Anrong the total special attributes of Risalat Ma'ab(Hazrat Muhammad; (SnS) this one is also there that heforetold about certain important events that were to happenin future and as the time is passinghis foretelling are provedto be true one by one. Hence these foretelling are countedby Ulama among Mojizat (miraculous deeds and sayings)about the advent of our Imam Mahdi(AHS) HazratRasoolullah(SN)'s sayingsare rnore than three hundred. Asthe advent of Mahdi Maud was among the necessit ies fDeen ( ls lam), i t was not possible or the prophet (s\s) tobe si lent about i t . In some tradit ions (Ahadith) \ lahdi 'sfamily particularsare mention, n some others from u hom hedescents, n some traditions Mahdij exalted position ismentionedwhile in others his lofty qualities. Some traditionspoint out about the place he would be born and some showthe time and period when his advent would take place. Insome Ahadith his features facial) are shown while in othershis Character is emphasized.Among these Ahadiths one isabout CAZWA-E-HIND (THE BATTLE OFHIND). This is our Prophet(SAs)'s romise s well as aMojizah.whichcan be takenas a testimony Hujjat) of hisProphethood.

It is know from this traditionthat along with HazratIsa(AHS), wo other persons re shownas the savioursofUmmaht-e-Muhammadia and they are HazratRasoolullah(sAs)imselfand Hazrat Imam Mah6;(AHS).

(Now, in the first traditionrnentioned bove) Theleader of the second set of people cannot be HazratRasoolullah(sAS)..uuse he did not fight a battle in Hind(lndia). Of the other two saviours, ne is Hazrar I (AHS)and the seconds Hazrat ffiull,1;(AHs).

In the above tradition the name of Hazrat Isa(AHS)has been clearly mentioned. However in the case of[1zlul,,]i(AHS)1 has been pointed out that his people willf igh t in H ind.

The thinking hat the groupwho f ight in India wil lbe that of Mahmmudof Ghazni.(Mahmood gaznavi),whoinvaded ndia for more or less seventeenimes s wrong aswell as untrue.

We don't know which musalman will consider rightto equate Hahmud's army with the group of Isa(AHS)

We ask whether Mahmud's selfish attacks on Indiaespecially his attack on sommath will be the same in theeyes of a true muslim as that of the group (Jama'at), ofHazrat Isa(AHS) who happened o be a Khali fathul lah ndmamoorminal lah.

Should not the pouer of speech loweron this research l

Hazrat SaubanR'.A traditionby Hazrat Abu Hurairahtuabout this matter s such hat evena very ordinaryman willnot say that this tradir ions about he batt leof MahmudofGhazni.

What will be the placeand rank of the peoplevhowill fight a baule in Hind, as told by HazrathRasoolallah,(SAS)an be considered rom the words ofHazrathAbu HurrairahR..Hence in "Sunan-e-kubra"andNisai it is written hus:r1"l.lil qSpr iru.LaJrr;, 'U, dlr J1,r; u rll JU rr,l stt fljr-lt l*trttt Ub6r1tt,rl rt r1:Jr J-.lt 'rc.f ;sfr rul[r1,J-irTranslation:- "It is narrated by Hazrath AbuHunairahR' that Hazrath RasoolullatrQAs) made ato us of the battle of Hind.

Details are not ar.ailable as to what HazratRasoolullah(SAS)u, saidabout he lofty rankand posit ionof the peoplewho v' i l l f ight the batt le n Hind. HoweverHazratAbu HurrairahR''s reat restless)esireo join thisbattle is not a less estimony o show the lofty natureand


10/25

character f this battleand of thosepeoplewho wlll fight inthat battle. It must be remembered hat Hazrar AbuHurrairahRz as a companionsahabi)of our Prophet(sAS)and spent his life on suffahaand who preferred he love ofour prophet(SAs)o everythingn the world and observedacomplete Turk-e-Duniya .

Hazrath Abu Hurrairahtu who was bestov,edwiththe tasteof lofty companyof Hazrat Rasoolullah(SAS)o116not havedesired o be in a lowerrank company.

Hazrat Abu Hurrairahtu.'sdesire to join this group(Jama'at)and fight in the battleshovs that this groupwasnot an ordinarygroup.

The last wordsof Hazrat Abu HurrairahR' n thistradition that If I get killed I would be counted amongLigh ranked martyrs and if f return as a GLazi , Iwill be that Abu Hunairah who Las been freed fromttre fire of Helf prove that Hazrat Rasoolallah(SAS)rutclearly and emphaticallypointed out that those who takepart in that battle will be freed from the fire of hell. Andthis evoked a tense desire in the heart of Hazrat AbuHurrairahR' o join and fight in the battle to get killed orcomeout of battleas a Ghazi.

In this tradition(of Hazrat Abu F{urrairahR') theword Al-Muharrar is taken from the words oi flazrathSaubanR''s tradition Asabatan min [tmmati HarrarHum allah Minan Nai'. [n other readinc A.hraz Huma

is written and in other reading it is Hatrar Hama .Readerswith superficialsieht mai' think it easy to relate theCazwa-e-Hind to \{ahmood of Ghazni. But the words ofthe traclition and Haz-rat Abu Hrrrairahfu's tense desirekeep this idea veru far from the truth. If this is not the casethen a question arisesu hether Abu Hunairahfu desired toattack on Somnath along u ith \{ahmud of Ghazni and getthe gold. diamor,dsand booty from the temple. After livingin the pious company of Hazrat Rasoolullah(sAS) whoproclaimed AI-Fuqr u Faktrri (poverty and hunger aremy glory), will Abu Hurrairah desire to put himself to sucha low position as to go in the company of a worldly tyrani.king like Mahmud of Chaznil

It may be said with clarity that the group (Jama'at)fighting n Hind is the group of Hazrat Mln[i;(AHS), andwithoutdoubt Hazrat Mahdi(AHS) s saviorof Ummat-e-Muhammadia like Hazrat Rusoolullah(sAS)and Hazrat1."(AHS). This has been explained by HazratRasoolullah(SAS)1*r.lf. An important clear point in it isthat the adventof Hazrat Mahdi(AHS) will be in Hind.

But, whether this battle (Gazwa) took place inHazrat Mahdi(AHs)'s timesl Whether this battle can berightly calleda Gazwal Where did it take placel By whomwas t conductedlThesequestions re to be considered.This articlecarries he followingpoints:

1. Hazrat Rasoolullah(SAS)ur promised bout a battlethat wil l be fought n Hind (i.e. India)

2. The illustrious igh rankedsahabiAbu HurrairahR'desiresWholeheartedlyo join this battle.

). The group that fights this promisedbattle has beenmentionedalongwith the group of Hazrat Isa(AHS)whoseend and result s gettingfreed from the fire ofHell .

4. The word 'Cazva" cannot fit from any angleon thebattle oughtby Mahmud of Ghazni.Now it is to be seenwhen was this Cazwa fought in

India.How was t foughtand throughwhomwas t foueht.Those who read the booksof biographyoi }lazrat

Mahdi(AHS) ind'thut Hazrath Mahdi(AHS)has takenoart


13/25

only in onebattle n his life.But the events nd time of thisbattle are suchthat the word Cazwa cannot it on it' Thefollowing re the reasons:

1. The iirst thing to note is that this battlewas foughtbetu'eenSultan Hussain Sharquiand Dalpat Rai,King of Caur-. The stimulus f this batt lewas heBayan-e-Quran (Explanationof the Ayats ofQuran) by Hazrat Mahdi(MS) in *hi.h he stressedthat lslam'ssubjugationo idolatory Kufr) was notpermissible.Sultan Hussain Sharqui said he rvaspayrng ribute to king of Gaur and if he stoppedit, a battlewill become nevitable.He further said hedid not have necessarymeans o face a battle' Onthis Hazrat. Mahdi(AHS) said 'Allah is Naser(supportiveand helpful) to His religion.'In this battle that ensuredSultan'sarrny was almost

defended.At that time Hazrat Mahdi(AHS)was standingonan elevatedplace with someof his men. The Sultan sentword to hirn that his arrny was defeated and he(MahdlaHsl might also leave he battle field and return.But Hazrat Mahdi(AHS)did not leavehis place and stoodf i rmlva lons i th h ispeople .

14/25

on such historiceventswho will say that the battle wasfought between Hazrat Mahdi(AHS) and Rai Dalpat ofGaur. It was in realitya battle between he Sultanand RaiDalpat. Hazrat Mahdi(aHS) oined this battleas a supporterand his intentionwas to support slam.

As an under current it is right to consider hat theconquestwas the resultof Hazrat Mahdi(AHS)'spresencenthe battle but in apparent onditions he battle was Sultan'swho fought in support of Islam and he himself was thecommander f the ur,,'r. Had it beenImamunu''AHSbattlethe real fight in the beginningwould have been betweenI*.*u.u(AHS) and Rai Dalpat and the Sultanwould havejoin the battle as a supporter.But this was not thr case'

2. On a secondaryasis f it is claimeclo be the battleof Hazrat Mahdi(AH-s),t it to be seett hat b-v hatt ime Imamuna(AHs)ad not proclaimed imself obe The Promised Vlahdi ancl so it u as not thebattle of MahdiAHSund the word "Gazua- cannotbe applied o it.Had the battle taken placeafter the proclamation f

The Mahdiyat by I*u*unu(AHS), then it could be a'Gazwa" and Mahdi(AHS)would be the leaderof the army'

This is an admittecl act that Hazral yu1.t6i(AHS)proclaimedhis Mahdiyathat Badli (a place n Gujrat India)in 905Hij. Every Mahdavi till today n his heartof Heartsunderstandshat after this date a personbelieving n hinr(MahdiAHS) i, -o*in and denyinghis Mahclil'at s KafirIrnu*rnu'rAHS demise took place at Farah in 910Hij'


15/25

Between his period (ie.905 Hij. And 910 Hij.) HazratMahdi(aHs) did nor fight a battleat any time and at anyplace.

Now the questiorrs veatherour first propositionhatthe group that will fight in Hind rvill be lVIu[l.l;(AHS)'tgroup, s wrong as during the periodof Mahdiyat HazratMahdi(AHS)did nor fight any battle)

The answer o this question s that Gazwa-e-Hind(The battle of Hind) should have taken place duringI.urnunu'rAHS period of Mahdiyat and he should havebeen ts leader.But the will of Allah was that this "Gazs'a'should not be fought by Mahdi(AHS) 6;ntr.lf. It had to betaken placeafter hirn by a personselectedby Him (Allah)and who wasannounced y Mahdi(AHS)as "Badal-e-Zaat'(Substitute for him self). And this was clearly and fullyknown by Mahdi(AHS)'s Sahaba(companions)nd also byothers ar and wide.

Allah's decision hat this Gazwa should take placeby the substituteof Mahdi(AHS)was because f Allah'sprevious ecision hat no one shouldovercome nd kill theconcludersThe prophet(SA-S)nd The Mahdi (aHS);

Hence no one \ .as able to overcomeon HazratRasoolul lah(sAS)s a resultwhich Rasoolul lah(sN) ouldnot get excellence f -Shahadat" (martyrdom).This hasbeen written in -sirrus shahadatain" n pagel, that theexcellencehat remainedunachieved v Rasoolullah(SAs)


16/25

was 'shahadat'. The reason or this as told by ShahAziz of Delhi wasthis"There is a secret in not getting this excellence(shahadat) y Rasoolullah(sAs).ad he (Rasoolulla6(sa^s);been killed in a battle, the dignity and spendourof Islamwould have been marred and there would have beendisturbancesn Deen".

Hence as no one was able to over come on theKhatimul fuof,iu(sAs), so that the strength oi deen bekJpt intact, due to the samereasons o one cttuld overcomeon the KhatimuAulia (MuhdiAHs)as 'er Allah'swil l . In the Gazwa-e-Hindhereu,as he issue ri "Quti lu'alongwith the Quati lu(ie.Kil l ing su'el las beingkil led).Hazrat Mahdi(AHS)uft.r reciting he verse -ial lazeenahajaru...... ' t i l l the end ,attr ibutedhe four qualit ies ohimselfand his "quam" (people).He alsoexplained hat"fal lazeenaHajaru" has taken place, "Oukhniu mindaganhim' has beenover, 'ouzu fi sabili" has occurred.But "Quatilu wa Qutilu" is yet to Occur' It will occurwhenAllah wishes o.

It is thus known now that Imu*aunu(AHS) t"1uttdthese four attributes to himself as well as to his Quam(People). One important point to note is that theseattributesare primarily and really related to the personofI*u*unu(AHS) and secondarily o his people as hisfollowers.As the first threeattributesoccurred n the life ofthe Imamuna(AHs) imselfhe took theseup primarilyandhis people Quam) secondarily s his followers'The iourthattr ibutewas also primari ly o occurwith Imamunu(AHS)'1 i


17/25

1 i

Although Imamuna had a keen desire that this attributecould b. expressed n his persn' yet this could not happenbecause of the v'ill and knowledge of Allah' Hazrathrmam(AHS)praved to Allah to let the fourth attribute(Qualtilu wa Qutilu) mieht also occur on his personandthat he was readyand acceptableor it, Allah senthis wordO Syed Muhammad in our etemal knowledge llm-e-Azali) this. act is decided hat no personwill over comeonKhatimul Ambia and Khatimul Aulia and sword will notwork.'we havemadeyou Khatim-e-vilayath-e-Muhammadi.Hence we havemadeSyed Khundmir thy Substitude '

Thus we come to know from this narration hat thefourth attribute could not be expressedon the person ofHazrat Mahdi(MS) und that Bandagi

Mian SyedKhunmir(tu) ,o* made Substitude to the person ofI*u*unu(AHS).

This narrationalsospeakshat as the fourth attributevas to express Quatilu and Qutilu (killine and beingkilled), this could not havebeenexpressed n the personofI*^-u'u(AHS) against he eternalknowledge A'ali l lm)'hence t was necessaryo makeone personsubstitute o theprsonof Imamuna(AHs) o that this fourth attributemightbe expressecln a befittingmanner'For this purposeHazratBandagi Mivun(R') v'as already chosen by Allah'Imumuna(AHs) aclmany imesspoken bout his greatanddignif iedmatter.

Among clifferentsayingsof Itu*unu(AHS) aboutthis event one was: Allah hears,seesand knows' He has

made you capableof lifting the great weight of vilayar. Becareful his is the weight of Vilayat-e-Muhammadia;ourhead will be severed our waist will be broken at thar rimeyou mustaskfor help from only Allah (Matlaul-Vilayat).

It is alsoa matter of considerationhat the narrationof Quatilu wa Qutilu's attribute was bestowedon HaztatBandagiMiyan Syed Khundmir(Rz)'by rhe command ofAllah was not a narrationby one man (Khabar-e-Wahed).It vas spoken many times and at many places byImarnuna(AHS)nd it was explainedat Farah in such a waythat all the inmatesof the Dairah sahaba,adies,(UmmatulMussadiqueen),Muhajireen and all spokeabout it. Moreover it was not limited to Dairah only it became amousoutside he Dairah also. The writer of 'lnsafnama-rvriresbefore Shahadat' many non mahadavis rsed to say:Hazrath Syed Mohammed ha,l bestou,erl he fourthattribute of battle on his special Khaliia \'1ivan S1'eclKhundmirtu. But this has not occurred ill noq. PerhapsMiyan Syed Khundmirtu will also transfer r ro one of hisKhalifas.And this will continue ill Qayamat. After heanngthis Miyan(R') said this is not the case. The fourthattributewill be expressed n this banda's (My) prsonasspecifiedby Imamunu(AHS) 61 for some days and seewhat happens.

The gist of all this argurnents s that HazratRasoolullah's(sAs)romiseof Gazwa-e-Hind ndicates hegroupof Hazrat Mahdi(AHS).Th promises so brief thatwe do not knowabout the conditions f the battle and it..results.t is not clearwhether he fightingpeoplewiil krll th.

kafirsor will becomemartyrs.Hazrat Mahdi(AuS) recitedaverse (of Quran) relating to himself. It contained ourattributes.The fourth attribute s of Qualilu and Qutilu(killingand beingkilled). Hence Quatilu and Qutilu is thedetail of the brief note of Ghazwa-e-Hindn the tradition'As ImarnunaAHsas relatedQuatilu and Qutilu to himselfso the group fighting in India will be the group of1y1up,6;(AHS).

As Khatemain (Rasoolulla6(sas)and MahdiAHS)could not be over come by any personand this was in theknowledge f Allah. This attributewas bestowed o BandagiMiun(tu) by Allah through he holy tongueo614u1t61(AHS)And on the person of Bandag Miuntu this attribute wasaccomplished 0 yrs after the death of Imam(AHs) in thesamev/ayas vas foretoldby Imam(AHS).

Now the question s whosemartyrdomshould t beconsideredlThe attribute of Quatilu wa Qutilu was notprimarily on Bandagi Miutt(tu). It was basically for[\tl3]fi1(AHS). andasi Miun(tu) was appointedon the orderof Allah as a substitute o the personof Mahdi(AHS).Theanswer o this questioncan be none other than that theauribute of Quital was of yu1t6i't(AHS) but BandagiMiun(fu) was madea substituteor him on special easonsand theattnbute 'asshown n him.

In a ludicialcase f a party appointsa pleader, heneveryword of the pleader s consideredo be the word ofthe party (not the u'ord of pleader).Similarlyhe substitute'saction(Bandagi zl1un(tu)'taction)cannotbe considereds


20/25

his own actionbut the action for whom he acts as substitute(i."., Mahdi(AHS)1.Andspeciallywhen the subsritute sappointedby the order of Allah, it will be said that theaction s not of the substitute(Bandagiiun(tu)) but of thepersonor whom he substitute cted .e., of X4u1"t6;(AHS).

This event hrows ight on the total perishing Fana-i-yat-e-tamma) f BandagiMiun(tu) in Mahdi(AHS). t ulroexpresseshe glory of Mahdi(AHS)'s lad tidings of Sair-e-vilayat to BandagiMiun(tu).

Here the important question s also solved whetherthe word Gazwa can rightly be appliedon this battle. Theearlierargurnents ave his muchproved hat the attribute ofQuatilu \ra Qutilu belonged to Mahdi MaudMuradullah(AHs).4rer the wil l of Al lah this attr ibute ,astransferred to Bandagi IVIyan(R' bi' HazrathMahdi(AHs).No* he point to considers that u'hatnamewould be given to the battle in which the attribute ofMahdi(AHS) Quatilu Qutilu was expressed.Will it becalled fighting; simplebattle, Harb or the nameCazwa wasrightly applied to it. Even a man of simple understandingwill not hesitateo say that the battle related o khalifatullahwill be calledGazwa in the religious erminolory.And theplace where Gazwa is fought will be given the nameconnected with ir .The battle related to khalifatullah sattributeQuatilu Qutilu as it was to occur in Hind, wascalledGaava-e-Hind. It is a different hing that for somereligious reasons the attribute was exhibited upon asubstitute instead of the real person. But if theKhalifatullah's ttribute s shownbv the order of Allah on

the substitute, then how can it be called as a commonbattle.And if the substitutes shown o get the expressionof Qutilu (killed) then how can it be called a commonmartyrdom(as infact it is the martyrdomof the real person(i.e. Mahdl(AHS)).Here logicand honesty i l l hold hat asthe attritrute of Quatilu and Qutilu was specificallyofHazrat M3[.i;(AHS), hencethe battle will be called theGhazwa and the martyrdom in it was a specialmartyrdom(Shahadat-e- aqsoosa).

The above arguments were given because somepeoplewith non-arab (ajami) thinking feel that Gazwa is abattle in which Hz. Rasoo1u11u6(sAs)imself ook part. [nArabic languagehe word Gaza is commonand there is nosuch conditionas mentionedabove. Hence , Ghazi is aword from Caza and is applied to any personwho takespartin a religiousbattle and comesout un-killed. Moreover n aHadith it is said ragazuwa tag-tanamu .e. Fight a battleand get Mal-e-ghanimath (booty).Here also Gazwa isused in commonmeanings.These two examples re for thepeople with knowledge.There are many more examples nArabic.

If it is still stressedhat the word Gazwa is usedonly for the battle in u'hich Hazrat Rasoolullah(sAS)ookpart, then we ask uhat namewill be given to the battlewhich was relatecl o the name of Hazrat ffi.ltfl1(AHs).Thosewho considerHazrat Mehdi(AHS) s l ts in rank andposition to Hazrat R *olulluh(SN) will not give anyanswer.Those who feel Hazrat Mehdi(AHS) quul in rank

and position o Hz. Rasoolullah(SAs) 6umsar'); they willat once say as hat is Camt4 this is also Gazwa.Moreover the words Gazwa-e-Hind are of Hazrat

Rasoolullah(SAs). e very vell knew that in the battle thatwill take place n Hind in future he cannot ake part. Inspiteof this he remernberedhat battle with full responsibility.with the name Cazwa-e-Hind . If any one objects o this,then his objection will be to the person of HazratRasoolullah(SAS)imself. Allah Forbid).

It is a fact that Sirya , 'Harab , Gaava' \rerernade to give different meanings by later historians andbiographers. To weigh the words of HazratRasoolullah(SAs)n the balanceof later historians s nothingbut folly and stupidity. It will not get any praise fromhonestyand knowledge.

It is an irony that those who consider HazratRasoolullah(SN)'s attle only as Gazwa come to such lowlevel that they call the battle of Mahmud of Ghazni asGazwaand also he battle of SultanHussainsharqui. Suchpeople don't have any inclination to consider BandagiMiyan(R')'s battleas Gazw'a.Though it was the battle ofthe substitute f I*u*unu(AHS). acceptedby Allah whichshows he attributeof Quatilu and Qutilu in khambelandSudrason.t is off course n reality he Gazwa-e-Hind.

This argumentwill remain ncomplete nd defectiveif that part of the narration s not mentionedwhich is thesoul of this full event.Hazrat Mehdi(AHS)has not bestowed

the attributeof Quatilu and Qutilu to Bandagimiyan(k)in a cursory and superficialmanner that if it occurs it iswell, if it does not it mattersnot. On the other hand he(AHS)said t is the aayath'and hu1jath (a rrue proof) ofhis Mahdiyath.Hence he has,with greatstress.(thatt villsurely occur). F{e explained hat on the first day if you(Bandagi Miyantu) are singleand the whole world is youropponent, the whole world will be defeatedand on thesecond duy you will become a Martyr. This was theexplanation f

'Quatiluand Qutilu . The first day attributeof 'Quatilu will be manifested nd on the secondday theattributeof 'Qutilu . The same hing I-amun.(AHS) toldwith a stress hat lf Banda (lmamana(AHs); s Mahdi-Maud, this will happen. This small sentences so simpleand spontaneous nd so true that the like of it cannot befound anyrvhere.

This point is necessaryo explain hat throughouthiswhole life, Hazral Mahdi(AHS) kept hirnself on thecommandsof Allah and Quran and followed conformablyHazrat Rasoolullah(sAS)nd expressedheseas a proof ofhis Mahdiyath. Further he explained wo events hat were tohappenafter his death and theseare also the aayath' and hujjath of his Mahdiyath. f these hingsoccurred fterhisdeath n the way he had said hen t will be a clearproofofhis Mahdiyath.Of these he first verse o occur ust afterhis deathand the secondoccurredahout 20 yearsafter hisdeath.About the first event I-u-unu(AHS) said, 'After

putting me in the Grave. See if Bandu (AHS)is in the


24/25

grave, then I am not Mahdi and if I am not in the gravethen knowthat I am true Mahdi'"

About secondeventhe said " If I arn Mahdi-Maud'then the attribute of Quatilu-wa-Qutilu vill be

shown onyou (BandagiMiYantu.)'"

Praise to Allah both these eventsoccurredas toldby lrnu*unutaHsl. That is he (l*u*unuAHs) was notfound in his graveand the eventof Killing and beingKilledhappened n BandagiMiYan(tu)'

Due to this reason, hese wo eventsare counted nthe Quam collectively among the Mojizat of HazratX4u1'r61nHs).r. ShahQuasim Rh' Wrote thus:-

BandagiMiyan(R')'s battle is true just like thebattle

of Badar. tf the prsonsays with certainity that Bandagituttr""f*l's battlewas not like the Mojizat of Badar' he isa hypocriteand a persn who totally denies his SpecialMu,tyrdorn (Shahalat-e-Makhsosa) is a Kafir becauseH;; M"66itnHsl has in detail

spokenas a will (wasivat)for Bandagi Miyan(R'')' And, for the expressionof hisattributeof Quatilu and Qutilu he gavean indicationof thebattle of BandagiMiyan(R') Moreover the witnessof Hz'Miran Syed Mahmood Sani-e'Mahdi(tu.) also stresseshispoint. This information s famous(ref: Sirat-e-lman.page167). In otherwords he placeand importance f 'the battleof Quatilu-wa-Qutilu s the same or \'lahdi (AHS)as theplaceand importance f Battle of Badr' As the battle ofBadr was "Aayath"' "Hujjath" and 'Mojaiza" of Hzn"r""ftff"n (sAs) in the same way the expression f the

attribute (of Quatilu-wa-Qutilu) is Aayath , Hujjathand Mojaiza of Hz. Mahd; (AHS).As the battle fought at the place of Badr is called

the Battle of Badr, in the same way the Battle (to be)fought in India was named by the Holy tounge of HazratMohammedMustafah SN) as Cazwa-e-Hind
