As I have pointed out elsewhere Afghanistan as a state is older than most countries in the world including the USA, Australia, Brazil (South America), Arab world etc and should be respected.
I would also like to point out that:
Ahmed Shah Abdali (rahmatullahi 'alaih) is considered a wali of Allah by most Islamic scholars and amongst one of the greats of Islamic history alongside Salahuddin and others, whereas Jinnah is a dubious character suspected of being a British agent who drank alcohol and ate pork.
So Afghanistan is a very important nation in the Muslim world.
Ahmed Shah Abdali (rahmatullahi 'alaih).
However Bangladesh is also a very important nation.

1. The video above speaks of a mosque which was apparently founded during the time of the holy prophet (solAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) according to some.
This mosque is in northern Bangladesh away from the coast where it is known that Arab traders prior to Islam frequented.
2. Saad bin Abi Waqqas (radi'Allahu anhu) was a companion of the prophet and said to have visited China but on the way there he stopped by Bengal/Burma and it is probably through him that Islam spread.
3. Bangladesh has probably the second highest number of mosques in the world, 250,000.
The number of mosques in Bangladesh stands at more than 250,000, the state minister for religious affairs tells parliament.
Country has 250,399 mosques: minister | Bangladesh | bdnews24.com
This is definitely twice as much as Egypt, which has maximum of 110,000 mosques. So Bangladesh has about twice as many mosques as the biggest Arab country in the world.
Indonesia probably has the highest number of mosques on earth with 800,000 mosques in the country.
Mosque in Indonesia.
Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country on earth and home to some of the world's most pious and humble Muslims.
However Indonesia is bigger than Bangladesh and is an archipelago, to go from one part of Indonesia to the other is like going from London to Moscow.
Bangladesh is far, far smaller. So the mosque to land ratio in Bangladesh is greater than any other part of the world. Bangladesh has the highest mosque density on earth.
On a spiritual level if mosques (masaajid in Arabic i.e. places of sujood [prostration], houses of Allah) are places of light (nur) then from a spiritual viewpoint, Bangladesh would if seen -in metaphorical terms - from a spiritual satellite image be the most alighted place in the world in terms of mosque density, and Allah knows best.
4. Bangladesh has more madrassas than any other country on earth including Indonesia.
However the madrassas in Bangladesh in addition to being more numerous than Indonesia's have a more intense and in depth curriculum following the traditional Nizam i Darsi which includes heavy study of the Arabic language (including sarf [morphology], nahw [grammar], balaghah [eloquence), Quran, Ahadith, Fiqh (jurispudence) and so forth.
This results in Bangladesh having more "ulama" (Islamic scholars) than any other country in the world.
However that would be basic level "Ulama" who know basic Islamic law, can recite the Quran correctly (tajweed) and so forth, not necessarily world class specialists.
On a spiritual level Allah's protection extends to believers and to places where Allah is remembered (dhikr).
Bangladesh has the honour of having the biggest gathering of believers, worshippers of Allah on the entire earth. We are created to remember and worship Allah, and Bangladesh is the place where there is the largest meeting of believers to do precisely that i.e. remember and worship Allah.
This is thus the source of immense divine blessings.
The existence of the independent Muslim state of Bangladesh which is an oasis of Islam in a sea of non-Islam is almost a miracle and ulama (scholars) and awliya (saints) would speculate that it is Allah's 'ni'mah' (grave/favour) to those who brought Islam to this blessed land.
Bangladesh does not border any other Muslim country and is bordered by a nuclear power to the north and west and an aggressive etho-supremacist state to the east (Burma).
All of these facts and others are important to know in the face of the right-wing Pakistani propaganda to:
1. De-legitimize Bangladesh and the Muslim Bengali.
2. Vilify the Muslim Bengali as a traitor.
It is also important in the face of the Pakistani-Jamati inspired Saudi pressure and campaign against Bangladesh and Muslim Bengalis which includes harassment of Bangladeshi workers in the gulf by the Saudi regime.
Islam in Bangladesh is older than:
- Turkey
- Indonesia
- Egypt (conquered by the Khulafa Rashideen, the mosque in northern Bangladesh is concurrent with the time of the prophet solAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam).
- Morocco
- Algeria
and nearly all Muslim countries outside the Arabian peninsula.
Given this fact it makes sense why Allah has made Bengalis the second biggest Muslim ethnic group in the Arabian peninsula after Arabs themselves.
So Bangladesh is blessed and a holy country with more mosques per mile than any other place on earth.
Thus Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, India, Burma, America, Jamat e Islami and other enemies of Bangladesh will face severe consequences if they try to do anything to this land or people.

Zaid Hamid, a preacher of hate and an enemy of Bangladesh and Bengalis.
Ali Al-Ghamdi, a Saudi propagandist who has run a campaign of lies against Bangladesh and issued indirect threats, he works with Pakistani nationalists.
Saud al-Faisal, Saudi foreign minister whose regime has also harassed Bangladesh and sought to undermine it in conjunction with the Pakistani regime and military.
To all enemies of Bangladesh in particular Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, do what you want but remember Allah is our protector.
There is no deity of worship and Muhammad Mustafa solAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam is the messenger of Allah.
