Apabila Mustafa Kemal merasakan bahawa seluruh suasana menentangnya dan bahawa majoriti Dewan Negara juga menentangnya, dia memikirkan satu jalan keluar daripada kebuntuan kritikal ini. Keadaan tersebut tidak menguntungkan untuk menyambung semula persidangan damai di Lausanne, kerana keadaan itu tidak akan membenarkan pelaksanaan empat syarat yang digariskan oleh British, yang telah dijadikan syarat oleh Curzon, Setiausaha Luar British, bagi kejayaan persidangan tersebut. Oleh itu, adalah perlu baginya untuk mengambil tindakan yang akan membolehkannya memenuhi syarat-syarat ini. Adalah juga perlu untuk mendapatkan keputusan daripada Dewan Negara yang mengesahkan penubuhan Republik dan melantiknya sebagai Presiden Republik, serta mendapatkan keputusan yang mengesahkan penghapusan Khilafah sepenuhnya. Memandangkan majoriti Dewan Negara menentangnya dan kemungkinan kecil ia akan melaksanakan rancangannya atau bersetuju untuk meneruskan bersamanya, dia memikirkan untuk membubarkan Dewan Negara dan mengadakan pilihan raya baharu yang akan membolehkannya membawa masuk Dewan Negara yang baharu dari kalangan orang-orangnya sendiri, yang akan menyokongnya, melaksanakan cita-citanya dan mengesahkan resolusi yang dikehendakinya.

When Mustafa Kemal sensed that the whole atmosphere was against him and that the majority of the National Assembly was also against him, he thought of a way out from this critical impasse. These circumstances were not favourable to the resumption of the peace conference in Lausanne, for they would not allow the execution of the four conditions stipulated by the British which Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary, had made conditional for the success of the conference. Hence, it was imperative for him to undertake an action which would enable him to fulfil these conditions. It was also imperative to obtain a decision from the National Assembly endorsing the establishment of the Republic and electing him as President of the Republic, and to obtain a decision endorsing the total abolishment of the Khilafah. Since the majority of the National Assembly was against him and since it was unlikely that it would execute his plans or agree to proceed with him, he thought about dissolving the National Assembly and holding fresh elections which would enable him to bring a new National Assembly from among his own men, who would support him, execute his aspirations and endorse the resolutions he wanted.

Oleh itu, beliau berusaha membubarkan Dewan Negara dan mengadakan pilihan raya baharu, dengan harapan dapat memperoleh majoriti. Namun, Dewan yang terhasil daripada pilihan raya itu tetap menentangnya sama seperti dewan yang lama. Maka, beliau mengambil jalan merancang persekongkolan terhadap Dewan Negara bagi menimbulkan kekacauan dan menempatkannya dalam keadaan yang menimbulkan tanggapan bahawa ia tidak dapat berfungsi. Oleh itu, beliau melancarkan satu komplot politik untuk mencetuskan krisis dan mengeksploitasinya. Beliau menjemput para menteri makan malam di rumahnya di pinggir bandar Cankaya, dan semasa majlis itu mereka membincangkan status quo politik dari segala aspek. Kemudian, berdasarkan satu permintaan, keesokan harinya semua menteri meletakkan jawatan sesuai dengan apa yang telah mereka persetujui pada malam sebelumnya.

Hence, he endeavoured to dissolve the National Assembly and hold fresh elections, hoping to acquire a majority. However, the Assembly which the election produced was against him just like the old one. Thus, he resorted to plotting against the National Assembly in order to throw it into confusion and to place it in a position that would make it seem unable to function. Hence, he staged a political conspiracy in order to generate a crisis and exploit it. He invited the ministers to dinner at his house in the suburb of Cankaya during which they discussed the political status quo from all aspects. Then, on the basis of a request, the next day, all the ministers resigned in accordance to what they had agreed upon the night before.

Dewan Negara bersidang untuk membentuk kerajaan baharu, tetapi tidak dapat berbuat demikian, kerana perbalahan antara wakil-wakil rakyat semakin bertambah dan pertengkaran pun tercetus. Setiap wakil rakyat cuba memaksakan pendapatnya sendiri dan menjaga kepentingannya sendiri, sehingga keadaan akhirnya membawa kepada kekacauan yang menyeluruh.

The National Assembly convened in order to form the new government but it could not do so, for arguments between the deputies increased and quarrels broke out. Each deputy attempted to impose his own opinion and look after his own interests until the situation resulted in total chaos.

Dua hari kemudian, Mustafa Kemal mengadakan satu lagi jamuan makan malam untuk beberapa orang sahabat setianya, di antaranya Ismat, Fathi dan Kemal-ud-din. Mereka membincangkan krisis yang menimpa Dewan Perhimpunan Negara kerana kegagalannya mencapai persetujuan mengenai pembentukan kerajaan. Mereka bertukar-tukar pandangan mengenai keadaan itu, dan pada akhir perbincangan mereka, Mustafa Kemal berkata kepada mereka: sudah tiba masanya kita menamatkan kekacauan ini. Esok kita akan mengisytiharkan penubuhan Republik. Itulah penyelesaian kepada semua masalah ini. Oleh itu, engkau Fathi, rumitkanlah keadaan di dalam Dewan sebanyak yang boleh esok, supaya engkau dapat menghasut para wakil rakyat terhadap satu sama lain. Kemudian engkau Kemal-ud-din, cadangkanlah agar saya dijemput mengambil alih untuk menyelamatkan Dewan daripada krisisnya. Keesokan harinya, setiap orang mula melaksanakan apa yang telah mereka persetujui. Dewan bersidang dan perdebatan yang hingar tercetus. Para wakil rakyat hampir bergaduh secara fizikal. Di tengah-tengah kekecohan besar di antara para wakil itu, Kemal-ud-din mencadangkan agar Mustafa Kemal dijemput untuk membentuk kerajaan. Para wakil bersetuju dan melupakan segala perselisihan mereka dengannya. Namun, Mustafa Kemal pada mulanya menolak permintaan mereka. Maka, mereka menghantar kepadanya mesej baharu yang mengakui kegagalan Dewan dalam menyelesaikan krisis kerajaan dan memohon bantuannya. Lalu, beliau menetapkan bahawa Dewan Perhimpunan Negara mesti menerima pandangannya tanpa sebarang perbincangan jika mereka mahu beliau membentuk kerajaan, dan mereka bersetuju.

Two days later, Mustafa Kemal hosted another dinner party for some of his loyal friends, among whom were Ismat, Fathi and Kemal-ud-din and they talked about the crisis into which the National Assembly had fallen due to its failure to agree upon the formation of a government. They exchanged their views about the situation and at the end of their discussion Mustafa Kemal addressed them by saying: “it is high time we put an end to this mess. Tomorrow we are going to declare the establishment of the Republic. It is the solution to all these problems. Therefore, you Fathi complicate matters in the Assembly as much as you can tomorrow, so you will incite the deputies against each other. Then you Kemal-ud-din will propose that I should be invited to take control in order to save the Assembly from its crisis.” The next day, every one set about carrying out what they had agreed upon. The Assembly convened and noisy arguments broke out. The deputies came close to fighting each other physically. Amidst this huge uproar between the deputies, Kemal-ud-din suggested inviting Mustafa Kemal to form the government. The deputies agreed and forgot all their differences with him. However, Mustafa Kemal turned down their request at first. Thus, they sent him a new message in which the Assembly admitted its failure in solving the governmental crisis and requested his help. Hence, he stipulated that the National Assembly should accept his opinion without any discussion if they wanted him to form the government to which they agreed.

Pada 29 Oktober 1923, Dewan Negara (Majlis Nasional Besar) mengadakan satu mesyuarat penting, dan Mustafa Kemal naik ke pentas lalu menyampaikan ucapan yang mengisytiharkan penukaran Turki menjadi sebuah republik. Untuk memetik ucapannya:

On 29th October 1923, the National Assembly held an important meeting and Mustafa Kemal took to the platform and delivered a speech in which he declared turning Turkey into a republic. To quote from his speech:

Anda telah memanggil saya supaya saya dapat menyelamatkan keadaan pada saat yang genting ini.

“You have sent for me so I could salvage the situation at this critical time.

Namun, krisis ini adalah akibat perbuatan kalian sendiri. Asal-usul krisis ini bukan perkara yang sepintas lalu, melainkan kesalahan mendasar dalam sistem pemerintahan kita. Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat menjalankan fungsi kekuasaan legislatif dan kekuasaan eksekutif sekaligus. Setiap wakil rakyat di antara kalian harus ikut campur dalam setiap keputusan pemerintah yang diambil, dan turut campur di setiap jabatan pemerintahan serta setiap keputusan menteri. Wahai tuan-tuan! Tidak ada menteri yang dapat menunaikan tanggung jawabnya dan menerima jabatan dalam keadaan seperti itu. Hendaklah kalian menyadari bahwa pemerintahan yang dibangun di atas dasar seperti ini mustahil untuk didirikan, dan jika pun didirikan, ia bukanlah pemerintahan melainkan anarki. Kita harus mengubah keadaan yang ada ini. Oleh karena itu, saya telah memutuskan bahwa Turki harus menjadi republik dengan presiden yang dipilih. Para wakil rakyat tercengang dengan keputusan yang mengejutkan ini hingga mereka terdiam, karena mereka tidak menduganya. Ketika pemungutan suara berlangsung, kurang dari 40% wakil rakyat ikut serta. Meski demikian, dekret yang telah disiapkan sebelumnya, yang menetapkan bahwa Turki harus diubah menjadi republik, disetujui, dan Mustafa Kemal dipilih sebagai presiden pertama Republik Turki. Kemudian ia mulai berupaya menghapuskan Khilafah dan mendeklarasikan sekularisasi negara. Rakyat merasakan gerak-geriknya, dan opini publik mulai menyerangnya.

However, the crisis is of your own doing. The origin of this crisis is not a passing matter, but rather a fundamental error in the system of our government. The National Assembly is undertaking the function of the legislative power and the executive power at the same time. Every deputy from amongst you must interfere in every government resolution being adopted and stick his fingers in every governmental department and every ministerial decision. Sirs! No minister can fulfil his responsibility and accept the post under such circumstances. You ought to realise that a government built upon such a basis would be impossible to establish, and if it were established, it would not be a government but an anarchy. We ought to change this status quo. Therefore, I have decided that Turkey should become a republic with an elected president.” The deputies were stunned by this horrific decision and they became speechless, for they were not expecting it. When the voting took place, fewer than 40% of the deputies took part. Nonetheless, the decree that had been prepared beforehand, stipulating that Turkey should be turned into a republic was approved and Mustafa Kemal was elected as the first president of the Turkish republic. Then he embarked upon working towards abolishing the Khilafah and declaring the secularisation of the state. People sensed his moves and public opinion started to attack him.

Berita tersebar di seluruh negeri bahawa pemerintah baharu Ankara adalah kafir. Para pemidato dan pendakwah mula menyerang Mustafa Kemal. Risalah-risalah dan kartun yang menyerangnya dengan hebat turut diedarkan. Kemudian ramai daripada wakil rakyat dan tokoh terkemuka mula meninggalkan Ankara dan menuju ke Istanbul untuk berkumpul di sekeliling Khalifah Abdul-Majid. Suasana di seluruh Turki berbalik menentangnya. Sebagai tindak balas, beliau mula berusaha memenangi sokongan dan dengan itu cuba meredakan serangan tersebut.

The word was spread everywhere that the new rulers of Ankara were Kuffar. The orators and preachers started to attack Mustafa Kemal. Leaflets and caricatures which attacked him fiercely were distributed. Then many of the deputies and prominent figures started to leave Ankara and headed towards Istanbul to rally around the Khaleefah Abdul-Majid. The atmosphere throughout the whole of Turkey turned against him. In response, he started to try to win over supporters and thereby alleviate the onslaught.

Dalam keadaan status quo sebegini, British membekalkan beliau dengan satu senjata untuk digunakan terhadap mereka yang setia kepada Khilafah. Pada kemuncak kempen menentangnya, dua pemimpin Muslim India, Agha Khan dan Amir Ali, menghantar surat bantahan bagi pihak umat Islam India, menuntut agar maruah Khaleefah Uthmaniyyah, Khaleefah kaum Muslimin, dihormati. Agha Khan ialah ketua mazhab Ismaili, dan diketahui di Turki serta tempat-tempat lain bahawa beliau ialah sahabat British dan ejen mereka. Oleh itu, surat tersebut telah disiarkan dalam akhbar Istanbul sebelum ia sampai ke kerajaan Ankara. Kemudian Mustafa Kemal mula menyelidiki latar belakang Agha Khan. Beliau menekankan hakikat bahawa Agha Khan tinggal di Britain, menjalankan kuda-kudanya di gelanggang lumba kuda British dan bergaul dengan ahli politik dan duta British. Beliau menegaskan bahawa British telah mengangkat statusnya melalui jentera propaganda mereka semasa Perang Dunia sehingga beliau dianggap sebagai pemimpin umat Islam India, supaya mereka dapat menggunakannya untuk mengugut Sultan Turki apabila perlu; maka beliau adalah boneka British.

Amidst such a status quo, the British supplied him with a weapon to use against those who were devoted to the Khilafah. At the height of the campaign against him, the two Indian Muslim leaders Agha Khan and Amir Ali sent a letter of protest on behalf of India’s Muslims, demanding that the dignity of the Ottoman Khaleefah, the Khaleefah of the Muslims should be respected. Agha Khan was the leader of the Ismaeli sect, and it was known in Turkey and other parts that he was a friend of the British and their agent. Hence, the letter was published in the Istanbul press before it reached the Ankara government. Then Mustafa Kemal started to dig into Agha Khan’s past. He highlighted the fact that he lived in Britain, that he ran his horses in the British race courses and mingled with the British politicians and ambassadors. He pointed out that the British had promoted his status through their propaganda machine during the World War until he was regarded as the leader of India’s Muslims so that they could use him to threaten the Sultan of Turkey whenever necessary; thus he was a British puppet.

Mustafa Kemal mula aktif dalam menyuarakan kata-kata yang tepat dan menghasut pendapat umum menentang Khalifah. Dia biasa berkata kepada orang ramai: Apabila Britain, musuh utama yang jahat, gagal memusnahkan Turki melalui Greece, dia kembali kepada tipu daya lamanya. Maka, dia mendorong boneka upahannya, Agha Khan, untuk menyokong Khalifah dan memecahkan Turki kepada dua kem. Kemudian dia mula mencetuskan semangat Dewan Negara, dan ini menyebabkan para pemidato dari kalangan wakil rakyat bergegas melancarkan serangan sengit terhadap Khilafah, para ulama dan pemimpin pembangkang. Mereka juga mengesahkan sebuah rang undang-undang yang menetapkan bahawa sebarang penentangan terhadap republik dan sebarang kecenderungan kepada Sultan yang telah digulingkan akan dianggap sebagai pengkhianatan yang dikenakan hukuman mati.

Mustafa Kemal became very active in striking the right note and inciting the public opinion against the Khaleefah. He used to say to people: “When Britain, the wicked arch enemy, failed to destroy Turkey through Greece, she resorted to her old tricks. Thus, she inspired her puppet Agha Khan to support the Khaleefah and split Turkey into two camps.” He then set about stirring up the fervour of the National Assembly and this led the orators from among the deputies to rush into launching a fierce attack against the Khilafah, the clerics and the opposition leaders. They also endorsed a bill enjoining the fact that any opposition to the republic and any inclination towards the deposed Sultan would be considered a treason that carries capital punishment.

Ketika sebahagian wakil rakyat menonjolkan kelebihan Khilafah dari sudut diplomatik, para penyokong Mustafa Kemal cuba membungkam mereka dengan menjerit, memekik dan membantah. Kemudian Mustafa Kemal bangun dan berkata: Bukankah kerana Khilafah, Islam dan para ulama-lah rakyat petani Turki telah berjuang dan kehilangan nyawa mereka selama lima abad? Sudah tiba masanya Turki menjaga kepentingannya sendiri, mengabaikan orang India dan orang Arab, dan menyelamatkan dirinya daripada beban memimpin negeri-negeri Islam. Kemudian beliau berusaha meneliti tentera dan mengetahui sejauh mana sokongan mereka terhadap penentangan mereka terhadap pemansuhan Khilafah dan pemisahan Deen daripada negara. Maka beliau menghadiri latihan ketenteraan tahunan berhampiran Izmir dan menghabiskan beberapa hari meninjau keadaan bersama Fawzi dan Ismet serta menyoal siasat pegawai berpangkat rendah dan askar. Beliau mendapati penentangan yang kuat dan gagal mencapai keputusan muktamad yang dapat menenangkan hatinya.

When some deputies highlighted the merits of the Khilafah from a diplomatic aspect, Mustafa Kemal’s supporters attempted to silence them by yelling and screaming and protesting. Then Mustafa Kemal stood up and said: “Was it not because of the Khilafah, Islam and the clerics that the Turkish peasants have fought and lost their lives for five centuries? It is high time Turkey attended to her interests, ignored the Indians and the Arabs and saved herself from the burden of leading the Islamic lands.” Then he sought to scrutinise the army and find out the extent of their support for their opposition to the abolishment of the Khilafah and the separation of the Deen from the state. So he attended the annual military manoeuvres near Izmir and spent days reviewing the situation with Fawzi and Ismet and probing the low ranking officers and soldiers. He found a strong opposition and failed to reach a conclusive outcome that reassured him.

Kemudian dia menghabiskan beberapa malam merenungkan perkara ini dari setiap sudut, dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk menempuh jalan keganasan. Mustafa Kamal memilih daripada Dewan seorang wakil pembangkang pada suatu hari ketika wakil itu menunjukkan bantahannya yang sengit dalam salah satu sidang, lalu memerintahkan seseorang untuk membunuhnya pada malam itu juga ketika dia pulang ke rumah. Seorang wakil lain menyampaikan ucapan yang menyokong Khalifah, maka Mustafa Kemal mengancamnya dengan digantung jika dia membuka mulut dengan perkara yang sama sekali lagi. Dia kemudian memanggil Rauf dari Istanbul dan memaksanya untuk mengangkat sumpah setia kepadanya dan kepada Republik di hadapan jawatankuasa pusat Parti Rakyat, dengan ancaman akan dipecat daripada parti dan daripada jawatankuasa jika dia gagal berbuat demikian. Dia juga menghantar perintah tegas kepada gabenor Istanbul, memerintahkannya untuk membatalkan protokol yang megah mengelilingi Khalifah semasa menunaikan solat; dia juga merendahkan kedudukan Khalifah ke tahap yang paling rendah dan memerintahkan para pengikutnya supaya meninggalkannya.

He then spent several nights pondering on the matter from every angle, finally deciding to resort to terrorism. Mustafa Kamal picked from the Assembly one of the opposing deputies on a day when he had shown his fierce opposition in one of the sessions, and ordered someone to assassinate him on the same night while he was returning home. Another deputy delivered a speech in which he supported the Khaleefah, so Mustafa Kemal threatened him with hanging if he opened his mouth with the same thing again. He then summoned Ra’uf from Istanbul and forced him to take the oath of allegiance to him and to the Republic before the central committee of the People’s Party, threatening him with dismissal from the party and from the committee if he failed to do so. He also sent a strict order to the governor of Istanbul, commanding him to cancel the pompous protocol surrounding the Khaleefah during the performance of prayer; he also lowered his standing to the lowest level and ordered his followers to abandon him.

Di tengah suasana ketakutan ini, serta propaganda dan khabar-khabar angin ini, Majlis Negara Agung telah menyeru untuk mengadakan mesyuarat. Maka, Majlis itu bersidang pada 1 Mac 1924. Ucapan perasmian menumpukan kepada keperluan untuk memusnahkan Khilafah. Ia disambut dengan bantahan sengit yang bertubi-tubi.

Amidst this atmosphere of terror, and this propaganda and rumours, the Greater National Assembly called for a meeting. Thus, the Assembly convened on 1st March 1924. The inaugural speech focused on the necessity to destroy the Khilafah. This was greeted with a barrage of fierce opposition.

Mustafa Kemal mengemukakan kepada Perhimpunan satu dekri yang memerintahkan penghapusan Khilafah, pengusiran Khalifah, dan pemisahan Deen daripada negara; kemudian beliau berucap kepada para wakil yang marah dengan berkata:

Mustafa Kemal put forward to the Assembly a decree enjoining the abolishment of the Khilafah, the expulsion of the Khaleefah and separating the Deen from the state; then he addressed the angry deputies by saying:

Kita mesti dengan apa cara sekalipun melindungi republik yang terancam ini dan membawanya bangkit di atas asas saintifik yang kukuh. Khalifah dan warisan Keluarga Uthmaniyyah mesti dihapuskan, mahkamah-mahkamah agama yang usang beserta undang-undangnya mesti digantikan dengan mahkamah dan undang-undang moden, dan sekolah-sekolah ulama mesti menyerahkan tempatnya kepada sekolah-sekolah kerajaan yang sekular. Perbahasan yang hangat berlaku dan pertelingkahan yang pahit tercetus, tetapi semua ini tidak membawa apa-apa hasil. Pada hari kedua, Dewan Negara Kebangsaan bersidang sekali lagi untuk meneliti dekri ini; sidang itu berterusan sepanjang malam hingga pukul 6.30 pagi dengan perbalahan yang sengit dan perbahasan yang tidak henti-henti.

“We must at all costs safeguard the endangered republic and make her rise upon solid scientific bases. The Khaleefah and the legacies of the “Ottoman Family” must go, the dilapidated religious courts and their laws must be replaced by modern courts and laws, and the clerics’ schools must concede their place to governmental secular schools.” Heated debates took place and bitter disputes broke out, but these came to nothing. On the second day, the National Assembly convened once more in order to review this decree; the session went on all night until 6.30 a.m. with fierce argument and unabated debate.

Pada pagi hari ketiga Mac 1924, diumumkan bahawa Dewan Besar Negara telah meluluskan penghapusan Khilafah dan pemisahan Deen daripada negara. Pada malam itu juga, Mustafa Kemal menghantar arahan kepada gabenor Istanbul yang menetapkan bahawa Khalifah Abdul-Majid mesti meninggalkan Turki sebelum fajar keesokan harinya. Maka beliau pergi bersama sebuah pasukan pengawal dari polis dan tentera ke istana Khalifah pada tengah malam, dan Khalifah dipaksa menaiki sebuah kereta yang membawanya melintasi sempadan menuju ke Switzerland, setelah beliau dibekalkan dengan sebuah beg pakaian yang mengandungi beberapa helai pakaian dan wang. Dua hari kemudian, Mustafa Kemal mengumpulkan semua putera dan puteri takhta dan menghalau mereka ke luar negara. Semua fungsi keagamaan dibatalkan, Awqaf (dana wakaf) kaum Muslimin menjadi milik negara, dan sekolah-sekolah agama diubah menjadi sekolah sivil di bawah naungan kementerian pendidikan.

In the morning of the third day of March 1924, it was announced that the Greater National Assembly had approved the abolishment of the Khilafah and the separation of the Deen from the state. On the same night, Mustafa Kemal sent an order to the governor of Istanbul stipulating that the Khalifah Abdul-Majid should leave Turkey before the dawn of the next day; so he went with a garrison from the police and the army to the Khaleefah’s palace in the middle of the night and the Khaleefah was forced to climb aboard a car that took him through the borders towards Switzerland, after he had been supplied with a suitcase containing some clothes and money. Two days later, Mustafa Kemal gathered all the throne’s princes and princesses and deported them outside the country. All religious functions were cancelled and the “Awqaf” (endowments) of the Muslims became the property of the state, and the religious schools were turned into civil schools under the auspices of the education ministry.

Dengan cara ini, Mustafa Kemal memenuhi empat syarat yang dituntut oleh Curzon, Setiausaha Luar British, dan halangan yang menghalang persidangan serta kejayaan persidangan damai itu tidak lagi wujud. Oleh itu, pada 8 Mac 1924, Ismet Pasha, menteri luar Turki dan ketua delegasi, menghantar surat kepada persidangan memohon agar rundingan disambung semula, dan pihak Berikat bersetuju. Pada 23 April 1924, persidangan itu dibuka semula dan para perunding bersetuju ke atas syarat-syarat damai. Perjanjian Lausanne ditandatangani pada 24 Julai 1924. Negara-negara tersebut mengiktiraf kemerdekaan Turki, British mengosongkan Istanbul dan selat-selat itu, dan Harrington meninggalkan Turki. Akibatnya, salah seorang Ahli Parlimen British membantah Curzon di Dewan Rakyat kerana mengiktiraf kemerdekaan Turki. Curzon menjawabnya dengan berkata: Perkara yang dipertikaikan ialah Turki telah dihancurkan dan tidak akan bangkit lagi, kerana kita telah menghancurkan kuasa rohaninya: Khilafah dan Islam. Beginilah Khilafah dihancurkan. Ia dimusnahkan sepenuhnya, dan Islam juga dihancurkan sebagai perlembagaan negara, sebagai sumber perundangan bagi Ummah, dan sebagai cara hidup. Semua ini berlaku di tangan British melalui sekutu dan ejen mereka, Mustafa Kemal yang khianat.

In this way, Mustafa Kemal fulfilled the four conditions which Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary had demanded, and the impediment preventing the convening and the success of the peace conference no longer existed. Hence on 8th March 1924, Ismet Pasha Turkey’s foreign minister and head of the delegation, sent a letter to the conference requesting the resumption of negotiations, and the Allies agreed. On 23rd April 1924, the conference was reconvened and the conferees agreed upon the peace terms. The Lausanne Treaty was signed on 24th July 1924. The states recognised Turkey’s independence, Britain evacuated Istanbul and the straits and Harrington left Turkey. Consequently, one of the British MPs protested against Curzon in the House of Commons for recognising Turkey’s independence. Curzon answered him by saying: “The point at issue is that Turkey has been destroyed and shall never rise again, because we have destroyed her spiritual power : the Khilafah and Islam.” This is how the Khilafah was destroyed. It was completely destroyed and Islam was also destroyed as a state constitution, an Ummah’s source of legislation and as a way of life. All of this was at the hands of the British through their collaborator and agent, the treacherous Mustafa Kemal.

Oleh itu, apabila orang-orang yang bijaksana dan ikhlas berkata bahawa British ialah ketua kekufuran di antara semua negara kufur yang lain, mereka memaksudkan dengan tepat apa yang dikatakan itu, kerana mereka sememangnya ketua kekufuran dan mereka ialah musuh utama Islam. Orang Islam sewajarnya memendam kebencian terhadap British dan menanamkan keinginan untuk membalas dendam ke atas mereka. British telah berjaya menghapuskan Khilafah dan Islam melalui Mustafa Kemal, walaupun orang Islam di seluruh dunia secara umumnya dan orang Islam di Turki secara khususnya menentangnya. Maka, pemerintahan dengan apa yang telah diturunkan Allah lenyap dari muka bumi, dan pemerintahan dengan selain apa yang telah diturunkan Allah kekal. Pemerintahan kufur kekal. Pemerintahan Taghut kekal sendirian menguasai semua manusia dan dilaksanakan di seluruh dunia.

Therefore, when the discerning and sincere people say that the British are the head of Kufr among all the other Kufr states, they mean exactly that, for they are indeed the head of Kufr and they are the arch enemies of Islam. The Muslims should indeed harbour hatred for the British and a yearning for revenge over them. The British have managed to destroy the Khilafah and Islam through Mustafa Kemal in spite of the Muslims throughout the whole world in general and in spite of the Muslims in Turkey in particular. Hence, the rule by what Allah has revealed dwindled away from the face of the earth and the rule by other than what Allah has revealed has remained. The rule of Kufr remained. The rule of Taghut remained alone dominant over all people and was implemented throughout the whole world.
