In 710 CE, during the Umayyad Caliphate, the Mids of Debal—pirates serving the Hindu King of Sindh—attacked Muslim ships transporting Hajj pilgrims, orphans, and widows of Muslim soldiers from Sri Lanka. The Muslims on board were taken as prisoners and sent to the king of Sindh.
Among these prisoners was a young and beautiful Muslim woman. Upon witnessing her beauty, the King of Sindh wanted to make her his concubine, but she refused. Humiliated by her courage, the King imprisoned her in his palace and raped and brutally tortured her every day.
The Muslims
Seeing the inhuman torture that she was going through, a native old man offered to help her. The Muslim woman wrote a letter and requested the man to send it to the arms of Hajjaj bin Yusuf, the governor of Iraq.
A man delivered a letter to the governor of the Islamic province of Iraq. Upon reading it, the governor was consumed with fury. In response, the Umayyad Caliph ordered the 17-year-old general Muhammad ibn Qasim to launch an attack on Sindh. He later faced the Hindu king in the Battle of Rohri and emerged victorious against his forces.
The Hindu king was eventually killed in the battle, and the Muslims beheaded him and sent his head back to Damascus. Muhammad bin Qasim entered Sindh and rescued the Muslim woman and all of the Muslim prisoners who were captured
