Shoaib Akhtar’s video has now emerged on social media demonstrating him speaking of Ghazwa e Hind and also mentioning that Muslims will capture the whole of India.
Akhtar in this interview with a Pakistani news channel is heard saying, “it is also written about Ghazwa-e-Hind that Forces from Afghanistan will reach till Attock. Then after that forces will rise from Shamal Mashriq, different contingents will arrive from Uzbekistan, etc… This refers to Khorasan, a historical region that extended till Lahore. Later those forces will conquer Kashmir, and then, inshallah, they will march onwards (to the rest of Bharat)”
Shamal Mashriq appears to be Urdu term for the geographical region which is just north of the Arabian peninsula.
Ghazwa-e-Hind is an Islamic doctrine that is based on a Hadees (saying) of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, which prophesizes a great battle in Bharat between Muslims and Indians before the end-times (qayamat), resulting in a conquest by the Muslims of the entire Bharatiya sub-continent.
According to the prediction the final battle will supposedly start in Syria with the troops marching to Bharat. Armies carrying black flags will supposedly come from Khorasan, and conquer Bharat to make it a fully Islamic state.
