زاغوں کے تصرف میں عقابوں کا نشیمن ۔۔۔۔ صدیوں سے !

Salam and Duaion .....

While surfing through today's print media, I got stuck with the column اصل جمہوری فعالیت کی ضرورت by Mr. Rasool Baksh Raees :`

http://e.dunya.com.pk/detail.php?date=2016-02-10&edition=ISL&id=2167021_35472293.

The learned Doctor has appositely described the political misery engulfing the State of Pakistan and its hapless people. The questions, however, arise :-

Is it only Pakistan or the entire Muslim World?

The imposed rulers draw inspiration from whom?

When did the Democracy exist AS IT SHOULD BE?

Do the rulers know what formed the basis of governance in a Muslim State or do they really know what DEMOCRACY IS? .......................... And many more ......

I am reminded of the STATE ADDRESSES by two Muslim Rulers, just a century apart which should suffice to answer all questions; address by first caliph after assumption of POWER and exactly after 123 years, the address by Caliph Mansoor Al-Abbasi...

First tells us what the FEAR OF GOD, GOVERNANCE, JUSTICE, DEMOCRACY, POWER OF PEOPLE, RULES OF ALLEGIANCE and PERSONA OF RULER ought to be ..... Second tells us about the DEGENERATION, ARROGANCE, DISDAIN FOR ANY ACCOUNTABILITY and DESPOTISM ......

Caliph Abu Bakr Siddiq RA Said :-

O men ! here I have been assigned the job of ruling over you, WHILE I AM NOT THE BEST AMONG YOU.

If I do well in my job, HELP ME. If I do wrong, REDRESS ME.

TRUTHFULNESS IS FIDELITY, LYING IS TREASON.

The weak shall be strong in my eyes, UNTIL I RESTORE TO THEM THEIR RIGHT, and the strong shall be weak in my eye UNTIL I HAVE DISPOSSESSED THEM OF THAT RIGHT.

No people give up fighting for the cause of God, but He inflicts upon them the abject subjection, and NO PEOPLE GIVE THEMSELVES TO LEWDNESS, BUT HE ENVELOPS THEM WITH MISERY.

Obey me as long as I OBEY GOD AND HIS PROPHET.

But if I disobey the command of God and His Prophet, THEN NO OBEDIENCE IS INCUMBENT UPON YOU.

Rise to your prayer so God May have mercy on you.

Mansoor Al-Abbasi opened his reign with :-

O men ! I am the Power of God on His earth.

I rule you with His guidance and confirmation.

I am the guardian over His wealth, and I manage it by His will and in accordance with His pattern. I DISBURSE FROM IT WITH HIS PERMISSION, FOR HE HAS MADE ME THE LOCK.

IF HE CHOOSES TO OPEN ME SO THAT YOU MAY RECEIVE THEREFROM AND BE PROVIDED FOR, HE WILL.

AND IF HE CHOOSES TO KEEP ME LOCKED, HE WILL .........

I leave it to the readers to observe the great change which Politics, Family Inc, Wealth and NO-FEAR can bring ......... AND DECIDE THAT RULERS OF TODAY ...... are ............. SIDDIQS or MANSOORS ......... and ...and ..... and .......... their DEMOCRACY ....

And I pack up saying :

سب پھول دروازوں میں تھے، سب رنگ آوازوں میں تھے

ایک شہر دیکھا تھا کبھی، اس شہر کی کیا بات تھی

VALUATION ..... 2

Salam and Duaien !

Every year 5 February is observed as Kashmir Day in Pakistan and Kashmiris do it world over. Seminars, Messages, Resolutions and Renewal of Pledge are the manifestations.....

Kashmiris, however, remain where they have been since partition and long before that .... UNDER THE OCCUPATION, TYRANNY and OPPRESSION .....

Governments have their (personal) compulsions, (international) pressures and survival dilemmas .... but 'WE THE PEOPLE' stand firmly with the Freedom Struggle of Kashmiris, support their Right of Self Determination and Salute their :

Gigantic Sacrifices,

Unflinching Commitment to the Cause,

Steely Resolve to withstand the tyranny,

Monumental Perseverance against the heaviest of the odds,

So People of Kashmir, We know YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED ... and.... YOU WILL SUCCEED IN SHA ALLAH :-

"Success is not measured by what you accomplish, BUT BY THE OPPOSITION YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED, and the COURAGE WITH WHICH you have maintained THE STRUGGLE against OVERWHELMING ODDS."

Few More :-

PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL. Once upon a time there was an Airline whose motto was "GREAT PEOPLE TO FLY WITH", its dying or knocked out already?

Strange when people are in opposition, they are with the Unions and oppose privatization tooth and nail ... and when in power .... want to go for the kill ..... NO EXCEPTIONS.... {O YOU who have attained to faith! Why do you say one thing and do another?} 61 : 2
