Our early school years were in early 70s.  Karachi wasn’t a crowded place like it is now.  Traffic was also less than now and so was the pollution.  There were few private schools around but not all of them had facility of school vans.  Our school was at such a distance that we were unable to go by ourselves.  Being a very busy housewife, ammi had not time so she hired an old lady for pick and drop.  As she was already looking for some work, few more parents from our neighbourhood hired her for the same reason.  Ammi told us not to let her carry our school bags because she was physically weak and used to wear burqa (traditional covering consists of long loose gown to cover the entire body and veiled scarf to cover head, shoulder and chest).  It was a fun walk for us.  We had to walk behind or by her side on the way to school and back home.  It was a ten-minute distance which we used to cover by watching out the riders, stepping up and down on sidewalks, plucking flowers from plants hanging over the boundary walls of houses and seeing people getting ready for the day.

.

If this was an equivalent to the concept of Walking Bus, then it had very few advantages.  For parents, it was a cheap pick, drop facility and a safe trip of children to and from school.  For uneducated, poor, old age people, it provided with a good source of income.  It was us who made our short journey fun because at that time there were no public parks around and we were not allowed to play out on the streets.

Above is the summary of an English poem “Parentade”, a very interesting idea for parents and to learn their lesson.

.

May God guide my parents, ameen!

Which rights and authority are they talking about – that women will not be treated inhumanly at homes (the homes that they had come from), get their rights of education and making decisions for their life?  These rights are already mentioned in both constitutions – Qur’an and the national constitution of Pakistan.  It is only that men and women don’t respect both of them and obey none.

Those women at Bagh-e-Jinnah were representing thirty or fourty thousand families of Karachi.  Were they there as a victim of their men’s injustice at home?  Then what would parliament do about this?  If Altaf Hussain is their saviour, as their quaid he can just order the Karachiite men to behave and that is it.  This way it would set an example for ‘macho man’ all over Pakistan.

So basically, what I think that this jalsa was arranged to achieve many goals, such as, diverting people’s attention from Balochistan issue and to warm Imran Khan to keep his hands off Karachi – but to solve women’s issues.

Just think about it.  There was no Altaf Hussain when Ms. Fatimah Jinnah, Mrs. Rana Liaquat Ali Khan and Mrs. Bilqees Edhi were born.  How these honourable ladies grew up to be so powerful and stepped forward with leading and administrative qualities.  Their men at home encouraged them and helped them, not the stupid strangers on the streets.

LEARNING is important for women.  Women need to learn how to read, write and calculate, how to raise their sons not as their supporting cane but as a useful citizens for all, how to discuss issues with their men at home and find their solution, how to keep their honour while being out on the streets.  Why do they wait for men to give them a purpose of life, define their status in society, teach them what Qur’an says about their status?

Men’s period of tranquility begins when they accept women as equal human beings and let them live and perform accordingly. Crushing women’s rights in the name of securing their honour and dignity results in men’s own destruction.

I can’t believe they are so slavish.  They don’t want to learn those techniques to control their own lives and make good decisions.  Just running after men (even if he is ugly like Altaf) to seek refuge from men.

In a conservative and narrow-minded society like Pakistan, saying I Love You to thousands of women at a time, entertain them with romantic Indian song and asking them what are they wearing is really courageous…..and very cheap too.

I have never seen a leader so disgraceful like Altaf Hussain.  He has never been worth-listening to and worth-watching but his last two speeches are enough proof to discredit him as a sane leader.  Even stupid comedians would show some grace in their performance.

Seeing women supporting him for an absurd slogan, I must say there is an educational crisis in Pakistan and Pakistani identity is in danger.  Altaf Hussain has appeared as the proof of negative impacts of our collapsed and corrupt educational system.

Do women of Karachi have any standard or any ideal for leadership?  Making a political party in the name of ‘injustice on muhajireen’, reviving pre-partition culture and identity in Karachiites, gathering people to divert their attention from national issues (all done at foreign signals) …. is not a talent but a crime, a disgusting game to divide people of Pakistan.  These women have proved the old saying to be true that women attract towards evil more fervently than man.

Altaf Hussain knows women psychology very well.  A typical mentality, all they want to hear ‘I love you’, romantic songs and someone focusing on their appearance.  He lost control on his feelings and emotions over a mass gathering of girls and women.  Even Nasreen Jaleel and Khushbakht Shuja’at  were obsessed with his cheap melody and started dancing along with Haider Abbas Rizvi and other liberals.  Who can call this a political jalsa?  Does politics include music and dancing in the syllabus of political science?

For their kind information, singing and dancing on street doesn’t need any college degree or political planning.  Any illiterate or slave woman and even monkeys can dance on streets.  Women should have a better purpose to be on the streets, the one which can stand them as dignified human against men.

Altaf is not a stupid man.  He chose the lyrics very wisely.  He is a sorcerer.  But as pious people have said, sorcery only works on those who have lost guidance.

God knows if Altaf Hussain would say this in front of me, I would give him hard slap saying, ‘siyasat ker, dhanda na ker, apni soi hoi hastratain na jaga’.

God forbid if Khushbakht Shuja’at is chosen as the educational minister, what would she do to us?  She is already expert in playing with words.  What does she exactly mean by women empowerment – singing and dancing on the streets?  Is she aware of the educational crisis in Pakistan?  What has her so-called educated party done in this regard?  According to her, she has already failed in controlling her school kids and their parents.

Nasreen Jaleel has already won the positions by taking innocent children to Nishat Cinema to watch an Indian movie.

Javeria Saud with her husband has earned millions I hope by producing a drama based on obscene language.

Whatever happened in that jalsa shows any seriousness to the crisis we are going through, any hope to the rest of Pakistan, any respect to the place they were standing in front of, any positive message to the women of the world?

The representation of girls and women regardless of all the disadvantages in their areas – Arfa Karim, Sitara Burooj Akbar, Malala Yusuf Zai, Naima Gul…… and from Karachi – attitude and Indian obsession.

I have few questions in my mind…

1- What made us realize that we are facing a nation-wide educational emergency – general moral decline, increasing street crimes, extremism in behaviour, rising family issues, obscenity,  students’ inability to read/write/understand/solve problem or something else? 

We usually use the word ‘education’ as a solution to all problems.  If I say yes to all these elements, then obviously education alone can’t serve as an antidote.  Education is a process of academic activities that spreads over many years.  It doesn’t work like a magic wand.  People can’t be excused for their moral misbehaviour just because they have never been to school.  Street crimes aren’t only the result of economic crisis but a youth adventure and  part of political games too.  Family issues rise because of injustice and conspiracies.  Extremism and obscenity are the matters of self control.

It is actually “students’ inability to read/write/understand/solve problems” which has proved parents, school administrations and the ministry of education a big failure.  Parents actually are the key investors, they should set a guideline for themselves, use their rights to interfere in schooling system, pressurize the ministry of education to take right steps for quality education.  Parents should learn how to deal with children, how to motivate them towards learning, how to discipline them, how to evaluate their intellectual skills, etc.

Remember, a society consists of families, which are led by parents.  Good parents means good society.

2- Who declared this emergency or is it a divine declaration?

This emergency must have been declared by very concerned patriots of Pakistan.  Otherwise, parents only care about their own children, rest go to Hell.  Ministry of Education is aimless and incompetent.  School administrations are mostly run by or are influenced with political parties – and we know the fact that political parties would never support a ‘strong Pakistan based educational system in Pakistan”.  English medium schools of Karachi and Sindh and many colleges are good example of it.

3- Which people exactly have responded worriedly about this emergency – parents, higher level students, teachers, school administrations, ministry of education, government, illiterate majority or literate minority?

I think that parents, teachers, school administrations, ministry of education, government and illiterate majority are worried about this emergency.  They have been playing a very set monetary game so far, they wouldn’t want to see things improving.  Higher level students are more worried about the utilization of their degrees, how to gain what they have spent on education.

4- Which elements have caused this disastrous situation – over population, imported curriculum, non-qualified teachers, inefficient school administrations, parents’ illiteracy, television programs, overall negligence of our society?

If everyone, which means each one of us, agree upon all of them – what would then each one of us do something about them?  Teachers school staff come from common houses.  Parents can’t control television channels but can control the television set in their home.  Parents, women especially, can sacrifice two hours stupid morning shows and use that time to improve their literacy and ILLITERACY even after achieving a degree or diploma.

5-  What state of educational crisis are we in? 

a)  The students in schools and colleges are unable to read and write independently – an essay, an application, an article, an incident, an event, a story, even a paragraph.  They have no habit of using a dictionary or a thesaurus.  They are unable to do even simple mathematical calculations.

b)  About 7 million children in Pakistan do not go to school.

This simply means that the tinee tiny official funds for education and parents’ money that they spend on their children’s education, all have been wasted – by whom? – by parents, school administrations and ministry of education.

There is no planning for non-attendees to learn to read and write.

What is education?

Dictionaries say: Education is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.  It is the act of imparting or acquiring skills as for a profession.  It is a kind of schooling.

“Education in its broadest, general sense is the means through which the aims and habits of a group of people lives on from one generation to the next.”  Jhon Dewey in Democracy and Education

Pakistan is a gender-based, family-oriented, feudal-minded society.  Gender-based in a sense that different standards are set for boys and girls.  Family-oriented because children are not allowed to violate family tradition and decisions taken by elders no matter how stupid they sound.  Feudal-minded – showing the attitude of ‘might is right’ so people, instead of focusing on rights, consume their efforts in gaining authority.

In Pakistan, the general concept of education is limited to financial gains and loss; a degree or diploma or any state which can enable to earn livelihood.  They find it totally useless if degree fails in getting them a job of standard they have set.  The majority of Pakistan want to spend not a single paisa and no time on education, all they want it for free.

Education in Pakistan has no value for elite and show-biz people, they have no reason to think about it.  Most educated lot, thinkers and NGOs are influenced with western style of education – they are obsessed with English –  their children speaking English and that’s it – what are they learning in English and its effect, they don’t care about it – Pakistan is none of their concern.

WHAT SOULD BE DONE IN THIS SITUATION?

1- This is very unfortunate that there are all kind of television channels running in Pakistan but an educational one except Virtual University which is for higher level students.

In America, PBS is dedicated to children’s program, teaching them letters, vowels, words, rhyming, syllables, sentence formation, politeness, communication skills, friendship, kindness to animals, caring animals and plants, etc.

2- While introducing imported curriculum in Pakistan, we totally ignore the fact that those high standard curriculum are not ‘high standard’ for where they are taken from.  Those are English countries.  Their children are born in an English speaking environment so they make their curriculum not to introduce a second language to their children but to learn skills in their own language.  When their teachers say ‘what is this?’, their children know what she is saying.

For our students, English is a second language.  Our children don’t even watch English cartoons or movies in English but Hindi.  So they don’t get to hear what they are forced to excel in at the age of 4 or 5.  This is not the matter of English or Urdu, very wickedly, Pakistani children are attracted to adopt Hindi through commercials, cartoons and movies.

3- Schools and colleges should be free of political influence.

4- Montessori syllabus and the categorization of subjects in 9th and 10th grade are both perilous.

Montessori syllabus in Pakistan is a violation of its own objectives and a great burden on little minds, which results in losing interest in learning anything by the age of 10.

This weird classification of subjects restricts growing minds from thinking extensively.  Science, Arts, Home-Economics, Computers – all divided in main groups – this is non-sense.

5- For those have no chance of going to school need to be placed where they can spend at least half day to learn unlike schooled children.

Dunya main itna kuch dekhnay baad koi tamanna nahi reh jati.  So Tamanna nahi raheen.

Tamanna Begum passed away today and even buried before the news of her death would spread.  A legendary actress who had 50 years of experience in film, radio, tv and stage.  She worked with almost all celebrities of Pakistan including Muhammad Ali, Zeba, Rani, Nadeem, Waheed Murad, Shahid, Deeba, Shubnum, Shamim Ara, Qawi Khan, Babra Sharif, Sangeeta, Abid Ali, Lehri, Rangeela, Munawwar Zarif, Munawwar Saeed, Nisho, Umar Sharif, Moin Akhtar and almost everyone in that field.  She was the best pair with Nanna (Rafi Khawar).  She usually played loud and evil but was a sweet person in real, a true pure and simple lady.

She was cute, chubby and very confident.   In my childhood, I used to get angry on her that why is she so evil and doesn’t let people live happily in movies.  But later I started enjoying her characters.  Her exaggerated expressions were just like fairy tale characters.  I really loved her commanding style.

This is my favourite song and one of the reasons I like it, is Tamanna Begum.

Do they know what is freedom?

Do they know when they say women’s rights, what are they asking for?

Do they know who is key initiator of women’s issues?

Do they know the purpose of their lives?

Freedom demands responsibility and honour.  Rights doesn’t mean you are always right.  Issues are not solved by creating issues or crying over them.

The rights abused inside houses cannot be achieved on streets, through the dividers of Pakistani nation.

ہاں تو ناظرین کرام, کس کا کتنا خون کھول رہا ہے امریکہ کی بلوچستان قرارداد پر۔۔۔ اپنی اپنی غیرت  کا ٹمپریچر نوٹ کرلیں کہیں ٹھنڈی تو نہیں پڑگئی۔۔۔ 

اچھا طنز ومزاح, لعنت ملامت اور اصلاح کی باتیں بعد میں۔۔۔۔۔۔ پہلے نارمل باتیں۔۔۔

پہلے ذرا یہ بتائیں کہ میں نے قارئین کے بجائے ناظرین کیوں لکھا۔۔۔ بھئی قارئین  کہتے ہیں پڑھنے والے کو اور ناظرین دیکھنے والے کو۔۔۔ تو میں نے آج تک لوگوں کو تحریروں پر نگاہ ڈالتے یا دوڑاتے تو دیکھا ہے لیکن پڑھتے ہوئے نہیں دیکھا۔۔۔ پڑھنا ہوتاہے آواز کے ساتھہ۔۔۔ جیسے کہ حضرت جبریل علیہ السلام نے غار حرا میں رسول الله صلی الله علیہ وسلم سے فرمایا کہ۔۔ اقراء مطلب کہ پڑھو۔۔۔ رسول الله صلی الله علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا۔۔۔ ما انا بقار مطلب کہ میں نہیں پڑھ سکتا۔۔۔۔۔۔ اگر پڑھنے کا مطلب دیکھنا نگاہ ڈالنا ہوتا تو مسئلہ ہی کوئی نہیں تھا۔۔۔ نہ ہی اس کا مطلب ہے کسی چیزکو یاد کر کے دہرانا۔۔۔ ورنہ وحی کے ذریعے دل و دماغ میں اتار کر بول دینا کافی تھا۔۔۔ جیسے ہم کرتےہیں کہ قرآن یاد کیا, حفظ کیا اور سنا دیا۔۔۔ اور اسی لئے جب بچے کہتے ہیں کہ پڑھ لیا تو پوچھا جاتا ہے بتاؤ کیا پڑھا۔۔۔ تو پڑھنے کا تعلق آواز سے ہے۔۔۔

اقبال نے کہا۔۔۔

تیرے وجود پہ جب تک نہ ہو نزول کتاب

گرہ کشا ہیں نہ رازی نہ صاحب کشاف۔۔۔

ویسے یہ بھی قرآن کا معجزہ ہے۔۔۔ عربی زبان کا بھی۔۔۔ اور کیا۔۔۔۔۔ کیسا۔۔۔۔

اور جو میں کہتی ہوں کہ انسان ہو یا جانور۔۔۔ جو سنتا ہے وہ بولتا ہے۔۔۔ تو وہ کوئی نہیں سنتا۔۔۔۔۔۔ دیکھہ لیں انجام۔۔۔ کس طرح پاکستان میں روز اردو کا جنازہ نکلتا ہے۔۔۔ روزانہ ایک لفظ دفنایا جاتا ہے۔۔۔۔ کھیال, خیال۔۔۔ آکھری, آخری۔۔۔ پیگام, پیغام۔۔۔ مکصد, مقصد۔۔۔ کیامت, قیامت۔۔۔ کیمہ, قیمہ۔۔۔ کھاب, خواب۔۔۔کائداعظم, قائداعظم۔۔۔ اکبال, اقبال۔۔۔ کھریت, خیریت۔۔۔ کھشی, خوشی۔۔۔ گلت, غلط۔۔۔۔ مکدر, مقدر۔۔۔ کھلاسہ, خلاصہ۔۔۔ کھریدار, خریدار۔۔۔ کبول, قبول۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ کاش لوگوں کو سمجھہ آجائے کہ عزت اور علم, الفاظ کو بگاڑنے سے نہیں ملتے۔۔۔ الفاظ کو بگاڑنا جہالت کی نشانی ہے۔۔۔

اور ایک تماشہ یہ بھی لگتا ہے کہ دنیا کی تھیرپی کرنے والوں کی اولادیں بھی اسی تلفظ کے ساتھہ بات کرتی ہیں اور وہ بھی ٹی وی پر۔۔۔ ہاں ہاں, ڈرتی نہیں ہوں, پروفیس معیز کی بات کررہی ہوں۔۔۔ لیکن کیا کریں, جدید تہذیب کے اصولوں کے مطابق مشہور لوگوں  کے پہننے اوڑھنے, بات کرنے کے طریقوں پرتنقید نہیں کی جا سکتی۔۔۔ اخلاقیات کے خلاف ہے۔۔۔

سنا ہے کسی زبان کوسیکھنا ہو تو اسکی شاعری سیکھہ لیں۔۔۔ شاعری کیا ہے۔۔۔ الفاظ کو مختصر جملوں کی شکل میں اس طرح ترتیب دینا کہ ہر جملہ کا آخری لفظ ہم آواز بھی ہو لیکن کوئی جملہ اکیلا کوئی معنی نہ دے۔۔۔ اس طرح کا جملہ مصرعہ کہلاتا ہے۔۔۔ اور مصرعہ سے مصرعہ ملکر شعر بنتا ہے۔۔۔ چارمصرعے جمع ہو جائیں تو رباعی کہلا تی ہے۔۔۔ پانچ مصرعے  ملکر مخمس بناتے ہیں۔۔۔ اور چھہ ملکرمسد س۔۔۔۔۔۔ پس شاعری کے لئے آخر میں ہم آواز ہونا ضروری ہے۔۔۔ یہ نثر یعنی باتوں کی طرح آزاد نہیں۔۔۔ شاعری میں اظہار خیال کا ایک فائدہ یہ بھی ہے کہ الفاظ ضائع نہیں ہوتے۔۔۔اور یہ طرز گفتگو قرآنی بھی ہے۔۔۔

شاعری صرف شاعر کے خیالات یا احساسات کا نام نہیں۔۔۔ کیونکہ ہر کسی میں یہ صلاحیت نہیں ہوتی کہ چند الفاظ کو منظم کرکے جو کچھہ کہنا ہے جلدی سے کہہ کر چھٹی کرے۔۔۔ اس لئے لوگ شاعروں کے کلام سے استفادہ  کرتے ہیں۔۔۔ لیکن ذرا دھیان سے, عبید الله علیم نے کہا تھا۔۔۔ 

کھلتا کسی پہ کیوں میرے دل کا یہ معاملہ

شعروں کے انتخاب نے رسوا کیا مجھے

عام لوگ شاعروں کو پاگل سمجھتے ہیں۔۔۔ لیکن علامہ اقبال نے شاعروں کو بڑا اعزاز بخشا۔۔۔ انھیں قوم کی آنکھہ بنا دیا۔۔۔

قوم گویا جسم ہے, افراد ہیں اعضائے قوم

منزل صنعت کے رہ پیما ہیں دست وپائے قوم

محفل نظم حکومت, چہرہ زیبائے قوم

شاعر رنگیں نوا ہے دیدہ بینائے قوم

مبتلائےدرد کوئی عضو ہو روتی ہے آنکھہ

کس قدر ہمدرد سارے جسم کی ہوتی ہے آنکھہ

مزید فرماتے ہیں۔۔

شعر وشاعری کا شوق سبکو ہوتا ہے۔۔۔ اس بات کایقین تب آیا جب ایک دن بابا کو دھیمے دھیمے سہگل کا گانا گاتے سنا۔۔۔ حا لانکہ انھوں نے زندگی میں ٹک کے دو منٹ کبھی کوئی فلم نہیں دیکھی۔۔۔ بلکہ دیکھی ہی نہیں اور نہ گانے سنے۔۔۔ بس چار پانچ شعر آتے ہیں۔۔۔۔ 

تنگدستی اگرچہ ہو غالب

تندرستی ہزار نعمت ہے

بابا کے شعروں کے کلیکشن میں سے یہ پہلا شعر تھا جوان کے منہ سے سنا۔۔۔ 

 میں نے تو یہ دیکھا کہ چہرے کو چمکتا ہوا بنانا ہو تو کریلے, بینگن, گاجریں اور کچی پیاز کھائیں اورمیک اپ چھوڑ دیں اور موقع ملے تو سرسوں کا تیل بھی لگائیں۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ 

بالوں کو صحت مند بنانا ہو تو دہی, بند گوبھی, ہری پیاز اور انڈا کھائیں, اورفکر کرنا, سوچنا چھوڑ دیں۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ 

وزن کم کرنا ہو تو جو کھانا ہو اور جتنا کھاناہو بارہ سے چودہ گھنٹے کے وقفے سے کھائیں اورساتھہ میں دس بارہ چھوٹی والی ہری مرچیں, وقت پرکھانے کے بجائے جب بھوک لگے تب کھائیں۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ 

خون پتلا کرنا ہو تو اور دوران خون کو نارمل کرنا ہو تو لوکی, ترئی اورٹنڈے کھائیں۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

اور ان تمام کھانوں کے ساتھہ پانی ضرور پئیں۔۔۔ پینے پر یاد آیا کہ کوکا کولا کی نئی ریسرچ نے سب کو شرابی ثابت کردیا۔۔۔ ہم بھی عجب  بے ضرر قوم ہیں, امریکہ جب  چاہے کچھہ نیا فارمولا ایجاد کرکے ہمیں کھلا پلا دیتا ہے اور ہم کھا پی لیتے ہیں۔۔۔ اور تعریف کرتے ہیں کہ واہ کیا قوم ہے۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ پھر امریکہ اپنی ایجاد پر نئی ریسرچ کرکے ہمیں گناہ گار ثابت کردیتا ہے۔۔۔ اور ہم گالیاں دینا شروع کردیتے ہیں کہ کتنی دھوکہ باز قوم ہے۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ اور یہ دینی لوگوں کو ابھی تک پتہ نہیں چلا شاید۔۔۔ با جماعت صلوت استغفارکب پڑھیں گے۔۔۔۔ اور ٹی وی پر کوکا کولا کے ایڈز آئے چلے جارہے ہیں۔۔۔اورادھر ٹی وی پر کوکا کولا کے ایڈز آئے چلے جارہے ہیں۔۔۔ ثابت یہ ہوا کہ یہ کہنا چھوڑ دیں کہ ہم مسلمانوں سے تو امریکن اچھے ہیں, دھوکہ تونہیں دیتے۔۔۔ لیکن کبھی کبھی سوائے دھوکے کے کچھہ نہیں دیتے۔۔۔ 

دوسرا تماشہ یہ لگتا ہے کہ فہد مصطفے صاحب, ندا پاشا صاحبہ, محترمہ شائستہ زیدی صاحبہ۔۔۔ بھارتی فلموں کی تشہیر کرتی نظر آتے ہیں کہ کہیں کوئی ان غلاظتوں سے بچ نہ جائے۔۔۔ حالانکہ بھارتی فلمیں تو پاکستانیوں کا اوڑھنا بچھونا ہیں۔۔۔ وہ ان سے غافل کیسے رہ سکتے ہیں۔۔۔ اور دؤلت اور شہرت کے لئے تو کسی بھی حد تک گرا جاسکتا ہے چاہے وہ بھارتی فلموں کےسیلز پرسن بن کر ہی کیوں نہ ملے۔۔۔۔آخرکار  گلی گلی والی سیلز مین شپ سے تو ہہتر ہے۔۔۔ جو قوم اتنی بے غیرت ہو جائے اسکے ساتھہ جو نہ ہو وہ کم ہے۔۔۔ حالانکہ نادیہ خان اور مایہ خان کے انجام سے سبکو سبق سیکھہ لینا چاہئے۔۔۔ کل تک پرستاروں کے فون پر فون۔۔۔ اور آج کوئی ٹکے کو نہیں پوچھتا۔۔۔ خیر ان پر تنقید بھی جدید تہذیب کے اصولوں کے مطابق نہیں کی جاسکتی ۔۔۔۔ تعریفیں یہ آپس میں ایکدوسرے کی حد سے زیادہ کرلیتے ہیں۔۔۔ 

یاالله, میں اس قوم سے بیزار ہوں جو پاکستان کی نمک حرامی کرنے کے بعد خود کو پاکستانی کہلائے۔۔۔۔

Islam is a dominating force and due to its flexibility, it has caused ‘a pain in the neck’ for everyone who dared to eliminate it.  Iqbal mentioned very beautifully the scientific facts about Islam and Muslims.

اسلام کی فطرت میں قدرت نے لچک دی ہے

جتنا کہ دبا دیں گے, اتنا ہی وہ ابھرے گا

Muslims are like sun, which never sets but to rise and shine on the other half of the earth, keep taking turns.  Mujahideen (those who fight against evil) are like leaping fountains, chanting ‘catch me if you can’ to malicious powers.

جہاں میں اہل ایماں صورت خورشید جیتے ہیں

ادھر ڈوبے  ادھر نکلے, ادھر ڈوبے  ادھر نکلے

Muslims belong to each other.  Muslims united have always proved to be an unbeatable force.  They will keep growing until the last day on this earth.

SURFACE:

America has appeared as another enraged anti-Islam, anti-Muslims and anti-Pakistan extremist power.  The devil is followed by a devil and an evil supports an evil.  Americans cannot harm any nation without the support and assurance given to them by their leaders and politicians.

The saviour of American interests in Islamic countries come into power, impose American-planned laws on their people, lead their own people to beggary, distress, default, division, hatred, poverty, starvation, suicide and civil war.

Two things they don’t consider at all; one, that Allah is the absolute power and He is knows how they are betraying their own people.  Two, that what traitors think is their success is nothing but working relentlessly through humiliation, mortification, slavery and then their planned assassination by their masters.  An ignorant finds no competency in gentleness, this is all I can say for them.

Muslims may have obliterated the memories of Yazeed, Mir Jafar, Mir Sadiq and their end but cannot forget what has happened recently to Husni Mubarak, Qaddafi and Zain bin Ali.  They were not promised to this end by their worldly masters but the Almighty Lord.

Who’s next?  Country wise, seems to be Syria.  Region wise, Balochistan.  Person wise, the politicians of Pakistan.

FACE-TO-FACE

Do Pakistani hoi polloi ever sense the danger before believing in what America say through their mouthpiece, the Sardars in Balochistan and KPK, the Wadairas in Sindh, the Chaudhrys in Punjab, the alumni of Karachi University and through liberals?

America promising anything to anyone means ‘nothing but complete destruction for everyone’.  This is what all Balochis, Pakhtuns, Punjabis, Sindhi and Karachiites and minorities know very well.

If anyone would remember how Changez Khan trapped Muslims one by one and perished them in destitute.  Americans are nothing less.  They are the worst enemy of Islam and Pakistan.  India is certainly and foolishly helping them at every level.  They both, wouldn’t let anyone enjoy freedom as they are promising now.  Pakistani politicians are cunning enough to protect themselves and present people of Pakistan for slaughter instead.

The only people Americans and their allies can let prosper are the criminal minds of our society, the true traitors.  Those who plan to…extirpate our economy, promote prostitution, nudge nudity, ruin our reputation, proliferate fear, impregnate illiteracy for imparting irrationality and invalidate our integrity.

TO-FACE

Before speaking up for Balochistan, Americans ignored the state-sponsored brutalities of Indian armed forces in Occupied Kashmir and of Israeli armed forces in Palestine.

The first step to abolish American interference should be to root out these parasites who are aiding their hosts to turn each Pakistani province into another Kashmir or Palestine.

Very difficult, it is to raise voice against violence at home, to repudiate vain rituals, to resist peer pressure – but this is sunnah, the prophetic methodology, we can’t refrain from it.

Any disobedience or refusal American orders results in frequent incidents of bomb blasts, street crimes, robberies, kidnapping for ransom, murders, bans, gas and electric load-shedding, etc.  No normal person can be so brutal – common people can be.  These are common people who live among us and know all the places, people and their activities very well and they are in abundance.  They have free time to wait for instructions, they don’t fear arrest or punishment.

Who instilled so much hatred and ferocity in their hearts – their parents, neighbours, friends, teachers?  Why do they do all that – just for adventure?  What do they get at the end – freedom to enjoy money they get, respect from their own family members or death?

FACE-OFF

How much common Pakistanis are concerned with the issue of Balochistan?

Are common Pakistanis aware of the importance of Balochistan and Kashmir in this region?

Do common people of Balochistan know how they are being trapped by America and India?

How should Pak-based American citizens react regarding Balochistan resolution that their government has prepared?

Carrying an organism for nine months in their wombs, suffering from the biological changes it goes through, is a reason enough to respect women as sacred human beings.  This whole process is a wonder that most women produce many times so happily.  Mothers are used as a bearer and courier for delivering humans into this world but that does not allow them to play God for their children.

Fathers initiate the process and do not stop struggling for their existence till the last moment.

In general, raising children is called parenting.  How parents raise their children defines them as a good or bad parent.  It is a process of taking care of children, educate them, train them to be a good human being and guide them how they can live a happy life.

In Islam, parenting is not only a big responsibility but a way of worshiping God.  Muslim parents unlike other parents are obliged to educate their children with the fundamentals of Islam too.  They cannot avoid it.  How do they manage to do that is a challenge for them and this is what they will be inquired about on the Day of Judgement.

Parenting is like growing up with your child again and with two or more children, again and again.   You experience your childhood in a different way, perhaps the way you think you should have been brought up by your parents.

If we really believe in ‘once a parent a parent forever’, then parenting should be done in two ways; directly and indirectly.

Direct way is to raise them, take care of them, educate them, prepare them to face challenges and leave them on their own.  The best way parents can help in building a society is by keeping their own children save from its negative impacts.

Indirect way can be the next step after direct parenting.  After raising their own children, parents just can’t sit home satisfied that their job is done, while their children are out there facing trials.  Parents can take part in building society for the ease of their own children.  If they don’t get involve in indirect parenting, their efforts for direct parenting may result in low, zero or negative.  They need to understand that when their children are out there, parents just can’t sit home and assume that their children out there will be fine.

What is the best part of parenting?  The best part of parenting is to make children understand that one day, they will become parents and then grandparents.  Whatever the circumstances they are born under, they have to think about their comfortable future and untroubled old age.

Is parenting supposed to be for life time?  Direct parenting, I don’t think so.  The purpose of parenting is to prepare children to live an independent life and be able to make wise decisions.  Parenting stops when children become adult enough to understand their responsibilities and are ready to live on their own.  Aren’t 20 or 25 years a good enough time to transform an infant into a qualified and capable asset of society.

Is parenting fun?  Parenting is fun when parents spend time with their children.  Joining children in their activities, showing them colours in nature, reading stories to them, singing them rhymes, sharing pleasant memories with them is all fun.  Parents rejoice the moments when they witness a rightful personality development in their children.

In Pakistan, parenting is either fun or a burden.  Fun for elite as they produce heirs.  Burden for the rest as they HAVE TO take care of them.  Normally, children just grow because parents refused to take responsibility of reproductive sentiments.

Parents in Pakistan devote themselves to their children for life time.  They think this is necessary for family bonding.

Pakistan is basically a family oriented society.  People are more devoted to their families than to community and country.  While earning for their families, they totally ignore their duties as a citizens of a country or as a member of community.  This attitude is totally against Islamic teachings.  Such a society falls more rapidly into crimes and provides culprits with all the moral facilities to produce more evil.  Parents don’t realize that their children will bring that evil home one day and that will be too late for parents to do anything about it.  Unless they go outside and start correcting the society.

One problem of parenting in Pakistan is that parents desire their children to grow in a new environment but they always let them down by mentioning their own childhood as a better time.  While comparing the two time periods, parents should remember their children are missing that fun because of them.  So, either parents should be grateful to their parents and condemn themselves for being bad parents or they should appreciate what their children are going through.

Another negative aspect of our society is that, that the family members become rapacious.  ”Whatever I am earning is for my wife and my children or my husband’s income is all mine and nobody else has a right on it or my wife should spend every single penny at home or I should decide where to spend my son’s salary.”  This is just the opposite of Qur’anic teachings.

“And those in whose wealth there is a known right, for the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth..” Surah Al-Ma’arij

“They ask you, (O Muhammad), what they shall spend.  Say, that which you spend for good (must go) to parents and near kindred and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer…”  Surah Al-Baqarah/The Cow 215

Pakistan is naturally an emotional society.  A majority of them don’t believe in reasoning and deal with matters emotionally.  Parents can’t take ‘no’ from their children and get emotional – tears, threats, thunder, termination – all the temperamental tools are being tested to change ‘no’ into ‘yes’.

Children who are brought up emotionally usually don’t behave rational and so, they lose many chances to grow and glow.

Pakistan, habitually is an extremist society.  Parents think, act and react at extremes.  They would sacrifice anything when they are in love with their children and then expect the return at same intensity.  Then they would take away anything from their children when they are angry with them.

Religiously, parents don’t follow Islam as a way of life but as an issue of who is right and who is wrong.  They eiter  Children grow hyper and with short-temperament in this suffocated environment.  They let out this frustration on society, without figuring out that their own family is the part of it.

Pakistani parents have their own reasons for being social.  According to them, children learn to live in family through wedding, aqiqah, roza kushai and birthday ceremonies.  They learn the importance of religion through milad, Qur’an khwani and dars.  They learn about their culture from basant and movies.

In last few decades, parenting has lost its essence in Pakistan.  Parents don’t set any guideline for themselves and for their children.

Life for children can be a lot easier if parents in Pakistan just remember one thing.  No era in any region was ever perfect, except that which was ruled by prudent majority and that rarely happened.  So, no matter what circumstances they are dealing with, if they have children, good parenting should be their first priority.

Q1) What is the link between social development and economic development?

Q2) Why do we have to learn all this?  What are we gonna do with it?

Ans) Let second go first.

Education is not just to finish syllabus, give exams and get a degree.

The reason you have to learn all this is that you have to learn how to live in this world.  Because if you don’t, people will live your life and you will have to be dependent upon people to live.

Right now you are relying upon your parents.  They are feeding you, they are buying you clothes, you live in their house.  They cannot do that forever.  After 10 or 15 years, you will have to take care of yourself.  You will have a family of your own.  How will you do that?

Now come to the first question.

Before understanding the terms and the link between them, just remember two things; first, you need money to buy necessities of life.  With more money, you can get luxuries you want.  Second, economic development does not prosper in a society which is not socially prepared for it.

Economic development is a process of gathering resources in order to generate more revenue, people of which are the key resource.

Economic development is not a convenience to work 9 to 5 and get salary at the end of the month.  It is to create a convenient environment for such conveniences.  People work 9 to 5 or flexible hours in offices, factories, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, airports, seaports, schools, colleges, malls and shops, etc.  These places provide employment.  If they run properly, expand and make good profit, they can produce more job vacancies.

There are many people who do not want to work just 8 hours a day.  They want to earn more money than monthly salary.  They have saved some money and are capable of running a business.  If they own a shop or a factory or a clinic, they would need helpers.  That would create more jobs for people.

Television channels, radio stations, newspaper and magazines also contribute in job activities.

People also work at places owned by the government, such as electric and gas corporations, police department, public schools and colleges, government hospitals, national T.V. channel, national airline, etc.

Foreigners, the citizens of other countries, can also be good source of income.  They visit our country, pay for accommodation, do shopping and buy souvenirs.

It is people earn from people.  People employee people.  People are the part of any economic cycle.  People should know that they need each other, so they should try to be as helpful as they can in financial matters.

Social development is a process of organizing and utilizing human energies in a way that can satisfy their needs and desires.  It is a process of thinking and struggling for betterment in all aspects.

The true link between the two terms is that when you think about ‘better life’ (which is social development), you think of having money at the same time and how to avail it.  You look out for possibilities in your very surroundings or in a far place.  You find out that money making requires things that you must to consider; appearance, objectives, degree, skills, experience, job hours, working environment, nature of job/job description, attitude, moral values, job-manners, chances of learning more and earning more, etc.

People cannot be selected for jobs with inappropriate appearance.  They cannot keep a job or run a business if they are short-tempered, dishonest, disloyal, crooked and fraud and untrustworthy.

Just think about it.

Would your parents hire a tutor if he/she appears lousy, does not come on time and is not qualified for teaching?

Would you eat from a restaurant that is unhygienic and serves cheap quality food to customers?

Would people go to a doctor who’s clinic is dirty and he/she is not kind and expert in his profession?

Which shopkeeper would get more business, the one who does not weigh or measure accurately or the one who is honest?

How long can a crooked and fraud real estate agent, a sales person, a motor mechanic, a pharmacist or anyone run their business?  How will they end up finally?

Would foreigners visit your country if your streets and roads are full of dirt and garbage, there are no pleasing sights, historical landmarks are not maintained, or people are living a miserable life?

So, what is the conclusion?  You want business from world, you want world to respect you, you world to trust you – you will have to provide reasons for that or nothing will happen.

Social and Economic Development in Pakistan

Let’s start from where we are standing right now.  How optimistic are you, the students, about the working opportunities when you will complete your suggested course of study?  You are not living 50 or 60 years ago when families were fed on the earning of one person.  The unemployment rate was high at that time too but they survived because they were contented with whatever they had.  Their purpose of life was to give families “roti, kapra and makan”.  You are living at the same place but in a different era.  You are growing up in a competitive environment, domestically and internationally.  Your working field is not limited to your national boundaries.  It encompasses the entire globe and thus, you need to prepare yourself for global challenges to achieve your goals.

Before comparing yourself to the students of advanced countries and your life-style to their life-style, just do compare the opportunities too.  Students in foreign countries start working part-time at the age of 14 or 15.  By the age of 16, 17, 18, they have to live on their own, unless they agree to pay their share in rent, food and utilities.  They don’t bother their parents to have enough money for their wedding shopping, dowry and other events.  They celebrate what they can afford.  They don’t mourn and blame their parents if they can’t.  They are not after luxuries but what gives them pleasure and keeps them independent.  They take responsibility of their actions and behaviour.

In contrast, you take for granted all the favours done to you by your parents.  Remember, your parents are not your servants.  They have a right to live their lives too.  Having children and raising them up is not a life time confinement.  You have a right to stand for your rights but not at the cost of your parent’s earnings.  Your abilities to support yourself financially following all moral values would be the best proof to support your demand for freedom.

Once Arabs were a society that was indulged in adultery, vulgarity and great sins.  Pagans of Makkah were rude, uncivilized, barbaric, cheaters, liars, abusive and obscene.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), a person from the same society, diverted them towards piety, purity, modesty, simplicity and goodness.  He did not curse pagan’s faith, did not criticize their rituals, never raised his eye-brows and changed his voice harsh against their immodest activities, never confined himself to his beloveds, never refuses to help those who hated him.  He never stampeded on streets to terrorize Makkans with the power of his anger, except at the time of victory of Makkah, such a unique incident when he invaded the city with peace and forgiveness.

He was a socially developed person by nature; full of wisdom, admirer of beauty and pleasure, a symbol of grace and modesty/haya, confident in himself and smiling to people.  He knew how to and when to communicate with people.  He openly declared that he loves three things the most and those were perfume, salah and women (he did not use the name of any relationship).  And what he said, he always meant.

Haya/modesty is an inevitable part of Muslims’ faith, both men and women.  It is also categorized as one of the prophetic attributes.  With the root letters ‘ha and ya’, it literally means ‘life’ in Arabic.  In religious terms, it has been described as covering body (practice the ruling of sitr/body parts that should be covered), shyness (lower gaze/extreme softness), chastity (staying away from sex related activities), timidity (lack of confidence/not so sure), modesty (a moderate behaviour/simplicity/humbleness).  Haya is not a culture or tradition.  Haya is not a gender-based characteristic.  Haya requires not to shut women inside their houses and their disconnection to God’s world.

Beside its literal meanings, the most suitable word for ‘haya’ in English is ‘modesty’.  Allah (SWT) created the world with balance.  “He has set up the Balance (of Justice),  In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance.  So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.” Surah Ar-Rahman/The Most Compassionate.  God brought universe into existence with balance (equilibrium, harmony, limits, due proportion, moderation).  The balance, with above synonyms, ensures life, not in span but in quality.  This entire surah describes the diversity of things working in their own limitations, which Allah (SWT) mentions as “the blessings from your Lord” and He orders us not to destroy it.

“And a sign for them is the night, We withdraw therefrom the day, and behold, they are in darkness.  And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.  And the moon, We have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old dried curved date stalk.  It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit.”  Surah Yaseen.

Prophet Muhammad (pubh) said, “Haya/modesty does not bring but goodness.”  He is right.  A humble, moderate, pure and simple behaviour causes nothing but beauty, pleasure and relaxation.  The way he ate, drank, walked, talked, greeted people, welcomed his opponents, treated animals, cheered children, respected women, helped the needy, behaved at home, led campaigns (both preaching and political), fought battles, treated prisoners, imposed laws, told stories, tolerated enmity, settled disputes, explained Qur’an, delivered sermons, ruled Madinah, ran the government – all reveal the secrets of his extraordinary, unique, short-time success in driving people towards piety, purity, modesty, simplicity and goodness.

So in general, haya is a process of knowing your own limitations and letting others (diversities) live and work in their specified boundaries/hudood.  Qur’an has warned us at many places not to break the limits that Allah (SWT) has ordained on every Muslim.  Haya is used in Urdu in the meanings of limitations too, such as, ‘haya karo, masjid main kharay ho ker jhoot boltay ho…. kuch to haya kur, maan baap se is tarah baat kertay hain…. oye haya kur, is ne teray liye bohat qurbaniyyan di hain….. koi haya nahi, jo munh main ataa hay buk deta/deti hay…. oye haya ker, Allah ka khata hay aur Allah ki na farmani kerta hay…. etc.

The world right now is under the process of globalization, all countries under one flag, the whole world population under unified system – many evil powers have imposed wars in order to control the entire globe.  It is only Islam which is worthy of being the ruling power of the world because it is based on characteristics and merit.  People of the world are looking for solutions to their problems and what Muslims are showing them is anger, fire, hatred to their beloved days.

George Bernard Shaw said, “If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam.  I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him – the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity.  I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.”

http://www.emro.who.int/publications/healthedreligion/IslamicPerspective/Chapter3.htm  The site mentions how considerate was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) regarding carefulness and precautions.

Jamat-e-Islami announced to observe ‘Yom-e-Haya’ meaning ‘the modesty day’ on 14th February.

Christians have their reason to celebrate Valentine’s Day on 14th February.  Just like Muslims celebrate their own occasions with their own understanding.  For Muslims, if everyday is a mother’s day, father’s day, sister and brother’s day, teacher’s day, when what could be the reason for observing ‘haya’ on one day.  Haya should also be practiced everyday.  It is not just Valentine’s Day which non-Islamic.  Jahez, rape, infanticide, birthdays, Happy New Year parties, mayon and mehndi, prostitution in every neigbourhood, drug, illiteracy (inability to read and write), beggary, standing and cheering on the body of dead animals, cows and goats eating from garbage, cats and dogs wandering in search of food,  also fall into this category.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said,  ”Cursed be everyone who causes harm to a believer or schemes against him.”

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “No believer may humiliate himself”. When he was asked how any person would humiliate himself, he said: “By exposing himself to risks with which he cannot cope.” (it doesn’t mean that one should not experiment or try but with preparations and precautions.)

He (pbuh) said, “Shall I tell you the definition of a believer? He is one with whom people feel themselves and their property to be safe. A Muslim is the one who does not abuse people by word or deed.”

See the following photo in the light of above hadith, what are we showing to the world, our ability to burn things out, is it according to what Prophet (pbuh) said?  Why do veiling women only show up with danda/sticks and fire?  Does Islam stop women to step out for positive reasons, such as planting flowers and trees, volunteering at Edhi centers in taking care of orphans and traveling within the allowed distance to educate children?

Islam strictly forbids cursing or insulting other’s faith and festivals.  According to Qur’anic logic, if you do that, you will get the same reaction from the other side.  Muslims should are not advised to instigate a situation against anyone but to settle down matters wisely.

Many people suggest that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) should be kept out of discussions.  Why?  Allah (SWT) says in Surah Al-Ahzab, “in Prophet’s seerah/character, there is the best example for you”.  Discussions based on what is haram and what is halal are incomplete without including Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).  We cannot treat him like a maulvi or a scholar that we drag him in at nikah/wedding sermon, divorce, aqiqah, for reading Qur’an or do milad otherwise we just keep him out of our lives.  He is guidance for us in every aspect of our lives.  He is nothing to be afraid of.

Many say, the anger is not against Christians or their festivals but Muslims who follow non-Islamic traditions.  This is just like cursing and burning kids in neighbourhood to show anger against your own child because he/she is following them.  It is your failure, you should curse yourself, burn banners with your name on them, you stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself ‘get lost’ and ‘my foot’.

Islam did not come to exterminate other’s religion, culture and traditions.  It came to introduce people the best way to a quality life.  It came to show how beautifully, peacefully and prosperously the whole mankind live under the flag of Islam.

حیا نہیں لاتی مگر خیر۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ 

شکر ہے ویلنٹانئز شہداء کا کہ جماعت اسلامی کو یوم حیا منانے کا اعزاز دے گئے۔۔۔ حالانکہ حیا کا پیغام اتنا ہی پرانا ہے جتنی انسانی تایخ۔۔۔ رسول الله صلی الله علیہ وسلم کو بھی حیا کا پیغام لائے چودہ سو سال گذر گئے۔۔۔ اور یوم حیا کا آج خیال آیا۔۔۔ عیسائیوں اور امریکنوں کے مقابلے پر۔۔۔

یوم حیا تو وہ دن تھا جس دن حضرت عائشہ رضی الله عنہا کی عزت اور عصمت پر لگائے گئے الزام کا داغ خود الله سبحانہ وتعالی نے قرآن کی آیات سے دھویا۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ یوم حیا وہ دن تھا جب حضرت مریم علیہ السلام کی عزت اور عصمت پر لگائے گئے الزام کا دفاع ان کے معصوم بیٹے نے کیا۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ یوم حیا وہ دن تھا جب حضرت یوسف علیہ السلام عزت اور عصمت پر لگائے گئے الزام کا جواب ان کے اپنے جسم پر موجود لباس نے دیا۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ یوم حیا وہ دن تھا جب الله سبحانہ وتعالی نے قرآن کے ذریعے حضرت زینب بنت جحش کا آپ صلی الله علیہ وسلم کے ساتھہ نکاح کا اعلان کیا اور منافقوں کی زبانیں بند کیں۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

لیکن جماعت اسلامی یا آج کل کے دینی لوگ کیا جانیں۔۔۔ کیا جانیں یہ کسی کی عزتیں بچانا, خوبصورتی اور احسان کے ساتھہ۔۔۔۔ یہ مقابلے کرسکتے ہیں, شک کرسکتے ہیں, تجسس کرسکتے ہیں, الزامات لگا سکتے ہیں, سزا سنا سکتے ہیں۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ 

سمجھہ نہیں آیا کہ اگر مسلمانوں کے لئے ہر دن ماں کادن, ہر دن باپ کا دن, ہر دن محبت کا دن۔۔۔ تو پھر حیا کے لئے ایک خاص دن کیوں۔۔۔ حیا بھی ہر دن ہونی چاہئے۔۔۔۔

ہمارے دینی لوگوں کی ذہنیت ملاحظہ ہو۔۔۔۔ لال مسجد کی خواتین ڈنڈے لے کر نکل آئیں سڑکوں پر۔۔۔ جماعت اسلامی کی خواتین نے سڑکوں پر آکر دنیا کو دکھایا کہ ہم جلانے کی طاقت بھی رکھتے ہیں۔۔۔

بس۔۔۔ یہی سیکھا سکھایا قرآن سے۔۔۔ مارنا, جلانا۔۔۔ 

اسلام سے محبت کا اظہار بھی بے چارے دوسروں سے نفرت کا اظہار کرکے کرتے ہیں۔۔۔ اور کوئی طریقہ نہیں سیکھا شاید۔۔۔  چلو سستی شہرت ہی سہی, دنیا میں مشہور تو ہوئے۔۔۔

وہ جو کسی نے کہا ہے کہ ۔۔۔۔ بد نام اگر ہوں گے تو کیا نام نہ ہوگا۔۔۔

حیا کا کلچر عام کرو, یہ کام صبح سے شام کرو

مارو تھپڑ بیٹوں کو گر وہ آنکھہ لگا ئیں عورت پر

قیمہ کردو شوہروں کا گر وہ ہاتھہ اٹھائیں بیوی پر

شرم دلاؤ بھائیوں کو گر وہ تاک میں جائیں لڑکی کے

نظرمیں رکھو باپوں کو جب پاس کھڑے ہوں کھڑکی کے

 مردوں کی مصروفیت کا چوبیس گھنٹے انتظام کرو

حیا کا کلچر عام کرو, یہ کام صبح سے شام کرو
