Allah's Plan

They plan. And Allah SWT plans too. Indeed, Allah SWT is the best of planners.

We, the Pakistani Muslims, turned around treacherous upon our Muslim brethren, namely the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, about seven years ago. These are the very people with whom we fought the Afghan Jihad in alliance with America. We turned treacherous because we became cowards in the face of foreign threats.

We stepped back from our coalition with them, turning a blind eye to the fact that they were our breed to begin with and were backed by the USA itself to fight Russia in Afghanistan which was the American interest at that time.

Next, we began to call them foreigners while there is no such concept in Islam. The basis of nationality in Islam is religion, not a mere piece of land. All Muslims, wherever in the world, are one nation and have equal right to be given protection by the local Muslim government.

Then, we started hitting them and killing them under the ‘Do More Formula’ pushed by foreign powers.

In the face of all this, I salute the Taliban for their spirit of forgiveness and understanding towards miserable Muslims like us, for they have issued the following official statement at a time when Pakistan is in danger of war with India and being weighed down by international pressure,

‘We, the Taliban, will fight side by side with the Pakistani army and Pakistani people against any attack on Pakistan’ – Daily Express

It is not too late. Let us say sorry to our Muslim brethren, Taliban, and join hands once again with our real and dear friends.

We were not distinguishing friends from foes otherwise. We were not rolling up our sleeves against foreign invasion in the north-west otherwise. Perhaps this unexpected turn of events was Allah SWT’s plan of uniting and preparing us Muslims for upcoming times.
