An Attempt to Assassinate the Emir of Kuwait (6 Ramadan 1405 AH)
The Attack
On the sixth of Ramadan 1405 AH / May 25, 1985, at exactly nine-quarters of that morning, the convoy of the Emir of the State of Kuwait, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah - may God have mercy on him - was attacked by a car bomb. While he was on his way to his office in the Seif Palace, a car parked at the middle sidewalk of the road tried to break into his convoy. This led to its explosion, including explosive materials, and the burning of a number of convoy cars and other nearby cars.
Casualties
The accident resulted in the death of three martyrs. Two of them were from the Emir's bodyguards, and the third was a passer-by, in addition to the perpetrator. As a result of the explosion, a large number of people were injured, including 12 passers-by.
Conquest of Sindh (6 Ramadan 63 AH)
The Battle
On the 6th of Ramadan 63 AH, May 14, 682 AD, Muhammad bin Al-Qasim defeated the armies of India at the Indus River, and the country of Sindh was conquered. This was at the end of the era of Al-Walid bin Abdul-Malik.
The Caliphate's Orders
When Al-Walid bin Abd al-Malik succeeded to the caliphate, al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf al-Thaqafi entrusted Muhammad bin al-Qasim with the invasion of India. He marched to it in the year 98 AH, besieged the Dibel gap, forcibly opened it, and built a mosque there.
Continued Conquests
Muhammad bin Al-Qasim continued his conquests in this country, until he reached the Indus River and met Dahir, the king of Sindh. Daher and his army fought fiercely on the backs of elephants, which ended with the killing of Daher and the defeat of his companions.
Thus, Muhammad bin Al-Qasim was able to extend his conquests throughout the entire country of Sindh.
