πŸ”΄ NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN HISTORY! πŸ“œ
Congratulatory Letter Of THE CALIPH OF ISLAMIC UMMAH Ottoman Sultan Mustafa III, to Durrani Shahenshah Ahmad Shah Abdali πŸŒ™
Celebrating the defeat of the Hindu Maratha Empire at Panipat🚩
Released for the FIRST TIME in English. READ NOW πŸ‘‡πŸ»
Part I
Khalifa of Islamic Ummah, Mustafa Osmani III, refers to the old friendship between the Turkic Ottoman Empire and the various Muslim Afghan chiefdoms that had come to power over the years.
Part II (Final)
Ottoman Sultan Mustafa Osmani III congratulates the King of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Abdali, for managing to win against the Hindu Maratha Empire and safeguarding Islam in India.
He credits Allah for granting victory to Afghan Pasthuns who waged war for their...
... Indian Pasthun counterparts.
The rest of matters are quickly wrapped up as both of Abdali's previous requests are rejected.
Neither is building a Mosque seen as useful.
Nor is targeting Zandshahis of Iran for their connections with the Marathas or anything else fruitful.

πŸ•‹ Mustafa Osmani the Third πŸŒ™
Abdali recieving sanction for Jihad in Hindustan.
He was invoked for Jihad by:
β€’ Sultan Mahmud the Hunchback
β€’ Imam Shah Waliullah
β€’ Najib-Ud-Daulah Yousafzai
β€’ Qazi Qadris
It took FOUR famous Islamic figures to induce Abdali to wage Jihad against the Hindu Maratha Empire!
Karim Khan Zand, Shah of Iran, who had proposed a Maratha-Persian alliance against the Durrani Empire.
Noted to be a very benevolent figure in Iranian history.
Had the proposal of Karim Khan Zand been accepted, or any cordination with Hindu Maratha Empire was somewhat agreed to, we could have witnessed a grand Afghan-Turk alliance (Osmanis and Durranis) pitted against the Maratha-Persian alliance (Hindupat Padshahi and Zandshahi).

Both the letters translated (from Abdali and to Abdali) were the abridged versions in modern Turkish language.
How do you think the Maratha-Persian alliance, provided it all worked out, would have fared against the Afghan-Turk alliance?
Or would the Muslim rulers have united against the ambitious Hindu Maratha Empire that aimed to capture all of Soum-Sham itself (Constantinople to Siam)!
