Narar e Takbir - Allah Hu
Nara e Haidri - Ya Ali
Nara e Rasalat - Ya Rasul Allah
Baluch Regiment - Kai Kai

Etc... Nobody cares... If you are Sunni,Shia,Ahmedi,Christian,Hindu or Sikh in the Army!

It should be like that.

It was the most common phrase before Zia set "Allahu Akbar" as the standard, it has returned since but has yet to become as popular as it was in its heyday.

Setting Nara e Takbir as standard has its advantage. As it reflects belief of all sects of Islam. Its good to encourage a common slogan.

Because the military does not represent on account of religion and sect, Hazrat Ali (RA) is known for his bravery and acumen for war and thus it makes sense to inject vigour into yourself by remembering him before facing the enemy. Naara-e-Haidri is my personal favourite as well.

I am asking this as a rhetorical question so no need to put fatwas on me, point is in my opinion, calling on the dead is shirk. i know that Hazrat Ali RA was renowned for his bravery but doesnt that become religiously wrong when you say Ya Ali?
or is it just that they dont really mean Ya Ali in this sense and it simply is a war cry?

Thats how it should be.

Thats how it should be.

The Turkish Army should also use it, it's a great morale booster; once you say it out loud your heart pumps faster than your heart after completing a mile long run. When the Ottoman's would yell it out loud, the Europeans would soil their pants.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Rana Bhagwandas used to be President when President Mushraaf used to be on foreign tours out of the country. There is no restriction on any citizen.

I don't tend to involve religion is such matters, so it doesn't bother me either way. Its a war cry and its mighty effective, that's about all I know about it. If god takes an issue to that, I'm sure he's a reasonable guy and we'll work something out.
