Is Fighting only for our Enemy, and being Slaughtered for Us?: The Khilafah Will Answer the Cries of the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir with Jihad by Our Armed Forces
Pakistan’s rulers have failed miserably to support the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir as they struggle against the Indian occupation of Muslim Land. On 1 April 2018, south of occupied Srinagar, thirteen mujahideen were martyred and then four civilians, when thousands protested against the Indian occupation. As a routine, the regime issued a bland response, that is no substitute for action, with its Foreign Office proclaiming, “This mindless killing spree exposes, yet again, the ugly, inhuman face of the state-terrorism that India has been perpetrating against the Kashmiris for decades.” The regime speaks as if it has nothing but a fly squat or toothpick in its hands, when it commands 617,000 active troops in the armed forces, 513,000 in reserve, 420,000 active personnel in the paramilitary forces, as well as a nuclear arsenal at its disposal. This is in addition to the fact that Pakistan has a large youthful population that can be drawn from for basic military training in a matter of months. Moreover, the regime claims that it is only the right of the state to fight the enemy and not the right of the groups. Yet, it does not fight the enemy and stops the groups as well, which brings relief only to the enemy and drowns the oppressed in despair. Is fighting only for our enemy, and being slaughtered for us?
Adding to its crimes, the regime continues with diplomatic and trade relations with a belligerent nation that has worked consistently against the Muslims of the region. Instead of expelling Indian diplomatic staff, on 30 March 2018, the regime’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed that it would cool down tensions, “in line with the 1992 ‘Code of Conduct’ for treatment of Diplomatic/Consular personnel in India and Pakistan.” And on 30 March 2018, the Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria was granted an audience with businessmen at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry, when it is upon the rulers of Pakistan to impose sanctions on India for its atrocities and demand the current Muslim states do the same.
Islam forbids normalization of relations with the belligerent hostile states and demands the liberation of the Muslim Lands by mobilization of the armed forces. Allah (swt) said,
﴿يا أيها الذين ءامنوا قاتِلوا الذين يَلونكم من الكفار وَلْيجِدوا فيكمْ غِلْظَةً واعْلَموا أنَّ اللّـهَ مع المتقين﴾
“O you who believe! Fight the Unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.” [Surah At-Tawba 9:123]
RasulAllah (saw) said,
«جَاهِدُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ»
“Fight the mushrikeen with your wealth, yourselves and your tongues.” [Abu Daud].
And RasulAllah (saw) warned,
«ما ترك قوم الجهاد إلاّ ذُلّوا»
“No people abandon Jihad expect that they are humiliated” [Ahmad].
The Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood will answer the cries of the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir, Palestine and Afghanistan as is their right. And thus Hizb ut Tahrir/ Wilayah Pakistan calls upon the sincere in the armed forces to overthrow the regime which is a chain around their necks, preventing them from fulfilling their duty, so that they can finally seek martyrdom or victory under the leadership of a Khaleefah Rashid.
