Muhammad ibn al-Qasim speech before war

After the morning prayer, the army of Muslims stood in ranks armed with spikes. Muhammad ibn al-Qasim rode on a horse and gave a passionate speech,

"Soldiers of Allah and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him!"

Today is the day to test your courage, your faith and your sacrifice. Do not be afraid of the number of the enemy. History is a witness that in all previous battles between disbelief and Islam, the leaders of falsehood were more than the followers of truth, and the followers of truth always proved that the secret of the strength of the army is not in the number of people, but in the maturity of their faith and their strength. The goals are high. Our war is not against any nation, not against any country, but against all the rebellious people of the world who spread mischief on God's earth.

We do not want our own government on earth, but God's. We want our safety and the safety of all the people of the world with us, and the only way to safety on God's earth is Islam. This is the religion that erases the distinction between master and slave, white and black, Arab. Our goal is the victory of this religion and to live and die for this goal is the greatest happiness in the world. Our forefathers fought for this goal. God bowed the necks of the great oppressors and tyrants of the world in front of his handful of people. Arabian knights!

You should be proud of your destiny that God has chosen you to spread His religion, you fought hard in the path of God and God has enriched you with the blessings of the earth and the world. Remember the time when God gave victory to his three hundred and thirteen worthless servants over an army armed with the best weapons. In the fields of Qadisia Yarmouk and Ajnadin, ten swords of falsehood and sometimes even more were defeated against one sword of truth, but God always gave victory to the righteous. God will help you today but remember! God's decisions are irrevocable. Nature only helps those who help themselves. You cannot deserve God's rewards without being discharged from your duties.

The hand of nature is only extended to them, who are breast-fed by the shower of arrows that pierce the trenches with their bodies. The rewards of nature are only for those nations whose every page of history is colored with the blood of martyrs. Remember! Bani Israel was also God's cherished nation, but when they handed over the responsibility of Jihad to God and His Messenger and sat down, nature scolded them and today they do not find refuge on the land that was once upon a time. I used to wave their Iqbal flags. May God not bring the day when you also delete the chapter of Jihad from your book of life like Bani Israel.

My friends and my brothers! Today is a day of severe trial for you.

I believe that the group that God has chosen for victory today is you. I am sure that the iron of Sindh will not be stronger than the iron of Rome and Iran before the swords of truth. Cruel people are never brave, but once again I instruct you that while clearing the path of truth from the ears of disbelief, take care that you do not touch even a fragrant flower with your feet.

Do not stab a fallen enemy.

Don't lay your hands on women, children and the elderly. I know that the King (Raja) of Sindh has treated the Arab women and children very badly and I am afraid that the spirit of revenge will not induce you to commit any cruelty. There is always room for mercy in God's law for those who repent. Defeat the enemy and prove to him that our honor is the honor of God and our sword is the sword of God, but when he admits his defeat and seeks refuge with you, pick him up and embrace him and say,Islam .

The door of mercy is not closed to anyone. You know that no one in this world has been persecuted as much as the infidels of Makkah persecuted the Prophet (peace be upon him)

There was no arrow in the quiver of cruelty, with which no attempt was made to injure his holy body. Hot stones were placed on the chests of his martyrs in front of the eyes of the Holy Prophet and when he migrated, the oppressors did not leave him behind. The behavior that Noor, may God bless him and grant him peace, did to the Holy Prophet is unprecedented in the history of the world and it was the result of this good behavior that his worst enemy became his best friend. Today in Turkestan and Africa, the inhabitants of Haras countries who once fought against us. Our countrymen are fighting for the victory of Islam..

My friends! Today your destination is Brahmanabad, and let us pray for victory.

Muhammad ibn al-Qasim raised his hands and prayed.

O master of punishment and reward!

We want the victory of your religion.

Give us the spirit of our ancestors.

Lord of the worlds! Do not embarrass our mothers on the Day of Judgment.

Grant us the life of the Ghazis and the death of the martyrs."
