At the Cross Road
• Brainstorming is the term used for blowing ideas; ideas flowing from one’s mind about a topic without qualifying these as good or bad in the first place before a handful of ideas are considered to detailed study before action.
• Likewise, synthesis is achieved by presenting a thesis which interacts against its own anti-thesis to bring synthesis – The Evolution.
• The complexity of diversification of human mind & conflicting interests in the dimensions of time & space.
These factors play a pivotal role in the development of social, political & economic structures of the globe. This poses simple questions: Why it is setup like this? Why is that the world was not setup to the best of it right from the beginning?
Before moving forward, we need to bear two things at the back of our minds:
1. The physical law is completely enforced here in this world, i.e., an action will give its result, hard work is rewarded; taking poison will result death, etc.
2. The moral law is not in force to 100% in this world, i.e., sometimes, innocents suffer in the hands of cunnings while sinners escape from justice – Thus the need for the Day of Judgment.
The bundle problems to which Pakistan is exposed to these days are due to not following the divine guidance & also not following the proven principles of development. Continuous change is the universal law. The SWOT analysis of Pakistan diagnoses the disease & reveals its cure as well but questions bogs into the mind: Why failure at the first place? Why continuous deterioration to the bottom ebb?
Although they matter, but for the time being I am keeping away from the prophecies & predictions; Pakistan is set, at this point in time, nothing to lose any more & is standing at the cross-road of time where the right path will give best results while deviation results otherwise. Dejection is a sin. Friends & foes comes in our life according to the Divine Will, be ready to embrace them with open & unprejudiced heart. You may fell in the consequence of struggle but you will learn. Remember, in the life there is nothing called: mistake; it is a lesson, an experience. These lessons keep on revising until you master them out.
A series of destructive events put strain on the nerves of the intelligentia of the country. Details aside, masses are pushed to the wall for petty personal mala fides interests of powerful officials in the Govt. or otherwise. Barely managing to live within, the suppressed common man is going through bitter lessons till the hopes are alive. The sufferings are crying for justice (remember, moral law is not fully operative here) & equality. It is not Allah’s wrath but it is a hard test to:
1. Differentiate between the good & the evil and
2. Prepare those for the leadership who are purified resulting this process
Reward or punishment is based on one’s EFFORT & not on the RESULT; lest the result may be adverse for the time though.
In this process we have to submit our souls to Allah -The almighty, clarify our confusions (remember, confusions & differences are clarified if one wishes to, not for those who go violent), equip ourselves with the latest knowledge, remain committed to our faith & focus our targets, help the society & uphold its well-being, be pragmatic & down-to-earth and discourage sub-grouping & factions based on linguistic creed, class & race, i.e., the message is to brainstorm, interact & diversify. The physical law will produce positive results; leave the reward to the Will of Allah. Insha-Allah we will achieve prosperity.

@Pardesi, Jeddah.
Excellent post.
In simple words, to bring Pakistan out of the present difficulties & rise in the world as a prosporous respactable nation, every one of us needs to take account of what he/she is doing. We need to abide by the rules set by Allah (SWT) in letter & spirit.
A very simple daily routine of checking our acts during the day in the light of basic rules of Islam when we go to bed in the night is the best remedy for all our social ills.
May Allah (SWT) help us in briging our Motherland out of all difficulties & build a stable Pakistan.

Excellent words by both @Pardesi Jeddah and @ AG
I may further add that instead of pointing towards others, lets develope habit of taking account of ourself. Everyday we must analyse our daily actions and see that at least I did'nt hurt anyone if at all I was unable to do some good for others. At the same time to see what good can be done for others tomorrow and keep on with same thinkings and motives. May ALMIGHT ALLAH put us on right path (Ameen) |
