The Ummah Needs the Khilafah to Protect Its Sacred Sites, Not Defense Agreements to Protect Traitor Rulers!
News:
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have entered into a prominent joint defense agreement, under which any aggression against one of the two countries is considered an aggression against the other. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signed the joint strategic defense agreement at Al Yamama Palace in Riyadh on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

Comment:
Following the Jewish entity's attack on Qatar on September 9, 2025, which targeted the supreme political leadership of Hamas, this defense agreement is being promoted as a response to it. Regime mouthpieces in Pakistan describe it as an achievement and a victory for Pakistani foreign policy! The rulers even claim that they are honored to be entrusted with the protection of the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina!
But the truth is that this agreement is not new. Military relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia began in 1967, and deepened after the Juhayman incident in the Grand Mosque in 1979 when Pakistani special forces helped restore the Grand Mosque. By 1982, these relations were institutionalized through a bilateral security cooperation agreement, which allowed for the training and advising of Saudi forces, and even the deployment of tens of thousands of Pakistani soldiers on Saudi soil. Saudi Arabia also became a major importer of Pakistani weapons. In 2015, Saudi Arabia announced the so-called "Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition", and former Pakistani Army Chief of Staff, Raheel Sharif, was appointed as its first commander. However, despite all the media hype, this coalition was never used to confront the Jewish entity's terrorism against Muslims in Palestine! Even after the attack on Qatar, its role has only been activated within the framework of formal exercises.
As for the Pakistani regime's rejoicing in the opportunity to protect the Two Holy Mosques, it raises a question: Why do they not show the same enthusiasm to liberate the third of them; Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has been occupied by Jews since 1967, and whose filth is desecrated daily by their thugs?!
Since October 7, 2023, Muslims in Pakistan have been demanding that their army move to support Gaza, liberate Al-Aqsa Mosque, and erase the Jewish entity. However, these demands are always rejected under the pretext of the deteriorating internal situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, or because of the threat from India. However, neither the rebellions in those areas have decreased, nor has the threat from India receded. Rather, India is waiting for an opportunity to relaunch "Operation Sundar" against Pakistan. It is clear, then, that the problem is not in the ability to fight on multiple fronts, but in what America imposes. This new agreement serves American interests, and it is unreasonable for the client leaders in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to take such a strategic decision independently.
Ideas such as the "Islamic NATO" are nothing but attempts to absorb the Ummah's anger at the rulers' failure to support Gaza. Defense agreements only serve their thrones, not the Ummah's sacred sites. These rulers unite to protect their regimes, but they do not unite to liberate Palestine. These agreements will never be activated against the alliance of America and the Jews. The unity of Muslims cannot be based on joint defenses or fragile political alliances, but only on the Islamic ideology. The Ummah's salvation lies in the establishment of the Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood, led by a Caliph who unites it under the banner of Tawhid. Anything else - whether the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Arab League, or joint defense agreements - is nothing but deception.
