Army, politicians, bureaucracy, judges, journalists, moulvis, extremists…everyone has a finger to point to for the current doomsday scenario…you will hear all sort of people criticizing or rather shouting to their full to put the blame on someone else…Everyone has given his/her best shot at the analysis of the current situation, here is mine!
Whatever I am going to say many people might have strong reservations to it and that’s the reason why I am not posting this on any forum. This is my blog and I have the RIGHT to express whatever I feel!
WE have to accept that the turmoil that we are going through right now is self-made! I am not arguing that the ’so-called conspiracy theories’ are a fallacy, many of them might be true but at the end of the day its ’us’ who either succumb to those conspiracies or make our own. I believe till everyone accepts his/her own faults we are not going to get out of this! There is no exception, everyone from the rulers to the ruled, from politicians to the army, from the feudal to the farmer, from judiciary to police and culprits AND from the Ordinary Muslims-by-name to the ‘mullahs’!! If everyone starts looking at his/her own deeds believe you me no one will have the courage to point any fingers and that’s what OUR deen Islam expects from all of us. Lets accept that its ME, who has played a part to bring Pakistan (add Muslims/Islam to that as well) to the present situation. It doesn’t matter whether it was a small or big part, the point is at the end of the day each drop of water forms a sea AND each push to the falling wall DOES matters! This can be better understood from this hadith which somewhat goes like, ‘Sometimes a person says something wrong and considers it very small but it can throw him into the depths of hell whereas sometimes a persons says something good and considers it very small but it takes him into the paradise’. I guess the point is very clear that DON’T consider any sin small since it might overshadow your all other good deeds (just like Iblees JUST did one wrong thing) and DON’T consider any good deed small since it might become a reason for your forgiveness (just like that sinful woman who was forgiven just coz she gave water to a thirsty dog!).
We all are always ready to criticize army/rulers/politicians/judiciary/bureaucracy for their injustice and cruelty but forget that everyone is ‘Zalim’/cruel. Everyone is usurping others’ rights whenever he/she gets a chance. Whether its our top leadership who has big jaws or the ‘innocent’ poor who is selling contaminated milk…we all are on the same boat. The same educated intellectual who will be criticizing everyone in the world for the current situation in drawing room, outside will be throwing empty wrappers from his car on the road! I am not ready to accept that due to a minor, 2% of the corrupt elite class Allah is making the rest 98% suffer! Allah is not ‘Zalim’…!
Then there are few who are struggling to change themselves and others but get frustrated when results are not what they expected…forgetting Allah never asked for results, the struggle, efforts and our sincerity is sought for…let’s give that and then leave it to Allah to show the results now or later but one should remember just like every drop adds to a sea…our small efforts will add to a big change (Insh’Allah)!
Let’s accept this bitter fact and try to point a finger at our ownself or we will keep on mourning for years…
(those who are here for the first time can read my other articles which I posted in the start)
…finally hes leaving for UK after 2 days so anyone in UK…be there!
During his chilla I went with Muneeb to meet him in Raiwand…Muneeb was kind enough to keep me waiting for more than 3 hours in LUMS and in the end having dinner with his professor! Just wanted to acknowledge his ‘ikraam’…
