The Oppressed Muslims of India Await a Muhammad Bin Qassim From Amongst the Armies of the Muslims

On 6 September 2026, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pakistan condemned the demolition of the century-old masjid in Saharanpur, India, on 5 September, saying, “Pakistan calls upon the international community to take immediate cognizance of the systematic persecution of Muslims.” Thus, despite possessing the largest army in the Muslim World, armed with nuclear weapons, the regime evaded its responsibility and referred the matter to the international community that is dominated by the Western colonialist powers that wage war on Islam and Muslims, whilst fully supporting the Hindu State in its war on Islam. Such is the pathetic response of the rulers of Muslims whenever the Muslims call upon them for support in their Deen, whether in India, Myanmar (Burma), East Turkestan (Xinjiang) or Palestine.

O Muslims of India in General, and their Ummah in Particular!

Firstly: It is a Shariah obligation upon the Islamic Ummah to support your vulnerable brothers and sisters in the matter of Deen. Allah (swt) said, [وَإِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوكُمْ في الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ] “And if they seek your help in matters of Deen, it is your obligation to extend support.” [TMQ Surah Al-Anfal: 72]. Remind the Islamic Ummah and its armies of Muhammad Bin Qasim, who responded to the tyranny of Raja Dahir by uprooting it and opening the Indian Subcontinent. Whilst the subcontinent was an Abode of Islam (Dar ul Islam), it witnessed security for all its inhabitants for centuries. However, since the British occupation abolished the Shariah Law of Allah (swt) and established the secular laws of disbelief in its place, no part of the Indian Subcontinent has witnessed security, including Pakistan and Bangladesh. So, demand support in your Deen, and demand that the Islamic Ummah re-establishes the Khilafah (Caliphate).

Secondly: The Hindu extremist ruling party is waging war on Islam and its symbols and the masajid to remain in power. It must do so because it has failed to end the crippling poverty of which the people of India suffer from after they had enjoyed centuries of prosperity under Islamic ruling governance. Its 2004 electoral slogan of “India Shining, India Rising” slogan is fading away now. Moreover, all the political elites of the subcontinent, whether in ruling or in the opposition, have foolishly embraced the very Western civilization that brought ruin to the region amongst both the Muslims and non-Muslims. There is a vacuum of confidence within the society, with many searching for a way out. Do not allow the communists to fill the vacuum with their rotten ideology, which caused misery for the people of Soviet Russia for decades. Make a strong Dawah to Islam amongst the non-Muslims around you, to prepare them for re-entry into the Abode of Islam. Remind them that under Islam they were protected Dhimmis. Remind them that under Islam the region became immensely prosperous, contributing 23% of the world’s production. Remind them of how their forefathers fought under the leadership of Muslims against the British occupation in 1857 in their efforts to restore Islamic ruling governance. Walk in the noble path of the pious carriers of Dawah of the Indian Subcontinent, who conveyed the Risaalah of Islam throughout its lands.

Thirdly: Expose the rulers of Muslims for their negligence of your Shariah right. Account the rulers of Bangladesh and Pakistan for restraining the armies of Muslims from support of Muslims in their Deen. Account the rulers of the Gulf for opening the doors to the wealth and markets of the Islamic Ummah to the Hindu tyrants. Account the rulers of Muslims for extending support to Modi, when they possess control of the land and sea routes upon which India depends, through the armies of the Muslims. Demand the removal of the treacherous rulers of Muslims and the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood in their place. And let your ulema lead in making this demand, for they have connections and influence within the ulema of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, whilst the ulema in turn have connections and influence within the armies of Muslims. May your good words reach the ears of the Muhammad Bin Qassim of our time.
