Bureau Chief Attock — Report
Makkah is the holiest city of Saudi Arabia, where a historic trilateral defence agreement was reached between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye in August 2026. The agreement has been named the “Makkah Agreement” and has sparked a new wave of unity across the Islamic world, particularly in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Makkah is the blessed city where the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram are located. Millions of Muslims around the world face towards Makkah every day while offering prayers and aspire to perform Hajj or Umrah here at least once in their lives. The city is the centre of Islam and a source of spiritual strength for Muslims.
Pakistan’s importance and its spiritual background go beyond political and economic boundaries. It is the ideological state founded on the basis of the Kalma Tayyaba, whose purpose was to provide Muslims with the opportunity to enjoy religious freedom and live according to Islamic values.
The creation of Pakistan was not the result of any linguistic or regional movement; rather, it came into being on the foundation of “La Ilaha Illallah.”
Pakistan is the first and only officially recognized nuclear power in the Islamic world, which makes its defence formidable.
Türkiye’s spiritual heritage is deeply rooted in Sufism, divine love and Islamic traditions. As the land of great personalities such as Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams Tabrizi, its spirit is deeply connected with tolerance, unity and inner purity, which profoundly influenced civilization and culture during the Ottoman era.
The teachings of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, whose legacy is deeply associated with the city of Konya, conveyed a message of love, peace and devotion to God to the entire world.
Historic Defence Agreement Between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye
In the first week of August 2026, an important defence summit was held in Makkah. During the summit, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye signed a joint defence agreement.
The three brotherly Muslim countries unanimously agreed that an attack on any one of the three countries would be considered an attack on all three countries.
The agreement provides a framework for collective security, intelligence sharing and joint military exercises.
This alliance brings together the economic strength of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye’s advanced defence technology and drone industry, and Pakistan’s experienced and powerful armed forces.
Message to the Muslim Ummah and an Atmosphere of Joy
The defence alliance formed on the blessed land of Makkah is being described as a historic step towards the unity of the Muslim Ummah and a brighter future. The decision has been met with happiness and pride in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and various other Muslim countries, while the people have regarded it as a lasting and courageous step towards strengthening the defence of the Muslim Ummah.
