Salaam

I appreciate what you are trying to do to spread knowledge about Islam and its teachings, and to confront misconceptions about Islam. Where you share hadith and Quran verses, it can only be good.

However, in many places on your website, you give religious verdicts and judgements (fatwa) without citing relevant hadith, etc. Firstly this is the job of educated religious scholars who are familiar with the hadith and the meaning and teachings of the Quran, whereas you say you are a student and work in software development. Furthermore, even when great scholars give such verdicts, a true scholar will give the evidence of the Quran and the hadith to explain their argument. However, you use little or no quotes in the opinions you put forward.

Please try only to broadcast the teachings of Islam, do not put across your own opinions or judgments claiming that they are Islam’s.

Before I start answering your questions.. I think ur not aware of the full history on the invasion of Sindh… I am here to explain this 2 u…

HAD the young man called Mohammad bin Qasim not conquered it, Sindh might have taken quite a long to see the light of Islam due to the presence of powerful Hindu rulers and the strong influence of Hinduism and Buddhism.

Like Alexander, Mohammad bin Qasim did not have the luxury of royalty and inheritance of an organized army, yet his exceptional bravery and brilliance made him a matchless general who, at the age of 17, not only defeated the most powerful Hindu rajas but was the first one to establish the Islamic rule in Sindh. History fails to offer a parallel example to him.

A ship going to Basra and carrying families of the Arab merchants, who had settled in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) for trading, was ambushed by Sindhi pirates near the city of Debal (Karachi and the island of Manora were called Debal in those days). All the passengers were made prisoners, and the precious gifts sent by the Raja of Sri Lanka for the Caliph in Baghdad were also looted.

The captured prisoners somehow sent a message to Hajjaj for help. At that time, a very powerful and arrogant Brahmin raja, Dahir, who had succeeded his father, Chach (632-670), ruled Sindh. Hajjaj asked him to release the Arab families and return the gifts, but he refused. Infuriated, Hajjaj called his young nephew Mohammad bin Qasim, who by then had been appointed the ruler of Faris, and sent him to attack Sindh in 711, with 6,000 well-trained soldiers and sophisticated war equipment.

he people of Debal could not stand the onslaught of the powerful army of Mohammad bin Qasim and locked themselves in the city fort. After several days of siege and manoeuvring, the Arab army broke in and captured the fort. As soon as the city fell, the local administration and officials ran away, leaving the people at the mercy of the invaders. Qasim, however, treated the locals very well and as a result, they cooperated with him. They even acclaimed him as their liberator from Brahmin tyranny, under which they had been suffering for years.

Mohammad bin Qasim was a young man of great qualities who not only conquered Sindh but established there the foundation of the Islamic rule as well. Raja Dahir and other ruling rajas in the area were luxury-loving and tyrant. The people hated them but could not rise against them due to their power. Qasim never forced the local Hindus to embrace Islam but his commendable character, efficient administration and Islamic system of law and justice impressed and inspired them to convert to Islam. He even retained the Hindu prime minister and revenue minister of Raja Dahir, who helped him to make Sindh progress economically, and eventually made it the centre of trading and learning.

Qasim, being the nephew of Hajjaj, also could not escape the wrath of the new caliph. After three and a half years of his glorious rule in Sindh, Qasim was replaced by Yazid bin-Abi Kabshi. He was called back and arrested. He was eventually killed at the age of 22.

When the people of Sindh came to know about his death, they grieved for a long time for he had made a place in their hearts by liberating them from the tyranny of Brahmins, enforcing a just and fair rule and bringing prosperity to them. Even the Hindus who did not convert and were not forced to do so, had so much respect for Mohammad bin Qasim that after his death, they made his statues and started worshipping him as their god.

Hope this makes you understand better that Muhammad bin Qasim was not a tyrant but a peace loving leader who was adored and respected by so many.

Hello Mr Devil’s Advocate. I wish what you said was true. However, the actual picture was the other way around.

You are engaging in blame game in order to justify the invasion of Sindh. Similarly, the British colonialist was a better actor when they sailed away from their small British Isles to conquer the Eastern nations on the ground of “civilizing the native” and “White man burden” motive.

I ask you, did the Hindus threaten the Muslims? The actions of a few pirates could not be a solid excuse for whole scale invasion. Am I right? Persia was another example, did they launch pre-emptive strike against the Muslims first? You know the answer. It’s the greed for booty and female captive of wars that stimulate the ongoing march of Muslim invaders to Persia and India in the East. Islam allowed unlimited sex with female captive of wars apart from the legally married 4 wives.

The first jihad against the Indian was in the year 638 during the caliphate of Umar Alkhattab. That was long before the pirate issues that you mentioned.

You talked about the persecution suffered by the local population in Sindh perpetrated by the Brahmins as another justification. My friend, do you think that Hajjaj As-Saqafi was a good leader? What about Yazid Bin Muawiya? Did these people oppress their subjects or not? What if the Hindus attempted to justify their invasion of Arabia due to the existence of these ruthless caliphs?

Your logic is amazing. The truth is that, whenever the Muslim invaders interested to occupy a land, they invented stories of persecution and oppression in order for them to conquer the place without having to put up with the resistance of their own people.

Here’s the actual portrayal of the story: The Muslims too had a tough job with the Hindus. After an unsuccessful campaign of more than eighty years from 638 C.E., the Muslims ultimately captured the Fort of Deval (Debal near modern Karachi) by deceit, by kidnapping the three children of the chief guardsman of the fort of Debal, beheading one and threatening to behead the other two. With this blackmail, they forced him to leave one of the secret trap doors open, after they had feigned retreat.The Hindus never forgot this treachery and eventually learnt from it . In this treacherous attack, the Muslims kidnapped two princesses of the King Dahirsen (Raja Dabir) of Debal. The leader of the Muslim brigands, Qasim and sent them as captives to the Khilafa (Caliph), as a gift with a message that they were royal virgins, meant to be ravished by his holiness (sic) the lecherous Caliph himself. But these princesses outsmarted the Caliph.

The two princesses tore apart their hymen with their own hands and told the caliph that their modesty had already been violated by Qasim. The Caliph did not believe them, but when he saw for himself the ruptured hymens, he was convinced that Qasim had violated the modesty of the princesses and then sent them over to him. The thought that Qasim had fooled him so enraged the lecherous Caliph that he summoned Qasim to present himself at Baghdad. With Qasim in chains, the Caliph accused him of betrayal. Although Qasim pleaded his innocence, the Caliph, asked for Qasim to be locked in a barrel with nails stuck on the inside and had him rolled down a hill.

I hope that you wake up and start leaning to truth instead of being fed with lies.

Devil’s Advocate: “Like Alexander, Mohammad bin Qasim did not have the luxury of royalty and inheritance of an organized army”

Duh!

Alexander the Macedonian was the son of King Philip of Macedonia who conquered all of Greek Empire!

He then raised an army of Greek mercenaries to loot the Persian Empire (who also had Greek mercenaries in their army!)

Mohd b. Qasim was sent by his uncle with the army to serve as his eyes and ears – to ensure his share of the loot was properly accounted for!

Hello Mr slave-King

Please explain why Saiyyidina Uthman Ibn Affan sent troops under the command of Muhammad Bin Qasim to conquer the Sindh area where many peaceful Hindus had been inhabiting that place?

Do you know how many innocent souls were murdered? What’s the guilt of those human?

Answer me please. The spread of Islam to India was bloody, do you know that?

Assalamo alikum Brother,
Mashallah, May Allah give all of us Taufeeq so that we can also do our job being a muslim.
Our enemies are so organized and pwerful that we cannot imagine. But the worse thing is that we don’t learn from them. They are doing all kinds of propoganda without even touching guns and of course we can see that they are completely successful.
we should learn from them that how they are lobbying in washington DC. How they are prparing thier future generation against us… they are not asking them to use guns or Missiles…they are just asking them to study and secure all the key posts in Media and all powerful governments so that they can twist the facts as they want …key example is CNN or any other American Media. American people don’t know anything other then what media tells them.
We SHOULD learn from our enemies and ask our young generation to get higher education and try to control THEM by getting involved in Politics, Economics, Media.
