''Ghazwa-e-hind'' means "military conquest of India", and refers to a [[Islamic Prophecies|prophecy made by Muhammad]] as recorded in multiple, though mostly weak (''daeef''), [[hadith]] narrations. | |||
== | ==Term and usage== | ||
In Arabic, | In Arabic, ''ghazwa al-hind'' (غزوة الهند), but the concept is more well known in it's Urdu/Persian expression, ''ghazwa-e-hind'', which uses the Urdu/Persian [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ez%C4%81fe ezafe] ("-e-" meaning "of"). ''Ghazwa'' means military expedition, attack or conquest <ref>https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/%D8%BA%D8%B2%D9%88%D8%A9/</ref> and ''hind'' means India <ref>https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/%D9%87%D9%86%D8%AF/</ref>. This is because it is very often referenced by anti-Indian polemicists living in Pakistan. | ||
An Islamist group in Pakistan called Lashkar-e-Taiba has declared that the Ghazwa-e-Hind prophecy refers to a forthcoming war in which India will be defeated and united with Pakistan, thus bringing the Indian subcontinent under unified Islamic rule.<ref>Haqqani, Husain (27 March 2015). "Prophecy & the Jihad in the Indian Subcontinent - by Husain Haqqani". Hudson Institute. <q>For example, Lashkar-e-Taiba has often spoken of Ghazwa-e-Hind as a means of liberating Kashmir from Indian control. The group’s founder, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, has declared repeatedly that “[i]f freedom is not given to the Kashmiris, then we will occupy the whole of India including Kashmir. We will launch Ghazwa-e-Hind. Our homework is complete to get Kashmir.” Pakistani propagandist Zaid Hamid has also repeatedly invoked Ghazwa-e-Hind as a battle against Hindu India led from Muslim Pakistan. According to Hamid, “Allah has destined the people of Pakistan” with victory and “Allah is the aid and helper of Pakistan.”</q></ref> | |||
