What do we mean by patriotism? What does the word patriot mean? Both words are closely linked with each other. A patriot is a person who takes an oath, to do something, with whatever best way he can, for the welfare of the country. By patriotism we mean love for the country with a spirit to see and aim for country (Pakistan), touching the skies.
We live in our beloved homeland, but we never take things related to it, seriously. The nation deserves from us to love it and do something for its progress. We are not that much serious, because, either we don’t have time for it, or we don’t want to give time to it. The only things that can change Pakistan’s fate forever are faith, sincerity, care and honesty.
The most interesting thing that we all must be aware about is, that PAKISTAN is a Persian word suggested by Chowdhry Rehmat Ali. We all forget that how it originated. Its map, core concept, and theme came into Allamah Iqbal’s dream. When analysis of the word PAKISTAN was done, it was found that PAKISTAN is a composition of two words PAK and ISTAN. In Urdu PAK ISTAN means Pak Sarzameen. In English it means pure land and in Arabic it means Madinah. By meanings, Pakistan is known as Madinah Saani (Madinah II). The name highly demands from us to be sincere, truthful, honest and faithful with it.
Why have we always blamed Pakistan for everything happening wrong in it is entirely our fault. There is nothing Pakistan should be cursed for. We love to complain, we love to blame, we love to cheat, we love to hurt others, and we love to harm others. Have we ever realized, what are we doing and what will be the results? No, definitely we have never bothered a single thing, my key point of criticizing our people is that Madinah II requires us to be faithful with it. Unfortunately, we are not, since quaid-e-azam died. Once we develop with Pakistan, I am damn sure neither USA, nor India, nor Israel will harm our sovereignty even a bit.
My habit is to blame myself for the mistakes I do. That’s why I criticized my country’s majority of people. We have people, whose ancestors were heavily rewarded by the British, when they left the country. They were awarded, to be dishonest with Pakistan and harm it, as much as possible.
I took a rough survey by randomly choosing some people having different point of views. Some said, Pakistan have limited resources. Some said, Pakistan have resources, but restrictions are being implemented upon us, by US. Some said, we have lost trust in Pakistan. Some said, we should not be bothered about Pakistan, because if something happens with it, we will leave it. Some said, we cant do anything, because things are not in our hands. All we can do is, to sit on prayer mat, and start praying to Allah. My analysis after hearing different point of views is that “Pakistan has resources, that are unutilized, because we are dishonest with it, and many of us are de-motivated and we think, everything will happen just by praying, and not doing any efforts.
I have solutions that will definitely prove to be fruitful, if they’re worked at. Energy crisis can be resolved by using wind mills, water turbines, solar systems etc. and by building more and more dams (kalabagh dam etc.). Fuel can have other alternatives like water, bio gas etc.
Corruption has to be minimized everywhere. Have we ever noticed that we love to criticize our politicians, and label them as corrupt people? Yes we do this, and we forget, what do we look like, when we cheat others, betray others, do backbiting of others, become jealous of others, kill those who are innocents, tell lies to ourselves and others? Well, this is a long debate. We need to find out the solutions of these ethical problems.
Our population seriously needs a pious man like Hazrat Mujadid Alif Sani RA, Hazrat Shah Wali Ullah RA, Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani RA etc. were. The major harm done by the foreign nations is that they’re loosening our faith in Allah. We’re forgetting our religious boundaries. We’re just like the uneducated kuffars of Nabi SAWW’s reign, when Quran was not yet revealed on him (SAWW). Madinatul Sani requires us to be its true lovers and stick to the teachings of Islam, the purpose it came into being for.
Living in today’s world, nothing is impossible. If spreading of negativity is rapid, then how about spreading positivity, having dominancy over negativity? Sitting at homes, commenting on people will never earn you a penny. Correct yourself and your surroundings by the light of the religion Islam, and see the difference.
