India-Pakistan War, Role of the Muslim Ummah and the lessons learnt from it

This is a small portion from my article in which I have written about India-Pakistan conflict.

Role of Rest of the Ummah in the India-Pakistan War

This is a great opportunity for Muslims around the world to become united as an Ummah. Pakistan's military has shown that it is enough to tackle Indian Military but rest of the Ummah should ally with Pakistan because surely the West would ally with India. The OIC and rest of major Muslim countries should help Pakistan curb the diplomatic pressure imposed on it by the West. Pakistani leadership in the past has a history of faltering under western pressure so the Ummah should give a loud and clear message to the West that the Ummah will not leave Pakistan alone in this situation. The Ummah has unfortunately failed the Palestinians by not taking any concrete steps for them except for sending aid or lip service but now the Ummah should not waste this opportunity. The West should know that how powerful Muslims are when we are united as an Ummah. We should re-establish our unity as an Ummah and we should use this unity to counter the genocide and brutal oppression that Muslims are facing in Palestine, Myanmar, India, Kashmir, East Turkistan and Africa etc. There are 57 Muslim majority countries so if we are united we can establish our own World order which runs on Shariah and would be a role model to the rest of the world as well. This is what Allah has said in Quran about unity and brotherhood:

"The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy." [Surah Al-Hujurat Verse no.10]

What can Pakistan and rest of the Ummah learn from this?

A lesson which Pakistan can learn from this is that now they have known that how capable they are in terms of military might. There were many Pakistani Intellectuals, Politicians and Military officers who use to make excuses when they were asked to help Palestinians militarily. They use to make excuses like 'there economy is in poor shape', 'they have bad law and order situation' or excuses like the 'Political situation in Pakistan is not good enough to challenge Israel'. Now when India has attacked Pakistan none of them are thinking about the Political or Economic situation of the country. I do acknowledge these problems but despite these problems as of now Pakistani Military has responded quite well to India's aggression. Another interesting fact that should be kept in mind is that many Pakistani intellectuals wanted to avoid the Israel-Palestine war but they should know that the very war which they wanted to avoid is right at there doorstep as the drones with which India attacked Pakistan on Wednesday were all Israeli made Harop drones so will Pakistani authorities still not do anything for the Palestinians? This means that if you have an existential threat like this then you don't think about your political or economic situation you just do what is best to counter that threat. Similarly the Palestinians and Yemenis are also our brothers as we are united because of being an Ummah. There is no difference between a Pakistani or a Palestinian or a Yemeni so just like we are responding to India's aggression we should also respond to the threats the rest of the are facing. There is a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW

Narrated An-Numan bin Bashir:

Allah's Messenger SAW said, "You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it." [Sahih al-Bukhari 6011]

Similarly this is a lesson for rest of the Ummah as well that if any other Muslim country is attacked by any of its neighbors then it won't think about its own economic or political crisis but it would only do what it takes to tackle that situation. This is how each and every Muslim country should think like for rest of the Ummah that if any of there brotherly Muslim country is in crisis or undergoing a brutal oppression by any other Non Muslim country then they should not think about what crisis they are going internally but only do whatever is best to help there brotherly Muslim country as according to above-mentioned Hadith Muslims are like a single body. There is another Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW regarding brotherhood:

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

Allah's Messenger SAW said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . " [Sahih al-Bukhari 2442]

Another important thing is that we as Muslims should keep in mind is the fact that we are forbidden to sacrifice our lives for nationalism or tribalism. There is a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW in which he says;

It was narrated that Jundab bin 'Abdullah said:

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever fights for a cause that is not clear, advocating tribalism, getting angry for the sake of tribalism, then he has died a death of Jahiliyyah.'" [Sunan Nasai 4115]

We as Muslims should only sacrifice our lives for Allah Almighty. This is what we have been ordered to do in the Quran and Hadith.
