Comment:

The recent killing of around two dozen people in the Tirah Valley has not only sent a shock wave among the people, it has also made them question the reality of the issue. With the Muslims around the world already bewildered by the silence of their leadership about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, witnessing incidents like these will fuel the fire against the rulers in the hearts of the people. The incident was witnessed and mostly recorded by the locals, who wish to prevent a repeat of mass civilian displacement, a traumatic experience that remains deeply etched in the collective memory of the region’s inhabitants. The local environment overflows with the stories from the past when Pashtuns retaliated against British Imperialism, giving them a heroic status as the guardians of Islamic Land and Law. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government being from the opposition has claimed “mortar and bombs were dropped” on the locals. Views among local residents, political leaders, and tribal elders are based on suspicion and fear due to prior operations, resulting in civilian casualties and displacement. To avoid this kind of damage, elders of the area made an effort of holding a failed Jirga with the militant leadership, in which they demanded Sharia law implementation, in the area from Waziristan to Bajaur. This is a display of all the elements that wish to rule this region, government, opposition and military. All three have once again betrayed the people and thus have betrayed Allah and His Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him).

[وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِناً مُّتَعَمِّداً فَجَزَآؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِداً فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَاباً عَظِيما]

“And whosoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein forever, and the Wrath of Allah is upon him, and His curse; prepared for him is a grievous torment”[An-Nisaa’: 93].

In Islamic history, we have examples when the sanctity of Muslim blood was violated. Yet history also records moments when Muslim leaders rose to defend and avenge the suffering of their people. The world witnessed Salahuddin Ayyubi humbling the Crusaders and Sultan Qutuz defeating the Mongols at Ain Jalut. But history also warns us: whenever Muslims turned their swords against one another, it left wounds far deeper— echoes of division and grief that reverberate across generations.

Islam is a religion of clarity and has very clear rules on fighting.

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: أن أعرابيا أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال‏: ‏ يا رسول الله الرجل يقاتل للمغنم، والرجل يقاتل ليذكر، والرجل يقاتل ليرى مكانه‏؟‏A bedouin came to the Prophet (saw) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! One man fights for booty, another fights to win fame, and the third fights for show off.” Another narration is: يقاتل شجاعة، ويقاتل حَمِيّة“One fights for displaying his valour, another fights out of his family pride.” Another narration is: ويقاتل غضبًا، فمن في سبيل الله‏؟‏"One fights out of rage." He asked: "Which of them is fighting in the Cause of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, «من قاتل لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا، فهو في سبيل الله»‏“The one who fights so that Word of Allah (Islam) be exalted, is the one who fights in the Cause of Allah.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Pakistan with the military ability it holds can become a force for the Muslim Ummah. Fighters from the tribal areas can become the army of the Ummah. Instead its traitor leadership is continuously interacting with enemy dignitaries and officials, revealing our secrets, selling our resources and seeking guidance, supporting Western military and economic intervention in Muslim lands. It is in the interest of the western world and its slaves to silence the voice that demands shariah. Pakistan Security Forces must clarify the cause of the ‘Operation Sarbakaf’ launched on 29th July 2025 against the TTP (Tehreek Taliban Pakistan) and ISKP (Islamic State Khurasan Province) militants in the area of Bajaur. These groups must also understand that Shariah Law is implemented by the State under the leadership of a just ruler, who has the ability to not only announce but to implement and protect and propagate the law. If as claimed these tribal militants become a trouble for the State then the State will deal with them according to the hukam of Allah SWT and it will be able to make them an example for their treachery. The reason for the silence of the Government is because it knows no narrative that it crafts will satisfy the people.

It is Khilafah (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood that will once again not only apply the Shariah Law but will make sure that it reaches to each desperate seeking heart in its purest form. Muslims, of tribal and central areas of the world must work for the establishment of Khilfah as this is the only true identity for this world that will help them win the afterlife.

[إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ]

“Verily! We have placed you as a successor on earth, so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire for it will mislead you from the Path of Allah. Verily! Those who wander astray from the Path of Allah (shall) have a severe torment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.” [TMQ: 38:26]
