Pakistan’s Problems and the Solution
Many people blame Pakistan’s problems on poverty and lack of education. Others on the government. I blame it on the weakness of Eman. This is the root of all problems. This is where problems stem from.
Pakistan has drowned in sin. Pakistanis continue to lead a sedentary existence of listlessness, heedlessness, indulgence in luxuries and pleasures, false pride and vainglory, sin, crime and transgression, oppression and exploitation. They are involved in mutual hatred, enmity, embroiled against each other in court cases and law-suits and competing against each other they spend lavish and large sums of money, involving themselves at times in massive debts accompanied by hefty percentages of interest.
This is the reason Allah has appointed corrupt leaders. These leaders have been appointed due to sins. The only escape from them is through taubah and perfect obedience of Allah’s orders.
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said in the Quran - “Verily Allah does not change the condition of people unless they change it themselves.”
In a hadith Qudsi it is reported:
I am Allah, there is no deity besides Me, I am the king of kings and the master of kings, the heart of kings are within My control; when My servants are obedient to me, I make their rulers kind-hearted towards them; when they disobey Me, I turn their rulers against them with anger and tyranny, they then oppress them severely. Therefore, instead of cursing them, turn towards me in remembrance and submission, I will protect you against their tyranny.
Muslims face new problems and difficulties daily. Now and again, reports of untold oppression and barbarism against muslims are received. Their lives and property are destroyed and yet they keep indulging in sins.
Time and again, muslims are crushed by disasters and calamities and their laments, complaints and wailing never ends. When their shortcomings are pointed out to them, they remain ignorant. No one bothers to reform themselves. No one bothers to avoid those destructive sins and crimes that are the direct source of their misery and suffering.
History bears ample testimony to the fact that so long as the muslims continued to uphold the Quran and ahadith in their daily lives, empires crumbled at their feet. Small group of devout Muslims were sufficient to terrorize and demolish mighty forces. Emperors of superpowers trembled at the mere thought of muslims.
Yet these very victors of mighty empires, when they succumbed to comforts and luxuries, discarded the Quran and Hadith, resorted to oppression and cruelty, became power-drunk and arrogant and indulged openly in music, wine and women, fell from the glorious pinnacles of civilization and progress to the abyss of disgrace.

FACTS ON THE GROUND IN PAKISTAN.
Reference to the Islamic history and Pakistan’s independence period, I want to go a step further and will recommend to select/elect every Chief of Army staff as president after retirement and the present Army chief should be be given extra time for his outstanding services at national and international level and all other Corps. Commanders of the Army and COS of Airforce and Navy should be appointed Governors and Deputy Governors of the provinces and regions ( by creating regional governments in all four provinces, 2 in Punjab 1 in each province- these regions already exist based on language, culture and history , such as Saraiki, Potahari, Upper Sind-Sukkar, Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP and Gawadar- Balouch Area. And all additional bureaucrates who love to live in provincial capitals should be transfered to these remote areas of the country.
These new regions should invite and attract the foreigner and Pakistani origin people to invest in the area to create jobs and eliminate poverty.) This is the only way we can stop further interception/ coup in Pakistan. After all armed forces personnel are well disciplined and organized . And above all represent Pakistan’s diversified population. And it’s leadership do not transfer within family but earned by hard work and talents only. Every second family in Pakistan is represented in the army one way or the other and the Pakistan Army is the only ever lasting popular party-yes it’s an important ruling party other than Bhuttos and anti-Bhuttos, Sharif brothers. With this arrangement no one is loser except few feudals and industrialists, who represent non of the masses in Pakistan.
We already have a quota system applied for superior services since 30 years and had killed thousands of innocent talented young people, why not try this arrangement for the welfare of the country which will effect none but very few so called politicians who after all deal with generals, behind the curtains. And it’s good to know that supporters of these politician are 500/600 Mafia families who live in 125 districts in Pakistan and provide so called public leadership for national, provincial and local levels. Any restriction to stop them is useless. Recent example of education condition brought their unseen educated women forward in politics. All 8000/9000 candidates in recent elections were from the same mafia group who are the biggest law breakers and around 1000 leading law breakers have been elected as new law makers who will take care of themselves but none. They all are involved in worst kind of crimes on this earth against humanity with the collaboration of junior police officials.An enquiry by a nuetral agency may prove my claim.
WOULD THE EDITOR PUBLISH THIS LETTER in the larger interest of the nation.

“bad people become good with eman. Allah sent rasulullah to the worst people on earth. They used to fight over a camel of one tribe drinking water from a lake of another tribe. A fight over this used to go on for generations! But look, how high Allah raised them after they got eman. Allah made them the Sahaba.”
i seriously disagree with that statement. most of the aabs stayed corrupt even after the advent of islam. dont you know anything about islamic history? thats the problem with the happy-happy version of islamic history which everyone is fed. it gives everyone unrealistic ideas. there was no such thing as perfect sahaba, there was no such thing as a rightously guided khilafat. the hadith were compiled until after 200 years after the prophets death and many hadith contradict each other and are false. dont you know what happened after the prophet died? thre was a civil war and tribalist monarachs otok over the khilafat and spread islam by the sword, there were rebellions there was oppression, there was bloodshed, people who protested against the corruption and decadence were slaughtered and many, many sects were formed.
were did all the muslim scientists go? havent you ever asked yourself that? they were beaten to death by their own books at the hands of fanatics who did the bidding of their corrupt kings.

im not talking about happiness,happiness comes today and goes tomorrow. im talking about wealth power and progress. its got nothing to do with the spirit and every thing to do with ambition and greed. you cant have political power based on the laws of god. that is hypocrisy. power is tool which is inherently cruel. those who try to mix religion and power end up defaming their religion.
as for th allah keeping a poor man poor. how can you know what allah know. how can you know waht allah thinks. its a bit to big headed and arrogant, what you have said. dont you know that life is a test and that poverty and wealth are granted to people as a test. it doesnt depend on eman,it depend on a mans effort and allahs will. how dare you think that wealth is a reward.

“what my position is that pakistan’s problems are material and material solutions are enough to solve them.”
“thats because there are more bad people in the world than good.”
“im going for a tried and tested solution while u are advocating something that is not practical”
tried and tested? Where exactly has this been tried and tested?
Please let me know. Name me one place on Earth where this trying and testing has brought hapiness.
