Hizb ut-Tahrir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Hizb ut-Tahrir (Arabic: ﺣﺰﺏ ﺍﻟﺘﺤﺮﻳﺮ; meaning Party of Liberation) is an an independent Islamist political party. The organization was founded by Taqiuddin al-Nabhani, a religious judge (qadi) of Jerusalem (al-Quds) in 1953. Hizb ut-Tahrir claim to be dedicated to the re-establishment of the Khilafah state, and the removal of what the organization consider to be Imperialistic non-Islamic control of what they consider to be "the Muslim lands usurped by the Kuffar from the Muslims". According to Hizb ut-Tahrir, these influences include: non-Muslim military capacities, such as the US Armed Forces presence in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan; non-Islamic laws and legal concepts; and Muslim trust in non-Islamic thoughts (secularism, philosophy, and so forth).
