The Twenty-Seventh Constitutional Amendment is to Consolidate Trump's Rule in Pakistan
and the Sovereignty of Sharia Alone is Sufficient to Permanently Close the Door to Foreign Interference
News:
The proposed Twenty-Seventh Constitutional Amendment, which aims to amend Article 243 and restructure the military leadership hierarchy in Pakistan, is the most ambitious restructuring effort in decades, and perhaps the most controversial, as it clashes with entrenched institutional cultures and the fragile balance between civilian and military power... At the heart of this project lies a seemingly simple principle: to modernize defense coordination by creating the position of Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and abolishing the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But in practice, this reform would elevate the army commander to a constitutional position with supreme authority, combining operational command with overall control of all military apparatuses.

Comment:
The position of Chief of Staff is treated as if it were a sovereign political position, contrary to its military reality, which should not be independent of the composition of the state, whether it is a Western civil state or a legitimate state under Islam. This reflects the reality of the military leadership exercising direct rule in the Pakistani state, which is also a departure from the civil rule that civil states claim to be based on. Therefore, the true description of the reality of the Pakistani state is that it is a police state, not a political or civil state as it claims.
As for Islam, the position of Amir of Jihad, who is the military commander who leads the armies of the Islamic State, is appointed by the Caliph, and is also dismissed whenever the Caliph sees fit. The Caliph of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, appointed Khalid ibn al-Walid as commander of the army, then Omar replaced him with Abu Ubaidah. The commander in the army is a soldier who is appointed and dismissed by the opinion of the Caliph in a way that achieves victory over the enemies of Islam and Muslims and achieves the purpose of Jihad in the way of Allah, not to achieve the interests of the disbelievers in the region or in Islamic countries and to travel between Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to send mercenary forces to suppress the people of Palestine on behalf of the Jews!
As for the constitutional amendment, the most destructive aspect of the Twenty-Seventh Amendment does not concern a specific individual, or military dominance, or judicial oversight, but rather making the decision-making power in Pakistan more subservient to the United States.
Asim Munir is Trump's main agent in Pakistan and his "favorite military leader." Munir is completely in line with Trump's vision for Pakistan regarding the Jewish entity, Pakistani nuclear weapons, Afghanistan, China, Central Asia, and Pakistan's vast energy and mineral resources.
The Twenty-Seventh Amendment lays the foundation for expanding the scope of Asim Munir's power, similar to the power granted to former generals such as Musharraf in Pakistan, or like the power of General Sisi in Egypt currently.
The protest movement against the constitutional amendment must focus on a comprehensive change, not a partial change, for every partial change will open the door to the emergence of more like Munir, Musharraf, and Sisi. To close the door to any further manipulation of Pakistan's destiny by corrupt generals, politicians, and the United States, Muslims must demand the sovereignty of Islamic Sharia.
Sharia requires that the decision-making power be consistent with divine revelation. No law may be enacted that is not based on evidence from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet, and what they guided to from the consensus of the Companions, and legitimate analogy.
Neither the Caliph, nor the Amir of Jihad, nor the Chief Justice in the Caliphate has the right to act outside the provisions of Sharia, but the Caliph himself can be removed from his position if he insists on publicly violating definitive Sharia rulings.
O Muslims in Pakistan: Direct your political resistance to end the dominance of American dictates, whims, and desires over your affairs. Do not stop your resistance until you establish the sovereignty of Allah Almighty's Sharia in Pakistan, the pure land.
