BUNYAN AL MARSOOS "بنیان المرصوص," an Arabic verse taken from the Quran, the holy book of Allah.
"The operation's name, which means "a structure firmly joined together," is inspired by SURAH AL-SAIF (61:4), which praises those who fight in Allah's fortified cause as a solid, concrete structure."
On May 10, 2025, Pakistan started Operation Bunyan Al Marsoos—a planned sequence of missile attacks intended at Indian military targets, signifying a move from deterrence to direct action. The chief of the Pak Army Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir, offered Fajr prayers and recited Surah Al-Saif before the launch of the strategic operation, trusting in divine direction.
Dr. Israr Ahmad, the late Islamic expert, has previously commented on this Quranic passage during one of his lectures. He compared "Real Mujahideen" to "Bunyan un Marsoos"—men with iron wills and steel nerves, unified like bricks in a wall, and cherished by Allah for their diligence and dedication in Jihad. His interpretation lends spiritual meaning to Pakistan's selection of the operation's name.
