Thanksgiving Day Celebrations with Unity and Belief along with Pakistan-Saudi Arabia Defense Agreement!
Thanksgiving Day assumed a historical importance throughout Pakistan as mosques reverberated with sermons and prayers of thanks over the just-signed Pakistan-Saudi Arabia Defense Agreement. The focal ceremony was held at Lahore’s Royal Mosque, where celebrated scholars and religious elders gathered to contemplate the far-reaching implications of the agreement. Their words struck a chord in the perception that this agreement is not only a political achievement but also a deep spiritual vow to the safeguarding of Islam’s most revered locations.
Scholars’ Voices: Safeguarding the Haramain Sharifain
Addressing the gathering, Maulana Abdul Khair Azad termed the agreement as “the voice of the hearts of not only Pakistan but the entire Muslim Ummah.” He underlined that the protection of the Haramain Sharifain—Makkah and Madinah—is part of Muslim faith and identity. He welcomed the defense alliance as a testament to strength in unity and a testimony of unrelenting determination towards the sanctity of Islam’s symbol names.
Allama Sajjad Jawadi also expressed the same views, emphasizing that upholding responsibility of guarding the holy places is a reflection of Pakistani people’s unity. He announced that defending the Khana Kaaba and Masjid-e-Nabvi ï·º is not only an honor but also a pride for all Muslims.
Asim Munir Praised for Historic Role
The name of Field Marshal General Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff, Pakistan, was mentioned again and again in the meetings. Allama Naeem Pasha referred to him as lucky, explaining that Allah has picked him to be trusted with the responsibility of guarding the House of Allah. But he also made a grave threat: “Israel’s real target is not Qatar but Makkah and Madinah.” His statement made the importance of making a move against any threat to Islam’s holiest shrines most pertinent.
Burying the Greater Israel Plan
Contributing to the discussion, Allama Tahir Ashrafi asserted that the Pakistan-Saudi relationship is not only about politics but about faith, belief, and shouldering responsibility together. He referred to the pact as a historic step against the aggressive designs in the region, adding: “This agreement will bury the Greater Israel plan and give new strength to the Muslim Ummah.” His statements underscored the way the defense treaty has regional as well as international implications, marking a new era of Muslim unity.
A Day of Collective Prayers
During the day, mosques in Pakistan turned into points of sincere supplication. Muslims prayed for the enduring vigor of the partnership between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, safety for Haramain Sharifain, and the solidarity of the Muslim Ummah. Gratitude filled the air as believers appreciated the treaty as a step toward strengthening faith-based bonds between the two countries.
A Spiritual and Strategic Milestone
The Thanksgiving Day festivities looked beyond happiness—these were a moment of religious revival and strategic determination. The Pakistan-Saudi defense agreement is not merely between two states; it is a commitment to the joint defense of Islam’s holiest places and an enhanced vow of brotherhood in the Muslim Ummah.
As Pakistanis prayed and stood in solidarity with Saudi Arabia, the event served as a reminder to the world that whenever religion and unity come together, even the strongest of odds can be overcome with vigor and resilience.
