A bill to shift blame for the US defeat in Afghanistan onto Pakistan, moved by 22 US senators on 27 September, has raised both alarm and panic amongst Pakistan’s policy makers. The Afghanistan Counterterrorism, Oversight and Accountability Act is ostensibly to determine the causes behind US defeat, however, in reality, it is to place and justify sanctions against Taliban, whilst punishing any government with ties to them.

In an interview with CNN on 15 September 2021, Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Imran Khan, complained that “We were like a hired gun” during America’s War on Terror, even though Pakistan’s current rulers are acting as “hired facilitators,” to ensure that the US re-enters our region through the back door.

Following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, debate over Pakistan’s region becoming the starting point of a global, unifying Khilafah, has intensified. This debate reflects the long-held, deep Islamic sentiments within the Islamic Ummah. The eyes of Muslims yearn for the unification of the Ummah as a single powerful Khilafah state, a shield against the aggression of the kuffar and a refuge for all oppressed Muslims.

With heavy hearts, Muslims in Pakistan and Occupied Kashmir heard news of the martyrdom of Syed Ali Gilani, in Srinagar, on Wednesday 1 September 2021, at 10.30 pm.  To Allah (swt) is what He (swt) gave and to Allah (swt) is what He (swt) took, so we only say that which pleases our Lord,
