Pakistan ka matlab kya : La ilaha illa Allah

We can remember and supplicate with the La Ilaha Illa Allah . No God but Allah. It is the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith. That there is no one to be worshipped except God. Muhammadar Rasul Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of God is the second part. It is also known as Kalima Tayyab. To become a Muslim a person must first of all say the Kalima Tayyab, La Ilaha Illa Allah Muhammadar Rasul Allah. The last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) said that “Indeed Allah has forbidden for hell, the person who testifies La Ilaha Illa Allah . The first question in the grave will be about this “Kalima”.

To Allah belong the East and the West: Where ever you turn there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all Pervading all Knowing.

LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASOOL ALLAH.

When Hazrat Adam was sent from heaven to earth for eating the forbidden fruit he repented for 330 years. Then Allah gave Hazrat Adam guidance and he remembered the Kalima he had seen inscribed in heaven. When Hazrat Adam recited the Kalima, Allah accepted his prayer and forgave Hazrat Adam.

Quran Pak tells us the Islamic principles that are simple and straightforward, free of ambiguities. Islam is the straight path leading to paradise. According to Quranic teaching bleavers in Allah must honor both Haquq Allah and Haquq al- Ibad. Fulfillment of one’s duties to Allah and Humankind constitutes righteousness.

Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the messeger of God.

Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim male and female.

As we all know that without knowledge man is blind. It tell us the right path and tell us the difference between the right and wrong things.

It is most important to note that it is a sign of judgement day, that “Knowledge of Islam will be taken away while ignorance will increase.

Today we can see the leaders of the Muslims chosen the ignirent people, because they obey according to their whims.” Present world leaders are more known their oppressive ability than Islamic Knowledge.

“The best Jihad is to speak a word of justice to an oppressive ruler”.(Ibn Majah).

“There is no superiority for an Arab and for a non- Arab over an Arab. Nor for white over the black nor for the black over the white except in piety. Verily the noblest among you is he who is the most pious.”

“Allah loves those who turn to him consistently and he loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.”

“Everybody makes mistakes, but the best ones of the sinners are those who repent and ask for forgiveness a lot.”

Islam had always existed, but it was completely revealed through the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him). The last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) said that the example of guidance and knowledge which, Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil, absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. Another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, and they utilize for irrigation of the land for cultivation. The other portion of it was barran, which could neither hold the water that land gave no benefits. The first example of the good person who comprehends Allah’s religion and gets benefits, which Allah has revealed through the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him). Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) learns and then teaches others. The other example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah’s guidance revealed through the last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).

Quran said that only those are the belivers who have belived in Allah and his Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those, they are the truthful.

Hazrat Abubakar’s first Khutbah set the tone for his leadership. Now O People I have made your ruler though I am not the best among you. If I do what is right support me. If I do what is wrong set me right. Obey me as I obey Allah and his messenger; If I disobey them, then do you disobey me.”

The second Caliph, Umar b al-Khattab said in his second sermon to his people: ‘O people It is your duty if I show certain evil qualities, to reprove me for them. You must see that when I have control of the money nothing should be spent improperly...etc.” This is Umar who used to say: “The property of Allah has the same standing with me as that of an orphan; if I have no need of it, I will leave it untouched, and if I need it, I will take only what is right.”

Quran Pak said, “O you who believe stand out firmly for Allah as just witnesses, and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just, that is nearer to piety.”

“Visit the sick, feed the hungry and free the captives.”( In Shahi Bukhari)

The name of justice. It asked us to love and respect the pious people. It stress on acquiring knowledge etc.

The Quran Pak itself contains dynamic source of knowledge.

“These are the verses of the wise book. A Guidance and mercy for the righteous.”

Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Allah ever surroundeth all things.

Believe in Allah and his messenger, and spend of that where of he hath made you trustees; and such of you as believe and spend, aright, theirs will be a great reward.

“Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for interest, if you are indeed believers. If you do not take notice of war from Allah and his Messenger. But if you turn back, Deal not unjustly “

The Quran Pak commands Muslims to stand firm for justice at all cost.

Striving for social justice involves the struggle against poverty and inequality.

The Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) said, “whoever reliever his brother of a trial or a difficulty in this life, Allah will relieve him of a trial in the next life.”( Bukhari and Muslim)

Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) the messeger of God said “He who sleeps on a full stomach whilst his neighbour goes hungry is not one of us”( Bukhari and Muslim).

When we evaluate history we can see that nations are destroyed when they become dishonest and injustice. When dishonest, unaware and tricky person preferred on an honest, knowledgeable and straightforward person. When they invite the anger of Allah. They pay no attention to follow the message of Allah and his last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).

According to Islam and our messenger Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) Muslims are one without any superiority.

Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) said “The deed of justice performed by a leader for one day for his people is better then the deeds of the man who spends fifty or hundred years amongst his family members in the worship of Allah.”

Justice is the essence of the people’s welfare. Justice is the life.

Quran Pak said, “On the day when their tounges, their hands and their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions.” (Surat An-Nur, Verse 24)

Quran Pak said, “On the day when every person will be confronted with all the good he has done, and all the evil he has done, he will wish that there were a great distance between him and his evil.” (Surat Al-Imran, Verse 30)

The last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) said: “The son of Adam will not pass away from Allah until he is asked about five things: How he lived his life, how he utilizes his youth and with what means did he earn his wealth. How did he spend his wealth and what did he do with his knowledge.”

As our Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) said, “You are here in this world to help your fellow mates as they are your own brothers”.

Our founder of nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah also said that Pakistanis are one nation, one vision and one identity.

“Success and achievement come only through continuous work honestly, in right direction, and constructively.”

Quaid-e-Azam said that the Islamic state is an agency for enforcement of the Quranic principles and injunctions. Similarly they also refer to the slogan –Pakistan Ka Matlab Kia? La Illaha Illa Allah, Azadi Ka Matlab Kia La Illaha Illa Allah, chanted during Pakistan movement. (August 1941, Quaid-e-Azam gave an interview to the students of the Osmania University.)

This slogan of Islam not the official slogan of Muslim League or the top leaders of the movement raised it; rather it was being chanted by the workers for motivating the Muslim masses. The aim of this slogan was for the success of such movement with great objective.

Let us turn the Pakistan and evaluate the present situation. Today Pakistani nation are in big crisis. The whole country affected with flood, terrorism and hunger. The flood in Pakistan is the worst flood and according to the United Nations that the destruction caused by this flood is more than the combined destruction of Tsunami, Their homes destroyed. Damage of crops, roads and bridges have caused food prices to triple in the already deprived nation. Thousands peoples killed and millions peoples needing emergency assistance. The government has been sharply criticized for a slow and patchy response to the floods. Our corrupt leaders, politicians, officers, some media and judges also failed to deliver. They take such decisions that prevail the perception that Pakistan is moving towards an end. Let us sacrifice our lives for the bright future of Pakistan. Islam taught us how to love and care. We stand on a Islamic ideology which we hope the world with us will share let the world that we are the Kashmir Earthquake, and Haiti Earthquake. People of peace. God help those who help their fellow man. By just a little lack of courage our people are suffering, for the innocent lives that lost everything in the flood, for the great leaders who created Pakistan for their sheded blood.

“If in the morning you visit a person who is ill, then until the evening seventy thousand angels will supplicate to Allah for you.” (Tirmidhi).

There is needed to take steps strongly to stop wrong steps, policies, things. Otherwise every policy, step and struggle is groundless. Initially we should evaluate and improve him. It is most important that we all open our eyes, if we want to see and differentiate between wrong and right things. Today it’s great tragedy that majority impress and adopted wrong wealthy, attractive ways. Wrong and destructive things can never be seen if we don’t open our eyes, raise our voice against wrong things and check the wrong things with some accountability for all equally in every field of life. All leaders, politicians, bureaucrats and officers in every field of life are answerable for their actions directly or indirectly. Today the gap between the rich and poor widened and the living standards of the middle class and the laborers went from bad to worse. Pressing issues such as poverty, hunger and homelessness proved difficult to solve. Wealth went to the pockets of the rich. These power hunger persons are unable to provide the most basic services for their citizens. The main problem is ignorance, inequality and lack of social justice etc. Islam establishes equity, fairness and justice in the production and distribution of wealth. So let us go back to the right path, help one another in righteousness and piety. Its time raise voice against sin and rancor.

O mankind Eat of that which is lawful and wholesome in the earth, and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo he is an open enemy for you.

Today our Pakistani youth easily understand this problem and easily solve with the help of Islam and the proper manner with peace and humanity. Our youth easily will achieve stability, progress and prosperity very soon. It’s a time we have to change ourselves especially to change richest, selfish and greedy leaders. They only are caring their pockets and bellies. Its time turning towards proper planning, proper understanding and proper engineering principles worth the time and effort needed for betterment of the public/ humanity with a compassionate feeling and passion. Our leaders, politicians and bureaucrats need to be people of integrity if they are to hold the trust of people. Its is time for collective Tauba and repentance and rising to reclaim our lost glory. We should love Allah’s humanity, Muslims, Pakistanis. Because Pakistan is our dear homeland, we have root in it. In true sense Pakistan is our true shelter, and true home. All praise is for Allah, The most kind, the most merciful. Allah is master of the Day of Judgment. We all ask for help. My Allah guides us along the straight path. The path of those on whom Allah has bestowed his grace and rewarded. Ameen.
