مهرجان موازين وأمثاله من الفعاليات الماجنة

رقصٌ على جراح الأمة المكلومة

بمجرد الإعلان عن انعقاد مهرجان موازين في نسخته الـ19 ما بين 21 إلى 29 حزيران/يونيو 2024، ضجت مواقع التواصل الإلكتروني برسائل الاستنكار والغضب، وانتشر هاشتاج #لا_ترقص_على_جرح_إخوانك، وبدا واضحاً أن الغالبية العظمى من الناس ناقمة على الدولة التي تصر على عقد هذه الفعالية الماجنة في ظل ظرفين استثنائيين:

  • الحرب الدموية المجرمة على غزة، ومناظر القتل والأشلاء التي تتفطر لها قلوب الناس العاديين فضلاً عن المخلصين،
  • الضائقة المادية الشديدة التي تعصف بالناس في ظل موجة الغلاء التي أصابت كل شيء، وجعلت الفقر والضنك حالة مزمنة يكتوي بنيرانها الكل.

منذ بدء هذا المهرجان سنة 2001، وفي كل سنة كان ينعقد فيها، كانت الأصوات تتعالى مستنكرة الإنفاق الباذخ على التنظيم والأجور العالية التي تدفع إلى ما يسمى الفنانين [كشفت مصادر إعلامية أن أجر المغنية الأمريكية ماريا كاري التي شاركت في مهرجان 2012 بلغ 830 ألف دولار، في حين بلغ أجر المغنية الكولومبية شاكيرا 772 ألف دولار (مقابل وصلة غنائية لمدة 30 دقيقة)، وبلغ أجر المغني البريطاني إلتون جون 594 ألف دولار، وذلك في دورات سابقة من المهرجان]، وفي كل مرة، كان المسؤولون إما يتهربون من الإجابة أو يدعون أن داعمي المهرجان هم من القطاع الخاص، وأن الإنفاق لا يتم من المال العام. ولكن الكل يعلم أن جزءاً كبيراً من الإنفاق هو قطعاً من المال العام، وأن حتى مساهمات القطاع الخاص إنما هي نتيجة للضغط الذي تمارسه الدولة على هذه الشركات، ولو خُيِّروا لما فعلوا، أو على الأقل ليس بهذا السخاء.

وفي هذا العام، وأمام هذا الارتفاع الصاروخي للأسعار ولتكلفة المعيشة، كان آخر ما ينتظره الناس أن يروا أموالهم تدفع في هذه التفاهات، ففي وقت ارتفعت أسعار المواد الغذائية بما يقارب الضعف أو يزيد، والحديث دائر عن رفع ثمن قنينة الغاز، كان المفروض أن تكون الدولة أحرص ما يكون على أي درهم بيدها، وألا يُنفق إلا فيما يجدي نفعاً، أو يفرج عن مكروب.

هذا عن غلاء الأسعار، أما أحداث غزة، فليس من أحد إلا وقلبه يتفطّر لمناظر دماء إخواننا وأشلائهم المتناثرة. إن ذوي الفطر السليمة يتحرجون من المتع المباحة، ومن تناول أبسط الأطعمة، بل ومن مجرد النوم على فراش مريح، وهم يرون إخوانهم لا يأمنون على أنفسهم، ولا يجدون كسرة خبز يسدون بها جوعتهم، فكيف تطيب نفسٌ بالرقص والغناء والتمايل؟! وكيف تطيب نفوس من يشاركون في تنظيم هذا وهو يبذرون أموال الأمة، ويهيئون لأبنائها لهوا محرماً يغرقهم في الإثم ويصرفهم عما خلقوا له؟

إن المتابع للأمر لا بد أن يستغرب إصرار الدولة على عقد هذا المهرجان 19 مرة في ظل هذا الاستنكار الشعبي الواسع له، فماذا تجني الدولة منه؟ وما هو هذا الهدف الاستراتيجي الذي يجعلها تفضل الاستمرار في عقد المهرجان والإنفاق عليه بسخاءٍ حتى وإن أدى إلى استعداء الناس؟

والسبب يعود في نظرنا إلى الأمور التالية:

  • مسؤولو الدولة في وادٍ، والأمة في وادٍ آخر. أما من حيث الإحساس بوطأة الفقر وغلاء المعيشة فمعظمهم نتيجة ارتفاع أجورهم واتساع امتيازاتهم لم تلسعهم نيران غلاء المعيشة إلا لماماً. وأما من حيث التفاعل مع أحداث غزة، فحتى من يحنّ لحالهم مقتنع أنه لا يملك لهم شيئاً، وأن عقد المهرجان أو إلغاءه لن يغير شيئاً في أوضاعهم، فَلِمَ الإلغاء إذن؟
  • معظم مسؤولي الدولة غربيو الهوى، فهم يستمتعون فعلاً بحضور هؤلاء المغنين، لذلك فهم يُحضرونهم لمتعهم الشخصية، ويستغلون تحكمهم في هذه الميزانيات لإرضاء نزواتهم،
  • إلهاء الناس غاية استراتيجية مقدسة، تنفق الدولة عليها بسخاء، وتُجلب على ذلك بخيلها ورجلها، فأي نشاط تافه غير منتج ويستطيع جذب أكبر عدد من الناس هو نشاطٌ مُرحَّبٌ به، بدءاً من مباريات كرة القدم والزخم الفظيع الذي يحيط بها، ومهرجانات الضحك والمسابقات والمهرجانات الغنائية ومسابقات الطبخ، والمهرجانات السينمائية ومهرجانات الرقص، وانتشار ظاهرة المؤثرين الساقطين في وسائل التواصل الإلكتروني،... والقاسم المشترك بين هذه كلها هو التفاهة وقتل الجدية في نفوس الناس وإشغالهم بالسفاسف. إن صرف الناس عن الاهتمام بالدين والاشتغال بالسياسة، بل وبالعلم النافع هو هدف استراتيجي، لأن ارتفاع مستوى الجدية عند الناس سيوصلهم بسرعة إلى الوقوف على مدى فساد حكامهم وضرورة العمل على تغييرهم، وهذا أخشى ما تخشاه الأنظمة.
  • إفساد الذوق العام ونشر الفاحشة وتجريء الناس على الاستهتار بالأحكام الشرعية هدف مقصود. إن الحرب على الإسلام وأفكاره ومقاييسه لم تعد سراً ولا أمراً خافياً، فالقاصي والداني يعلم ذلك ويقف عليه واقعاً وأثراً بشكل عملي. ولو لم يكن لهذا المهرجان إلا تشجيع الاختلاط المحرم، وتشجيع المجون، والاستهتار بحرمة الأعراض فإن هذا يكفي لإدخاله في أجندة النظام. تسير الدولة في هذا المخطط منذ زمن، وتسلك في ذلك دروباً متعددة (أحدها التغيير المرتقب لمدونة الأحوال الشخصية)، وتهدف من وراء ذلك بشكل واضح إلى صرف الناس عن اتخاذ الإسلام مقياساً لأعمالهم وجعلهم يتبنون فكرة الحريات بدلاً عنه وتحويل مفهوم السعادة عندهم من كونه نوال رضوان الله إلى جعله هو الانغماس في المتع والشهوات الجسدية، وكل هذا كي تسهل تغلغل العلمانية في نفوس الناس حتى توصلهم إلى مستوى لا يرون فيه أي حرج أن تكون كل القوانين المنظمة لتفاصيل حياتهم مستنبطة من خارج الشرع.
  • مخطط الإفساد الذي تندرج تحته أمثال هذه المهرجانات ليس عملاً محلياً نابعاً من بنات أفكار المسؤولين عندنا، وإنما هو مخطط عالمي عابر للحدود تقف وراءه جهات أمريكية وأوروبية نافذة، ويستهدف المسلمين بشكل خاص، بوصفهم آخر عقبة تقف في وجه الفكر الغربي العلماني بعد أن انهارت كل المبادئ والمجتمعات أمامه شرقاً وغرباً. نعم، لم يعد للفكر الغربي من عدو فكري يصارعه إلا مبدأ الإسلام، ويدرك الغرب أنه لا يقوى على هزيمة هذا الفكر العقائدي، لهذا هو يتجنب منابذته في ساحة الفكر لأنه سيكون هو الخاسر حتماً، وبدل ذلك يلتف عليه عن طريق صرف الناس عنه إلى الشهوات.

هذه هي أسباب إصرار الدولة على هذا المهرجان وأمثاله، وهي أسباب كلها ليس للخير والصلاح والحكمة فيها أدنى نصيب، وكلها تدل على أن حكامنا يتآمرون علينا مع أعدائنا، وأنهم ليسوا منا وإن تكلموا بألسنتنا وعاشوا بيننا، فهم بين منضبع بفكر الغرب تابع له، وبين مستفيد راتع فيما حرم الله.

أما الحل، فما نخاله عاد يخفى على أحد؛ خلافة راشدة على منهاج النبوة على أنقاض هؤلاء، تجتثُّهم من جذورهم، وتُحِلُّ محلهم رجالاً، يحبون الله ورسوله، ويحبهم الله ورسوله، يُحَكِّمون شرع الله ويُبطلون ما سواه.

واعلموا أن الأمر ليس أماني وأحلام يقظة تداعب الخيال، وإنما وعد الله ورسوله، يؤيده واقع محسوس يتجسد في عمل حزب جدي لم ينقطع عن العمل في الأمة ومن خلالها منذ عقود، ففتح الله له قلوب الناس، حتى عاد صيت ثمرة عمله يملأ الآفاق، ويوشك الله أن يفتح له قريباً، قلوب أهل القوة والمنعة في الأمة، فيؤتي العمل أكله ويفرح المؤمنون بنصر الله، فأدركوا أنفسكم بالعمل معه قبل أن يفوت الأوان، قال تعالى: ﴿وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تُنفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَاثُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا يَسْتَوِي مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ أُوْلَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا مِن بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا وَكُلّاً وَعَدَ اللهُ الْحُسْنَى وَاللهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ﴾.

Do not be deceived by names, for the essence lies in actions, not lineage

Do not be deceived by names, for the essence lies in actions, not lineage

Every time we are presented with a "new symbol" with Muslim roots or Eastern features, many Muslims cheer, and hopes are built on an illusion called "political representation" in an infidel system that does not recognize Islam as a ruling system, a creed, or a law.

We all remember the overwhelming joy that swept through the feelings of many when Obama won in 2008. He is the son of Kenya, and he has a Muslim father! Here, some imagined that Islam and Muslims had become close to American influence, but Obama was one of the most harmful presidents to Muslims. He destroyed Libya, contributed to the tragedy of Syria, and ignited Afghanistan and Iraq with his planes and soldiers. Rather, he was the blood shedder in Yemen through his tools, and his era was a continuation of a systematic hostility against the nation.

Today, the scene is repeated, but with new names. Zohran Mamdani is celebrated because he is a Muslim, an immigrant, and a young man, as if he is the savior! But only a few look at his political and intellectual positions. This man is a strong supporter of homosexuals, participates in their activities, and considers their deviation a human right!

What a shame that people pin their hopes on this?! Wasn't it a repetition of the same political and intellectual disappointment that the nation has fallen into time and time again?! Yes, because it is captivated by appearance, not essence! Deceived by smiles, and deals with emotion, not creed, with names, not concepts, and with symbols, not principles!

This fascination with appearances and names is the result of the absence of legitimate political awareness, because Islam is not measured by origin, name, or race, but by commitment to the principle of Islam in its entirety; as a system, creed, and law. A Muslim who does not rule by Islam or support it has no value, but rather submits to the infidel capitalist system and justifies infidelity and deviations in the name of "freedom".

Let all Muslims who rejoiced in his victory and thought that he was a seed of good or the beginning of revival know that revival does not come from within systems of disbelief, nor with their tools, nor through their ballot boxes, nor under the ceiling of their constitutions.

Whoever presents himself through the democratic system, swears to respect its laws, then defends and celebrates homosexuality, and calls for what angers God, is not a supporter of Islam or a hope for the nation, but rather a tool for polishing and diluting, and a false representation that does not advance or delay anything.

The so-called political successes in the West for some personalities with Islamic names are nothing but crumbs presented as painkillers to the nation, to be told: Look, change is possible through our systems.

 So what is the reality of this "representation"?

The West does not open the doors of rule to Islam, but only opens them to those who identify with its values and ideas. Anyone who enters their system must accept their constitution and their man-made laws, and renounce the rule of Islam. If he agrees to that, he becomes an acceptable model, but the true Muslim is rejected by them from his roots.

So who is Zohran Mamdani? And why is this illusion being created?

He is a person who carries a Muslim name but adopts a deviant agenda that is completely contrary to the nature of Islam, from supporting homosexuals and promoting what is called their "rights". He is a living example of how the West makes its models: Muslim in name, secular in reality, a servant of the Western liberal agenda, nothing more. Rather, to distract the nation from its true path. Instead of demanding the state of Islam and the Caliphate, it is preoccupied with parliamentary seats and positions in systems of disbelief! Instead of heading to liberate Palestine, it waits for someone to "defend Gaza" from inside the American Congress or the European Parliament!

The truth of the matter is that this is a distortion of the true path of change, which is the establishment of the Rightly Guided Caliphate on the Prophetic method, which raises the banner of Islam, establishes the law of God, and unites the nation behind one Caliph who is fought from behind and feared.

So do not be deceived by names, and do not rejoice in those who belong to you in form and disagree with you in content, for not everyone who bears the name Saeed, Ali, or Zohran is on the path of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Know that change does not come from within the parliaments of disbelief, but from the armies of the nation that have come to move, and from its conscious youth who work day and night to turn the tables on the West and its aides and its treacherous followers in the lands of Islam and the Muslims.

Muslims will not rise through democratic elections or through Western ballot boxes, but through a real renaissance based on the Islamic creed, by establishing the Rightly Guided Caliphate that restores Islam's status, Muslims' dignity, and shatters the illusions of democracy.

Do not be deceived by names, and do not pin your hopes on individuals in systems of disbelief, but return to your great project: the resumption of Islamic life, for this alone is the path to glory, victory, and empowerment.

The scene is a humiliating repetition of old tragedies: false symbols, loyalty to Western regimes, and deviation from the path of Islam. Everyone who applauds this path is misleading the nation. Return to the Caliphate project, and do not let the enemies of Islam make your leaders and representatives for you. Glory is not in the seats of democracy, but in the saddle of the Caliphate, for which Hizb ut-Tahrir works and warns the nation against this intellectual and political decline. There is no salvation for us except with the state of the Caliphate, which does not allow Muslims to be ruled by those who profess a religion other than Islam, nor by those who justify deviance and perversion, nor by those who legislate for people other than what God has revealed.

Egypt Between Government Slogans and Bitter Reality: The Full Truth About Poverty and Capitalist Policies

Egypt Between Government Slogans and Bitter Reality

The Full Truth About Poverty and Capitalist Policies

Al-Ahram Gate reported on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, that the Egyptian Prime Minister, in a speech delivered on behalf of the President at the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar, said that Egypt is implementing a comprehensive approach to eliminate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including "multidimensional poverty."

For years, official speeches in Egypt have rarely been devoid of phrases such as "a comprehensive approach to eliminating poverty" and "the real launch of the Egyptian economy." Officials repeat these slogans at conferences and events, accompanied by glossy images of investment projects, hotels, and resorts. But the reality, as evidenced by international reports, is quite different. Poverty in Egypt remains a deeply rooted, and even worsening, phenomenon, despite repeated government promises of improvement and renaissance.

According to reports by UNICEF, ESCWA, and the World Food Programme for 2024 and 2025, about one in five Egyptians lives in multidimensional poverty, meaning they are deprived of more than one aspect of basic life, such as education, health, housing, work, and services. The data also confirms that more than 49% of families suffer from difficulties in obtaining sufficient food, a shocking figure that reflects the depth of the living crisis.

As for financial poverty, i.e., low income compared to the costs of living, it has risen sharply as a result of successive waves of inflation that have eroded people's wages, efforts, and savings, until a large percentage of Egyptians are below the financial poverty line despite their constant work.

While the government talks about initiatives such as "Takaful and Karama" and "Decent Life," international figures reveal that these programs have not radically changed the structure of poverty, but have been limited to temporary palliatives similar to a drop poured into the desert. The Egyptian countryside, where more than half of the population lives, still suffers from poor services, a lack of decent job opportunities, and dilapidated infrastructure. The ESCWA report confirms that deprivation in the countryside is several times greater than in the cities, which indicates poor distribution of wealth and chronic neglect of the peripheries.

When the Prime Minister thanks the citizen "who has endured with the government the measures of economic reform," he is in fact acknowledging the existence of real suffering resulting from these policies. However, this acknowledgment is not followed by a change in approach, but rather a continuation on the same capitalist path that caused the crisis.

The alleged reform that began in 2016 with the "floatation" program, raising subsidies, and increasing taxes, was not a reform but rather a burdening of the poor with the cost of debts and deficits. At a time when officials are talking about "the launch," huge investments are going to luxury real estate and tourism projects that serve the owners of capital, while millions of young people find no opportunities for work or housing. Indeed, many of these projects, such as the Alam El Roum area in Matrouh, whose investments are estimated at $29 billion, are foreign capitalist partnerships that acquire land and wealth and turn them into a source of profit for investors, not a source of livelihood for the people.

The regime fails not only because it is corrupt, but because it follows a false intellectual basis, which is the capitalist system, which makes money the focus of all state policies. Capitalism is based on absolute freedom of ownership, and allows the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few who own the means of production, while the many bear the burden of taxes, prices, and public debt.

Therefore, all so-called "social protection programs" are merely an attempt to beautify the brutal face of capitalism, and to prolong the life of an unjust system that takes into account the rich and collects from the poor. Instead of addressing the root of the disease; i.e., the monopoly of wealth and the dependence of the economy on international institutions, it is sufficient to distribute crumbs of cash aid, which do not alleviate poverty or preserve dignity.

Care is not a favor from the ruler to the ruled, but a legitimate duty, and a responsibility for which God will hold him accountable in this world and the hereafter. What is happening today is a deliberate neglect of people's affairs, and an abandonment of the duty of care in favor of conditional loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

The state has become an intermediary between the poor and the foreign creditor, imposing taxes, reducing subsidies, and selling public property to cover a swollen deficit created by the capitalist system itself. In all of this, the legitimate concepts that regulate the economy are absent, such as the prohibition of usury, the prevention of the ownership of public wealth by individuals, and the obligation to spend on the people from the treasury of the Muslims.

Islam has presented an integrated economic system that addresses poverty at its roots, not just with cash support or cosmetic projects. This system is based on fixed legitimate foundations, the most prominent of which are:

1- Prohibiting usury and usurious debts that shackle the state and drain its resources. By eliminating usury, the dependence of the economy on international institutions will disappear, and the financial sovereignty of the nation will be restored.

2- Making ownership three types:

Individual ownership: such as houses, shops, and private farms...

Public ownership: includes major wealth such as oil, gas, minerals, and water...

State ownership: such as fay' lands, rikaz, and kharaj...

With this distribution, justice is achieved, as a small group is prevented from monopolizing the nation's resources.

3- Guaranteeing sufficiency for every individual of the people: The state guarantees for every person in its care their basic needs of food, clothing, and housing. If they are unable to work, the treasury must spend on them.

4- Zakat and mandatory spending: Zakat is not a charity, but an obligation, collected by the state and spent in its legitimate channels for the poor, the needy, and the debtors. It is an effective distribution tool that returns money to the cycle of life in society.

Along with stimulating productive work and preventing exploitation, and urging investment of resources in real beneficial projects such as heavy and military industries, not in speculation, luxury real estate and fictitious projects. In addition to adjusting prices with real supply and demand, not with monopoly or floatation.

The Khilafah state on the method of Prophethood is the only one capable of applying these provisions practically, because it is built on the basis of Islamic creed, and its goal is to care for people's affairs, not to collect their money. Under the Khilafah, there is no usury or conditional loans, and no sale of public wealth to foreigners, but resources are managed in a way that achieves the interest of the nation, and the treasury finances health care, education, and public facilities from state resources, kharaj, anfal, and public property.

As for the poor, their basic needs are guaranteed individually, not through temporary charity but as a guaranteed legitimate right. Therefore, fighting poverty in Islam is not a political slogan, but an integrated system of life that establishes justice, prevents injustice, and returns wealth to its people.

Between the official discourse and the lived reality is a huge distance that is not hidden from anyone. While the government boasts of its "giant" projects and the "real launch," millions of Egyptians live below the poverty line, suffering from high prices, unemployment, and a lack of hope. The truth is that this suffering will not disappear as long as Egypt continues on the path of capitalism, surrendering its economy to usurers and submitting to the policies of international institutions.

The crises and problems of Egypt are human problems and not material ones, and they relate to legitimate rulings that show how to deal with them and treat them on the basis of Islam, and the solutions are easier than turning a blind eye, but they need a sincere administration that has a free will that wants to walk in the right path and truly wants good for Egypt and its people, and then this administration must review all the contracts that were previously concluded and that are concluded with all the companies that monopolize the assets of the country and what is of its public ownership, and at the forefront are companies exploring for gas, oil, gold and the rest of the minerals and wealth, and expel all those companies because they are originally colonial companies plundering the wealth of the country, then formulate a new covenant based on enabling people to access the country's wealth and establishing or leasing companies that are based on producing wealth from the sources of oil, gas, gold and other minerals and redistribute these wealth to the people again, then people will be able to cultivate the dead land that the state will enable them to exploit with their right in it, and they will also be able to manufacture what must be manufactured to raise the economy of Egypt and suffice its people, and the state will support them in this way, and all this is not a figment of the imagination or impossible to happen or a project that we present for experimentation that may succeed or fail, but it is legitimate rulings that are necessary and binding on the state and the people, so the state may not give up the wealth of the country that is owned by the people under the pretext of contracts approved and supported by unjust international laws, and it may not prevent people from it, but it must cut off every hand that extends plundering to the wealth of the people, this is what Islam offers and must be implemented, but it is not applied in isolation from the rest of the systems of Islam, but it is only applied through the Rashidun Khilafah state on the method of Prophethood, this state whose concern and call for is carried by Hizb ut-Tahrir and calls on Egypt and its people, people and army, to work with it for its sake, may God write the conquest from Him, so we see it a reality that honors Islam and its people, O God, sooner rather than later.
