Yom-e-Babul Islam (Template:Lang-ur) is observed on July 30th to commemorate the establishment of Muslim rule by Muhammad bin Qasim in modern Pakistan in 711 AD.[1] Muhammad bin Qasim Al-Thaqafi was an Umayyad general who, at the age of 17, began the conquest of the Sindh and Punjab regions along the Indus River (now a part of Pakistan) for the Umayyad Caliphate. He was born and raised in the city of Taif (in modern day Saudi Arabia). Qasim's conquest of Sindh and Punjab laid the foundations of Islamic rule in the South Asia.
