'''Ghazwatul Hind''' or Ghazwa-e-Hind ([[Arabic]]: غزوة الهند) is a prophecy of [[Jihad]] mentioned in some sayings of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] foretelling battles in the [[Indian subcontinent]] between [[Muslims]] and [[Kafir|non-Muslims]], resulting in the victory of Muslims.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tarekfatah.com/why-does-pakistan-seek-a-war-with-india-its-ghazwa-e-hind-stupid/ |title=Ghazwa-e-Hind |website=tarekfatah.com |date= |accessdate=2018-05-11}}</ref> |

==Interpretation== |
|||
Some scholars believe that the prophecy has already been fulfilled when Muslims invaded India during the reign of the second [[Umayyad_Caliphate|Umayyad]] caliph, [[Muawiyah I|Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan]] followed by [[Mahmud_of_Ghazni|Mahmud ibn Sebuktegin]], [[Muhammad_of_Ghor|Mu'izz ad-Din Muhammad Ghori]], [[Timur|Taimur bin Taraghay Barlas]] etc. to this day while others believe that the conquest of India has not taken place completely yet, but it will occur when Isa ibn Maryam and [[Mahdi|Imam Mahdi]] descend from the Heaven to fight Dajjal as per the reported traditions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://islamqa.info/en/145636 |title=Hadith about the conquest of India |website=islamqa.info |date= |accessdate=2018-05-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://islamqa.info/en/148529 |title=What is narrated in the Sunnah about the invasion of India |website=islamqa.info |date= |accessdate=2018-05-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hudson.org/research/11167-prophecy-the-jihad-in-the-indian-subcontinent |title=Prophecy & the Jihad in the Indian Subcontinent |website=hudson.org |date= |accessdate=2018-07-06}}</ref> |
