Pakistan : Land of the Pure






That was a lot we had to see and digest in LAST day...

There are times when you can't just take sides ... I present this because of my feeling on what is happening on the "Land of the Pure."

That should leave us thinking of where things are wrong :

I learnt that Pakistan was supposed to be the Islamic State. The proposal was first enunciated in 1930 by the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal. In a 1933 pamphlet Choudhary Rahmat Ali, a Cambridge student, coined the name Pakstan (later Pakistan), on behalf of those Muslims living in Punjab, Afghan (North-West Frontier Province), Kashmir, Sind, and Balochistan. Alternatively the name was said to mean "Land of the Pure."

The poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal said too:

"Manf-e-at ek hai is qaum ki nuqsaan bhi ek
ek hi sab ka nabi deen bhi iman bhi ek
harame paak bhi Allah bhi Quran bhi ek
kuchh bari baat thi hote jo Musalman bhi ek"

"There is one common gain and one common loss for all Muslims. (Remember the Prophet’s hadith that all Muslims are like a body.) One Prophet (pbuh) for all and one Iman for all. One Ka’aba, one Allah and one Qur’an for all. How great it would be if Muslims also were one!"

Will we ever learn to follow the mid-path?? the path taught by Islam??

Let us pray to Allah to unite our hearts in the path of Islam. Efforts must be made to avoid blaming each other and concentration must me focused on how to live and help each other to live peacefully and in harmony.

kuchh bari baat thi hote jo Musalman bhi ek
How great it would be if Muslims also were one
