official title (e.g. spokesman or representative).
Thus, all statements and interpretations in the text
belong to the author, and those in footnotes belong
to me. Even when I translate adopted literature, the
Hizb cannot be held responsible of my translation; it
is responsible of the original text of that literature, in
5 Hebron, West Bank, Palestine.

Arabic. In case there is any historical, political,
intellectual or sharii deviation between this book and
the adopted literature of Hizb ut-Tahrir, then for sure
it has been committed by mistake and Hizb ut-Tahrir
cannot be held responsible of it. I urge anyone who
comes across such deviation to email me, in order to
revise it. I tried my best not to commit such mistake,
but I cannot claim perfection by any means.
I ask Allah SWT6 to bless the author and all our
brothers and sisters of Dawah carriers with his great
blessings, and allow them:
1- to accomplish the victory of Islam in this life,
through the establishment of The Islamic
Khilafah State,
2- to save humanity from evil ideas7, and
3- to enter the highest levels of Paradise in the
hereafter, amen.
And let my Lord be my witness that I love the author
and every sincere Dawah
carrier in Allah.
6 SWT: Subhanahu Wa Taa'ala: The Unlike any and The Above all, all
Glory be to Him.
7 All ideological ideas not founded on Islamic Creed are deemed evil.

Introduction
Since I started authoring these episodes of
memories, I get carried out by a huge wave of
sadness and sorrow every time I recall a memory or
write a paragraph, because I know that I will forget
many men and many stands regardless of how
strong I try to recall the good deeds of those great
men.
Those are not only Dawah carriers, rather they are
the selected elite of the Ummah8, the beautiful mole
that no eye can miss, the lamps of light boast in their
mouths, their tongues speak of the evidences of the
Book (Qura’an), they are the selected elite under the

leadership of the re-newer9 of Islamic Thought in the
20th century; His Eminence Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-
Nabhany, and his companion and successor; His
Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, and the
voice of Haq10 under the dome of parliament: the
man who rejected to place trust in rulers and to
accept the legislation of kufr11 systems and laws; His
Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Ad-Dao’or. Yes indeed,
they are the carriers of the flag of change, the riders
of the right path, the rivals of Satan and his puppets
on earth. With them Allah SWT will fix the lands
insha-Allah, and will protect the slaves. Among them
there who resembled the companions of Prophet
Mohammed SAW12 and the companions of
messenger Esa13 bin Mariam peace be upon him
and his mother, who were cut with saws and
crucified. They were patient against affliction, torture,
getting fired from jobs, getting their heads chopped
off, and being displaced repeatedly all over, they

were vocal with their Dawah of Haq, carrying the
torch of guidance to the whole world, some of them
have passed away, and some of them is still waiting
without altering anything of the Haq they have
believed in and carried through the years. They are
the hope of the Ummah, her wish, her leaders to
goodness and victory insha-Allah. They have carried
the Dawah, ordered the righteousness (i.e. Ma’ruf)
and forbade the evil (i.e. Monkar), resisted the
corruption and agents, and spoke up of Dawah,
never compromised and never showed two faces,
and taught patience how patience should be. They
taught tyrants and idols and criminality experts how
men can be patient, they scared the rulers and
infidel states and infidel intelligence services, and
they withstood the conspiracies of enemies and
slaves of enemies, of tyrants’ assistants and
mercenaries and ruler-lovers, and all those
movements and hatred-full organizations that have
their hearts full with spite and malice, including some
of the self-proclaimed Islamists, who lowered
themselves to the level that some intelligence
agencies couldn’t descend to. I do beg Allah SWT
for those who are left of them and those who
Page 13 of 224
followed them and walked their path under the
leadership of the Sheikh of Sheikhs, the Emir of Hizb
ut-Tahrir, His Eminence, Sheikh Ata Abu Ar-Rashta,
and I do ask Allah SWT to fulfill His truthful promise
on their hands by the establishment of the Islamic
State and the raising of the Flag of Eagle14.
What I have sought of publishing these memories
has not been the historical narration of a giant Hizb,
and has not been to keep the records of those
great sheikhs, or rather genius figure men, otherwise
I would have never given them what they deserve.
To be clear, these episodes of (The Beloveds by
Allah) are mere memories I recalled five decades
later and had never written down. It has never
occurred to me that I will have such huge privilege;
otherwise I would have taken notes along the years,
and would have kept supplementary documents.
These memories are what is left in mind for a long
history, a history that has been surrounded with
huge incidents, as our Establisher Emir may Allah
have mercy on him had shaken the tree so many
times and so frequently to get rid of the useless and
14 This is the name of the flag of Prophet Mohammed SAW.
Page 14 of 224
to abort fake pregnancy, and there came the ordeal
of stability on principle, which some sheikhs would
prefer to call: the ordeal of the perished jamal abdulnaser15,
may Allah have no mercy on him, that
ordeal that caused everyone to fight us and be our
enemy, and that extended to personal harm, and the
catastrophe was that the Hizb saw his men falling
one after another, leaving the Dawah one after
another, until only 25% stood fast and held firm. It
was not a picnic the successors of which inherited
paradise, rather struggles and self-conflicts and
sighs and tears and tortures and job terminations
and displacements and humiliations and insomnias.
All this was withstood by huge, giant men, who never
bend to unjust man and never prostrated to anyone
by The Great Creator. I recall these memories, and
every time I take the pencil to write them down my
tears start to run on their own for their memories,
thus I recall some and forget many. I have not
pressured myself to revive their memories, nor to be
proud of them or to point at their legacies, as they
are higher before Allah SWT and certainly need not
15 Ex-president of Egypt (1954-1970), biggest agent of the USA in the 20th
century, a real thug and traitor.
Page 15 of 224
such praise from us. These memories, however, are
to be a school for us, to teach us the stands of men,
so that we walk the path of honor they had walked
before us. To get the attention to the fact that the
legacies of the Companions can indeed re-occur on
the hands of men as patient as the Companions
were, rather as patient as Prophet Ayyoub peace be
upon him was, and as the Companions in their
thoughts and Aqeeda (creed) and good discipline.
As such, may Allah’s peace be upon them and upon
all those who walk the path of Prophet Mohammed
SAW until the Day of Judgment.
When we present these memories, we present them
to you o youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir: as you are the heirs
of (The Beloveds by Allah), the Dawah carriers, the
youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir, who are the selected elite of
the Ummah alhamdulellah, who are the beautiful
mole that no eye can mess, the carriers of the flag of
change under the leadership of their Emir and
Leader His Eminence Sheikh Ata Abu Ar-Rashta
may Allah protect him and make victory on his
hands.
Page 16 of 224
They are the ones who promised Allah SWT to
serious work to realize the establishment of the
Islamic Khilafah, the fardh16 and crown of all fardhs.
Upon this, they have been faced and fought by
criminal thugs who have been trying to silence them
and crush their Dawah, who fear not Allah nor care
about their bonds with us, thus they open the jails
detention camps, and whipped the backs, tortured
and tried to seduce the youth who stood fast and
cared not about anything but their promise to Allah,
among them those who passed away in the jails of
tyrants due to the tremendous torture and among
them those who await without altering any of the Haq
they have believed in. In their attempts to extinguish
the torch of light that shined from Al-Aqsa Mosque,
tyrants got help from those who have lost their taqwa
and piety, those of libertine personalities, including
the ruler-lover sheikhs and self-proclaimed Muslims.
Those have worked day and night to seduce you, o
youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and to prevent people from
listening to your word of Haq, thus they authored
16 Obligatory ruling in Islam
Page 17 of 224
their intelligence books, and fabricated misguided
verdicts (i.e. fatwas), and specialized forums to lie on
you and describe you as infidels, forums that in
reality are stinky swamps. Their silly and idiots have
asked Allah on the platforms (i.e. minbars) to take
your souls. How would Allah SWT accept for His
Beloveds the seduction (i.e. fitna) and aggression of
men, no He will not:

الأعراف.
[And to Midian (We sent) their brother Shuaib; he
said, `my people, serve God, you have no god other
than He; there has come to you a clear Sign from
your Lord, so fill up the measure and the balance,
and do not diminish the goods of the people, and do
not create disorder in the land, after its reformation;
that is better for you, if you are believers.(85) And do
not sit on every path, threatening and barring from
God's way those who believe in Him, seeking
Page 18 of 224
crookedness in it; and remember when you were few
and He multiplied you; and see how was the end of
those who create disorder.(86) And if a group among
you believes in the Message I have been sent with,
and a group does not believe, then be patient, till
God judges between us; and He is the best of
judges'.(87)]17 AL-A’RAF
My brothers and beloved Dawah carriers:
It wasn’t my intention when I carried a trust that
mountains would crack beneath, which is to transfer
my memories about great giant sheikhs (The
Beloveds by Allah), it wasn’t my intention to carry
this burden to narrate stories, nor to praise certain
peoples and criticize others, I seek refuge to Allah
from such intentions. I also haven’t written my
memories to make their bibliographies a source of
amusement and topic to get pleased by. No my
brothers, these are memories my pen didn’t’ write
because it still has ink in it, and my tongue didn’t get
pleased with them. Rather, who writes these
memories to you is a heart full with love to his
17 Translation of approximate meaning of verses of the Qura'an.
Page 19 of 224
masters and Emirs of (The Beloveds by Allah), eyes
that got so dry because they cried so much for their
memories, and a heart that longs eagerly to them,
and a thinking mind that believes memories do
benefit the believers. Do remember, my brothers, as
I see in your feedbacks cries for their memories and
flooding emotions and unbelievable love, do
remember that: love and hatred do not meet in a
believer’s heart, and it’s the custom of bibliography
readers to learn from them. By the way, I have never
seen the beloveds by Allah of our great sheikhs to
feel hatred towards those who harm us of the
Muslims, not even for one instant. Rather, their
hatred was towards the infidel enemies, thus do
follow them and treat our brothers in Islam with love
and patience as our great sheikhs, the beloved by
Allah, did. If you don’t, then what is the benefit of the
memories of their paths? Do devote your intentions
to Allah, my dear brothers, and do remember that
the Dawah carrier never insult, curse nor swear at
others.

Episode 1
Emergence of Light from Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Dawah of Hizb ut-Tahrir appeared early 1953 in
the Blessed Lands18. The establisher of Hizb is His
Eminence Sheikh Taqi-yuddin bin19 Ebraheem bin
Mustafa bin Ismail bin Yusuf An-Nabhany. The
family name (An-Nabhany) is after the tribe of Beni20
Nabhan that belongs to the Desert Arabs in
Palestine, which settled down in the village of Ejzim,
county of Safad, which is attached to the city of Haifa
in Northern Palestine. The Sheikh was born in the
village of Ejzim in 1909 in a house of knowledge and

religion, famous with taqwa21 and piety. His father;
Sheikh Ebraheem, was a faqeeh22 working as a
teacher of various branches of Sharia in the ministry
of education in Palestine. Also, his mother was as
knowledgeable in Sharia as she got that from her
father Sheikh Yusuf bin Ismail bin Yusuf An-
Nabhany; the judge, literate, poet and key figure in
Sufism, who authored many books and publications,
such as the famous book of "Parcels of Paradise"23.
The Sheikh's grandfather; the father of his mother,
as mentioned in some bibliographies: Yusuf bin
Ismail bin Yusuf bin Hasan bin Mohammed An-
Nabhany Al-Shafii, Abu Al-Mahasin, literate, poet,
sufi, one of prominent judges, was in charge of
judicial affairs in Jenin area that belongs to Nablus
district24. He moved to Constantinople25, then
assigned as judge in Kiwi Sonjoq, an area attached
to the province of Mosel26, then chairman of
21 Taqwa: piety or piousness.
22 Faqih: the Muslim Scholar who has a lot of knowledge in Fiqh, which
means jurisprudence.

punishment court in Lattakia27, then in Jerusalem28,
then of law court in Beirut29. He authored forty eight
(48) publications.
This environment, in which he was raised up, had
huge effect on the way the Islamic personality of
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin was formed and built. Thus, he
memorized the whole Qura’an before the age of
thirteen (13), and he was influenced by his
grandfather; the father of his mother, and his taqwa
and consciousness, and he benefited a lot from his
vast knowledge. He acquired political awareness so
early, especially those significant political affairs that
his grandfather was aware of due to his close
contacts with the rulers in the Ottoman State. The
Sheikh also benefited a lot from the sessions and
debates that his grandfather Sheikh Yusuf used to
hold. During these sessions and debates, his
intelligence and sharp smartness pulled the attention
of his grandfather, thus he paid extra care to him and

convinced his father to send him to Al-Azhar to
continue his education in Sharia.
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin then joined the high school of Al-
Azhar in the year 1928 and passed with exceptional
success to get the "Scholarly Certificate of
Strangers"30. He joined the College of "Knowledge
House" that is administered by Al-Azhar, and he
used to attend knowledge circles of the Sheikhs of
Al-Azhar, where he graduated from this College of
Knowledge House in the year 1932, and he
graduated from Al-Azhar in the same year. He
worked in the field of Sharii education in the ministry
of education until the year 1938, when he moved to
practice the Sharii judicial profession. He started as
a Head Cleric in Central Haifa Court, then
Consultant (i.e. Deputy Judge) and then the Judge of
Al-Ramla Court until the year 1948, when he
traveled to Damascus after the Jewish occupation of
Palestine. He returned in the same year to be
appointed as a Judge in the Sharii Court of
Jerusalem. After that he was appointed as a Judge
الشهادة العالِمية للغرباء 30
Page 24 of 224
in the Sharii Appeal Court until the year 1950 when
he resigned and moved to give lectures to the high
school students of the Islamic Scientific College in
Amman until the year 1952. May Allah SWT bless
him; he used to be so knowledgeable in many fields,
Absolute Mojtahed31, delicate and persuasive talker.
Before the establishment of the Hizb, the Sheikh
authored three (3) books: “The Message of Arabs”,
“Saving Palestine”, and “The System of Islam”. The
later book used to have green cover and one third
(1/3) of its current volume. These three books are
considered as personal publications of the Sheikh
and are not related to the Hizb. The last books he
authored before he passed away were two
distinguished and unique books, both in content and
style; the book of “Thinking”, which was followed by
the book of “Presence of Mind”. Both of these two
books are published by the Hizb. The whole Islamic
Ummah lost the most prominent scholar of his time,
the bowl of knowledge, the most famous faqeeh of
31 Absolute Mojtahed: the Muslim Scholar who is so knowledgeable that
he can derive his own Foundations of Fiqh (Usul al-Fiqh) from various
verified sources of Islam, thus he can have his own school of thought,
similar to Abu Hanifa, Malek, Al-Shafii, or Ahmed bin Hanbal.

his era, the re-newer of Islamic Intellect in the 20th
century, Faqeeh, Mojtahed, Scholar, His Eminence
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany, the Emir and
Establisher of Hizb ut-Tahrir, in the day of 20 June
1977 G / 1398 H, and he was buried in the
Graveyard of Al-Awzaii in Beirut, where he died
without being able to achieve the target he had
devoted his life for; the Rashidi Khilafah on the path
of Prophecy, leaving the flag to his successor and
road companion His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Yusuf Zalloum. Long Jihad and many
exhausting attempts to reach the goal, resulted in a
Hizb to which thousands of thousands of people
belong and carry its thoughts, and which has millions
of supporters. This Hizb's men widely spread in
every part of the world and entered every jail of
infidels and tyrants. In the day of 11 Safar 1424 H,
13 April 2003 G, the chairman of the Diwan of
Mazalim32 in Hizb ut-Tahrir announced the election
of the Usuli33, Scholar, Engineer, His Eminence
Sheikh Ata Abu Ar-Rashta "Abu Yaseen" as the Emir
of Hizb ut-Tahrir, after the stepping down of the
32 A committee in Hizb that is in charge of many critical partisan tasks.

Scholar, His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum from the leadership of the Hizb on Monday
14 Moharram 1424 H, 17 March 2003 G. The knight
of knights and their leader descended from his horse
that he had ridden for more than fifty (50) years
(during the first half of which he was helpful assistant
to the Establisher Imam, and during the second half
he was the successor Emir of the Establisher Emir
following his death) after nonstop work and
exhausting effort to achieve the goal. His stepping
down, as he stated, was for the benefit of Dawah,
and that he wants an Emir who can continue walking
the path with strength and energy. He also stated
that his stepping down is by no means escape from
the responsibility of leave of Dawah, rather he
promised to stay as a working soldier in the Dawah
until he meets Allah SWT. Later, the knight of
knights and the sheikh of sheikhs, the Emir of Hizb
ut-Tahrir His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Yusuf
Zalloum, born in the year 1923, was announced
dead in the day of 27 Safar 1424 H, 29 April 2003,
aged at eighty (80). Condolences were accepted in
the city of Khaleel (Hebron) in Palestine in the diwan
of Abu Gharbiyyah Al-Sha'rawi, where the scene
Page 27 of 224
was unlike any scene the city had witnessed before,
as people flooded from all cities and villages, racing
to pay their condolences and delivering speeches
and poems, as the microphone-linked phone kept
ringing to deliver words of condolences from Sudan,
Kuwait, Europe, Indonesia, America, Jordan, Egypt,
and all over the world. Similar houses of
condolences were set in Amman and elsewhere too.

Episode 2
Launch of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s March
The Hizb started its intellectual activity by issuing the
first of its books "The System of Islam" for Sheikh
Taqi-yuddin, almost in the current volume and
unique appearance and with an introduction by
Dawod Hamdan, where is was mentioned: (In the
Islamic world, part of which is the Arab world, many
movements were established to liberate it from the
bad reality in which it resides, but all those
movements failed because they never understood
the real meaning of liberation…). On the other hand,
this introduction was omitted in later editions after
Sheikh Dawod Hamdan departed the Hizb, during
what has been known later on as "Leadership
Page 29 of 224
Ordeal". The Ordeal of Leadership was the first ring
of many rings of ordeals that hit the Hizb and that
affected its progress negatively. It started when few
of the first generation, many of which belonged to
the first cell, raised the issue of decision making
process by the Hizb leadership, and asked for it to
be collective. On the other hand, the Establisher
Leader insisted that it must be singular. They also
wanted the Hizb not to work in Syria so it stays as a
safe haven for the Shabab34 and Hizb leaders. This
caused a storm of discussions and arguments that
lasted for weeks, upon which some famous persons
departed the Hizb, like: Nimr Al-Masry, Dawod
Hamdan, Abdul-Ghaffar Katbah, Abdul-Majeed Abu
Laben, Hashim Abu Amarah, and all were residents
of Syria.
The second book of the Hizb was the booklet of
"Bases of Rise"35 for Dawod Hamdan, and during the
same year the booklet of "Concepts of Hizb ut-
34 Shabab: Youth people. This word evolved to become a term used by
the followers of the Hizb to imply the members, as the Hizb states in its
literature that all its members should carry the Dawah as energetic youth,
regardless of their age.

Tahrir" and the booklet of "Partisan Massing"36, then
the book of "Ruling System of Islam" for An-Nabhany
with an introduction by Nimr Al-Masry, then the
booklet of "Launch Point of Hizb ut-Tahrir" and the
book of "Islamic State" for An-Nabhany and with an
introduction by Dawod Hamdan were released. Then
the books of "Economical System of Islam", "Social
System of Islam", "Political Concepts of Hizb ut-
Tahrir" and "Islamic Personality" for Sheikh Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany, in its small volume and with the
first edition composed of one (1) part only, were
released. Most of the books used to have one page
defining the Hizb and its thoughts, starting like this:
(Hizb ut-Tahrir is a political party, the principle of
which is Islam and the purpose of which is the
resumption of the Islamic Life by the construction of
the Islamic State, and it allows women into its
membership as it allows men…etc). Books used to
be distributed by secretive sales for 30 Fils37 for the
booklet and 100 Fils for the book, all with white cover
and red title and the rest of the cover was black,
التكتل الحزبي 36
37 The currency of Jordan, and thus of West Bank of Palestine at that
time; was Dinar. One Dinar is made up of 1000 Fils. Currently, 1.00
Jordanian Dinar is almost equivalent to $1.40.
Page 31 of 224
such that all the books of the Hizb became known
with this distinguished shape. The first book to be
released in a different shape was "Hot Call to the
Muslims from Hizb ut-Tahrir"38 which had a colorful
cover bearing the Flag of Eagle. In the year 1958
and afterwards the Hizb released, by Waie39
Bookstore – Beirut, a collection of books of the Hizb
that were not listed as part of the adopted
publications of the Hizb, like "Islamic Intellect"40 for
Mohammed Mohammed Ismail Abdouh, and
"Rulings of Prayer" for Sheikh Ali Ragheb. After that
the books of "System of Punishments" and "Ideal
Economical Policy" were released for Attorney
Abdur-Rahman Al-Malki and “Rulings of Evidences”
for Sheikh Ahmed Ad-Dao'or, and then the rest of
the known books followed; the most famous of which
were “Refutation of Marxist Socialism” for Ghanem
Ismail Abdouh, “How the Khilafah was Demolished”
for Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and “Refutation of Civil
Law” for Sheikh Ahmed Ad-Dao’or, which was a
speech delivered by him in the Jordanian
نداء حار للمسلمين من حزب التحرير 38

Parliament. The only book that the Hizb had included
officially into its adopted publications and was
authored by a person other than the two Sheikhs41,
other than “Bases of Rise”42, was “Islamic Dawah –
Duties and Attributes”43 for the Scholar, His
Eminence Sheikh Mahmoud Abdul-Latif Oweidah,
Abu Eyas44, which raised anger among Pledge-
Breachers45 as they saw the Hizb introducing the
real thinkers of his sincere giant men and ignoring
the dwarves, placing each person in his welldeserved
location. This drove them to reveal the
spite they had hidden in their dark hearts, declaring
their breach of the pledge after they arranged among
themselves to hide it until what they thought to be
the right moment, exploiting the opportunity of this
book, to downgrade the book, its giant author, the
41 Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany and Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum.
42 The Hizb excluded this book from its adopted publications when the
author departed the Hizb.
43 Later on, the Hizb excluded this book from its adopted publications to
pull the rug from beneath the pledge-breachers (see footnote # 12).
44 He currently resides in Amman, Jordan.
45 Pledge-Breachers ( الناآثون ): A group of ex-members of the Hizb, who
betrayed the Hizb and tried to dismantle it by claiming that their Pledge to
the Hizb and its Emir holds no more. Even some of them were that rude to
claim that their pledge was to Sheikh An-Nabhany only. Each group of
them declared its own emir. However, Allah SWT protected His Dawah by
the extreme wisdom of Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and the strong
stands of faithful Shabab, getting out of this ordeal much stronger and
shinier than ever before.
Page 33 of 224
Sheikh, and the whole Hizb. This attempt concluded
in their tremendous failure, getting defeated,
disgraced, and expelled from a Dawah they had
never really been part of, with no regrets nor
rewards. Thus, this book of Sheikh Abu Eyas
constituted a decisive and turning point between two
eras of the Hizb.
On the personal level, some of the Shabab
published their-own authored books that were not
included into the Hizb’s adopted publications46, such
as “Islam, between Scholars and Rulers” and “The
Ruling of Islam in Socialism” for Sheikh Molla Abdul-
Aziz Al-Badry, “Oman and the Seven Emirates” for
Sheikh Abdul-Qader Zalloum, Abu Faisal, “The
Immortal Torch” which is an intellectual poem epic
for Poet Emin Shannar, and “Palestine, the Land of
Muslims” which is a historical poem epic for Poet
Abdul-Hafith Abu Naba’a. In addition, many of the
Shabab have published their intellectual production
in newspapers and specialist magazines.
46 Currently, there are hundreds and maybe thousands of such books.

Giant Pioneers
At the Dawah’s early days, the following men were
among those who became well-known in Jerusalem:
His Eminence Establisher Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-
Nabhany, Mr. Nimr Al-Masry, Attorney Mr. Dawod
Hamdan, Mr. Tawfeeq Es’haq Abu Khalaf (trader),
Sheikh Fares Edrees (teacher), Mr. Abdul-Raheem

Lafee, and a Sheikh that resides Amman now from
Kalboonah family.
In Beit-Lahem: Sheikh Abdul-Samee’ Al-Rifai’ Al-
Masry.
In Ramallah: Nitham Hussein (tailor), poet Emin
Shannar who published his collection of poems
(Immortal Torch). Emin Shannar was not on the
margin in Dawah, as some claim, as I knew him and
I am aware of his active role in Dawah and his
extreme closeness to Sheikh Abu Ebraheem47, until
he departed the Dawah at an early stage due to his
disagreement with the Sheikh over the way of
culturing in study circles. It’s to be mentioned that
Nitham Hussien departed the Dawah at an early
stage too, as he got bored because of the lengthy
road.
47 It is accustomed by Arabs who reside in the eastern region of the Arab
lands to call the person after his elder son. The word (Abu) means (The
father of). The name of the elder son of Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany
is Ebraheem, thus he is Abu Ebraheem. On the other hand, Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Zalloum is Abu Yusuf and the current Emir of the Hizb; Sheikh
Ata Abu Ar-Rashta is Abu Yaseen, where (Abu Ar-Rashta) is the family
name of Sheikh Ata, and the name of his elder son is Yaseen.

Malhy (stone-breaker), Ebraheem Khaled Al-

and the majority of the men of movement 313.
Regarding "Movement 313" it was the first
movement before Hizb us-Tahrir that called for the
establishment of the Islamic State. The establisher of
Page 38 of 224
this movement is Sheikh Hamza Abdul-Ghaffar
Tahbob (truck-driver). They considered that having
313 members will result in the establishment of the
Islamic State, because the number of Mohajiroun48
was 313. They obliged their members not to deal
with the infidel state's organs and departments, that
they forbade one of their members to go to the police
station to report a robbery of his shop. When the
Hizb was established, the movement got dissolved
as the majority of its members joined the Hizb,
except its establisher. The famous of them that I
recall are Ebraheem Shaker Al-Sharabaty (Azhari
student and truck-driver), Ahmed Ebraheem Mesk
(baker), Abdul-Ghaffar Al-Skeikh Dorrah (owner of
Al-Quds restaurant in Amman nowadays), Sheikh
Rabii' Barakat Al-Ash'hab (baker), Mohammed
Nai'eem Othman Al-Sharabaty (truck-driver), Yakoop
Abdul-Kareem Abu Remeelah Al-Tamimy (leathertanner),
Mohammed Hamed Abu Remeelah Al-

and each of them with no exception had prominent

In northern West Bank of Palestine: His Eminence
Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or (Sharii judge), Mr.
Mohammed Moosa Abdul-Hady (authority

Sheikh Abu Hamed from Azzoun, poet Mustafa
Haydar Al-Kilany, and poet Abdul-Hafeeth
Mohammed Abu Naba'ah.
In Lebanon: Sheikh Ali Safyah, Mr. Ali Fakhr-uddin,
and Sheikh Yusuf Baa'darany.
In Iraq: His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Badry,
the author of "The Islamic Ruling over Socialism"
who was killed by evil baa'athists, may Allah punish
them severely, due to his book. As during the
beginning of the establishment of the Hizb, Sheikh
Al-Badry and his friends had heard the news of the
establishment of the Hizb in Al-Quds, thus they
came from Baghdad to Al-Quds questioning and
searching. They were three persons: Sheikh Abdul-
Aziz and with him Mr. Ebraheem Makky and a third
49 Like a district chief.
Page 41 of 224
person; I cannot recall his name50. They gathered
with Sheikh Taqi-yuddin in the house of Tawfeeq
Abu Khalaf in the presence of Sheikh Abdul-Hay
Arafah and Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and
Asa’ad Bayyodh and others. These three established
the first cell of the Hizb in Iraq, keeping in mind that
Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem stayed in Baghdad for few
years after he had departed Al-Khaleel, under the
cover of an employee in Trade Company of Es'haq
Abu Khalaf in Baghdad, working next to Sheikh
Abdul-Aziz and his mates tirelessly to get The Pivot51
in Iraq, where some of the Shabab were sent to help
out with this task such as Saleh Abdul-Salah Al-
Mohtaseb and Ebraheem Rateb Abu Ghazalah and
others. It is to be noticed that the Establisher Sheikh
had given extreme importance to the Nusrah
operation52 in Iraq, and traveled several times to Iraq
for that purpose, to join Abu Yusuf in several
important contacts, one of which was the contact
with Abdul-Salam Arif and others. His last trip there
was prior to his death when he was arrested on the
50 Engineer Taleb Al-Samerae’y, if I am not mistaken.
51 The Pivot is the place where the Islamic State will be established.

society in order to establish the Islamic State.

Iraqi borders with Syria. When the torture of
investigators didn't help them in getting him to talk,
even to say his name as he had no personal
documents with him, and where the only thing he
used to say: "An old man looking for medication"53,
the investigators got bored with him and kicked him
out through the Syrian borders. He had his hand
paralyzed and his body totally weakened due to the
severe torture the tyrants implemented on him. His
kicking out through the borders was just before the
wire came from the Jordanian Intelligence, telling
them that the person they have in custody is Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany himself. But they missed the
opportunity.
In Egypt, the Hizb sent Engineer Moosa Hamadah
Qoneiby, who worked there for some time then was
arrested and kicked out of country, just after he
managed to establish the partisan seed there. Also,
the Azhari student Mohammed Badawy Al-Natsheh;
the peot, was kicked out with many others.
53 The Sheikh was an old man indeed, and he was after the medication of
the Ummah.
Page 43 of 224
It is to be noticed that this whole research deals with
the first five years of the Dawah; from 1953 through
1958. It concentrates, especially, on the works of the
first two years; 1953 & 1954. For the sake of "making
sense", it may jump from time to time all the years to
our present day. Also, it must be noticed that even
those pioneer sheikhs who were faster than others to
get the honor of joining this giant castle; some of
them were not in harmony with the Dawah and its
carriers, thus they left the Dawah during its early
days, getting relieved and relieving others, like
Sheikh Abdul-Hay Arafah – Mufti of Al-Khaleel, and
Sheikh Rajab Bayyodh Al-Tamimy. Some of them
left the Hizb in later years after the march got long
on them, getting tired of the lengthy process and
looking for comfort, like Mr. Nur-eddin Khaleel Al-
Jaa'bary, Mustafa Yakoop Al-Qaysy, Afeef Edrees
Al-Khateeb Al-Tamimy, Abdul-Raheem Jalal,
Mohammed Nae'eem Othman Al-Sharabaty, and
Farooq Mohammed Abdul-A'al. The number of all
those who left the Dawah of the pioneers was so
small that it doesn't compose a percentage, not even
a fraction of it. The majority of them kept their loyalty
to the Hizb, or kept his adoption of its ideas.
Page 44 of 224
Among those pioneers, who joined the Hizb before
others, there were numbers of school teachers,
knowledgeable scholars and Sharii judges. Also,
among them there were huge numbers of
intermediate and secondary schools' students. For
example, the current Emir of Hizb ut-Tahrir; Sheikh
Ata Abu Ar-Rashta, joined the Hizb during his
intermediate school days, where he used to live at
the refugee camp of Al-Fawwar nearby the city of Al-
Khaleel. Among the famous pioneers of the Hizb
there were the illiterate baker, the tailor, the trader,
the businessman, the army officer, the engineer, the
medicine doctor, the lawyer, the Sharii judge, the
Khateeb54, the teacher, the student, the barber, the
butcher, the truck-driver, the leather-tanner, the fruitseller,
the stone-breaker, the simple illiterate worker,
as the Hizb knocked the doors of the society with
this mixture of people that represents all the
spectrums of the society.
54 The person who delivers the Friday speech.
Page 45 of 224
It is to be noticed that workers and labors had big
influence in spreading the Dawah and gaining
support for it, as the activity of the Hizb was in no
means limited to the class of educated people,
although it had huge number of them in its ranks. It
is not an exaggeration when I say that some of the
simple workers and labors had bigger and more
important influence than his educated mates. It was
so obvious to everyone that those simple labors had
big capacity, some of whom were illiterate and used
to initialize with their fingers on their discussions with
sheikhs and scholars at study circles in mosques,
being able to silence them in Sharii, intellectual and
political discussions. This irritated some of the
sheikhs of darkness who became spiteful against the
Hizb, trying to discredit it and getting people away
from it in any means possible.
An example of this was a Dawah carrier in Al-
Khaleel; a simple elderly illiterate worker, who
couldn't read and write, called "Yaseen Mahmood Al-
Joneidy". One of the educated people wanted to
make fun of him in front of his friends, greeting him
with "Hello, o politician!!" The simple worker turned
Page 46 of 224
over to him, asking the educated school principal,
politely: "Mister, you described me as politician,
would you please tell me what is politics, please?"
The school principal shook his head, answering: "I
don't know politics, my son, neither me nor you
knows it; it has its own people." The simple worker
replied, aggressively: "No mister, don't put me in
your shoes. If you are an ignorant, I am not. Listen,
so that I teach you mister; politics is taking care of
the affairs of the Ummah internally and externally,
and I am proud to be politician in the ranks of Hizb
ut-Tahrir". The educated school principal got
silenced, as he had not anticipated this aggressive
reply.
During the election campaign in 1954, one of the
candidates in Al-Khaleel was the famous lawyer
"abdul-Khaleq hussein yaghmoor"55 who
campaigned using the slogans of Arabic nationalism
and democracy, hanging leaflets around the hall
"Ummah is the source of authorities". There was our
brother Yaseen Al-Joneidy, standing to him and
55 Abu Farooq.
Page 47 of 224
asking him: "I feel sorry for you, Mr. Abu Farooq; as
you challenge Allah and His Laws, asking to replace
Allah by people in making legislation. Did your father
send you to college to graduate as a communist,
asking people to become infidels?" At the end, the
lawyer mister couldn't stand in front of this simple
illiterate worker.
I have tens of stories of such incidents for him and
similar illiterate Shabab like him. It was a funny story
when lawyer "abdul-Khaleq yaghmoor" decided not
to allow the Shabab to ask him any questions during
one of his election speeches. When they tried
uselessly, one of the Shabab who was known with
his roughness stood up wanting to ask a question.
The lecturer asked him to wait until the lecture is
over. The brother stood in front of the lecturer's
table, not allowing him to proceed with his lecture
unless he allows him to ask. When the lecturer
couldn't handle it anymore, he allowed him to ask.
There, and because the tough brother had no
question, he pulled one of the Shabab to replace
him, saying: "Stand up and ask; Abu Ebraheem".

Episode 4
War against Classes
I must pull the attention to the fact that Hizb ut-Tahrir
has contradicted all other political and intellectual
organizations in the Islamic world, even in the whole
world, in its way to allow individuals into its ranks,
where it fought "society class differences" in its
structure, thus not limiting its Dawah to educated
persons, diploma holders, celebrities and society
leaders, whom it tried its best to call. Rather, it
worked as much as it can to allow simple persons,
laymen, workers and labors to its ranks. In various
partisan tasks and roles, it assigned different
partisan duties to its members, taking into account
Page 49 of 224
their interaction with the Dawah, regardless of their
individualities and their positions in society.
Regarding the educated people; as soon as the Hizb
was established a huge number of teachers and
students of intermediate and secondary schools
joined in, those who went to spread the word and try
to gain supporters from their schools, which irritated
General John Globe; the chief of the Arab army and
the real ruler of Jordan at that time, issuing an order
that forbids politics in schools, where the spiteful
administrator of education in Al-Khaleel; "ali hasan
odah" (see #1 below) declared himself a spiteful
enemy of the Hizb and used to leave his office to go
to hussein bin ali's high school where he used to
threaten and punish the students of Hizb in it. When
the thing got wide-spread and all the attempts and
pressures of the education inspector and school
principal "talat al-sayfy" (see #2 below) failed, they
started to transfer the teachers of the Shabab to
other areas as punishment. For example, they
transferred Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem to Al-Shobek,
Asa’ad Bayyodh to Al-Karak, Yakoop Al-Qaysy to
village “Kafr Nii'mah” in Ramallah area, Eid Hamed
Page 50 of 224
Bader to Al-Obeidiyyah in Beit-Lahem area, Mustafa
Al-Joo'bary to the village of Arab Al-Taa'amrah in
Beit-Lahem area. Also, Abdul-Qader Zalloum was
displaced to the village of Anjarah in the area of
Ajloun after being jailed and fired from his job, and
teacher Yusuf Ahmed Al-Sabateen was displaced
from the camp of Okbah Jabr to Al-Khaleel.
When king hussein married queen dina abdulhameed,
he forced all the students of Jordan to
participate in buying a gift for the prides, by
deducting 10 Fils from each student. Student
"Khaleel Ziyadeh" refused to pay that money, where
the school principal "talat al-sayfy" informed the
administrator of education about it, who in turn
conveyed the state-endangering dangerous piece of
news to the chief of region, who in turn called in the
student and uselessly tried to convince him to pay
the 10 Fils, and when he failed he issued the order
to punish the student by transferring him to study in
the schools of Beit-Lahem city.
The most famous among Islamic movements, other
than the 313, before the appearance of Hizb utPage
51 of 224
Tahrir was the movement of Al-Ekhwan Al-
Muslemoon56, which is a movement with long history
in comparison to other movements, as it was
established by Hasan Abdur-Rahman Al-Banna
(watch-fixer), may Allah SWT rest him, during early
30's of the 20th century, in Egypt. It reached Jordan
on the hands of businessman Abdul-Lateef Abu
Qoora, and to Al-Khaleel on the hands of
businessman Esa Abdul-Naby Al-Natshah. This
movement has not reached the level of political
party, rather it remained as a licensed charity,
acceptable and blessed by the rulers, especially in
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. The
establisher of the movement declared from the
beginning in the books of messages57 and the book
"Our Case"58 that they are seekers of ruling nor
change of rulers, rather he considered that a
"charge" that must be rejected!! They declared that
they are after rectifying the affairs under the umbrella
of the king who they deemed "just ruler", thus their
activity was limited in individual call, which means

"Muslim Brotherhood".

rectify the individual, thus the family will be rectified,
thus the society will be rectified.
In Al-Khaleel59 their activities were limited to
individual call to morals and collecting money to
distribute on poor people and charity works, sports
and sportive activities, trips, scouts' teams (see #3
below), medical clinic, weekly lectures every
Thursday in the House of Ekhwan, celebrations in
Islamic anniversaries, projects to memorize The
Qura'an, and all their activities used to be carried out
in their center; the House of Al-Ekhwan Al-
Muslemoon in a leased building in Al-Shohadaa'
Street with its balcony overlooking the Bab Al-
Zawyah Street. Among their activities there were
miscellaneous studies in homes, they called Al-
Usar60. Each Usrah61 had its name, its own financial
budget and its study circles' minutes' book (see #4
below). The number of the members of each Usrah
was unlimited and may reach ten persons or more.
59 The author; Sheikh Taleb Awadallah, is from Al-Khaleel (Hebron) in
West Bank; Palestine, thus many of his memories go into depth regarding
Al-Khaleel.
60 Al-Usar: The Families.
61 Usrah: One Family.
Page 53 of 224
In forming these Usrahs, class separation was
remarkably taken into account. Each Usrah would
gather at a certain day every week on a delicious
dinner, fruits and desserts. Each Usrah is hosted by
one of its members on periodical rotation basis.
There is no certain book to be read in Usrah, all
along a certain and rigid program to memorize The
Holy Qura'an. This description of Usrah applies on it
during late 40's and early 50's, which differs from its
current shape.

in Al-Khaleel and Beit-Lahem, and ministry of

towards Hizb ut-Tahrir. He resisted the Dawah
aggressively since the beginning and he had many
stands in this regard through his job.

Emirates", as he had learned military works during
his engagement in the team of "Najjadah" that was
part of the Holy Jihad against the Brits and Zionists.

Al-Khaleel were "Usrah of Mohammed" that had Mr.
Esa Abdul-Naby and Mohammed Rashad Al-Shareef
in it, and "Usrah of Othman" that had Mr. Abdul-
Qader Zalloum and some traders in it.

Episode 5
Crises that almost destroyed the Hizb
Sticking to principles62
The privilege of the leadership members; the first
halaqa63, was not only that they were cultured by the
Imam Emir, rather they used to have delicate feeling,
high culture, leadership gift, awareness of the
thoughts and ideology in general, prestige and
respect by their mates in Dawah and prior to it, thus
they were key figures before the stage of Dawah and
during it. They lost all this because they left the
Dawah. It is so regretful that the respectful sheikhs,
as they departed the Dawah, were like the fish
62 The word "principles" here indicates thoughts and ideas that are
constant and not subject to change.
63 Halaqa: ring. It indicates a study circle in the Hizb.
Page 56 of 224
departing water. Some of the major indications of
this: some of them signed on the construction of
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and they
pulled out after lengthy disagreement with the
Establisher Emir, the discussions over which took so
long and big number of Shabab and Hizb's Sheikhs,
who were in agreement with the Emir, participated in
these discussions, which concluded in no positive
results. It seemed that they never had the intention
to continue with the Dawah, for one reason or
another. The major disagreement points were:
1- Their insistence that leadership should be
collective, and not for one person. This means
that the decisions of leadership must be taken
by Shura64 and subject to voting.
2- The leadership members at that time, including
the Establisher Sheikh, were all residents of
Syria. When the restrictions and pressures
started on the Hizb and its members in Jordan,
and such actions started to spread against the
64 Shura can be roughly translated as Consultation. The word has more
delicate meaning that can be found in the Hizb's literature.
Page 57 of 224
Hizb from one country to another, the leadership
members asked for the exemption of Syria from
being subject to the Hizb's work, to be safe
haven for the leadership.
After lengthy discussions and exhausting
negotiations, they insisted on their stand. Due to the
firm rejection of the Emir Sheikh for their requests,
they pulled out of the Hizb all together, which caused
turbulence in the Hizb for very short time. This was
overcome by assigning new leadership members to
replace the ones who pulled out. May Allah rest
them and forgive them.
The Hizb, during the stage of society entrance that
started with the launch point, had faced three severe
storms that affected its march negatively. However,
the second of these storms was a destructive
tornado. Because the Hizb constructed its work on a
solid basis; the Islamic Aqeeda65, which forced its
march to be according to the Sharii methodology,
because of that, Allah SWT had protected the Hizb
65 Islamic Creed.
Page 58 of 224
and allowed it out of these storms stronger than ever
each time. These three storms were:
1- Leadership crisis: it realized in the departure of
some of the famous names of the first halaqa,
who are these sheikhs: Nimr Al-Masry, Dawod
Hamdan, Abdul-Ghaffar Katbah, Abdul-Majeed
Abu Laben, and Hashem Abu Amarah.
2- Asa’ad betrayal crisis: it realized in having Mr.
Asa’ad Bayyodh Al-Tamimy pulling out of the
elections race in favor of the government's
candidate, and not being able to stand fast in
front of the government's "stick and carrot"
policy. With his candidacy, the Hizb had
decided to challenge the state and its martial
laws, and all other classes and spectrums of
society stood by the Hizb in this challenge,
including political parties; even Communist
Party and Baa'ath Party and Arab Nationalists.
Thus, standing fast and sticking to this cause
was a matter of life and death for the Hizb and
the whole Ummah, where the state as Sheikh
Ahmed Al-Dao'or said: had inflamed the backs
Page 59 of 224
of the Ummah with its whips, on the hands of
the most criminal government lead by criminal
"sameer al-rifae'y", and in the era of the most
criminal martial governor the infamous "hasan
al-kateb" who supervised the pulling out of
Asa’ad personally. I say "betrayal" because
Asa’ad himself said it to me in person: "I have
betrayed Allah, His Rasool and the Jamaa'ah
of Muslims"66. The Emir's letter came to say:
"Asa’ad is dear to us but Islam is dearer, and
since the betrayal of Asa’ad had been proven,
it has been decided to kick him out of the
Hizb". May Allah rest you, O Abu Talat, you
were our teacher and big sheikh, one of the
pioneers in the Hizb, the companion of Abu
Ebraheem and Abu Yusuf in the Dawah and
before it, you slapped the Hizb and its
challenge in the face so badly, you let down
the Ummah that had put its hope in the Hizb
so badly, and you were awarded by "hasan alkateb"
as he had promised you with an
elegant position; the manager of the house of
66 Rasool: Messenger. Jamaa'ah: Group. The Jamaa'ah of Muslims: The
Islamic Ummah being ruled by the Khalifah (i.e. Caliph). Asa’ad here
meant that he betrayed Muslims in general.
Page 60 of 224
Muslim orphans in Al-Quds, how disgraceful
that such position characterized you as a
traitor, and it is a betrayal indeed, and the soul
is prone to evil.
﴿وَمَا ُأبَرِّئُ نَ ْ فسِي إِنَّ النَّفْسَ َلأَمَّارٌَة بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي إِنَّ رَبِّي غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ﴾ سورة يوسف
[Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the
(human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my
Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oftforgiving,
Most Merciful (53)]67 YUSUF
3- "abdul-naser" crisis, which was almost the final
straw, but Allah SWT was The One to protect
His Dawah. This crisis realized in the ability of
"abdul-naser" to inflame the sympathy of
people with his hackneyed speeches and
publicity-gainer actions, like nationalizing the
Suez Canal, high Aswan Dam, triple attack on
Gazza and Suez by England and France and
Jews, unity between Egypt and Syria68, and
his public enmity against king hussein of

Page 61 of 224
Jordan, president nuri al-sae'eed of Iraq, king
saud of Hijaz and Najd69, where all of them
were hated by people. All these incidents and
other similar ones inflamed the sympathy of
people, that "abdul-naser" reached the stage
of being called "the worshipped by people"70
that some persons reached the stage of
confusing obeying and loving him with
worshipping Allah. During these incidents, the
Hizb stood up to declare "abdul-naser" an
American agent and started to disclose his
agency and conspiracies in statements and
leaflets being distributed to the people, which
generated wide-spread hatred against the
Hizb by everyone, as the Hizb was the only
group in the Ummah that spoke up to alert the
Ummah and warn it from "abdul-naser" and his
agency to the Americans, while the Ummah
collectively, represented by laymen and
parties and establishments and organizations,

Hijaz, and eastern region that has Riyadh and Dammam is Najd.

was praising the man and describing his
heroic attributes.
The storm of "abdul-naser" lasted for long fruitless
years, where the Hizb didn't progress for an inch. On
the contrary, the crisis costed it huge numbers of its
Shabab who fell in love with "abdul-naser", thus
departed the Hizb that stood against the consensus
of the Ummah and challenged the feelings of
everyone.
This is the summary of "abdul-naser" crisis as I lived
it and felt it, and as was lived and felt by the Shabab
and Sheikhs of Dawah.
In order to explain the reason of the insistence of the
Hizb to stick to its negative stand towards "abdulnaser"
and not leaning to the aggressive wave that
was favoring him, we must refer to the book
"Partisan Massing", page 50 and following ones,
where it says:
Page 63 of 224
In this stage71 the Hizb is exposed to two dangers:
principal danger and class differential danger72. The
principle danger comes from the group's trend, and
the wish to meet its instantaneous requests. It is
caused by having the old residuals overcoming the
partisan idea. That's because when the Hizb dives
into society and contacts the public to interact with it,
and to lead it, at the same time of being equipped
with its own principle, the public has many
contradictions of old backward thoughts and inherited
things from the perished generation that
accumulated, all together with dangerous foreign
ideas and mimicking the infidel colonizers. Thus,
when the Hizb interacts with the public, providing it
with the Hizb's opinions and thoughts, working hard
to rectify its concepts, to revive the Islamic Aqeeda in
it, and to create honest atmosphere and good public
customs, through the Hizb's concepts, which requires
calling and campaigning and advertising, to gather
people around it on the basis of principle, in a way
that would strengthen the Ummah's belief in the
principle, and create trust in Hizb's concepts, and
respect and appreciation towards it, and carry the
Ummah to the status of willingness to obey and work.
Then, it's the duty of the Hizb to increase the number
of its believer and trust-worthy Shabab within the
Ummah, to stay in grasp of it, like army officers. If the
71 The stage of interaction with Ummah.
72 The principal danger is detailed above, where class differential danger
is related with the possibility that some Shabab may start to consider
themselves a better class that the rest of the Ummah.
Page 64 of 224
Hizb succeeds in this interaction stage, then it will
lead the Ummah to its wished target within the limits
of principle, ensuring that the train would never get
off tracks.
On the other hand, if the Hizb leads the public before
the completion of interaction with it and before it
creates public opinion in the Ummah, then its
leadership will not be that of the principle rulings and
ideas, rather it will be by diagnosing the feelings of
the Ummah, inflaming its sympathy and emotions,
and leading it to believe that it can acquire its wishes
soon.
However, in this case, this public will not get rid of its
initial emotions, like patriotism, nationalism and priest
spiritualism. Furthermore, collective incidents will
excite this public, such that ridiculous issues like
sectarianism and denominationalism, and old ideas
like independence and freedom, and corrupt
emotions like racist and familial ones. That's when
contradiction will occur between it and the Hizb, as it
will ask for things that do not fit into the Hizb's
principle and call for instantaneous purposes that will
harm the Ummah, also it will get so excited for these
requests and get more and more excited if they
realize, and many bad emotions will appear in it. In
such circumstances, the Hizb will be in-between two
burning options: the first is to be exposed to the
anger of Ummah, its hatred, and getting its control
Page 65 of 224
over it destroyed. The second option is to deviate
from its principle and get loose about it. Both options
are dangerous on the Hizb. Thus, it is a must for the
men of Hizb, when there is contradiction between the
public and the principle, to stick to the principle even
if they get exposed to the anger of the Ummah, as it
would be temporary anger. When they stick to their
principle and stand fast, they will regain the Ummah's
trust in them. They must be alerted not to deviate
from the principle and not to get off tracks for a single
inch, because it's the Hizb's life and the thing that
ensure its existence. To avoid such embarrassing
situations and to push away such danger, the Hizb
must work hard to irrigate the Ummah with its
principle, to keep the clarity of the Hizb's thoughts
and concepts, and to ensure the dominance of their
atmosphere on the Ummah. This would be simplified
by paying extreme care to the culturing period,
paying extra care to the collective culture, making
sure to disclose the plans of colonialism accurately,
looking over the Ummah and its interests day and
night, getting into total fusion with the principle and
Hizb, continuous exploring into the Hizb's thoughts
and concepts to remain pure, and making all kinds of
possible efforts to accomplish all this regardless of
required efforts and deeds.

Episode 6
The Stands of Previous Movements
Some of the most famous scholars and misters who
used to be in Al-Ekhwan Al-Moslemoon joined Al-
Hizb, like Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and others. This
affected the Ekhwan so negatively, that the Mr.
Hasan Al-Banna's son-in-law, Mr. Saeed Ramadhan,
came fast from Egypt. He was then the second man
in the Ekhwan of Egypt after Mr. Abdul-Hakeem
A'abdeen, the other son-in-law of Al-Banna who
used to publish the magazine called "Al-Moslemoon"
in Cairo first then in Switzerland. Mr. Saeed met
Sheikh An-Nabhany in Al-Khaleel, in the house of
Mohammed & Naser Al-Sharabati in order to
convince him to dissolve the Hizb and unit the two
Page 67 of 224
groups, in the presence of very famous Ekhwan
figures like Shokry Abu Rajab Al-Tamimy,
Mohammed Ahmed Sharabati, Esa Saleh Abdul-
Naby Al-Natsha, Abdul-Hafeth Mesbah Moswadda,
Abdul-Fattah Hasan Al-Taher Al-Mohtaseb,
Mohammed Rashad Abdul-Salam Al-Shareef, and
Abdul-Wadood Abu-Gharbiyya Al-Shaa'rawy, but the
meeting concluded in no results. I must pull the
attention to the fakeness of the story that some
books of Ekhwan tell regarding the person who
came from Egypt and that he was Seyyid Qutub. The
person was Saeed Ramadhan and not Seyyid
Qutub.
After the failure of this attempt, intellectual clash
started to take place between the Hizb and the
Ekhwan, and the Ekhwan started very aggressive
and unjust campaign against the members of the
Hizb, not even greeting them and sometimes
considering them Mortads73.
73 Mortad: apostate.
Page 68 of 224
Some authors of Ekhwan claim that Hizb ut-Tahrir
had split apart from their ranks, and this claim is
totally false. In the first Halaqa of Hizb ut-Tahrir there
was not even one single individual from Al-Ekhwan.
Although many of the first to join the Hizb in Al-
Khaleel were from Al-Ekhwan, and more from
Movement 313, and some from the Communist
Party, still Sheikh Taqi-yuddin and his companions
had nothing to do with Al-Ekhwan Al-Moslemoon
whatsoever. Also, Sheikh An-Nabhany had nothing
to do with the group of Emin Al-Husseiny, as being
hinted by some books of Ekhwan. Both claims are
classified as pure lies to achieve disgraceful goals.
It's true that Mr. Abdul-Qader Zalloum had close
friendship with Emin Al-Husseiny, as Abdul-Qader
was member in the Holy Jihad that belonged to the
group of Emin Al-Husseiny prior to his membership
in Al-Ekhwan.
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany became famous
among the people as the establisher of the Hizb, and
although many people used to attack the Hizb and
its call to establish Khilafah State, but the Sheikh
was always respected and by everyone because he
Page 69 of 224
was one of the first sincere teachers, since 1930's,
and he was an example of the excellent Muslim and
Believer in his ethics and morals and behavior, let
alone his wide and vast knowledge as a scholar and
mojtahed. Thus, his eminence was never attacked
by anyone regarding his behaviors. On the contrary,
the extremist enemies of the Hizb used to praise the
Sheikh and his taqwa and Iman. The same applies
for the second Emir of the Hizb, Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Yusuf Zalloum, the patient sheikh who is an
alumni of Al-Azhar and ex-teacher in the high school
of hussein bin ali in Al-Khaleel, the son of His
Eminence Sheikh Yusuf Zalloum, a very famous
Hafith of Qura'an, who was respected and praised by
all. The same for His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-
Dao'or in the city of Qalqeelyah in West Bank. The
love and respect of the people in his area towards
him were obviously seen when he was the only
candidate of Hizb who won in the fake elections
during the era of Tawfeeq Abu Al-Hoda's
government, as the people protected the election
boxes with weapons.
Page 70 of 224
Regarding the claim of some people that the
Establisher Sheikh used to call for Arabic
Nationalism before he established the Hizb, such
claim is totally false. When his book "The Message
of Arabs" is inspected, which was a memo presented
to the cultural conference of the arab league being
held in Alexandria, Egypt, in 08.11.1369 H,
22.08.1950 G, is can be seen clearly that he is
praising Islam and Muslims and not Arabic
Nationalism nor Arabs.74 When this is combined with
what is mentioned in page 30 of "Partisan Massing"
where he states: "Being guided to the Principle by a
person with hyper-sensitive intellect and feelings,
thus it interacts with him until it gets crystal-clear in
him and becomes clear to him, then the first cell
realizes...etc.", it can be seen that when he wrote his
book "The Message of Arabs" he was in the last
stage of the period of interaction between the hypersensitive
intellect and Principle, where he had
already been guided to its details and towards the
beginning of crystallization, and only little confusion
was left to be cleaned out so that the crystallization
74 Refer to the original text of the memo.
Page 71 of 224
becomes stable and clear with no residuals of
whatsoever. The Principle was mature in his mind at
that stage, as "The Message of Arabs" illustrates,
but it was just getting crystallized, and this
crystallization needed further trimming, and whoever
is hyper-sensitive in his search for truth is always in
nonstop search and exploration. The memo implies
that he was during that era in extreme and extensive
search and study of all other principles and periods
of cultural invasion. I don't know if Al-Shafii had an
effect on him, but I heard later on from one of the
Sheikhs that he used to like the book "Al-Moghny
Wal-Sharh Al-Kabeer" for Ebn Qodamah, and that
he intended to give it special spot within the
adoptions of the State when established. Also, the
sentence being repeated by the kids of Ekhwan of
(leave them, they will end where the Ekhwan started)
and that Shaheed Seyyid Qutub said it, this
sentence is untruthful and they made it up for cheap
propaganda, and they were alerted several times
that it's a lie.
Many of the authored books included systematic
blunt lies for evil intentions, especially regarding Hizb
Page 72 of 224
ut-Tahrir. For example, as far as I know Sheikh Al-
Dao'or had never gone to the meetings of Al-Albany.
Another lie is what was mentioned before regarding
who came from Egypt; they claim he was Seyyid
Qutub while he was Saeed Ramadhan. Such lies
can be found in the book called "Seyyid Qutub, the
Living Shaheed" for its author, called yusuf ala'them,
the Ekhwan ex-member in the Jordanian
parliament.
Also, the topic of "Unity of Islamic Movements in One
Islamic Movement" is suitable for cheap propaganda,
like the slogan "Islam is the Solution", and whoever
shouts out for such issues seeks not the face of
Allah SWT and seeks not the goodness of the
Ummah, rather he wants disturbance, useless
arguments and disputes, as history has shown us…
what's the meaning of "unity" or "uniting"? Is it
setting in conferences to negotiate on compromises?
Conferences similar to the conferences of religion
unification they hold under the sponsorship of
Vatican? Or negotiations so this side gives up a little
and that side give up a little? What a weird thing!
The Muslim who carries thoughts he believes in is
Page 73 of 224
not allowed in Islam to set and negotiate these
thoughts, give up some of the, or compromise in
order to unit with others who don't carry the same
thoughts. Otherwise, why didn't the sheikhs of the
four math'habs; Abu Hanifa, Malek, Shafii and Bin
Hanbal do that? It is well-known that evidence is
countered with evidence and proof and countered
with stronger proof, this is Islam, and anything else is
an evil word being said to achieve evil goals.
To be specific regarding Al-Ekhwan Al-Moslemoon,
as some people may wonder, other than the fact that
we all are Muslims, I must ask: what are the
common things between us? What are the closeness
and similarity between us? Are there any common
things in the intellectual domain? Absolutely nothing.
The Dawah of Hizb ut-Tahrir is concentrated on the
fact of being intellectual and political mass based on
stable intellectual foundation, which is the Principle
of Islam, and the Principle is an idea and
methodology of its same kind, and this mass works
to demolish all existing structures from bases in
order to establish on their ruins a unique structure,
and the way to do that is to create the public opinion
Page 74 of 224
through the fusion operation, which requires an open
war on every corruption, in the field of Aqeeda and
intellect and habits and traditions and systems, thus
it does not compromise nor plays the hypocrite, and
never gets involved in what contradicts its ideas,
thus never get involved in legislation in current
existing ruling systems, and doesn't believe in
gradualism, and refuses any principle that
contradicts Islam like democracy, socialism,
capitalism, and secularism; it rejects them in details
and in totality, their roots and their branches. On the
other hand, the call of Ekhwan is built on being a
group not a political mass; it's an individual call
aiming at good manners and considers this to be the
way to its target, where their chain is: rectify the
individual, and then the family gets rectified, which in
turn rectifies the society. This is the concept of
reforming movement; patching one, as they don't
target to demolish of the corrupt society rather
correcting its path while keeping it. Their reformist
steps result in keeping the corruption and not
allowing the Ummah to reach the true progress by
distracting it with empty slogans and improvised
actions, without steady methodology or unifying
Page 75 of 224
intellect, thus they engage in legislation and become
members in kafir governments as ministers ruling
with kufr, and they make cheap propaganda with
useless songs and slogans. Thus, by careful
inspection, there exist absolutely no common ground
for any intellectual closeness between the two calls,
the opposite is correct, as the two movements are in
total contrast and it's impossible to have any
intellectual closeness between them, and any
speech about the necessity of having them uniting is
nothing but fiction.

Episode 7
Detention Camps and Prisons
The desert prison of Al-Jafer, in the desert around
the town of Maa'an southern of Jordan, and it's
special for political prisoners, not ordinary ones.
Many of the Shabab of the Hizb was arrested and
sent there, like Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, Mr. Saleh
Al-Mohtaseb, Mr. Hareth Katbah, and Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Zalloum, and other pioneers in the Hizb.
The reason of mentioning the first three names
wasn't to exclude others, rather to pull attention to
their stories that I'd like to mention. The number of
Shabab who were sent to this prison is huge.
Page 77 of 224
The story of Sheikh Al-Dao'or in Al-Jafer: he was
jailed in Areeha (Jericho) city in Palestine, and then
was moved to Al-Jafer where the guardians are
members of "desert guardians" which is the most
aggressive company in the Jordanian army. It was
established and the selection of its members was
supervised by the leader of the army john globe
pasha. Its members are well-known with their
rudeness, dullness, stupidity, roughness and
extreme love to the ruling regime. When Sheikh Al-
Dao'or was sent there, the guardians were told that
he is a kafir communist despite his clothes, so that
they become tougher and ruder with him, and they
indeed became so. One day, by coincidence, one
guardian entered his cell to find him praying, after he
finished his prayer the guardian said: I see you
praying, man? The Sheikh replied in surprise: And
you want me not to pray, O man? Then the Sheikh
exploded in laughter when the guardian told him the
story, understanding why they were extra tough with
him. The Sheikh exploded in laughter when he told
me the story. The Sheikh, Ahmed Al-Dao'or, had
many stories in jail, which I will mention as much as I
can recall later on insha-Allah. May Allah SWT rest
Page 78 of 224
you and have mercy on your soul, O Abu
Mohammed, and may Him allow you to be with the
good men, you and your brothers of the Sheikhs of
Dawah.
﴿مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً﴾
سورة الأحزاب
[Among the Believers are men who have been true to their
covenant with Allah. of them some have completed their vow
(to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never
changed (their determination) in the least (23)]75 Al-Ahzab
The story of the two virtuous Sheikhs Saleh Al-
Mohtaseb and Hareth Katbah: they were jailed
together in the prison of Al-Khaleel, with many other
Shabab like Sheikh Wajeeh Al-Tamimy and Sheikh
Rabii' Barakat Al-Ash'hab. One day the infamous
Marshal ruler of Jordan, the thug hasan al-kateb
visited the prison of Al-Khaleel, and the custom in jail
that when famous governmental figure visits, jail
manager (abu saleh samarah) or his deputy (fareed
al-jeyosy: abu sameer) approaches each cell and
75 Translation of approximate meaning of verse
Page 79 of 224
says: cell number # is OK. This means that the
residents of that cell must stand up in greeting to the
ruler. The Sheikhs agreed not to stand up whatever
the consequences will be. When he reached the cell,
the guy shouted: Cell number 7 is OK. When no one
stood up, he repeated his shouting several times.
When no one responded, he stuttered and said to
the ruler: my lord; this is the cell of Tahriris76.
The fox started to play the role of an advising saint,
that's when our brother Sheikh Saleh, Abu
Maa'moon, said to him: don't you fear Allah, O man?
Don't you fear Allah, O tyrant? Until when will you
oppress the people and judge them with kufr? The
book of Allah is between us, if you were a Muslim.
That's when our brother Sheikh Hareth continued: It
seems that you don't have mirror in your home, O
man, because if you had had a mirror, you would
have seen the dust of hell on your face, O fuel of fire,
you are destined to hell insha-Allah. That's when he
issued an order to transfer both of them to spend 3
years in the desert prison of Al-Jafer, and that what
76 Tahriri: a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Page 80 of 224
happened, to go out after that with no source to
make living, thus started free works and tasted the
sorrow of life. They have from us to ask Allah to
reward them… Recall them, O brothers, don't forget
them, as they are among us full with patience and
satisfaction.
One of the stories of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, I
recall:
We were dealing with a company in Amman, its
owner is called R.S., a Christian communist, a
famous communist in Jordan, and he was prisoner in
Al-Jafer. We heard that he was released, thus we
went to visit him to congratulate him in his office.
During talking he said: do you know that I thank
Allah because I was released and let out of Al-Jafer.
We replied: everyone is so. He said: no, my situation
was different, because if I had stayed longer for
another one week, I would have had become a
Muslim…. We had in the prison a Muslim sheikh
called Sheikh Al-Dao'or, I bear witness that he isn't a
human; he is an angle of those angles people talk
about. Do you know that we used to wake up early in
Page 81 of 224
the morning to get the privilege of carrying the jug of
Wudu77 for the sheikh?
Yes, indeed, because of my close knowledge of our
Sheikh, Ahmed Al-Dao'or, I am not surprised at all
because of R.S.'s story, as he was, may Allah rest
him and please him and have mercy on his soul, one
of nowadays Sahabah78…. Don't forget them, O
brothers, recall them always and make frequent
prayer to Allah for them.
77 Wudu: the act of washing face, hands, hair surface, ears and feet
before prayer. It's a no-brainer for any Muslim to be aware of it.

Episode 8
The Works of First Phase
After establishing the first cell of the Hizb and
holding the first secretive cells, the Hizb addressed
the people in public, thus Sheikh An-Nabhany made
two khotbas79, one in Al-Masjed Al-Aqsa and the
other was in Al-Masjed Al-Ebraheemy in Al-Khaleel,
where he attacked the agent rulers; the weakling
politicians, who want to make sand bags out of the
Muslims, protecting the kafir colonialist with their
bodies. This inflamed the emotions of people and the
Hizb gained further support and new members, and
created interaction within the society and severe
struggle with other movements. Thus, forced king
79 Speech to public, similar to Friday speech.
Page 83 of 224
abdullah bin hussein, king of Jordan, to call him for a
meeting, and in the meeting there was the chief of
staff of the royal palace sheikh abdullah ghosha. In
the end of the storming meeting, the king extended
his hand to Sheikh Taqi-yuddin asking him to pledge
allegiance by saying "I pledge to be an ally of your
allies and enemy of your enemies". Sheikh Taqi did
not reply, which forced the king to repeat his
sentence three times, very nervously. That's when
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany replied: "I have
already pledged allegiance to Allah to be the ally of
His and His Messenger's allies, and be the enemy of
His and His Messenger's enemies". The king went
crazy, lost his temper, and shouted: you are a
dangerous Sheikh… throw him in jail. I recall that
sheikh ghosah interfered to convince the king not to
jail the Sheikh because he is so beloved by people
and jailing him may inflame their feelings, and so
happened. However, the Sheikh was sent few weeks
later to the desert prison of Al-Jafer upon orders of
the real ruler of Jordan and the leader of army, john
globe pasha.
Page 84 of 224
The Hizb depended on the "Ottoman Associations'
Law" dated on 29.07.1327 H 13.08.1907 G, which
was still effective in West Bank of Palestine, in
declaring the establishment of the Hizb. According to
this law, an association can be established with
declaring the intention to establish it and letting the
authorities in the region or advertising that intention
in a local newspaper. Thus, it sent to the minister of
internal affairs "informing news" through the
governor of Al-Quds, dated 02.03.1953 that the Hizb
has been established according to the effective law,
and the declaration was signed by Sheikh An-
Nabhany, Dawod Hamdan, Moneir Shoqeer, A'adel
Al-Nabulsy, and Ghanem Abdouh. Also, the Hizb
declared his intention in the same time in the weekly
newspaper of "Al-Sareeh", and opened an office in
Hindiyya building at the beginning of Nablus street in
Al-Quds, and a big banner was put on the office's
balcony in the name of "Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir".
Upon this, general john globe pasha sent a group of
police and army that closed the office and removed
the banner by force. The Hizb replaced that by
opening an office in Hindiyya building in Al-Quds and
another in Bab Al-Zawyah street in Al-Khaleel in the
Page 85 of 224
name of office of "Lawyer Dawod Hamdan", and in
Amman after than an office in Al-Salt street in the
name of office of "Engineer Shahaata Ar'ar – Abu
Safwan, and in Beirut the Hizb's office was "Al-Waie
Bookstore" due to the refusal of the memo of
"informing news" by the state, which was sent by the
Hizb in accordance with the effective Ottoman law at
that time.
The excuses of the state to refuse the declared
establishment of the Hizb were, as the minister
himself announced, who was deputy prime minister
at the same time; saeed al-mofty, because the Hizb's
establishing system states its refusal of the principle
of hereditary ruling system as being stated in the
Jordanian constitution, and because it calls for the
election of ruler. Also because the program of the
Hizb refuses nationalism to be the underlying
foundation of the state, rather it calls for the Islam to
be that foundation, which is considered as a
challenge of the legitimacy of the Jordanian regime
and violation of the constitution, and call for
segregation between citizens.

Episode 9
Public Culturing
The Hizb depended on the halaqas being held in
homes with no limitation on the number at the
beginning, to concentrate the focused culture. After
that the halaqa of limited number started, as known
nowadays regarding its shape and organization,
where it's not allowed to eat or drink unless water.
The collective culture: the Hizb worked on teaching
in mosques, and Sheikh Abdul-Qader Zalloum was a
teacher who kept giving lessons in Seerah in Al-
Ebraheemy mosque. Also, speeches used to be
delivered immediately after asr and Friday prayers in
Al-Aqsa mosque in Al-Quds and Al-Ebraheemy
mosque in Al-Khaleel, circulating among sheikhs
Page 87 of 224
Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyodh, Rajab
Bayyodh, Abdul-Sameei' Al-Rifai'y Al-Masry and
others. Those study circles used to be targeted to
cause disturbance, especially by the darkness-lovers
of sufi movements' sheikhs, where they deliberately
used to hold their zikr circles at the same location to
cause disturbance, especially when the person
delivering the speech was Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum. In Amman, the same was done after Asr
prayer in the big Husseiny Mosque. Also, the Hizb
was targeting the weddings, public meetings and all
possible social occasions to spread its Dawah. The
struggle was fierce with other parties, specially the
communist part and baa'ath party, where the pivot of
discussions was to prove that Allah exists and
making fun of their communist, socialist, patriotic and
nationalist ideas. When defeated in discussions, they
used to curse and swear at the Shabab. The city of
Khaleel was hometown of some of their international
leaders like Dawod Abdul-Afow Sinnoqrot, Nimr Al-
Hmood, Khadhr Al-Hmood, Fakhry Asa’ad Maraqa,
Lawyer Awny Sabry Al-Nather, Abdul-Jabbar Al-
Sayyory, Mokhles Amro, Ezz-eddin Merar, Dr.
Ahmed Mohammed Hamza Al-Natsha…etc.
Page 88 of 224
Due to the increasing interest in the Hizb and its
audience, and because of the fierce intellectual
struggle that caused big bang and extreme
interaction in the society, with flood of new recruits,
the government issued a law on 25.01.1955 that
bans delivering speeches and teachings in mosques
without getting permit from the official authorities.
This law was called "Law of Preachment and
Guidance and Khotba and Teaching in Mosques for
the Year 1955", and punishments of jails and fines
were imposed on any violators of this law, thus His
Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or attacked that law
in one of his khotbas in Al-Ebraheemy mosque,
making the analogy between that law and the law of
selling Khamr80 in bars, and when the committee of
ruler's sheikhs approved the law, so-called "Islamic
scholarly committee" upon the order of john globe
pasha, Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum attacked the
idea of having clergymen in Islamic life, and he also
attacked the uniform that distinguish the scholars, in
an inflammatory khotba in Al-Ebraheemy mosque,
80 Alcoholic drinks: banned by Islam.
Page 89 of 224
where he said: "If it weren't for the fact that Hizb ut-
Tahrir doesn't believe in partial issues, I would have
taken this turban off and stepped on it with my feet,
despising it and whoever wears it" - the Sheikh then
and since his graduation from Al-Azhar used to wear
the scholarly uniform of turban and jubbah. This was
surprising because the Sheikh was famous with his
patience and cold nerve, but his excitement was so
extreme during that khotba, and that was the only
time I see him that excited. The Hizb challenged the
government by delivering khotbas after the law
became legal, and some of the Shabab were jailed
after that for this reason, among them Mr. Abdullah
Abu Zakyah and others. Sometimes the prayers
used to protect the Shabab who deliver the khotbas
as happened to Ahmed Bayyaa'a who was protect
by the prayers against the security apparatus inside
the mosque and got him out of mosque and town,
and that took place when he delivered the statement
of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Al-Ebraheemy mosque for the
occasion of the visit of Rome's Pope to Al-Quds and
Jordan. The Hizb made up for that with Friday
khotbas that was delivered by Sheikh Hamed Abdul-
Ghaffar Tahboob in Al-Qazzazeen mosque in AlPage
90 of 224
Khaleel, where the sheikh was a teacher in the
schools of education and assigned Imam for that
mosque by the awqaf, and after that by Friday's
khotbas by Sheikh Wajeeh Al-Khateeb Al-Tamimy in
Al-Ebraheemy mosque and Sheikh Jameel Al-
Khateeb Al-Kanany in Al-Aqsa mosque. In this
occasion, I mention the sheikhs of evil; members of
so-called "islamic scholarly committee", who obeyed
general john globe and disobeyed Allah SWT, those
evil persons who feared john globe and didn't fear
Allah SWT, signing on the law with their names
without being ashamed.
This unjust law # 1 for year 1955 that was approved
by the parliament and committee's members of by
their letter number 3145 dated 16.05.1374 H
10.02.1955 G, addressed to judge of judges, who
were:
1- abdullah ghosah – president of committee
2- hamza al-arabi – manager of shariite
3- nadeem al-mallah – member of islamic affairs
counsel
4- hilmi al-mohtaseb – sharii judge of Al-Quds
Page 91 of 224
5- abdul-hay arafa – mufti of Al-Khaleel
6- mash'hor al-dhamen barakat
7- yusuf tahboob
8- a'adel abdul-salam al-shareef – fatwa
secretary – Al-Quds.
And in his letter to the parliament, the mufti of
Jordan, abdullah al-qalqeely, dated 23.04.1374 H
and 17.01.1955 G, approved the law.
And in an undated letter the law was supported by
the president of Al-Khaleel municipality and the
famous english agent, mohammed ali al-jaa'bary. In
his letter dated 02.05.1374 H 26.01.1955 G sheikh
abdul-hameed al-saae'h supported the law, who was
the president of sharii appeal court, and chairman of
Palestinian parliament later on. In his letter dated
28.04.1374 H 22.01.1955 G the law was supported
by the member of sharii appeal court sheikh othman
al-shanqeety. In a letter dated 30.04.1374 H
25.01.1955 G the list of hypocrites had a new
member with his letter supporting the law; member
of sharii appeal court mohammed fal al-baydhawy alshanqeety.
Another evil name joined the list of
Page 92 of 224
hypocrites with his letter 03.05.1374 H 27.01.1955,
the general inspector of sharii courts, sheikh hilmi aledreesy.
I say: If you see the scholars entering the
sultan's door, then despise them as they are traitors,
and never entrust them for your religion, never. In his
comment on the law, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or
mentioned in his khotba in Al-Ebraheemy mosque in
Al-Khaleel saying: They want to give us permit to
order the good and forbid the evil, similar to the
permit of khamr. Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, as
mentioned before, said in one of his khotbas in the
same mosque: If it weren't for the fact that Hizb ut-
Tahrir doesn't believe in partial issues, I would have
taken this turban off and stepped on it with my feet,
despising it and whoever wears it.
As Prophet Mohammed SAW told us that the scholar
who doesn't work in accordance to his knowledge
will be punished before idol worshippers.

Episode 10
The Struggle with Rulers
After being released from Al-Jafer prison, Sheikh
Taqi-yuddin left Jordan to stay temporarily in Syria,
then he moved to Lebanon. The Shabab used to
travel to Damascus, then to Beirut so that he
personally supervises them in condensed halaqas,
especially in the book of "Partisan Massing" and the
book of "Concepts of Hizb ut-Tahrir". The persons
who didn't travel, or couldn't travel, they were given
the halaqas on the hands of Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum, and when he left to Baghdad the task was
done by Sheikh Ezz-eddin Al-Khateeb (the judge of
judges in Jordan nowadays), Sheikh Ahmed Al-
Dao'or, Sheikh Abdul-Qader Zalloum, Wajeeh AlPage
94 of 224
Khateeb, Emin Shannar, Nitham Hussein, Ghanem
Abdouh, and others.
In the year 1954 the Hizb published his weekly
newspaper "Ar-Rayah"81 which had its Chief of
Editing Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and
Secretary of Editing Moneer Shoqeir, and it used to
be published every Tuesday, in a totally different
shape when compared to all other newspapers, as it
had no ads or pictures, and it used to spread the
thoughts of Hizb and expose the plots of colonialism.
The newspaper attacked the idea of clergymen in
Islam and their distinguished uniform in analogy to
the men of priesthood and their uniforms. It also
attacked the so-called "islamic scholarly committee"
mentioned in episode 9. This led to its closure after
14 weeks. Then the Hizb rented the weekend edition
of the Lebanese newspaper "Hadharah"82 to replace
Ar-Rayah for sometime. Also, many of the Shabab
were able to write in many newspapers in Jordan,
Egypt and Lebanon.

Regarding the political leaflets; they were distributed
in a struggling manner; hand to hand, at one certain
time all over Jordanian cities, and the instruction in
the first leaflet was that whoever is caught while
distributing the leaflets should confess that the
source if Mr. Tawfeeq Es'haq Abu Khalaf. In the
second leaflet the instruction was to indicate Ahmed
Mesk as the source, for all locations. When Ahmed
Mesk was sentence to 1 year in jail, the instructions
for subsequent leaflets were to indicate names
unknown by the intelligence apparatus, like "Taleb
Awadallah" or "Shaker Fadhlallah". Once in 1958 the
leaflet was sent by mail to the authority people in Al-
Khaleel, causing raids on the homes and stores of
the Shabab, and when the same leaflet was found at
some locations, the Shabab were arrested and
tortured by severe beating in a stable, like what
happened to Khaled Ahmed Ahmaroo and Hatem
Mesbah Naser-eddin, on the hands of the
intelligence sergeant "mohammed majja" and later
they were sentenced to 2 years in jail. The
intelligence arrested many other Shabab and
interrogated them, like Abdul-Qader Zalloum, Eid
Hamed Bader, Naser Ahmed Al-Sharabaty, Hatem
Page 96 of 224
Naser Al-Sharabaty, Yakoop Shaker Al-Sharabaty,
Yunus Hamadah Quneiby, Zoheir Abdul-Qader
Maraqah (substitute of missing)83, Khaleel Ziyadah,
Emin Hasan Al-Honeiny, Saleh Abdul-Salam al-
Mohtaseb, Salmy Borhom, Afeef Edrees Al-Khateeb,
Mohammed Badawy Al-Natshah – the poet, Abdul-
Salam Mesbah Naser-eddin. They were sent to court
in front of supervisor of Khaleel; mahmood hindawy,
who sentenced all of them to compulsory residence
and all were obliged to prove their existence for 1
year, according to the law of crime prevention.
During one monthly session in one of the houses in
the old city of Al-Khaleel in the summer of 1959,
there were about 40 Shabab, the majority of whom
escaped by jumping on the roofs of neighboring
houses when the police and intelligence raided the
place, headed by the city police station officer
mohammed saleem, abu a'adel. This happened one
83 It's funny to mention that our brother Sheikh Zoheir Maraqah (Chief of
Clans in Palestine nowadays) was not at that time in the Hizb yet, and
when police came to arrest his brother, Jibreel, and couldn't find him as he
had left to Germany to join university there, they arrested his brother
Zoheir instead, and that was a policy adopted by the Jordanian
intelligence apparatus, and people used to make fun of it, saying "that
person was arrested as a substitute of a missing". Translator: this
comment was written by the author at the end of the episode, and I
thought it's better to have it as a footnote.
Page 97 of 224
year later and 7 of the Shabab, who were arrested,
were sent to court in front of the thug hasan al-kateb,
marshal ruler at the time, among them: Wajeeh Al-
Khateeb Al-Tamimy, Naser Ahmed Al-Sharabaty,
Yakoop Es'haq Al-Honeiny, Abdul-Qader Al-Kafrawy,
Yaseen Al-Joneidy. They were sentences for 1 year
of compulsory residence with the necessity to visit
the police station 4 times a day and never leave
home during night. During the interrogation session
before court, intelligence sergeant al-hosany in the
police station in Al-Khaleel, in the street of Bab Al-
Zawyah, threatened the elderly man Yaseen Al-
Joneidy to rape him if he doesn't cooperate, which
our brother used to criticize them and inflame the
feelings of people against those thugs, getting to the
balcony of the police station which overlooks the
area of taxi cars, calling the people and asking for
their help: Help O Muslims, the government wants to
rape me, which inflamed the people so much.
Few months later some of the Shabab, around 10,
were arrested for the charge of membership in Hizb
ut-Tahrir, among them: Wajeeh Edrees Al-Khateeb
Al-Tamimy, Rabeei' Barakat Al-Ash'hab, Hatem
Page 98 of 224
Naser Al-Sharabaty, Yakoop Shaker Al-Sharabaty,
Badawy Mohammed Badawy Al-Sharabaty,
Mohammed Badawy Al-Natshah; the poet, Hareth
Abdullah Katbah, Saleh Abdul-Salam Al-Mohtaseb.
The incident that took place when the thug hasan alkateb
visited the prison and how the Shabab refused
to stand for him, and what our brothers Hareth
Katbah and Saleh Al-Mohtaseb said to him was
mentioned in episode 9. That's when hasan al-kateb
started to curse and swear at the Hizb, accusing it
with agency to americans and international
communism at the same time. The same happened
in court, when these two brothers challenged the
judge and that he is ruling with kufr and will be
destined to hell if he doesn't repent and assist Islam
and become an enemy of the kafir regime instead of
his service to the kufr and tyranny, which made the
judge loose his temper cursing at them and the Hizb
and accusing them with agency to america and
communists. Our brothers Saleh Al-Mohtaseb and
Hareth Katbah were sentenced to 1 year in desert
prison of Al-Jafer, and the rest to compulsory
residence with 2 visits to police stations every day
for 1 year.
Page 99 of 224
For the same reason other Shabab were arrested
later on, and they were asked to declare the
innocence of the Hizb, I recall of them: Rabeei'
Barakat Al-Ash'hab, Mohammed Al-Sharabaty, Emin
Hasan Al-Honeiny, Mohammed Badawy Al-Natshah
- the poet. Later, the assigned member of parliament
ismail hijazy (minister of agriculture later on)
interfered to convince them to declare their
innocence of the Hizb to get out of prison, which
made Mohammed Badawy to criticize him severely
and kick him out calling him a soldier of Satan.
Due to the increased pressure on the Shabab of
Hizb, especially the teachers in governmental
schools, being chased and arrested and fired, big
number of the Shabab left the region to work in the
field of teaching in the gulf countries like Abdul-
Qader Zalloum and Emin Al-Honeiny, who were
chased from Qatar to Emirates to Bahrain by
members of other groups; they were chased at the
regimes by informing against them that they are
members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, thus once they got
settled in one country, soon they were kicked out of
Page 100 of 224
it, and so on elsewhere. The chase extended to the
students of Hizb who were studying in the
universities in Al-Hijaz, by the same groups; may
Allah forgive them and guide them to the correct
path.
The policy of "Shaking the tree to get rid of useless
objects"84 that was implemented by Sheikh Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany resulted many times in getting
rid of big numbers of Shabab who were not in
harmony with the Dawah, so the struggling leaflets
and other partisan works that all the Shabab were
asked to do including employees, served for that
purpose. This resulted in many arrests and courts for
the Shabab, and not everyone was able to handle
that. Some of them acted in response to the
pressures of government and declared innocence of
the Hizb in local newspaper and left the Hizb. Some
of them refrained from doing the instructions
because of fear, thus left the Dawah. It's well known
that that policy of "tree shaking" has comforted the
Hizb of serious number of Shabab, including some
هز الشجرة لإسقاط النفل عنها 84
Page 101 of 224
famous and pioneer ones, who were not of the same
kind of the Dawah; not in harmony with it, like Sheikh
Rajab Bayyodh Al-Tamimy, Skeikh Abdul-Hay Arafa,
Sheikh Ezz-eddin Al-Khateeb Al-Tamimy, the later
one because of his violation when he accepted a gift
from prime minister wasfy al-tal, a personal pistol.
Also, Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat for his violation
when he sent solicitation to king hussein from jail
accompanied by a poem of hypocrisy to the royal
family called "You guided us to the way" as he was
sentenced for 3 years in the prison of Erbed, thus
Sheikh Taqi issued the decision to kick him out of
the Hizb for that reason, and the regime rewarded
him by assigning him a minister of awqaf. The "tree
shaking" with Sheikh Ezz-eddin was that the Emir of
the Hizb asked him to return the pistol to wasfy al-tal
as a rejection not as an apology, and when Ezzeddin,
Abu Nader, feared to do that, he was kicked
out of the Hizb, where he was rewarded by the
regime with elite positions, including minister, until
he got into his current position of "judge of judges".
I'd like to mention, at the same time, that many left or
was kicked out of the Hizb as a result of that policy,
but big number too left the Hizb because the road
Page 102 of 224
seemed to long to them, some out of boredom, and
some looked to comfortable life away from prisons
and harassments of regime. Such individuals
remained loyal to the Hizb, supporting its ideas. It's
worth-mentioning that no one worth-mentioning has
left the Hizb due to an intellectual disagreement or
methodology disagreement or details regarding the
road except those mentioned under the topic of
"leadership ordeal" and some persons who wanted
to reach the target fast through materialistic work.
The plan of the Hizb was to use the dome of
parliament as a stand to spread Dawah, thus it
entered the election battle for Jordanian parliament
during the time of the government of "tawfeeq abu
al-hoda" the year 1954, where Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyodh and Abdul-
Ghaffar Katbah were named as candidates for Al-
Khaleel, Dawod Hamdan for Al-Quds, Ahmed Al-
Dao'or for Toolkarem, Mohammed Mosa Abdul-Hady
for Jenin, and Ghanem Abdouh for Amman.
Because of the blunt falsification, only Sheikh Al-
Dao'or won because his town people protected the
elections boxes with weapons. IN the elections of
Page 103 of 224
1956, Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad
Bayyoudh and Yusuf Al-Zogheir were named for Al-
Khaleel, Fares Edrees for Al-Quds, Mohammed
Mosa Abdul-Hady for Jenin, Ghanem Abdouh for
Amman, and Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat for
Erbed. For the same reason only Sheikh Al-Dao'or
won.
After that Ali Fahkr-eddin was named as candidate
for Beirut and Othman Safiyyah for Tarablus85 in
Lebanon, and neither won. The Hizb repeated that in
1964 by naming Sheikh Yusuf Baa'darany, Abu
Rabeei', and he didn't win too… Sheikh Yusuf
Baa'darany currently resides in Beirut. He recently
authored many unique and edge-cutting books in
various fields, like "Family is a Castle Shielded by
Allah and His Messenger" - Part 1: "The Wife with
her Husband", Part 2: "The Son with his Father and
Mother", "Hijacking the World; an American Plan",
"The Europeans' Hatred of Islam; a Conspiracy in its
Second Millennium", "Christianity: a Roman
Conspiracy against Humanity", "The Black Hole in
85 Tripoli.
Page 104 of 224
the Western Intellectuality"...etc. May Allah protect
our Sheikh Yusuf and reward him the best of
rewards86.

Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, Abu Muhammed, was the
candidate of the Hizb in the elections of 1956 for a
seat of "Toolkarem", where the Hizb nominated
Dawod Hamdan for Al-Quds, Ghanem Abdouh for
Amman, Mohammed Moosa Abdul-Hady for Jenin,
Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat for Erbed, Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyoudh and Abdul-Ghaffar
Katbah for Al-Khaleel. Sheikh Ahmed was the only
one to make it, where the people of Toolkarem and
Qalqeelyah87 guarded the election boxes with
87 Two cities in West Bank, Palestine.

weapons, thus not allowing the state to manipulate
the elections as it did everywhere else. This cycle
was called: tawfeeq abu-hoda false election cycle.
The elections that followed was in 1958 where the
Hizb nominated Fares Edrees for Al-Quds, Ghanem
Abdouh for Amman, Ahmed Al-Dao'or for Toolkarem,
Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyoudh and
Yusuf Al-Sagheer for Al-Khaleel. Only Sheikh Al-
Dao'or won. Five of the leaders of Al-Ekhwan won:
Muhammed Abdul-Rahman Khaleefah – director
general of Ekhwan in Jordan, Abdul-Baqy Jammo in
Zarqa, Mash'hoor Al-Dhamen Barakat in Nablus,
Yusuf Al-Athem in Maa'an, Dr. Hafeth Abdul-Naby in
Al-Khaleel. The matter of fact is that their presence
in the parliament wasn't any different from the
presence of any marginal member. He was, may
Allah rest him, the only one not to agree on any draft
law to be handled by the parliament. Also, he was,
may Allah rest him, the only one not to vote in favor
of any government. Also, he was the only one not to
participate in any commission of the parliament.
When the votes were cast, in favor or against the
government of suleyman al-nabulsy, he won the trust
of 59 members -including all 5 members of EkhwanPage
107 of 224
and the only one to cast his vote against al-nabulsy
was our Sheikh, Ahmed Al-Dao'or, who started his
speech as follows: (I put this statement of mine in
your hands to expose the transparent cover that
hides the colonialist nature of this government). After
that martial law government came, virtually headed
by ebraheem hashem, while the real ruler was the
blood-sucking thug, sameer al-rifai'y. This time,
Sheikh Al-Dao'or was threatened with a gun in his
head88, but again he voted against this thug's
government, he was the only one to vote against it.
This time, he started his speech as follows: (My
brothers, this government, the government of
ebraheem hashem, rather the government of sameer
al-rifai'y, and after it inflamed the back of this
Ummah with its wipes, had been rude enough to
come and beg you your trust, as the poet said:
yesterday he kept torturing people, and today he
plays doctor…) here all the ministers and members
withdrew from the session and didn't allow him to
88 To emphasize the issue: When Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or made it clear
that he would not vote in favor of that government, one of the
government's bastards put a gun in his head and had his finger on the
trigger, threatening Sheikh Ahmed to pull the trigger if he doesn't change
his mind. Fearlessly; having already sold himself to Allah, Sheikh Ahmed
refused to change his mind. At the end of the day, he was the only one to
vote against the government.
Page 108 of 224
continue, but the speech was printed and distributed
later on. During the partial elections for Al-Khaleel
seat, Sheikh Ahmed tried to interfere to relieve some
of the pressures imposed on Asa’ad Bayyoudh to
force him to withdraw, but he wasn't allowed to
continue his journey to Al-Khaleel. After the betrayal
of Asa’ad Bayyoudh and his withdrawal in favor of
the candidate of agent ismail hijazy's government,
the state had the courage to jail him while he was
member of parliament, and he was sentenced by a
martial court to three years in the desert jail of Al-
Jafer, despite his parliamentary immunity, which was
taken off him with the approval of all other members
of parliament, including the 5 members of Ekhwan,
except Wasef Anabtawy, member of Nablus, who
was the only man in the parliament. The majority of
the Sheikh's declarations and statements were
printed and distributed to people, the most famous of
which is (Refutation of Civil Law).
The Sheikh, and out of my personal contacts with
him, was brilliant in intellect, vast in knowledge,
strong, challenging, outspoken, one of the Mojahids
during the Jihad era in Palestine. Until his recent
Page 109 of 224
years I used to visit him in his house in Amman, Al-
Lowaibdah Mountain, to complete my education on
his hands, which I started in the 1950's when he was
member of parliament. Thus, I am proud of being
one of his students, may Allah rest him, have mercy
on his soul, and allow him to the paradise, insha-
Allah.
Before that government, there was the government
of agent suleyman al-nabulsy, who got the trust of all
members of parliament, including Ekhwan ones,
except Sheikh Al-Dao'or. He started he speech as
follows: (The government of suleyman al-nabulsy
has come to this parliament with its declaration, thus
becoming like previous ones in its reality;
deliberately rejecting Islam and allying with the
colonialists, but it increased the dosage of its political
faking and extreme cheating. As I stand up to
discuss this declaration to illustrate some dangers it
has and to expose the transparent cover it has on its
face to hide the nature of colonialism and cover for
its manipulations with implicit expressions…etc). In a
previous session, he responded to the declaration of
sae'eed al-mofty's government, who had charkas
Page 110 of 224
origins; His Eminence addressed sae'eed al-mofty
saying: (the declaration calls for arab nationalism,
while the prime minister is charkas whose fathers
and grandfathers escaped from their countries to
protect their religion, so what arab nationalism are
you calling for?) criticizing nationalism harshly with
other statements.
One of the ironies that were witnessed in the
parliament was regarding the law of joint-stock
companies, where the Sheikh explained why those
companies are invalid and rejected by Islam due to
their conditions that contradict partnership conditions
in Islam. He also emphasized that it's big sin to force
people to establish such companies. His speech was
interrupted by lawyer Mohammed Abdul-Rahman
Khaleefah, director general of Ekhwan in Jordan,
who was surprised how his colleague Al-Dao'or says
it’s haram89 while Prophet Muhammed SAW had
established similar one with his wife Khadeejah, may
Allah be pleased with her!! It was so funny and tragic
at the same time, as I cannot imagine Mr. Khaleefah,
89 Forbidden in Islam
Page 111 of 224
a lawyer and director general of Ekhwan, being
unaware of the big difference between joint-stock
(mosaahamah) company and entrepreneur
(modhaarabah) company, like the one between
Prophet Muhammed SAW and his wife Khadeejah.
Rather, his objection was for an intention he had in
his mind, apparently accomplished later on. How
petty it is for some people to unjust themselves and
how petty it is for someone to place himself as a rock
in the face of a call to adhere to the rules of Islam.
For those who don't know the men of that period:
sameer al-rifai'y, father of abdul-muni'em al-rifai'y:
permanent representative of Jordan in the united
nations, and a prime minister later on, was one of
the most blood-sucking thugs and criminals in
Jordan, and most devoted to his english masters. He
was also brutal in his treatment with people, that he
declared every teacher who won't get back to work
fired when teachers went on strike, in 1956 as I
recall, forcing them to cease their strike. One of the
sayings people used to say during his governments
implies the bad conditions they used to live:
(sameer's year has no wheat, no malt, and no
Page 112 of 224
water), and it was noticed that during this thug's
years the conditions used to become severe; no rain
and no food…etc. It's to be mentioned that the
Establisher Sheikh used to pray to Allah not to take
sameer's soul until the Khilafah State is established,
so he burns from the inside. Thus, ebraheem
hashem was prime minister in name, and sameer
was the one in reality. Ebraheem hashem, on the
other hand, was one of the infamous students of
general globe pasha, a devoted servant to the
english, but he was as criminal as sameer. He
became prime minister during the time of king
abdullah bin hussein, then king hussein bin talal.
When the arab union was established between
Jordan and Iraq, as a response to the unity between
Egypt and Syria, ebraheem hashem was appointed
prime minister of the union, maybe because he was
too old. And when the coup of abdul-kareem qasem
took place in Iraq, 14 July 1958, against the royal
family, the people looked after the heads of
corruption and agents, killed them and dragged them
along the streets, among whom there was king
faisal, his crown prince abdul-ilah, the majority of
men and women of criminal royal family, and bloodPage
113 of 224
sucking thug prime minister nuri al-sae'eed, the
creator of the idea of Baghdad alliance, who was
hiding in woman's clothes. Also, among them there
was ebraheem hashem, may Allah have no mercy
on any of them. That ministry came immediately
after the era of fake luxury and pre-fabricated
freedoms of the government of the perished
suleyman al-nabulsy. This suleyman al-nabulsy alpasha
was an infamous agent of the english, but he
used to hide with abdul-haleem al-nimr behind the
curtain of patriotism. They established the
constitutional patriot party and had (al-meethaq)
newspaper, which was accustomed to slander His
Eminence Sheikh An-Nabhany. During his
government he lifted all pressures and allowed
people to do and say what they want, to expose the
parties and men. Thus, during his period, the
secretive parties got relaxed, like the communist
party and al-baa'ath party and arab nationalists. As
they got exposed, and after suleyman's government
was gone, the intelligence apparatus faced no
trouble during the martial law government in
arresting and jailing everyone, thus prisons got overcrowded
in an unbelievable manner, and tyranny
Page 114 of 224
reached extreme levels against all society's
spectrums.
Al-pasha is the master of the reckless journalist;
hashem al-saba', editor of (al-sareeh) weekly
newspaper, which al-pasha used to use indirectly to
attack Hizb ut-Tahrir and disgrace Sheikh Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany. Through this newspaper they
released their rumors, like getting a check in the
amount of $50,000 from the American embassy in
Beirut, a Cadillac car and beautiful secretary…etc
and so on of cheap lies with no purpose but
downgrading the Hizb and its men. It's to be noticed
that such campaigns got the Hizb new members,
who weren't aware of the Hizb before. It's shameful
that individuals of Ekhwan got with the current and
exposed their inner hatred towards the Dawah by
repeating the lies and rumors of these campaigns
wherever they went. We wish them guidance from
Allah. The jewish israeli (sarah amram) disclosed
later on in her book (an israeli woman in the
hashemite kingdom of jordan) that she was working,
before getting back to Al-Quds with the aid of
Page 115 of 224
international inspectors, as a secretary to al-pasha
and al-sareeh newspaper.
The words and statements of Sheikh Ahmed in the
parliament used to be printed in booklets with the
Hizb's unique cover page and distributed to people.
Also, all statements and declarations and speeches
in the parliament by and among members used to be
printed periodically in the official newspaper.
Regarding the election fights that followed the
nominations; these fights caused tough interactions
and struggles with other movement and parties that
participated in the elections, where the Shabab used
the opportunity of election campaigning to spread
the ideas of Hizb among the people, and the struggle
exceeded the intellectual level to hand fights
sometimes, as the Shabab were met in some
villages and districts with stones not to allow them to
enter to campaign. Some individuals of the village in
beyt amr, around Al-Khaleel, had stood against His
Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and his
friend Naser Al-Sharabaty90, and they managed to
90 His son; Hatem Naser Al-Sharabaty, has a website (www.sharabati.org)
where he has put a B&W picture of Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty.
Page 116 of 224
get the kids to stone their car not to allow them to
enter the village, and they got what they wanted as
the Sheikh and his friend went back. Later on, one of
the heads of the village (y.a'.) who did that dirty job,
used to express his deep regrets for what he had
done and how he was paid to do that against the
Hizb's candidate by the candidate of constitutional
patriot party (al-pasha's party) member sae'eed alezzah.
Sometimes attacks against the meetings the
Shabab used to hold were conducted in the districts
and neighborhoods. And in order to paralyze the
activity of the Hizb and not to allow its men to reach
the parliament, there were suspicious coalitions
between some movements and the government and
its candidates. Our Shabab had faced, and are still
facing the torture by rulers and harms by people,
they were chased and fired from their jobs, but they
never leaned in front of a tyrant and they never
bowed to anyone but Allah; whoever stood fast of
them of course, and those are so few, while many of
them dropped out and failed when the tree was
shaken, or during the ordeal of sticking to principle.
Thus, the ones who remained in the Dawah and the
giant brilliant kind of individuals, those who resemble
Page 117 of 224
the Companions of Prophet Muhammed SAW and
the students of Esa bin Mariam, peace by upon both
of them.
Explanation
In the session of Jordanian parliament that was held
to take the decision of expelling their colleague,
member Ahmed Al-Dao'or, where all members
approved the decision to expel Sheikh Ahmed
except member Anabtawy of Nablus, including the 5
members of Ekhwan. There is no problem in
mentioning this incident, rather it must be mentioned
and declared, and not saying this is simply hiding
facts and history faking and contradictory to saying
Haq in an outspoken manner. The members of
Ekhwan who agreed to expel their colleague Skeikh
Ahmed Al-Dao'or, the member of Toolkarem, are:
Lawyer muhammed abdul-rahman khaleefah:
director general of ekhwan in Jordan, sheikh abdulbaqy
jammo: member of ekhwan for Al-Zarqa area,
mr. yusuf al-athem: member of ekhwan for Maa'an
Page 118 of 224
area, and the owner of (Al-Aqsa schools) in Amman,
sheikh mash'hoor al-dhamen barakat: member of
ekhwan for Nablus area, dr. hafeth abdul-naby alnatsheh:
member of ekhwan for Al-Khaleel:
president of association of patient friends in Al-
Khaleel nowadays.

Episode 12
Regarding “Shaking the Tree to get rid of
Useless Objects”
Our respectful Sheikhs have made sure, especially
the Establisher Sheikh, may Allah rest him, to gain
sound and strong members to the Hizb, such that
they can be considered as ‘true pregnancy. He used
to hate to have persons whose maturity is not
certain, thus describing them as ‘false pregnancy’.
The argument of the Sheikhs has always been:
having huge number of Shabab must be consistent
with the reality that the new comers have joined with
steady and sound persuasion and belief, not
because of wild emotions. The danger of having new
joiners because of wild emotions is a proven danger.
Page 120 of 224
Sheikh Abu Yusuf used to state (behind closed
doors) that the wildly emotional new comers would
not last long. This assessment attracted my
attention, regarding some of the most excited new
comers, thus I asked him: How is it consistent with
their huge activities? He laughed and answered:
When the fire is caught by dry sticks, it spreads fast
and creates eye-catching brightness. However, it
soon goes away and vanishes. While, when the fire
is caught by wet sticks, it spreads out so slowly, but
hardly goes away. This is the difference between the
intellect-based gaining and emotion-based gaining;
we want Shabab who are convinced intellectually not
emotionally, as the second type cannot be entrusted
in harsh times. Useless objects on any tree will not
improve, thus they will drop off sooner or later, so
instead of waiting for a wind to throw them away, we
can shake the tree a little bit to get rid of those
useless objects, thus keeping the useful objects
only. Distributing leaflets in a challenging manner
may lead to prison, or losing job, thus whoever isn’t
mature intellectually, or whoever hasn’t reached the
total conviction in the obligation of Dawah and the
obligation of its tiny details, such individuals will
Page 121 of 224
refrain from the distribution, thus will dismiss
themselves from the Hizb, getting relieved and
relieving others. If the Hizb doesn’t conduct the
operation of tree-shaking, such individuals will
remain as if they were part of the Dawah, and we will
get very disappointed if we need them during harsh
times; since they will leave anyways, the sooner the
better.
As a result of this policy, which used to be
implemented whenever the number of new joiners
increases, many useless objects fell down who
would have otherwise be considered as part of the
Dawah. It is funny that all those who were assessed
to be emotional individuals by Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
had fallen and left the Dawah quietly. The majority of
them entered from one door and exited from the
other, leaving no fingerprints whatsoever. Others fell
after harsh tree-shaking operations and severe tests,
like Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat, who was tested
with imprisonment and couldn’t handle it, and Sheikh
Ezz-eddin Al-Khateeb, who was tested with career
and couldn’t handle it; everyone who had and have
fallen has left unique story, but the most important
Page 122 of 224
thing: this all happened as a result of the policy of
(shake the tree to get rid of useless objects).
Page 123 of 224
Episode 13
Launch Point
The Hizb, during the phase of culturing, was
engaged in the processes of halaqa establishment
and contacting people to discuss with them the ideas
of Dawah and to get them into halaqas. During this
phase, the high emotions of the Shabab were
apparent, as the effects of culturing efforts were
realized in further development of halaqas and
creation of public opinion. The conduct of the Hizb’s
instruments and Shabab regarding debates,
discussions and halaqas was so distinguishable, and
used to give virtual big image regarding the
Shabab’s number, which lead people to think that
Page 124 of 224
they are much more than reality. The Dawah so
soon realized in individual and was felt by people,
and the Hizb started to hope for the society to carry
the Dawah with it, thus lessons in mosques and
lectures were wide-spread… and there was the first
conflict with authorities. At that moment, the Hizb felt
it’s necessary to address the people, thus it started
that in 1954 with the release of the leaflet of (Launch
Point). That’s when the Hizb moved from the phase
of culturing to the attempt to address the Ummah in
a very natural way. It became a necessity to start
issuing statements and leaflets, and fabricate
methods to address general public in the name of
the Hizb. Thus, it tried to issue a partisan
newspaper, but its attempts started to stumble
because leaflets require incidents to happen first,
while the whole region was silent and almost in a
state of comma during 1954 and first part of 1955.
That’s why the Hizb issued the leaflet of (Political
Mobilization) so that wilayah91 and mahalliyyah92
91 Wilayah is the second class in the Hizb's administrative law. It's similar
to Province. Examples are the Wilayah of Jordan, Wilayah of Egypt,
Wilayah of Kuwait, Wilayah or Iraq…etc. Of course, the first class is the
collection of all Wilayahs: Majal (i.e. domain) of Hizb's work.
92 Mahalliyyah is the third class in the Hizb's administrative law. It's similar
to District or Locality. Each Wilayah is subdivided into many Mahalliyyahs.
Page 125 of 224
commissions start to prepare general ideas that
would enable the Shabab to address the public and
the individuals. However, a turn point took place just
after that leaflet was issued: political incidents
started to occur continuously: Johnson project,
speech of John Foster Dallas - US secretary of state
back then, regarding the resolution of Palestine
issue, Egypt’s purchase of soviet weapons,
agreements between Egypt and Syria, and between
Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Thus, the Hizb started to
issue political leaflets continuously as the incidents
kept occurring and as the conflict between the brits
and americans erupted, and jamal abdul-naser93
played the American role so soundly and delicately,
while nuri al-sae’eed94 and the hashemites95 played
the english role. Some maneuvering started to take
place by the english, as king hussein pretended to
be with abdul-naser then tried to hit him in the back,
and there was the “nationalization of Suez canal’s
company” followed by the triple attack against abdulnaser,
which all together, in general and details,
93 In Egypt
94 In Iraq
95 In Jordan
Page 126 of 224
became good material for the Hizb, allowing it to
continue issuing political leaflets and statements.
This made the leaflet of “political mobilization”
irrelevant and the necessity to implement it
vanished. Also, in addition to leaflets, the “Weekly
Commentary” was added, which continued for one
whole year, thus it became in permanent contact
with the people to deliver the ideas to them. This
lead to stronger conflict with the authorities, and a
strong conflict with the people started to take place,
which hindered the public culturing efforts hugely,
until it ceased all together. The actions continued as
leaflets, halaqas, contacts and debates strongly. As
soon as the year 1957 ended, the Hizb found itself
looking forward to starting to knock on the society’s
door. This magnificent march kept the emotions high
and the enthusiasm strong in the Shabab, and
people started to look forward to the weekly
commentary without patience, even if they disagree
with it totally, which means that it started to interact
with the Ummah. The conflict with people and other
ideas became stronger, where the opinions of the
Hizb were dominant. People who sympathize with
the Hizb and those who hate it, all together, started
Page 127 of 224
to ask on continuous basis about the Hizb’s political
opinions regarding the incidents taking place. Thus,
the Shabab started to find new things and get new
knowledge and gain new experiences, which created
magnificent political awareness at many of them,
and they started to feel the path towards becoming
in charge and ruling. People started to see the
practical and effective capability in the Hizb to take
over, and they started to think of it as potential ruling
authority. Thus, sensitivity was required in order to
strike the relationships. Thus, the Hizb took the
decision in November 1957 to conduct a general
experiment, using a very strong means in a very
ordinary leaflet, and the Hizb insisted on the means
strongly. This lead to wide-spread failure in all the
domain of Hizb’s work, and tens fell as a result of
this experiment, while hundreds showed explicit
incompetence. This meant that the body of the Hizb
cannot handle striking the relationships in a non-stop
manner; in other words: it didn’t have the current
capability to knock on the society’s door. This
happened because the transition to this period was
unnatural. The Hizb continued issuing political
statements and commentaries, and mobilization
Page 128 of 224
leaflets. It started to determine the places of work
and types of work, and implemented “shaking the
tree to get rid of useless objects” policy in a severe
way in order to cleans the Hizb of “honorary
members”, in order to create real soundness in the
body of the Hizb, so that it transits naturally into the
period of knocking the society’s door. Until the year
of 1958 came, that’s when unity between Egypt and
Syria happened, then Lebanon’s revolution, and
finally the Iraqi takeover in 14 July 1958. The
emotional wave in the region turned into
hallucination and the atmosphere was so insane.
This was like a nightmare for the Hizb, as people got
what they wanted and people stopped listening to
the Hizb, and none of the intellectuals was interested
in discussing any idea or opinion of the Hizb. This
was a very tough exam for the faith of Shabab in
their idea and methodology, thus in their Hizb. Thus,
the faith of many got shaken and very big number of
the Shabab left the Hizb; more than 75% of them.
Suspicion in the Hizb’s political opinions became
wide-spread among the Shabab who remained in the
Hizb and who believed in the Hizb and its
methodology. The campaign against the Hizb got
Page 129 of 224
into severe limits, especially after great actions were
accomplished on the hands of individuals who the
Hizb had labeled as agents, like jamal abdul-naser,
the ruler of Egypt. However, this hasn’t stopped the
Hizb for one moment, while he kept walking on its
same spot in February 1958, in other words; the
Hizb was doing actions but with no obvious effects at
all, not even on its own Shabab. However, its march
didn’t allow a relapse; it made the Hizb keeps
working, nothing more and nothing less. Because its
march in the society was similar to someone rowing
against tidal waves; he will go in a reverse direction
if he stops rowing. All the Shabab started to fear
people, and all people started to mistrust and accuse
the Hizb, and many parents were blamed by people
because their kids are in the Hizb. Despite all this,
the Hizb kept working strongly and without boredom,
as if there is nothing wrong; the Shabab kept doing
the partisan tasks in this dark era: they were beaten
and insulted and harmed, even on the hands of the
weakest and most naïve people, but they kept their
faith strong in spite of having suspicion in their
hearts towards the Hizb’s political opinions, and
towards the ways and means it implements. This
Page 130 of 224
was like jewelry to the body of the Hizb, where the
faith of believers became sound and stable,
regardless of anything. Then, the general political
atmosphere got relaxed and the insane emotional
hallucination ceased, thus it became necessary to
start knocking the society’s door, thus the Shabab
looked forward to become in charge and to rule
despite the frozen nature of society. That’s when
people started to feel the Hizb’s danger against the
rulers, especially the rulers that they liked very
much. That’s why the Hizb started to knock the
society’s door to strike the relationships deliberately,
and started to fabricate various ways and means to
hit these relationships, by statements and
mobilization leaflets and assigning contact duties,
and it kept going on with issuing political leaflets and
commentaries. The stop of external pressures and
having local agents totally busy in solidifying their
powers helped the Hizb out in doing this, which
enabled it to continue hitting the relationships, nonstop,
without ceasing its following of political affairs
through leaflets and other means. It could do the job
whenever easily because of the richness of local
incidents, which are the material of hitting the
Page 131 of 224
relationships. Thus, as soon as the year 1960
started, the Hizb found it had already concluded the
initiation of knocking on the society's door, and it
became actively knocking now. Thus, it entered the
phase of interaction naturally, which had obvious
effect as the aggressiveness of people against the
Hizb became light, thus the Hizb found supporters in
the society, and people started to cease harming
and insulting the Shabab of the Hizb in a clear
manner, thus it became a necessity for the Hizb to
try to lead the people and make them work with it,
until their work with it becomes natural. Here, the
deeds of 1958 started to repeat again, in other
words; the Hizb kept issuing various leaflets,
clashing with rulers, hitting public relationships, in
addition to the works of localities, and that was the
sum of deeds of the interaction phase.
These were the deeds of the interaction phase to
which the Hizb shifted in the year of 1960. But while
it moved to the second phase and interacted with the
Ummah successfully, it couldn't succeed in
initializing the attempt to take the leadership of the
Ummah, thus its Shabab stayed in atmosphere of
Page 132 of 224
1958, which lead to relaxation in their enthusiasm
and they were overcome by boredom and inactivity
and relaxation, and they couldn't understand the
details the Hizb is doing, although they were
witnessing the improvement in the personality of the
Hizb in a sharp manner, and feeling the change in
people's opinions towards the Hizb, and seeing the
apparent increase in rulers' pressures on the Hizb,
but all this changed too little regarding their stand in
1958. That's why, and although the Hizb became in
the same class as rulers and governments, it didn't
succeed in its attempt to take the leadership of the
Ummah. Many of them couldn't feel or touch that the
Hizb is moving forward with giant steps, as it was
apparent that the Hizb:
1- Following the incidents and giving opinions
regarding them,
2- Facing the deeds taking place in the society,
3- Aggressively watching the deeds of rulers and
hitting them harshly,
4- Motivating its Shabab to contact media organs
like magazines and newspapers to publish
articles in them,
Page 133 of 224
5- And motivating the Shabab to contact
intellectuals and elite persons to discuss
issues with them and give them intellectual
messages.
All this indicated that the Hizb is moving forward,
passing long distances with giant steps, and
achieving results. It also indicated that it passed the
stage of establishment of early halaqas to become in
the row of rulers and government in the year of
1960, after extremely exhausting efforts. This also
indicated that it adhered to the methodology that is
outlined in the Seerah96 of the Messenger
Muhammed SAW, as detailed in its books and
discussions, without any deviation in the concepts or
the outlined methodology at all. The path and
methodology of the Hizb is outlined in its book
"Partisan Massing", and when it was at the end of its
attempt to address the Ummah, it issued the leaflet
of "Entrance to Society" explaining in it how to enter
the society, and how the state is established and the
power is shifted. Also, the Hizb issued a "Q&A"
96 The seerah of anyone is the life story of him. This word is usually used
for Prophet Muhammed SAW to indicate the days of revelation of Islam.
Page 134 of 224
explaining in it where the power really is and how it
can be acquired. It's intuitive that after the interaction
phase there comes the ruling phase, thus the
transition from the phase of interaction to the phase
of ruling must be imminent and natural, exactly as
what happened when the transition from culturing
phase to launch point or attempt to address public
took place, and as what happened when transition
from addressing attempt to interaction phase took
place. That's why it reached the conclusion that
hitting the relationships in a nonstop manner must be
accompanied by attempt to take the leadership of
the Ummah. Thus, and as soon as it entered the
interaction phase, issued a generalization dated
28.10.1379 H – 23.04.1960 G where it highlighted
that the Hizb had become in the phase of interaction,
and that in this phase (it is must for the Hizb to
accompany the hitting of relationships with attempt
to take the leadership of Ummah) and warning that
(if the Hizb kept hitting the relationships and didn't try
to take the leadership of people, then it will freeze
and relapse will occur even if all its instruments and
Shabab do the job with no exemption).

Important Dates
1372 H – 1953 G: declaration of establishment of
Hizb ut-Tahrir.
1373 H – 1954 G: Issuing the (Launch Point) leaflet
and attempt to address the Ummah.
1374 H – 1955 G: Issuing the (Political Mobilization)
leaflet to all wilayahs, then leaflet of (Johnson
Project), then leaflet of (Speech of John Foster
Dallas), then the leaflet of (Soviet Weapons).
1375 H – 1956 G: Leaflet of (Weekly Commentary),
which lasted for one year.
1376 H – 1957 G: Ways to knock on society's door –
Launch Point.
1377 H – 1958 G: Attempt to enter society,
prevented by union of Egypt and Syria, revolution in
Lebanon, and coup in Iraq on 14.07.1958 G.
1379 H – 1960 G: Knocking the society's door and
transition to second phase – interaction phase, and a
generalization was issued (generalization of
28.10.1379 H – 22.04.1960 G).
1383 H – 1964 G: Pivot Point: establishment of
state.
Accordingly:
Page 136 of 224
– The first mobilization leaflet was (Leaflet of
Political Mobilization),
– The first political leaflet distributed to the
Ummah was (Exposing Johnson's Project) in
1955 G – 1374 H.
– From 1964 G on, we are still in the Pivot Point
and getting ourselves ready to reach the third
phase; ruling, insha-Allah.
It is to be noticed that all my memories are done
without referring to any documents, as I don't have
them with me, but they should be very close to
reality.
The first interest that was adopted by the Hizb was
the visit of pope of vatican to Al-Quds in the years of
1960s – I don't recall the year exactly – where the
Hizb exposed the real target of that visit, which was
making Al-Quds an international affair, and the Hizb
decided to foil this american plot by all means. One
of the deeds of this interest was the attempt of the
church to buy Hindiyyah building at the beginning of
Nablus Street, which overheads Bab Al-Amood, in
order to demolish it and construct a statue for the
Page 137 of 224
Pope there. The Hizb contacted Hindiyyah family,
which in turn refused to sell the building despite the
huge offer. Also, when the perished king of Karak97 –
hussein bin talal– conspired with crusaders to make
Al-Quds an international affair, he gave the pope a
gift, a whole mountain in the strategic area of
E'eezariyyah, one of the districts of Al-Quds, to
construct a huge church, the Hizb started to instigate
the landlords to foil the royal-papal gift, and there
was nothing to stop the plot but having a mosque in
the location. Thus, the Hizb brought good number of
workers and constructors and they started
immediately in the construction of a very small
mosque at the top of the location. In the morning,
and it was Friday, the mosque was ready, and it was
announced as a mosque, and all the Hizb’s Shabab
flooded from all cities, bringing people with them, for
the opening of the new mosque and having the first
Friday prayer in it. This foiled the evil king’s plot to
present the land to the pope. The mountain
mentioned is where the industrial Islamic school of
orphans’ house today.

Episode 14
The Killer Nightmare
It was mentioned in (The System of Islam) that:
Carrying the Dawah requires that the absolute
sovereignty is for the Islamic Principle, regardless of
the approval or disapproval of people, the
consistency or inconsistency with people's habits,
acceptance of rejection of people; the Dawah carrier
must never compromise nor get along with people
on the cost of his principle, must never care about
their habits or traditions, their acceptance or
rejection. Rather, he must always stick to principle
and state it fearlessly… the Messenger of Allah SAW
Page 139 of 224
came to the world with his message in a challenging
and outspoken manner, believing in the absolute
Haq that he calls for, challenging the whole world
with it, declaring war on all people with no
consideration of habits or traditions or religions or
creeds or rulers or public, he cared about nothing but
the message of Islam, as he was the one to be
offensive against Quraysh98 mentioning their gods
and criticizing them, and challenged them in their
beliefs and deemed them ridiculous… so the Dawah
carrier must be, outspoken and challenging of
everything: challenges the habits, traditions, sick
ideas, false concepts, even challenging the public
opinion if it's wrong, even if this opinion rejects him,
even he is forced to challenge habits and traditions
and religions, even if he is exposed to the ignorance
and fanaticism of the people who like the corruption
they live in. Carrying Dawah requires the assurance
of implementing the rulings of Islam in totality and in
complete, and not getting relaxed about anything
even if so minute. The Dawah carrier never accept
compromise or easiness or delay or selling out his
98 The big clan in Makkah that was dominant at the time of revelation, and
to which the prophet himself belonged.
Page 140 of 224
principles, rather he takes the whole affair into his
hands and resolve it in a decisive manner, fast, and
accepts no negotiations over the Haq…etc.
How similar today is to yesterday; despite the public
awareness that has been created in the Ummah due
to the activity of Dawah carrying and deliberate
deeds that were required by the stage of creation of
public opinion that comes from public awareness, in
order to create the melting & molding operation that
is effective in making the transition from the pivot
point to ruling takeover and establishment of the
Khilafah, the fardh of all fardhs, and despite the
public awareness on the thoughts of Islam and
international status, and the consciousness in
analyzing political events, which has been created
by political mobilization and exhausting and serious
efforts, yes, despite all this, it can be seen that
people may tend from time to time to emotional
thinking, instantaneous results, achievement of tiny
details, love of slogans, and making excuses out of
wishes and hopes that are dictated by certain stages
with unique events.
Page 141 of 224
This nightmare that occurs from time to time
prophesizes lack of patience, thoughts being taken
over by emotions, indicates how much people are
stuck to meaningless slogans and hopes that are
never guaranteed. This leads to the stand out of
superficial thinking and childish tendencies by some
groups in the Ummah, all together with double
loyalties. An example of this is the late elections of
the evil palestinian legislative counsel; parliament,
and what was done by a group of people who were
totally convinced that participation in such elections
in forbidden in Islam, still they voted with the excuse
that electing the good is better than having the
corrupt winning, and is less harmful. Some of them
started to look for slogans, like (Islam is the
solution), although they were convinced that those
who carry this slogan don't mean it for real. Also,
communism found sympathizers due to the call to
end the hunger of people... thus shining slogans
filled in the thirst of people to Islam.
In the shadow of this nightmare, and let's call it
(nightmare of superficiality and slogans) there arises
another nightmare of a new type, which occurs with
Page 142 of 224
Islamist-pretenders who are using Islam for their own
interests and to achieve their own personal goals
and fake standout. That's when their path to achieve
their evil goals crashes with awareness of public and
work of Dawah carriers who direct people towards
consciousness and not to be cheated by noisy
slogans, corrupt stands, and empty wishes. Thus, a
current of the nightmare of misguided fatwas
surfaces, hand to hand with well-prefabricated
aggression against the Dawah carriers and their
Hizb, thus accusing the Hizb of being kafir and
misguided, its adopted ideas are downgraded and
labeled with kufr by disgusting prefabricated fawtas
that are made up by those who have no taqwa at all,
and those with academic titles, long beards, turbans,
and clergymen clothes.
During such nightmare, the Dawah carriers cannot
be occupied with responding to those corrupt
criticizers, and we should not consider those whom
Allah has misguided their intentions as enemies and
go into debates with them in media organs and
forums, rather we should pray to Allah to guide them
and discuss issues with them with easiness as much
Page 143 of 224
as we can, thus we don't attack them, don't insult
them, never swear at them, and never treat them
with the cheap and low intellectual level they have
decided to adopt, as the wish of those people and
whoever is behind them is to get us into the swamp
of insults and slanders, which will deviate the
Shabab from their task of Dawah carrying to a lower
level, and the Shabab are not allowed by any means
to descend to such level, or be deviated by people
from being fully occupied with their principle in order
to conduct intellectual boxing matches in stinky and
disgusting intellectual swamps, which if anyone
enters he will need to be cleansed. It's dangerous
too to try to defend the Hizb and its ideas, or accept
to have the Hizb in the defensive position of
accused.
But we must pay attention that in light of this
nightmare some misguided fatwas will stand out, and
some corrupt ideas may be labeled as Islamic while
Islam has nothing to do with them. There may be
manipulation of divine texts and in a deliberate
manner to make a point or defeat the other side, to
achieve a personal goal or get certain interest. In
Page 144 of 224
front of such corrupt interpretation of divine texts, it's
the duty of Dawah carriers to explain to the people
the corrupt reality of those ideas, and show everyone
the low level of fatwas of evil scholars, with
evidences and disciplined discussions, without
getting into insults, slanders, personal attacks, or
attacks against movements that did this corruption
by name. Discussions and debates should never
indicate any defensiveness at all. Extreme attention
must be paid not to place the Dawah in a defensive
position of someone accused with a crime.
Regarding this detail, ignorance and misjudgments
must be avoided. For example, some people started
to say (someone who sits cannot give fatwa to
someone who fights) implying that the Shabab are
sitters. Also, statements about fighting the
aggressive enemy, again implying that the Shabab
are non-fighters99. This was a reaction to the
99 It is an irony to see some Muslims accusing the Shabab of Hizb of
being sitters, while the west and its organs are accusing the Hizb of being
conveyor belt of terrorism. It is a clear indication that when you are on the
correct and righteous path, no one will be happy with you and bankrupt
minds will start to make all kinds of baseless accusations, no matter what.
This solidify what the Hizb has stated, regarding not caring about what
others want, like, desire, wish, or accustomed to. Rather, the Shabab's
whole attention should be concentrated on the Dawah itself and carrying
its ideas and concepts. Bankrupt minds cannot understand that a carrier
of such Dawah cannot be a carrier of anything else, whether corrupt
Page 145 of 224
campaign of Shabab to alert people that participation
in elections is haram. In such situation, the meaning
of (sitting) must be explained to people, where it
means those who don't get engaged in the work to
establish the Khilafah State; the fardh of fardhs.
Also, it must be explain what it means to have a
sitter giving fatwa to a fighter, what are the various
types of jihad, what is the ruling of fighting an
aggressive enemy, what is the reality of occupation
in Palestine, and does the definition of aggressive
enemy applies or not. It's naïve to think of this as
defensive acts; we never defend, it's declaration of
Haq in an outspoken and challenging manner, and
it's required in Islam; not doing it is forbidden
manipulation of Allah's rulings. The Dawah carriers
must say the Haq in such situations, fearing no one
but Allah.
To be self defeated, which is intolerable for Dawah
carriers, is to get along with those giving misguided
fatwas, whether in talk or act, thinking that this is
better not to cause turbulence. Such behavior would
fatwas or violent ideologies. But the Shabab do understand that, and that
what matters.
Page 146 of 224
cause the Shabab to deviate from stating the Haq in
explicit manner to start to compromise. This means
that we have taken our Dawah to the darkness of
nightmares, with fear excuses, turning to the status
of silent Satans, which is intolerable for the Shabab
by any means.

Episode 15
A Stop with Sheikh Yusuf Baa'darany100
In the year 1964 the Hizb nominated Sheikh Yusuf
Baa’darany, Abu Rabee', for Beirut district, in the
Lebanese parliamentary elections. But he didn't win,
as we mentioned in episode 10. Our Sheikh has
recently authored many books, like "Hijacking the
World, an American Plan", "The Europeans' Hatred
of Islam, a Conspiracy in its Second Millennium",
"Christianity, a Roman Conspiracy against
Humanity"… and many others101. From his home in
Beirut, Sheikh Yusuf has been following our
100 I have been informed that Sheikh Yusuf Baa’darany intends to launch
a 1st class web-based thinktank in the near future. I sincerely hope his
effort succeeds where others have failed.
101 See episode 10.
Page 148 of 224
episodes of "The Beloveds by Allah", and he has
been generous to send me the following letter that
makes us feel proud, as it's a letter from one of the
giant beloveds by Allah who carried the Dawah for
year without boredom with the establisher Sheikhs,
may Allah rest them, and still it. This Sheikh, who
has kept his promise to Allah, is still waiting for
Allah's promise and near establishment of Khilafah
State, insha-Allah, under the Emirship of our Sheikh
and Emir Ata bin Khaleel, may Allah protect and
safeguard him. His letter was as follows:
Dear Brother Awadallah,
Assalamo Alaikom Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh,
I am glad to read this documentation of history that is
necessary for us and the coming generations. I
thank Allah that He is using someone up to this
mission to fulfill it. May Allah reward you the best on
behalf of this Ummah. Regarding your praises, I ask
Allah to write that as good deed foe me with your
prayers, still I feel ashamed to keep silent towards it
during my life span, as I am so scared that if I keep
Page 149 of 224
silent that it would be counted as a bas deed for me,
as if I wished for fame or praise. Whenever a man
starts to shot me with his praise arrows, I keep my
distance from him until he stops, so that they are not
counted in my bad deeds' balance, insha-Allah, and I
ask Allah to accept his prayers' praises if I am up to
His mercy, or try to distract him. I cannot allow
myself to claim knowledge while I know who I am,
totally with no power and strength, except what Allah
has provided mw with. And I bear witness to Allah
that I still consider myself the most ignorant among
people, and because I am fully aware of my
ignorance in this regard, I tend to escape from
anyone who I learn to be more ignorant than myself,
not to become more ignorant. However, you insist on
foiling my plan of trying to keep my good deeds for
the Day of Judgment by keeping to praising me in a
manner that I cannot keep silent against. Do you
want to keep those good deeds away from me in the
Day of Judgment? As whoever wants to get famous
with his knowledge/deeds, then he gets the reward
of that in this life. Do you see me one of those, O my
dear brother? You know that the self gets happy and
arrogant when praised, and that the mind gets
Page 150 of 224
relaxed with it, thus please pray for me that I never
get into the trap of self-acceptance.
Being scared of claims and their bad consequences
in this life and the hereafter makes me breathless at
many situations that you may expect to be ruled by
the foundations on understanding and not by
understanding alone, which is the ability that Allah
gave to all people. Allah has blessed the believers
with the foundations of understanding all through
ages, but He only blessed us to get to know how to
discipline those foundations, as part of what Allah
has blessed us with through that Faqeeh Genuine
Genius that words and titles get small when we want
to list his characteristics, thus I suffice with pointing
at him as he used to like me to call him "Abu
Ebraheem", Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany, may Allah
have mercy on him, a mercy that would cover all his
students and march companions, to recall them and
live by them. Without adhering to those foundations,
do you think I would have known any of what I know
in this age? Thus, your praise is misplaced, as the
one who deserves that is that man who Allah had
blessed to determine the culture of progress for
Page 151 of 224
Muslims and determine the foundations to
understand all things that relate to the march
towards progress, parts of which are political
intellect, methodology to know the facts of history,
truth balance in the intellect of life, knowledge to
differentiate or link the intellect of war and intellect or
commerce, how to adhere to research facts,
precision in reference linkage, be alerted to the type
of news in its subject, and similar things that the
would have been impossible for the Ummah to reach
with collective or individual efforts, regardless of the
degree of sincerity and knowledge of a person, as it
cannot be complete as the Messenger SAW has left
to us, unless Allah SWT uses for this mission one
man that He gifts with the knowledge to re-determine
the culture of Islam and re-weld the link between
Islam and its methodology. This knowledge is the
mother of any knowledge that any genius or
intellectual among us would use to progress and lift
this Ummah from its current status.
Since you are the history man among us, and hoping
to have steady communication with you, I will reveal
a little secret to you about my early days, to see how
Page 152 of 224
easy it was for me to be lead by Islam, and to see
that it was a mere bless of Allah. I was 14 years old
when I started to know political parties in high
school, and within 1.5 years I entered and exited all
important parties at that time lie communist party,
syrian nationalist party, arab nationalists' movement,
and real all the written intellectual literature they had.
I loved to read very mush at that time, especially the
Islamic and European histories, through its famous
novels, until a man invited me to a talk about the
history of Muslims. I tried to excuse myself, but he
kept assuring me that the man isn't naïve and that, O
Yusuf, you'll be happy with his talk, because I know
how much you like history, and I cannot go without
you, as I will only listen. This young man was one of
my best friends in schools, and it was difficult for
someone like him to be close to any one. Thus, Allah
got me to accept to go, without even knowing the
guy's name.
We reached the building where the meeting will take
place, and it was in a street I am used to go to
because my relatives and sister are there, and it's
today in front of the house of Hariry in Beirut. He
Page 153 of 224
started talking and I listened for over one hour with
no discussion at all, because I didn't want to go deep
into what he said, as I had already got bored with
speeches and deem them chatter and I reached the
conclusion that there is no necessity to discuss
anything to find the truth. There is no talkative bigger
that the ignorant or someone calling to falsehood.
That's why I couldn't stay in any of the parties that hit
the mind of Muslims in the back. We used to know
the value of proof, but not the proof or evidence that
I was missing in all the parties' books I read and
refused, rather my huge refusal was to the topic
being represented by the corrupt communist,
socialist or nationalist thoughts. Myself hated their
intellectual arguments, not their evidence but the
topic of their evidence, and I used to see their
sayings after months or meeting with them, reading
their books and listening to their explanations, I used
to see their sayings as intellectual dirt, and their
evidence as if they sink into realistic dirt. I couldn't
find a dimension in a party's culture without, at the
end, necessitating from you to die after exiting Islam.
That point was the disagreement point in my
discussion with them, and there were a lot of
Page 154 of 224
attempts to convince me that I can be syrian social
nationalist and remain a Muslim! Or be socialist and
Muslim! Or be arab nationalist and Muslim!
In the first session I wanted to explore the final
dimension of the intellectual argument. The brother
talked about the heroics of Muslims and about the
way to belief. I asked him about those heroics and
what use is there in talking about them and we are
not of them, we want our own heroics not the heroics
of others, and I don't consider recalling them useful
to us. We want to know their path to heroism, not
their stories. After the talk about way to belief, I said
that I pray, thanks Allah, but I don't see that prayer
changes anything in the status of loss the Ummah is
witnessing. The brother replied: first things first, do
you see any cheating in my saying? I answered: Not
at all, it's the best I hear in my life, but not the thing
to save. He said: correct, but the talk didn't finish,
and if we take the issue as serious as we should, it's
a talk that would last for the entire life because it's
the way of life for a believer, that's why I hope to
meet again next week. His request to meet again
made me pause, as it indicated the seriousness of
Page 155 of 224
these arguments, and I accepted it immediately.
During the first session, we were four as I recall, and
I was alone in the second session. At the end of
session I realized that the topic in which evidence is
brought and the case upon which proof is set is the
topic of life, which is the case of human; the topic
and case that I had been looking for for 2 years. I
adhered to the topic and case as our teachers, who
are big in mind and self, taught us to adhere, as if we
are inserting our teeth in the. I got disconnected with
the person, who had supervised my initial culturing
for long years, and I met him about 20 years ago,
and there he was: an atheist, may Allah guard us. I
never cared about his news since then! The second
man who had supervised my culturing left the Dawah
to live naively for years before he died! My
continuous supplication for myself and to my
brothers in good deed: O Allah, guide us to obey
you, and help us to adhere to your obedience, allow
us to live in it, and take our souls while living in it,
and resurrect us on it, O Allah.
My eyes get full with tears when I recall the tens who
have left us while we are incapable of finishing the
Page 156 of 224
job, alone. I envy those who passed us, passing
away on the belief, and there are many all thanks to
Allah, and we may mention their attributes one day if
the occasion arises.
All thanks to Allah that he enables us to talk and
consult regarding His guidance and the work to
establish His rules in accordance with His pleasure. I
don't forget to beg and pray to Allah that he makes in
the strength of believers the sufficient power to get
victory to His religion over His enemies, and that He
makes us victorious from where we manage our
affairs and from where He manages the affairs of
this world.
Your brother,
Yusuf
May Allah be our witness, our dear Sheikh, that we
never meant to decrease your good deeds with your
place in our hearts, as reward decreases if praise is
Page 157 of 224
sought, while we are only recalling the march of
goodness and righteousness, and cry like you those
great Sheikhs who left us without reaching out
destination yet, and we praise what you said: My
eyes get full with tears when I recall the tens who
have left us while we are incapable of finishing the
job, alone. I envy those who preceded us, passing
away on the sound belief, and there were many, all
thanks to Allah, and we may mention their attributes
one day if the occasion arises. May Allah reward
you, our Sheikh Yusuf, and we wish you the health
and rewards and good life, and that you and we see
the scene of establishment of Islamic Khilafah State,
and insha-Allah you will get the heaven of paradise
from Allah, and all our His-beloved Dawah carriers.

Episode 16
Agents and Tumble Stones
When the two agents "suleyman al-nabulsy & abdulhaleem
al-nimr" established the arab socialist party,
that part published the newspaper of "al-meethaq",
which attached Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany and
accused him of getting $50,000-check from the
american embassy in Beirut. After that, the weekly
newspaper "al-sareeh"102 owned by reckless agent
"hashem al-sabii'"; one of the famous cheap
servants of agent suleyman al-nabulsy, started to be
published. The most famous writer and interview
102 A weekly newspaper, used to be published on Saturdays in the 1950's
and used to implement the cheap rude way of slanders and insults to
attract publicity and fame among its low-level readers.
Page 159 of 224
maker in that newspaper was the israeli jew "sarah
emram", using the Russian Christian nickname
"catrina alexandropha"103 and she had very intimate
and suspicious friendships with finance minister
suleyman al-nabulsy, minister of internal affairs falah
al-madad'hah, general globe pasha, big number of
jordan's famous ministers and army officers.
Directed by its owner and sponsor, agent suleyman
al-nabulsy, and by secretive coordination its main
writer, sarah emram, that newspaper started to
attack the Sheikh and publish lie and rumors about
him, like getting a Cadillac gift from the americans,
the above-mentioned check, beautiful secretary and
other stupid rubbish that was believed by naïve and
ridiculous laymen and evil people, repeating this
rubbish to label the Hizb with agency to americans,
which found acceptance by other parties and
movements that wanted to exploit the opportunity to
downgrade the Hizb, and alike them intelligence
agents and authority servants raced to publish those
rumors and lies about the Hizb. As an example,
there was dinner invitation at a leading person's
103 Sarah emram, an israeli female in the Hashemite kingdom of jordan,
first edition, 1979, Al-Nahdha Publishing House, Al-Nasrah.
Page 160 of 224
house, and among the invited people there was the
region commander nizar al-mefleh and intelligence
chief moneer noor. During the meal, some
individuals talked about what al-sareeh newspaper
published regarding Sheikh An-Nabhany getting
$50,000-check from the american ambassador. The
region commander directed his words to Mr. Naser
Al-Sharabaty104, asking to make fun of him: how
much was your share? Newspaper at those days
were publishing that jordan was getting its first
financial aids from the american, in the amount of
$20,000. Thus, Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty replied:
as a jordanian ruled by king hussein, I got today
$20,000. The man couldn't reply and stopped eating.
One of the weird things was having the following of
Ekhwan to get along with these lies, that one of them
wrote down a couple of poems attacking the Hizb
and the Sheikh, depending on the lies of al-sareeh
newspaper and believing in them, even supporting
them with his impolite and totally rude poems, which
nothing can be sillier and more ridiculous than them
other than the poet himself. After I put some
104 Mentioned in episode 11.
Page 161 of 224
quotations from those poems here, I felt ashamed
and recalled my beloved Sheikh and Emir, I even felt
ashamed of Allah SWT, of whom the poet hadn't felt
ashamed at all, thus I deleted them, throwing them
back into where they belong; trash can. May Allah
not blame us for the deeds of naïve individuals living
among us… surely they are not of us, even if they
had long beards and short dish'dashah105, claiming
their movement to be Islamic… it's even possible for
those people full with hatred to come close to that
Giant Sheikh, Re-newer of Islamic Thought in the
20th century, Companion of Prophets and
Messengers and Companions and Shaheeds in
Paradise insha-Allah… This is not strange for those
people who have devoted themselves to serve Satan
and attacking the Hizb and serve their masters and
be agents of the infidels, and the proofs of this are
too many to count. Like when the Hizb issued the
book "Hot Call to Muslims" in 1962, they found in the
book what they were looking for to attack the Hizb
and classify it as a kafir hizb, because it was
mentioned in the book that it's allowed that Muslims
105 Traditional male cloth in the Arabian Peninsula.
Page 162 of 224
pay money to infidels in certain circumstances to
dodge their danger… after that there was the book
"islamic dawah" for who claims to be sadeq
ameen106 and Allah is the witness that he is not so…
and another book for fathy yaken and another for
yusuf al-athem… and many other books. Those
books that revealed the real hatred in their hearts, in
addition to unparallel ridiculousness and
superficiality, lies and deliberate twisting of facts
when quoting from references… something that
won't be done by someone with juts a little bit of
taqwa and fear of Allah… they still the same,
unchanged at all. When Sheikh Wajeeh Al-Khateeb,
as the person who delivers the Friday speech in Al-
Ebraheemy mosque, tried to start the speech
immediately after the azan107 unlike what the ministry
mosques implement, one of famous ekhwan leaders
in Al-Khaleel; sheikh mohammed rashad abdulsalam
al-shareef, abu rifa'at, stood up after the
prayer to deliver a hot speech attacking this act,
considering contradictory to the tradition in mosques
106 This was the nickname used by the author, where sadeq means "truth
teller" and ameen means "never traitor".
107 Call for prayer.
Page 163 of 224
for decades, labeling is as non-islamic, exploiting the
opportunity to attack the Hizb that, according to him,
forbids Jihad and Friday prayer and Zakat unless its
state is established, never hesitating to insult and
slander the Hizb, its Shabab and its leaders. When I
recall this, I don't do it to slander our brothers in
religion or raise hatred in their hearts, Allah forbids,
rather to call out young Shabab who haven't
witnessed such incidents to be extremely patient and
have high tolerance and edge-cutting ethics when
debating with them, never go after them when they
hear curses and insults as usual, and never to get
into discussion with them in such situations; be
alerted not to be dragged into their forums that
turned into stinky swamps of curses and insults, and
never allow the Hizb to be as if it's in a defensive
position, as we got used to their way of discussion
since the Hizb was established. I urge our young
Shabab to look at them as their brothers in religion
who have lost the path and got ruptured by their
deep hatred, so be good to them, advise them with
descent words, never allow Satan to overcome your
feelings towards your brothers in religion, never feel
hatred towards them, never challenge them as this
Page 164 of 224
attitude will help the Satan to overwhelm them,
despite all what you see from them… advise them,
help them and pray to Allah to guide them to the
correct path. And remember my dear brothers that
you are the selected elite in this Ummah, the
beautiful mole that no eye can miss, the lights to
others, whom tongues speak day and night of the
proofs of Qura'an, the students of His Eminence
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany, his companion and
brother His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum, and the brothers of the voice of absolute
righteousness and Haq under the dome of
parliament, His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or,
the carriers of the flag of change, under the current
Emirship of Sheikh Ata bin Khaleel Abu Al-Rashta,
the rivals and enemies of Satan and its allies in
Earth, with whom Allah insha-Allah will fix the lands
and shield the slaves, among them those who
resembled the companions and friends of Esa bin
Mariam, may Allah be pleased with both, who were
cut into pieces alive, some of them has passed away
already, some are still waiting, changing nothing
about the Haq they have adopted for decades. You
are the hope of this Ummah, its leaders towards
Page 165 of 224
goodness and victory insha-Allah. You ought, O
brothers, to understand it is your duty to guide
people to goodness, not challenge them, fight with
them, or hate them. Rather, drive them to the Haq
and righteousness, and recall the duty on your
shoulders of advice and sincerity as you are the flag
carriers, no one else, and this dictates duties that
Allah will hold you accountable for, thus do your best
that no one will have an argument against you in
front of Allah in the day of judgment… You are the
Muslims with heaviest burden, so don't let this
Ummah down.

Ordeals and Shakes
The Dawah was stormed by three severe ordeals
that affected it marsh negatively, and they almost
destroyed the Hizb, but the care of Allah has been
the protective shield of this Dawah. Those ordeals
are: Leadership, Withdrawal of Asa’ad, and abdulnaser.
They were mentioned before, and this is brief
repetition of the third one. The ordeal of abdul-naser
was the most dangerous one, which inflected huge
losses and harms on the Hizb, it also stopped the
march of the Hizb for several years.
108 Relevant information was provided in many other episodes too.
Page 167 of 224
It was mentioned in the book of "Partisan Massing"
regarding the principal danger: (….and in this case,
the Hizb will be in-between two fires: the first is to be
exposed to the anger of Ummah, thus destructing
what it has built. And the other is to deviate from the
principle or compromise, and both things are so
dangerous on it…) and the result of this balance was
"ordeal of abdul-naser" that almost destroyed the
Hizb. The Hizb had suffered from this ordeal too
much, where the Hizb stopped to get any new
supporters for years, and not only that but also the
Hizb lost more than 75% of its members, who
wanted the Hizb to get along with the public opinion
that is in favor of abdul-naser, and not criticize him,
as abdul-naser reached the stage of being called
"worshipped by people" because he declared enmity
against americans with his hackneyed speeches and
publicity-targeted actions, like nationalization of Suez
canal, construction of High Dam, and his announced
enmity towards the rulers of jordan and saudi
arabia…. The Hizb was determined to follow the
correct path, which is sticking to the principle, even if
it loses the Ummah temporarily, thus it exposed the
treasons and agency of abdul-naser to the infidel
Page 168 of 224
american colonialist, releasing a booklet that
exposed the secrets of the weapons deal that was
held with the soviet union. This made everyone hate
the Hizb and its Shabab, reaching the levels of
insults, curses, slanders, physical abuses, as some
Shabab were beaten and got their organs broken,
they were fired at with guns and attacked in all
media organs, lectures, speeches, symposiums,
public and private meetings. During some of
"Baghdad Alliance" demonstrations, sometimes lead
by "waleed hamadah shaheen", he and his friends
used to stop their slogans against Baghdad alliance
when they approach a store of one of the Shabab,
and switch their slogans to anti-Hizb, calling for its
destruction. Days before the stupid play of
submission of West Bank by king hussein in the year
1967, ridiculous individuals who had fallen in love
with abdul-naser were threatening the Shabab of
Hizb with killing and dragging in the streets and
cutting their organs as soon as abdul-naser gets out
of his conflict with the jews victorious.
The ordeal of abdul-naser was very severe; it almost
broke the Hizb down, but Allah was the only One to
Page 169 of 224
protect this Dawah, as abdul-naser got the sympathy
and love of everyone, including very significant
number of Hizb's members, with his speeches and
actions, while the Hizb was the only one to warn and
alert the Muslims, declaring that abdul-naser is an
american agent.
This ordeal lasted for several years, during which the
Hizb couldn’t progress for one inch. On the contrary,
it went in reverse direction and witnessed severe
setback.
This is the ordeal of abdul-naser in brief, and
episode 5 has other details too, and explanation of
the reasoning of the Hizb's stand, that contradicted
the whole Ummah back then.

Episode 19
Tree-Shaking & No Way to Compare
As mentioned in episode 13, November 1957
witnessed a general experiment by the Hizb, where it
had an ordinary leaflet, with very strict orders to be
followed regarding the way of execution. As a matter
of fact, the Shabab at this stage had been
accustomed to the deeds of concentrated culturing
and public culturing only, and it was natural that the
Hizb will try to reach the Launch Point, as it is
knocking on the society's door to enter, which if it
reaches in a correct manner then it will transits to the
second phase of interaction with the Ummah to
Page 172 of 224
make it carry its ideas and concepts. To do that, it
was essential to adopt the interests of Ummah,
expose the colonialism's plots, and strike the existing
relationships between peoples and governments,
which this ordinary leaflet was composed of.
However, the style used in the leaflet was so strong
and aggressive, which the Shabab had not
witnessed before, which excited fear in them
regarding their personal interests, thus they did
balance in their heads between the Dawah and their
interests, where they deemed their interests as
equivalent to the Dawah, which caused the failure of
the useless objects among them, with such light
push; no strong tree-shaking yet. This resulted in a
general failure in the whole domain of work for the
Hizb; tens failed completely, hundreds showed
explicit incompetence, which meant that the body of
the Hizb cannot handle striking the relationships in a
non-stop manner; which means the current inability
to knock the door of society, because that transition
movement wasn't natural. Then came the strong and
severe tree-shaking operations, leaflets, political
commentaries, mobilization leaflets, designation of
work regions, getting rid of honorary members…
Page 173 of 224
until 1958 came and there was the union between
Egypt and Syria, thus people got mad and fell in total
love with abdul-naser, then revolution in Lebanon,
then coup in Iraq…. Emotions were so high, people
were insane... tree-shaking operations' cost to the
Hizb was tremendous, but very necessary to solidify
the body of the Hizb, so it faces no problems in the
future when it gets in serious conflicts with rulers; to
get the Shabab to never hesitate and never deem
their interests as equivalent to the Dawah, as
sacrifices need special type of persons; those who
never care about their earthly benefits and interests,
rather persons who totally sold themselves to Allah,
with no compromises at all, and no considerations of
anything but the pleasure of Allah. Whoever doesn't
fit this profile, dropped out and there was no way for
them to hide their realities; the tree was shaken so
strong in abnormal circumstances.
Here we pull the attention to the issue of self versus
mind. Problems usually comes from the self110; since
personality is composed of self and mind, and
110 Disposition or psychology.
Page 174 of 224
regardless of how deep the mind can understand or
be convinced with ideas and concepts, the self must
vibrate in harmony and oscillate in consistency with
the mind, to get proper personality. If the self doesn't
respond to the type of thoughts adopted by mind
positively, that personality got shaken and drops as
a useless object. The contradiction between
personal interests and Dawah is so strong, and can
only be dealt with by giant personalities, and
examples of famous individuals who had fallen down
show this realty in an astonishing manner.
The Hizb, during the ordeal of abdul-naser, was like
a small ship captain in a very stormy weather and a
very wavy ocean, paddling against everything, and
this wasn't acceptable at all by people who were
overwhelmed by their emotions and thirst to dignity,
which they thought they were getting with an agent
like abdul-naser.
Some naïve persons have been comparing between
the status of the Hizb in that ordeal and the status of
others during the recent elections of evil palestinian
parliament elections in 2006, where the Hizb
Page 175 of 224
succeeded greatly in its campaign to state that it's
haram to participate in it. For example, in the biggest
city of West Bank, Al-Khaleel, those who have the
right to vote are 435,000, and only 186,000
registered themselves to vote, which is %42.75, and
only 103,000 did vote later on, which is %55.37 of
registered persons and %23.67 of the entire number.
Counting the invalid votes got the percentage of
voters down from %23.67 to %16 only. This means
clearly that the people did respond to Islam and did
obey the Sharii ruling: it's haram to participate in
these elections, despite the aggressive efforts by
interest-seekers. The sincere activities of Hizb ut-
Tahrir are clear from those statistics, as the people
clearly stood by the Hizb against those elections
since the stage of voter registry, despite the
campaigns to falsify the numbers by media organs,
and despite the evil fatwas and huge sums of money
spent on those election campaigns. Also, many of
those who voted made it clear that they believe
participation in such elections in forbidden in Islam,
but they are participating to gain instantaneous
benefits.
Page 176 of 224
The reality is that who ever doesn't follow the
methodology of Islam in working gets lost, as it's only
the principal Hizb that has massed itself on intellect
would have self reference in such intellect and such
methodology, and it gets account for it. Other
association-type movements that were established
to reform something has no adopted intellect to be
accounted for accordingly, rather some massing on
slogans and individuals that are looked at as if they
were holy, and they manage the movement as they
desire. When you discuss something with an
intellectual, he debates his intellect with you,
approving or disapproving your intellect, using
evidence in this. Non-intellectuals cannot handle
this, as he has no intellect, no thoughts, no
evidences…nothing. Thus, for him, methodology is
not an adopted intellect, rather it's self desire and
instructions coming from leaders, which can change
any time in accordance with interests and benefits,
thus they have no intellectual foundations and no
constant concepts, rather they change themselves
everyday; what is totally unacceptable by them
yesterday may very well become very acceptable
today, and what they adopt at one location may be
Page 177 of 224
totally rejected by them somewhere else. Thus, their
foundation is their desires and leadership's
fluctuations, such that they reached the stage of
deem their leaders as holy figures. If you attempt to
discuss an idea with them, they get totally lost, and
they reply with insults, slanders, lying, rumors,
calling you a kafir, as they have no other reply. Thus,
their forums became stinky swamps, where all they
do is slandering the sincere Dawah carriers in the
absence of any evidence they have. Thus, when you
debate something with someone like this, you simply
become an aid of Satan on him and squeezed your
brother into the corner of treason, while we are
carriers of goodness and righteousness to all people,
and we cannot by any means embarrass people and
drive them into an out-of-control status where they
keep insisting on the evil, getting them into the stage
of deserving Allah's anger. I recall when some of the
Shabab discussed the a certain concept with them in
one of their forums, proving them wrong, they drew a
shoe over the name of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which
indicates that debating anything with them is just
aiding Satan on them, thus we shouldn't do that and
supplement to Allah to guide them. Some Shabab
Page 178 of 224
may think defending the Hizb against those liars is a
righteous act, like exposing corrupt agent rulers, as
those claim to be working for Islam, while they are
acting like an axe to destroy it, willingly or unwillingly.
Well, this is a very dangerous idea, because those
people have infinite storage of lies, and replying to
them will take all day and night, getting the Dawah
carrier into the status of becoming no more Dawah
carrier, rather responder to lies, and must never
happen, thus the Shabab must be alerted.

Episode 22
Demonstrations
When we mention about demonstrations, it's
necessary to recall the jewish occupation and
destruction of the village of (Al-Somoo') in the area
of Al-Khaleel in 13.11.1966 G, as a first step of the
complete delivery of the king of Karak; hussein bin
talal, of West bank to the jews. When this happened
to Al-Somoo', huge demonstrations erupted in the
streets of Al-Khaleel, condemning the treason of
jordan's rulers. As result, the governor of Al-Khaleel
back then, yusuf al-mobiedeen (member of
parliament later on), called the leaders and traders of
the city, all together with the head of municipality,
mohammed ali al-Jaa'bary, for a meeting. There, he
Page 185 of 224
threatened the attendants to crush the
demonstrations if they don't cease at once. There,
one of the Shabab, the representative of the city's
traders, Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty113 replied to him,
explaining that the demonstrations came as a result
of the disclosure of the reality to all people that the
state is not protecting them against the enemies, and
that the jews occupied and destroyed the village with
no resistance at all, and the discussion should be
over the origin of the problem, which is the absence
of the state's protection against enemies. There, the
governor replied: do I understand from this that you
support the demonstrations? There Sheikh Naser
looked at the other attendants, saying: since the
governor understood this from what I said, this
means he doesn't know Arabic, so would anyone of
you translate what I have just said from Arabic to the
language the governor understands? That's when
the head of municipality, al-jaa'bary, interfered to
defuse the tension, saying: rest assured my brother,
Abu Hatem114, and all the population of the city that I
114 Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty.
Page 186 of 224
called our master115 by phone and he promised me
to send protection. There, Sheikh Naser replied to aljaa'bary
saying: and how can I be sure, O abu
waheed, that when the protection arrives from your
master, the situation won't be like the saying "when
the medicine comes from Iraq, the sick would be
already dead"116. That's when the governor erupted
like a mad bull, and announced curfew in the city, to
be implemented very strictly, and all violators would
be punished. Thus, yusuf al-mobeideen was the first
to commit the crime of cancellation of Friday prayer,
as the curfew was announced few hours before the
prayer, forbidding Muslims from performing a prayer
Allah has obligated them to perform; Chapter Friday,
Verse 9 in the Qura'an. May Allah punish the unjust
and tyrants and all the mercenaries who help them.
The Hizb had warned everyone about that few
months in advance, in a leaflet "Political
Commentary" distributed to the people in 24.03.1386
H - 13.07.1966 G, where it exposed the agreement
between king hussein and the jews to deliver West
115 He meant, of course, his master, the perished king; hussein bin talal.
116 The saying indicates the delay of any action; the protection of hussein
bin talal will arrive after the jews are finished with what they intend to do.
Page 187 of 224
Bank to them. The occupation of Al-Somoo' was
done with one full brigade, as a first step to occupy
the whole West Bank, but the americans interfered
and pressured the jews to retreat and stop their
occupation of West Bank, which was carried out later
on, in June 1976.

Episode 23
The Leaflet of Delivery of West Bank
Regarding the leaflet of 13.07.1966, after it was
distributed, The Hizb sent a delegation to meet the
jordanian prime minister back then, wasfy al-tal, and
here are the memories of one of our Sheikhs who
was delegate: (The Hizb asked us to meet jordanian
prime minister "wasfy al-tal" regarding the warning of
the jordanian government of the severe
consequences of the delivery of west bank, and we
gathered in 60-person delegation, composed of
members and supporters of the Hizb, among them
were Ali Ahmed Hassonah, Mr. Ahmed Al-Faqeer –
Abu A'asem, Mr. Abdul-Hafeeth Al-Shaa'rawy,
Hashem Yunus, Hashem Nammorah, and of the
Page 189 of 224
supporters there was Sheikh Al-Azeezy and others,
and the head of the delegation was Ali Ahmed
Hassonah. This took place 11 months before the
delivery of West Bank. We gathered at the
designated time in front of prime ministry, and it was
Tuesday, which is the day designated by wasfy al-tal
to meet delegations and persons in need. When we
entered his hall, the head of the delegation said to
him: we are a delegation from Hizb ut-Tahrir, and we
would like to talk to you. There, wasfy al-tal stood up,
left the hall and everyone in it, and asked the head of
delegation that he and his delegation follow him, to
his personal office. His office got completely full, and
some of us sat in a nearby room. I was in the main
office, thus I witnessed the whole meeting. There,
wasfy al-tal said: here we are in my office, go ahead,
what do you want? Hassonah said: Hizb ut-Tahrir
has been following up the incidents going on in the
region; visits, statements, actions, and it made him
realize that a conspiracy to fabricate a war by jordan
is undergoing, to deliver West Bank to the jews.
Prime minister, wasfy al-tal was shocked, denying
such thing, describing it as mere speculations. But
Hassonah was a stubborn debater, and I say that the
Page 190 of 224
Hizb had made excellent decision to select him as
the head of delegation, as he started to discuss with
wasfy al-tal what was mentioned in the leaflet of
13.07.1966, and he was replying to every point
raised by wasfy al-tal with evidence and proof117,
where wasfy al-tal was replying to him (no way man,
is this possible while we have al-thafer and alqaher118?)
making fun of abdul-naser's missiles.
That's when Hassonah replied: (leave that away, as
this matter has nothing to do with what we are here
to talk about, which is: The Hizb is warning you to
carry out this betrayal against the Ummah, and it will
inform the people with it, and you will be held
responsible of the consequences of this matter).
When the seriousness of the Hizb to expose the
conspiracy became apparent to wasfy al-tal, he
promised the Hizb and all the people that if this were
true, then it would never happen in his era. The visit
117 This is a lesson to our Shabab; political understanding is not
speculations or theoretical speeches; it must be founded on actions
happening on ground, always. This makes such understanding unique; no
probabilities in it, because it's mere understanding of what's happening in
real world, so how could it bear (maybe) or (perhaps) terms! When
someone makes a political analysis saying (maybe) or (perhaps), then it is
mere speculation and cannot be deemed an understanding of what's
going on in reality.
118 Names of missiles that jamal abdul-naser, may Allah have no mercy on
him, claimed to manufacture; misguiding people and making them live in
an illusion of military power.
Page 191 of 224
concluded peacefully, but many Shabab were
arrested after the distribution of the leaflet).
The head of delegation (Ali Ahmed Hassonah) was,
may Allah rest him and have mercy on him, one of
the pioneers in the Hizb, who kept his word and
promise until the day he passed away in 27.12.2002.
He was imprisoned in 1957 and 1961, and as one of
relatives say: (He joined the Hizb 2 years before his
marriage, which means 1954 or 1955, and his first
supervisor was Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat, and
some of his companions in the Hizb: Ghanem
Abdouh, Mohammed Shoa'yb, Fayez Ghoshah,
Tahseen Al-Khayyat, and many of them were
frequent visitors to his store, in the street of
Khayyam, in city center, where he was tailor.
Because I was his relative, I used to attend their
meetings since 1963 and listen to their intellectual,
political and fiqhi discussions, as his store was more
like a forum to the Hizb's Shabab until 1989, where
he closed the store due to his sickness. But those
meetings kept going afterwards in his house, where
they were attended by Sheikh Ez-eddin Al-Khateeb
Al-Tamimy, Sheikh Asa’ad Bayyoudh Al-Tamimy,
Page 192 of 224
His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, after getting
out of jail in mid 1970's, Mr. Yusuf Al-Sabateen, Mr.
Ali Al-Samady – Abu Marwan, Sheikh Sabry Al-
A'arory, Mohammed Mosa – Abu Emad, Big Sheikh
Abu Eyas, Waleed Shaheen – Abu Hamaadah, our
brother Ahmed Baker, may Allah release him from
the hands of tyrants, Mr. Mostafa Al-Shae'r, and
many others. He was with Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-
Khayyat during one of his prison terms).
He continues: (Regarding the delegation member:
Ahmed Al-Faqeer, Abu A'asem, he is among the
famous pioneers of the Dawah, and he was accused
to be part of the Nusrah instrument119 who were
sentenced to death in the coup attempt in jordan in
1969, among 19 persons sentenced to death, one of
them was Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or), and he is one of
those who kept their word and promise to Allah, and
still waiting for the establishment of the Khilafah
State, and we pray to Allah that it happens soon.
119 A special instrument; any inquiries regarding it should be directed to
the Emir of the Hizb only. A message to the Emir can be sent through any
of the spokesmen or representatives of the Hizb worldwide.
Page 193 of 224
Regarding the delegation member, our brother
(Abdul-Hafeeth Ahmed Al-Shaa'rawy), he was a
pioneer in the Dawah, and he spent his life in
carrying it. Many good deeds are attributed to him,
as he took care of the construction and preparation

at an age of 87, and he was buried in the family
graveyard in Amman. We pray to Allah, for him and
all the Beloved by Allah, to have His mercy on them
and allow them to His paradise, amen.

The Shaheeds of the Sunnah of Prophet
Muhammed SAW121
When the tyrant of Libya, mua'ammar al-qathafy,
was rude enough to speak against the Sunnah in
public, in criticism and rejection, Hizb ut-Tahrir sent a
delegation of his men to discuss the matter with
mua'ammar, then issued a booklet to the Ummah,
exposing the criminality of this thug, which triggered
him to kill a number of the Hizb's Shabab, who Allah
has selected to be the shaheeds of the Haq word,
being said to a tyrant kafir ruler, becoming the
121 Shaheed: martyr. Sunnah: Actions done during life - history. Prophet:
Muhammed. SAW: Salla Allahu alayhi Wassalam: May the mercy and
salute of Allah be upon him.

brothers of Hamza bin Abdul-Mottalib122; the master
of all shaheeds, the companions of Seyyid Qutub;
one of the masters of shaheeds in the 20th century,
and the serial killing of Dawah carriers is still ongoing
in the Muslims' lands, may Allah take their revenge
from the thug butchers who killed them. The Hizb
issued a dramatic statement, after the execution of
13 of his members on the hands of the enemy of
Allah & His Messenger; mua'ammar, may Allah burn
him in hell. Here is the statement:
قُتِ َ ل َأصْحَابُ الُْأخْدُودِ { 4} النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَُقودِ { 5} إِ ْ ذ هُمْ عََليْهَا قُعُودٌ { 6} وَهُمْ عََلى مَا يَفْعَُلو َ ن
بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ { 7} وَمَا نََقمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا َأن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ اْلعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ { 8} الَّذِي َلهُ مُلْكُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَْأرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عََلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ { 9} إِنَّ الَّذِينَ َفتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ُثمَّ َلمْ يَتُوبُوا
َفَلهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وََلهُمْ عَذَابُ اْلحَرِيقِ { 10 } سورة البروج.
[Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire) (4) Fire
supplied (abundantly) with fuel (5) Behold! they sat
over against the (fire) (6) And they witnessed (all)
that they were doing against the Believers (7) And
they ill-treated them for no other reason than that
122 The uncle of Prophet Mohammed SAW, and the Lion of Allah SWT. He
fell a shaheed in the battle of Ohod; the second major conflict between
Muslims and the kafirs of Quraysh.
Page 198 of 224
they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of
all Praise! (8) Him to Whom belongs the dominion of
the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to
all things (9) Those who persecute (or draw into
temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do
not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell:
They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire
(10)]123 Al-Borooj.
Yes indeed, the enemy of Allah, the enemy of His
Messenger, and the enemy of Islam and Muslims, alqathafy,
only ill-treated the Shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir,
because they believe in Allah, The Exalted in Power,
The Worthy of all Praise, and work to resume the
ruling of Allah in Earth, and carry Islam as a
message to the whole world, through the
establishment of The Khilafah.
Hizb ut-Tahrir in this praised month, the blessed
Ramadhan, the month of Qura’an, the month of
sacrifice and giving, the month during which the first
shaheed of honorable companions fell in the great
123 Translation of approximate meaning of verses of the Qura’an.
Page 199 of 224
battle of Bader, announces to the Islamic Ummah
the death of 13 of his Shabab, from Libya, Jordan
and Palestine, who fell shaheed upon the execution
and killing of the tyrant, unjust, blood-sucking thug,
al-qathafy, in Libya. The Messenger of Allah says:
“The master of shaheeds is Hamza, and a man, who
stood up to a tyrant ruler, accounting him for his
actions, thus he killed him”. Those shaheeds are:
Naser Serees, Ali Ahmed Awadallah, Badee’ Hasan
Bader, Nimr Salem Esa, Abdullah Hammodah,
Abdullah Al-Masallaty, Al-Kordy, Saleh Al-Nawal, his
nephew, Mohammed Mohathab Haffan, who were
executed in the schools and universities, in front of
teachers, students, families, and children. One of
them was taken down to be found breathing, then
they hang him up again, then they took him down,
tied him to a car, which started to drag him along the
streets, in front of his family, children, teachers and
students.
The other three; Majid Al-Qudsy Al-Doweik,
Mohammed Bayyoomy, and Al-Faqoory, were killed
under torture in the intelligence in Tripoli.
Page 200 of 224
The whole crime of those 13 young men is
membership of Hizb ut-Tahrir, their carrying of Islam
and work to establish the Islamic Khilafah, as
carrying Islam, and working to resume the ruling of
Allah in Earth is being deemed nowadays a crime by
the tyrant libertine rulers of Muslims. Abdullah Al-
Masallaty was already sentenced to 20-year
imprisonment since 1973, 10 of which had already
been served; they brought him from jail to court with
the charge that he made one person a member of
Hizb ut-Tahrir, while he was in prison, thus the court
sentenced him to death for that. al-qathafy
introduced him as they were working to change the
regime in Libya.
The thing that drove the enemy of Allah, al-qathafy,
to perform this ugly crime and horrible massacre is
spite against Hizb ut-Tahrir, because Hizb ut-Tahrir
had sent a delegation to him to discuss with him the
affair he had announced of denying the usage of the
sayings of The Messenger as evidences. They sat
down with him for 4 hours, they debated with him
and explained to him that the sayings of The
Messenger are like the Qura’an; Sharii evidences
Page 201 of 224
must be taken and considered. They also explained
to him that it’s kufr to deny the sayings of The
Messenger. The Hizb had asked them to carry a
memo with this regard, then the Hizb printed this
memo and distribute it all over the Muslim World,
thus the enemy of Allah and His Messenger got
angry because of that, becoming so mad, and hated
the Hizb this awful hatred, which drove him to shed
the pure bloods of those kind purified Shabab.
We ask Allah to deem their blood a blood of
shaheed, to reward them the best rewards on behalf
of Islam and Muslims, to elevate their status, and get
them together with the prophets, always-believers,
shaheeds, and good people; the best companions,
and makes the rewards of us and their families
great, and inspire us and them to be patient. We also
ask Him to make their blood a good sign for Islam
and Muslims, and signals of victory, to establish the
Khilafah, and rise of the light of Islam and its return
to life. We, the Shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir, say to the
enemy of Allah and His Messenger and the enemy
of Muslims, al-qathafy: the blood of those purified
men will be an eternal curse on you, and your
Page 202 of 224
shedding of those pure bloods will only make us
strengthen our intention and insistence, and will only
increase our belief in Allah and confidence in His
near victory. Soon will the unjust assailants know
what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
To Allah we extend our prayers to descend his
curses, nonstop, on His enemy; al-qathafy, and to
take him severely, and take our revenge from him on
our hands, and make that soon with the
establishment of the Khilafah State, “and Allah hath
full power and control over His affairs; but most
among mankind know it not”.

Memories of Others
I called few of those who kept their promise to Allah,
of the pioneer beloveds by Allah, and ask them to
write some of their memories to the new beloveds by
Allah; "to get the happiness wherever you got it, and
shed tears wherever you shed it, and to learn from
you and your experiences". The first to do it has
been our beloved, and the beloved of our Emir, the
son of the old city in Al-Khaleel, and then there was
the resident of Qanater, may Allah reward both of
them.
Page 205 of 224
I. Memories of the son of old city
I took the first halaqa in Hizb ut-Tahrir in the
beginning of 1953; at that time people used to call us
"The Nabhanies" after the Hizb's establisher, His
Eminence Sheikh "Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany" as they
had no idea about the thoughts of the Hizb back
then. At the beginning we used to have 5-10 person
halaqas, until it was re-structured to have 5 persons
at most. The public culturing was done by public
lessons in the Ebraheemy mosque, once, twice, or
three times weekly, after asr prayer, being attended
by few people only, until it developed and became
regular, every week, after the Friday prayer, dealing
with intellectual issues and political commentaries.
When attendance became significant, and people
interacted with the lessons actively, cursed "globe"
issued his order to make the infamous law of
preachment in mosques125, that's when the state and
its security apparatus started to chase the Shabab
and pressure them, and we kept going despite that.
125 See episode 9.
Page 206 of 224
The Dawah, during its early launch days, faced big
obstacles and severe intellectual struggles took
place between us and "communists, baa'athists,
socialists, and the group of ekhwan moslemoon",
and those bone-breaking struggles were happening
during the same times of severe pressures by the
state and its intelligence, where we used to distribute
political leaflets in a struggling manner, which
caused many Shabab to get arrested from time to
time, that we used to leave our houses wearing our
sleeping clothes under our working clothes in
preparation to get arrested, and intelligence
campaigns to search and arrest on our houses and
stores were done almost every day, but all thanks
and praise to Allah SWT that those pressures never
paused us and forced us to give up.
During the first elections that were done during the
government of "tawfeek abu al-huda" the Hizb
nominated for Al-Khaleel His Eminence Sheikh
Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and Asa’ad Bayyoudh and
Abdul-Ghaffar Katbah. In the second elections they
were Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and Asa’ad Bayyoudh
and Yusuf Al-Zagheer. The campaigning was
Page 207 of 224
severe, as we struggled with the state from one side
and other parties and movements from the other
side, and we were so harmed, that other parties'
men and followers used to chase us and stone us in
cities and villages. The state was more criminal, as
during the second elections I supervised one
election box for the three candidates, and we had
instructions to check the elections' boxes before
being closed, and when the area commander and
the general supervisor came to close the box I
extended my hand into it to check if there were two
levels inside it, that's when the area commander
slapped me in the face so strong that I almost got
unconscious, and of course the elections were faked
in front of everyone's eyes.
One day I wanted to travel to Baghdad, thus I went
to the area commander "mahmood al-rifae'y" to get
travel permit, and when I approached him with the
application, he said: you messed up this country and
you want to mess up Iraq too… then he caught me
from my neck and punched me in the chest that one
bone was broken and I got unconscious, thus was
Page 208 of 224
carried to medical attention and got banned from
traveling.
Once we put banners on the walls during nights
asking people to read the book of "Islamic State" and
when sun rises, they all used to be taken down by
intelligence agents. Once, we were instructed to
gather big number of people during night in the
neighborhood of Al-Bassah, so Sheikh Abu Yusuf126
talk to them and address them, the communists
rained us with stones, and they threw big stone at
Abu Yusuf but it missed him and broke the light
behind him, and the bastards escaped.
In the year 1959 there was monthly session in out
house in the old city and there were about 40
persons, and when the police broke in the house, the
Shabab escaped over the roofs, and 7 were
arrested. My father got angry and asked about the
reason of this bust, that's when they said to him:
because your house is for hookers and bitches, thus
my father got so mad and got a rode in his hand
attempting to strike the intelligence sergeant who
126 His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum.
Page 209 of 224
said that, but the police officer interfered and
stopped him. Few days later we were in court in front
of the criminal "hasan al-kateb"127 and after tough
debate with him, he sentenced us to 3-year
obligatory residence at home, and proving presence
to police 4 times a day, and never leave our house
after sunset until sunrise, and they used to check on
us after sunset, and one day they knocked on the
door and my father replied to them saying that I'm
sleeping and she refused to wake me up despite
their persistent insistence, and she throw water on
their heads the next day, and when I went to the
police station to prove presence, the officer
interrogated me and held me in their dirty toilet for
some time.
During the state's preparation for the vatican's
pope's visit, we were instructed to gather people to
account the ruler, and we gathered about 100 who
were not Shabab, but the intelligence agents
dispersed people, thus we had only few remaining
with us under the leadership of Abdul-Qader Al-
127 I would like to ask all the readers to raise their hands and ask Allah to
make this person's punishment so severe.
Page 210 of 224
Kafrawy, may Allah rest him, and the agents got very
active in arresting the Shabab. The same happened
when accounting the ruler for the state's intention to
deliver West Bank, and it was under the leadership
of Wajeeh Al-Khateeb, may Allah rest him. After that,
someone in charge came form the Hizb to teach us
how to carry out the deeds of entrance to society
through our presence in our localities.
One of the acts of "shake the tree to get rid of
useless objects" Sheikh Taqi-yuddin, may Allah rest
him, was from time to time assign all the Shabab,
including employees, to distributed a leaflet in a
struggling manner128 at a specific time. Once he
asked everyone to do it at 10 o'clock in the morning,
and 8 didn't obey the orders (out of about 50
persons) and the Sheikh decided to punish them by
"ignoring them".
When the state issued a law to force vehicle owners
to purchase insurance, the Hizb asked us to send
128 "Distribution in a struggling manner" means that the Shabab must
distribute the leaflet hand to hand and face to face. Sometimes the
Shabab are not asked to do so, thus they just put the leaflet in mailboxes,
in door's edges, or on cars' windshields.
Page 211 of 224
telegraphs to the prime minister explaining to him
that insurance is a sin in Islam, and we did it, and
some Shabab were arrested as a result of that.
II. Memories of Qanater's Resident129
I was younger than 17 in 1952, just finished 6th grade
and started working as a tailor, when I heard from
one of neighbors' kids that some persons are
studying Islam in their house, mentally, thus I asked
him about them and asked to be one of them, and
then found out that my cousin is one of them, while
he was our neighbor in the same old building in the
Qanater of Al-Khaleel, and because I was so young,
he never thought to invite me to the Dawah, as he
told me later on. During this time Sheikh Taqi-yuddin
came to Al-Khaleel to deliver the speech of Friday
prayer in Al-Ebraheemy mosque, thus I heard him
for the first time, and a lot of people were there, and
he attacked the arab states so severely and was so
aggressive against them, and talked about the past
and presence of the Ummah, in his 1:15 hour
129 The word qanater is the plural form of qantarah, which means bridge. I
assume that in the neighborhood of Al-Khaleel there is an area called
Qanater.
Page 212 of 224
speech, and the purpose of the visit was to put the
attention to something new, and it was achieved.
People were living in darkness and very declined
level without being aware of it, as they were proud
with their leaders and kings, even praising english
globe pasha, use to run to see a leader convoy if any
passes by the city, read about palace storied and
visits of princesses and all similar rubbish news.
When israel was made, their started to hope in
agents and their meetings and conferences, with no
clue about what to do: they were in total darkness.
Launch of "Islamic State" Word
In such circumstance the word "Islamic State" was
launch in Al-Quds, as the Hizb didn't use the word
"Khilafah" as the beginning because people at that
time used to imagine the Khalifah130 when mentioned
as that holy sheikh with tasbeeh chains and
incenses all over, thus they used to think that he is
some kind of historical legend that will never occur
130 The head of the Khilafah State.
Page 213 of 224
again. Thus, the Hizb didn't use the word Khilafah at
the beginning.
The word "Islamic State" reached Iraq through some
travelers who used to take goods to Iraq, thus it
reached there in its raw form: (some people in Al-
Quds are working to establish an Islamic State under
the leadership of Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany) and as
soon as Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Badry and lawyer
Ebraheem Makky heard that, they immediately came
to Al-Quds asking about An-Nabhany and the house
of Tawfeek Abu Khalaf, and the kids told them where
the house is, and they entered and said salam to
everyone and only hugged Sheikh Abdul-Hay Arafah
because he had turban on his head; who left the
Dawah in 1955 and stayed as the mofti of Khaleel
until his death. When the two Iraqis sat down and
talk re-started, they realized that they hadn't hugged
Sheikh Taqi, thus they stood up again and hugged
him. This incident shows us the extreme sensitive
feelings those two persons used to have, as they
came to Al-Quds as soon as they heard about the
issue to start working for it.
Page 214 of 224
In the year 1953 if I recall correct, Sheikh Taqi was
jailed for short time with some of the Shabab in Al-
Quds and the person in charge of jail showed him
hospitality and respect, while the Sheikh wasn't
happy because of that, saying to those around him
that this person is not fit for this job because he
shouldn't show hospitality to prisoners. Those with
the Sheikh, most probably, didn't understand at that
time the meaning of seriousness in thinking. In the
1950's the clubs were where college students meet,
those who study in Egypt and Lebanon and
Damascus, during summer holidays. Also, sport
clubs were centers for communists and baa'athists,
and we used to invade them and go into severe
debates with them, especially communists. Those
types of students and teachers used to carry corrupt
concepts and didn't know about Islam anything but
what they used to hear by preachers. When we used
to struggle them by refutation of theories and what
man-made laws and systems, and talks about
history and nations, and the necessity to change
depending on illuminated thinking process, they
used to feel hollow and weak in front of us.
Page 215 of 224
It was funny that engagement used to be done in Al-
Khaleel, and ceremony attendants used to go on foot
with desserts in hand, and when some Shabab see
them, they used to accompany them, share with
them the happiness of occasion, and talk about the
Dawah with them.
In 1954, although we were few, we needed a place
to gather us, thus opened an office in city center
(bab al-zawyah) under the name of (Lawyer Dawod
Hamdan) to be our center, and we used it as election
campaign center in 1956. During early days we used
to ask one of the men in the neighborhood to gather
his neighbors so we talk to them and invite them to
the Dawah, and when they hear us they get out
slowly and quietly saying to each other: we thought
they will distribute bags of clothes to us, as the
agency of refugees used to do that back then.
In 1955-1956 the halaqas in summer were held
under a tree in the land of Mr. Abdul-Qader Zalloum
in the area of Ein Sarah, which was like a host to
halaqas; teaching and discussions used to extend
from after sunrise until night, away from the system
Page 216 of 224
adopted for halaqas nowadays, that more than one
person used to explain what he had read in the
book, and the attendants used to change. Also, we
used to go to the village and take the students from
there to the farms and teach them in the shadows of
trees.
1955-1958 the number of halaqas increased in town
and a lot of people used to attend the halaqa once or
twice then never come back, and many used to stay,
and when the waves of demonstrations in favor of
abdul-naser used to reach us, they used to leave us
because we used to refuse the idea of
demonstrations and expose the reality of abdulnaser,
and some of them used to fall under pressure,
and the Sheikh used to say: we are like a tree that
drops its useless objects.
In 1955 english "globe" ordered the agents in jordan
to issue the law of preachment in mosques only to
forbid us from addressing people, and after we
finished the Friday prayer in the village's mosque, I
stood up next to the mosque's door addressing them
Page 217 of 224
and saying that what forced me to address you
outside the mosque is the law of english "globe".
In 1959 it was announced in Al-Khaleel that there
was an intention to open cinema theater, during the
days of governor "sae'eed al-dajany", thus we
formed a delegated of people and Shabab, lead by
Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah, and they went to the
governor to refuse the idea of cinema in Al-Khaleel,
and the governor met the delegation and Ebraheem
talked to him and delivered to him the petition signed
by delegates and some people. Thus was done to
get people to get used to the idea of working as a
group in a collective manner, and the idea worked
out and the cinema wasn't established in Al-Khaleel.
In 1966 the Hizb exposed the conspiracy of delivery
of West Bank to israel, then the war of radio in 1967,
and because people used to be in favor of abdulnaser,
and since we are with the claimed war
atmosphere, the people started to threaten us with
hanging on electricity pillars after the Egyptian army
entered and defeats israel as they used to think, that
one of the Shabab was threatened by his brother to
Page 218 of 224
kill him after the victory that will be accomplished on
the hands of abdul-naser, but after the jews entered
Al-Khaleel, that person went back to his brother;
Abdul-Qader Sarsoor, crying and beginning for
forgiveness. Just before West bank was delivered to
israel, people used to accuse us of being american
agents, as the rumors and lies created by
intelligence agencies were against us at that time,
and they used to accuse us of getting paid dollars by
the american embassy, and there has been time
during the days of abdul-naser where we had no
support among people at all.
During the days of "foa'ad shehab" in Lebanon; I
don't recall the exact date, the named person used
to chase our Shabab in Lebanon. Thus, the Hizb
decided to send him telegraphs, and in Al-Khaleel
the selected person was Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah,
to send the telegraph to foa'ad shehab. Ebraheem
got the text from the Hizb and went to the post office
and wrote the telegraph: (foa'ad shehab, president of
republic of Lebanon, Lebanon is a Muslim country,
so how come you chase the sons of Muslims in your
country?) and handed the telegraph to the
Page 219 of 224
employee, who got nervous when he read it, and
asked Ebraheem: what's this? He replied: what you
see. After he paused a little while, the employee
went to the manager "omar shaheen" who came to
Ebraheem and made sure that he really wants to
send the telegraph. Then he asked Ebraheem for his
passport to verify the identity, wrote down the info,
and got the telegraph. When Ebraheem went home
that afternoon, there were the army and police
waiting for him, and took him to the intelligence then
to prison, and all attempts by intelligence to
persuade him not to send the telegraph failed, and
next day and while Ebraheem in jail he learnt that
foa'ad shehab had received the telegraph. After
being arrested for 5 months, Ebraheem was
sentenced by a marshal court for 6-month
imprisonment, and he got out after that.
In 1965 one seat in the parliament got vacant due to
the death of member yusuf abdul-fattah abu awadh
from Khaleel, and nominations were accepted in Al-
Khaleel, thus the government nominated teacher
ismail hijazy and the Hizb nominated Asa’ad
Bayyoudh. All people agreed on Asa’ad, not
Page 220 of 224
because they all support the Hizb, but because of
the accusations and enmity between abdul-naser
and jordan, and there was no need to campaigning
for Asa’ad, thus the jordanian government became
mad, and their intelligence started to apply the policy
of "carrot and stick" on asa’ad to withdraw, and when
Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or heard about that he came
to Al-Khaleel, but wasn't allowed to pass by the
police at police station of “Kafr Asyoon” village, and
he called asa’ad to advise him and give him
strength, but no advice worked with him, and he
accept late night to withdraw form the elections, just
one day before casting votes, in the host-house of
A'al Al-Tamimy, to which he belonged, and "hasan
al-kateb" who was deputy of the king in West Bank
was in charge of the withdrawal himself in the named
host-house, and when we heard about that meeting
we rushed to that host-house that afternoon, and
asa’ad was one the platform, with hasan al-kateb
and head of municipality mohammed ali al-jaa'bary,
while Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah (20 years old) was
the head of spear in the audience. hasan al-kateb
and asa’ad stood up, and asa’ad was about to
announce his withdrawal from the elections, that's
Page 221 of 224
when Ebraheem shouted at him: Don't see anything
without its Sharii evidence, O asa’ad. When asa’ad
heard that from Ebraheem, whom he made member
in the Hizb, he said: (let the elections get through).
There, hasan al-kateb ordered the area commander;
nizar al-mefleh, as I recall, arresting Ebraheem and
sent him to prison, and before getting there another
one of hasan al-kateb's men came and brought them
back to the host-house, where hasan al-kateb asked
Ebraheem: what do you do? And he answered:
tailor. When hasan al-kateb knew he wasn't a
government employee, he released him after some
interference from some people like Sheikh Al-
Jaa'bary and few men in the host-house.
During night Ebraheem Al-Sharabaty came from
Amman and we spent the night in total anger. In the
morning Ebraheem Al-Sharabaty – Abu Shaker, and
Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah went to the house of
asa’ad, and found him walking as if he was lost, in
his own land, and when they approached him at a
rock, he was bursting into the weeping, thus they left
him and went back. When the incident was
conveyed to Sheikh Taqi, he said: (that bastard,
Page 222 of 224
hasan al-kateb, he was shaking in front of
Ebraheem), as if he was with us in the host-house.
Before I conclude, I must introduce criminal "hasan
al-kateb" to all:
hasan al-kateb: he came with king abdullah bin
hussein from Al-Hijaz131 when he invaded eastern
Jordan, and he worked as army officer under the
commandership of general john globe, and gradually
ascended in posts until he was assigned the general
marshal commander of jordan and king deputy in
West Bank. He was so criminal that he used to judge
tens of persons in one session in court and classify
them at random, and sentence them with various
rulings at random and as he wishes. It's said that he
had no father. He lived with no children and perished
in Al-Quds in 1967 in total dishonor, may Allah have
no mercy on him.

God; then some of them have fulfilled their vow and some of
them are waiting and have not changed in the least,(23) that
God may recompense the truthful for their truth and punish

surely Forgiving, Merciful.(24) And God turned back the

you made captives.(26) And He made you to inherit their
land, their houses, their wealth, and the land you did not
tread; and God is surely powerful over every-thing.(27)]1 ALAHZAB.

Preface of Translator
A very dear brother, a Dawah3 carrier, told me that it
would be beneficial to translate this book, as the
Dawah carriers who are not fluent in Arabic are in
great need to know the history of the Dawah and
especially its early days. Upon getting in touch with
the author, he welcomed the idea of translation and
provided me with the book. This book, composed of
episodes of memories4, is huge in content. I did a lot
of the translation on the fly, as I felt I need to release
the translation fast, thus my focus was to help the
3 Dawah: Call. This word has evolved to become a term used by Hizb ut-
Tahrir followers to imply the Hizb whenever used alone. When combined
with the word carrier (i.e. Dawah carrier), it usually, but not necessarily,
means a member of the Hizb. Here, it does.
4 There are 32 episodes in total.
Page 8 of 224
reader to understand the point and get the idea,
nothing else. I translated the first 5 episodes in
complete. Starting from episode 6, and upon getting
the author's full permission, I started to edit a little
bit. I also added footnotes wherever I considered
appropriate or necessary; the original text had no
footnotes.
It must be noticed that the author is from the city of
Al-Khaleel5, thus the majority of his memories is
related to that locality. I am personally aware of
names of pioneers in the Hizb who are not
mentioned in this book, thus the list of names
mentioned is not exclusive by any means. Also, it
must be noticed that both the author and myself; the
translator, are mere members in Hizb ut-Tahrir, with
no official title (e.g. spokesman or representative).
Thus, all statements and interpretations in the text
belong to the author, and those in footnotes belong
to me. Even when I translate adopted literature, the
Hizb cannot be held responsible of my translation; it
is responsible of the original text of that literature, in
5 Hebron, West Bank, Palestine.

Arabic. In case there is any historical, political,
intellectual or sharii deviation between this book and
the adopted literature of Hizb ut-Tahrir, then for sure
it has been committed by mistake and Hizb ut-Tahrir
cannot be held responsible of it. I urge anyone who
comes across such deviation to email me, in order to
revise it. I tried my best not to commit such mistake,
but I cannot claim perfection by any means.
I ask Allah SWT6 to bless the author and all our
brothers and sisters of Dawah carriers with his great
blessings, and allow them:
1- to accomplish the victory of Islam in this life,
through the establishment of The Islamic
Khilafah State,
2- to save humanity from evil ideas7, and
3- to enter the highest levels of Paradise in the
hereafter, amen.
And let my Lord be my witness that I love the author
and every sincere Dawah
carrier in Allah.
6 SWT: Subhanahu Wa Taa'ala: The Unlike any and The Above all, all
Glory be to Him.
7 All ideological ideas not founded on Islamic Creed are deemed evil.

Introduction
Since I started authoring these episodes of
memories, I get carried out by a huge wave of
sadness and sorrow every time I recall a memory or
write a paragraph, because I know that I will forget
many men and many stands regardless of how
strong I try to recall the good deeds of those great
men.
Those are not only Dawah carriers, rather they are
the selected elite of the Ummah8, the beautiful mole
that no eye can miss, the lamps of light boast in their
mouths, their tongues speak of the evidences of the
Book (Qura’an), they are the selected elite under the
8 The Ummah is the Islamic Nation.

leadership of the re-newer9 of Islamic Thought in the
20th century; His Eminence Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-
Nabhany, and his companion and successor; His
Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, and the
voice of Haq10 under the dome of parliament: the
man who rejected to place trust in rulers and to
accept the legislation of kufr11 systems and laws; His
Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Ad-Dao’or. Yes indeed,
they are the carriers of the flag of change, the riders
of the right path, the rivals of Satan and his puppets
on earth. With them Allah SWT will fix the lands
insha-Allah, and will protect the slaves. Among them
there who resembled the companions of Prophet
Mohammed SAW12 and the companions of
messenger Esa13 bin Mariam peace be upon him
and his mother, who were cut with saws and
crucified. They were patient against affliction, torture,
getting fired from jobs, getting their heads chopped
off, and being displaced repeatedly all over, they

altering it.

were vocal with their Dawah of Haq, carrying the
torch of guidance to the whole world, some of them
have passed away, and some of them is still waiting
without altering anything of the Haq they have
believed in and carried through the years. They are
the hope of the Ummah, her wish, her leaders to
goodness and victory insha-Allah. They have carried
the Dawah, ordered the righteousness (i.e. Ma’ruf)
and forbade the evil (i.e. Monkar), resisted the
corruption and agents, and spoke up of Dawah,
never compromised and never showed two faces,
and taught patience how patience should be. They
taught tyrants and idols and criminality experts how
men can be patient, they scared the rulers and
infidel states and infidel intelligence services, and
they withstood the conspiracies of enemies and
slaves of enemies, of tyrants’ assistants and
mercenaries and ruler-lovers, and all those
movements and hatred-full organizations that have
their hearts full with spite and malice, including some
of the self-proclaimed Islamists, who lowered
themselves to the level that some intelligence
agencies couldn’t descend to. I do beg Allah SWT
for those who are left of them and those who
Page 13 of 224
followed them and walked their path under the
leadership of the Sheikh of Sheikhs, the Emir of Hizb
ut-Tahrir, His Eminence, Sheikh Ata Abu Ar-Rashta,
and I do ask Allah SWT to fulfill His truthful promise
on their hands by the establishment of the Islamic
State and the raising of the Flag of Eagle14.
What I have sought of publishing these memories
has not been the historical narration of a giant Hizb,
and has not been to keep the records of those
great sheikhs, or rather genius figure men, otherwise
I would have never given them what they deserve.
To be clear, these episodes of (The Beloveds by
Allah) are mere memories I recalled five decades
later and had never written down. It has never
occurred to me that I will have such huge privilege;
otherwise I would have taken notes along the years,
and would have kept supplementary documents.
These memories are what is left in mind for a long
history, a history that has been surrounded with
huge incidents, as our Establisher Emir may Allah
have mercy on him had shaken the tree so many
times and so frequently to get rid of the useless and
14 This is the name of the flag of Prophet Mohammed SAW.
Page 14 of 224
to abort fake pregnancy, and there came the ordeal
of stability on principle, which some sheikhs would
prefer to call: the ordeal of the perished jamal abdulnaser15,
may Allah have no mercy on him, that
ordeal that caused everyone to fight us and be our
enemy, and that extended to personal harm, and the
catastrophe was that the Hizb saw his men falling
one after another, leaving the Dawah one after
another, until only 25% stood fast and held firm. It
was not a picnic the successors of which inherited
paradise, rather struggles and self-conflicts and
sighs and tears and tortures and job terminations
and displacements and humiliations and insomnias.
All this was withstood by huge, giant men, who never
bend to unjust man and never prostrated to anyone
by The Great Creator. I recall these memories, and
every time I take the pencil to write them down my
tears start to run on their own for their memories,
thus I recall some and forget many. I have not
pressured myself to revive their memories, nor to be
proud of them or to point at their legacies, as they
are higher before Allah SWT and certainly need not
15 Ex-president of Egypt (1954-1970), biggest agent of the USA in the 20th
century, a real thug and traitor.
Page 15 of 224
such praise from us. These memories, however, are
to be a school for us, to teach us the stands of men,
so that we walk the path of honor they had walked
before us. To get the attention to the fact that the
legacies of the Companions can indeed re-occur on
the hands of men as patient as the Companions
were, rather as patient as Prophet Ayyoub peace be
upon him was, and as the Companions in their
thoughts and Aqeeda (creed) and good discipline.
As such, may Allah’s peace be upon them and upon
all those who walk the path of Prophet Mohammed
SAW until the Day of Judgment.
When we present these memories, we present them
to you o youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir: as you are the heirs
of (The Beloveds by Allah), the Dawah carriers, the
youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir, who are the selected elite of
the Ummah alhamdulellah, who are the beautiful
mole that no eye can mess, the carriers of the flag of
change under the leadership of their Emir and
Leader His Eminence Sheikh Ata Abu Ar-Rashta
may Allah protect him and make victory on his
hands.
Page 16 of 224
They are the ones who promised Allah SWT to
serious work to realize the establishment of the
Islamic Khilafah, the fardh16 and crown of all fardhs.
Upon this, they have been faced and fought by
criminal thugs who have been trying to silence them
and crush their Dawah, who fear not Allah nor care
about their bonds with us, thus they open the jails
detention camps, and whipped the backs, tortured
and tried to seduce the youth who stood fast and
cared not about anything but their promise to Allah,
among them those who passed away in the jails of
tyrants due to the tremendous torture and among
them those who await without altering any of the Haq
they have believed in. In their attempts to extinguish
the torch of light that shined from Al-Aqsa Mosque,
tyrants got help from those who have lost their taqwa
and piety, those of libertine personalities, including
the ruler-lover sheikhs and self-proclaimed Muslims.
Those have worked day and night to seduce you, o
youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and to prevent people from
listening to your word of Haq, thus they authored
16 Obligatory ruling in Islam
Page 17 of 224
their intelligence books, and fabricated misguided
verdicts (i.e. fatwas), and specialized forums to lie on
you and describe you as infidels, forums that in
reality are stinky swamps. Their silly and idiots have
asked Allah on the platforms (i.e. minbars) to take
your souls. How would Allah SWT accept for His
Beloveds the seduction (i.e. fitna) and aggression of
men, no He will not:

الأعراف.
[And to Midian (We sent) their brother Shuaib; he
said, `my people, serve God, you have no god other
than He; there has come to you a clear Sign from
your Lord, so fill up the measure and the balance,
and do not diminish the goods of the people, and do
not create disorder in the land, after its reformation;
that is better for you, if you are believers.(85) And do
not sit on every path, threatening and barring from
God's way those who believe in Him, seeking
Page 18 of 224
crookedness in it; and remember when you were few
and He multiplied you; and see how was the end of
those who create disorder.(86) And if a group among
you believes in the Message I have been sent with,
and a group does not believe, then be patient, till
God judges between us; and He is the best of
judges'.(87)]17 AL-A’RAF
My brothers and beloved Dawah carriers:
It wasn’t my intention when I carried a trust that
mountains would crack beneath, which is to transfer
my memories about great giant sheikhs (The
Beloveds by Allah), it wasn’t my intention to carry
this burden to narrate stories, nor to praise certain
peoples and criticize others, I seek refuge to Allah
from such intentions. I also haven’t written my
memories to make their bibliographies a source of
amusement and topic to get pleased by. No my
brothers, these are memories my pen didn’t’ write
because it still has ink in it, and my tongue didn’t get
pleased with them. Rather, who writes these
memories to you is a heart full with love to his
17 Translation of approximate meaning of verses of the Qura'an.
Page 19 of 224
masters and Emirs of (The Beloveds by Allah), eyes
that got so dry because they cried so much for their
memories, and a heart that longs eagerly to them,
and a thinking mind that believes memories do
benefit the believers. Do remember, my brothers, as
I see in your feedbacks cries for their memories and
flooding emotions and unbelievable love, do
remember that: love and hatred do not meet in a
believer’s heart, and it’s the custom of bibliography
readers to learn from them. By the way, I have never
seen the beloveds by Allah of our great sheikhs to
feel hatred towards those who harm us of the
Muslims, not even for one instant. Rather, their
hatred was towards the infidel enemies, thus do
follow them and treat our brothers in Islam with love
and patience as our great sheikhs, the beloved by
Allah, did. If you don’t, then what is the benefit of the
memories of their paths? Do devote your intentions
to Allah, my dear brothers, and do remember that
the Dawah carrier never insult, curse nor swear at
others.

Episode 1
Emergence of Light from Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Dawah of Hizb ut-Tahrir appeared early 1953 in
the Blessed Lands18. The establisher of Hizb is His
Eminence Sheikh Taqi-yuddin bin19 Ebraheem bin
Mustafa bin Ismail bin Yusuf An-Nabhany. The
family name (An-Nabhany) is after the tribe of Beni20
Nabhan that belongs to the Desert Arabs in
Palestine, which settled down in the village of Ejzim,
county of Safad, which is attached to the city of Haifa
in Northern Palestine. The Sheikh was born in the
village of Ejzim in 1909 in a house of knowledge and

religion, famous with taqwa21 and piety. His father;
Sheikh Ebraheem, was a faqeeh22 working as a
teacher of various branches of Sharia in the ministry
of education in Palestine. Also, his mother was as
knowledgeable in Sharia as she got that from her
father Sheikh Yusuf bin Ismail bin Yusuf An-
Nabhany; the judge, literate, poet and key figure in
Sufism, who authored many books and publications,
such as the famous book of "Parcels of Paradise"23.
The Sheikh's grandfather; the father of his mother,
as mentioned in some bibliographies: Yusuf bin
Ismail bin Yusuf bin Hasan bin Mohammed An-
Nabhany Al-Shafii, Abu Al-Mahasin, literate, poet,
sufi, one of prominent judges, was in charge of
judicial affairs in Jenin area that belongs to Nablus
district24. He moved to Constantinople25, then
assigned as judge in Kiwi Sonjoq, an area attached
to the province of Mosel26, then chairman of

punishment court in Lattakia27, then in Jerusalem28,
then of law court in Beirut29. He authored forty eight
(48) publications.
This environment, in which he was raised up, had
huge effect on the way the Islamic personality of
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin was formed and built. Thus, he
memorized the whole Qura’an before the age of
thirteen (13), and he was influenced by his
grandfather; the father of his mother, and his taqwa
and consciousness, and he benefited a lot from his
vast knowledge. He acquired political awareness so
early, especially those significant political affairs that
his grandfather was aware of due to his close
contacts with the rulers in the Ottoman State. The
Sheikh also benefited a lot from the sessions and
debates that his grandfather Sheikh Yusuf used to
hold. During these sessions and debates, his
intelligence and sharp smartness pulled the attention
of his grandfather, thus he paid extra care to him and

convinced his father to send him to Al-Azhar to
continue his education in Sharia.
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin then joined the high school of Al-
Azhar in the year 1928 and passed with exceptional
success to get the "Scholarly Certificate of
Strangers"30. He joined the College of "Knowledge
House" that is administered by Al-Azhar, and he
used to attend knowledge circles of the Sheikhs of
Al-Azhar, where he graduated from this College of
Knowledge House in the year 1932, and he
graduated from Al-Azhar in the same year. He
worked in the field of Sharii education in the ministry
of education until the year 1938, when he moved to
practice the Sharii judicial profession. He started as
a Head Cleric in Central Haifa Court, then
Consultant (i.e. Deputy Judge) and then the Judge of
Al-Ramla Court until the year 1948, when he
traveled to Damascus after the Jewish occupation of
Palestine. He returned in the same year to be
appointed as a Judge in the Sharii Court of
Jerusalem. After that he was appointed as a Judge
الشهادة العالِمية للغرباء 30
Page 24 of 224
in the Sharii Appeal Court until the year 1950 when
he resigned and moved to give lectures to the high
school students of the Islamic Scientific College in
Amman until the year 1952. May Allah SWT bless
him; he used to be so knowledgeable in many fields,
Absolute Mojtahed31, delicate and persuasive talker.
Before the establishment of the Hizb, the Sheikh
authored three (3) books: “The Message of Arabs”,
“Saving Palestine”, and “The System of Islam”. The
later book used to have green cover and one third
(1/3) of its current volume. These three books are
considered as personal publications of the Sheikh
and are not related to the Hizb. The last books he
authored before he passed away were two
distinguished and unique books, both in content and
style; the book of “Thinking”, which was followed by
the book of “Presence of Mind”. Both of these two
books are published by the Hizb. The whole Islamic
Ummah lost the most prominent scholar of his time,
the bowl of knowledge, the most famous faqeeh of
31 Absolute Mojtahed: the Muslim Scholar who is so knowledgeable that
he can derive his own Foundations of Fiqh (Usul al-Fiqh) from various
verified sources of Islam, thus he can have his own school of thought,
similar to Abu Hanifa, Malek, Al-Shafii, or Ahmed bin Hanbal.

his era, the re-newer of Islamic Intellect in the 20th
century, Faqeeh, Mojtahed, Scholar, His Eminence
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany, the Emir and
Establisher of Hizb ut-Tahrir, in the day of 20 June
1977 G / 1398 H, and he was buried in the
Graveyard of Al-Awzaii in Beirut, where he died
without being able to achieve the target he had
devoted his life for; the Rashidi Khilafah on the path
of Prophecy, leaving the flag to his successor and
road companion His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Yusuf Zalloum. Long Jihad and many
exhausting attempts to reach the goal, resulted in a
Hizb to which thousands of thousands of people
belong and carry its thoughts, and which has millions
of supporters. This Hizb's men widely spread in
every part of the world and entered every jail of
infidels and tyrants. In the day of 11 Safar 1424 H,
13 April 2003 G, the chairman of the Diwan of
Mazalim32 in Hizb ut-Tahrir announced the election
of the Usuli33, Scholar, Engineer, His Eminence
Sheikh Ata Abu Ar-Rashta "Abu Yaseen" as the Emir
of Hizb ut-Tahrir, after the stepping down of the

Scholar, His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum from the leadership of the Hizb on Monday
14 Moharram 1424 H, 17 March 2003 G. The knight
of knights and their leader descended from his horse
that he had ridden for more than fifty (50) years
(during the first half of which he was helpful assistant
to the Establisher Imam, and during the second half
he was the successor Emir of the Establisher Emir
following his death) after nonstop work and
exhausting effort to achieve the goal. His stepping
down, as he stated, was for the benefit of Dawah,
and that he wants an Emir who can continue walking
the path with strength and energy. He also stated
that his stepping down is by no means escape from
the responsibility of leave of Dawah, rather he
promised to stay as a working soldier in the Dawah
until he meets Allah SWT. Later, the knight of
knights and the sheikh of sheikhs, the Emir of Hizb
ut-Tahrir His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Yusuf
Zalloum, born in the year 1923, was announced
dead in the day of 27 Safar 1424 H, 29 April 2003,
aged at eighty (80). Condolences were accepted in
the city of Khaleel (Hebron) in Palestine in the diwan
of Abu Gharbiyyah Al-Sha'rawi, where the scene
Page 27 of 224
was unlike any scene the city had witnessed before,
as people flooded from all cities and villages, racing
to pay their condolences and delivering speeches
and poems, as the microphone-linked phone kept
ringing to deliver words of condolences from Sudan,
Kuwait, Europe, Indonesia, America, Jordan, Egypt,
and all over the world. Similar houses of
condolences were set in Amman and elsewhere too.

Episode 2
Launch of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s March
The Hizb started its intellectual activity by issuing the
first of its books "The System of Islam" for Sheikh
Taqi-yuddin, almost in the current volume and
unique appearance and with an introduction by
Dawod Hamdan, where is was mentioned: (In the
Islamic world, part of which is the Arab world, many
movements were established to liberate it from the
bad reality in which it resides, but all those
movements failed because they never understood
the real meaning of liberation…). On the other hand,
this introduction was omitted in later editions after
Sheikh Dawod Hamdan departed the Hizb, during
what has been known later on as "Leadership
Page 29 of 224
Ordeal". The Ordeal of Leadership was the first ring
of many rings of ordeals that hit the Hizb and that
affected its progress negatively. It started when few
of the first generation, many of which belonged to
the first cell, raised the issue of decision making
process by the Hizb leadership, and asked for it to
be collective. On the other hand, the Establisher
Leader insisted that it must be singular. They also
wanted the Hizb not to work in Syria so it stays as a
safe haven for the Shabab34 and Hizb leaders. This
caused a storm of discussions and arguments that
lasted for weeks, upon which some famous persons
departed the Hizb, like: Nimr Al-Masry, Dawod
Hamdan, Abdul-Ghaffar Katbah, Abdul-Majeed Abu
Laben, Hashim Abu Amarah, and all were residents
of Syria.
The second book of the Hizb was the booklet of
"Bases of Rise"35 for Dawod Hamdan, and during the
same year the booklet of "Concepts of Hizb ut-
34 Shabab: Youth people. This word evolved to become a term used by
the followers of the Hizb to imply the members, as the Hizb states in its
literature that all its members should carry the Dawah as energetic youth,
regardless of their age.

Tahrir" and the booklet of "Partisan Massing"36, then
the book of "Ruling System of Islam" for An-Nabhany
with an introduction by Nimr Al-Masry, then the
booklet of "Launch Point of Hizb ut-Tahrir" and the
book of "Islamic State" for An-Nabhany and with an
introduction by Dawod Hamdan were released. Then
the books of "Economical System of Islam", "Social
System of Islam", "Political Concepts of Hizb ut-
Tahrir" and "Islamic Personality" for Sheikh Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany, in its small volume and with the
first edition composed of one (1) part only, were
released. Most of the books used to have one page
defining the Hizb and its thoughts, starting like this:
(Hizb ut-Tahrir is a political party, the principle of
which is Islam and the purpose of which is the
resumption of the Islamic Life by the construction of
the Islamic State, and it allows women into its
membership as it allows men…etc). Books used to
be distributed by secretive sales for 30 Fils37 for the
booklet and 100 Fils for the book, all with white cover
and red title and the rest of the cover was black,
التكتل الحزبي 36
37 The currency of Jordan, and thus of West Bank of Palestine at that
time; was Dinar. One Dinar is made up of 1000 Fils. Currently, 1.00
Jordanian Dinar is almost equivalent to $1.40.
Page 31 of 224
such that all the books of the Hizb became known
with this distinguished shape. The first book to be
released in a different shape was "Hot Call to the
Muslims from Hizb ut-Tahrir"38 which had a colorful
cover bearing the Flag of Eagle. In the year 1958
and afterwards the Hizb released, by Waie39
Bookstore – Beirut, a collection of books of the Hizb
that were not listed as part of the adopted
publications of the Hizb, like "Islamic Intellect"40 for
Mohammed Mohammed Ismail Abdouh, and
"Rulings of Prayer" for Sheikh Ali Ragheb. After that
the books of "System of Punishments" and "Ideal
Economical Policy" were released for Attorney
Abdur-Rahman Al-Malki and “Rulings of Evidences”
for Sheikh Ahmed Ad-Dao'or, and then the rest of
the known books followed; the most famous of which
were “Refutation of Marxist Socialism” for Ghanem
Ismail Abdouh, “How the Khilafah was Demolished”
for Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and “Refutation of Civil
Law” for Sheikh Ahmed Ad-Dao’or, which was a
speech delivered by him in the Jordanian
نداء حار للمسلمين من حزب التحرير 38

Parliament. The only book that the Hizb had included
officially into its adopted publications and was
authored by a person other than the two Sheikhs41,
other than “Bases of Rise”42, was “Islamic Dawah –
Duties and Attributes”43 for the Scholar, His
Eminence Sheikh Mahmoud Abdul-Latif Oweidah,
Abu Eyas44, which raised anger among Pledge-
Breachers45 as they saw the Hizb introducing the
real thinkers of his sincere giant men and ignoring
the dwarves, placing each person in his welldeserved
location. This drove them to reveal the
spite they had hidden in their dark hearts, declaring
their breach of the pledge after they arranged among
themselves to hide it until what they thought to be
the right moment, exploiting the opportunity of this
book, to downgrade the book, its giant author, the
41 Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany and Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum.
42 The Hizb excluded this book from its adopted publications when the
author departed the Hizb.
43 Later on, the Hizb excluded this book from its adopted publications to
pull the rug from beneath the pledge-breachers (see footnote # 12).
44 He currently resides in Amman, Jordan.
45 Pledge-Breachers ( الناآثون ): A group of ex-members of the Hizb, who
betrayed the Hizb and tried to dismantle it by claiming that their Pledge to
the Hizb and its Emir holds no more. Even some of them were that rude to
claim that their pledge was to Sheikh An-Nabhany only. Each group of
them declared its own emir. However, Allah SWT protected His Dawah by
the extreme wisdom of Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and the strong
stands of faithful Shabab, getting out of this ordeal much stronger and
shinier than ever before.
Page 33 of 224
Sheikh, and the whole Hizb. This attempt concluded
in their tremendous failure, getting defeated,
disgraced, and expelled from a Dawah they had
never really been part of, with no regrets nor
rewards. Thus, this book of Sheikh Abu Eyas
constituted a decisive and turning point between two
eras of the Hizb.
On the personal level, some of the Shabab
published their-own authored books that were not
included into the Hizb’s adopted publications46, such
as “Islam, between Scholars and Rulers” and “The
Ruling of Islam in Socialism” for Sheikh Molla Abdul-
Aziz Al-Badry, “Oman and the Seven Emirates” for
Sheikh Abdul-Qader Zalloum, Abu Faisal, “The
Immortal Torch” which is an intellectual poem epic
for Poet Emin Shannar, and “Palestine, the Land of
Muslims” which is a historical poem epic for Poet
Abdul-Hafith Abu Naba’a. In addition, many of the
Shabab have published their intellectual production
in newspapers and specialist magazines.
46 Currently, there are hundreds and maybe thousands of such books.

Giant Pioneers
At the Dawah’s early days, the following men were
among those who became well-known in Jerusalem:
His Eminence Establisher Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-
Nabhany, Mr. Nimr Al-Masry, Attorney Mr. Dawod
Hamdan, Mr. Tawfeeq Es’haq Abu Khalaf (trader),
Sheikh Fares Edrees (teacher), Mr. Abdul-Raheem

Lafee, and a Sheikh that resides Amman now from
Kalboonah family.
In Beit-Lahem: Sheikh Abdul-Samee’ Al-Rifai’ Al-
Masry.
In Ramallah: Nitham Hussein (tailor), poet Emin
Shannar who published his collection of poems
(Immortal Torch). Emin Shannar was not on the
margin in Dawah, as some claim, as I knew him and
I am aware of his active role in Dawah and his
extreme closeness to Sheikh Abu Ebraheem47, until
he departed the Dawah at an early stage due to his
disagreement with the Sheikh over the way of
culturing in study circles. It’s to be mentioned that
Nitham Hussien departed the Dawah at an early
stage too, as he got bored because of the lengthy
road.
47 It is accustomed by Arabs who reside in the eastern region of the Arab
lands to call the person after his elder son. The word (Abu) means (The
father of). The name of the elder son of Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany
is Ebraheem, thus he is Abu Ebraheem. On the other hand, Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Zalloum is Abu Yusuf and the current Emir of the Hizb; Sheikh
Ata Abu Ar-Rashta is Abu Yaseen, where (Abu Ar-Rashta) is the family
name of Sheikh Ata, and the name of his elder son is Yaseen.

Malhy (stone-breaker), Ebraheem Khaled Al-
Natshah (carpenter), Mohammed Rodh’wan (trader),
and the majority of the men of movement 313.
Regarding "Movement 313" it was the first
movement before Hizb us-Tahrir that called for the
establishment of the Islamic State. The establisher of
Page 38 of 224
this movement is Sheikh Hamza Abdul-Ghaffar
Tahbob (truck-driver). They considered that having
313 members will result in the establishment of the
Islamic State, because the number of Mohajiroun48
was 313. They obliged their members not to deal
with the infidel state's organs and departments, that
they forbade one of their members to go to the police
station to report a robbery of his shop. When the
Hizb was established, the movement got dissolved
as the majority of its members joined the Hizb,
except its establisher. The famous of them that I
recall are Ebraheem Shaker Al-Sharabaty (Azhari
student and truck-driver), Ahmed Ebraheem Mesk
(baker), Abdul-Ghaffar Al-Skeikh Dorrah (owner of
Al-Quds restaurant in Amman nowadays), Sheikh
Rabii' Barakat Al-Ash'hab (baker), Mohammed
Nai'eem Othman Al-Sharabaty (truck-driver), Yakoop
Abdul-Kareem Abu Remeelah Al-Tamimy (leathertanner),

and each of them with no exception had prominent

In northern West Bank of Palestine: His Eminence
Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or (Sharii judge), Mr.
Mohammed Moosa Abdul-Hady (authority

Sheikh Abu Hamed from Azzoun, poet Mustafa
Haydar Al-Kilany, and poet Abdul-Hafeeth
Mohammed Abu Naba'ah.
In Lebanon: Sheikh Ali Safyah, Mr. Ali Fakhr-uddin,
and Sheikh Yusuf Baa'darany.
In Iraq: His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Badry,
the author of "The Islamic Ruling over Socialism"
who was killed by evil baa'athists, may Allah punish
them severely, due to his book. As during the
beginning of the establishment of the Hizb, Sheikh
Al-Badry and his friends had heard the news of the
establishment of the Hizb in Al-Quds, thus they
came from Baghdad to Al-Quds questioning and
searching. They were three persons: Sheikh Abdul-
Aziz and with him Mr. Ebraheem Makky and a third

Page 41 of 224
person; I cannot recall his name50. They gathered
with Sheikh Taqi-yuddin in the house of Tawfeeq
Abu Khalaf in the presence of Sheikh Abdul-Hay
Arafah and Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and
Asa’ad Bayyodh and others. These three established
the first cell of the Hizb in Iraq, keeping in mind that
Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem stayed in Baghdad for few
years after he had departed Al-Khaleel, under the
cover of an employee in Trade Company of Es'haq
Abu Khalaf in Baghdad, working next to Sheikh
Abdul-Aziz and his mates tirelessly to get The Pivot51
in Iraq, where some of the Shabab were sent to help
out with this task such as Saleh Abdul-Salah Al-
Mohtaseb and Ebraheem Rateb Abu Ghazalah and
others. It is to be noticed that the Establisher Sheikh
had given extreme importance to the Nusrah
operation52 in Iraq, and traveled several times to Iraq
for that purpose, to join Abu Yusuf in several
important contacts, one of which was the contact
with Abdul-Salam Arif and others. His last trip there
was prior to his death when he was arrested on the
50 Engineer Taleb Al-Samerae’y, if I am not mistaken.

Iraqi borders with Syria. When the torture of
investigators didn't help them in getting him to talk,
even to say his name as he had no personal
documents with him, and where the only thing he
used to say: "An old man looking for medication"53,
the investigators got bored with him and kicked him
out through the Syrian borders. He had his hand
paralyzed and his body totally weakened due to the
severe torture the tyrants implemented on him. His
kicking out through the borders was just before the
wire came from the Jordanian Intelligence, telling
them that the person they have in custody is Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany himself. But they missed the
opportunity.
In Egypt, the Hizb sent Engineer Moosa Hamadah
Qoneiby, who worked there for some time then was
arrested and kicked out of country, just after he
managed to establish the partisan seed there. Also,
the Azhari student Mohammed Badawy Al-Natsheh;
the peot, was kicked out with many others.
53 The Sheikh was an old man indeed, and he was after the medication of
the Ummah.
Page 43 of 224
It is to be noticed that this whole research deals with
the first five years of the Dawah; from 1953 through
1958. It concentrates, especially, on the works of the
first two years; 1953 & 1954. For the sake of "making
sense", it may jump from time to time all the years to
our present day. Also, it must be noticed that even
those pioneer sheikhs who were faster than others to
get the honor of joining this giant castle; some of
them were not in harmony with the Dawah and its
carriers, thus they left the Dawah during its early
days, getting relieved and relieving others, like
Sheikh Abdul-Hay Arafah – Mufti of Al-Khaleel, and
Sheikh Rajab Bayyodh Al-Tamimy. Some of them
left the Hizb in later years after the march got long
on them, getting tired of the lengthy process and
looking for comfort, like Mr. Nur-eddin Khaleel Al-
Jaa'bary, Mustafa Yakoop Al-Qaysy, Afeef Edrees
Al-Khateeb Al-Tamimy, Abdul-Raheem Jalal,
Mohammed Nae'eem Othman Al-Sharabaty, and
Farooq Mohammed Abdul-A'al. The number of all
those who left the Dawah of the pioneers was so
small that it doesn't compose a percentage, not even
a fraction of it. The majority of them kept their loyalty
to the Hizb, or kept his adoption of its ideas.
Page 44 of 224
Among those pioneers, who joined the Hizb before
others, there were numbers of school teachers,
knowledgeable scholars and Sharii judges. Also,
among them there were huge numbers of
intermediate and secondary schools' students. For
example, the current Emir of Hizb ut-Tahrir; Sheikh
Ata Abu Ar-Rashta, joined the Hizb during his
intermediate school days, where he used to live at
the refugee camp of Al-Fawwar nearby the city of Al-
Khaleel. Among the famous pioneers of the Hizb
there were the illiterate baker, the tailor, the trader,
the businessman, the army officer, the engineer, the
medicine doctor, the lawyer, the Sharii judge, the
Khateeb54, the teacher, the student, the barber, the
butcher, the truck-driver, the leather-tanner, the fruitseller,
the stone-breaker, the simple illiterate worker,
as the Hizb knocked the doors of the society with
this mixture of people that represents all the
spectrums of the society.
54 The person who delivers the Friday speech.
Page 45 of 224
It is to be noticed that workers and labors had big
influence in spreading the Dawah and gaining
support for it, as the activity of the Hizb was in no
means limited to the class of educated people,
although it had huge number of them in its ranks. It
is not an exaggeration when I say that some of the
simple workers and labors had bigger and more
important influence than his educated mates. It was
so obvious to everyone that those simple labors had
big capacity, some of whom were illiterate and used
to initialize with their fingers on their discussions with
sheikhs and scholars at study circles in mosques,
being able to silence them in Sharii, intellectual and
political discussions. This irritated some of the
sheikhs of darkness who became spiteful against the
Hizb, trying to discredit it and getting people away
from it in any means possible.
An example of this was a Dawah carrier in Al-
Khaleel; a simple elderly illiterate worker, who
couldn't read and write, called "Yaseen Mahmood Al-
Joneidy". One of the educated people wanted to
make fun of him in front of his friends, greeting him
with "Hello, o politician!!" The simple worker turned
Page 46 of 224
over to him, asking the educated school principal,
politely: "Mister, you described me as politician,
would you please tell me what is politics, please?"
The school principal shook his head, answering: "I
don't know politics, my son, neither me nor you
knows it; it has its own people." The simple worker
replied, aggressively: "No mister, don't put me in
your shoes. If you are an ignorant, I am not. Listen,
so that I teach you mister; politics is taking care of
the affairs of the Ummah internally and externally,
and I am proud to be politician in the ranks of Hizb
ut-Tahrir". The educated school principal got
silenced, as he had not anticipated this aggressive
reply.
During the election campaign in 1954, one of the
candidates in Al-Khaleel was the famous lawyer
"abdul-Khaleq hussein yaghmoor"55 who
campaigned using the slogans of Arabic nationalism
and democracy, hanging leaflets around the hall
"Ummah is the source of authorities". There was our
brother Yaseen Al-Joneidy, standing to him and
55 Abu Farooq.
Page 47 of 224
asking him: "I feel sorry for you, Mr. Abu Farooq; as
you challenge Allah and His Laws, asking to replace
Allah by people in making legislation. Did your father
send you to college to graduate as a communist,
asking people to become infidels?" At the end, the
lawyer mister couldn't stand in front of this simple
illiterate worker.
I have tens of stories of such incidents for him and
similar illiterate Shabab like him. It was a funny story
when lawyer "abdul-Khaleq yaghmoor" decided not
to allow the Shabab to ask him any questions during
one of his election speeches. When they tried
uselessly, one of the Shabab who was known with
his roughness stood up wanting to ask a question.
The lecturer asked him to wait until the lecture is
over. The brother stood in front of the lecturer's
table, not allowing him to proceed with his lecture
unless he allows him to ask. When the lecturer
couldn't handle it anymore, he allowed him to ask.
There, and because the tough brother had no
question, he pulled one of the Shabab to replace
him, saying: "Stand up and ask; Abu Ebraheem".

Episode 4
War against Classes
I must pull the attention to the fact that Hizb ut-Tahrir
has contradicted all other political and intellectual
organizations in the Islamic world, even in the whole
world, in its way to allow individuals into its ranks,
where it fought "society class differences" in its
structure, thus not limiting its Dawah to educated
persons, diploma holders, celebrities and society
leaders, whom it tried its best to call. Rather, it
worked as much as it can to allow simple persons,
laymen, workers and labors to its ranks. In various
partisan tasks and roles, it assigned different
partisan duties to its members, taking into account
Page 49 of 224
their interaction with the Dawah, regardless of their
individualities and their positions in society.
Regarding the educated people; as soon as the Hizb
was established a huge number of teachers and
students of intermediate and secondary schools
joined in, those who went to spread the word and try
to gain supporters from their schools, which irritated
General John Globe; the chief of the Arab army and
the real ruler of Jordan at that time, issuing an order
that forbids politics in schools, where the spiteful
administrator of education in Al-Khaleel; "ali hasan
odah" (see #1 below) declared himself a spiteful
enemy of the Hizb and used to leave his office to go
to hussein bin ali's high school where he used to
threaten and punish the students of Hizb in it. When
the thing got wide-spread and all the attempts and
pressures of the education inspector and school
principal "talat al-sayfy" (see #2 below) failed, they
started to transfer the teachers of the Shabab to
other areas as punishment. For example, they
transferred Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem to Al-Shobek,
Asa’ad Bayyodh to Al-Karak, Yakoop Al-Qaysy to
village “Kafr Nii'mah” in Ramallah area, Eid Hamed
Page 50 of 224
Bader to Al-Obeidiyyah in Beit-Lahem area, Mustafa
Al-Joo'bary to the village of Arab Al-Taa'amrah in
Beit-Lahem area. Also, Abdul-Qader Zalloum was
displaced to the village of Anjarah in the area of
Ajloun after being jailed and fired from his job, and
teacher Yusuf Ahmed Al-Sabateen was displaced
from the camp of Okbah Jabr to Al-Khaleel.
When king hussein married queen dina abdulhameed,
he forced all the students of Jordan to
participate in buying a gift for the prides, by
deducting 10 Fils from each student. Student
"Khaleel Ziyadeh" refused to pay that money, where
the school principal "talat al-sayfy" informed the
administrator of education about it, who in turn
conveyed the state-endangering dangerous piece of
news to the chief of region, who in turn called in the
student and uselessly tried to convince him to pay
the 10 Fils, and when he failed he issued the order
to punish the student by transferring him to study in
the schools of Beit-Lahem city.
The most famous among Islamic movements, other
than the 313, before the appearance of Hizb utPage
51 of 224
Tahrir was the movement of Al-Ekhwan Al-
Muslemoon56, which is a movement with long history
in comparison to other movements, as it was
established by Hasan Abdur-Rahman Al-Banna
(watch-fixer), may Allah SWT rest him, during early
30's of the 20th century, in Egypt. It reached Jordan
on the hands of businessman Abdul-Lateef Abu
Qoora, and to Al-Khaleel on the hands of
businessman Esa Abdul-Naby Al-Natshah. This
movement has not reached the level of political
party, rather it remained as a licensed charity,
acceptable and blessed by the rulers, especially in
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. The
establisher of the movement declared from the
beginning in the books of messages57 and the book
"Our Case"58 that they are seekers of ruling nor
change of rulers, rather he considered that a
"charge" that must be rejected!! They declared that
they are after rectifying the affairs under the umbrella
of the king who they deemed "just ruler", thus their
activity was limited in individual call, which means
56 The name means "Muslim Brothers", but it is commonly translated as
"Muslim Brotherhood".

rectify the individual, thus the family will be rectified,
thus the society will be rectified.
In Al-Khaleel59 their activities were limited to
individual call to morals and collecting money to
distribute on poor people and charity works, sports
and sportive activities, trips, scouts' teams (see #3
below), medical clinic, weekly lectures every
Thursday in the House of Ekhwan, celebrations in
Islamic anniversaries, projects to memorize The
Qura'an, and all their activities used to be carried out
in their center; the House of Al-Ekhwan Al-
Muslemoon in a leased building in Al-Shohadaa'
Street with its balcony overlooking the Bab Al-
Zawyah Street. Among their activities there were
miscellaneous studies in homes, they called Al-
Usar60. Each Usrah61 had its name, its own financial
budget and its study circles' minutes' book (see #4
below). The number of the members of each Usrah
was unlimited and may reach ten persons or more.
59 The author; Sheikh Taleb Awadallah, is from Al-Khaleel (Hebron) in
West Bank; Palestine, thus many of his memories go into depth regarding
Al-Khaleel.
60 Al-Usar: The Families.
61 Usrah: One Family.
Page 53 of 224
In forming these Usrahs, class separation was
remarkably taken into account. Each Usrah would
gather at a certain day every week on a delicious
dinner, fruits and desserts. Each Usrah is hosted by
one of its members on periodical rotation basis.
There is no certain book to be read in Usrah, all
along a certain and rigid program to memorize The
Holy Qura'an. This description of Usrah applies on it
during late 40's and early 50's, which differs from its
current shape.

in Al-Khaleel and Beit-Lahem, and ministry of
education later on. He is Azhari sheikh from the city
of Qalqeelyah. He was one of the spiteful persons
towards Hizb ut-Tahrir. He resisted the Dawah
aggressively since the beginning and he had many
stands in this regard through his job.

school in Al-Khaleel, and the cultural attaché in the

team was out brother Mr. Abdul-Qader Zalloum "Abu
Faisal", the author of "Oman and the Seven
Emirates", as he had learned military works during
his engagement in the team of "Najjadah" that was
part of the Holy Jihad against the Brits and Zionists.
#4: Some of the most famous Usrahs of Ekhwan in
Al-Khaleel were "Usrah of Mohammed" that had Mr.
Esa Abdul-Naby and Mohammed Rashad Al-Shareef
in it, and "Usrah of Othman" that had Mr. Abdul-
Qader Zalloum and some traders in it.

Episode 5
Crises that almost destroyed the Hizb
Sticking to principles62
The privilege of the leadership members; the first
halaqa63, was not only that they were cultured by the
Imam Emir, rather they used to have delicate feeling,
high culture, leadership gift, awareness of the
thoughts and ideology in general, prestige and
respect by their mates in Dawah and prior to it, thus
they were key figures before the stage of Dawah and
during it. They lost all this because they left the
Dawah. It is so regretful that the respectful sheikhs,
as they departed the Dawah, were like the fish
62 The word "principles" here indicates thoughts and ideas that are
constant and not subject to change.
63 Halaqa: ring. It indicates a study circle in the Hizb.
Page 56 of 224
departing water. Some of the major indications of
this: some of them signed on the construction of
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and they
pulled out after lengthy disagreement with the
Establisher Emir, the discussions over which took so
long and big number of Shabab and Hizb's Sheikhs,
who were in agreement with the Emir, participated in
these discussions, which concluded in no positive
results. It seemed that they never had the intention
to continue with the Dawah, for one reason or
another. The major disagreement points were:
1- Their insistence that leadership should be
collective, and not for one person. This means
that the decisions of leadership must be taken
by Shura64 and subject to voting.
2- The leadership members at that time, including
the Establisher Sheikh, were all residents of
Syria. When the restrictions and pressures
started on the Hizb and its members in Jordan,
and such actions started to spread against the
64 Shura can be roughly translated as Consultation. The word has more
delicate meaning that can be found in the Hizb's literature.
Page 57 of 224
Hizb from one country to another, the leadership
members asked for the exemption of Syria from
being subject to the Hizb's work, to be safe
haven for the leadership.
After lengthy discussions and exhausting
negotiations, they insisted on their stand. Due to the
firm rejection of the Emir Sheikh for their requests,
they pulled out of the Hizb all together, which caused
turbulence in the Hizb for very short time. This was
overcome by assigning new leadership members to
replace the ones who pulled out. May Allah rest
them and forgive them.
The Hizb, during the stage of society entrance that
started with the launch point, had faced three severe
storms that affected its march negatively. However,
the second of these storms was a destructive
tornado. Because the Hizb constructed its work on a
solid basis; the Islamic Aqeeda65, which forced its
march to be according to the Sharii methodology,
because of that, Allah SWT had protected the Hizb
65 Islamic Creed.
Page 58 of 224
and allowed it out of these storms stronger than ever
each time. These three storms were:
1- Leadership crisis: it realized in the departure of
some of the famous names of the first halaqa,
who are these sheikhs: Nimr Al-Masry, Dawod
Hamdan, Abdul-Ghaffar Katbah, Abdul-Majeed
Abu Laben, and Hashem Abu Amarah.
2- Asa’ad betrayal crisis: it realized in having Mr.
Asa’ad Bayyodh Al-Tamimy pulling out of the
elections race in favor of the government's
candidate, and not being able to stand fast in
front of the government's "stick and carrot"
policy. With his candidacy, the Hizb had
decided to challenge the state and its martial
laws, and all other classes and spectrums of
society stood by the Hizb in this challenge,
including political parties; even Communist
Party and Baa'ath Party and Arab Nationalists.
Thus, standing fast and sticking to this cause
was a matter of life and death for the Hizb and
the whole Ummah, where the state as Sheikh
Ahmed Al-Dao'or said: had inflamed the backs
Page 59 of 224
of the Ummah with its whips, on the hands of
the most criminal government lead by criminal
"sameer al-rifae'y", and in the era of the most
criminal martial governor the infamous "hasan
al-kateb" who supervised the pulling out of
Asa’ad personally. I say "betrayal" because
Asa’ad himself said it to me in person: "I have
betrayed Allah, His Rasool and the Jamaa'ah
of Muslims"66. The Emir's letter came to say:
"Asa’ad is dear to us but Islam is dearer, and
since the betrayal of Asa’ad had been proven,
it has been decided to kick him out of the
Hizb". May Allah rest you, O Abu Talat, you
were our teacher and big sheikh, one of the
pioneers in the Hizb, the companion of Abu
Ebraheem and Abu Yusuf in the Dawah and
before it, you slapped the Hizb and its
challenge in the face so badly, you let down
the Ummah that had put its hope in the Hizb
so badly, and you were awarded by "hasan alkateb"
as he had promised you with an
elegant position; the manager of the house of
66 Rasool: Messenger. Jamaa'ah: Group. The Jamaa'ah of Muslims: The
Islamic Ummah being ruled by the Khalifah (i.e. Caliph). Asa’ad here
meant that he betrayed Muslims in general.
Page 60 of 224
Muslim orphans in Al-Quds, how disgraceful
that such position characterized you as a
traitor, and it is a betrayal indeed, and the soul
is prone to evil.
﴿وَمَا ُأبَرِّئُ نَ ْ فسِي إِنَّ النَّفْسَ َلأَمَّارٌَة بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي إِنَّ رَبِّي غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ﴾ سورة يوسف
[Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the
(human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my
Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oftforgiving,
Most Merciful (53)]67 YUSUF
3- "abdul-naser" crisis, which was almost the final
straw, but Allah SWT was The One to protect
His Dawah. This crisis realized in the ability of
"abdul-naser" to inflame the sympathy of
people with his hackneyed speeches and
publicity-gainer actions, like nationalizing the
Suez Canal, high Aswan Dam, triple attack on
Gazza and Suez by England and France and
Jews, unity between Egypt and Syria68, and
his public enmity against king hussein of

Page 61 of 224
Jordan, president nuri al-sae'eed of Iraq, king
saud of Hijaz and Najd69, where all of them
were hated by people. All these incidents and
other similar ones inflamed the sympathy of
people, that "abdul-naser" reached the stage
of being called "the worshipped by people"70
that some persons reached the stage of
confusing obeying and loving him with
worshipping Allah. During these incidents, the
Hizb stood up to declare "abdul-naser" an
American agent and started to disclose his
agency and conspiracies in statements and
leaflets being distributed to the people, which
generated wide-spread hatred against the
Hizb by everyone, as the Hizb was the only
group in the Ummah that spoke up to alert the
Ummah and warn it from "abdul-naser" and his
agency to the Americans, while the Ummah
collectively, represented by laymen and
parties and establishments and organizations,

Hijaz, and eastern region that has Riyadh and Dammam is Najd.

was praising the man and describing his
heroic attributes.
The storm of "abdul-naser" lasted for long fruitless
years, where the Hizb didn't progress for an inch. On
the contrary, the crisis costed it huge numbers of its
Shabab who fell in love with "abdul-naser", thus
departed the Hizb that stood against the consensus
of the Ummah and challenged the feelings of
everyone.
This is the summary of "abdul-naser" crisis as I lived
it and felt it, and as was lived and felt by the Shabab
and Sheikhs of Dawah.
In order to explain the reason of the insistence of the
Hizb to stick to its negative stand towards "abdulnaser"
and not leaning to the aggressive wave that
was favoring him, we must refer to the book
"Partisan Massing", page 50 and following ones,
where it says:
Page 63 of 224
In this stage71 the Hizb is exposed to two dangers:
principal danger and class differential danger72. The
principle danger comes from the group's trend, and
the wish to meet its instantaneous requests. It is
caused by having the old residuals overcoming the
partisan idea. That's because when the Hizb dives
into society and contacts the public to interact with it,
and to lead it, at the same time of being equipped
with its own principle, the public has many
contradictions of old backward thoughts and inherited
things from the perished generation that
accumulated, all together with dangerous foreign
ideas and mimicking the infidel colonizers. Thus,
when the Hizb interacts with the public, providing it
with the Hizb's opinions and thoughts, working hard
to rectify its concepts, to revive the Islamic Aqeeda in
it, and to create honest atmosphere and good public
customs, through the Hizb's concepts, which requires
calling and campaigning and advertising, to gather
people around it on the basis of principle, in a way
that would strengthen the Ummah's belief in the
principle, and create trust in Hizb's concepts, and
respect and appreciation towards it, and carry the
Ummah to the status of willingness to obey and work.
Then, it's the duty of the Hizb to increase the number
of its believer and trust-worthy Shabab within the
Ummah, to stay in grasp of it, like army officers. If the
71 The stage of interaction with Ummah.
72 The principal danger is detailed above, where class differential danger
is related with the possibility that some Shabab may start to consider
themselves a better class that the rest of the Ummah.
Page 64 of 224
Hizb succeeds in this interaction stage, then it will
lead the Ummah to its wished target within the limits
of principle, ensuring that the train would never get
off tracks.
On the other hand, if the Hizb leads the public before
the completion of interaction with it and before it
creates public opinion in the Ummah, then its
leadership will not be that of the principle rulings and
ideas, rather it will be by diagnosing the feelings of
the Ummah, inflaming its sympathy and emotions,
and leading it to believe that it can acquire its wishes
soon.
However, in this case, this public will not get rid of its
initial emotions, like patriotism, nationalism and priest
spiritualism. Furthermore, collective incidents will
excite this public, such that ridiculous issues like
sectarianism and denominationalism, and old ideas
like independence and freedom, and corrupt
emotions like racist and familial ones. That's when
contradiction will occur between it and the Hizb, as it
will ask for things that do not fit into the Hizb's
principle and call for instantaneous purposes that will
harm the Ummah, also it will get so excited for these
requests and get more and more excited if they
realize, and many bad emotions will appear in it. In
such circumstances, the Hizb will be in-between two
burning options: the first is to be exposed to the
anger of Ummah, its hatred, and getting its control
Page 65 of 224
over it destroyed. The second option is to deviate
from its principle and get loose about it. Both options
are dangerous on the Hizb. Thus, it is a must for the
men of Hizb, when there is contradiction between the
public and the principle, to stick to the principle even
if they get exposed to the anger of the Ummah, as it
would be temporary anger. When they stick to their
principle and stand fast, they will regain the Ummah's
trust in them. They must be alerted not to deviate
from the principle and not to get off tracks for a single
inch, because it's the Hizb's life and the thing that
ensure its existence. To avoid such embarrassing
situations and to push away such danger, the Hizb
must work hard to irrigate the Ummah with its
principle, to keep the clarity of the Hizb's thoughts
and concepts, and to ensure the dominance of their
atmosphere on the Ummah. This would be simplified
by paying extreme care to the culturing period,
paying extra care to the collective culture, making
sure to disclose the plans of colonialism accurately,
looking over the Ummah and its interests day and
night, getting into total fusion with the principle and
Hizb, continuous exploring into the Hizb's thoughts
and concepts to remain pure, and making all kinds of
possible efforts to accomplish all this regardless of
required efforts and deeds.

Episode 6
The Stands of Previous Movements
Some of the most famous scholars and misters who
used to be in Al-Ekhwan Al-Moslemoon joined Al-
Hizb, like Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and others. This
affected the Ekhwan so negatively, that the Mr.
Hasan Al-Banna's son-in-law, Mr. Saeed Ramadhan,
came fast from Egypt. He was then the second man
in the Ekhwan of Egypt after Mr. Abdul-Hakeem
A'abdeen, the other son-in-law of Al-Banna who
used to publish the magazine called "Al-Moslemoon"
in Cairo first then in Switzerland. Mr. Saeed met
Sheikh An-Nabhany in Al-Khaleel, in the house of
Mohammed & Naser Al-Sharabati in order to
convince him to dissolve the Hizb and unit the two
Page 67 of 224
groups, in the presence of very famous Ekhwan
figures like Shokry Abu Rajab Al-Tamimy,
Mohammed Ahmed Sharabati, Esa Saleh Abdul-
Naby Al-Natsha, Abdul-Hafeth Mesbah Moswadda,
Abdul-Fattah Hasan Al-Taher Al-Mohtaseb,
Mohammed Rashad Abdul-Salam Al-Shareef, and
Abdul-Wadood Abu-Gharbiyya Al-Shaa'rawy, but the
meeting concluded in no results. I must pull the
attention to the fakeness of the story that some
books of Ekhwan tell regarding the person who
came from Egypt and that he was Seyyid Qutub. The
person was Saeed Ramadhan and not Seyyid
Qutub.
After the failure of this attempt, intellectual clash
started to take place between the Hizb and the
Ekhwan, and the Ekhwan started very aggressive
and unjust campaign against the members of the
Hizb, not even greeting them and sometimes
considering them Mortads73.
73 Mortad: apostate.
Page 68 of 224
Some authors of Ekhwan claim that Hizb ut-Tahrir
had split apart from their ranks, and this claim is
totally false. In the first Halaqa of Hizb ut-Tahrir there
was not even one single individual from Al-Ekhwan.
Although many of the first to join the Hizb in Al-
Khaleel were from Al-Ekhwan, and more from
Movement 313, and some from the Communist
Party, still Sheikh Taqi-yuddin and his companions
had nothing to do with Al-Ekhwan Al-Moslemoon
whatsoever. Also, Sheikh An-Nabhany had nothing
to do with the group of Emin Al-Husseiny, as being
hinted by some books of Ekhwan. Both claims are
classified as pure lies to achieve disgraceful goals.
It's true that Mr. Abdul-Qader Zalloum had close
friendship with Emin Al-Husseiny, as Abdul-Qader
was member in the Holy Jihad that belonged to the
group of Emin Al-Husseiny prior to his membership
in Al-Ekhwan.
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany became famous
among the people as the establisher of the Hizb, and
although many people used to attack the Hizb and
its call to establish Khilafah State, but the Sheikh
was always respected and by everyone because he
Page 69 of 224
was one of the first sincere teachers, since 1930's,
and he was an example of the excellent Muslim and
Believer in his ethics and morals and behavior, let
alone his wide and vast knowledge as a scholar and
mojtahed. Thus, his eminence was never attacked
by anyone regarding his behaviors. On the contrary,
the extremist enemies of the Hizb used to praise the
Sheikh and his taqwa and Iman. The same applies
for the second Emir of the Hizb, Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Yusuf Zalloum, the patient sheikh who is an
alumni of Al-Azhar and ex-teacher in the high school
of hussein bin ali in Al-Khaleel, the son of His
Eminence Sheikh Yusuf Zalloum, a very famous
Hafith of Qura'an, who was respected and praised by
all. The same for His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-
Dao'or in the city of Qalqeelyah in West Bank. The
love and respect of the people in his area towards
him were obviously seen when he was the only
candidate of Hizb who won in the fake elections
during the era of Tawfeeq Abu Al-Hoda's
government, as the people protected the election
boxes with weapons.
Page 70 of 224
Regarding the claim of some people that the
Establisher Sheikh used to call for Arabic
Nationalism before he established the Hizb, such
claim is totally false. When his book "The Message
of Arabs" is inspected, which was a memo presented
to the cultural conference of the arab league being
held in Alexandria, Egypt, in 08.11.1369 H,
22.08.1950 G, is can be seen clearly that he is
praising Islam and Muslims and not Arabic
Nationalism nor Arabs.74 When this is combined with
what is mentioned in page 30 of "Partisan Massing"
where he states: "Being guided to the Principle by a
person with hyper-sensitive intellect and feelings,
thus it interacts with him until it gets crystal-clear in
him and becomes clear to him, then the first cell
realizes...etc.", it can be seen that when he wrote his
book "The Message of Arabs" he was in the last
stage of the period of interaction between the hypersensitive
intellect and Principle, where he had
already been guided to its details and towards the
beginning of crystallization, and only little confusion
was left to be cleaned out so that the crystallization
74 Refer to the original text of the memo.
Page 71 of 224
becomes stable and clear with no residuals of
whatsoever. The Principle was mature in his mind at
that stage, as "The Message of Arabs" illustrates,
but it was just getting crystallized, and this
crystallization needed further trimming, and whoever
is hyper-sensitive in his search for truth is always in
nonstop search and exploration. The memo implies
that he was during that era in extreme and extensive
search and study of all other principles and periods
of cultural invasion. I don't know if Al-Shafii had an
effect on him, but I heard later on from one of the
Sheikhs that he used to like the book "Al-Moghny
Wal-Sharh Al-Kabeer" for Ebn Qodamah, and that
he intended to give it special spot within the
adoptions of the State when established. Also, the
sentence being repeated by the kids of Ekhwan of
(leave them, they will end where the Ekhwan started)
and that Shaheed Seyyid Qutub said it, this
sentence is untruthful and they made it up for cheap
propaganda, and they were alerted several times
that it's a lie.
Many of the authored books included systematic
blunt lies for evil intentions, especially regarding Hizb
Page 72 of 224
ut-Tahrir. For example, as far as I know Sheikh Al-
Dao'or had never gone to the meetings of Al-Albany.
Another lie is what was mentioned before regarding
who came from Egypt; they claim he was Seyyid
Qutub while he was Saeed Ramadhan. Such lies
can be found in the book called "Seyyid Qutub, the
Living Shaheed" for its author, called yusuf ala'them,
the Ekhwan ex-member in the Jordanian
parliament.
Also, the topic of "Unity of Islamic Movements in One
Islamic Movement" is suitable for cheap propaganda,
like the slogan "Islam is the Solution", and whoever
shouts out for such issues seeks not the face of
Allah SWT and seeks not the goodness of the
Ummah, rather he wants disturbance, useless
arguments and disputes, as history has shown us…
what's the meaning of "unity" or "uniting"? Is it
setting in conferences to negotiate on compromises?
Conferences similar to the conferences of religion
unification they hold under the sponsorship of
Vatican? Or negotiations so this side gives up a little
and that side give up a little? What a weird thing!
The Muslim who carries thoughts he believes in is
Page 73 of 224
not allowed in Islam to set and negotiate these
thoughts, give up some of the, or compromise in
order to unit with others who don't carry the same
thoughts. Otherwise, why didn't the sheikhs of the
four math'habs; Abu Hanifa, Malek, Shafii and Bin
Hanbal do that? It is well-known that evidence is
countered with evidence and proof and countered
with stronger proof, this is Islam, and anything else is
an evil word being said to achieve evil goals.
To be specific regarding Al-Ekhwan Al-Moslemoon,
as some people may wonder, other than the fact that
we all are Muslims, I must ask: what are the
common things between us? What are the closeness
and similarity between us? Are there any common
things in the intellectual domain? Absolutely nothing.
The Dawah of Hizb ut-Tahrir is concentrated on the
fact of being intellectual and political mass based on
stable intellectual foundation, which is the Principle
of Islam, and the Principle is an idea and
methodology of its same kind, and this mass works
to demolish all existing structures from bases in
order to establish on their ruins a unique structure,
and the way to do that is to create the public opinion
Page 74 of 224
through the fusion operation, which requires an open
war on every corruption, in the field of Aqeeda and
intellect and habits and traditions and systems, thus
it does not compromise nor plays the hypocrite, and
never gets involved in what contradicts its ideas,
thus never get involved in legislation in current
existing ruling systems, and doesn't believe in
gradualism, and refuses any principle that
contradicts Islam like democracy, socialism,
capitalism, and secularism; it rejects them in details
and in totality, their roots and their branches. On the
other hand, the call of Ekhwan is built on being a
group not a political mass; it's an individual call
aiming at good manners and considers this to be the
way to its target, where their chain is: rectify the
individual, and then the family gets rectified, which in
turn rectifies the society. This is the concept of
reforming movement; patching one, as they don't
target to demolish of the corrupt society rather
correcting its path while keeping it. Their reformist
steps result in keeping the corruption and not
allowing the Ummah to reach the true progress by
distracting it with empty slogans and improvised
actions, without steady methodology or unifying
Page 75 of 224
intellect, thus they engage in legislation and become
members in kafir governments as ministers ruling
with kufr, and they make cheap propaganda with
useless songs and slogans. Thus, by careful
inspection, there exist absolutely no common ground
for any intellectual closeness between the two calls,
the opposite is correct, as the two movements are in
total contrast and it's impossible to have any
intellectual closeness between them, and any
speech about the necessity of having them uniting is
nothing but fiction.

Episode 7
Detention Camps and Prisons
The desert prison of Al-Jafer, in the desert around
the town of Maa'an southern of Jordan, and it's
special for political prisoners, not ordinary ones.
Many of the Shabab of the Hizb was arrested and
sent there, like Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, Mr. Saleh
Al-Mohtaseb, Mr. Hareth Katbah, and Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Zalloum, and other pioneers in the Hizb.
The reason of mentioning the first three names
wasn't to exclude others, rather to pull attention to
their stories that I'd like to mention. The number of
Shabab who were sent to this prison is huge.
Page 77 of 224
The story of Sheikh Al-Dao'or in Al-Jafer: he was
jailed in Areeha (Jericho) city in Palestine, and then
was moved to Al-Jafer where the guardians are
members of "desert guardians" which is the most
aggressive company in the Jordanian army. It was
established and the selection of its members was
supervised by the leader of the army john globe
pasha. Its members are well-known with their
rudeness, dullness, stupidity, roughness and
extreme love to the ruling regime. When Sheikh Al-
Dao'or was sent there, the guardians were told that
he is a kafir communist despite his clothes, so that
they become tougher and ruder with him, and they
indeed became so. One day, by coincidence, one
guardian entered his cell to find him praying, after he
finished his prayer the guardian said: I see you
praying, man? The Sheikh replied in surprise: And
you want me not to pray, O man? Then the Sheikh
exploded in laughter when the guardian told him the
story, understanding why they were extra tough with
him. The Sheikh exploded in laughter when he told
me the story. The Sheikh, Ahmed Al-Dao'or, had
many stories in jail, which I will mention as much as I
can recall later on insha-Allah. May Allah SWT rest
Page 78 of 224
you and have mercy on your soul, O Abu
Mohammed, and may Him allow you to be with the
good men, you and your brothers of the Sheikhs of
Dawah.
﴿مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً﴾
سورة الأحزاب
[Among the Believers are men who have been true to their
covenant with Allah. of them some have completed their vow
(to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never
changed (their determination) in the least (23)]75 Al-Ahzab
The story of the two virtuous Sheikhs Saleh Al-
Mohtaseb and Hareth Katbah: they were jailed
together in the prison of Al-Khaleel, with many other
Shabab like Sheikh Wajeeh Al-Tamimy and Sheikh
Rabii' Barakat Al-Ash'hab. One day the infamous
Marshal ruler of Jordan, the thug hasan al-kateb
visited the prison of Al-Khaleel, and the custom in jail
that when famous governmental figure visits, jail
manager (abu saleh samarah) or his deputy (fareed
al-jeyosy: abu sameer) approaches each cell and
75 Translation of approximate meaning of verse
Page 79 of 224
says: cell number # is OK. This means that the
residents of that cell must stand up in greeting to the
ruler. The Sheikhs agreed not to stand up whatever
the consequences will be. When he reached the cell,
the guy shouted: Cell number 7 is OK. When no one
stood up, he repeated his shouting several times.
When no one responded, he stuttered and said to
the ruler: my lord; this is the cell of Tahriris76.
The fox started to play the role of an advising saint,
that's when our brother Sheikh Saleh, Abu
Maa'moon, said to him: don't you fear Allah, O man?
Don't you fear Allah, O tyrant? Until when will you
oppress the people and judge them with kufr? The
book of Allah is between us, if you were a Muslim.
That's when our brother Sheikh Hareth continued: It
seems that you don't have mirror in your home, O
man, because if you had had a mirror, you would
have seen the dust of hell on your face, O fuel of fire,
you are destined to hell insha-Allah. That's when he
issued an order to transfer both of them to spend 3
years in the desert prison of Al-Jafer, and that what
76 Tahriri: a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Page 80 of 224
happened, to go out after that with no source to
make living, thus started free works and tasted the
sorrow of life. They have from us to ask Allah to
reward them… Recall them, O brothers, don't forget
them, as they are among us full with patience and
satisfaction.
One of the stories of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, I
recall:
We were dealing with a company in Amman, its
owner is called R.S., a Christian communist, a
famous communist in Jordan, and he was prisoner in
Al-Jafer. We heard that he was released, thus we
went to visit him to congratulate him in his office.
During talking he said: do you know that I thank
Allah because I was released and let out of Al-Jafer.
We replied: everyone is so. He said: no, my situation
was different, because if I had stayed longer for
another one week, I would have had become a
Muslim…. We had in the prison a Muslim sheikh
called Sheikh Al-Dao'or, I bear witness that he isn't a
human; he is an angle of those angles people talk
about. Do you know that we used to wake up early in
Page 81 of 224
the morning to get the privilege of carrying the jug of
Wudu77 for the sheikh?
Yes, indeed, because of my close knowledge of our
Sheikh, Ahmed Al-Dao'or, I am not surprised at all
because of R.S.'s story, as he was, may Allah rest
him and please him and have mercy on his soul, one
of nowadays Sahabah78…. Don't forget them, O
brothers, recall them always and make frequent
prayer to Allah for them.
77 Wudu: the act of washing face, hands, hair surface, ears and feet
before prayer. It's a no-brainer for any Muslim to be aware of it.

Episode 8
The Works of First Phase
After establishing the first cell of the Hizb and
holding the first secretive cells, the Hizb addressed
the people in public, thus Sheikh An-Nabhany made
two khotbas79, one in Al-Masjed Al-Aqsa and the
other was in Al-Masjed Al-Ebraheemy in Al-Khaleel,
where he attacked the agent rulers; the weakling
politicians, who want to make sand bags out of the
Muslims, protecting the kafir colonialist with their
bodies. This inflamed the emotions of people and the
Hizb gained further support and new members, and
created interaction within the society and severe
struggle with other movements. Thus, forced king
79 Speech to public, similar to Friday speech.
Page 83 of 224
abdullah bin hussein, king of Jordan, to call him for a
meeting, and in the meeting there was the chief of
staff of the royal palace sheikh abdullah ghosha. In
the end of the storming meeting, the king extended
his hand to Sheikh Taqi-yuddin asking him to pledge
allegiance by saying "I pledge to be an ally of your
allies and enemy of your enemies". Sheikh Taqi did
not reply, which forced the king to repeat his
sentence three times, very nervously. That's when
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany replied: "I have
already pledged allegiance to Allah to be the ally of
His and His Messenger's allies, and be the enemy of
His and His Messenger's enemies". The king went
crazy, lost his temper, and shouted: you are a
dangerous Sheikh… throw him in jail. I recall that
sheikh ghosah interfered to convince the king not to
jail the Sheikh because he is so beloved by people
and jailing him may inflame their feelings, and so
happened. However, the Sheikh was sent few weeks
later to the desert prison of Al-Jafer upon orders of
the real ruler of Jordan and the leader of army, john
globe pasha.
Page 84 of 224
The Hizb depended on the "Ottoman Associations'
Law" dated on 29.07.1327 H 13.08.1907 G, which
was still effective in West Bank of Palestine, in
declaring the establishment of the Hizb. According to
this law, an association can be established with
declaring the intention to establish it and letting the
authorities in the region or advertising that intention
in a local newspaper. Thus, it sent to the minister of
internal affairs "informing news" through the
governor of Al-Quds, dated 02.03.1953 that the Hizb
has been established according to the effective law,
and the declaration was signed by Sheikh An-
Nabhany, Dawod Hamdan, Moneir Shoqeer, A'adel
Al-Nabulsy, and Ghanem Abdouh. Also, the Hizb
declared his intention in the same time in the weekly
newspaper of "Al-Sareeh", and opened an office in
Hindiyya building at the beginning of Nablus street in
Al-Quds, and a big banner was put on the office's
balcony in the name of "Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir".
Upon this, general john globe pasha sent a group of
police and army that closed the office and removed
the banner by force. The Hizb replaced that by
opening an office in Hindiyya building in Al-Quds and
another in Bab Al-Zawyah street in Al-Khaleel in the
Page 85 of 224
name of office of "Lawyer Dawod Hamdan", and in
Amman after than an office in Al-Salt street in the
name of office of "Engineer Shahaata Ar'ar – Abu
Safwan, and in Beirut the Hizb's office was "Al-Waie
Bookstore" due to the refusal of the memo of
"informing news" by the state, which was sent by the
Hizb in accordance with the effective Ottoman law at
that time.
The excuses of the state to refuse the declared
establishment of the Hizb were, as the minister
himself announced, who was deputy prime minister
at the same time; saeed al-mofty, because the Hizb's
establishing system states its refusal of the principle
of hereditary ruling system as being stated in the
Jordanian constitution, and because it calls for the
election of ruler. Also because the program of the
Hizb refuses nationalism to be the underlying
foundation of the state, rather it calls for the Islam to
be that foundation, which is considered as a
challenge of the legitimacy of the Jordanian regime
and violation of the constitution, and call for
segregation between citizens.
Page 86 of 224
Episode 9
Public Culturing
The Hizb depended on the halaqas being held in
homes with no limitation on the number at the
beginning, to concentrate the focused culture. After
that the halaqa of limited number started, as known
nowadays regarding its shape and organization,
where it's not allowed to eat or drink unless water.
The collective culture: the Hizb worked on teaching
in mosques, and Sheikh Abdul-Qader Zalloum was a
teacher who kept giving lessons in Seerah in Al-
Ebraheemy mosque. Also, speeches used to be
delivered immediately after asr and Friday prayers in
Al-Aqsa mosque in Al-Quds and Al-Ebraheemy
mosque in Al-Khaleel, circulating among sheikhs
Page 87 of 224
Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyodh, Rajab
Bayyodh, Abdul-Sameei' Al-Rifai'y Al-Masry and
others. Those study circles used to be targeted to
cause disturbance, especially by the darkness-lovers
of sufi movements' sheikhs, where they deliberately
used to hold their zikr circles at the same location to
cause disturbance, especially when the person
delivering the speech was Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum. In Amman, the same was done after Asr
prayer in the big Husseiny Mosque. Also, the Hizb
was targeting the weddings, public meetings and all
possible social occasions to spread its Dawah. The
struggle was fierce with other parties, specially the
communist part and baa'ath party, where the pivot of
discussions was to prove that Allah exists and
making fun of their communist, socialist, patriotic and
nationalist ideas. When defeated in discussions, they
used to curse and swear at the Shabab. The city of
Khaleel was hometown of some of their international
leaders like Dawod Abdul-Afow Sinnoqrot, Nimr Al-
Hmood, Khadhr Al-Hmood, Fakhry Asa’ad Maraqa,
Lawyer Awny Sabry Al-Nather, Abdul-Jabbar Al-
Sayyory, Mokhles Amro, Ezz-eddin Merar, Dr.
Ahmed Mohammed Hamza Al-Natsha…etc.
Page 88 of 224
Due to the increasing interest in the Hizb and its
audience, and because of the fierce intellectual
struggle that caused big bang and extreme
interaction in the society, with flood of new recruits,
the government issued a law on 25.01.1955 that
bans delivering speeches and teachings in mosques
without getting permit from the official authorities.
This law was called "Law of Preachment and
Guidance and Khotba and Teaching in Mosques for
the Year 1955", and punishments of jails and fines
were imposed on any violators of this law, thus His
Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or attacked that law
in one of his khotbas in Al-Ebraheemy mosque,
making the analogy between that law and the law of
selling Khamr80 in bars, and when the committee of
ruler's sheikhs approved the law, so-called "Islamic
scholarly committee" upon the order of john globe
pasha, Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum attacked the
idea of having clergymen in Islamic life, and he also
attacked the uniform that distinguish the scholars, in
an inflammatory khotba in Al-Ebraheemy mosque,
80 Alcoholic drinks: banned by Islam.
Page 89 of 224
where he said: "If it weren't for the fact that Hizb ut-
Tahrir doesn't believe in partial issues, I would have
taken this turban off and stepped on it with my feet,
despising it and whoever wears it" - the Sheikh then
and since his graduation from Al-Azhar used to wear
the scholarly uniform of turban and jubbah. This was
surprising because the Sheikh was famous with his
patience and cold nerve, but his excitement was so
extreme during that khotba, and that was the only
time I see him that excited. The Hizb challenged the
government by delivering khotbas after the law
became legal, and some of the Shabab were jailed
after that for this reason, among them Mr. Abdullah
Abu Zakyah and others. Sometimes the prayers
used to protect the Shabab who deliver the khotbas
as happened to Ahmed Bayyaa'a who was protect
by the prayers against the security apparatus inside
the mosque and got him out of mosque and town,
and that took place when he delivered the statement
of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Al-Ebraheemy mosque for the
occasion of the visit of Rome's Pope to Al-Quds and
Jordan. The Hizb made up for that with Friday
khotbas that was delivered by Sheikh Hamed Abdul-
Ghaffar Tahboob in Al-Qazzazeen mosque in AlPage
90 of 224
Khaleel, where the sheikh was a teacher in the
schools of education and assigned Imam for that
mosque by the awqaf, and after that by Friday's
khotbas by Sheikh Wajeeh Al-Khateeb Al-Tamimy in
Al-Ebraheemy mosque and Sheikh Jameel Al-
Khateeb Al-Kanany in Al-Aqsa mosque. In this
occasion, I mention the sheikhs of evil; members of
so-called "islamic scholarly committee", who obeyed
general john globe and disobeyed Allah SWT, those
evil persons who feared john globe and didn't fear
Allah SWT, signing on the law with their names
without being ashamed.
This unjust law # 1 for year 1955 that was approved
by the parliament and committee's members of by
their letter number 3145 dated 16.05.1374 H
10.02.1955 G, addressed to judge of judges, who
were:
1- abdullah ghosah – president of committee
2- hamza al-arabi – manager of shariite
3- nadeem al-mallah – member of islamic affairs
counsel
4- hilmi al-mohtaseb – sharii judge of Al-Quds
Page 91 of 224
5- abdul-hay arafa – mufti of Al-Khaleel
6- mash'hor al-dhamen barakat
7- yusuf tahboob
8- a'adel abdul-salam al-shareef – fatwa
secretary – Al-Quds.
And in his letter to the parliament, the mufti of
Jordan, abdullah al-qalqeely, dated 23.04.1374 H
and 17.01.1955 G, approved the law.
And in an undated letter the law was supported by
the president of Al-Khaleel municipality and the
famous english agent, mohammed ali al-jaa'bary. In
his letter dated 02.05.1374 H 26.01.1955 G sheikh
abdul-hameed al-saae'h supported the law, who was
the president of sharii appeal court, and chairman of
Palestinian parliament later on. In his letter dated
28.04.1374 H 22.01.1955 G the law was supported
by the member of sharii appeal court sheikh othman
al-shanqeety. In a letter dated 30.04.1374 H
25.01.1955 G the list of hypocrites had a new
member with his letter supporting the law; member
of sharii appeal court mohammed fal al-baydhawy alshanqeety.
Another evil name joined the list of
Page 92 of 224
hypocrites with his letter 03.05.1374 H 27.01.1955,
the general inspector of sharii courts, sheikh hilmi aledreesy.
I say: If you see the scholars entering the
sultan's door, then despise them as they are traitors,
and never entrust them for your religion, never. In his
comment on the law, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or
mentioned in his khotba in Al-Ebraheemy mosque in
Al-Khaleel saying: They want to give us permit to
order the good and forbid the evil, similar to the
permit of khamr. Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, as
mentioned before, said in one of his khotbas in the
same mosque: If it weren't for the fact that Hizb ut-
Tahrir doesn't believe in partial issues, I would have
taken this turban off and stepped on it with my feet,
despising it and whoever wears it.
As Prophet Mohammed SAW told us that the scholar
who doesn't work in accordance to his knowledge
will be punished before idol worshippers.

Episode 10
The Struggle with Rulers
After being released from Al-Jafer prison, Sheikh
Taqi-yuddin left Jordan to stay temporarily in Syria,
then he moved to Lebanon. The Shabab used to
travel to Damascus, then to Beirut so that he
personally supervises them in condensed halaqas,
especially in the book of "Partisan Massing" and the
book of "Concepts of Hizb ut-Tahrir". The persons
who didn't travel, or couldn't travel, they were given
the halaqas on the hands of Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum, and when he left to Baghdad the task was
done by Sheikh Ezz-eddin Al-Khateeb (the judge of
judges in Jordan nowadays), Sheikh Ahmed Al-
Dao'or, Sheikh Abdul-Qader Zalloum, Wajeeh AlPage
94 of 224
Khateeb, Emin Shannar, Nitham Hussein, Ghanem
Abdouh, and others.
In the year 1954 the Hizb published his weekly
newspaper "Ar-Rayah"81 which had its Chief of
Editing Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and
Secretary of Editing Moneer Shoqeir, and it used to
be published every Tuesday, in a totally different
shape when compared to all other newspapers, as it
had no ads or pictures, and it used to spread the
thoughts of Hizb and expose the plots of colonialism.
The newspaper attacked the idea of clergymen in
Islam and their distinguished uniform in analogy to
the men of priesthood and their uniforms. It also
attacked the so-called "islamic scholarly committee"
mentioned in episode 9. This led to its closure after
14 weeks. Then the Hizb rented the weekend edition
of the Lebanese newspaper "Hadharah"82 to replace
Ar-Rayah for sometime. Also, many of the Shabab
were able to write in many newspapers in Jordan,
Egypt and Lebanon.

Regarding the political leaflets; they were distributed
in a struggling manner; hand to hand, at one certain
time all over Jordanian cities, and the instruction in
the first leaflet was that whoever is caught while
distributing the leaflets should confess that the
source if Mr. Tawfeeq Es'haq Abu Khalaf. In the
second leaflet the instruction was to indicate Ahmed
Mesk as the source, for all locations. When Ahmed
Mesk was sentence to 1 year in jail, the instructions
for subsequent leaflets were to indicate names
unknown by the intelligence apparatus, like "Taleb
Awadallah" or "Shaker Fadhlallah". Once in 1958 the
leaflet was sent by mail to the authority people in Al-
Khaleel, causing raids on the homes and stores of
the Shabab, and when the same leaflet was found at
some locations, the Shabab were arrested and
tortured by severe beating in a stable, like what
happened to Khaled Ahmed Ahmaroo and Hatem
Mesbah Naser-eddin, on the hands of the
intelligence sergeant "mohammed majja" and later
they were sentenced to 2 years in jail. The
intelligence arrested many other Shabab and
interrogated them, like Abdul-Qader Zalloum, Eid
Hamed Bader, Naser Ahmed Al-Sharabaty, Hatem
Page 96 of 224
Naser Al-Sharabaty, Yakoop Shaker Al-Sharabaty,
Yunus Hamadah Quneiby, Zoheir Abdul-Qader
Maraqah (substitute of missing)83, Khaleel Ziyadah,
Emin Hasan Al-Honeiny, Saleh Abdul-Salam al-
Mohtaseb, Salmy Borhom, Afeef Edrees Al-Khateeb,
Mohammed Badawy Al-Natshah – the poet, Abdul-
Salam Mesbah Naser-eddin. They were sent to court
in front of supervisor of Khaleel; mahmood hindawy,
who sentenced all of them to compulsory residence
and all were obliged to prove their existence for 1
year, according to the law of crime prevention.
During one monthly session in one of the houses in
the old city of Al-Khaleel in the summer of 1959,
there were about 40 Shabab, the majority of whom
escaped by jumping on the roofs of neighboring
houses when the police and intelligence raided the
place, headed by the city police station officer
mohammed saleem, abu a'adel. This happened one
83 It's funny to mention that our brother Sheikh Zoheir Maraqah (Chief of
Clans in Palestine nowadays) was not at that time in the Hizb yet, and
when police came to arrest his brother, Jibreel, and couldn't find him as he
had left to Germany to join university there, they arrested his brother
Zoheir instead, and that was a policy adopted by the Jordanian
intelligence apparatus, and people used to make fun of it, saying "that
person was arrested as a substitute of a missing". Translator: this
comment was written by the author at the end of the episode, and I
thought it's better to have it as a footnote.
Page 97 of 224
year later and 7 of the Shabab, who were arrested,
were sent to court in front of the thug hasan al-kateb,
marshal ruler at the time, among them: Wajeeh Al-
Khateeb Al-Tamimy, Naser Ahmed Al-Sharabaty,
Yakoop Es'haq Al-Honeiny, Abdul-Qader Al-Kafrawy,
Yaseen Al-Joneidy. They were sentences for 1 year
of compulsory residence with the necessity to visit
the police station 4 times a day and never leave
home during night. During the interrogation session
before court, intelligence sergeant al-hosany in the
police station in Al-Khaleel, in the street of Bab Al-
Zawyah, threatened the elderly man Yaseen Al-
Joneidy to rape him if he doesn't cooperate, which
our brother used to criticize them and inflame the
feelings of people against those thugs, getting to the
balcony of the police station which overlooks the
area of taxi cars, calling the people and asking for
their help: Help O Muslims, the government wants to
rape me, which inflamed the people so much.
Few months later some of the Shabab, around 10,
were arrested for the charge of membership in Hizb
ut-Tahrir, among them: Wajeeh Edrees Al-Khateeb
Al-Tamimy, Rabeei' Barakat Al-Ash'hab, Hatem
Page 98 of 224
Naser Al-Sharabaty, Yakoop Shaker Al-Sharabaty,
Badawy Mohammed Badawy Al-Sharabaty,
Mohammed Badawy Al-Natshah; the poet, Hareth
Abdullah Katbah, Saleh Abdul-Salam Al-Mohtaseb.
The incident that took place when the thug hasan alkateb
visited the prison and how the Shabab refused
to stand for him, and what our brothers Hareth
Katbah and Saleh Al-Mohtaseb said to him was
mentioned in episode 9. That's when hasan al-kateb
started to curse and swear at the Hizb, accusing it
with agency to americans and international
communism at the same time. The same happened
in court, when these two brothers challenged the
judge and that he is ruling with kufr and will be
destined to hell if he doesn't repent and assist Islam
and become an enemy of the kafir regime instead of
his service to the kufr and tyranny, which made the
judge loose his temper cursing at them and the Hizb
and accusing them with agency to america and
communists. Our brothers Saleh Al-Mohtaseb and
Hareth Katbah were sentenced to 1 year in desert
prison of Al-Jafer, and the rest to compulsory
residence with 2 visits to police stations every day
for 1 year.
Page 99 of 224
For the same reason other Shabab were arrested
later on, and they were asked to declare the
innocence of the Hizb, I recall of them: Rabeei'
Barakat Al-Ash'hab, Mohammed Al-Sharabaty, Emin
Hasan Al-Honeiny, Mohammed Badawy Al-Natshah
- the poet. Later, the assigned member of parliament
ismail hijazy (minister of agriculture later on)
interfered to convince them to declare their
innocence of the Hizb to get out of prison, which
made Mohammed Badawy to criticize him severely
and kick him out calling him a soldier of Satan.
Due to the increased pressure on the Shabab of
Hizb, especially the teachers in governmental
schools, being chased and arrested and fired, big
number of the Shabab left the region to work in the
field of teaching in the gulf countries like Abdul-
Qader Zalloum and Emin Al-Honeiny, who were
chased from Qatar to Emirates to Bahrain by
members of other groups; they were chased at the
regimes by informing against them that they are
members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, thus once they got
settled in one country, soon they were kicked out of
Page 100 of 224
it, and so on elsewhere. The chase extended to the
students of Hizb who were studying in the
universities in Al-Hijaz, by the same groups; may
Allah forgive them and guide them to the correct
path.
The policy of "Shaking the tree to get rid of useless
objects"84 that was implemented by Sheikh Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany resulted many times in getting
rid of big numbers of Shabab who were not in
harmony with the Dawah, so the struggling leaflets
and other partisan works that all the Shabab were
asked to do including employees, served for that
purpose. This resulted in many arrests and courts for
the Shabab, and not everyone was able to handle
that. Some of them acted in response to the
pressures of government and declared innocence of
the Hizb in local newspaper and left the Hizb. Some
of them refrained from doing the instructions
because of fear, thus left the Dawah. It's well known
that that policy of "tree shaking" has comforted the
Hizb of serious number of Shabab, including some
هز الشجرة لإسقاط النفل عنها 84
Page 101 of 224
famous and pioneer ones, who were not of the same
kind of the Dawah; not in harmony with it, like Sheikh
Rajab Bayyodh Al-Tamimy, Skeikh Abdul-Hay Arafa,
Sheikh Ezz-eddin Al-Khateeb Al-Tamimy, the later
one because of his violation when he accepted a gift
from prime minister wasfy al-tal, a personal pistol.
Also, Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat for his violation
when he sent solicitation to king hussein from jail
accompanied by a poem of hypocrisy to the royal
family called "You guided us to the way" as he was
sentenced for 3 years in the prison of Erbed, thus
Sheikh Taqi issued the decision to kick him out of
the Hizb for that reason, and the regime rewarded
him by assigning him a minister of awqaf. The "tree
shaking" with Sheikh Ezz-eddin was that the Emir of
the Hizb asked him to return the pistol to wasfy al-tal
as a rejection not as an apology, and when Ezzeddin,
Abu Nader, feared to do that, he was kicked
out of the Hizb, where he was rewarded by the
regime with elite positions, including minister, until
he got into his current position of "judge of judges".
I'd like to mention, at the same time, that many left or
was kicked out of the Hizb as a result of that policy,
but big number too left the Hizb because the road
Page 102 of 224
seemed to long to them, some out of boredom, and
some looked to comfortable life away from prisons
and harassments of regime. Such individuals
remained loyal to the Hizb, supporting its ideas. It's
worth-mentioning that no one worth-mentioning has
left the Hizb due to an intellectual disagreement or
methodology disagreement or details regarding the
road except those mentioned under the topic of
"leadership ordeal" and some persons who wanted
to reach the target fast through materialistic work.
The plan of the Hizb was to use the dome of
parliament as a stand to spread Dawah, thus it
entered the election battle for Jordanian parliament
during the time of the government of "tawfeeq abu
al-hoda" the year 1954, where Sheikh Abdul-
Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyodh and Abdul-
Ghaffar Katbah were named as candidates for Al-
Khaleel, Dawod Hamdan for Al-Quds, Ahmed Al-
Dao'or for Toolkarem, Mohammed Mosa Abdul-Hady
for Jenin, and Ghanem Abdouh for Amman.
Because of the blunt falsification, only Sheikh Al-
Dao'or won because his town people protected the
elections boxes with weapons. IN the elections of
Page 103 of 224
1956, Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad
Bayyoudh and Yusuf Al-Zogheir were named for Al-
Khaleel, Fares Edrees for Al-Quds, Mohammed
Mosa Abdul-Hady for Jenin, Ghanem Abdouh for
Amman, and Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat for
Erbed. For the same reason only Sheikh Al-Dao'or
won.
After that Ali Fahkr-eddin was named as candidate
for Beirut and Othman Safiyyah for Tarablus85 in
Lebanon, and neither won. The Hizb repeated that in
1964 by naming Sheikh Yusuf Baa'darany, Abu
Rabeei', and he didn't win too… Sheikh Yusuf
Baa'darany currently resides in Beirut. He recently
authored many unique and edge-cutting books in
various fields, like "Family is a Castle Shielded by
Allah and His Messenger" - Part 1: "The Wife with
her Husband", Part 2: "The Son with his Father and
Mother", "Hijacking the World; an American Plan",
"The Europeans' Hatred of Islam; a Conspiracy in its
Second Millennium", "Christianity: a Roman
Conspiracy against Humanity", "The Black Hole in
85 Tripoli.
Page 104 of 224
the Western Intellectuality"...etc. May Allah protect
our Sheikh Yusuf and reward him the best of
rewards86.

Episode 11
A Stop with Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or and the
Jordanian Parliament
Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, Abu Muhammed, was the
candidate of the Hizb in the elections of 1956 for a
seat of "Toolkarem", where the Hizb nominated
Dawod Hamdan for Al-Quds, Ghanem Abdouh for
Amman, Mohammed Moosa Abdul-Hady for Jenin,
Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat for Erbed, Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyoudh and Abdul-Ghaffar
Katbah for Al-Khaleel. Sheikh Ahmed was the only
one to make it, where the people of Toolkarem and
Qalqeelyah87 guarded the election boxes with
87 Two cities in West Bank, Palestine.
Page 106 of 224
weapons, thus not allowing the state to manipulate
the elections as it did everywhere else. This cycle
was called: tawfeeq abu-hoda false election cycle.
The elections that followed was in 1958 where the
Hizb nominated Fares Edrees for Al-Quds, Ghanem
Abdouh for Amman, Ahmed Al-Dao'or for Toolkarem,
Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum, Asa’ad Bayyoudh and
Yusuf Al-Sagheer for Al-Khaleel. Only Sheikh Al-
Dao'or won. Five of the leaders of Al-Ekhwan won:
Muhammed Abdul-Rahman Khaleefah – director
general of Ekhwan in Jordan, Abdul-Baqy Jammo in
Zarqa, Mash'hoor Al-Dhamen Barakat in Nablus,
Yusuf Al-Athem in Maa'an, Dr. Hafeth Abdul-Naby in
Al-Khaleel. The matter of fact is that their presence
in the parliament wasn't any different from the
presence of any marginal member. He was, may
Allah rest him, the only one not to agree on any draft
law to be handled by the parliament. Also, he was,
may Allah rest him, the only one not to vote in favor
of any government. Also, he was the only one not to
participate in any commission of the parliament.
When the votes were cast, in favor or against the
government of suleyman al-nabulsy, he won the trust
of 59 members -including all 5 members of EkhwanPage
107 of 224
and the only one to cast his vote against al-nabulsy
was our Sheikh, Ahmed Al-Dao'or, who started his
speech as follows: (I put this statement of mine in
your hands to expose the transparent cover that
hides the colonialist nature of this government). After
that martial law government came, virtually headed
by ebraheem hashem, while the real ruler was the
blood-sucking thug, sameer al-rifai'y. This time,
Sheikh Al-Dao'or was threatened with a gun in his
head88, but again he voted against this thug's
government, he was the only one to vote against it.
This time, he started his speech as follows: (My
brothers, this government, the government of
ebraheem hashem, rather the government of sameer
al-rifai'y, and after it inflamed the back of this
Ummah with its wipes, had been rude enough to
come and beg you your trust, as the poet said:
yesterday he kept torturing people, and today he
plays doctor…) here all the ministers and members
withdrew from the session and didn't allow him to
88 To emphasize the issue: When Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or made it clear
that he would not vote in favor of that government, one of the
government's bastards put a gun in his head and had his finger on the
trigger, threatening Sheikh Ahmed to pull the trigger if he doesn't change
his mind. Fearlessly; having already sold himself to Allah, Sheikh Ahmed
refused to change his mind. At the end of the day, he was the only one to
vote against the government.
Page 108 of 224
continue, but the speech was printed and distributed
later on. During the partial elections for Al-Khaleel
seat, Sheikh Ahmed tried to interfere to relieve some
of the pressures imposed on Asa’ad Bayyoudh to
force him to withdraw, but he wasn't allowed to
continue his journey to Al-Khaleel. After the betrayal
of Asa’ad Bayyoudh and his withdrawal in favor of
the candidate of agent ismail hijazy's government,
the state had the courage to jail him while he was
member of parliament, and he was sentenced by a
martial court to three years in the desert jail of Al-
Jafer, despite his parliamentary immunity, which was
taken off him with the approval of all other members
of parliament, including the 5 members of Ekhwan,
except Wasef Anabtawy, member of Nablus, who
was the only man in the parliament. The majority of
the Sheikh's declarations and statements were
printed and distributed to people, the most famous of
which is (Refutation of Civil Law).
The Sheikh, and out of my personal contacts with
him, was brilliant in intellect, vast in knowledge,
strong, challenging, outspoken, one of the Mojahids
during the Jihad era in Palestine. Until his recent
Page 109 of 224
years I used to visit him in his house in Amman, Al-
Lowaibdah Mountain, to complete my education on
his hands, which I started in the 1950's when he was
member of parliament. Thus, I am proud of being
one of his students, may Allah rest him, have mercy
on his soul, and allow him to the paradise, insha-
Allah.
Before that government, there was the government
of agent suleyman al-nabulsy, who got the trust of all
members of parliament, including Ekhwan ones,
except Sheikh Al-Dao'or. He started he speech as
follows: (The government of suleyman al-nabulsy
has come to this parliament with its declaration, thus
becoming like previous ones in its reality;
deliberately rejecting Islam and allying with the
colonialists, but it increased the dosage of its political
faking and extreme cheating. As I stand up to
discuss this declaration to illustrate some dangers it
has and to expose the transparent cover it has on its
face to hide the nature of colonialism and cover for
its manipulations with implicit expressions…etc). In a
previous session, he responded to the declaration of
sae'eed al-mofty's government, who had charkas
Page 110 of 224
origins; His Eminence addressed sae'eed al-mofty
saying: (the declaration calls for arab nationalism,
while the prime minister is charkas whose fathers
and grandfathers escaped from their countries to
protect their religion, so what arab nationalism are
you calling for?) criticizing nationalism harshly with
other statements.
One of the ironies that were witnessed in the
parliament was regarding the law of joint-stock
companies, where the Sheikh explained why those
companies are invalid and rejected by Islam due to
their conditions that contradict partnership conditions
in Islam. He also emphasized that it's big sin to force
people to establish such companies. His speech was
interrupted by lawyer Mohammed Abdul-Rahman
Khaleefah, director general of Ekhwan in Jordan,
who was surprised how his colleague Al-Dao'or says
it’s haram89 while Prophet Muhammed SAW had
established similar one with his wife Khadeejah, may
Allah be pleased with her!! It was so funny and tragic
at the same time, as I cannot imagine Mr. Khaleefah,
89 Forbidden in Islam
Page 111 of 224
a lawyer and director general of Ekhwan, being
unaware of the big difference between joint-stock
(mosaahamah) company and entrepreneur
(modhaarabah) company, like the one between
Prophet Muhammed SAW and his wife Khadeejah.
Rather, his objection was for an intention he had in
his mind, apparently accomplished later on. How
petty it is for some people to unjust themselves and
how petty it is for someone to place himself as a rock
in the face of a call to adhere to the rules of Islam.
For those who don't know the men of that period:
sameer al-rifai'y, father of abdul-muni'em al-rifai'y:
permanent representative of Jordan in the united
nations, and a prime minister later on, was one of
the most blood-sucking thugs and criminals in
Jordan, and most devoted to his english masters. He
was also brutal in his treatment with people, that he
declared every teacher who won't get back to work
fired when teachers went on strike, in 1956 as I
recall, forcing them to cease their strike. One of the
sayings people used to say during his governments
implies the bad conditions they used to live:
(sameer's year has no wheat, no malt, and no
Page 112 of 224
water), and it was noticed that during this thug's
years the conditions used to become severe; no rain
and no food…etc. It's to be mentioned that the
Establisher Sheikh used to pray to Allah not to take
sameer's soul until the Khilafah State is established,
so he burns from the inside. Thus, ebraheem
hashem was prime minister in name, and sameer
was the one in reality. Ebraheem hashem, on the
other hand, was one of the infamous students of
general globe pasha, a devoted servant to the
english, but he was as criminal as sameer. He
became prime minister during the time of king
abdullah bin hussein, then king hussein bin talal.
When the arab union was established between
Jordan and Iraq, as a response to the unity between
Egypt and Syria, ebraheem hashem was appointed
prime minister of the union, maybe because he was
too old. And when the coup of abdul-kareem qasem
took place in Iraq, 14 July 1958, against the royal
family, the people looked after the heads of
corruption and agents, killed them and dragged them
along the streets, among whom there was king
faisal, his crown prince abdul-ilah, the majority of
men and women of criminal royal family, and bloodPage
113 of 224
sucking thug prime minister nuri al-sae'eed, the
creator of the idea of Baghdad alliance, who was
hiding in woman's clothes. Also, among them there
was ebraheem hashem, may Allah have no mercy
on any of them. That ministry came immediately
after the era of fake luxury and pre-fabricated
freedoms of the government of the perished
suleyman al-nabulsy. This suleyman al-nabulsy alpasha
was an infamous agent of the english, but he
used to hide with abdul-haleem al-nimr behind the
curtain of patriotism. They established the
constitutional patriot party and had (al-meethaq)
newspaper, which was accustomed to slander His
Eminence Sheikh An-Nabhany. During his
government he lifted all pressures and allowed
people to do and say what they want, to expose the
parties and men. Thus, during his period, the
secretive parties got relaxed, like the communist
party and al-baa'ath party and arab nationalists. As
they got exposed, and after suleyman's government
was gone, the intelligence apparatus faced no
trouble during the martial law government in
arresting and jailing everyone, thus prisons got overcrowded
in an unbelievable manner, and tyranny
Page 114 of 224
reached extreme levels against all society's
spectrums.
Al-pasha is the master of the reckless journalist;
hashem al-saba', editor of (al-sareeh) weekly
newspaper, which al-pasha used to use indirectly to
attack Hizb ut-Tahrir and disgrace Sheikh Taqiyuddin
An-Nabhany. Through this newspaper they
released their rumors, like getting a check in the
amount of $50,000 from the American embassy in
Beirut, a Cadillac car and beautiful secretary…etc
and so on of cheap lies with no purpose but
downgrading the Hizb and its men. It's to be noticed
that such campaigns got the Hizb new members,
who weren't aware of the Hizb before. It's shameful
that individuals of Ekhwan got with the current and
exposed their inner hatred towards the Dawah by
repeating the lies and rumors of these campaigns
wherever they went. We wish them guidance from
Allah. The jewish israeli (sarah amram) disclosed
later on in her book (an israeli woman in the
hashemite kingdom of jordan) that she was working,
before getting back to Al-Quds with the aid of
Page 115 of 224
international inspectors, as a secretary to al-pasha
and al-sareeh newspaper.
The words and statements of Sheikh Ahmed in the
parliament used to be printed in booklets with the
Hizb's unique cover page and distributed to people.
Also, all statements and declarations and speeches
in the parliament by and among members used to be
printed periodically in the official newspaper.
Regarding the election fights that followed the
nominations; these fights caused tough interactions
and struggles with other movement and parties that
participated in the elections, where the Shabab used
the opportunity of election campaigning to spread
the ideas of Hizb among the people, and the struggle
exceeded the intellectual level to hand fights
sometimes, as the Shabab were met in some
villages and districts with stones not to allow them to
enter to campaign. Some individuals of the village in
beyt amr, around Al-Khaleel, had stood against His
Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and his
friend Naser Al-Sharabaty90, and they managed to
90 His son; Hatem Naser Al-Sharabaty, has a website (www.sharabati.org)
where he has put a B&W picture of Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty.
Page 116 of 224
get the kids to stone their car not to allow them to
enter the village, and they got what they wanted as
the Sheikh and his friend went back. Later on, one of
the heads of the village (y.a'.) who did that dirty job,
used to express his deep regrets for what he had
done and how he was paid to do that against the
Hizb's candidate by the candidate of constitutional
patriot party (al-pasha's party) member sae'eed alezzah.
Sometimes attacks against the meetings the
Shabab used to hold were conducted in the districts
and neighborhoods. And in order to paralyze the
activity of the Hizb and not to allow its men to reach
the parliament, there were suspicious coalitions
between some movements and the government and
its candidates. Our Shabab had faced, and are still
facing the torture by rulers and harms by people,
they were chased and fired from their jobs, but they
never leaned in front of a tyrant and they never
bowed to anyone but Allah; whoever stood fast of
them of course, and those are so few, while many of
them dropped out and failed when the tree was
shaken, or during the ordeal of sticking to principle.
Thus, the ones who remained in the Dawah and the
giant brilliant kind of individuals, those who resemble
Page 117 of 224
the Companions of Prophet Muhammed SAW and
the students of Esa bin Mariam, peace by upon both
of them.
Explanation
In the session of Jordanian parliament that was held
to take the decision of expelling their colleague,
member Ahmed Al-Dao'or, where all members
approved the decision to expel Sheikh Ahmed
except member Anabtawy of Nablus, including the 5
members of Ekhwan. There is no problem in
mentioning this incident, rather it must be mentioned
and declared, and not saying this is simply hiding
facts and history faking and contradictory to saying
Haq in an outspoken manner. The members of
Ekhwan who agreed to expel their colleague Skeikh
Ahmed Al-Dao'or, the member of Toolkarem, are:
Lawyer muhammed abdul-rahman khaleefah:
director general of ekhwan in Jordan, sheikh abdulbaqy
jammo: member of ekhwan for Al-Zarqa area,
mr. yusuf al-athem: member of ekhwan for Maa'an
Page 118 of 224
area, and the owner of (Al-Aqsa schools) in Amman,
sheikh mash'hoor al-dhamen barakat: member of
ekhwan for Nablus area, dr. hafeth abdul-naby alnatsheh:
member of ekhwan for Al-Khaleel:
president of association of patient friends in Al-
Khaleel nowadays.

Episode 12
Regarding “Shaking the Tree to get rid of
Useless Objects”
Our respectful Sheikhs have made sure, especially
the Establisher Sheikh, may Allah rest him, to gain
sound and strong members to the Hizb, such that
they can be considered as ‘true pregnancy. He used
to hate to have persons whose maturity is not
certain, thus describing them as ‘false pregnancy’.
The argument of the Sheikhs has always been:
having huge number of Shabab must be consistent
with the reality that the new comers have joined with
steady and sound persuasion and belief, not
because of wild emotions. The danger of having new
joiners because of wild emotions is a proven danger.
Page 120 of 224
Sheikh Abu Yusuf used to state (behind closed
doors) that the wildly emotional new comers would
not last long. This assessment attracted my
attention, regarding some of the most excited new
comers, thus I asked him: How is it consistent with
their huge activities? He laughed and answered:
When the fire is caught by dry sticks, it spreads fast
and creates eye-catching brightness. However, it
soon goes away and vanishes. While, when the fire
is caught by wet sticks, it spreads out so slowly, but
hardly goes away. This is the difference between the
intellect-based gaining and emotion-based gaining;
we want Shabab who are convinced intellectually not
emotionally, as the second type cannot be entrusted
in harsh times. Useless objects on any tree will not
improve, thus they will drop off sooner or later, so
instead of waiting for a wind to throw them away, we
can shake the tree a little bit to get rid of those
useless objects, thus keeping the useful objects
only. Distributing leaflets in a challenging manner
may lead to prison, or losing job, thus whoever isn’t
mature intellectually, or whoever hasn’t reached the
total conviction in the obligation of Dawah and the
obligation of its tiny details, such individuals will
Page 121 of 224
refrain from the distribution, thus will dismiss
themselves from the Hizb, getting relieved and
relieving others. If the Hizb doesn’t conduct the
operation of tree-shaking, such individuals will
remain as if they were part of the Dawah, and we will
get very disappointed if we need them during harsh
times; since they will leave anyways, the sooner the
better.
As a result of this policy, which used to be
implemented whenever the number of new joiners
increases, many useless objects fell down who
would have otherwise be considered as part of the
Dawah. It is funny that all those who were assessed
to be emotional individuals by Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
had fallen and left the Dawah quietly. The majority of
them entered from one door and exited from the
other, leaving no fingerprints whatsoever. Others fell
after harsh tree-shaking operations and severe tests,
like Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat, who was tested
with imprisonment and couldn’t handle it, and Sheikh
Ezz-eddin Al-Khateeb, who was tested with career
and couldn’t handle it; everyone who had and have
fallen has left unique story, but the most important
Page 122 of 224
thing: this all happened as a result of the policy of
(shake the tree to get rid of useless objects).
Page 123 of 224
Episode 13
Launch Point
The Hizb, during the phase of culturing, was
engaged in the processes of halaqa establishment
and contacting people to discuss with them the ideas
of Dawah and to get them into halaqas. During this
phase, the high emotions of the Shabab were
apparent, as the effects of culturing efforts were
realized in further development of halaqas and
creation of public opinion. The conduct of the Hizb’s
instruments and Shabab regarding debates,
discussions and halaqas was so distinguishable, and
used to give virtual big image regarding the
Shabab’s number, which lead people to think that
Page 124 of 224
they are much more than reality. The Dawah so
soon realized in individual and was felt by people,
and the Hizb started to hope for the society to carry
the Dawah with it, thus lessons in mosques and
lectures were wide-spread… and there was the first
conflict with authorities. At that moment, the Hizb felt
it’s necessary to address the people, thus it started
that in 1954 with the release of the leaflet of (Launch
Point). That’s when the Hizb moved from the phase
of culturing to the attempt to address the Ummah in
a very natural way. It became a necessity to start
issuing statements and leaflets, and fabricate
methods to address general public in the name of
the Hizb. Thus, it tried to issue a partisan
newspaper, but its attempts started to stumble
because leaflets require incidents to happen first,
while the whole region was silent and almost in a
state of comma during 1954 and first part of 1955.
That’s why the Hizb issued the leaflet of (Political
Mobilization) so that wilayah91 and mahalliyyah92
91 Wilayah is the second class in the Hizb's administrative law. It's similar
to Province. Examples are the Wilayah of Jordan, Wilayah of Egypt,
Wilayah of Kuwait, Wilayah or Iraq…etc. Of course, the first class is the
collection of all Wilayahs: Majal (i.e. domain) of Hizb's work.
92 Mahalliyyah is the third class in the Hizb's administrative law. It's similar
to District or Locality. Each Wilayah is subdivided into many Mahalliyyahs.
Page 125 of 224
commissions start to prepare general ideas that
would enable the Shabab to address the public and
the individuals. However, a turn point took place just
after that leaflet was issued: political incidents
started to occur continuously: Johnson project,
speech of John Foster Dallas - US secretary of state
back then, regarding the resolution of Palestine
issue, Egypt’s purchase of soviet weapons,
agreements between Egypt and Syria, and between
Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Thus, the Hizb started to
issue political leaflets continuously as the incidents
kept occurring and as the conflict between the brits
and americans erupted, and jamal abdul-naser93
played the American role so soundly and delicately,
while nuri al-sae’eed94 and the hashemites95 played
the english role. Some maneuvering started to take
place by the english, as king hussein pretended to
be with abdul-naser then tried to hit him in the back,
and there was the “nationalization of Suez canal’s
company” followed by the triple attack against abdulnaser,
which all together, in general and details,
93 In Egypt
94 In Iraq
95 In Jordan
Page 126 of 224
became good material for the Hizb, allowing it to
continue issuing political leaflets and statements.
This made the leaflet of “political mobilization”
irrelevant and the necessity to implement it
vanished. Also, in addition to leaflets, the “Weekly
Commentary” was added, which continued for one
whole year, thus it became in permanent contact
with the people to deliver the ideas to them. This
lead to stronger conflict with the authorities, and a
strong conflict with the people started to take place,
which hindered the public culturing efforts hugely,
until it ceased all together. The actions continued as
leaflets, halaqas, contacts and debates strongly. As
soon as the year 1957 ended, the Hizb found itself
looking forward to starting to knock on the society’s
door. This magnificent march kept the emotions high
and the enthusiasm strong in the Shabab, and
people started to look forward to the weekly
commentary without patience, even if they disagree
with it totally, which means that it started to interact
with the Ummah. The conflict with people and other
ideas became stronger, where the opinions of the
Hizb were dominant. People who sympathize with
the Hizb and those who hate it, all together, started
Page 127 of 224
to ask on continuous basis about the Hizb’s political
opinions regarding the incidents taking place. Thus,
the Shabab started to find new things and get new
knowledge and gain new experiences, which created
magnificent political awareness at many of them,
and they started to feel the path towards becoming
in charge and ruling. People started to see the
practical and effective capability in the Hizb to take
over, and they started to think of it as potential ruling
authority. Thus, sensitivity was required in order to
strike the relationships. Thus, the Hizb took the
decision in November 1957 to conduct a general
experiment, using a very strong means in a very
ordinary leaflet, and the Hizb insisted on the means
strongly. This lead to wide-spread failure in all the
domain of Hizb’s work, and tens fell as a result of
this experiment, while hundreds showed explicit
incompetence. This meant that the body of the Hizb
cannot handle striking the relationships in a non-stop
manner; in other words: it didn’t have the current
capability to knock on the society’s door. This
happened because the transition to this period was
unnatural. The Hizb continued issuing political
statements and commentaries, and mobilization
Page 128 of 224
leaflets. It started to determine the places of work
and types of work, and implemented “shaking the
tree to get rid of useless objects” policy in a severe
way in order to cleans the Hizb of “honorary
members”, in order to create real soundness in the
body of the Hizb, so that it transits naturally into the
period of knocking the society’s door. Until the year
of 1958 came, that’s when unity between Egypt and
Syria happened, then Lebanon’s revolution, and
finally the Iraqi takeover in 14 July 1958. The
emotional wave in the region turned into
hallucination and the atmosphere was so insane.
This was like a nightmare for the Hizb, as people got
what they wanted and people stopped listening to
the Hizb, and none of the intellectuals was interested
in discussing any idea or opinion of the Hizb. This
was a very tough exam for the faith of Shabab in
their idea and methodology, thus in their Hizb. Thus,
the faith of many got shaken and very big number of
the Shabab left the Hizb; more than 75% of them.
Suspicion in the Hizb’s political opinions became
wide-spread among the Shabab who remained in the
Hizb and who believed in the Hizb and its
methodology. The campaign against the Hizb got
Page 129 of 224
into severe limits, especially after great actions were
accomplished on the hands of individuals who the
Hizb had labeled as agents, like jamal abdul-naser,
the ruler of Egypt. However, this hasn’t stopped the
Hizb for one moment, while he kept walking on its
same spot in February 1958, in other words; the
Hizb was doing actions but with no obvious effects at
all, not even on its own Shabab. However, its march
didn’t allow a relapse; it made the Hizb keeps
working, nothing more and nothing less. Because its
march in the society was similar to someone rowing
against tidal waves; he will go in a reverse direction
if he stops rowing. All the Shabab started to fear
people, and all people started to mistrust and accuse
the Hizb, and many parents were blamed by people
because their kids are in the Hizb. Despite all this,
the Hizb kept working strongly and without boredom,
as if there is nothing wrong; the Shabab kept doing
the partisan tasks in this dark era: they were beaten
and insulted and harmed, even on the hands of the
weakest and most naïve people, but they kept their
faith strong in spite of having suspicion in their
hearts towards the Hizb’s political opinions, and
towards the ways and means it implements. This

was like jewelry to the body of the Hizb, where the
faith of believers became sound and stable,
regardless of anything. Then, the general political
atmosphere got relaxed and the insane emotional
hallucination ceased, thus it became necessary to
start knocking the society’s door, thus the Shabab
looked forward to become in charge and to rule
despite the frozen nature of society. That’s when
people started to feel the Hizb’s danger against the
rulers, especially the rulers that they liked very
much. That’s why the Hizb started to knock the
society’s door to strike the relationships deliberately,
and started to fabricate various ways and means to
hit these relationships, by statements and
mobilization leaflets and assigning contact duties,
and it kept going on with issuing political leaflets and
commentaries. The stop of external pressures and
having local agents totally busy in solidifying their
powers helped the Hizb out in doing this, which
enabled it to continue hitting the relationships, nonstop,
without ceasing its following of political affairs
through leaflets and other means. It could do the job
whenever easily because of the richness of local
incidents, which are the material of hitting the
Page 131 of 224
relationships. Thus, as soon as the year 1960
started, the Hizb found it had already concluded the
initiation of knocking on the society's door, and it
became actively knocking now. Thus, it entered the
phase of interaction naturally, which had obvious
effect as the aggressiveness of people against the
Hizb became light, thus the Hizb found supporters in
the society, and people started to cease harming
and insulting the Shabab of the Hizb in a clear
manner, thus it became a necessity for the Hizb to
try to lead the people and make them work with it,
until their work with it becomes natural. Here, the
deeds of 1958 started to repeat again, in other
words; the Hizb kept issuing various leaflets,
clashing with rulers, hitting public relationships, in
addition to the works of localities, and that was the
sum of deeds of the interaction phase.
These were the deeds of the interaction phase to
which the Hizb shifted in the year of 1960. But while
it moved to the second phase and interacted with the
Ummah successfully, it couldn't succeed in
initializing the attempt to take the leadership of the
Ummah, thus its Shabab stayed in atmosphere of
Page 132 of 224
1958, which lead to relaxation in their enthusiasm
and they were overcome by boredom and inactivity
and relaxation, and they couldn't understand the
details the Hizb is doing, although they were
witnessing the improvement in the personality of the
Hizb in a sharp manner, and feeling the change in
people's opinions towards the Hizb, and seeing the
apparent increase in rulers' pressures on the Hizb,
but all this changed too little regarding their stand in
1958. That's why, and although the Hizb became in
the same class as rulers and governments, it didn't
succeed in its attempt to take the leadership of the
Ummah. Many of them couldn't feel or touch that the
Hizb is moving forward with giant steps, as it was
apparent that the Hizb:
1- Following the incidents and giving opinions
regarding them,
2- Facing the deeds taking place in the society,
3- Aggressively watching the deeds of rulers and
hitting them harshly,
4- Motivating its Shabab to contact media organs
like magazines and newspapers to publish
articles in them,
Page 133 of 224
5- And motivating the Shabab to contact
intellectuals and elite persons to discuss
issues with them and give them intellectual
messages.
All this indicated that the Hizb is moving forward,
passing long distances with giant steps, and
achieving results. It also indicated that it passed the
stage of establishment of early halaqas to become in
the row of rulers and government in the year of
1960, after extremely exhausting efforts. This also
indicated that it adhered to the methodology that is
outlined in the Seerah96 of the Messenger
Muhammed SAW, as detailed in its books and
discussions, without any deviation in the concepts or
the outlined methodology at all. The path and
methodology of the Hizb is outlined in its book
"Partisan Massing", and when it was at the end of its
attempt to address the Ummah, it issued the leaflet
of "Entrance to Society" explaining in it how to enter
the society, and how the state is established and the
power is shifted. Also, the Hizb issued a "Q&A"
96 The seerah of anyone is the life story of him. This word is usually used
for Prophet Muhammed SAW to indicate the days of revelation of Islam.
Page 134 of 224
explaining in it where the power really is and how it
can be acquired. It's intuitive that after the interaction
phase there comes the ruling phase, thus the
transition from the phase of interaction to the phase
of ruling must be imminent and natural, exactly as
what happened when the transition from culturing
phase to launch point or attempt to address public
took place, and as what happened when transition
from addressing attempt to interaction phase took
place. That's why it reached the conclusion that
hitting the relationships in a nonstop manner must be
accompanied by attempt to take the leadership of
the Ummah. Thus, and as soon as it entered the
interaction phase, issued a generalization dated
28.10.1379 H – 23.04.1960 G where it highlighted
that the Hizb had become in the phase of interaction,
and that in this phase (it is must for the Hizb to
accompany the hitting of relationships with attempt
to take the leadership of Ummah) and warning that
(if the Hizb kept hitting the relationships and didn't try
to take the leadership of people, then it will freeze
and relapse will occur even if all its instruments and
Shabab do the job with no exemption).
Page 135 of 224
Important Dates
1372 H – 1953 G: declaration of establishment of
Hizb ut-Tahrir.
1373 H – 1954 G: Issuing the (Launch Point) leaflet
and attempt to address the Ummah.
1374 H – 1955 G: Issuing the (Political Mobilization)
leaflet to all wilayahs, then leaflet of (Johnson
Project), then leaflet of (Speech of John Foster
Dallas), then the leaflet of (Soviet Weapons).
1375 H – 1956 G: Leaflet of (Weekly Commentary),
which lasted for one year.
1376 H – 1957 G: Ways to knock on society's door –
Launch Point.

prevented by union of Egypt and Syria, revolution in
Lebanon, and coup in Iraq on 14.07.1958 G.
1379 H – 1960 G: Knocking the society's door and
transition to second phase – interaction phase, and a
generalization was issued (generalization of
28.10.1379 H – 22.04.1960 G).
1383 H – 1964 G: Pivot Point: establishment of
state.
Accordingly:
Page 136 of 224
– The first mobilization leaflet was (Leaflet of
Political Mobilization),
– The first political leaflet distributed to the
Ummah was (Exposing Johnson's Project) in
1955 G – 1374 H.
– From 1964 G on, we are still in the Pivot Point
and getting ourselves ready to reach the third
phase; ruling, insha-Allah.
It is to be noticed that all my memories are done
without referring to any documents, as I don't have
them with me, but they should be very close to
reality.
The first interest that was adopted by the Hizb was
the visit of pope of vatican to Al-Quds in the years of
1960s – I don't recall the year exactly – where the
Hizb exposed the real target of that visit, which was
making Al-Quds an international affair, and the Hizb
decided to foil this american plot by all means. One
of the deeds of this interest was the attempt of the
church to buy Hindiyyah building at the beginning of
Nablus Street, which overheads Bab Al-Amood, in
order to demolish it and construct a statue for the
Page 137 of 224
Pope there. The Hizb contacted Hindiyyah family,
which in turn refused to sell the building despite the
huge offer. Also, when the perished king of Karak97 –
hussein bin talal– conspired with crusaders to make
Al-Quds an international affair, he gave the pope a
gift, a whole mountain in the strategic area of
E'eezariyyah, one of the districts of Al-Quds, to
construct a huge church, the Hizb started to instigate
the landlords to foil the royal-papal gift, and there
was nothing to stop the plot but having a mosque in
the location. Thus, the Hizb brought good number of
workers and constructors and they started
immediately in the construction of a very small
mosque at the top of the location. In the morning,
and it was Friday, the mosque was ready, and it was
announced as a mosque, and all the Hizb’s Shabab
flooded from all cities, bringing people with them, for
the opening of the new mosque and having the first
Friday prayer in it. This foiled the evil king’s plot to
present the land to the pope. The mountain
mentioned is where the industrial Islamic school of
orphans’ house today.

Episode 14
The Killer Nightmare
It was mentioned in (The System of Islam) that:
Carrying the Dawah requires that the absolute
sovereignty is for the Islamic Principle, regardless of
the approval or disapproval of people, the
consistency or inconsistency with people's habits,
acceptance of rejection of people; the Dawah carrier
must never compromise nor get along with people
on the cost of his principle, must never care about
their habits or traditions, their acceptance or
rejection. Rather, he must always stick to principle
and state it fearlessly… the Messenger of Allah SAW
Page 139 of 224
came to the world with his message in a challenging
and outspoken manner, believing in the absolute
Haq that he calls for, challenging the whole world
with it, declaring war on all people with no
consideration of habits or traditions or religions or
creeds or rulers or public, he cared about nothing but
the message of Islam, as he was the one to be
offensive against Quraysh98 mentioning their gods
and criticizing them, and challenged them in their
beliefs and deemed them ridiculous… so the Dawah
carrier must be, outspoken and challenging of
everything: challenges the habits, traditions, sick
ideas, false concepts, even challenging the public
opinion if it's wrong, even if this opinion rejects him,
even he is forced to challenge habits and traditions
and religions, even if he is exposed to the ignorance
and fanaticism of the people who like the corruption
they live in. Carrying Dawah requires the assurance
of implementing the rulings of Islam in totality and in
complete, and not getting relaxed about anything
even if so minute. The Dawah carrier never accept
compromise or easiness or delay or selling out his
98 The big clan in Makkah that was dominant at the time of revelation, and
to which the prophet himself belonged.
Page 140 of 224
principles, rather he takes the whole affair into his
hands and resolve it in a decisive manner, fast, and
accepts no negotiations over the Haq…etc.
How similar today is to yesterday; despite the public
awareness that has been created in the Ummah due
to the activity of Dawah carrying and deliberate
deeds that were required by the stage of creation of
public opinion that comes from public awareness, in
order to create the melting & molding operation that
is effective in making the transition from the pivot
point to ruling takeover and establishment of the
Khilafah, the fardh of all fardhs, and despite the
public awareness on the thoughts of Islam and
international status, and the consciousness in
analyzing political events, which has been created
by political mobilization and exhausting and serious
efforts, yes, despite all this, it can be seen that
people may tend from time to time to emotional
thinking, instantaneous results, achievement of tiny
details, love of slogans, and making excuses out of
wishes and hopes that are dictated by certain stages
with unique events.
Page 141 of 224
This nightmare that occurs from time to time
prophesizes lack of patience, thoughts being taken
over by emotions, indicates how much people are
stuck to meaningless slogans and hopes that are
never guaranteed. This leads to the stand out of
superficial thinking and childish tendencies by some
groups in the Ummah, all together with double
loyalties. An example of this is the late elections of
the evil palestinian legislative counsel; parliament,
and what was done by a group of people who were
totally convinced that participation in such elections
in forbidden in Islam, still they voted with the excuse
that electing the good is better than having the
corrupt winning, and is less harmful. Some of them
started to look for slogans, like (Islam is the
solution), although they were convinced that those
who carry this slogan don't mean it for real. Also,
communism found sympathizers due to the call to
end the hunger of people... thus shining slogans
filled in the thirst of people to Islam.
In the shadow of this nightmare, and let's call it
(nightmare of superficiality and slogans) there arises
another nightmare of a new type, which occurs with
Page 142 of 224
Islamist-pretenders who are using Islam for their own
interests and to achieve their own personal goals
and fake standout. That's when their path to achieve
their evil goals crashes with awareness of public and
work of Dawah carriers who direct people towards
consciousness and not to be cheated by noisy
slogans, corrupt stands, and empty wishes. Thus, a
current of the nightmare of misguided fatwas
surfaces, hand to hand with well-prefabricated
aggression against the Dawah carriers and their
Hizb, thus accusing the Hizb of being kafir and
misguided, its adopted ideas are downgraded and
labeled with kufr by disgusting prefabricated fawtas
that are made up by those who have no taqwa at all,
and those with academic titles, long beards, turbans,
and clergymen clothes.
During such nightmare, the Dawah carriers cannot
be occupied with responding to those corrupt
criticizers, and we should not consider those whom
Allah has misguided their intentions as enemies and
go into debates with them in media organs and
forums, rather we should pray to Allah to guide them
and discuss issues with them with easiness as much
Page 143 of 224
as we can, thus we don't attack them, don't insult
them, never swear at them, and never treat them
with the cheap and low intellectual level they have
decided to adopt, as the wish of those people and
whoever is behind them is to get us into the swamp
of insults and slanders, which will deviate the
Shabab from their task of Dawah carrying to a lower
level, and the Shabab are not allowed by any means
to descend to such level, or be deviated by people
from being fully occupied with their principle in order
to conduct intellectual boxing matches in stinky and
disgusting intellectual swamps, which if anyone
enters he will need to be cleansed. It's dangerous
too to try to defend the Hizb and its ideas, or accept
to have the Hizb in the defensive position of
accused.
But we must pay attention that in light of this
nightmare some misguided fatwas will stand out, and
some corrupt ideas may be labeled as Islamic while
Islam has nothing to do with them. There may be
manipulation of divine texts and in a deliberate
manner to make a point or defeat the other side, to
achieve a personal goal or get certain interest. In
Page 144 of 224
front of such corrupt interpretation of divine texts, it's
the duty of Dawah carriers to explain to the people
the corrupt reality of those ideas, and show everyone
the low level of fatwas of evil scholars, with
evidences and disciplined discussions, without
getting into insults, slanders, personal attacks, or
attacks against movements that did this corruption
by name. Discussions and debates should never
indicate any defensiveness at all. Extreme attention
must be paid not to place the Dawah in a defensive
position of someone accused with a crime.
Regarding this detail, ignorance and misjudgments
must be avoided. For example, some people started
to say (someone who sits cannot give fatwa to
someone who fights) implying that the Shabab are
sitters. Also, statements about fighting the
aggressive enemy, again implying that the Shabab
are non-fighters99. This was a reaction to the
99 It is an irony to see some Muslims accusing the Shabab of Hizb of
being sitters, while the west and its organs are accusing the Hizb of being
conveyor belt of terrorism. It is a clear indication that when you are on the
correct and righteous path, no one will be happy with you and bankrupt
minds will start to make all kinds of baseless accusations, no matter what.
This solidify what the Hizb has stated, regarding not caring about what
others want, like, desire, wish, or accustomed to. Rather, the Shabab's
whole attention should be concentrated on the Dawah itself and carrying
its ideas and concepts. Bankrupt minds cannot understand that a carrier
of such Dawah cannot be a carrier of anything else, whether corrupt
Page 145 of 224
campaign of Shabab to alert people that participation
in elections is haram. In such situation, the meaning
of (sitting) must be explained to people, where it
means those who don't get engaged in the work to
establish the Khilafah State; the fardh of fardhs.
Also, it must be explain what it means to have a
sitter giving fatwa to a fighter, what are the various
types of jihad, what is the ruling of fighting an
aggressive enemy, what is the reality of occupation
in Palestine, and does the definition of aggressive
enemy applies or not. It's naïve to think of this as
defensive acts; we never defend, it's declaration of
Haq in an outspoken and challenging manner, and
it's required in Islam; not doing it is forbidden
manipulation of Allah's rulings. The Dawah carriers
must say the Haq in such situations, fearing no one
but Allah.
To be self defeated, which is intolerable for Dawah
carriers, is to get along with those giving misguided
fatwas, whether in talk or act, thinking that this is
better not to cause turbulence. Such behavior would
fatwas or violent ideologies. But the Shabab do understand that, and that
what matters.
Page 146 of 224
cause the Shabab to deviate from stating the Haq in
explicit manner to start to compromise. This means
that we have taken our Dawah to the darkness of
nightmares, with fear excuses, turning to the status
of silent Satans, which is intolerable for the Shabab
by any means.

Episode 15
A Stop with Sheikh Yusuf Baa'darany100
In the year 1964 the Hizb nominated Sheikh Yusuf
Baa’darany, Abu Rabee', for Beirut district, in the
Lebanese parliamentary elections. But he didn't win,
as we mentioned in episode 10. Our Sheikh has
recently authored many books, like "Hijacking the
World, an American Plan", "The Europeans' Hatred
of Islam, a Conspiracy in its Second Millennium",
"Christianity, a Roman Conspiracy against
Humanity"… and many others101. From his home in
Beirut, Sheikh Yusuf has been following our
100 I have been informed that Sheikh Yusuf Baa’darany intends to launch
a 1st class web-based thinktank in the near future. I sincerely hope his
effort succeeds where others have failed.
101 See episode 10.
Page 148 of 224
episodes of "The Beloveds by Allah", and he has
been generous to send me the following letter that
makes us feel proud, as it's a letter from one of the
giant beloveds by Allah who carried the Dawah for
year without boredom with the establisher Sheikhs,
may Allah rest them, and still it. This Sheikh, who
has kept his promise to Allah, is still waiting for
Allah's promise and near establishment of Khilafah
State, insha-Allah, under the Emirship of our Sheikh
and Emir Ata bin Khaleel, may Allah protect and
safeguard him. His letter was as follows:
Dear Brother Awadallah,
Assalamo Alaikom Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh,
I am glad to read this documentation of history that is
necessary for us and the coming generations. I
thank Allah that He is using someone up to this
mission to fulfill it. May Allah reward you the best on
behalf of this Ummah. Regarding your praises, I ask
Allah to write that as good deed foe me with your
prayers, still I feel ashamed to keep silent towards it
during my life span, as I am so scared that if I keep
Page 149 of 224
silent that it would be counted as a bas deed for me,
as if I wished for fame or praise. Whenever a man
starts to shot me with his praise arrows, I keep my
distance from him until he stops, so that they are not
counted in my bad deeds' balance, insha-Allah, and I
ask Allah to accept his prayers' praises if I am up to
His mercy, or try to distract him. I cannot allow
myself to claim knowledge while I know who I am,
totally with no power and strength, except what Allah
has provided mw with. And I bear witness to Allah
that I still consider myself the most ignorant among
people, and because I am fully aware of my
ignorance in this regard, I tend to escape from
anyone who I learn to be more ignorant than myself,
not to become more ignorant. However, you insist on
foiling my plan of trying to keep my good deeds for
the Day of Judgment by keeping to praising me in a
manner that I cannot keep silent against. Do you
want to keep those good deeds away from me in the
Day of Judgment? As whoever wants to get famous
with his knowledge/deeds, then he gets the reward
of that in this life. Do you see me one of those, O my
dear brother? You know that the self gets happy and
arrogant when praised, and that the mind gets
Page 150 of 224
relaxed with it, thus please pray for me that I never
get into the trap of self-acceptance.
Being scared of claims and their bad consequences
in this life and the hereafter makes me breathless at
many situations that you may expect to be ruled by
the foundations on understanding and not by
understanding alone, which is the ability that Allah
gave to all people. Allah has blessed the believers
with the foundations of understanding all through
ages, but He only blessed us to get to know how to
discipline those foundations, as part of what Allah
has blessed us with through that Faqeeh Genuine
Genius that words and titles get small when we want
to list his characteristics, thus I suffice with pointing
at him as he used to like me to call him "Abu
Ebraheem", Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany, may Allah
have mercy on him, a mercy that would cover all his
students and march companions, to recall them and
live by them. Without adhering to those foundations,
do you think I would have known any of what I know
in this age? Thus, your praise is misplaced, as the
one who deserves that is that man who Allah had
blessed to determine the culture of progress for
Page 151 of 224
Muslims and determine the foundations to
understand all things that relate to the march
towards progress, parts of which are political
intellect, methodology to know the facts of history,
truth balance in the intellect of life, knowledge to
differentiate or link the intellect of war and intellect or
commerce, how to adhere to research facts,
precision in reference linkage, be alerted to the type
of news in its subject, and similar things that the
would have been impossible for the Ummah to reach
with collective or individual efforts, regardless of the
degree of sincerity and knowledge of a person, as it
cannot be complete as the Messenger SAW has left
to us, unless Allah SWT uses for this mission one
man that He gifts with the knowledge to re-determine
the culture of Islam and re-weld the link between
Islam and its methodology. This knowledge is the
mother of any knowledge that any genius or
intellectual among us would use to progress and lift
this Ummah from its current status.
Since you are the history man among us, and hoping
to have steady communication with you, I will reveal
a little secret to you about my early days, to see how
Page 152 of 224
easy it was for me to be lead by Islam, and to see
that it was a mere bless of Allah. I was 14 years old
when I started to know political parties in high
school, and within 1.5 years I entered and exited all
important parties at that time lie communist party,
syrian nationalist party, arab nationalists' movement,
and real all the written intellectual literature they had.
I loved to read very mush at that time, especially the
Islamic and European histories, through its famous
novels, until a man invited me to a talk about the
history of Muslims. I tried to excuse myself, but he
kept assuring me that the man isn't naïve and that, O
Yusuf, you'll be happy with his talk, because I know
how much you like history, and I cannot go without
you, as I will only listen. This young man was one of
my best friends in schools, and it was difficult for
someone like him to be close to any one. Thus, Allah
got me to accept to go, without even knowing the
guy's name.
We reached the building where the meeting will take
place, and it was in a street I am used to go to
because my relatives and sister are there, and it's
today in front of the house of Hariry in Beirut. He
Page 153 of 224
started talking and I listened for over one hour with
no discussion at all, because I didn't want to go deep
into what he said, as I had already got bored with
speeches and deem them chatter and I reached the
conclusion that there is no necessity to discuss
anything to find the truth. There is no talkative bigger
that the ignorant or someone calling to falsehood.
That's why I couldn't stay in any of the parties that hit
the mind of Muslims in the back. We used to know
the value of proof, but not the proof or evidence that
I was missing in all the parties' books I read and
refused, rather my huge refusal was to the topic
being represented by the corrupt communist,
socialist or nationalist thoughts. Myself hated their
intellectual arguments, not their evidence but the
topic of their evidence, and I used to see their
sayings after months or meeting with them, reading
their books and listening to their explanations, I used
to see their sayings as intellectual dirt, and their
evidence as if they sink into realistic dirt. I couldn't
find a dimension in a party's culture without, at the
end, necessitating from you to die after exiting Islam.
That point was the disagreement point in my
discussion with them, and there were a lot of
Page 154 of 224
attempts to convince me that I can be syrian social
nationalist and remain a Muslim! Or be socialist and
Muslim! Or be arab nationalist and Muslim!
In the first session I wanted to explore the final
dimension of the intellectual argument. The brother
talked about the heroics of Muslims and about the
way to belief. I asked him about those heroics and
what use is there in talking about them and we are
not of them, we want our own heroics not the heroics
of others, and I don't consider recalling them useful
to us. We want to know their path to heroism, not
their stories. After the talk about way to belief, I said
that I pray, thanks Allah, but I don't see that prayer
changes anything in the status of loss the Ummah is
witnessing. The brother replied: first things first, do
you see any cheating in my saying? I answered: Not
at all, it's the best I hear in my life, but not the thing
to save. He said: correct, but the talk didn't finish,
and if we take the issue as serious as we should, it's
a talk that would last for the entire life because it's
the way of life for a believer, that's why I hope to
meet again next week. His request to meet again
made me pause, as it indicated the seriousness of
Page 155 of 224
these arguments, and I accepted it immediately.
During the first session, we were four as I recall, and
I was alone in the second session. At the end of
session I realized that the topic in which evidence is
brought and the case upon which proof is set is the
topic of life, which is the case of human; the topic
and case that I had been looking for for 2 years. I
adhered to the topic and case as our teachers, who
are big in mind and self, taught us to adhere, as if we
are inserting our teeth in the. I got disconnected with
the person, who had supervised my initial culturing
for long years, and I met him about 20 years ago,
and there he was: an atheist, may Allah guard us. I
never cared about his news since then! The second
man who had supervised my culturing left the Dawah
to live naively for years before he died! My
continuous supplication for myself and to my
brothers in good deed: O Allah, guide us to obey
you, and help us to adhere to your obedience, allow
us to live in it, and take our souls while living in it,
and resurrect us on it, O Allah.
My eyes get full with tears when I recall the tens who
have left us while we are incapable of finishing the
Page 156 of 224
job, alone. I envy those who passed us, passing
away on the belief, and there are many all thanks to
Allah, and we may mention their attributes one day if
the occasion arises.
All thanks to Allah that he enables us to talk and
consult regarding His guidance and the work to
establish His rules in accordance with His pleasure. I
don't forget to beg and pray to Allah that he makes in
the strength of believers the sufficient power to get
victory to His religion over His enemies, and that He
makes us victorious from where we manage our
affairs and from where He manages the affairs of
this world.
Your brother,
Yusuf
May Allah be our witness, our dear Sheikh, that we
never meant to decrease your good deeds with your
place in our hearts, as reward decreases if praise is
Page 157 of 224
sought, while we are only recalling the march of
goodness and righteousness, and cry like you those
great Sheikhs who left us without reaching out
destination yet, and we praise what you said: My
eyes get full with tears when I recall the tens who
have left us while we are incapable of finishing the
job, alone. I envy those who preceded us, passing
away on the sound belief, and there were many, all
thanks to Allah, and we may mention their attributes
one day if the occasion arises. May Allah reward
you, our Sheikh Yusuf, and we wish you the health
and rewards and good life, and that you and we see
the scene of establishment of Islamic Khilafah State,
and insha-Allah you will get the heaven of paradise
from Allah, and all our His-beloved Dawah carriers.

Episode 16
Agents and Tumble Stones
When the two agents "suleyman al-nabulsy & abdulhaleem
al-nimr" established the arab socialist party,
that part published the newspaper of "al-meethaq",
which attached Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany and
accused him of getting $50,000-check from the
american embassy in Beirut. After that, the weekly
newspaper "al-sareeh"102 owned by reckless agent
"hashem al-sabii'"; one of the famous cheap
servants of agent suleyman al-nabulsy, started to be
published. The most famous writer and interview
102 A weekly newspaper, used to be published on Saturdays in the 1950's
and used to implement the cheap rude way of slanders and insults to
attract publicity and fame among its low-level readers.
Page 159 of 224
maker in that newspaper was the israeli jew "sarah
emram", using the Russian Christian nickname
"catrina alexandropha"103 and she had very intimate
and suspicious friendships with finance minister
suleyman al-nabulsy, minister of internal affairs falah
al-madad'hah, general globe pasha, big number of
jordan's famous ministers and army officers.
Directed by its owner and sponsor, agent suleyman
al-nabulsy, and by secretive coordination its main
writer, sarah emram, that newspaper started to
attack the Sheikh and publish lie and rumors about
him, like getting a Cadillac gift from the americans,
the above-mentioned check, beautiful secretary and
other stupid rubbish that was believed by naïve and
ridiculous laymen and evil people, repeating this
rubbish to label the Hizb with agency to americans,
which found acceptance by other parties and
movements that wanted to exploit the opportunity to
downgrade the Hizb, and alike them intelligence
agents and authority servants raced to publish those
rumors and lies about the Hizb. As an example,
there was dinner invitation at a leading person's
103 Sarah emram, an israeli female in the Hashemite kingdom of jordan,
first edition, 1979, Al-Nahdha Publishing House, Al-Nasrah.
Page 160 of 224
house, and among the invited people there was the
region commander nizar al-mefleh and intelligence
chief moneer noor. During the meal, some
individuals talked about what al-sareeh newspaper
published regarding Sheikh An-Nabhany getting
$50,000-check from the american ambassador. The
region commander directed his words to Mr. Naser
Al-Sharabaty104, asking to make fun of him: how
much was your share? Newspaper at those days
were publishing that jordan was getting its first
financial aids from the american, in the amount of
$20,000. Thus, Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty replied:
as a jordanian ruled by king hussein, I got today
$20,000. The man couldn't reply and stopped eating.
One of the weird things was having the following of
Ekhwan to get along with these lies, that one of them
wrote down a couple of poems attacking the Hizb
and the Sheikh, depending on the lies of al-sareeh
newspaper and believing in them, even supporting
them with his impolite and totally rude poems, which
nothing can be sillier and more ridiculous than them
other than the poet himself. After I put some
104 Mentioned in episode 11.
Page 161 of 224
quotations from those poems here, I felt ashamed
and recalled my beloved Sheikh and Emir, I even felt
ashamed of Allah SWT, of whom the poet hadn't felt
ashamed at all, thus I deleted them, throwing them
back into where they belong; trash can. May Allah
not blame us for the deeds of naïve individuals living
among us… surely they are not of us, even if they
had long beards and short dish'dashah105, claiming
their movement to be Islamic… it's even possible for
those people full with hatred to come close to that
Giant Sheikh, Re-newer of Islamic Thought in the
20th century, Companion of Prophets and
Messengers and Companions and Shaheeds in
Paradise insha-Allah… This is not strange for those
people who have devoted themselves to serve Satan
and attacking the Hizb and serve their masters and
be agents of the infidels, and the proofs of this are
too many to count. Like when the Hizb issued the
book "Hot Call to Muslims" in 1962, they found in the
book what they were looking for to attack the Hizb
and classify it as a kafir hizb, because it was
mentioned in the book that it's allowed that Muslims
105 Traditional male cloth in the Arabian Peninsula.
Page 162 of 224
pay money to infidels in certain circumstances to
dodge their danger… after that there was the book
"islamic dawah" for who claims to be sadeq
ameen106 and Allah is the witness that he is not so…
and another book for fathy yaken and another for
yusuf al-athem… and many other books. Those
books that revealed the real hatred in their hearts, in
addition to unparallel ridiculousness and
superficiality, lies and deliberate twisting of facts
when quoting from references… something that
won't be done by someone with juts a little bit of
taqwa and fear of Allah… they still the same,
unchanged at all. When Sheikh Wajeeh Al-Khateeb,
as the person who delivers the Friday speech in Al-
Ebraheemy mosque, tried to start the speech
immediately after the azan107 unlike what the ministry
mosques implement, one of famous ekhwan leaders
in Al-Khaleel; sheikh mohammed rashad abdulsalam
al-shareef, abu rifa'at, stood up after the
prayer to deliver a hot speech attacking this act,
considering contradictory to the tradition in mosques
106 This was the nickname used by the author, where sadeq means "truth
teller" and ameen means "never traitor".
107 Call for prayer.
Page 163 of 224
for decades, labeling is as non-islamic, exploiting the
opportunity to attack the Hizb that, according to him,
forbids Jihad and Friday prayer and Zakat unless its
state is established, never hesitating to insult and
slander the Hizb, its Shabab and its leaders. When I
recall this, I don't do it to slander our brothers in
religion or raise hatred in their hearts, Allah forbids,
rather to call out young Shabab who haven't
witnessed such incidents to be extremely patient and
have high tolerance and edge-cutting ethics when
debating with them, never go after them when they
hear curses and insults as usual, and never to get
into discussion with them in such situations; be
alerted not to be dragged into their forums that
turned into stinky swamps of curses and insults, and
never allow the Hizb to be as if it's in a defensive
position, as we got used to their way of discussion
since the Hizb was established. I urge our young
Shabab to look at them as their brothers in religion
who have lost the path and got ruptured by their
deep hatred, so be good to them, advise them with
descent words, never allow Satan to overcome your
feelings towards your brothers in religion, never feel
hatred towards them, never challenge them as this
Page 164 of 224
attitude will help the Satan to overwhelm them,
despite all what you see from them… advise them,
help them and pray to Allah to guide them to the
correct path. And remember my dear brothers that
you are the selected elite in this Ummah, the
beautiful mole that no eye can miss, the lights to
others, whom tongues speak day and night of the
proofs of Qura'an, the students of His Eminence
Sheikh Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany, his companion and
brother His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem
Zalloum, and the brothers of the voice of absolute
righteousness and Haq under the dome of
parliament, His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or,
the carriers of the flag of change, under the current
Emirship of Sheikh Ata bin Khaleel Abu Al-Rashta,
the rivals and enemies of Satan and its allies in
Earth, with whom Allah insha-Allah will fix the lands
and shield the slaves, among them those who
resembled the companions and friends of Esa bin
Mariam, may Allah be pleased with both, who were
cut into pieces alive, some of them has passed away
already, some are still waiting, changing nothing
about the Haq they have adopted for decades. You
are the hope of this Ummah, its leaders towards
Page 165 of 224
goodness and victory insha-Allah. You ought, O
brothers, to understand it is your duty to guide
people to goodness, not challenge them, fight with
them, or hate them. Rather, drive them to the Haq
and righteousness, and recall the duty on your
shoulders of advice and sincerity as you are the flag
carriers, no one else, and this dictates duties that
Allah will hold you accountable for, thus do your best
that no one will have an argument against you in
front of Allah in the day of judgment… You are the
Muslims with heaviest burden, so don't let this
Ummah down.

Episode 17108
Ordeals and Shakes
The Dawah was stormed by three severe ordeals
that affected it marsh negatively, and they almost
destroyed the Hizb, but the care of Allah has been
the protective shield of this Dawah. Those ordeals
are: Leadership, Withdrawal of Asa’ad, and abdulnaser.
They were mentioned before, and this is brief
repetition of the third one. The ordeal of abdul-naser
was the most dangerous one, which inflected huge
losses and harms on the Hizb, it also stopped the
march of the Hizb for several years.
108 Relevant information was provided in many other episodes too.
Page 167 of 224
It was mentioned in the book of "Partisan Massing"
regarding the principal danger: (….and in this case,
the Hizb will be in-between two fires: the first is to be
exposed to the anger of Ummah, thus destructing
what it has built. And the other is to deviate from the
principle or compromise, and both things are so
dangerous on it…) and the result of this balance was
"ordeal of abdul-naser" that almost destroyed the
Hizb. The Hizb had suffered from this ordeal too
much, where the Hizb stopped to get any new
supporters for years, and not only that but also the
Hizb lost more than 75% of its members, who
wanted the Hizb to get along with the public opinion
that is in favor of abdul-naser, and not criticize him,
as abdul-naser reached the stage of being called
"worshipped by people" because he declared enmity
against americans with his hackneyed speeches and
publicity-targeted actions, like nationalization of Suez
canal, construction of High Dam, and his announced
enmity towards the rulers of jordan and saudi
arabia…. The Hizb was determined to follow the
correct path, which is sticking to the principle, even if
it loses the Ummah temporarily, thus it exposed the
treasons and agency of abdul-naser to the infidel
Page 168 of 224
american colonialist, releasing a booklet that
exposed the secrets of the weapons deal that was
held with the soviet union. This made everyone hate
the Hizb and its Shabab, reaching the levels of
insults, curses, slanders, physical abuses, as some
Shabab were beaten and got their organs broken,
they were fired at with guns and attacked in all
media organs, lectures, speeches, symposiums,
public and private meetings. During some of
"Baghdad Alliance" demonstrations, sometimes lead
by "waleed hamadah shaheen", he and his friends
used to stop their slogans against Baghdad alliance
when they approach a store of one of the Shabab,
and switch their slogans to anti-Hizb, calling for its
destruction. Days before the stupid play of
submission of West Bank by king hussein in the year
1967, ridiculous individuals who had fallen in love
with abdul-naser were threatening the Shabab of
Hizb with killing and dragging in the streets and
cutting their organs as soon as abdul-naser gets out
of his conflict with the jews victorious.
The ordeal of abdul-naser was very severe; it almost
broke the Hizb down, but Allah was the only One to
Page 169 of 224
protect this Dawah, as abdul-naser got the sympathy
and love of everyone, including very significant
number of Hizb's members, with his speeches and
actions, while the Hizb was the only one to warn and
alert the Muslims, declaring that abdul-naser is an
american agent.
This ordeal lasted for several years, during which the
Hizb couldn’t progress for one inch. On the contrary,
it went in reverse direction and witnessed severe
setback.
This is the ordeal of abdul-naser in brief, and
episode 5 has other details too, and explanation of
the reasoning of the Hizb's stand, that contradicted
the whole Ummah back then.

Episode 19
Tree-Shaking & No Way to Compare
As mentioned in episode 13, November 1957
witnessed a general experiment by the Hizb, where it
had an ordinary leaflet, with very strict orders to be
followed regarding the way of execution. As a matter
of fact, the Shabab at this stage had been
accustomed to the deeds of concentrated culturing
and public culturing only, and it was natural that the
Hizb will try to reach the Launch Point, as it is
knocking on the society's door to enter, which if it
reaches in a correct manner then it will transits to the
second phase of interaction with the Ummah to
Page 172 of 224
make it carry its ideas and concepts. To do that, it
was essential to adopt the interests of Ummah,
expose the colonialism's plots, and strike the existing
relationships between peoples and governments,
which this ordinary leaflet was composed of.
However, the style used in the leaflet was so strong
and aggressive, which the Shabab had not
witnessed before, which excited fear in them
regarding their personal interests, thus they did
balance in their heads between the Dawah and their
interests, where they deemed their interests as
equivalent to the Dawah, which caused the failure of
the useless objects among them, with such light
push; no strong tree-shaking yet. This resulted in a
general failure in the whole domain of work for the
Hizb; tens failed completely, hundreds showed
explicit incompetence, which meant that the body of
the Hizb cannot handle striking the relationships in a
non-stop manner; which means the current inability
to knock the door of society, because that transition
movement wasn't natural. Then came the strong and
severe tree-shaking operations, leaflets, political
commentaries, mobilization leaflets, designation of
work regions, getting rid of honorary members…
Page 173 of 224
until 1958 came and there was the union between
Egypt and Syria, thus people got mad and fell in total
love with abdul-naser, then revolution in Lebanon,
then coup in Iraq…. Emotions were so high, people
were insane... tree-shaking operations' cost to the
Hizb was tremendous, but very necessary to solidify
the body of the Hizb, so it faces no problems in the
future when it gets in serious conflicts with rulers; to
get the Shabab to never hesitate and never deem
their interests as equivalent to the Dawah, as
sacrifices need special type of persons; those who
never care about their earthly benefits and interests,
rather persons who totally sold themselves to Allah,
with no compromises at all, and no considerations of
anything but the pleasure of Allah. Whoever doesn't
fit this profile, dropped out and there was no way for
them to hide their realities; the tree was shaken so
strong in abnormal circumstances.
Here we pull the attention to the issue of self versus
mind. Problems usually comes from the self110; since
personality is composed of self and mind, and
110 Disposition or psychology.
Page 174 of 224
regardless of how deep the mind can understand or
be convinced with ideas and concepts, the self must
vibrate in harmony and oscillate in consistency with
the mind, to get proper personality. If the self doesn't
respond to the type of thoughts adopted by mind
positively, that personality got shaken and drops as
a useless object. The contradiction between
personal interests and Dawah is so strong, and can
only be dealt with by giant personalities, and
examples of famous individuals who had fallen down
show this realty in an astonishing manner.
The Hizb, during the ordeal of abdul-naser, was like
a small ship captain in a very stormy weather and a
very wavy ocean, paddling against everything, and
this wasn't acceptable at all by people who were
overwhelmed by their emotions and thirst to dignity,
which they thought they were getting with an agent
like abdul-naser.
Some naïve persons have been comparing between
the status of the Hizb in that ordeal and the status of
others during the recent elections of evil palestinian
parliament elections in 2006, where the Hizb
Page 175 of 224
succeeded greatly in its campaign to state that it's
haram to participate in it. For example, in the biggest
city of West Bank, Al-Khaleel, those who have the
right to vote are 435,000, and only 186,000
registered themselves to vote, which is %42.75, and
only 103,000 did vote later on, which is %55.37 of
registered persons and %23.67 of the entire number.
Counting the invalid votes got the percentage of
voters down from %23.67 to %16 only. This means
clearly that the people did respond to Islam and did
obey the Sharii ruling: it's haram to participate in
these elections, despite the aggressive efforts by
interest-seekers. The sincere activities of Hizb ut-
Tahrir are clear from those statistics, as the people
clearly stood by the Hizb against those elections
since the stage of voter registry, despite the
campaigns to falsify the numbers by media organs,
and despite the evil fatwas and huge sums of money
spent on those election campaigns. Also, many of
those who voted made it clear that they believe
participation in such elections in forbidden in Islam,
but they are participating to gain instantaneous
benefits.
Page 176 of 224
The reality is that who ever doesn't follow the
methodology of Islam in working gets lost, as it's only
the principal Hizb that has massed itself on intellect
would have self reference in such intellect and such
methodology, and it gets account for it. Other
association-type movements that were established
to reform something has no adopted intellect to be
accounted for accordingly, rather some massing on
slogans and individuals that are looked at as if they
were holy, and they manage the movement as they
desire. When you discuss something with an
intellectual, he debates his intellect with you,
approving or disapproving your intellect, using
evidence in this. Non-intellectuals cannot handle
this, as he has no intellect, no thoughts, no
evidences…nothing. Thus, for him, methodology is
not an adopted intellect, rather it's self desire and
instructions coming from leaders, which can change
any time in accordance with interests and benefits,
thus they have no intellectual foundations and no
constant concepts, rather they change themselves
everyday; what is totally unacceptable by them
yesterday may very well become very acceptable
today, and what they adopt at one location may be
Page 177 of 224
totally rejected by them somewhere else. Thus, their
foundation is their desires and leadership's
fluctuations, such that they reached the stage of
deem their leaders as holy figures. If you attempt to
discuss an idea with them, they get totally lost, and
they reply with insults, slanders, lying, rumors,
calling you a kafir, as they have no other reply. Thus,
their forums became stinky swamps, where all they
do is slandering the sincere Dawah carriers in the
absence of any evidence they have. Thus, when you
debate something with someone like this, you simply
become an aid of Satan on him and squeezed your
brother into the corner of treason, while we are
carriers of goodness and righteousness to all people,
and we cannot by any means embarrass people and
drive them into an out-of-control status where they
keep insisting on the evil, getting them into the stage
of deserving Allah's anger. I recall when some of the
Shabab discussed the a certain concept with them in
one of their forums, proving them wrong, they drew a
shoe over the name of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which
indicates that debating anything with them is just
aiding Satan on them, thus we shouldn't do that and
supplement to Allah to guide them. Some Shabab
Page 178 of 224
may think defending the Hizb against those liars is a
righteous act, like exposing corrupt agent rulers, as
those claim to be working for Islam, while they are
acting like an axe to destroy it, willingly or unwillingly.
Well, this is a very dangerous idea, because those
people have infinite storage of lies, and replying to
them will take all day and night, getting the Dawah
carrier into the status of becoming no more Dawah
carrier, rather responder to lies, and must never
happen, thus the Shabab must be alerted.

Episode 22
Demonstrations
When we mention about demonstrations, it's
necessary to recall the jewish occupation and
destruction of the village of (Al-Somoo') in the area
of Al-Khaleel in 13.11.1966 G, as a first step of the
complete delivery of the king of Karak; hussein bin
talal, of West bank to the jews. When this happened
to Al-Somoo', huge demonstrations erupted in the
streets of Al-Khaleel, condemning the treason of
jordan's rulers. As result, the governor of Al-Khaleel
back then, yusuf al-mobiedeen (member of
parliament later on), called the leaders and traders of
the city, all together with the head of municipality,
mohammed ali al-Jaa'bary, for a meeting. There, he
Page 185 of 224
threatened the attendants to crush the
demonstrations if they don't cease at once. There,
one of the Shabab, the representative of the city's
traders, Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty113 replied to him,
explaining that the demonstrations came as a result
of the disclosure of the reality to all people that the
state is not protecting them against the enemies, and
that the jews occupied and destroyed the village with
no resistance at all, and the discussion should be
over the origin of the problem, which is the absence
of the state's protection against enemies. There, the
governor replied: do I understand from this that you
support the demonstrations? There Sheikh Naser
looked at the other attendants, saying: since the
governor understood this from what I said, this
means he doesn't know Arabic, so would anyone of
you translate what I have just said from Arabic to the
language the governor understands? That's when
the head of municipality, al-jaa'bary, interfered to
defuse the tension, saying: rest assured my brother,
Abu Hatem114, and all the population of the city that I
114 Sheikh Naser Al-Sharabaty.
Page 186 of 224
called our master115 by phone and he promised me
to send protection. There, Sheikh Naser replied to aljaa'bary
saying: and how can I be sure, O abu
waheed, that when the protection arrives from your
master, the situation won't be like the saying "when
the medicine comes from Iraq, the sick would be
already dead"116. That's when the governor erupted
like a mad bull, and announced curfew in the city, to
be implemented very strictly, and all violators would
be punished. Thus, yusuf al-mobeideen was the first
to commit the crime of cancellation of Friday prayer,
as the curfew was announced few hours before the
prayer, forbidding Muslims from performing a prayer
Allah has obligated them to perform; Chapter Friday,
Verse 9 in the Qura'an. May Allah punish the unjust
and tyrants and all the mercenaries who help them.
The Hizb had warned everyone about that few
months in advance, in a leaflet "Political
Commentary" distributed to the people in 24.03.1386
H - 13.07.1966 G, where it exposed the agreement
between king hussein and the jews to deliver West
115 He meant, of course, his master, the perished king; hussein bin talal.
116 The saying indicates the delay of any action; the protection of hussein
bin talal will arrive after the jews are finished with what they intend to do.
Page 187 of 224
Bank to them. The occupation of Al-Somoo' was
done with one full brigade, as a first step to occupy
the whole West Bank, but the americans interfered
and pressured the jews to retreat and stop their
occupation of West Bank, which was carried out later
on, in June 1976.

Episode 23
The Leaflet of Delivery of West Bank
Regarding the leaflet of 13.07.1966, after it was
distributed, The Hizb sent a delegation to meet the
jordanian prime minister back then, wasfy al-tal, and
here are the memories of one of our Sheikhs who
was delegate: (The Hizb asked us to meet jordanian
prime minister "wasfy al-tal" regarding the warning of
the jordanian government of the severe
consequences of the delivery of west bank, and we
gathered in 60-person delegation, composed of
members and supporters of the Hizb, among them
were Ali Ahmed Hassonah, Mr. Ahmed Al-Faqeer –
Abu A'asem, Mr. Abdul-Hafeeth Al-Shaa'rawy,
Hashem Yunus, Hashem Nammorah, and of the
Page 189 of 224
supporters there was Sheikh Al-Azeezy and others,
and the head of the delegation was Ali Ahmed
Hassonah. This took place 11 months before the
delivery of West Bank. We gathered at the
designated time in front of prime ministry, and it was
Tuesday, which is the day designated by wasfy al-tal
to meet delegations and persons in need. When we
entered his hall, the head of the delegation said to
him: we are a delegation from Hizb ut-Tahrir, and we
would like to talk to you. There, wasfy al-tal stood up,
left the hall and everyone in it, and asked the head of
delegation that he and his delegation follow him, to
his personal office. His office got completely full, and
some of us sat in a nearby room. I was in the main
office, thus I witnessed the whole meeting. There,
wasfy al-tal said: here we are in my office, go ahead,
what do you want? Hassonah said: Hizb ut-Tahrir
has been following up the incidents going on in the
region; visits, statements, actions, and it made him
realize that a conspiracy to fabricate a war by jordan
is undergoing, to deliver West Bank to the jews.
Prime minister, wasfy al-tal was shocked, denying
such thing, describing it as mere speculations. But
Hassonah was a stubborn debater, and I say that the
Page 190 of 224
Hizb had made excellent decision to select him as
the head of delegation, as he started to discuss with
wasfy al-tal what was mentioned in the leaflet of
13.07.1966, and he was replying to every point
raised by wasfy al-tal with evidence and proof117,
where wasfy al-tal was replying to him (no way man,
is this possible while we have al-thafer and alqaher118?)
making fun of abdul-naser's missiles.
That's when Hassonah replied: (leave that away, as
this matter has nothing to do with what we are here
to talk about, which is: The Hizb is warning you to
carry out this betrayal against the Ummah, and it will
inform the people with it, and you will be held
responsible of the consequences of this matter).
When the seriousness of the Hizb to expose the
conspiracy became apparent to wasfy al-tal, he
promised the Hizb and all the people that if this were
true, then it would never happen in his era. The visit
117 This is a lesson to our Shabab; political understanding is not
speculations or theoretical speeches; it must be founded on actions
happening on ground, always. This makes such understanding unique; no
probabilities in it, because it's mere understanding of what's happening in
real world, so how could it bear (maybe) or (perhaps) terms! When
someone makes a political analysis saying (maybe) or (perhaps), then it is
mere speculation and cannot be deemed an understanding of what's
going on in reality.

him, claimed to manufacture; misguiding people and making them live in

concluded peacefully, but many Shabab were
arrested after the distribution of the leaflet).
The head of delegation (Ali Ahmed Hassonah) was,
may Allah rest him and have mercy on him, one of
the pioneers in the Hizb, who kept his word and
promise until the day he passed away in 27.12.2002.
He was imprisoned in 1957 and 1961, and as one of
relatives say: (He joined the Hizb 2 years before his
marriage, which means 1954 or 1955, and his first
supervisor was Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Khayyat, and
some of his companions in the Hizb: Ghanem
Abdouh, Mohammed Shoa'yb, Fayez Ghoshah,
Tahseen Al-Khayyat, and many of them were
frequent visitors to his store, in the street of
Khayyam, in city center, where he was tailor.
Because I was his relative, I used to attend their
meetings since 1963 and listen to their intellectual,
political and fiqhi discussions, as his store was more
like a forum to the Hizb's Shabab until 1989, where
he closed the store due to his sickness. But those
meetings kept going afterwards in his house, where
they were attended by Sheikh Ez-eddin Al-Khateeb
Al-Tamimy, Sheikh Asa’ad Bayyoudh Al-Tamimy,

His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or, after getting

brother Ahmed Baker, may Allah release him from
the hands of tyrants, Mr. Mostafa Al-Shae'r, and
many others. He was with Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-
Khayyat during one of his prison terms).
He continues: (Regarding the delegation member:
Ahmed Al-Faqeer, Abu A'asem, he is among the
famous pioneers of the Dawah, and he was accused
to be part of the Nusrah instrument119 who were
sentenced to death in the coup attempt in jordan in
1969, among 19 persons sentenced to death, one of
them was Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or), and he is one of
those who kept their word and promise to Allah, and
still waiting for the establishment of the Khilafah
State, and we pray to Allah that it happens soon.
119 A special instrument; any inquiries regarding it should be directed to
the Emir of the Hizb only. A message to the Emir can be sent through any
of the spokesmen or representatives of the Hizb worldwide.
Page 193 of 224
Regarding the delegation member, our brother
(Abdul-Hafeeth Ahmed Al-Shaa'rawy), he was a
pioneer in the Dawah, and he spent his life in
carrying it. Many good deeds are attributed to him,
as he took care of the construction and preparation
of many mosques, like the mosque of Al-Shaa'rawy
in Amman, and the mosque of Al-Shaa'rawy in Al-
Khaleel. He passed away on Thursday 08.12.2005
at an age of 87, and he was buried in the family
graveyard in Amman. We pray to Allah, for him and
all the Beloved by Allah, to have His mercy on them
and allow them to His paradise, amen.

The Shaheeds of the Sunnah of Prophet
Muhammed SAW121
When the tyrant of Libya, mua'ammar al-qathafy,
was rude enough to speak against the Sunnah in
public, in criticism and rejection, Hizb ut-Tahrir sent a
delegation of his men to discuss the matter with
mua'ammar, then issued a booklet to the Ummah,
exposing the criminality of this thug, which triggered
him to kill a number of the Hizb's Shabab, who Allah
has selected to be the shaheeds of the Haq word,
being said to a tyrant kafir ruler, becoming the
121 Shaheed: martyr. Sunnah: Actions done during life - history. Prophet:
Muhammed. SAW: Salla Allahu alayhi Wassalam: May the mercy and
salute of Allah be upon him.
Page 197 of 224
brothers of Hamza bin Abdul-Mottalib122; the master
of all shaheeds, the companions of Seyyid Qutub;
one of the masters of shaheeds in the 20th century,
and the serial killing of Dawah carriers is still ongoing
in the Muslims' lands, may Allah take their revenge
from the thug butchers who killed them. The Hizb
issued a dramatic statement, after the execution of
13 of his members on the hands of the enemy of
Allah & His Messenger; mua'ammar, may Allah burn
him in hell. Here is the statement:
قُتِ َ ل َأصْحَابُ الُْأخْدُودِ { 4} النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَُقودِ { 5} إِ ْ ذ هُمْ عََليْهَا قُعُودٌ { 6} وَهُمْ عََلى مَا يَفْعَُلو َ ن
بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ { 7} وَمَا نََقمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا َأن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ اْلعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ { 8} الَّذِي َلهُ مُلْكُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَْأرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عََلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ { 9} إِنَّ الَّذِينَ َفتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ُثمَّ َلمْ يَتُوبُوا
َفَلهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وََلهُمْ عَذَابُ اْلحَرِيقِ { 10 } سورة البروج.
[Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire) (4) Fire
supplied (abundantly) with fuel (5) Behold! they sat
over against the (fire) (6) And they witnessed (all)
that they were doing against the Believers (7) And
they ill-treated them for no other reason than that
122 The uncle of Prophet Mohammed SAW, and the Lion of Allah SWT. He
fell a shaheed in the battle of Ohod; the second major conflict between
Muslims and the kafirs of Quraysh.
Page 198 of 224
they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of
all Praise! (8) Him to Whom belongs the dominion of
the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to
all things (9) Those who persecute (or draw into
temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do
not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell:
They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire
(10)]123 Al-Borooj.
Yes indeed, the enemy of Allah, the enemy of His
Messenger, and the enemy of Islam and Muslims, alqathafy,
only ill-treated the Shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir,
because they believe in Allah, The Exalted in Power,
The Worthy of all Praise, and work to resume the
ruling of Allah in Earth, and carry Islam as a
message to the whole world, through the
establishment of The Khilafah.
Hizb ut-Tahrir in this praised month, the blessed
Ramadhan, the month of Qura’an, the month of
sacrifice and giving, the month during which the first
shaheed of honorable companions fell in the great

Page 199 of 224
battle of Bader, announces to the Islamic Ummah
the death of 13 of his Shabab, from Libya, Jordan
and Palestine, who fell shaheed upon the execution
and killing of the tyrant, unjust, blood-sucking thug,
al-qathafy, in Libya. The Messenger of Allah says:
“The master of shaheeds is Hamza, and a man, who
stood up to a tyrant ruler, accounting him for his
actions, thus he killed him”. Those shaheeds are:
Naser Serees, Ali Ahmed Awadallah, Badee’ Hasan
Bader, Nimr Salem Esa, Abdullah Hammodah,
Abdullah Al-Masallaty, Al-Kordy, Saleh Al-Nawal, his
nephew, Mohammed Mohathab Haffan, who were
executed in the schools and universities, in front of
teachers, students, families, and children. One of
them was taken down to be found breathing, then
they hang him up again, then they took him down,
tied him to a car, which started to drag him along the
streets, in front of his family, children, teachers and
students.
The other three; Majid Al-Qudsy Al-Doweik,
Mohammed Bayyoomy, and Al-Faqoory, were killed
under torture in the intelligence in Tripoli.
Page 200 of 224
The whole crime of those 13 young men is
membership of Hizb ut-Tahrir, their carrying of Islam
and work to establish the Islamic Khilafah, as
carrying Islam, and working to resume the ruling of
Allah in Earth is being deemed nowadays a crime by
the tyrant libertine rulers of Muslims. Abdullah Al-
Masallaty was already sentenced to 20-year
imprisonment since 1973, 10 of which had already
been served; they brought him from jail to court with
the charge that he made one person a member of
Hizb ut-Tahrir, while he was in prison, thus the court
sentenced him to death for that. al-qathafy
introduced him as they were working to change the
regime in Libya.
The thing that drove the enemy of Allah, al-qathafy,
to perform this ugly crime and horrible massacre is
spite against Hizb ut-Tahrir, because Hizb ut-Tahrir
had sent a delegation to him to discuss with him the
affair he had announced of denying the usage of the
sayings of The Messenger as evidences. They sat
down with him for 4 hours, they debated with him
and explained to him that the sayings of The
Messenger are like the Qura’an; Sharii evidences
Page 201 of 224
must be taken and considered. They also explained
to him that it’s kufr to deny the sayings of The
Messenger. The Hizb had asked them to carry a
memo with this regard, then the Hizb printed this
memo and distribute it all over the Muslim World,
thus the enemy of Allah and His Messenger got
angry because of that, becoming so mad, and hated
the Hizb this awful hatred, which drove him to shed
the pure bloods of those kind purified Shabab.
We ask Allah to deem their blood a blood of
shaheed, to reward them the best rewards on behalf
of Islam and Muslims, to elevate their status, and get
them together with the prophets, always-believers,
shaheeds, and good people; the best companions,
and makes the rewards of us and their families
great, and inspire us and them to be patient. We also
ask Him to make their blood a good sign for Islam
and Muslims, and signals of victory, to establish the
Khilafah, and rise of the light of Islam and its return
to life. We, the Shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir, say to the
enemy of Allah and His Messenger and the enemy
of Muslims, al-qathafy: the blood of those purified
men will be an eternal curse on you, and your
Page 202 of 224
shedding of those pure bloods will only make us
strengthen our intention and insistence, and will only
increase our belief in Allah and confidence in His
near victory. Soon will the unjust assailants know
what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
To Allah we extend our prayers to descend his
curses, nonstop, on His enemy; al-qathafy, and to
take him severely, and take our revenge from him on
our hands, and make that soon with the
establishment of the Khilafah State, “and Allah hath
full power and control over His affairs; but most
among mankind know it not”.

Memories of Others
I called few of those who kept their promise to Allah,
of the pioneer beloveds by Allah, and ask them to
write some of their memories to the new beloveds by
Allah; "to get the happiness wherever you got it, and
shed tears wherever you shed it, and to learn from
you and your experiences". The first to do it has
been our beloved, and the beloved of our Emir, the
son of the old city in Al-Khaleel, and then there was
the resident of Qanater, may Allah reward both of
them.
Page 205 of 224
I. Memories of the son of old city
I took the first halaqa in Hizb ut-Tahrir in the
beginning of 1953; at that time people used to call us
"The Nabhanies" after the Hizb's establisher, His
Eminence Sheikh "Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany" as they
had no idea about the thoughts of the Hizb back
then. At the beginning we used to have 5-10 person
halaqas, until it was re-structured to have 5 persons
at most. The public culturing was done by public
lessons in the Ebraheemy mosque, once, twice, or
three times weekly, after asr prayer, being attended
by few people only, until it developed and became
regular, every week, after the Friday prayer, dealing
with intellectual issues and political commentaries.
When attendance became significant, and people
interacted with the lessons actively, cursed "globe"
issued his order to make the infamous law of
preachment in mosques125, that's when the state and
its security apparatus started to chase the Shabab
and pressure them, and we kept going despite that.
125 See episode 9.
Page 206 of 224
The Dawah, during its early launch days, faced big
obstacles and severe intellectual struggles took
place between us and "communists, baa'athists,
socialists, and the group of ekhwan moslemoon",
and those bone-breaking struggles were happening
during the same times of severe pressures by the
state and its intelligence, where we used to distribute
political leaflets in a struggling manner, which
caused many Shabab to get arrested from time to
time, that we used to leave our houses wearing our
sleeping clothes under our working clothes in
preparation to get arrested, and intelligence
campaigns to search and arrest on our houses and
stores were done almost every day, but all thanks
and praise to Allah SWT that those pressures never
paused us and forced us to give up.
During the first elections that were done during the
government of "tawfeek abu al-huda" the Hizb
nominated for Al-Khaleel His Eminence Sheikh
Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and Asa’ad Bayyoudh and
Abdul-Ghaffar Katbah. In the second elections they
were Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum and Asa’ad Bayyoudh
and Yusuf Al-Zagheer. The campaigning was
Page 207 of 224
severe, as we struggled with the state from one side
and other parties and movements from the other
side, and we were so harmed, that other parties'
men and followers used to chase us and stone us in
cities and villages. The state was more criminal, as
during the second elections I supervised one
election box for the three candidates, and we had
instructions to check the elections' boxes before
being closed, and when the area commander and
the general supervisor came to close the box I
extended my hand into it to check if there were two
levels inside it, that's when the area commander
slapped me in the face so strong that I almost got
unconscious, and of course the elections were faked
in front of everyone's eyes.
One day I wanted to travel to Baghdad, thus I went
to the area commander "mahmood al-rifae'y" to get
travel permit, and when I approached him with the
application, he said: you messed up this country and
you want to mess up Iraq too… then he caught me
from my neck and punched me in the chest that one
bone was broken and I got unconscious, thus was
Page 208 of 224
carried to medical attention and got banned from
traveling.
Once we put banners on the walls during nights
asking people to read the book of "Islamic State" and
when sun rises, they all used to be taken down by
intelligence agents. Once, we were instructed to
gather big number of people during night in the
neighborhood of Al-Bassah, so Sheikh Abu Yusuf126
talk to them and address them, the communists
rained us with stones, and they threw big stone at
Abu Yusuf but it missed him and broke the light
behind him, and the bastards escaped.
In the year 1959 there was monthly session in out
house in the old city and there were about 40
persons, and when the police broke in the house, the
Shabab escaped over the roofs, and 7 were
arrested. My father got angry and asked about the
reason of this bust, that's when they said to him:
because your house is for hookers and bitches, thus
my father got so mad and got a rode in his hand
attempting to strike the intelligence sergeant who
126 His Eminence Sheikh Abdul-Qadeem Zalloum.
Page 209 of 224
said that, but the police officer interfered and
stopped him. Few days later we were in court in front
of the criminal "hasan al-kateb"127 and after tough
debate with him, he sentenced us to 3-year
obligatory residence at home, and proving presence
to police 4 times a day, and never leave our house
after sunset until sunrise, and they used to check on
us after sunset, and one day they knocked on the
door and my father replied to them saying that I'm
sleeping and she refused to wake me up despite
their persistent insistence, and she throw water on
their heads the next day, and when I went to the
police station to prove presence, the officer
interrogated me and held me in their dirty toilet for
some time.
During the state's preparation for the vatican's
pope's visit, we were instructed to gather people to
account the ruler, and we gathered about 100 who
were not Shabab, but the intelligence agents
dispersed people, thus we had only few remaining
with us under the leadership of Abdul-Qader Al-
127 I would like to ask all the readers to raise their hands and ask Allah to
make this person's punishment so severe.
Page 210 of 224
Kafrawy, may Allah rest him, and the agents got very
active in arresting the Shabab. The same happened
when accounting the ruler for the state's intention to
deliver West Bank, and it was under the leadership
of Wajeeh Al-Khateeb, may Allah rest him. After that,
someone in charge came form the Hizb to teach us
how to carry out the deeds of entrance to society
through our presence in our localities.
One of the acts of "shake the tree to get rid of
useless objects" Sheikh Taqi-yuddin, may Allah rest
him, was from time to time assign all the Shabab,
including employees, to distributed a leaflet in a
struggling manner128 at a specific time. Once he
asked everyone to do it at 10 o'clock in the morning,
and 8 didn't obey the orders (out of about 50
persons) and the Sheikh decided to punish them by
"ignoring them".
When the state issued a law to force vehicle owners
to purchase insurance, the Hizb asked us to send
128 "Distribution in a struggling manner" means that the Shabab must
distribute the leaflet hand to hand and face to face. Sometimes the
Shabab are not asked to do so, thus they just put the leaflet in mailboxes,
in door's edges, or on cars' windshields.
Page 211 of 224
telegraphs to the prime minister explaining to him
that insurance is a sin in Islam, and we did it, and
some Shabab were arrested as a result of that.
II. Memories of Qanater's Resident129
I was younger than 17 in 1952, just finished 6th grade
and started working as a tailor, when I heard from
one of neighbors' kids that some persons are
studying Islam in their house, mentally, thus I asked
him about them and asked to be one of them, and
then found out that my cousin is one of them, while
he was our neighbor in the same old building in the
Qanater of Al-Khaleel, and because I was so young,
he never thought to invite me to the Dawah, as he
told me later on. During this time Sheikh Taqi-yuddin
came to Al-Khaleel to deliver the speech of Friday
prayer in Al-Ebraheemy mosque, thus I heard him
for the first time, and a lot of people were there, and
he attacked the arab states so severely and was so
aggressive against them, and talked about the past
and presence of the Ummah, in his 1:15 hour
129 The word qanater is the plural form of qantarah, which means bridge. I
assume that in the neighborhood of Al-Khaleel there is an area called
Qanater.
Page 212 of 224
speech, and the purpose of the visit was to put the
attention to something new, and it was achieved.
People were living in darkness and very declined
level without being aware of it, as they were proud
with their leaders and kings, even praising english
globe pasha, use to run to see a leader convoy if any
passes by the city, read about palace storied and
visits of princesses and all similar rubbish news.
When israel was made, their started to hope in
agents and their meetings and conferences, with no
clue about what to do: they were in total darkness.
Launch of "Islamic State" Word
In such circumstance the word "Islamic State" was
launch in Al-Quds, as the Hizb didn't use the word
"Khilafah" as the beginning because people at that
time used to imagine the Khalifah130 when mentioned
as that holy sheikh with tasbeeh chains and
incenses all over, thus they used to think that he is
some kind of historical legend that will never occur
130 The head of the Khilafah State.
Page 213 of 224
again. Thus, the Hizb didn't use the word Khilafah at
the beginning.
The word "Islamic State" reached Iraq through some
travelers who used to take goods to Iraq, thus it
reached there in its raw form: (some people in Al-
Quds are working to establish an Islamic State under
the leadership of Taqi-yuddin An-Nabhany) and as
soon as Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al-Badry and lawyer
Ebraheem Makky heard that, they immediately came
to Al-Quds asking about An-Nabhany and the house
of Tawfeek Abu Khalaf, and the kids told them where
the house is, and they entered and said salam to
everyone and only hugged Sheikh Abdul-Hay Arafah
because he had turban on his head; who left the
Dawah in 1955 and stayed as the mofti of Khaleel
until his death. When the two Iraqis sat down and
talk re-started, they realized that they hadn't hugged
Sheikh Taqi, thus they stood up again and hugged
him. This incident shows us the extreme sensitive
feelings those two persons used to have, as they
came to Al-Quds as soon as they heard about the
issue to start working for it.
Page 214 of 224
In the year 1953 if I recall correct, Sheikh Taqi was
jailed for short time with some of the Shabab in Al-
Quds and the person in charge of jail showed him
hospitality and respect, while the Sheikh wasn't
happy because of that, saying to those around him
that this person is not fit for this job because he
shouldn't show hospitality to prisoners. Those with
the Sheikh, most probably, didn't understand at that
time the meaning of seriousness in thinking. In the
1950's the clubs were where college students meet,
those who study in Egypt and Lebanon and
Damascus, during summer holidays. Also, sport
clubs were centers for communists and baa'athists,
and we used to invade them and go into severe
debates with them, especially communists. Those
types of students and teachers used to carry corrupt
concepts and didn't know about Islam anything but
what they used to hear by preachers. When we used
to struggle them by refutation of theories and what
man-made laws and systems, and talks about
history and nations, and the necessity to change
depending on illuminated thinking process, they
used to feel hollow and weak in front of us.
Page 215 of 224
It was funny that engagement used to be done in Al-
Khaleel, and ceremony attendants used to go on foot
with desserts in hand, and when some Shabab see
them, they used to accompany them, share with
them the happiness of occasion, and talk about the
Dawah with them.
In 1954, although we were few, we needed a place
to gather us, thus opened an office in city center
(bab al-zawyah) under the name of (Lawyer Dawod
Hamdan) to be our center, and we used it as election
campaign center in 1956. During early days we used
to ask one of the men in the neighborhood to gather
his neighbors so we talk to them and invite them to
the Dawah, and when they hear us they get out
slowly and quietly saying to each other: we thought
they will distribute bags of clothes to us, as the
agency of refugees used to do that back then.
In 1955-1956 the halaqas in summer were held
under a tree in the land of Mr. Abdul-Qader Zalloum
in the area of Ein Sarah, which was like a host to
halaqas; teaching and discussions used to extend
from after sunrise until night, away from the system
Page 216 of 224
adopted for halaqas nowadays, that more than one
person used to explain what he had read in the
book, and the attendants used to change. Also, we
used to go to the village and take the students from
there to the farms and teach them in the shadows of
trees.
1955-1958 the number of halaqas increased in town
and a lot of people used to attend the halaqa once or
twice then never come back, and many used to stay,
and when the waves of demonstrations in favor of
abdul-naser used to reach us, they used to leave us
because we used to refuse the idea of
demonstrations and expose the reality of abdulnaser,
and some of them used to fall under pressure,
and the Sheikh used to say: we are like a tree that
drops its useless objects.
In 1955 english "globe" ordered the agents in jordan
to issue the law of preachment in mosques only to
forbid us from addressing people, and after we
finished the Friday prayer in the village's mosque, I
stood up next to the mosque's door addressing them
Page 217 of 224
and saying that what forced me to address you
outside the mosque is the law of english "globe".
In 1959 it was announced in Al-Khaleel that there
was an intention to open cinema theater, during the
days of governor "sae'eed al-dajany", thus we
formed a delegated of people and Shabab, lead by
Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah, and they went to the
governor to refuse the idea of cinema in Al-Khaleel,
and the governor met the delegation and Ebraheem
talked to him and delivered to him the petition signed
by delegates and some people. Thus was done to
get people to get used to the idea of working as a
group in a collective manner, and the idea worked
out and the cinema wasn't established in Al-Khaleel.
In 1966 the Hizb exposed the conspiracy of delivery
of West Bank to israel, then the war of radio in 1967,
and because people used to be in favor of abdulnaser,
and since we are with the claimed war
atmosphere, the people started to threaten us with
hanging on electricity pillars after the Egyptian army
entered and defeats israel as they used to think, that
one of the Shabab was threatened by his brother to
Page 218 of 224
kill him after the victory that will be accomplished on
the hands of abdul-naser, but after the jews entered
Al-Khaleel, that person went back to his brother;
Abdul-Qader Sarsoor, crying and beginning for
forgiveness. Just before West bank was delivered to
israel, people used to accuse us of being american
agents, as the rumors and lies created by
intelligence agencies were against us at that time,
and they used to accuse us of getting paid dollars by
the american embassy, and there has been time
during the days of abdul-naser where we had no
support among people at all.
During the days of "foa'ad shehab" in Lebanon; I
don't recall the exact date, the named person used
to chase our Shabab in Lebanon. Thus, the Hizb
decided to send him telegraphs, and in Al-Khaleel
the selected person was Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah,
to send the telegraph to foa'ad shehab. Ebraheem
got the text from the Hizb and went to the post office
and wrote the telegraph: (foa'ad shehab, president of
republic of Lebanon, Lebanon is a Muslim country,
so how come you chase the sons of Muslims in your
country?) and handed the telegraph to the
Page 219 of 224
employee, who got nervous when he read it, and
asked Ebraheem: what's this? He replied: what you
see. After he paused a little while, the employee
went to the manager "omar shaheen" who came to
Ebraheem and made sure that he really wants to
send the telegraph. Then he asked Ebraheem for his
passport to verify the identity, wrote down the info,
and got the telegraph. When Ebraheem went home
that afternoon, there were the army and police
waiting for him, and took him to the intelligence then
to prison, and all attempts by intelligence to
persuade him not to send the telegraph failed, and
next day and while Ebraheem in jail he learnt that
foa'ad shehab had received the telegraph. After
being arrested for 5 months, Ebraheem was
sentenced by a marshal court for 6-month
imprisonment, and he got out after that.
In 1965 one seat in the parliament got vacant due to
the death of member yusuf abdul-fattah abu awadh
from Khaleel, and nominations were accepted in Al-
Khaleel, thus the government nominated teacher
ismail hijazy and the Hizb nominated Asa’ad
Bayyoudh. All people agreed on Asa’ad, not
Page 220 of 224
because they all support the Hizb, but because of
the accusations and enmity between abdul-naser
and jordan, and there was no need to campaigning
for Asa’ad, thus the jordanian government became
mad, and their intelligence started to apply the policy
of "carrot and stick" on asa’ad to withdraw, and when
Sheikh Ahmed Al-Dao'or heard about that he came
to Al-Khaleel, but wasn't allowed to pass by the
police at police station of “Kafr Asyoon” village, and
he called asa’ad to advise him and give him
strength, but no advice worked with him, and he
accept late night to withdraw form the elections, just
one day before casting votes, in the host-house of
A'al Al-Tamimy, to which he belonged, and "hasan
al-kateb" who was deputy of the king in West Bank
was in charge of the withdrawal himself in the named
host-house, and when we heard about that meeting
we rushed to that host-house that afternoon, and
asa’ad was one the platform, with hasan al-kateb
and head of municipality mohammed ali al-jaa'bary,
while Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah (20 years old) was
the head of spear in the audience. hasan al-kateb
and asa’ad stood up, and asa’ad was about to
announce his withdrawal from the elections, that's
Page 221 of 224
when Ebraheem shouted at him: Don't see anything
without its Sharii evidence, O asa’ad. When asa’ad
heard that from Ebraheem, whom he made member
in the Hizb, he said: (let the elections get through).
There, hasan al-kateb ordered the area commander;
nizar al-mefleh, as I recall, arresting Ebraheem and
sent him to prison, and before getting there another
one of hasan al-kateb's men came and brought them
back to the host-house, where hasan al-kateb asked
Ebraheem: what do you do? And he answered:
tailor. When hasan al-kateb knew he wasn't a
government employee, he released him after some
interference from some people like Sheikh Al-
Jaa'bary and few men in the host-house.
During night Ebraheem Al-Sharabaty came from
Amman and we spent the night in total anger. In the
morning Ebraheem Al-Sharabaty – Abu Shaker, and
Ebraheem Abu Ghazalah went to the house of
asa’ad, and found him walking as if he was lost, in
his own land, and when they approached him at a
rock, he was bursting into the weeping, thus they left
him and went back. When the incident was
conveyed to Sheikh Taqi, he said: (that bastard,
Page 222 of 224
hasan al-kateb, he was shaking in front of
Ebraheem), as if he was with us in the host-house.
Before I conclude, I must introduce criminal "hasan
al-kateb" to all:
hasan al-kateb: he came with king abdullah bin
hussein from Al-Hijaz131 when he invaded eastern
Jordan, and he worked as army officer under the
commandership of general john globe, and gradually
ascended in posts until he was assigned the general
marshal commander of jordan and king deputy in
West Bank. He was so criminal that he used to judge
tens of persons in one session in court and classify
them at random, and sentence them with various
rulings at random and as he wishes. It's said that he
had no father. He lived with no children and perished
in Al-Quds in 1967 in total dishonor, may Allah have
no mercy on him.
