Allah Karim sab ko Izzat Ataa Frmay aur uski hifazat ki Taufeeq bhi. Aameen.

       


       

Prayers for all.

It is a hot summer afternoon, just before 4 pm. All of a sudden the heavens have opened up and it has started raining heavily. From outside my door to skyline on the horizon on beautiful Margala Hills, everything is under the shower being washed and cooled by the KRM-E-KHUSUSI of Allah Karim. I am looking at beautiful Pakistan, the land of my and millions' dream. Millions who prayed/pray for it, millions who struggled for it, millions who perished for it, millions who longed for it but had to stay back, millions who looked up to it as THE HOPE for Islamic World, millions who still love it, live it and genuinely believe that it is an ATTIYA-E-KHUDA WANDI and "PHOOKON SE YEH CHIRAGH BUJHAYA NA JAEGA".

Allah Karim carved for us this beautiful land in DAR-UL-KUFR which boasted of thousands of years of history, where Muslims came as invaders but won the hearts and souls with their deeds and conduct. Where during the Raj and movement for independence majority of the Muslims of Sub-Continent became the practical manifestation of "AIK HOUN MUSLIM HARAM KI PASBANI KE LIYE". Where Muslims from East Bengal were the forerunners of the movement, Muslims from UP were the brain of the movement, where Sindhi, Balochi, Pathan and Punjabis rallied together and the Sub-Continent reverberated with chants "lE KE RAHEN GE PAKISTAN, BAN KE RAHE GA PAKISTAN - PAKISTAN KA MATLAB KIYA LA ILLAHA ILLALAH". Where Fazle Haqs tabled the resolution in 1940 and Suhrewardis moved the amendment to a - state from Muslim majority states - in 1946. Where everyone understood what the English speaking Quaid was saying because "BAAT JO DIL SE NIKALTI HAI ASAR RAKHTI HAI".

But then the decay, the phenomenon of being UNGRATEFUL to Allah Karim. The Giant met his Creator and pygmies took over, ineptitude became the norm, corruption and self serving motives extinguished the light of motivation. In-fighting on power, on language, on resources ensued. Leeches started sucking the blood from the arteries. First Seven years could yield only the OBJECTIVE RESOLUTION and anarchy. Those who were the flag bearers were declared outcasts, those who were never to be seen during the struggle assumed the mental of skippering the ship. Musical Chairs of comers and leavers saw the insane, greedy, manipulators and power hungry rulers replacing each other "NAIRANGI-E-SIASAT-E-DAURAN TOU DEKHIYE - MANZIL UNEHN MILI JO SHARIK-E-SAFAR NA THE".

And then came 1971, JO MILA THA WOH LUTANE KE LIYE AAYE HEIN. Just 23 years and brothers could not stay together. I remember, and all of my generation and our elders have still not forgotten December 1971, the grief, the gloom, the embrassment mujhe yaad hai zara zara.

1590, Muslim Spain fell and with it fell its Libraries and its treasure of knowledge, its universities, people like George Beacon were the product of Muslim Spain. A dark night descended on Muslims, through a deliberate effort Muslims were taken away from IQRA, from TATAFAKARUN (EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS) and where there is no EVALUATION, there is no EVOLUTION.

Lets not talk about Muslim Spain, just start from 1947, have we ever indulged in finding the truth? analyzing it and formulating the future courses of action so that mistakes of yesterday become the leading light for our today and tomorrow? The answer is NO.

I have recently read Sarmila Bose's "Dead Reckoning", Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh War and I am astonished on the effort,  the writer has put in to find the truth or something near that. I mentioned it to an elder of mine who was very kind to share some more valuable things on the subject for which I am grateful to him. My next post will include the shared material. I recommend the book to all those who enjoy reading and learning.

There is lot to write on different topics but the time and space........so before I sign off once again prayers for all and Allah Karim Pakistan ko Hamesha Qaim Daim Rakhe aur hmein aisa Bana De Jaisa Woh Chahta Hai, Aameen.

Prayers for everyone.

Today is the Budget day. Federal Minister for Finance brought the 'Economic Survey of Pakistan Report 2011-12' in a News Conference yesterday. Experts occupied the Air Time round the clock bringing out the negativeness of the report and predicting a terrible future .

Power outages are making the life miserable for all.

Apex Courts are busy with some of the most talked about cases in the history of Pakistan, from Contempt of Courts to recovery of missing persons.

Everyone is feeling the heat. News of suicidal attempts are on the increase. There are voices which say Pakistan is no more worth living.,they want to leave. People in authority retort why haven't they left?

Doomsday scenario all around. Experts say Pakistan as a State and Nation is coming off the seam.

65 years  - a long time for an individual but only a PEHLA QADAM for a nation. Yes there are facts on which each one of us should feel embarrassed. We have never indulged in practice of Good Governance, our elites have regularly cheated the nation. Corruption hamari Ghuti ban gai hai. Successive Rulers, Military and Civilians never indulged in planning for the better future of Pakistan. Civilians wasted the opportunities in in-fighting and exclusive personal pursuits. They displayed no capability; if they had any, except making MAAL in which each one of them is very good.

Military Dictators might have come with sincerity but were/are  not cut for the job. They are not trained to be the rulers of the masses. They are leaders alright but of different kind. They are supposed to lead their men in a playing field where the game is 'Killing and Dying'. Their job is to see that the bad guy never enters our courtyard. Laiken jab Hukamrani ka Khoon Moonh Lag Jata Hai tou phir Zindagi ki Ranginian sepoy ko Maar deti hein and unfortunately all those who came had deficiencies in them. Few were professionally weak and corrupt, others were professionally brilliant but morally and humanly scoundrels and never knew how to differentiate between their professional and oath prescribed obligations and recreational activities. Each one of them was surrounded by the filthiest crap of human shaped hyenas who excelled in sycophancy and made them believe that THEY WERE THE CHOSEN ONES AND HERALDED BY THE ALMIGHTY ALONE HENCE WERE NOT ANSWERABLE TO ANYONE. 

OUTCOME OF JOINT FAILURE OF ALL : WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

But as I said 65 years are just nothing in a Nation's history hence "JO HO ZAUQ-E-YAQIN PAIDA TOU KAT JATI HEIN ZANJEERAN". History is replete with the story of nations' resilience and converting the failures into unprecedented successes. one only has to see through the pages of time. 

For Muslims and Pakistan Allah Karim is sufficient however He "Does not change peoples' condition unless they change their inner selves; and when Allah Karim wills people to suffer evil [in consequence of their own evil deeds], there is none who could avert it; for they have none who could protect them from Him" 13-11.

As they say in Punjabi   "DULIA'AN BAIRAN DA HALAN WI KUJH NAHIN GIYA" Agar further Dulan ton Bacha Liye Te.
