As tensions escalate between Pakistan and India, national cricket team captain Muhammad Rizwan has spoken out with a powerful message of faith, unity, and resilience. His remarks, shared via social media platform X (formerly Twitter), come at a time when public sentiment is increasingly focused on national strength and solidarity.
In his post, Rizwan emphasized restraint in conflict but reaffirmed the resolve to defend the country if war is imposed. Quoting Islamic teachings, he wrote,
“We have learned from the pure words of Allah SWT not to initiate war — but if war is imposed upon you, do not retreat.”
Reflecting on Pakistan’s history of struggle and sacrifice, Rizwan noted that generations have grown up amid conflict.
“Generations have grown up hearing gunfire and explosions,” he said, adding that this has shaped a nation deeply familiar with adversity.

He further stated, “This land is soaked with the blood of martyrs. And still, there are young men here who love death the way others love life.” The comment highlights the deep patriotism and spiritual conviction Rizwan sees within the country’s youth.
Rizwan’s post carried a stern warning to aggressors and a firm affirmation of national strength:
“No one can defeat a nation like this. Every war forced upon us only unites, awakens, and strengthens us.”
He concluded his message with a call for justice and bravery:
“This is a message for all who have the capacity to understand. We must have courage. We must have faith. We will neither commit oppression nor tolerate it.”
The captain’s post has since gone viral, resonating deeply with fans and citizens who see in Rizwan not just a sportsman but a voice of calm determination in turbulent times.
