I clearly remember when the ‘Taliban’ government was established in Afghanistan and Pakistan also recognized it. That was the first time, the Afghan nation was disarmed. And an exemplary state of peace was achieved without arms. This happened after great turmoil. And this happened miraculously. All sort of crimes ended, although the Taliban were busy in Jihad and internal war. Most of Afghanistan was under their governance and Mullah Umar was their leader. Over here it is imperative to recognize that some people in Pakistan have either named themselves Taliban, or this name has been delegated to them. The majority of these people are criminals who, on the behest of foreign agencies, for their lust of riches are murdering innocents and carrying out bomb blasts and no one is safe from their harm. Neither am I talking about them nor do I think that they are on the right, in fact according to our Interior Minister, they are not Taliban in the least.
I am talking of the Taliban, who are True Muslims in their nature and essence, who speak and follow the Truth. These are they who were and still are Mujahids, and continue to fight against the foreign powers. It is them who established a rule over Afghanistan and then gave it the face of Khilafat-e-Islami, and accepted Mullah Umar as the Khalifa. And thus the land of Afghanistan witnessed commendable peace. The objection of our intellectuals, that institutions could not be formed, carries weight. Although, while criticizing, they tend to forget, that the Taliban were a product of Jihad and were still engaged in it, yet irrespective of that they managed to provide exemplary justice. As a result of which ideal peace was established. The Governor and the members of the government were living normal lives alongside the ordinary citizen, and were available to the public at all times. There was peace in the entire country except, the Punjsher Valley, where they were fighting against Ahmad Shah Masud, when the unpleasant incident took place in America, which is well-known as nine eleven. This proved to be such a massive occurrence that, it altered the course of history.
On the face of it, it was just an explosion, two aircrafts slammed into buildings, which were destroyed. But the after effects of this continue to be felt years later, even today the world is resonating with the impact of the incident. It is said that more or less around five thousand people were killed, but in the aftermath of this event, the world was engulfed by the repercussion, due to which millions of people of various Countries, have been ruthlessly annihilated. This not only includes Afghanistan, but Pakistan too has been colossally damaged and continues to suffer. May Allah protect us. Ameen!
Anyway a situation was created, Al-Qaeda and Usama Bin Laden were implicated, it is beside the point whether this was correct or not, but as a result of which America asked the Afghan government to handover Usama Bin Laden, who at the time was residing in Afghanistan. The Afghan government was of the viewpoint that they should be provided concrete evidence for they will not handover Usama Bin Laden on mere implication. At this America, arrogant over its triumph, was enraged that how dare Afghanistan make such a demand, Afghanistan should have submitted to their will without any ifs and buts.
All this was but on the face of things, evident to the entire world. But contrary to this, the reality was something else. In my opinion it was that America had assessed in the few years, that if this government were allowed to continue, then the world would have recognized it and Americans as a nation might also have accepted it and would have thus begun to convert to Islam, making Islam prevail and their self created culture would be buried. I heard these words being spoken by the then American President Bush “They were going to finish our culture from all over the Globe!” And this is an aspect that our intellectuals have not been able to recognize even today, but America had realized this then.
The situation kept getting tense; America’s insistence increased and it also began to amass the world powers, whereas, Afghanistan continued to stand firm on its principle viewpoint, and thus the situation kept getting worse till such a point that America attacked Afghanistan. Even at the time, I was of the opinion that Al-Qaeda was a fictitious organization (unheard of before 9/11) created by America to spread a scare. The tragedy of 9/11 was the planned outcome of the American government and the Jews, in order to pave the way for an attack on Afghanistan. Now books have published on this topic and the Iraq war, even in America itself, out of which a few have reached me. Anyway America in collaboration with forces of 38 countries attacked Afghanistan. And this was not a small matter, if anyone takes time out to delve, they will realize what a calamity this was. This was such a colossal explosion, the waves of which have engulfed the entire world, and continue to do so and even after a decade or more, there is no relief from its negative effects.
American air force was massively bombarding Afghanistan, when a team from the American media, came to me inquiring about the incident of 9/11. I expressed the same viewpoint that I hold today, and I remember that the American interviewer blushed to his ears, enraged. I inquired if he were a Jew to which he responded in the negative saying “but I am an American!” So I fed him some sweetmeat to instill some calm in him and gave him the rest to feed to the others for the same purpose. One of his questions was that “soon the Afghan government will fall and American forces will take over, what then?” So I replied, “That is when the war will begin! Today America is hailing fire from the skies, but to capture it will have to fight on ground. And only when you land, will the war begin.”
Irrespective of all this I wished that Mullah Umar had wisely taken a more diplomatic stance, saving this newly established poor Islamic state from clashing with the disbelievers. But hats off to the strength of his faith, who insisted that “I’ll live upholding the Truth or else I may be martyred, either way I’ll be blessed with the Mercy of Allah-SWT”. Anyway, war took place, the Afghan government fell, and America and its allies took over, and the web of fire was spun all over the Country. Those who had suffered tyranny and cruelty for over a decade (before Talibanization), their lives, wealth and honour were yet again in the claws of tyrant America and its allies.
Mullah Umar who, even during his stay in the Presidential house continued like a humble villager and for his breakfast he’d be sitting on a mat having only tea and rusk, was commuting from village to village on a motor bike. Our ex-President Pervez Musharaf used to mock him saying that Mullah Umar ran away on a motor bike. But Mullah Umar and his motorbike are still trekking in those villages, while President Musharaf has himself fled. In this entire episode, the point to ponder is, the strength of faith and confidence Mullah Umar has on Allah-SWT, that “even if America attacks us, my Allah is with me! I am striving in conformity to HIS Prophet-SAW, and Allah-SWT Willing America will face defeat. ” This statement was beyond everyones comprehension at the time, and rather seemed like the words of a madman. But today, years later, not only America but its 38 allies too are facing this defeat. And that man of Allah is coming out victorious. All this is a marvel, a miracle of the blessings of Muhammad-SAW, there is no other explanation.
I have only lightly touched this topic inorder to expatiate the enormity of this carnage. The attack of America and its allies on the newly established Afghan government, this incident has altered the course of history and its effects have been felt by the entire world. I am not getting into the debate of who suffered what, but its evident to all that due to this, major changes took place and the world is continuing to jolt. Now just visualize that America and its allies are packing up to evacuate, one day they have to leave and not because they have completed their mission, but infact they have been defeated. And that humble villager commuting on his motor bike is about to stand victorious. Which by the Grace of Allah-SWT has already been achieved, only the materialization of which is to take place.
With this background a picture is developing, that Americas attack will be trivial to the bang of America’s defeat, and that too achieved at the hands of a resourceless humble villager. Just wonder what the repercussions and how far reaching they would be. In my opinion the entire sub-continent; Pakistan and Hindustan, and central Asian states will be in the direct influence of it. And a massive revolution will take place, which will bring with it Truth, justice, peace and honesty. The blood of innocents and martyrs will finally show its colours. Once again Islam, peace and wellbeing will be revived, which will by the Will of Allah-SWT effect the human society of the entire world.
Every wise-man can see a faint picture of this according to his own capacity. A massive event is about to take place which will happen by the Grace of Allah-SWT, and perhaps my pen is incapable of painting its true picture. But one thing is absolutely clear that this is going to be the end of all kind of tyranny and finally honesty and justice will come victorious and Truth shall prevail. In my opinion the world is standing at the edge of an enormous positive change. Just think, ponder and visualise, what picture do you perceive?
