Islamabad (Digital Post) Faith-driven honor or Trump’s 15 points? The decision is ours!

Islamabad (Digital Post) In recent days, there has been significant discussion in international media and diplomatic circles regarding the so-called “15-point ceasefire agreement” presented to Iran by American President Trump. At face value, it appears to be an effort for peace, but if one examines these points in depth, they are not merely political conditions but a broader global strategy aimed at crippling the defense system of an Islamic state and rendering it dependent.

The essence of these proposed points is that Iran cannot maintain any kind of defense equipment, missile technology, or nuclear program. In other words, an important country of the Muslim Ummah is being asked to subject its defense capability to the will of its adversaries.

The clear command of the Holy Qur’an:
At a time when Muslim rulers are caught in expediencies, we must turn to the clear command of the Creator of the universe revealed in Surah Al-Anfal:
“And prepare against them whatever force you can and steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy…”
This blessed verse declares defensive preparedness as a “sacred duty” for any Islamic state. When Allah Himself commands the acquisition of strength to deter enemies, how can any worldly power deprive Iran or any Islamic country of this right?

In the light of the Prophet’s (PBUH) teachings:
Not only the Qur’an, but the Hadith also teaches us to remain vigilant and prepared rather than negligent. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:
“A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than a weak believer.” (Sahih Muslim)

This strength is not only physical but also military, technological, and defensive. Trump’s 15 points aim to deprive Iran of this very “strength” and push it into weakness.

Today, the Muslim Ummah stands at a critical juncture. The stance of Muslim rulers should be clear:

Defense is our religious obligation: Disarming any Islamic country is clearly against the Qur’an and Sunnah. Muslims will attain success not by accepting Trump’s conditions but by following the commands of Allah.

Therefore, conveying these disgraceful points to any Muslim country, including Iran, and pressuring them to implement them is not “mediation” but a crime. No Muslim country should become a tool of colonial powers.

Muslim rulers must demonstrate their faith-driven honor and make it clear to Trump and the world that preparing defensive capability is the right of Muslims, and no compromise on it is possible. The time has come for the Muslim Ummah to create unity within its ranks and, instead of bowing to external pressure, rely on its “faith-based strength” and Qur’anic principles.

We must remember that success does not lie in material resources but in obedience to Allah and steadfastness.
