The Arab–Islamic Imperialismthem until they are subdued and subjugated to Muslim rule [Quran 9:29]. This way Muslims must completethe establishment of an imperial Islamic state of global expanse.The global imperial Islamic state also has a colonial dimension of economic exploitation and gains.Allah commands Muslims to plunder the wealth of the infidels in Jihadi wars as sacred booty: ‘(Allah)inherited you their land, their homes, their money, and lands you had never stepped on. God is able to do allthings’ [Quran 33:27]. Allah not only commands Muslims to plunder booty, He also takes a share of it: ‘Andknow that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah and hisMessenger…’ [Quran 8:41]. Furthermore, Allah commands Muslims to impose taxes upon the defeated andsubjugated dhimmi subjects, the Jews and Christians etc. [Quran 9:29], for enriching the coffer of the Islamicstate.Therefore, the Quran evidently outlines a module for the establishment of a colonial state of globalexpanse, albeit of divine nature. Prophet Muhammad had meticulously acted upon every command of Allahand established, with Allah’s unfurling assistance, a prototypical model of Islamic rule, which was ideallycolonial and imperial in nature. He came to Medina with his followers from a foreign land as refugees. Hesoon established a foreign rule and an Islamic state in Medina by exterminating the non-submissive Jewishtribes one after another, while the Pagans—through coercion or the lure of booty—became assimilated intohis militant religious community. Once the foreign Islamic rule was established in Medina, it became thelaunching-pad for further conquest and imperial expansion beyond its borders.The ideal example of establishing a colonial rule by Prophet Muhammad was the conquest ofKhaybar. Under no provocation, he led a large Muslim army against Khaybar in May 628. After defeating theJews, he put the men of fighting-age to death, captured their wealth and treasures, and carried away theirwomen and children as slaves. The surviving Jewish men (the old ones) were spared and allowed to tend theirlands. The Prophet imposed upon them a heavy tax, 50 percent of the produce, to be remitted into the overseastreasury of the Islamic state, based in Medina. But this arrangement was to continue until Muslims werecapable of taking possession of the Khaybar lands by themselves. The second Caliph Omar (d. 644) laterexpelled the Jews altogether in accordance with the Prophet’s last wishes.Similarly, Allah granted the "women, children, and flocks" of the Hawazin and Thaqif tribes ‘asbooty to His Messenger, who divided the spoils among those Quraysh who had recently embraced Islam,’records al-Tabari. 342 By the time Muhammad died, he had established a nascent Islamic empire in the ArabianPeninsula by expanding colonial Islamic domination over the Christian, Jewish and Pagan strongholds.Whenever, he conquered a foreign land by the force of arms or by threats—the people, particularly theidolaters, were converted to Islam on the pain of death, their religious institutions were destroyed, andrestrictions were imposed on their religious and cultural practices. Most of all, he plundered the wealth andtreasures, including enslaving the women and children of the vanquished, and imposed taxes, namely jizyahand kharaj, upon them. This was a perfect template of colonial rule, involving both economic exploitationsand socio-cultural degradations to the extreme.Muhammad’s conquest of Khaybar was evidently a perfect example of conquering a foreign land forestablishing a colonial rule. The difference between the prophetic and later European models of colonial ruleis that the Europeans, in most instances, did not enslave the women and children of the conquered lands andsend them to the imperial capitals of Europe. Secondly, the Europeans probably never evicted the entirepopulation from the lands they conquered and colonized.This ideal model of imperial expansion and colonial exploitation established by Prophet Muhammadwas, after his death, embraced by his immediate successor caliphs and later Muslim rulers throughout theentire period of medieval Islamic domination. Within two decades of Muhammad’s death, the powerfulPersian Empire was under the feet of Islam, while Byzantium, the most powerful empire of the time, had lost342. al-Tabari, Vol. IX, p. 3114
Islamic Jihada big chunk of its crown territory to the ever-expanding Islamic empire. Toward the late medieval period,when the Ottoman sultans were at the forefront of imperial Islamic expansion, the Islamic army, under thebanner of Jihad, reached the gates of Vienna twice in their effort to incorporate Europe into the Islamicempire.Islam, therefore, was founded at its birth as an imperial, colonial power by Prophet Muhammad inaccordance with the divine instructions of Allah. In time, Islam went on to establish the greatest colonialempire of the medieval world and sustained the longest period in the history of imperial colonialism. Later on,the rival European colonists started dismantling it in the mid-eighteenth century. But how many people in theworld have heard the term "Islamic imperialism" or "Islamic colonialism", although European colonialism isfirst thing one learns about world history.THE PERCEPTION OF ISLAMIC RULEMuslims, growing up in the subcontinent, are taught to be proud of Islam’s heroic and glorious past in India.Special adulation is reserved for the three great Islamic heroes, Muhammad bin Qasim, Sultan Mahmud ofGhazni and Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, for their decisive roles in firmly establishing the Muslim faith inHindustan. Qasim was the first to bring the light of Islam to the India proper through his conquest of Sindh in712. Then Sultan Mahmud came along in 1000 CE and made seventeenth brilliant expeditions to India,bringing with him an unrelenting determination to further the spread of Islamic glory amongst benightedinfidels of the subcontinent. From a Muslim perspective, he became a model of perseverance for spreading thelight of Islam. Drawing on Sultan Mahmud’s undying determination as an example, Muslim children are toldto increase their determination and perseverance to achieve their goals in life.Emperor Aurangzeb (r. 1658–1707) is another great Islamic hero amongst Muslim rulers of India; heplayed a critical role in saving Islam in India by reversing enlightened Akbar’s deviant and liberal policies,harmful to Islam. Akbar had attempted to synthesize a new composite religion, called Din-i-Ilahi—religion ofGod, which could extinguish the light of Islam in India forever. His great grandson Dara Sikoh followed inhis footsteps to reinvigorate the synthesis of Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Aurangzeb, a fanatical SunniMuslim, waged Jihad against his heretical brother Dara Sikoh, the heir-apparent to the throne, and put him todeath on the accusation of apostasy. Aurangzeb also patronized the composition of the Fatwa-i-Alamgiri, agreat compendium of Hanafi laws, which, neglected for a long time, helped bring the wayward Islam to theright path in India. In sum, Aurangzeb rescued and revived a decaying Islam and saved it from its decadenceand likely extinction in India. He also prospered it by patronizing the conversion of non-Muslims to Islam byforce and other forms of compulsion and inducements. During his fifty-year rule, he brought the full force ofIslam to bear on the state policy—so much so that, the majority of the Muslims in Northern India trace theirIslamic roots to their ancestors’ conversion in Aurangzeb’s reign. These three great Islamic conquerors andrulers brought and propagated the light of the glorious religion of truth in the dark, decadent and idolatrousland of India. Islam’s arrival marked the beginning of a great civilization in India, replacing its worthlessjahiliyah (ignorance) past. So goes the Islamic discourse!This remains the general impression of Islamic rule in India not only amongst Muslims; it is also thedominant opinion amongst modern historians of non-Muslim backgrounds. The history books in Pakistanteach: ‘Before Mohammed (Qasim) there is blackness: slavery, exploitation. After Mohammed, there is light:slavery and exploitation vanish.’ 343 In India, the general theme of this School of history writing has beensuccinctly described by Shashi Sharma:343.
