The Shariah Solution for Occupation of Muslim Land Is Not Only Its Liberation, It Includes the Implementation of Shariah Upon It

August 23, 2026; SRINAGAR: The Federation of Chambers of Industries Kashmir (FCIK) has opposed the latest power tariff order of the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC), alleging that industrial consumers have effectively been burdened with a nearly 10 per cent increase in their principal energy charges.

The disputes between the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir and the Hindu State are many, including expensive electricity, which is crippling what remains of their industry. Private companies of the ruling Hindu elite dominate power generation, such as Tata Power, Torrent Power, Adani Power and the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC) of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group. In addition, the government of Modi has announced its intent to privatize power distribution in October 2025. Thus, under India’s capitalist system, whilst private companies make huge profits from the price of power during its sale, the community (جماعة jamaa’ah) of Muslims and their industry suffer.
The electricity crisis in Occupied Kashmir highlights that the obligation upon the Islamic Ummah is not only liberation of occupied land, it includes the implementation of Shariah comprehensively to grant the Muslims their full rights. The implementation of the Shariah ruling regarding power and energy indeed will revive industry in Kashmir. In Shariah Law, the energy sector is neither private nor state property. It is one of the utilities of the community (مرافق الجماعة muraafiq ul-jamaa’ah) public property which means the Muslims collectively own power and its price in any sale. Thus, the Khaleefah (Caliph) will deposit the price from sales of power in the Baytul Maal (State Treasury) to spend on the needs of the community, including investment in the power sector itself, such as developing run of the Run-of-river hydroelectricity (ROR) within Kashmir, which avoids the negative consequences of dams.
The Shariah ruling regarding power is evidenced by the Prophet (saw) saying, «المسلمون شركاء في ثلاث في الماء والكلأ والنار»“Muslims are partners in three things: in water, pastures and fire,” reported by Abu Dawud. Anas narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas adding, «وثمنه حرام» “And its price is inviolable.” In Arabic, fire is a metonym for power, that which generates heat and motion, as opposed to light. In addition, the Khaleefah is not allowed to impose taxation on the sales of power, as that is a violation of the privately held wealth of the Muslims without any Shariah right.
The Shariah ruling regarding power is in addition to the Shariah command for the unification of the Muslim lands, which pools the resources of the Ummah, ensuring that the weakness of one region, is compensated by the strength of another. Currently, both Occupied Kashmir and Bangladesh import electricity from the Hindu State. In a letter sent to the Finance Division of Bangladesh on 18 August, the Power Division said a Settlement Nodal Agency (SNA) agreement needs to be signed between the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVN), an Indian state-owned company. This is amidst India seeking to impose a new charge on the electricity it exports to Bangladesh, demanding 0.005 Indian rupees per unit. If the charge is added, the cost of imported electricity will increase, adding to the burdens of the Muslims of Bangladesh and their industry. So, if this is the situation of an “independent” country the size of Bangladesh, what can be expected from a much smaller “independent Kashmir?” Certainly, the unification of all the current Muslim lands under one Khaleefah will end dependency on the disbelievers.
It is clear that the current rulers of Pakistan will never achieve what Shariah obligates of liberation, unification and implementation of Shariah. As for the implementation of Shariah, the economic situation of Muslims in Azad (Liberated) Kashmir and all of Pakistan is as awful as that of the Muslims in Occupied Kashmir and all of India, due to the absence of Shariah Law. Certainly, the capitalism of the rulers of Pakistan is as destructive as that of the rulers of the Hindu State. Whilst the Western colonialists left, their oppressive economic system of capitalism remained, and all that changed was that Christian rulers were replaced by rulers of Muslims and Hindus. Such is the reality of “independence.” It is only independence from the direct rule of the colonialists, but not liberation from the source of their evil and oppression, capitalism and other laws of disbelief. As for liberation and unification, in obedience of the US, the rulers of Pakistan first abandoned the Muslims of Kashmir in August 2019 to annexation by the Hindu State, and then prevented the liberation of Occupied Kashmir in May 2025 when Pakistan Air Force achieved air superiority against India.
Muslims of Pakistan must turn away from the rulers of Pakistan and their system of subordination to the colonialists and implementation of the laws of disbelief. And all the Muslims must abandon calls for liberation and independence on any basis other than the Shariah Law of Allah (swt), including the rotten call of nationalism, which has already torn the Ummah to pieces, weakening it before its enemies. The Islamic Ummah in its entirety must strive for the re-establishment of the Second Khilafah Rashidah which will liberate Occupied Kashmir, unify it with the abode of Islam and revive it through the implementation of the Shariah Law of Allah (swt). Thus, the Second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) will make Kashmir a shining example for all the oppressed people of the Hindu State, ahead of the removal of the Hindu tyrants that rule them, by military officers who walk the blessed path of Muhammad bin Qassim, may Allah (swt) widen his grave, fill it with light, and raise his status in Jannah.
