Bajwa Steps in where India Failed to Help the US Gain Stability for its Occupation of Afghanistan
Chief of the Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa on 27 August emphasised that terrorism being a transnational threat could only be defeated through intelligence sharing and coordinated effective border management. The army chief was speaking at a meeting of the Quadrilateral Counter Terrorism Coordination Mechanism (QCCM) in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, according to a press release issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations. Senior military leadership of the member countries, including Gen Li Zuocheng of China, Gen Sobirzoda Imomali Abdurrahim of Tajikistan and Gen Sharif Yaftali of Afghanistan participated in the discussion. The four military leaders welcomed the QCCM initiative and expressed the hope that an inclusive and cooperative regional approach would prove best for the eradication of terrorism.
The background to the meeting, within the context of the sixteen year American crusade, makes clear that Bajwa is working within the US plan, where India has failed to assist. During the long 16-year war in Afghanistan, it can be definitely said that the US and NATO armies, that participated with it in the war, failed miserably to root out the Afghan resistance, primarily the Taliban, which was ousted in 2001 by the American intervention. It is also possible to assert that all American options for the stability of its agents in Afghanistan have also failed; India, which America introduced to Afghanistan in terms of stopping what America calls the rebellion, did not benefit it. In addition, it did not benefit much from the war, waged by its agents in Pakistan on Waziristan and others, to try to alleviate America’s losses in Afghanistan, and there was no progress in the reconciliation efforts with the Taliban.
After America realized the narrowness of its options in Afghanistan and the bankruptcy of the Indian option, it resorted to the negotiation with the Taliban in the hope of its integration in the US government in Afghanistan, and it has used its agents in the Pakistani government to drag the Taliban leaders to negotiations. However, all those attempts failed so far. To facilitate the temptation for the Taliban to accept, America will return to revitalize the role of Pakistan to show that the new military leadership in Pakistan is softer and more sympathetic with the Taliban to push them to sit and negotiate with the puppet government in Kabul and to share power with the American political system in Afghanistan. As for the current tensions and posturing between the US and Pakistan’s rulers, it is to facilitate the image building for Bajwa as a guardian for Taliban, to seduce them for talks. It is upon the sincere Muslims within Pakistan to redouble their efforts for the implementation of Islam, for the Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood alone will work to expel the crusaders from our region. And this necessitates avoiding being distracted by the double games that Bajwa and his kind of oppressors are playing with Muslims. Allah (swt),
وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
“And do not incline toward those who oppress, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped.”
(Surah Hud 11:113)
What are the Costs of the US Alliance in terms of the Aakhira?!
Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on 30 August ridiculed Trump’s claim that the US has paid “billions and billions of dollars” to Pakistan, calling on the Pakistani government to put forward the record of past 20 years to expose American claims. “It’s not billions of dollars, it is peanuts,” the former interior minister said while speaking in the National Assembly. He said that the US drags its feet during the payment of the military fund, adding, “If our bill [for military services] is $500 million, they [US] sit on it for months… and end up giving us $200 million… They have ruined our roads, our airspace, our country, but are not ready to pay for the expenses.”
Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan is cast from the same mold as the current leadership of Pakistan which is to rant and rail against the US, to leverage better payment for services rendered to the US. In the time of Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz did the same before, whenever the US began the process of deliberation over finance for hiring Pakistan to do its dirty work. The US plan is costly indeed, but not in the way Chaudhry Nisar and others who view the country’s assets as a profit-for-personal gain enterprise. The issue is not how much the US pays Pakistan for execution of its plan, but the plan itself, which is very costly in terms of angering Allah (swt) through violation of Islamic commands. It is costly indeed to assist the US in its invasion through our intelligence, airbases and air corridors, when Allah (swt) said,
﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ﴾
“O you who believe do not take My enemy and your enemy as allies, meeting them with softness. Indeed, they disbelieve in that which has come to you of truth.”
(Surah Mumtahina 60:1)
It is costly indeed to abandon fighting the occupation forces as soon as the despicable American troops put their unworthy boots on the ground in 2001, when RasulAllah ﷺ warned, «مَا تَرَكَ قَوْمٌ الْجِهَادَ إلاّ ذُلّوا» “No people abandon Jihad except that they are humiliated” [Ahmad]. And it is costly indeed for Muslims to fight Muslims so as to grant the crusaders respite when Allah (swt) said, Allah (swt) said,
وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا
“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his Recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for Him.”
(Surah An-Nisa 4:93)
Muslims have seen enough of leaders that scorn upon Islam’s injunctions as being sentimental and instead plunge the country into destruction through their so-called “wisdom.” The Ummah is an urgent need of a leadership that leads based on the commands of Allah (swt) and His Messenger ﷺ. And the Ummah will only be blessed by such a leadership when it practically ensures the re-establishment of the Khilafah on the Method of the Prophethood.

Pakistan’s rulers observed the International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances on 30 August 2017. Pakistan’s Commission of Inquiry into Enforced Disappearances has received 4,059 cases, since March 1, 2011 until the end of June 2017. It has disposed of 2,801, leaving 1,258 cases pending. Disposal does not mean that the disappeared returns home.
Pakistan’s rulers routinely use harassment, torture and abduction against its political opponents, even though RasulAllah ﷺ said «ومن عادى أولياء الله فقد بارز الله بالمحاربة» “And whosoever shows hostility to the Awliya (ones close to Allah) of Allah will vie with Allah in belligerency” [Hakim narrated as Sahih from Mu’aadh bin Jabal] and in a Hadeeth Qudsi it is narrated, قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ» “The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him that Allah said, whomever harms my Wali I will declare a war against him …” [Bukhari]. Pakistan’s rulers routinely intimidate the families of the abducted and terrifies any returning abducted from speaking a word, when RasulAllah ﷺ said«من روع مؤمنا لم تؤمن روعته يوم القيامة» “Whosoever terrifies a believer will not be secure from being terrified on the Day of Resurrection.” (Kanz al-Ummal).
Hizb ut Tahrir has declared in its Introduction to the Constitution, Article 13, “In origin, every individual is innocent. No one should be punished without a court verdict. It is absolutely forbidden to torture anyone; and anyone who does this will be punished.” Until the return of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, the Muslims will continue to live under a police state where accounting the ruler is a crime, even though Islam mandates accounting the ruler is a duty. As for the rulers, despite their claims of resisting US pressure, they continue to hold in abduction hundreds of Ulema and Islamic activists, including the official spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Pakistan, Naveed Butt, whose so-called crime was to raise their voices against the American Raj.
