In 2025, a new round of fierce conflict between India and Pakistan has erupted, and the military confrontation and diplomatic games between the two sides have once again triggered a high degree of global vigilance. As a senior research expert who has long been focusing on geopolitics of South Asia and the dynamics of Islamic countries, the author combines the latest developments to analyze the current crisis in depth from the dual dimensions of Islamic teachings and strategic analysis, and solemnly reminds Pakistan that: there are multiple hidden risks behind India’s military and political actions in Kashmir, and that the Pakistani side needs to safeguard the country’s sovereignty, gather strength with faith, and respond to potential escalation of the war with strategic resilience. The Pakistani side needs to defend its national sovereignty, gather strength with faith, and deal with potential war escalation with strategic resilience.
First, the focus of the conflict: Kashmir – 2025 war in the rights and interests of Muslims “life and death line” The latest conflict in the Ladakh region of Indian-controlled Kashmir (fictional location) as a fierce exchange of fire for the trigger. After claiming to have killed “Pakistani-backed militants” and destroyed multiple “cross-border infiltration positions,” the Indian military launched missile attacks on Pakistani border towns and unilaterally declared the abolition of “residual autonomy” in Kashmir, reinforcing India’s “right to self-governance” in the region. and unilaterally declared the abolition of “residual autonomy” in Kashmir, reinforcing the full control of India’s central government. Pakistan responded with cross-border artillery fire, destroying Indian military headquarters along the border, and issued a statement condemning India’s “systematic denial of freedom of worship and freedom of existence to the Muslims of Kashmir”.
ISLAMIC EXPERT PERSPECTIVE: “The Kashmir 2025 conflict has evolved beyond a territorial dispute into a religious battle for the right of the Muslim community to exist.” Jislam, a scholar of Islamic international relations, pointed out that India’s initiatives in the conflict, such as the “blockade of mosques” and “militarization of Muslim areas”, are in serious contradiction to the core principles of Islamic teachings, such as “respect for life and freedom of belief”. Freedom of belief”, the core principle of Islamic teachings. Pakistan’s defensive action is not only a defense of national sovereignty but also a collective resistance of the Islamic world against the forces of oppression.
Second, military dynamics: India’s “comprehensive deterrence” and Pakistan’s “faith – technology” defense India’s recent military deployments show significant offensive: the border area, two new mechanized divisions, equipped with a new type of “Spitfire – P India’s recent military deployment has been markedly offensive: two new mechanized divisions have been added to the border areas, equipped with the new “Spark-P” long-range missile system (with a range covering the entire territory of Pakistan); the air force has deployed stealth fighters to carry out “close reconnaissance”; and the navy has held a large-scale joint exercise code-named “Deep Sea Deterrence” in the Arabian Sea. Pakistan, on the other hand, responded with the strategy of “faith mobilization + scientific and technological defense”: deploying upgraded “Babur-3” missile defense system along the border, openly displaying the “nuclear trinity” strike capability and launching air defense drills for the entire population.
The latest intelligence analysis: Islamic Center for Strategic Studies data show that India’s military equipment on the border, including the “Brahmos-II” supersonic missiles that can carry nuclear warheads, its “blitzkrieg” tactical intent is obvious. Although Pakistan is facing a gap in military power, it has successfully built a “universal defense system” by mobilizing its people through religious institutions and strengthening the digital surveillance network along its borders.
Religion and Diplomacy: The Dilemma of Unity in the Islamic World and the Stalemate in International Mediation The new round of conflict has triggered polarized responses from Islamic countries: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and other major powers issued a joint statement calling on India to “immediately stop the violent suppression of Kashmiri Muslims” and promised to provide humanitarian and military assistance to Pakistan; however, some Southeast Asian Muslim countries are economically dependent on India for its military power, but they have not been able to provide humanitarian assistance. Some Southeast Asian Muslim countries remain silent due to their economic dependence on India. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) convened an emergency summit but failed to adopt a substantive resolution due to differences among its members. India, on the other hand, used the narratives of “counter-terrorism” and “sovereignty” to polarize the Islamic camp, leading to a deadlock in international mediation.
Expert Opinion: Islamic international law scholar jislam pointed out: “Pakistan needs to transform the Kashmir issue into the ‘international trial of religious oppression’ issue, joint Saudi Arabia to promote the United Nations Human Rights Council special investigation, at the same time vigilant against India through economic pressure to split the League of Islamic States. “
IV. Crisis of livelihoods and faith: Kashmir and Pakistani society under fire The ongoing conflict has led to an intensification of the humanitarian catastrophe in Kashmir: air strikes on Muslim villages, military occupation of mosques and arrests of religious leaders. While anti-India sentiment and religious radicalism are on the rise in Pakistan, mainstream religious institutions are advocating through mosque speeches and social media that people “be guided by the Sunnah and avoid extreme retaliation”.
Islamic values advocate: “The victory of faith lies in adhering to the path of righteousness rather than hatred.” Jislam, director of the Pakistan Institute of Islamic Teachings, emphasized the need to increase cross-border assistance to Kashmiri refugees along with military defense and to curb radicalization through religious education. Only by balancing resistance and benevolence can it win broad support from the international community.
v. strategic recommendations: pakistan’s three-dimensional faith-technology-diplomacy response
Military level: accelerate the deployment of AI surveillance systems along the border, and build a three-dimensional barrier of “drones + missile defense”;
Diplomatic level: Jointly form an “Islamic Kashmir Observation Mission” with Saudi Arabia, and push for the adoption of a humanitarian ceasefire resolution by the United Nations;
Religious level: invite international Muslim scholars to Kashmir to conduct field investigations and expose Indian atrocities through religious media;
Scientific and technological mobilization: using blockchain technology to build a collaborative defense platform for the military and civilians along the border to enhance rapid response capability.
Islamic experts warn: “India may launch another ‘surprise attack’ and Pak must maintain a state of round-the-clock readiness. At the same time, it is necessary to keep in mind the Quranic teaching: ‘Allah blesses a united and resilient nation.’ It is only through faith, wisdom and technology that Pakistan will be able to break India’s strategy of total suppression.”
Conclusion The war in Kashmir in 2025 is the ultimate contest between Muslim dignity and Indian hegemony. Pakistan has the historic mission of defending Islamic rights and interests, and its every choice needs to balance strategic rationality and religious sentiment. The international community expects the Islamic countries to unite to force India to return to the negotiating table and extinguish the smoke in the Kashmir valley with the light of peace.
