Since the creation of our country the factors unifying the people of Pakistan have been losing their glueyness. Selfish governance, lack of political reforms, undemocratic progress, nonexistence of justice, subjugation of farmers and workers by the feudal lords and businessmen, absence of merit, non-provision of equivalent opportunities to each Pakistani and, above all, the rejection of quality education to a immense majority of Pakistanis are only some of the reasons that come to mind as things liable for the cracks that we see in our state organization.

Dear Folks

The political objective In this world as laid down by the Quran for
humanity Is Universalism, which shall be achieved by adopting a common
code of life, obtainable from the Quranic Injunctions, laws and
permanent values. Tribal instinct persisted in all forms of living
from families and tribes to the present national states. Each social
group promotes friendship between its members and hostility towards
other group in order to maintain its own interests. Thus hostility to
the outer groups is as characteristic of nations as it was of tribes.
Every nation has feelings of ill-will and hatred towards its neighbor.
Nationalism is a feeling which is born out of hatred and lives on
enmity. It does not form merely a political grouping, instead it has
developed in to a cult which arouses in the Individual passionate
devotion to his nation and violent antipathy to other nations. Aldous
Huxley says: Nationalism leads to moral ruin because it denies
universality, denies the existence of a single God, denies the value
of the human being as a human being and because at the same time It
affirms exclusiveness, encourages variety, pride and self satisfaction
but it also stimulates hatred and proclaims the necessity and
rightness of war.

Do you have anything to say?

Hi Folks

Adam, as the original human being or as the archetype human (Rashid: Human Development Theory: Islamic Vs. Western Perspective, P.4) has been bestowed potentialities to acquire knowledge of how everything else in the universe functions (2:33, The Quran). Now it is unto him to utilize these potentialities and conquer/ harness all that lies in the universe.

In this universe man is the only creature who is given choice and discretion. He may obey the laws of God (Allah Almighty) or may not; this discretion isn't given to any other creature. Man decides to disobey Allah Almighty 's laws when his feelings and emotions overpower him. These emotions instigate him for personal gains as against universal good. He bypasses the laws of Allah Almighty and starts following his own emotions. At this stage his intellect manipulates him the ways and means to achieve these objects. These emotions or feelings and the intellect which guides such feelings to achieve the objectives are given the name of Satan (Iblis) by the Quran allegorically. Because of this rebellious nature (define in Taj ul Uroos and Lane Lexicon), it was said that he was born out of fire (7:12 The Quran) and since feelings of human beings remain hidden, Iblis/Shaitan was also called a Jinn (18:50 - Quran) and Jinn means one who is hidden (Raghib). Along with the feelings or emotions the men is also given the discretion by virtue of which he is capable of disobedience at the time of his birth and these accompany him through his life span (15:36, The Quran).

A person who decides to follow the path of disobedience becomes deprived of the resultant benefits which accrue by virtue of following the laws of Allah Almighty, that is why Iblis is termed as the disappointed - the dejected or devoid. About those who follow Allah Almighty Almighty laws, the Quran says that they will not suffer any fear or sorrow (2:38, The Quran ) and Iblis will have no hold on them (15:42, The Quran).

The Quran has termed Iblis and Shaitan as the two faces of the same to the foreground. These are termed as projection, repression, fantasy, denial of reality, rationalization, intellectualization and reaction formation. All these varieties of adjustive mechanisms have the underlying roots in disappointment. And a feeling of rebellion or aggression closely follows this. In this way there is clearly a direct and deep-rooted connection between the feelings of rebellion and disappointment experienced by a person. This is also exemplified as "Iblis and Shaitan relationship".

The Quran supports the above deliberations that frustration leads to aggressiveness. When a person feels that he cannot achieve what he desires, he gets angry. If he gives vent to his anger against his own self, it results in worry, tension or depression. When he uses this anger against anyone else, which/ who in his opinion is responsible for this, it is called revenge. But if he is incapable of taking revenge from the person concerned then at times he gives vent to his feelings against unconcerned thing - which is madness. One can see the direct and deep contact between disappointment and rebellion. And this is the relationship of Iblis and Satan. In fact these are the psychological feelings of a human being. The Quran wants to establish such a social order, where chances of disappointments ain't occur (39:53, The Quran). Therefore Quranic Social Order, the feelings of Iblisiat cannot overcome anyone; particularly in respect of those who follow His laws (15:43, The Quran).

The Quran has described the results of misdeeds as the torturing fire! As the fire burns everything, so the bad deeds burn the human personality and stop its growth. According to the Quran life is a continuous process and has to go a long way. If life is led according to the laws given by its Creator Allah Almighty, then its latent potentialities are developed and enable it (life) to continue progressing and going from one stage to another. But if the potentialities/capacities are not developed, it doesn't have the strength to travel or grow further and stops at one stage or point. This process of stoppage is called al-jaheem in the Quranic terminology. Life is like an ever-flowing stream, the moment it stops it turns into a stagnant pond. Out of dust God rose Adam and out of good deeds would rise the man for the world hereafter.

How to overcome these thwarting forces? What to do? And who will think and reciprocate for the establishment of Islamic Social Order?

Deen is the name of a system. This system meant that human beings should live together in such a manner that every individual should have an equal opportunity for to develop its full potential or self-realisation. A system in which each individual should become a means for the development of potentials of others and in this way finds way of his/her Own development of potentials. In this system, the needs of the natural life are very elementary things. A system that is responsible for the development of all natural potentials, cannot forget the natural needs of human beings.Obviously, such a great system will have many elements of various kinds. Any tiny element of the system will be unique and vital and will have a role in producing the results of the system, while the whole system will be paralysed if that tiny element failed to function, just like a loose of a screw of railway track will stop all trains.Various injunctions in the Islamic system have equal importance. When that system was established, all actions those were in accordance with the system principles played role in bringing out the results. But when the system vanished, its elements remained like a railway junkyard, with out-of-order signals and broken railway tracks. We heard about the blessings of this (like railway) system, but did not see it in practice. Now we consider the old signals and broken railway track (the elements of Shariah) a means of blessings of the system.

According to the Quran, life is a continuous process and has to go a long way. If life is led according to the laws given by its Creator Allah Almighty (God) then its latent potentialities are developed and enable life to continue progressing, and going from one stage to another. But if the potentialities of this life remain undeveloped then it doesn't have the strength to travel or grow further and stops at one stage or point. This process of stoppage is called al-jaheem (Living in a Hell) in the Quranic terminology. Life is like an ever flowing stream, the moment it stops it turns into a pond then gets stagnant. Out of dust rose Adam and out of good deeds would rise the man for the world hereafter.

There was a time when Muslims were the masters of the earth, controller of the destiny, but today they are on a path of continuous decline.Their Condition is horrible, they face miserable poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, disease and sickness.There is a feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, and frustration among the Muslims.They are just living, for the sake of living ,without any sense of direction.Neither the rulers, nor the intellectuals of this nation, have any plan, for this huge mass of suffering humanity. It is really painful to see them suffer, despite the best lands, resources, and vast number.It is very important for those, who are concerned about the future of the Ummah, to ponder about as to what is the cause of Muslim decline? What if anything can be done to end this misery.
