New Medina

  • ... that Pakistan was envisioned as the New Medina which will be used as a staging point for the conquest and Islamisation of India, similar to the conquest of Mecca by Muhammad? Source: "The Barelvis were in favour of following Muhammad's Hijrah model under which Pakistan would be the "New Medina" that will be used for staging an attack against the rest of Hindu India and converting to Islam, similar to the conquest of pagan Mecca. (Dixit, 2020) In the January 1946 Lahore conference of the JUI, Usmani prophesized that just as Medina acted as a base for the Islamic conquest of Arabian Peninsula and the rest of the world beyond it, Pakistan will also lead the way for Islam to be the ruling power in the Indian subcontinent. (Usmani, 1946)
