Comment:
When the Prime Minister of Pakistan supported the Trump plan regarding Gaza, the Muslims of Pakistan condemned his position. Then on October 3, 2025, the Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, said: "I have clarified that the twenty points announced by President Trump are not for us. Amendments have been made to our draft. I have the record. However, this is the final result, and there is no room for politics." Thus, the Munir/Sharif regime accepted the final result, which is the Trump plan to hand over most of the blessed land of Palestine to the Jewish entity.
As for the principled position, the Munir/Sharif regime supports the two-state solution, which stipulates handing over most of Palestine to the Jews, even though Islam categorically rejects that. Moreover, it supports the Trump plan, which guarantees the security of the Jewish entity, by eliminating the resistance in Gaza, and by using international stabilization forces, which will include soldiers from Pakistan.
The Muslims of Pakistan know that the Munir/Sharif regime is ready to recognize the Jewish entity, as soon as Saudi Arabia announces its recognition, under the Abraham Accords. On October 17, 2025, US President Donald Trump said: "I hope to see Saudi Arabia join, and I hope to see other countries join. I think when Saudi Arabia joins, everyone will join."
O Muslims in Pakistan: Our ancient scholars have taught us that nothing is more obligatory after faith than repelling one who has seized even a span of the land of Islam. Ibn Abidin says in his footnote (3/238): "And it is an individual obligation if the enemy attacks one of the borders of Islam, so it becomes an individual obligation on those who are near to it, but as for those who are behind them and far from the enemy, it is a communal obligation if they are not needed, but if they are needed because those who are near the enemy are unable to resist the enemy, or they are able to do so but are lazy and do not fight, then it is imposed on those who are next to them as an individual obligation like prayer and fasting, and it is not permissible for them to abandon it, then then... until it is imposed on all the people of Islam, east and west, in this order." We must reject any attempt to recognize the Jewish entity, and adhere to our demands to mobilize the armies of Muslims to liberate the blessed land of Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
O soldiers of the Pakistani army: These insulting statements made by officials, which acknowledge the legitimacy of the usurping entity and consider its existence and security as normal, are not issued by the Ummah and do not express it, but rather are issued by regimes linked to the colonizer, which promote its projects. The Ummah from which you come, and which you have sworn to protect its land and dignity, rejects this entity outright, and sees it as an usurping enemy that cannot be lived with or allied with, but rather fought and uprooted from its roots. Your Sharia duty is to move in support of your religion, your Ummah, and your holy places, to remove from yourselves obedience to the treacherous rulers, and to direct your weapons towards the real enemy of the Ummah, so that you may write epics of victory as your ancestors did.
