LONG LIVE PAKISTAN !

As-Salaam-O-alaykum, wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

All praises for Allah Karim; Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' !

Darood-o-Salam on Prophet ﷺ because Allah Karim ordained us to do that ! Peace upon Prophet's (ﷺ) family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

66 years ago - August 14, 1947: 27 Ramadhan Karim, the Night of POWER (لیلۃُالقدر) and Father of the New Nation finished his speech on AIR by raising the slogan LONG LIVE PAKISTAN (پاکستان زندہ باد). As we celebrate 67th Independence Day; we must remember what Allah Karim has said in Quran-E-Hakim:

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' IBRAHIM (14) : 7.

And why we should have been, should be grateful to Allah Karim for this Blessing called Pakistan? Because;

Sub-Continent has a recorded history of thousands of years and one aspect which stands out is that it has been a land of Idol Worshipers right through.

Muslims whether coming from different shores or indigenous converts were 'OUTSIDERS'.

Islam was/is/shall remain the only unifying aspect for Muslims of Sub-Continent as in all other spheres of human life they were/are and shall remain diversified.

Muslims were/are vastly outnumbered (though right now they are about 600 millions in this part of the world making almost half of the entire Muslim population).

The Colonial Rulers and the Majority were against the creation of Pakistan and India still remains skeptical/ adventurous against its existence, already achieving one dismemberment.

The success of Pakistan Movement is nothing but miraculous when seen in the context of other such contemporary struggles.

All Praises for Allah Karim Who in His Infinite Mercy (اتنے بڑے جیون ساگر میں جس نے پاکستان دیا) and Gave strength, steadfastness, resolve and conviction to the Death Defying Leader, his associates and Muslims inhibiting INDIA anywhere whose chants of (پاکستان کا مطلب کیا؟ لا اِلہٰ اِللّٰہ، ۔ بن کے رھے گاپاکستان، ۔ لے کے رھیں گےپاکستان، ) still reverberate.

Sad fact however is that neither we have been grateful to Allah Karim, nor true to Pakistan and ourselves. Quaid met his Creator.....and........... نیرنگیئِ سیاستِ دوراں تو دیکھیے ۔ منزل انھیں ملی جو شریکِ سفر نہ تھے.

Name a vice we are not afflicted with, list a crime which we have not committed against Pakistan, Point an achievement (Nuclear Power we are for Which Allah Karim May reward all the Pioneers and contributors) if you have one. Where are we now?

The second part of the quoted Ayat is highly significant here, If we are not amongst the Grateful then we must be with those who have been termed as DENIERS.
