Imran Khan, Are you really going to do a miracle with the word "Khilafah"?

By

By Samreen Ahmed


With the crowds rising loud and high across the country in favour of Imran Khan, Pakistan Tehreek E Insaaf and the “anti-corruption” campaign, and the red, green and white colours swimming in the sea of people, the people have become quite hopeful for the betterment and progress of the country. “Finally” as some would call it, the savior has appeared. Everything doesn’t have to have a critical angle but the otherwise can also not be predicted to survive. 

Imran Khan has quoted in his address to the people of Karachi on 25th December 2011 “I did not come here to criticize any other political party but to unite them all”. Uniting political wings that are known for their corruption and injustice, sums up to what possibly? Another grand alliance for further corruption? Or is it that Imran Khan is headed the same way? Let’s hope not. 

But you can’t help it. A question clicks instantly when you, instead of being an IK-crazed fan, act as a judge and observer of the current scenario. The country is echoing with the slogans of “Kon bachayega Pakistan. Imran Khan, Imran Khan”. The baffling and somewhat depressing question that arises is “what if these statements are all they are? Merely statements. Empty words”. 

As we know that everything that shines isn’t gold, but when you see something shining, that’s exactly what it seems to be. You cannot realize it’s actuality until and unless you are near and deep enough to see its every little detail.
From a critical angle, how can you plan to bring out a system of Islamic Khilafah from a political structure that was implemented upon us by the western powers? 

IK has promised us freedom, justice, basic necessities of life. Let’s be honest, hadn’t everyone? Everyone who has had the chance to get a hold of that ragged piece of office furniture has given the same speech over and over again with little or grand changes in words because ragged though it maybe, it still grants you power beyond many others. There is no doubt that the speech delivered by Mr. Khan was inspirational and motivating. It was full of hope and a bright future. The imagination of such a system would lead us to the best life ahead. Let’s be emphatic on the word “imagination”. Sometimes you do have to see it to believe it. 

The appearance of 500,000 people to show solidarity with the “savior” of this country is not also a sign of desperation but also of frustration, at the same time the demand and urge of a true leader, guide, a mentor. Leader as not in, merely to rule over us but to actually LEAD us. A single ray of hope has made the people get off their comfy couches and stand for hours in a plain ground. Desperation, because now anything that shines IS gold. The Pakistani nation frustrated, annoyed and maddened at the current establishment is attracted to the first thing that seems pure. Listening to Mr. Khan’s words, one’s heart fills up with the passion to do what? Elect him? Best that can be done? 

Two questions that have always been in my mind: 


1) Mr. Imran Khan, you claim to be representing the Pakistani nation and the country itself for a better future. Care to carry the Pakistani flag instead of a PTI one? 


2) Why don’t you say it full front? Are you or are you not planning on bringing the Islamic Khilafah in the country? 
We understand that the rights of the minorities are also of excessive importance within Pakistan, but just in case it has gone unnoticed, Islam grants them all those rights equally. If you truly are what we take you to be, know this, the nation stands with you. 

It is exactly like Mr. Khan said this himself “Allah has fulfilled all my dreams so far, and now my dream in Pakistan”. If your hearts holds what your mouth says then there will be help and success eventually. 
Lastly, can you all politicians please stop with having your songs composed and sung all over the place. It’s kind of annoying!

Pardon me for this is as harsh as a person can be about someone who should be appreciated but at times you have to go against your will and yearning besides it’s better to be surprised than to be disappointed.

P.S. Kashmir matters to us same as Balochistan; you might want to consider that.

Pakistan can never be Madina E Saani

By
By Nadeem Sajjad. Pakistan is a land loved by many and lived in by millions. It has been witnessed in the past --and somewhat in the present age – that the origin of the name (word) “Pakistan” has had many different accounts of its creators/inventors. Known to be the most accurate of all accounts, is the one of the much respected Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. Others have the concept that the word “Pakistan” was given to the Muslims of India, after the success of Lahore resolution in 1940, by the Hindus of the subcontinent and was then used by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his presidential address to the All India Muslim League annual session at Delhi on 24 April 1943. Whatever may be the origin, the Muslims got their own land to practice their religion Islam, and to maintain their traditions. The thing that should be emphasized upon is that the country was created in the name of Islam.  Knowing the origin is one thing, but naming the country or the name itself to something els...

Waging war on ourselves

By
BY  ETHAN CASEY A couple of years ago, giving a talk at a church in Seattle, I was conveying as best I could the anger Pakistanis feel toward the US about drone attacks, when a woman raised her hand and asked, “What’s a drone attack?” I give her credit for asking, but I was astounded nonetheless. Ever since then I’ve kept that woman in my mind, and often cited her to audiences, as an example of the ignorance of ordinary Americans about things that are happening – I should say things we’re doing to other people – beyond our shores. My mentor  Clyde Edwin Pettit  used to say that we’re all ignorant, only about different things. That can be a helpful working assumption when trying to achieve common understanding, but it’s also true that some of us are closer than others to the coal face of hard experience. For example, the novelist  John Grisham recently pointed out  that support for the death penalty is “still very much the consensus among white people i...

Pakistani Pilots in Arab Israel War

By
45 years after the 1967 war: How the Arabs lost Jerusalem War is normally measured by its final outcome, but many individual heroes gave up their lives for the Arab side during the 1967 Six-Day War. (Image courtesy AP)   By  ALI YOUNES   SPECIAL TO AL ARABIYA This past June marked the 45th anniversary of the Arab defeat of the 1967 war. War is normally measured by its final outcome, but many individual heroes faithfully gave up their lives for the Arab side, defending the honor of their nations. The actions of those men deserve to be highlighted and explained, especially the contributions of the Pakistani pilot Saiful Azam and the brave Jordanian soldiers of the battle of Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem. At 12:48 p.m. on June 5, four Israeli jets were descending on Jordan’s Mafraq air base to smash the country’s tiny air force, shortly after the entire Egyptian air force had been reduced to rubble.  To intercept the incoming attack, ...
