BLOG 79 - Chanting to repel the invaders

[Dr. Shabbir]

Chanting to repel the invaders 1067 CE:

Nizamul Mulk Toosi (1018-1092 CE) was the Prime Minister of the Suljuk King Malik Shah, and after him of King Alp Arsalan. Toosi was a Zoroastrian in Muslim disguise (Nihaayat-e-Tareekh-Abbasi, Sheikh al-Hafiz Yousuf Naishapuri).

To get a glimpse of the conspiracy of Nizamul Mulk Toosi, just one example should suffice. As the Prime Minister of the Suljuk Empire, he advised the two successive kings not to build any defenses for the Empire.

Nizamul Mulk Toosi exclaimed, “O Emperor! God has appointed you as the monarch of such a vast empire. Should you not be grateful to Him? The arrows cast by your archers will not travel beyond 30 yards, but even the sky, a vast shield, cannot measure the arrows of prayers flung by the army of my madrasahs.” To this, Sultan Malik Shah Saljuki fervently replied, “O My talented Vizier! We will produce such an army without the least delay!”

The outcome of the battle needs no explanation.
