CONQUEST OF INDIA PRIOR TO THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

The latest conflict in Kashmir between the mujahideen and India brings to mind
the ahadeeth regarding the conquest of India prior to the day of Judgment.
Thawban - may Allah be pleased with him - that the Messenger of Allah
(sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Two groups of my umma Allah has protected
from the hellfire: a group that will conquer India and a group that will be with
'Isa b. Maryam - 'alaihimas- salat was-salam." Reported Ahmad, an-Nisa'i, and
at-Tabarani.
Na'im b. Hammad in al-Fitan reports that Abu Huraira - may Allah be pleased with
him - said that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) mentioned
India and said, "A group of you will conquer India, Allah will open for them
[India] until they come with its kings chained - Allah having forgiven their
sins - when they return back [from India], they will find Ibn Maryam in Syria."
While Abu Huraira said, "The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam)
promised us the conquest of India. If I was to come across that I will spend my
soul and wealth. If I am killed then I am among the best of martyrs. And if I
return then I am Abu Huraira the freed." Reported by Ahmad, an-Nisa'i, and
al-Hakim.
In another narration reported by Ahmad, Abu Huraira says, "I was told by my
khalil, teh truthful and believed in, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi
wa sallam) that there will be in this umma an expedition sent to Sind and Hind
(India) ... ." The rest of the narration is the same but it has the following
addition, "... then I will be released from the Hellfire." At-Tuwaijri remarks
this addition explains what is meant by "the freed" above.
Historical background:
Ibn Kathir remarks in al-Bidaya wa n-Nihaya, "The Muslims invaded India during
the days of Mu'awiya in the year 44 A.H and [great] events transpired then. And
[likewise] the mighty and magnificent King Mahmud b. Subuktikin the ruler of
Ghazna invaded the lands of India at the turn of the fifth century. He entered
India and killed, took captive, [and] enslaved [many]. He took [muc] booty. He
entered as-Sumanat (*) and destroyed the great al-Budda which they worship and
he stripped it of its jewlery. He then returned [to Ghazna] safe,
[Divinely-]aided, and victorious."
* as-Sumanat is a costal city where India's scholars, monks, and the idol
al-Budda are found.
At-Tuwaijiri remarks that Ibn al-Athir has detailed the campaigns of Mahmud b.
Subuktikin in his book al-Kamil fi t-Tarikh.

It is reported by Thauban, the freed slave of the Holy Prophet that the holy
Prophet (PBUH) observed: "God will grant protection from Hell-fire to two groups
from among the people of my Ummah. One group consists of those who will invade
India; the other group will consist of those who will align themselves with
Christ, son of Mary(PBUH)." (Nasa'i,Kitab ul-jihad;Musnad ahmad, Bisilsila
Riwayat Thauban)

The Messenger of Allah (saw) motivated us with the prophecy of our fate. He
(saw) foretold of people from amongst this Ummah that will conquer India
entirely and then meet 'Isa b. Maryam (as) in Bilaad ash-Sham. "A group of you
will conquer India, Allah will open for them [India] until they come with its
kings chained - Allah having forgiven their sins - when they return back [from
India], they will find Ibn Maryam in Syria" [Na'im b. Hammad in al-Fitan reports
from Abu Hurairah].
Abu Huraira said to this: "the Messenger (saw) promised us the conquest of
India. If I was to come across that, I will spend my soul and my wealth. If I am
killed then I am among the best of martyrs, and if I return then I am Abu
Huraira the freed" [Ahmad, An-Nisa'i, Al-Hakim
