300 Drown, Whilst Fleeing the Misery of Life in Pakistan

On 18 June 2023, the Chairman Senate of Pakistan mourned the tragic loss of over 300 Pakistani lives, in the recent boat accident off the coast of Greece. Mourning the death of Muslims is not enough. Nor is condemning human traffickers. It is upon the rulers to prevent the misery that drives Muslims to flee the country, risking life and limb. Instead, the rulers implement the IMF policies that create economic misery. It is time for the Muslims to re-establish the Khilafah Rashidah, so we finally have rulers that care for us. The Prophet ﷺ said, مَا مِنْ أَمِيرٍ يَلِي أَمْرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ لاَ يَجْهَدُ لَهُمْ وَيَنْصَحُ إِلاَّ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ‏ “A ruler who, having obtained control over the affairs of the Muslims, does not strive for their betterment and does not serve them sincerely, shall not enter Paradise with them.” [Muslim]

The Combined Armies of the Muslim World Are More than Enough to Liberate Occupied Lands

The 12th round of Pakistan-Iran Bilateral Political Consultations (BPC) was held in Tehran, on 17-18 June 2023. Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary appreciated Iran’s steadfast support for the Kashmir cause. Whilst it is divided into nation states, the Muslim World is weakened before its enemies. Pakistan has 653,000 troops, whilst Iran has 523,000. Egypt as 438,500 troops, whilst Turkey has 355,200. Saudi Arabic has 227,000, whilst Morocco has 195,800. Under the Khilafah, these six lands will have a combined army of 2,392,500. Such a huge army is more than enough to liberate occupied Muslim Lands. Allah ﷻ commanded,

[وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ]

“And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and Fitnah is worse than killing.” [Surah al-Baqarah 2:191].

The Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood Alone Can End the Economic Crisis

On 20 June 2023, the army chief assured all out support to complement the Government’s efforts for Economic Revival Plan. The Economic Revival Plan will fail because it is a capitalist economic plan, subject to the American economic world order. The plan that is needed is that of the Islamic economic system. The Khilafah will abolish riba (interest), redirecting funds to the real economy. It will seize the misappropriated wealth from the corrupt rulers and officials, to pay off debts. It will issue gold and silver currency, ending inflation. It will directly supervise energy and minerals, generating huge revenues to look after the affairs of the people. Allah ﷻ said,

[وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى]

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a miserable life, and We will gather [i.e., raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind.” [Surah Taha: 124].

The Colonialist US Wages War on Islam and Brings Economic Ruin

On 21 June 2023, the Finance Minister informed the US Ambassador about efforts to meet international financial obligations.  The meeting is only one example of what it means to be an agent to the colonialists. The Finance Minister is opening economic details to a state that wars against Islam, and assists the Jewish entity and the Hindu State in doing do. America is a state that has ruined most of the world through the capitalist order that it enforces. It is the Khilafah that will end all relations and alliance with it. Allah ﷻ said,

[إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ]

“Allah forbids your alliance with those who fight you because of your Deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in alliance, they are truly oppressors.” [TMQ Surah al-Mumtahina 60:9].

By Establishing the Khilafah, the Islamic World Will Become the Global Energy Hub

The government is asking Europe and China to route their gas supplies from the Central Asian states, through Gwadar to ensure their own energy security. The rulers of Pakistan always present themselves to colonialist powers as their loyal servants. The lion’s share of the project is for the kuffar, whilst the left overs are for the Muslims, just like the Chinese-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The real game changer is the unification of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Central Asian states as one Khilafah state. The Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood will be the energy giant, that cannot by ignored by any state in the world. . Allah ﷻ said,

[الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا]

“Those who take disbelievers for allies instead of believers, do they seek power with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all power.” [Surah An-Nisa'a 4:139].

The US-India Joint Alliance Against Pakistan Can Only Be Countered by the Khilafah Rashidah

The Foreign Ministry has complained, “We consider the Pakistan-specific reference in the ‘Joint Statement from the United States and India’, issued on 22 June 2023, as unwarranted, one-sided, and misleading.” After America’s agents took power in India, Pakistan’s role in relation to America ended, and Pakistan was discarded. The Americans now command that its role is to fight Islam and Muslims. This is how America treats its agents and this is their fate. The only effective counter to the US-Indian alliance is the unification of the Islamic Ummah under the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَثْرِبَ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ فَلَحِقَ بِهِمْ وَجَاهَدَ مَعَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أُمَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ دُونَ النَّاسِ “This is a pact of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ between the Muslims and the believers from the tribes of Quraysh and Yathrib, and those under them, waging war in their company. Indeed, they are one Ummah, distinct from all other people.” [Bayhaqi]

Congratulations on the Occasion of the Blessed Eid ul Adha

On this blessed occasion of Eid ul Adha, we ask Allah ﷻ that He has accepted our sacrifices and the Hajj of the Hujjaj from all over the world. Indeed, Hajj and Eid ul Adha are a manifestion of a huge Ummah, unifying Muslims of many colors, languages and races. At a time the Muslims are divided and weakened into 57 small states before their enemies, we ask Allah ﷻ to unify the Muslim World as one state, the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى عُضْوًا تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى

“You see the believers, as regards their mutual mercy, compassion and kindness, resembling one body. If any part of the body is unwell, then the whole body shares the restlessness and fever.” [Bukhari]
