Re: Significant / Prominent Personalities in Indo-Pak History..

Yes, you are right.. but Sufis moved to subcontinent along with the Muslim conquerors.. Secondly, as mentioned in the explanation above, he didn’t use his sword to rule ppl..

@khoji

As far as I understand, Islam was spread in the subcontinent more through the efforts of sufi saints than the swords of Qasim and others.

Besides being a great general, Muhammad bin Qasim was also an excellent administrator. He established peace and order as well as a good administrative structure in the areas he conquered. He was a kind hearted and religious person. He had great respect for other religions. Hindu and Buddhist spiritual leaders were given stipends during his rule. The poor people of the land were greatly impressed by his policies and a number of them embraced Islam. Those who stuck to their old religions erected statues in his honor and started worshiping him after his departure from their land.
