List of Mutabannat Books: Treasury of Hizbut Tahrir Thought
“So ask the people of knowledge if you do not know.” (QS. An-Nahl: 43)
In a great stride of struggle, unity of thought is the soul that unites every step. Without similarity of vision, a group will easily waver like twigs battered by strong winds.
This is the importance of Official Reference Books (Al-Kitab Al-Mutabanna), a collection of scholarly works officially adopted as the curriculum and reference for every Hizbut Tahrir da’wah carrier in understanding Islam deeply and practically. Having the same curriculum ensures that every da’wah carrier has a uniform understanding, so the struggle proceeds in one solid direction.
This page presents a complete list of these books, brief profiles of their authors, and direct download links (PDF) for both the Indonesian translation and the original Arabic texts.
