10 u A Warm Call from Hizb ut-Tahrir to the Muslims
of the Messenger :
"Indeed, actions are judged according to the intentions." They
also claimed that Islam came with general freedoms and ordered people
to adhere to them, and that Islam is the religion of freedom. They
proceeded like the Christians before them by saying that the spiritual
aspect is the spirit as opposed to the body, and that man is composed of
matter and spirit. So the spirit should not dominate the body and the
body should not dominate the spirit. In this manner they became
confused and bewildered before the Kuffar’s challenge. They did not
study problems in order to derive solutions or to study the rules in the
Kitab and Sunnah. Rather they adopted the West's solutions to these
problems wholeheartedly. Muslims then accepted them as Islamic
solutions on the basis that Islam does not forbid them. Some adopted
them on the basis of the opinion of al-Masaalih al-Mursalah as held by
certain Imams, and not according to what the Qur'an and Hadith had
brought. The Capitalist rules were therefore introduced by claiming them
to be from Islam. It was inevitable that the laws in society and the
societal transactions (Mu’amalat) of the Muslims would proceed without
any regard for whether they were Islamic or not. Thus the Capitalist
rules became established and Islam was forgotten. This facilitated the
changing of the common emotions as long as it was easy to change the
thoughts. Thus aversion to the strict adherence to the rules of Islam
became widespread because the people considered it as religious
fanaticism. Then the aversion moved to encompass the discrimination
between the Muslims and the Kuffar, and between Islam and other
religions. The concept of 'nationalism' came to stir the emotions and
the Islamic zeal was buried. Thus, showing anger towards any attack on
the Qur'an came to be seen as a sign of backwardness and decline. This
is because, in their view, this assault constituted impartial scholarly
research. With this the Islamic sentiments were wiped out. Nothing
remained of the Islamic emotions except the priestly emotions, the
emotions of worship. This was the shocking defeat that the Muslims
faced before the Capitalist system's contest with Islam. This would
almost have been a defeat for Islam, if the Islamic thoughts that were
attacked were not in fact correct and true, rather false as the attackers
described them; and on the other side, the attacking Capitalist thoughts
were not false, as they described them, but even true and agreed with the

reality. This would have also been the case if the Islamic emotions, which
were attacked, were not fit for man in the sense that they are emotions
that contradict the sublime values and nature of man. If this were the
case, then the defeat would not have been restricted to the Muslims only,
as regards the thoughts they carry, the relationships according to which
they deal with one another, and the political situation. Rather this defeat
would have led to the eradication of Islam from intellectual and
emotional existence in the same way as it was removed from political
existence. However, the reality is contrary to that, for the defeat before
the Capitalist system's crusade against Islam was a defeat of Muslims and
not of Islam. That is why the factors of waging the attack again against
the Capitalist system and Kufr still exist the same way they existed when
they defeated Kufr and Kuffar. These factors are the thoughts and
emotions of Islam. This is what gives reason for hope and reminds us of
the days of victory, instigates the revival, moves the human disposition
(FiTrah) and makes the return to carrying the Islamic Da’wah to the
world an impending reality and not just a desire and yearning.
As for the thoughts of Islam being the only true and correct thoughts,
and the Capitalist aggressor's thoughts being false and untrue, this is
proven from the reality of the thoughts themselves. Thus, the Capitalist
thoughts that consider polygamy a mistake, while considering it correct
to restrict the man to one wife, are solutions applied to the reality of
the human being and not some logical hypotheses. So where exists a
society in the world, in which there is no more than one woman for a
man There is no society in the world where there aren't at least some
men who have more than one wife. However, some of them call their
partners mistresses or girlfriends and some of them call them wives. Do
the rules allowing polygamy, which leave the choice for a man to practise
it or leave it, thus making the second, third or fourth woman a legally
recognised wife and not a mistress or girlfriend, do they agree with the
natural disposition (FiTrah) of man and address the problem Or do the
rules that prohibit polygamy agree with the natural disposition (FiTrah)
of man and solve the problem This is particularly when they remain
silent at having relations with more than a woman illegally,. since it is not
allowed more than one. Or is making the living together of spouses one
of companionship and choice:
