Welcoming Al Raya Daily Paper … a Memory and Good News
Commendation be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon His family and associates and the individuals who tail Him…
Hizb ut Tahrir issued the first release of Al Raya daily paper on the twenty-eighth of Thul Qidah 1373 AH comparing to 28/07/1954 CE, the last issue, number 13, was issued on Wednesday 29 Safar 1374 AH relating to 27/10/1954 CE, as indicated by what we saw from the remaining Al Raya issues we have gotten. Along these lines the quantity of issues distributed are thirteen in number, a portion of the brothers were cited to say that the quantities of issues distributed were fourteen, it appears that there was an issue under planning for issuance when the Jordanian administration's choice came to close down the daily paper starting 28/10/1954 CE. It appears that the issue has been distributed after the decision, consequently there were fourteen issues in number, in spite of the fact that we have not yet seen this issue to be sure, but rather we will continue distribution of Al Raya daily paper from the fifteenth issue, to be safe, for the thought specified previously.
The al Raya daily paper was distributed in Amman from a little office close Al-Husseini Mosque, on Wednesday of every week, it was a week by week daily paper. The manager of Al Raya Newspaper was the prominent researcher Sheik Abdul Qadeem Zaloom, may Allah's leniency be upon him, who later turned into the second Ameer of the Islamic political party, the proofreader's secretary was Munir Shiqayr, and one of the editors as we learned was Brother Nabih Al Jaza'iri, whose center was the interpretation of critical matters of significance reported in daily papers and magazines distributed in English.
The al Raya daily paper was different from other daily papers, it didn't contain ads or representations or brightened pieces, however was announcing the haqq and proclaiming truth. The al Raya daily paper talked about the political circumstance and tended to it from the viewpoint of Islam; its four pages were sold for a penny and a half in those days, it was a pot flooding with its substance, loaded with what might advantage the people, it was utilized totally for the point of interest of the good and battling insidious, dreading nobody yet Allah.
The daily paper's weapon was the expression of truth, then again, it was overwhelming upon the oppressors, heavier than shells and rockets… Therefore the party, particularly its al Raya daily paper, when the regime restricted the law of lecturing and guidance which was proposed to keep the party's individuals and all the faithful from giving lessons in mosques, this law was issued by the Interior Minister on the requests of Glubb the Jordanian armed force officer at the time, when the party tested the law, the Jordan administration couldn't endure the effect of the expression of truth subsequently it dispatched capture campaigns against the party individuals, furthermore battled the daily paper and sought after its essayists, even the distributed issues of the daily paper did not get away from their arraignment, they were considered as criminal confirmation against those found to have them!… This is the way the daily paper was banned from production after the thirteenth's version on Wednesday, 29 Safar 1374 AH, comparing to 27/10/1954 CE as specified previously.
After that the party attempted to distribute the al Raya daily paper in Lebanon however was not able to do as such, so it employed the weekend version of one of the Lebanese-possessed daily papers of George Sa'adah. The party started writing in it under the name of "Al Hadara" and the length of time of the lease contract was six months, after the end of span the gathering asked for to replenish the agreement yet the proprietor won't, saying that the sum he got for the lease was not sufficient to pay for his taxi treks between the diverse Lebanese security administrations office and his home, on account of the complaints of the security offices to what was distributed in the daily paper! This was when Lebanon bragged of its freedom of expression and was brimming with daily papers from each course, however the administration was pestered with this week after week version, and they constrained the daily paper's proprietor to cross out the lease, and that is the thing that occurred after the six months…
At that point in the late fifties of the most recent century and the resulting years, the party endured abusive campaigns loaded with scorn and perniciousness against the party and its individuals. Subsequently the gathering relinquished its endeavors to distribute the daily paper and exploited its capacities accessible in other direct party work, particularly since the method for correspondence (online networking) were not accessible then as it is today, where it is conceivable to issue any daily paper through these methods without security inconvenience similar to the case beforehand. Thus the party proceeded with its typical Hizbi work of building the body of the party, making public opinion, and looking for the Nusra. In the nineties and past it included the media offices, then the show and broadcast television and the distinctive media locales profiting from cutting edge Internet advances that have helped in the foundation of web and broadcast, and the diverse destinations.
Concerning the resumption of the al Raya daily paper the party wanted to begin issuing it with the real declaration of the Khilafah, particularly that in the Hizb's recognition it was practically settled more than once, yet as Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:
لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ
“For every term is a decree”
(Qur'an Surat Ar-Ra’d: 38)
Despite the fact that the party was not fruitful in really making the Khilafah, but rather by the beauty of Allah it has succeeded in discovering a vigorous general sentiment for it, and it has turned into the interest of the Muslims, every one of them or the lion's share of them, and it appeared to be as though the Khilafah is built on a fundamental level. The Islamic Ideological Party chose to resume the issuance of the al Raya daily paper asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى that the distribution of the daily paper will be a sweet memory to the introductory production and happy news that conveys euphoria to the breasts of the fast approaching foundation of the Khilafah after it appears as though it is established in principle.
Taking everything into account, we have applied push to discover a few issues of the daily paper that survived the regimes' captures at the time i.e. prior to sixty years back, to pass on to the perusers some of what came in the issues that survived the foul play of such regimes. We discovered a couple of issues, including those which can be perused with trouble, and those tore separated from one another. One of the brothers who was keen on the procurement of those issues said that he kept duplicates of the daily paper, and as a consequence of mistreatment and provocation, which was completed by the regime against individuals from Hizb ut-Tahrir, he was compelled to conceal them in a rush in a place that didn't have the necessary protection for them, which created harm to the duplicates of the daily paper after those long years. Four news pieces of this al Raya daily paper some of what we can read from those previously stated issues:
1. On the first page of the eighth release of Wednesday, 24 Muharram 1374 AH relating to 23/09/1954 CE it highlighted an article under this title: “The most terrible crime that will be perpetrated by the Arab politicians … peace with “Israel” a heavy blow to the Islamic Ummah … the Ummah considers any settlement reached in the issue of Palestine as a major betrayal …”
The subtle elements of this news piece are long we may distribute them in the forthcoming issues, InshaAllah.
2. In the same issue, an article in the second page was highlighted under this title: “Egypt and military aid: WASHINGTON- the Egyptian military mission headed by Major General Mohamed Ibrahim, Chief of Staff of the Egyptian army, visited US Army Secretary Mr. Stevens and talks were held on the subject of American military aid to Egypt which held preliminary talks with the US ambassador Mr. Jefferson Caffery in Cairo and Egyptian officials.”

the head of the British delegation at the United Nations stated in
response to a question on the issue of Palestine in the press conference
by saying:
There will be no progress in relations between Jews and Arabs, only if the two teams agreed on steps to be taken in this way.

the advice of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم to Abu Zhar (ra), he said:
«أَوْصَانِي
خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخِصَالٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ…
وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ لَا أَخَافَ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَأَوْصَانِي
أَنْ أَقُولَ الْحَقَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرًّا وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُكْثِرَ
مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا كنز من
كنوز الجنة»
“Allah’s Khalil (friend) صلى
الله عليه وسلم advised me with good qualities … and advised me that I
must not fear anyone but Allah, he advised me to speak the truth though
it is bitter and he advised me to increase uttering: (la hawl wa la
quwata ila billah) that there is no power but from Allah, for it is one
of the treasures of Paradise.”
