      <title>What does “Bunyān al-Marsūs” mean and why Pakistani named its military operation so</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330415975/what-does-bunyan-al-marsus-mean-and-why-pakistani-named-its-military-operation-so</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan has launched a counter-operation named “Operation Bunyān al-Marsūs,” a title derived from the Quranic verse Surah As-Saff (61:4), “surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause in solid ranks as if they were once a concrete structure”. The Arabic term emphasizes unity, discipline, and unwavering strength qualities Pakistan seeks to embody in its response.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The operation comes in retaliation for India’s recent attacks on three Pakistani airbases and drone strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to security sources, since 5pm on Saturday, India has suffered considerable losses, with several strategic installations reportedly destroyed as part of the ongoing campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this context, “Bunyān” means building or wall, while “Marsūs” signifies fortified or closely knit, symbolizing strength and unity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This verse evokes a historical period when Muslims stood united against their enemies, a unity that was crucial to their victories in significant battles such as Badr and Uhud.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a video available online, late Dr. Israr Ahmed likened those involved in jihad to a “Bunyān al-Marsūs,” or iron wall, believing they are among Allah’s favored servants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This perspective has shaped the naming of the operation as “Bunyān al-Marsūs.”&lt;/p&gt;
