The day the fire was lit that burned Afghanistan.
One hundred and fifty-five years ago, on Jawza 10, 1246, which was equal to May 31, 1867, Mawlana "Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi" and his comrades gathered in the village of "Deoband" in the city of "Saharanpur", 150 km northeast of New Delhi and founded Darululum Deoband. We don't care what prompted them to open this Darululum, but we know that what is happening today in Afghanistan was founded 155 years ago in that village of Deoband.
On the opening day of Darululum, Deoband Afghanistan was immersed in internecine wars between the sons of Amir Dost Mohammadkhan, but it did not have one problem, which is the mother of problems. This is the problem of religious extremism that Afghanistan is now facing and which has its roots in the Deobandi school. A school whose radical, dry, sharp and dogmatic views and ideas have shed the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent people around the world since its foundation, especially in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The story of Afghanistan and the region trapped in the flames of the Deobandi school began 40 days after the separation of Pakistan from India. The calendar showed September 23, 1947, when Mawlana Abdulhak, a student of the Deobandi school, with the support of Pakistani generals, opened the Darululum Haqqania - the Pakistani branch of the Deobandi school in the Akora Khattak district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan (The picture above is from the same school, taken four years ago ).
Since then, Darululum Haqqania, in addition to teaching religious studies, has always been the intellectual rear of the Pakistani army in proxy wars such as the conflict in Kashmir and later in the wars in Afghanistan. In fact, there have been few wars in the recent history of Islamic countries where there were no traces of the students of the Darululum Haqqani school.
Given the content and method of teaching it, as well as the Taliban experience, the Darululum Haqqani school was called the “university of war and jihad”. That is why the Haqqani Network, as the military wing of the Darululuma Haqqaniyeh, is known as one of the most dangerous and experienced militant groups in the world. According to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the current leader of the Network, he alone used 1,050 suicide bombers in the last two decades of the war in Afghanistan.
The connection of the Haqqani Network to Darululum Haqqani is so clear that Jalaluddin Haqqani, a former jihadist commander and founder of the Haqqani Network, got his pseudonym from the Haqqani school. And now, many members of the Taliban movement with the pseudonym Haqqani are proud of their connection with it. According to a recent admission by Maulana Yusufshah, spokesman for Darululum Haqqani, currently at least eight members of the Taliban cabinet are graduates of the Haqqani school, the school which is the Pakistani branch of the Deobandi school.
In a word, today (May 31) is the anniversary of the fire that broke out in the village of Deoband, which subsequently spread to the tribal zone of Pakistan and whose flames eventually engulfed Afghanistan, burned the country and wiped out everything that had the inhabitants of this land.
