ORGANIZED CRIME RESEARCH IN MELBOURNE: THE SUKKUR RAIL CRASH IN PAKISTAN 1990 - PT 1

[EDITORIAL NOTE: THE TEXT BELOW NEEDS TO BE REWRITTEN AND EXPANDED BUT I AM ILL AT THE MOMENT AND IT MAY TAKE ME TIME TO DO SO.]

Over the years I have refrained from testifying about certain matters because I believed that it was better to be silent, rather than make ‘fitnah’ (an Arabic word of wide-ranging meaning that includes civil unrest, anarchy, social upheaval, riots, mayhem - see my page GLOSSARY OF ISLAMIC TERMS).

However, since Allah’s (subhanahu wa ta’ala - glory be to Him, the Most High) enemies have wantonly killed more than 70,000 of my unarmed brothers and sisters in Islam in Gaza  and have been extending their butchery to the West Bank - including the murder of helpless little babies who are utterly innocent in the eyes of my beloved Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala - glory be to Him, the Most High) - it is obvious I can no longer be quiet.

I need to tell what I believe to be the truth about incidents that occurred while I was living in Pakistan from April 1985 to September 1990 and those events in Melbourne, Australia, that led up to them.

Those events included research on organized crime in which I supported a Liberal Party MP by the name of Morris Williams who was shocked to learn that the State Premier at the time, Rupert (Dick) Hamer was being blackmailed, allegedly by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States (CIA)

1 - THE SUKKUR TRAIN CRASH PAKISTAN ON 04 JANUARY 1990

For years I have suspected that the Sukkur train crash that occurred in Pakistan on the 04th of January 1990 was not an accident, but a vicious act of sabotage and murder, carried out by Allah’s (subhanahu wa ta’ala - glory be to Him, the Most High) enemies - the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States (CIA).

The CIA are the enemies of Rasoolullah (sall-allahu alayhi wa-sallam - may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), (khātam an-nabīyīn  - the last of the Prophets) and the enemies of Islam - the straight path of the Sunnis.

The Sunnis are the righteous ones who reject the path of those who have incurred His wrath (such as the Jews) and the way of those who have gone astray (such as the Christians).

But, aside from telling a few people I covered the matter up. What was the point of telling the truth if all it was going to do was make 'fitnah'. I could not prove my suspicions - but considering my background and the circumstances surrounding the crash the incident was more than suspect. 

I should add too that I believe that the enemies of Islam not only were responsible for the Sukkur rail crash but orchestrated much of the harassment of me that had erupted in Pakistan from time to time while I was living there from April 1985 to September 1990. Some of Allah’s enemies have a long reach and deep pockets.

Before going into details, I want to address one important question. Why don’t I return to Pakistan to give evidence. (Obviously, It's a rhetorical question so there's no question mark.)

2 - PAKISTAN NOMINATES TRUMP FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

Insha-Allah, I wouldn't even consider returning and there are several reasons why. Firstly, I don’t trust the Pakistan Government. What sort of Muslim government – or more accurately so-called Muslim government – nominates one of Allah’s (subhanahu wa ta’ala - glory be to Him, the Most High) - Insha-Allah - greatest enemies for the Nobel Peace Prize.

A man who at the time – June 2025 – is alleged to have been complicit in the killing of about 56,000 Muslims in Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Well, the answer is the government of Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif in Pakistan did just that. They nominated a man who is an enemy of Islam for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In June 2025 the Pakistan Government announced that it was nominating the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for the Nobel Peace Prize because they claimed he had played a pivotal role in mediating an end to a four-day conflict between India and Pakistan in May of that year.

According to a report published by the respected media outlet AlJazeera on the 21st of June 2025 the Pakistan Government posted the following statement on the social media website X:

“President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.

“This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue.”

See Aljazeera’s report for the 21st of June 2025 at: TRUMP NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

It is important to note that Trump’s role in mediating the resolution of the conflict has been disputed. BBC News reported on the 21st of June 2025 that: “India has denied the US served as a mediator to end the fighting last month and says it does not want any diplomatic intervention from a third party.”

TRUMP: THE ENEMY OF ISLAM, INSHA-ALLAH - UNLESS

HE REPENTS AND BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS

In support of my claim that Donald Trump is an enemy of Islam allow me to quote from his 2015 website. The site has since been taken down, but a media statement about Islam dated 07th of December 2015 said it all. The statement was headed: DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION.

It included the following: ". . . Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women."

Needless to say, such claims as "murder against non-believers who won't convert" are utterly false. A Muslim is not allowed to impose his or her religious beliefs on anyone and it is strictly forbidden to force anyone to convert to Islam. Such conversions are not recognised by the Shariah.

To confirm that forced conversions to Islam are forbidden by the Shariah I refer readers to Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 256: 

The translation below is from the 10-volume English rendering of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Volume 2, page 30, second edition, July 2003. It was abridged and supervised by Sheikh Safiur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri and published by Darussalam.

“256. There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All- Hearer, All-Knower.”

The verse is accompanied by the following exegesis by Shaykh Ibn Kathir (rahmatullah alayhi – may the mercy of Allah be upon him):

IT BEGINS:

“No Compulsion in Religion.

“There is no compulsion in religion", meaning ’Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.

“It was reported that the Ansar were the reason behind revealing this Ayah, although its indication is general in meaning. Ibn Jarir recorded [IN AN HADITH] that Ibn 'Abbas said [that before Islam],

"When [an Ansar] woman would not bear children who would live, she would vow that if she gives birth to a child who remains alive, she would raise him as a Jew. When Banu An-Nadir (the Jewish tribe) were evacuated (from Al-Madinah), some of the children of the Ansar were being raised among them, and the Ansar said, 'We will not abandon our children.'

Allah [then] revealed. ”There is no compulsion in religion. Verily. the right path has become distinct from the wrong path."

THE COMMENTARY BY SHAYKH IBN KATHIR ENDS.

In his commentary Shaykh Ibn Kathir noted that the above hadith from Ibn 'Abbas, "When [an Ansar] woman would not bear children . . ." could be read in Tafsir al-Tabari and also in the Ahadith of Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i.

The references according to Tafsir Ibn Kathir are:

At-Tabari 5:407;

Abu Dawud 3:132;

An-Nasa'i in Al-Kubra 6:304.

At-Tabari is the renowned Sunni Tafsir by the Persian scholar Allamah Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari who died in 310 Hijrah. The latter date is 923AD in the Gregorian calendar. I have replicated Shaykh Muhammad Shafi's (rahmatullah alayhi – may the mercy of Allah be upon him) notes about the Allamah and his Tafsir on my page AUTHORITATIVE TAFSEERS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN.

The Wikipedia article about Tafsir At-Tabari may be read by clicking AT-TABARI WIKIPEDIA.

The references to the Ahadith of Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i may be confusing for some readers, especially reverts, because I suspect that Ibn Kathir's Tafsir is citing the original Arabic numbering in the collections.

Reverts will discover that there are several numbering systems for Ahadith collections and what I do is I always cite the English-language collections published by Darussalam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They always print the original Arabic Hadith next to the English translation so any expert in Arabic can easily evaluate their authenticity.

In this case the above Hadith can be found in Volume 3 of Sunan Abu Dawud published by Darussalam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Hadith is number 2682, pages 304-305 of the first edition printed in July 2008.

It appears the reference above to 'An-Nasa'i in Al-Kubra 6:304' is to an Hadith in a collection that has not been published in English. It is not clear, but it seems Imam An-Nasa'i published a large collection of Ahadith - approximately 12,000 - in his work Al-Sunan al-Kubra and the Hadith in question is published in the chapter for Kitab al-Tafsir (The Book of Exegesis) regarding Surah Al-Baqarah.

Even though the Al-Sunan al-Kubra is not available in English a shorter version - which has been published by Darussalam and others - is available in English but it does not contain the above Hadith.

The matter of Imam An-Nasa'i reporting the above Hadith needs to be investigated further. I have only had a cursory glance at the issue.

AT LEAST NINE RECOGNISED TAFSIRS BY RESPECTED ELDERS

According to Shaykh Mufti Muhammad Shafi, there are at least nine Tafsirs by the respected elders which are seen as being authoritative, providing reliable guidance for those who believe, and which were used in the compilation of Ma'ariful Qur'an. Those nine include Tafsir Al-Tabari. The Wikipedia article about the Tafsir can be read at TAFSIR AT-TABARI  WIKIPEDIA.

Mufti Muhammad Shafi (rahmatullah alayhi – may the mercy of Allah be upon him) discusses all nine on pages 45-49 of Volume 1 of the English translation of Ma'ariful Qur'an. A discussion about his comments can be read on my page AUTHORITATIVE TAFSEERS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN.

Because I believe it is so good, I would add Ma'ariful Qur'an to that list, which means in total there are at least 10 Tafsirs available for those who believe. However, they are not all available in English and unless you are very good with classical Arabic some of them can prove more than challenging.

See my pages MA'ARIFUL QUR'AN – AN EXCELLENT TAFSEER THAT IS IDEAL FOR REVERTS and AUTHORITATIVE TAFSEERS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN.

And, as for Trump's remarks "beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women" they are little more than scaremongering for political gain. Women have nothing to fear from Islam, on the contrary it can be of endless benefit to them.

AYAH 256 OF SURAH AL-BAQARAH PROCLAIMS PROFOUND WISDOM

Readers should note that Ayah 256 also includes the most profound wisdom - a foundation which if you stand upon will never fail you - Allah proclaims that "Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break".

Below is an extract from the commentary on the verse by Shaykh Ibn Kathir (rahmatullah alayhi – may the mercy of Allah be upon him).

IBN KATHIR'S COMMENTARY BEGINS:

Tawhid is the Most Trustworthy Handhold.

Allah's statement:

“Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.”

[It] is in reference to, Whoever shuns the rivals Of Allah, the idols, and those that Shaytan calls to be worshipped besides Allah, whoever believes in Allah’s Oneness, worships Him alone and testifies that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, then

“then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold”

Therefore, this person will have acquired firmness [in the religion] and proceeded on the correct way and the straight path.

Abu Al-Qasim Al-Baghawi recorded that ‘Umar said:

“Jibt means magic and Taghut means Shaytan. Verily, courage and cowardice are two instincts that appear in men, the courageous fights for those whom he does not know and the coward runs away from defending his own mother.

“Man's honor resides with his religion and his status is based upon his character, even if he was Persian or Nabatian.”

 ‘Umar's statement that Taghut is Shaytan is very sound, for this meaning includes every type of evil that the ignorant people of Jahiliyyah (pre Islamic era of ignorance) fell into, such as worshipping idols, referring to them for judgement, and invoking them for victory.

Allah’s statement, “then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break" means, "He will have hold of the true religion with the strongest grasp." Allah equated this adherence to the firm handhold that never breaks because it is built solid and because its handle is firmly connected.

This is why Allah said “then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break.”

Mujahid said, “The most trustworthy handhold is iman".
