Sheikha Hasina named World’s 30th Most Powerful Woman by Forbes – A Pseudo Ranking of the So-Called Powerful to validate the Illegitimate Western Lackeys

News

The US-based influential business magazine, Forbes, published a list of 100 most powerful women in the world this year on its website on Wednesday (November 01, 2017) in which Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikha Hasina has been ranked 30th most powerful woman. Forbes also dubbed her as the 'Lady of Dhaka', saying Hasina pledged support for the Rohingya fleeing Myanmar and was "proud to bear the bulk of the cost".

The ranking has created ecstasy among the ruling party (Awami League) activists, and also the news has dominated the front pages of all major newspapers. It has been a source of great joy for the ruling party men who are obsessed with tyrant Hasina’s vanity that their leader has appeared as the 30th most powerful woman in the world, up from the 36th position of last year.

If we dig more into the political reality of the Muslims in this post-colonial world and try to gauge the significance of such ranking bestowed upon the rulers of the Muslim worlds, we understand that these types of ranks and awards are nothing but to strengthen the political legitimacy of these lackey rulers of the colonial West. By now, it is as clear as day light that the current degraded and wretched condition of the Muslim Ummah is due to the destruction of the Khilafah in 1924 by the western colonialists which they see as a colossal victory in their ideological war against Islam. After ripping the unified Khilafah into many pieces, they have imposed the illegitimate rulers upon the Ummah to have their colonial dominance continued under the false trappings of sovereign nation-states and independence.

These lackey rulers are the first line of defense of the West and have always been on high alert to ruthlessly crush any movements that call for the unity of the Muslims.

Thus, we see the Muslim world is infested with tyrant rulers like Hasina who are detached from their people. Hasina’s two major weapons are fear and deceit through which she tries to secure her throne by satisfying the geopolitical interests of her masters. And time and again these puppets are awarded with titles and ranks by their masters as token of their slavery. This ranking will satiate nothing but ‘false sense of vanity’ of Sheikha Hasina who is highly adept at political skullduggery. Hence, we saw how she manipulated the Rohingya refugee crisis to tap into the emotion of the Muslims and created a media feeding frenzy. Endorsement of titles like “Mother of Humanity” by British media and now the “Lady of Dhaka” by Forbes are nothing but gimmicks to validate her political illegitimacy.

History is the witness that many so-called powerful rulers appeared in the scene of the Muslim world who were used to further Western interests, and then later were thrown away like garbage, and Sheikha Hasina will also be no exception. Hasina will also be no exception. No matter how powerful and ruthless she becomes with the help of the West, the political landscape of the current Muslim world is very telling that a new world order is imminent under the second righteous Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood, which will break the back of imperial West and remove their treacherous lackeys of the Muslim world.

The Messenger Muhammad (saw) said:

عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) يَقُولُ «لَيَبْلُغَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ مَا بَلَغَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَلَا يَتْرُكُ اللَّهُ بَيْتَ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ هَذَا الدِّينَ بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ بِذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ عِزًّا يُعِزُّ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْإِسْلَامَ وَذُلًّا يُذِلُّ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْكُفْرَ» مسند الامام أحمد.

“This matter (Islam) will keep spreading as far as the night and day reach, until Allah will not leave a house made of mud or hair, but will make this religion enter it, while bringing might to a mighty person (a Muslim) and humiliation to a disgraced person (who rejects Islam); might with which Allah elevates Islam (and its people), and disgrace with which Allah humiliates disbelief (and its people).” (Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad).
