“War” is destruction, ruin, and the annihilation of humanity

 Wars bring devastation. The destruction, loss of values, and obliteration of nations happen because of these wars. Since the Pahlgam incident, India has been pressuring Pakistan from the very beginning, and it seemed like they would eventually attack. Tonight’s Indian action is clear proof that they are trying to harm Pakistan. They are eager to snatch Pakistan’s breath away and even want to obliterate everything if they could.

The cost of wars is high. Ordinary civilians, especially soldiers, often lose their lives. Naturally, the wounds from such losses—both blood and money—do not heal quickly. If both countries have forgotten the damages caused by the wars of 1965, 1971, and 1999, then let me remind you. But! This is a matter of national pride, honor, and defending our homeland. It is about protecting our dignity, our integrity, and our lives. One side dreams of destroying you and believes the only solution is your ruin. Surely, you shouldn’t sleep peacefully in this dream. You need to wake up and stay alert, so that your future generations are not punished for your negligence. These borders, these powerful skies of our homeland, and the unmatched blessings gifted by Allah demand that you get up and strengthen yourself. Make your identity known and realize that these responsibilities are not given to you without reason. You are the great soldiers of this vast world of boundaries and limits, whose signs and symbols Allah Himself has described in the Holy Quran.

Our current condition is not that of a soldier praised and honored by Allah, who is even included among the “living” after death. Still, sinking into deep despair is cowardice.

War is damaging a nation's pride. It is a story of anger, burning, and spreading terror, with a villain like a “Dracula” at its center. After the Pahlgam incident, it seems India developed a strong desire to play the role of that Dracula. India should not boast about its power, arrogance, and growing economy. Both sides suffer terribly from the horrific consequences of war. The losses—whether two, three, or four—will be felt on both sides. If I get wounds myself, I’ll see the scar of that pain. If I cry out, there will be echoes of groans elsewhere. When we issue reports of soldiers’ sacrifices, smoke of fires will rise from the other side too. War results in loss of life, injuries to hundreds or thousands, and is a terrible curse for both sides.

 Therefore, avoid wars and promote dialogue. The sparks of passion and enthusiasm are fleeting—they ignite quickly and then die out. Our top priority should be security and brotherhood. However, compromising on national pride and honor is also cowardly.
