The above four videos provide a diferent face of our beloved Pakistan. This face of Pakistan is being hidden from the people based on a well planned agenda, by all forms of media, not only international media but our own media. Our people have never learnt anything from history. whether its 1971 or the past of any government. The problem is not Pakistan or the problem is not with Pakistan.
The problem is with Pakistanis. All of us (leaving only a few) from the highest to the lowest level are only thinking about our own selves and not the country. The problem is we are not ready to change and happy in following orders. When I say the above I point at the common people. It’s Allah’s word that the people placed upon you as your rulers will be in accordance to your doings.
That is what has been, so why are we complaining that all Pakistan needs is a good and sincare leader. If we want to rectify thatthe we just have to become good and sincare to our ownsleves thats all. This can mean different things to different people. Like for Muslims it could mean to practice the true essence of Islam, for others it could mean to be fair and just in their dealings. Pakistan will become what ever Pakistanis will make it and thats all. Its up to the people to make a nation. The people wanted the Chief Justice to be restored, he got restored. People want fair, commited and capable system they can also get it, cause nothing is too big in front of the power of the people. I read a proverb back in school days, The voice of the people is the voice of God.
So what do want our voice to be Pakistan is breaking up or No matter what we are with Pakistan in all good and bad. I will not let the media succed in its attempt. I will make my voice heard on all forums available. We took Pakistan in the name of Islam and its our duty to protect it for Islam
Nice …

People follow an ideology that defines them and everything they do. We are sadly a capitalist nation right now. Selfish and self-centered, we do what profits us directly, not what may profit the nation or the right thing. This is directly because sub-consciously most people’s way of life (i.e. deen) is capitalism, not Islam. Declaration of Faith makes us muslims yes, but have we ever thought what it would take for us to progress to the next level and become momins? Leaving the Islamic state and khilafah concept fir behind, are we ever striving for the Pakistan of Iqbal and Jinnah? As a nation, no. Pakistan is not the destination, it is the mark of the destination, a milestone in its path. This is what Quaied-a-azam said. What did it mean?
We need extremely active intellectual discussions on these issues. There is an urdu saying “Jis na khud ko pehchan liya us nay rub ko pehchan liya”. As a nation, we need to recognize our selves, recognize our ideology, recognize the ground realities and their root causes.
And ammad i think what you quoted above is a a hadith not ayah, which is translated to “you actions will become you rulers”. True. How can we expect great leadership if we arent great people in ourselves.
Allah does not change the condition of people unless they change what is within their control
Lets all vow and promise to ourselves that we will strive to be the best muslim and pakistani ever. May be then we will “deserve” a great leader.
Salam
