Hizb ut-Tahrir
Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international political organization founded in 1953 that advocates for the re-establishment of a unified Islamic caliphate—a government based on Islamic principles. It promotes the idea that Muslim societies should work toward uniting under a single Islamic state that applies Sharia law. The group emphasizes political activism and dialogue, rejecting violence as a means of achieving its goals. While it does not engage in armed conflict, some governments have banned Hizb ut-Tahrir due to concerns about its revolutionary rhetoric and its aim to transform political systems across Muslim-majority countries.
