On 15 August 2026, while the whole of India celebrated Independence Day, these believers in the call of Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq chose to spread awareness about the real meaning of freedom, independence, and peace.
Through social media videos and interviews, they raised an important question: “Is India truly a free and peaceful country?” They shared a simple message: if India wants genuine freedom and lasting peace, its people must unite under one banner, led by one man appointed by God. In Kashmir, an interview was conducted at a highly secured Independence Day stadium, where Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was addressing a large gathering attended by government officials, security forces, police, and the public. Despite the heavy security and personal risk, the believers carried a banner displaying the Shahada and the message of the Holy Will of the Prophet Mohammed, bringing their message directly into the gathering.
The purpose was clear: to raise awareness and place an important question before society and those in positions of authority: Where is true freedom? Where is lasting peace? And who will establish true justice? True independence is more than freedom from foreign rule—it means freedom, unity, justice, and peace for everyone.
