On May 23rd, 1983 American president Ronald Regan introduced the doctrine of Strategic Defense first. This was signal to all American scientists to develop weapons which render all nuclear weapons useless. As a result of this, America has the most advanced weapons in the world but if we take strategic to mean nuclear weapons than Russia has the lead in that. In the 7th century, 609 AD Islam spread all over the world and Quran provides strategic guidance through Surah Al-Fil (Al Quran):
“Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
And He sent against them birds in flocks,
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
And He made them like eaten straw.”
“Companions of the elephant” is a reference to Abraha and his army. Abraha was the king of Yemen and Ethiopia, at that time he had formed a place of worship in Sana’a (capital of Yemen) to rival Kaaba in Makkah. This was a source on displeasure for the Arabs so much so that a man emptied his bowels in Abraha’s created place of worship, hence defiling it. This enraged Abraha and he vowed to destroy the Kaaba. His army rode towards Kaaba (House of Allah) on elephants, and he himself led it riding on the biggest elephant. Allah (SWT) sent an army of birds called Ababil (Martin) who carried small stones in their beaks, hence destroying Abraha’s army leaving them in the state similar to that of eaten straw. These precision strikes of stone in the beaks of flying birds from a great height was the first display of something similar to nuclear bomb, a concept which the world was not familiar with it at the time. This was guidance for Muslims but they remained ignorant to this concept till January 24, 2017 when multiple independently Re-Entry vehicle (MIRV) by the name of Ababeel was successfully tested by Pakistan. Ababeel carries 9 missiles capable of targeting 9 independent targets in 9 different directions. But this is a start. Muslims should look to reduce the size of the nuclear load to no more than the size of a bullet so that a more advanced MIRV is produced capable of launching a thousand bullet sized nuclear bombs towards a thousand independent targets rendering any Missile defense system, may it be S-400 0r S-500 or NASAAM, useless.
Second Strategic guidance and command that is given to Muslims by Allah is in Surah Al-Anfal in the following words:
“And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allah].
And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.”
Allah has taken the responsibility of the defense of this universe. Muslims perform ‘Tawaf’ around Kaaba (house of Allah on this earth) which is the center/Axis of this earth and we do so by the command of Allah. Here is the axis and it is defended by Allah.
Hazrat Imam Hussain’s (R.A) sacrifice against a usurper’s and a tyrant’s rule provided Muslims the strategic guidance explaining that one should not refrain from any kind sacrifice when following the right and just path.
Muslims adopted a strategic system during the caliphate era which allowed Islam to spread to all corners of the world. Pakistan is the only country in the Islamic world to become a nuclear power in 1984. Progressing Pakistan has developed tactical warheads which is a step towards small atomic weapons as highlighted in Surah Al – Fil. According to different sources Pakistan has already developed atomic weapons which are the size of tank shells and bullets. In 1983, USA started developing Cyber weapons which would render nuclear bombs useless. In 2007, I questioned Pakistan’s atomic scientist about the life of an atomic bomb in response to which they used the word ‘infinity’. When asked whether Pakistan’s nuclear missiles can be jammed they said that they keep changing the frequency of the nuclear weapons. Former Minister of Defense Gen(r) Moinuddin Haider maintains that Pakistan has a mechanical system in place to use its nuclear arsenal. This system, however, restricts the range and speed of the missile making it difficult to cover all enemy territories and its low speed may make it an easy target for missile defense systems. Pakistan, however, emphasize that its nuclear arsenal is capable of overcoming all obstacles in the path of its target. Pakistan provided Bosnians with atomic tipped anti-tank shells which rendered all enemy tanks as a lame duck.
Among the indicators available to Muslims, the leading one is that of the mosque. It is not only a place of worship but also a place to discuss and address social matters and also a place for an assembly of intellectuals. Mosques are in the shape of space-crafts and its minarets resemble missiles a concept visible in American X-37B space craft which is equipped with 4 Minotaur missiles which can reach any place of the world within an hour and hit the target, if fired from X37 B space Craft. This space craft is also used by USA for weather modification by inserting energy in the ionosphere which contains the system of weather. It is said that HAARP technology developed by USA can cause earthquake and Tsunami artificially as well. HAARP (High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program) has been considered ultimate military weapon of USA.
In terms of cyber weapons, Muslims have been asked to pray (dua) to Allah and recite the Holy Quran to seek protection from all kinds of evils. Prayers and Ayahs of the Quran are capable of defending against all kinds of evil plots and actions provided it is done at the right time and in the right way. In 1979 when America attacked Iran, all Muslims scholars of Iran asked the people of Iran to recite Surah Al- Shams and as a result American attack was unsuccessful. Another example is of Hazrat Younus (A.S) when he was in the stomach of a fish, he was told to recite a prayer which is part of Surah Younus, and reciting it earned him his freedom. Battle of Badr is another great example where a small contingent of Muslim force took up arms against a larger army of Quraish. Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) prayed to Allah for success and as a result Muslims under Prophet Muhammad’s (Pbuh) command were successful. Examples of the nations of Aad and Samood provide the concept of a weapon of flame and thunder as these nations faced the wrath of Allah in the form of a mighty roar. In recent days, 5th generation warfare is being exercised. In such warfare, the bullet meant for a certain person will only hit its target and no one else and the bullet has the capability to maneuver its course. Similarly, Spiritual healing is something which is being done already as a patient can be cured by a man living miles away, without ever meeting the patient. Japanese have a similar system which is known as ‘Reiki’. The inventor of this system studied the healing miracle of Hazrat Issa (A.S) who could cure blindness of people just by touching the eyes. Many non-Muslim scientists who haven’t studied the Quran have now reached the conclusion that Human beings are not from planet Earth and that human beings are in fact thrown on it. This is mainly because the creation of earth tends to sleep on the ground, eat grass and have a horizontal spine whereas humans don’t as they tend to seek comfort for themselves as they are from a place of great comfort and luxury. This is true and already explained in the Quran. The first house of earth is the house of Allah (Kaaba). In early days, humans used to live in caves. Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) first created a mosque then a house. When I compare a Mosque to that of a space craft, one meaning of it can be interpreted as a means of getting to heaven by praying there and incurring the pleasure of Allah. Or they can go to Heaven scientifically developing making it a Burraq (a most sophisticated space craft not known to world until now) that took to Prophet to meet the Creator of this Universe, Allah.
Treaty of Hudaibia is an excellent example of strategic approach. One of the clauses in the treaty was that Muslims will not help the non-believers of Makkah in case the non-believers are attacked and vice versa. This treaty paved the path for the Khyber battle and the conquest of Makkah and these victories were glorious and there was no blood shed. A Chinese philosopher said in his book that if you want to defeat your enemy and then attack their unity and not their forces. Despite this there is no example in Chinese history has no record for a victory as glorious as the conquest of Makkah Mukarrama.
