Asalaamu Alaykum wa
Rahmatullah!
After the recent round of
promotions to the levels of Brigadier, Major-General, Lieutenant-General and
General, we address you all as the
new military command of Pakistan's armed forces, one of the world's most
capable fighting forces. No doubt military command is a great duty in our Deen
and a source of great reward. Indeed, the Final Messenger to all humankind,
RasulAllah (saaw), himself was a military commander, after he (saaw) made
Hijrah to Madinah on 12th Rabiul-Awwal, having previously secured
Nussrah (Material Support) from your noble predecessors, the military command
of the Ansaar (ra). Thus, RasulAllah (saaw) set the glorious example of
military command for you, securing the Muslims from their enemies and raising
the word of Allah (swt) as the highest before all of humankind.
We put to you that the
greatest challenge you face is to end Pakistan's alliance with the United
States. Far from being a source of strength by which to
counter India's regional mischief, this alliance is the cause of our being
progressively and perilously weakened before India.
Through its
alliance in the era of General Musharraf, the US exploited the intelligence,
bases and air corridors of our armed forces to make possible its invasion and
subsequent occupation of Afghanistan in the first place. Then, the US promptly
opened the doors of Afghanistan to India to grant it an unprecedented presence
there, which the Hindu State began using as a base to destabilize Pakistan,
igniting the fires of chaos and Fitna throughout our soil. Firmly allied to the
United States, General Musharraf then declared Jihad in Kashmir as
“terrorism," an American demand that granted great relief to India, whose
cowardly troops were shaken by small groups of poorly armed, yet highly
motivated Muslims.
Then, through its
alliance in the era of General Kayani, Washington ensured our armed forces were
massively deployed on the Western border. It is this American demand which not
only granted India on the Eastern border even greater relief, further
bolstering its regional ambitions, it reduced Pakistan's armed forces role to
that of a security detail for the American and Indian presence in Afghanistan.
Then,
through its alliance in the era of General Raheel, Washington brought further relief for India, through
ensuring the forceful suppression of Islam under the banner of “fighting
extremism,” stabbing the Muslim resistance in Kashmir in the back under the banner
of “ending cross border terrorism” and restricting us to frustrating, token,
tit-for-tat responses in the face of ever increasing Indian aggression on our
eastern borders, under the banner of "restraint."
And now if
alliance with the United States is allowed to continue under General Bajwa,
Pakistan will be herded towards US sponsored talks with India, to bury forever
any hope of a fully liberated Kashmir being unified with Pakistan. This
American ploy is to grant India a victory through the maze of diplomatic talks
that it could never secure for itself on the battlefield. As for the
“normalization” of relations, it is an American demand to permanently remove
Pakistan as an obstacle to India as the dominant regional power, through a
whole host of security concessions, including our falling on the sword of
self-inflicted nuclear disarmament.
Respected military commanders!
America is an open,
hostile, Kaffir enemy of Muslims. Its enmity is apparent from its support of
the Hindu State in the east and the Jewish State in the west. Its enmity is
evident from its aggression in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Its enmity is clear
from its relentless bringing Pakistan to heel before India. Islam
forbids alliance with the enemy forces who fight Muslims, occupies our lands
and desires only our ruin, for Allah (swt) said, ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ﴾ “O you who believe do not take
My enemy and your enemy as allies, meeting them with softness. Indeed, they
disbelieve in that which has come to you of truth.”
[Surah Mutahina 60:1] And we assure you that you are not only fully capable of
ending alliance with Washington, the situation is ripe for it.
Consider, respected
commanders, the weaknesses of the United States itself. Militarily, its own
forces, whose lack of bravery cripples their possession of sophisticated
weaponry, have been shaken by small, poorly armed tribal men in Afghanistan, forcing
them to come to rely upon our armed forces. Economically, the consuming greed
of its elite has led to an immense and unsustainable concentration of wealth
within a few, causing the collapsing of its economy. Politically, its standing
and reputation is in tatters through its naked, violent pursuit of material
resources abroad, inciting great hatred against it, not just within the Muslim
World, but beyond it.
Consider that despite the
immense oppression against the Ummah from the current tyrant rulers, our Ummah
has not retreated rather it has grown in its commitment to Islam. The rejection
of colonialism and Democracy is stronger than ever before within her, as is her
demand for ruling of Islam and establishing its Khilafah (Caliphate) on the
Method of the Prophethood. Thus, the Islamic Ummah would rejoice, applaud and
fully support your brave and bold step to deliver that which she desires most.
Consider also that Hizb ut
Tahrir under its Ameer, Sheikh Ata ibn Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, is fully prepared
for ruling by Islam, commanding legions of capable politicians whose influence
extends from Indonesia in the east to Morocco in the west. Today they work
tirelessly day and night, despite immense persecution against them by the
current tyrants, which includes arrests, abduction and the severest of torture.
And soon, when the Khilafah is established at your hands, they will work with
the same commitment to Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw) to ensure the
unification of the current Muslim states as the single most resourceful state
in the world.
And consider above all
else, that when you move in support of Islam and its Deen, in humble and
complete submission to the commands of our Lord (swt), you will earn the help
of Allah (swt). Indeed, history has been made by the Muslim military commanders
who wielded this help as their most powerful weapon, succeeding against their
enemies despite overwhelming odds, from Khalid bin Waleed (ra), to Salahuddin
and Muhammad bin Qasim. Walk now in the footsteps of the righteous military
commanders, grant Nussrah for the establishment of the Khilafah and you will
need no helper other than Allah (swt), as you march towards dignity and
victory.
Allah (swt) said,
﴿إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ
اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي
يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴾
“If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He
forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone)
let believers put their trust.” [Surah
Aali-i-Imran 3:160]
