Keeping in view the turmoil and problems in Pakistan, we would like to address our Pakistani members here and put forward a SOLUTION to help them come out of the present situation inshallah. When nations face such times, the solution is not to READ various zikrs as ALLAH says “WE DO NOT CHANGE THE CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE UNLESS THEY CHANGE THEMSELVES”. We need to DO what our LORD is telling us rather than devising our own solutions. So how do we change ourselves?
Here are 5 steps to DO it:
1. Stop blaming others. Be it politicians, leaders or other internal or external forces, we need to stop blaming them.
2. Find out the root of the problem. We need to see what the root of the problem is. What do you think it is? The answer and truth is that we have become distant from Haq. Allah says “When truth comes, falsehood perishes…” If we were a part of Truth, if we had Truth inside us, NO falsehood could ever rule, harm or destroy us. But “Tan e bay ruh sey bayzar hai Haq, Khuda e zinda Zindoun ka khuda hai.” (Iqbal)
3. Return to Haq. Every single person needs to look inside himself and see how close or far he is from Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w). How much Haq he or she has inside. Then break the idols of our animal self, lust for money, status, fame, sex… love for all other than Allah are our gods for whom we are living our lives rather than Allah. This does not let us qualify as true Muslims. So cleanse ‘yourself’ from these ‘other gods’ and return to ONE GOD.
4. .Follow Prophet (s.a.w). Allah has promised that if we FOLLOW Prophet (s.a.w), He would love us and when He loves a person, He says ‘I become the hearing with which he hears, the sight with which he sees, the hand with which he strikes and the foot with which he walks..” (hadith qudsi) We need to FOLLOW him (s.a.w) in everything… on personal, social, professional, educational, political, religious, moral and every level.
Do not confined Allah within the mosque and limit following him (s.a.w) to physical appearances or rituals alone. Hold on to Allah in your attitudes, in your thinking homes, schools, universities, offices, markets, and wherever you go and whatever you do.
5. .Invite others to Haq. Once we do this, we need to call our families, our friends and then others to Haq. If we are not true Muslims ourselves, our word will have no effect. So BE MUSLIMS first and then call others to Haq. “Wo Saher Jis Sey Larazta Hai Sabistan e Wujood, Hoti Hai Banda e Momin ke Azan Sey Paida.” (Iqbal)
The entire solution to what is happening is Pakistan and what is happening to Muslims around the world has been summed up in a single verse by Allama Iqbal:
“Ke Muhammad se Wafa Tou Ne Tou HUM Tere Hein, Ye Jahan Chez Kya Hai, Loh o Qalam Terey Hein.” (If you are loyal to Muhammad WE are yours, not only this world, but the Pen and Tablet are yours). Being loyal to Muhammad (s.a.w) means FOLLOWING him.
(Please absorb this message and pass it (email or however) to every Pakistani and other Muslims you know so that those who are feeling lost or wanting to do something for their country or ummah are guided in the right direction. BUT remember your message will have no effect if you are yourself not striving to have Haq within you.)
