Question:
Assalam u alayekum!
There are many ahadith about Ghazwatul Hind. Some people are talking that in 2013 a war will take place between pakistan and india. Is it true that this ghazwa is yet to take place?and would it take place in 2013?
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
“Two groups in my Community Allah has protected against Hellfire: the group that will raid India and the group that will be with `Isa b. Maryam.”
This is a sound narration from Thawban by al-Nasa’i in his Sunan and al-Sunan al-Kubra (3:28 #4384), Ahmad (37:81 #22396 hasan), al-Bukhari in al-Tarikh al-Kabir (6:72 #1747), Ibn Abi `Asim in al-Jihad (2:665 #288), al-Tabarani in al-Awsat (7:23-24 #6737 cf. al-Haythami 5:282) and Musnad al-Shamiyyin (#1851), al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (9:176), and Ibn `Asakir in Tarikh Dimashq (15:197).
It is more likely that the first scenario has already taken place and it is certain that the second one has not yet taken place and is the better of the two. Therefore, may Allah Most High make us part of the latter group.
Hajj Gibril
