Barelvis created Pakistan, Shias liberated Iran and Deobandis conquered Afghanistan. What have the Indian Muslims achieved?
Wednesday 25 August 2021
It is said that the population of India's Muslims is larger than the entire population of Pakistan which is around 230 million.
While Pakistan has become a formidable nation in just 73-years after it's citizens chose an independent and sovereign state for themselves, India's Muslims on the other hand are simply known as second class citizens in their own country, India.
The only things Indian Muslims are known for today are things such as facing daily persecution, beaten up in the streets at the hands of Hindu Extremists, forcible conversion to Hindusm, loss of citizenship and threaten with forced migration to Muslim nations, forced to sing Indian unity songs, their history and culture trampled upon, living with fear, intimidation, abduction and violence, their women auctioned on social media and are told they exist in India only due to the mercy of the Hindu majority. These are just some of things associated with this minority group and there's nothing to be proud of.
The forefathers of today's Indian Muslims, numbered much less than the 230 million, yet they conquered Bar-e-Saghir for a thousand years pretty much unchallenged, but their offsprings today can not even walk outside their homes without the fear of being lynched just for being a Muslim. Some who manage to reach higher positions are forced to regularly chant anti-Pakistan slogans (and now also anti-Taliban) just to prove their loyalty to their Hindu rulers.
Why are the Indian Muslims living like this? Is it a choice or cowardice?
The Qur'an teaches us that a Muslim is an Ambassador of Allah in this world. He must have honour, self-respect, dignity and valour.
Before the conquest of Makkah, the early Muslims while performing their Hajj were instructed to do the tawaf with their heads bowed down in humility but stick out their chests so that the Kuffaar watching them do not presume they are weak.
