About This Book
False Caliphate: A Critical Analysis of Hizb ut-Tahrir's Political and Creedal Views, by Wasim Ismail, examines the ideology of Hizb ut-Tahrir. It is an expanded version of the author's master's thesis.
The book begins from the confusion around the concept of the Khilafah and notes that several political movements have been founded to restore it. It then sets out the pillars of Hizb ut-Tahrir's ideology and weighs them against the Qur'an, the authentic Sunnah, and the explanations of classical scholars, citing the group's own books directly. The author's goal is to help readers understand how such movements view the world and judge them for themselves.
