Muhammad Bin Qasim

(THE GREATEST MUSLIM LEADER)

 

Muhammad receptacle Qasim was among the best colonialists in the Arab history, and a commendable trooper. Shockingly, our advanced essayists have attempted to paint him as a holy person, and in the process they have lost each one of those highlights that made this Arab general a fascinating individual. It's about time that we reestablish his actual picture from credible wellsprings of history composed by the soonest Muslim antiquarians.

 

Muhammad container Qasim was conceived around 694 AD (in the event that we are to accept the practice that he was seventeen when he assaulted Sindh in 711 AD). He had a place with the Saqqafi clan that had started from Taif in Arabia, and he was additionally a nearby relative of Hajjaj receptacle Yousuf (perhaps a subsequent cousin, yet not a nephew as described in the mainstream custom). Much on account of the impact of Hajjaj, the youthful Muhammad receptacle Qasim was named the legislative head of Persia while in his youngsters, and it is said that he worked effectively at smashing the disobedience in that district. At some point around a similar period he got hitched to a young lady in the Tamim clan. There is additionally a mainstream custom that presents him as the child in-law of Hajjaj container Yousuf, yet a few researchers dishonor this practice since a real family of Hajjaj doesn't make reference to any little girl. All things considered, the youthful legend was hitched to a lady of Banu Tamim, and albeit the name of his better half doesn't show up in written history it is sure that she gave him two children who later got acclaimed for their own adventures.

 

At the point when Muhammad canister Qasim attacked Sindh, Hajjaj orchestrated extraordinary couriers among Basra and Sindh, and advised the general never to accept any progression without his recommendation. This request was followed to the letter during the mission. "At the point when you advance in the fight, see that you have the sun behind your backs," Hajjaj kept in touch with his cousin not long before the popular raging of Debal. "Assuming the sun is at your back, its glare won't keep you from having a full perspective on the foe. Participate in battle promptly, and request the assistance of God. In the event that anybody of individuals of Sindh request benevolence and insurance, do offer it to them however not to the residents of Debal, who should all be put to the blade."

 

Debal was the main significant town in Sindh caught by the Arabs under Muhammad canister Qasim. It is likewise said that not long before the last assault, a Brahmin came out to educate the intruders that the banner on the sanctuary is a charm and on the off chance that they strike it down the city will hold no more. "At the point when the multitude of Islam scaled the dividers of the post, the Debalese opened the doors and requested benevolence," says the author of Chachnameh, the essential source on Muhammad canister Qasim composed on the sets of his relatives. "Muhammad canister Qasim answered that he had no requests to save anybody in the town, and that his officers needed to do the butchering for three days… 700 wonderful females, who were under the insurance of the sanctuary, were completely caught alongside their important trimmings and dresses embellished with gems." The ladies and kids in this way caught from Debal were remembered for the riches of the war. Some of them were circulated among the fighters, while one-fifth was shipped off the Caliph through Hajjaj container Yousuf in understanding to the Islamic law that broadcasted that one-fifth of the crown jewels of the war had a place with the Caliph for legitimate use. These riches included two girls of the expired leader of Debal, who were handpicked for the Caliph's collection of mistresses.

 

The destiny of Debal sent shockwaves across Sindh. Individuals counseled their crystal gazers, and soon the word was out: destiny has appointed the nation to tumble to the Arabs. It is almost certainly that the Arab intruders supported the gossip in the wake of seeing at Debal how neighborhood strange notion could be abused as a war methodology. The Buddhist populace of Sindh was the first to make secret coalitions with the Arabs, since they had little stake in the standard of the Brahmin administration. Hajjaj Bin Yousuf deliberately directed the Arab expressions of benevolence to Muhammad receptacle Qasim right from Basra. "Whoever submits to you, let him hold his influence and riches and family," Hajjaj requested his cousin. "Furthermore, whoever doesn't submit, treat him severely and torment him till he submits."

 

This technique was completed with extraordinary achievement. Nothing debilitates the soul of a person more than existing on a fringe of expectation and dread. All colonialists have known this reality of human brain research, and abused it to make double crossers of their adversary. The colonialisation of Sindh by the Arabs is an eminent illustration of this strategy, and the Arab students of history gladly describe numerous occasions. One such case is the tale of Kaka Kotak, a Buddhist of some impact in Siwistan (Sehwan). Kaka made a mysterious coalition with the Arabs and afterward went to the Brahmin leader of the town, disclosing to him that it was written in the old books of India that the nation of Sindh would tumble to the Arabs at a specific time, and that time had now shown up. "Our religion disallows us to shed blood," the shrewdness Buddhist told the lead representative. "We are anxious about the possibility that that when the Arab crowd storms the city, they will take us for your devotees and deny us of our life and domestics. We have come to realize that Lord Hajjaj, compelled of the Caliph, has requested this military to concede exculpation to the individuals who request it, and the Arabs are supposed to be devoted to their promise." He at that point requested the lead representative's authorization to make a collusion with the Arabs. At the point when consent was won't, Kaka kept on filling in as a covert agent to the Arabs, and never neglected to remind his lead representative that the fall of Sindh was prognosticated in books composed many years prior. The lead representative before long lost expectation, and escaped to his cousin Raja Dahar while the Arab armed force walked on and involved the city. Consistent with their promise, they saved the group of Kaka and his companions while the remainder of the populace was sold into subjection or circulated among the fighters. Kaka was then raised to the position of a nearby head, something he probably won't have longed for under the Brahmin rulers. "At the point when Kaka put on this dress of honor, all the aristocrats in the encompassing spots were motivated to acknowledge his impact," composes the creator of Chachnameh. "Kaka got invulnerability from the Arab armed force for the individuals who submitted while he drove the Arabs to the individuals who wouldn't submit, so the obstinate could be rebuffed."

 

Muhammad canister Qasim's development towards Dahar was cautious. The Arab guaranteed that his stock line was protected, pushing forward solely after every city in transit was gotten under lock and key and its populace either demolished or prevailed upon with liberality. To Hajjaj, who was sitting a few thousand miles away, it may have appeared to be that his cousin was sitting around idly. "Presently surrender different towns and walk against Dahar," Hajjaj wrote in a somewhat baffled state of mind. There is an inconspicuous, practically obscure sign that Muhammad container Qasim needed Raja Dahar to submit to him and rule over Sindh as the Caliph's emissary. Hajjaj considered this to be an exercise in futility. "I'm stunned at the shortcoming of your approach," Hajjaj kept in touch with him. "Individuals will believe that you are attempting to achieve harmony! You ought to motivate dread."

 

"O Men of Arabia," Muhammad container Qasim charged his armed forces to the last challenge with Dahar. "These hordes of heathens have come arranged to battle with us. You should utilize your entire being, for they will set up an angry obstruction for their abundance and families. Ride against them… With the assistance of God, we desire to make them all nourishment for our sharp blades, remove their abundance and their families, and get huge goods. Try not to show shortcoming, and recollect that God makes the finish of the devout glad."

 

Dahar was murdered at the Battle of Rawar. "It is connected that when the stronghold of Rawar was taken, every one of the fortunes and arms that were in it were gotten, with the exception of what had been removed by Dahir's child Jaisingh," portrays the creator of Chachnameh. "This goods was brought to Muhammad receptacle Qasim. The slaves were tallied, and their number came to 60,000. Out of these, 30 were youngsters of imperial blood including Raja Dahar's niece whose name was Husna (Sundri). Muhammad canister Qasim sent all these to Hajjaj, along with Dahar's head, and one-fifth of the goods, as the regal offer… When the head of Dahar and ladies and the fortune were brought to Hajjaj, he put his brow on the ground and offered petitions of much obliged giving, saying: Now I have every one of the fortunes of the world. I rule the world." It is said that one of Dahar's spouses, Ladi, wedded Muhammad container Qasim, yet there is another custom as per which Ladi committed suicide by bouncing down the bulwark when she saw the Arabs.

 

The triumph of Sindh was finished with control of the excess significant urban communities, particularly Brahmanabad and Multan. This brought more genuine duties. Up until now, Sindh was treated as a foe country, and in his previous victories Muhammad receptacle Qasim had destroyed sanctuaries, supplanting them with mosques. "Since individuals of this land have put their heads in the burden of accommodation," Hajjaj taught his general. "I don't perceive what further rights we have over them past the typical expense. In this manner, grant them to construct the sanctuaries of those they love. Nobody is precluded from, or rebuffed for, following his own religion, and let nobody restrict it, so these individuals may live cheerfully in their homes." This proclamation of Hajjaj canister Yousuf had an enduring impact throughout the entire existence of Muslim India. By giving the Buddhists and Hindus the situation with "zimmis," and forcing "insurance charge" (or "jizya") on them, the Arabs had acknowledged them as "Individuals of the Book," subsequently recognizing both Buddhism and Hinduism as supernaturally uncovered religions. Nonetheless, the Muslim brain research would never grapple with the act of icon love by the Hindus.
