1. Madrasah e saulatiyah in Makkah

Begum Sawlat Nisa, she was of royal lineage and a descendant of Tipu Sultan. She paid for the establishment of the Madrassah. And therefore Maulana Rahmatullah Kairanwi RA named it after her.

2. Repairing and reconstruction of the canal of Zubaidah (Nahr e zubaidah)

When Maulana Khairuddin (RA) went for Hajj, he witnessed an acute water shortage in Makkah. Many pilgrims had lost their lives due to the lack of water. He discovered that this was the doing of the Bedouins, who had sabotaged the 'Nahr-e-Zubaida'—the sole source of water for Makkah—and were selling the water at exorbitant prices.

Upon returning to India, Maulana raised funds (approximately one million). Engineers were brought in from across the globe, including India; the canal was repaired, and measures were taken to ensure that the Bedouins could not damage it in the future.

I request members to recall and share similar incidents. I have heard that many Muslim rulers, such as Aurangzeb (RA), played a significant role in the construction and development of the Haramain.

3. Free housing facilities for Hajees, Rubaath

A few Indian rulers like Nizams of Hyderabad and Nawabs of Bhopal, Arcot, and Tonk had established free housing facilities in Makkah and Madina for pilgrims belonging to their territorial areas, which were called ‘Rubath’ or ‘Rubat’.

4. Contribution by Mughals

Annual Subsidies & Mir Hajj: Emperors like Akbar regularly sent large sums of money (often upwards of 500,000 to 600,000 rupees) along with an appointed Mir Hajj (pilgrimage leader) to distribute charity to the poor, scholars, and residents of Makkah and Madinah.

Aurangzeb’s Stipends: Emperor Aurangzeb routinely dispatched vast monetary grants to pious individuals and scholars living in retreat in the holy cities. He also funded deputies on daily stipends to perform Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba) and other rituals on his behalf.

She is related to me idiot, and we are not Indians at all and never were.

She was from Hyderabad and not India!!! Hyderabad was a Muslim state never ruled by the British or Hindus.

History of Hyderabad (for laymen):

Hyderabad was a Muslim state with its own Army, functional Government and familial ties with the Ottoman Empire from the time Aurangzeb granted this land to Nizam's ancestors in 1687.

Indian Army invaded Hyderabad on September 13, 1948 under Operation Polo. This was the flag which Indian Army snatched away

3 specific areas were taken over by Indian Army after 1947:

Hyderabad: This is in the middle of India with no links of either Pakistan or Bangladesh so once the population was siege and deprived of water/food, India took it over. To this day, the weddings, customs, ceremonies are largely based on Ottoman Empire, the Ulama and noblemen wear Sherwani and Ottoman cap, old people still keep the flag see below
Kashmir: You all know about this
Junagadh (Gujarat): Borders Pakistan and it was agreed that it will become part of Pakistan but due to treachery of father of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (later Prime Minister of Pakistan), the treaty was sabotaged and it became part of India. To this day, the descendants of Nawab ascribe it to Pakistan.

Here is my cousin Yasir Qadhi talking about Hyderabad

Issue is not Yasir Qadhi and supporting him but this overview of history of Hyderabad is pretty good...

My great-great-great-grandfather tried to organize a Jihad party for Syed Ahmed Shaheed and possibly went to Hajj with him
My great-grandfather beat up and killed a British Army Captain in this village and then fled for his life around 1883 a few KM from this Mosque and never seen again
My grandfather donated the land in our village which is today the Tableeghi Markaz of our village, it was smaller back in 1920s
My father was born yards away from this Masjid.
My ancestors moved here from Afghanistan in 1500s when they came for Jihad with Muslim Army and the fields were given to them for cultivation as a result of bravery in Jihad against Hindus, our crops are about 1 KM from this Mosque.

This entire District of India is named after my ancestors who fought with Aurangzeb in Jihad against the Hindus to this day!

5. Gujratis contribution to defend Jeddah and Makkah from Portugese.

A Forgotten Indian Muslim Contribution: When the Portuguese plotted to attack Jeddah & desecrate Mecca, the Muzaffarid Sultanate of Gujarat provided all the defense funding. With heartfelt devotion, Indian Muslims filled three ships with riches to safeguard the Prophet's honor.

Dear Idiot,

My ancestors attacked India, shed blood, conquered it in Jihad and ruled it. It is prediction of Rasul-ullah (saw)

that the center of Shirk aka India will disintegrate and be ruled by Islam again

www.muftisays.com/forums/27-sharing-portal/13256-dajjal-j...

Tawheed and Shirk cannot live on the same land and Tawheed will always win.

This has nothing to do with the state of Pakistan.

Jews and Hindus are both extreme in their hatred for Islam and both will have a downfall at the hands of Islam.

Loading Qur'aan Verse

You and cowards such as yourself can go and kiss the smelly feet of Mushirk Hindus! The Hindus have temporary ascendancy because it is will of Allah Ta'ala until it ends and it is a matter of WHEN the Hindu temporary ascendancy ends in India

6. Indians Stopped demolition of Green Dome

In 1343 AH, when the Saudis planned to demolish the Green Dome, a delegation from India arrived in Saudi Arabia. The delegation included Mufti Kifayatullah, Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, Allamah Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, and Maulana Shaukat Ali.

In the presence of the Saudi King, the Deobandi scholar Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani delivered a stirring and faith-inspiring address. Consequently, the decision to demolish the Green Dome of the blessed Raudah mubarak was revoked.

7. Establishing a Hanafi madrasah in Madeenah:

The Sultan of Bengal, Ghiyathuddin Azam Shah, founded the Ghiyathiyyah madrasah in Madeenah near Bab as-Salam of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi during the early 15th century to support multiple schools of Islamic law, including the Hanafi madhhab.

Zero evidence of this ever happening either in Saudi sources, Islamic history or by Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Usmani (RA) himself and by the way here is the profile of Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Usmani (RA):

Disagreed with Darul-uloom Deoband on united India
Resigned from his position at Darul-uloom Deoband
Supported the creation of Pakistan inline with opinion of Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (RA)
Performed the Salatul-Jaznazah of Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA), in opposition to Indian Ulama who considered Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) a Secular, a Kaafir or Modernist or Shia or whatever...

In other words, Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Usmani (RA) was a clear heretic according to Indian Muslims but there is no confirmation of this incident.

Even if this incident did happen, it wasn't by an "Indian"...

Shams-ud-Din Muzaffar Shah I (born Zafar Khan; 30 June 1342 – 10 January 1411) was a Gujjar (Jatt) and not a Gujarati who founded this dynasty.

Although he ruled over Gujarat.

Most likely he was Gujjar from today's Pakistan or maybe from Haryana 100% was not a Gujarati at all.

His Aunty converted to Islam and married Firuz Shah Tughlaq (1309 – 20 September 1388) and although the tomb of Firuz Shah Tughlaq Tomb in Delhi says about her "Gujarati Begum" but historically it is Gujjari Begum because her family were clearly Gujjar

It is because he built Gujari Mahal for her in Haryana, Punjab and we have the ruins of it even today

She was 100% was not a Gujarati at all but Gujjar. From all Account she was a pious woman and Zafar Khan was also pious and did not drink which attracted Tuqlaq to select him over other parts of her family who had Alcohol addiction issues but we are not certain about what made Zafar Khan a candidate to rule in Gujarat.

What we do know for sure is that neither her nor Zafar Khan were Gujarati at all.

All of these accomplishments are down to Islam and Muslims and cannot be categorized as "Indian" in the sense of Hindu-loving Indian Muslims.

Zafar Khan 1: No to Ethnic Superiority: Yes to Islam

The first story is from Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA), a Hindu convert, a Sunnah following Muslim who rose to the rank of commander under Alauddin Khalji.

Sultan Alauddin Khalji divided his Army under 6 commanders, 5 were Afghan and 6th was Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) a converted Indian Hindu against the Mongol invasion.

The Battle of Kili was fought in 1299 near Delhi and Mongols had already devastated the main Muslim lands and now set their eyes on India

Sultan Alauddin Khalji knew about the ferocity of Mongol (tartars) and the number of around 100,000 and issued explicit orders on fight strategy and tactics

Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) a recent Hindu convert disobeyed the Sultan:

Charged at the Mongols headlong
Chased them on horseback for over multiple KMs
Then gathered his forces which were behind them and plunged into the Mongol ranks
While on horseback, furious Sultan Alauddin Khalji sent a messenger for him to fallback
Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) did consult his companions Usman Akhur-beg, Usman Yaghan, Ali Shah Rana-i-Pil, and others which were a mixed of Afghan, Turkic and Indian origin and and Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) ignored Sultan Alauddin Khalji and decided to become Shaheed.
800 of them fought against thousands of battle hardened Mongol (tartars) and killed over 5,000 of them.
The Mongols were stunned by their loses and retreated at the ferocity of 800 Muslims led by a Hindu convert
Sultan Alauddin Khalji (RA) was so angry and so furious at this disobedience that he decided to ban the mention of Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) and his companions from Royal history and confiscated their land and properties.
Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) property and name were restored decades later as the son of Sultan (Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah) restored the title of Zafar Khan to another Hindu convert General of his Army
Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) first fought on horseback, then on foot, then by arrows and then with a broken sword until he had no strength and no weapon

The name Zafar Khan since the original Hizabruddin Zafar Khan (RA) in India often denotes a converted Hindu of renowned bravery OR a vicious commander of Indian origin i.e. Zafar means Victory in Persian, Turkish and Urdu

Zafar Khan 2: No to Ethnic Superiority: Yes to Islam

This is a very good lesson here for those who Allah Ta'ala has granted a sharp mind, consider the following facts about Shams-ud-Din Muzaffar Shah I (30 June 1342 – 10 January 1411) who was born as Zafar Khan

Born to a Hindu converted Woman named Saharan
Ethnically Punjabi Gujjar
Ruled in Gujarat
Related and owed allegiance to Firuz Shah Tughlaq who was an Turkic Afghan
Detects a threat against Haramain by the Portuguese
Mobilizes a "small" Naval armada, although the Ottoman Empire was a huge Naval power and didn't need any help! But Zafar Khan felt that he needed to do something to protect the Haramain

Both Zafar Khan were clearly following Islam and protecting Muslim and not India

Bollywood and Hindus specifically hate these two Zafar Khans because of their Hindu origin (conversion to Islam) and the Sultans they served!

What is the point of this thread's title? By "Indians" do you mean the Hindus are contributing to Haramain? Or just the Indian Muslims? And if the latter, then Muslims would of course contribute, who else will? We do it to please Allah. What's the point of assigning an ethnicity to this act? What are you trying to prove? Your undying love for the piece of land you were born in? It means nothing towards your endgame.

Also, none of these contributions have anything to do with the modern Indian Muslims. These are all acts of our akabir who were at a completely different level emaan-wise compared to the Indian Muslims of today.
