While political Islam means to maintain and manage public affairs with Islamic laws and resolved in accordance with Islamic Shari’a. Sirah Rasul saw and many verses of the Quran shows that the missionary activity which he is a political activity. He always take into consideration in all activities and maintain the affairs of society to conform to the laws of Allah revealed Personality. Among the political activities that he and his companions to do is:
A. Educating people with tsaqofah Islam so they can blend with Islam, so they are free from the broken faith, the wrong thinking, and of the misconceptions and the influence of ideas and views of Kufr. Every encounter with another person, the Prophet of Islam has always offered to them. He saw sent his companions to teach the Koran to people new to Islam.

Upheaval of thought that appeared in opposition to thought and Kufr system, thought wrong, broken faith, and a misguided understanding by explaining the damage, showing and explaining his mistake in the matter of Islamic law. In addition to the verses that have been described above, there are also verses that attack their idolatry, as God Almighty:
وجعلوا لله شركاء الجن وخلقهم وخرقوا له بنين وبنات بغير علم سبحانه وتعالى عما يصفون
“They (the idolaters) jin makes it as an ally to Allah while Allah, the jinn were created. They lie, by saying that God has a boys and girls, without basing it on science. Glory to God and Sovereign of the properties that they nisbatkan. (Surat al-An `am [6]: 100).
In the social field, God Almighty. among other things said:

“What do you give the form of usury for the purpose of adding property-human wealth does not add anything in the hand of God”. (Surat ar-Rum [30]: 39).
3. Opposition to the rulers who implement kufr law and dismantle their plots. Allah revealed this conspiracy to the Prophet. in his words:
إنه فكر وقدر% قتل كيف قدر% ثم قتل كيف قدر% ثم نظر% ثم عبس وبسر% ثم أدبر واستكبر% فقال إن هذا إلا سحر يؤثر% إن هذا إلا قول البشر% سأصليه سقر
“Indeed he was thought of and set. Woe to him, how he set? Woe to him, how does he set? Then he thought, then he frowned and scowled. He then turned away (from truth) and bragging. Then he said, “(Al-Quran) is nothing but magic is learned (from the ancients). This is nothing but the word of man. “I’ll put it in hell Saqar. (Surat al-Mudatstsir [74]: 18-26).
The leaders of Quraysh was also one by one stripped of their identity by Al Quran (see Mahmud Ahmad, Islamic Propagation, p 119-120). About Abu Lahab, Allah says:
تبت يدا أبي لهب وتب
“Perish the hands of Abu Lahab …” (Surah al-Lahab [111]: 1).

“Leave Me alone, for whom I have created alone. And I made him a lot of property. ” (Surah Al Muddattsir [74]: 11-12).
Against Abu Jahl, Allah says:
كلا لئن لم ينته لنسفعن بالناصية% ناصية كاذبة خاطئة
“You know, really if he does not stop We will drag top of his head, the crown of the deniers again lawlessness” (Surat al-’Alaq [96]: 15-16).
Based on this, in the present context, the political activities undertaken in an attempt application of Islamic law is a struggle and interact in the political field to dismantle the evil plans of the countries that have influence and domination in Muslim countries to liberate people from the shackles of colonialism and domination and pull out its roots both in the realm of thought, culture, politics, and military, as well as repeal their laws from Muslim countries. Also, make corrections to the authorities to reveal their treachery against the people and their conspiracy with the heathen nations, to criticize and control them. Hizb ut-Tahrir seeks to do its activities in accordance with the example of the Prophet. Therefore, the call is made to be thinking, political and non-violent.
