Dr. Nasir Akhtar claims Wazir Khan was a sinner acting against Islam when he ordered the execution of the Chote Sahibzade at Sirhind. This episode exposes that claim as a deliberate and calculated lie. What Dr. Nasir Akhtar conceals is Surah Al-Kahf of the Quran which explicitly sanctions the execution of children who will grow up to spread kufr and fitnah. Wazir Khan was not acting against his faith. He was acting in complete accordance with it. Dr. Nasir Akhtar knows this which is why he never calls Aurangzeb a kafir despite his own misconstruction of the term, because contemporary Mughal sources explicitly confirm Aurangzeb killed Sikhs for Islam not for political reasons. Dr. Nasir Akhtar is not an isolated academic. He belongs to the same school of thought as Puneet Sahani. Where Sahani attacks Sikhs openly for resisting Hindutva, Akhtar does it subtly, presenting Muslims as viable Sikh allies while concealing centuries of Hindu Muslim cooperation against Sikh sovereignty in Punjab. The Chote Sahibzade died for Sikhi. The historical record confirms it. The theological sources confirm it. This episode proves it. |
