کتب خانوں کی کمیابی اور مطالعہ کا فقدان

ایک  وقت تھا جب  کتب و رسائل پڑھنے کا رجحان کافی زیادہ تھا جو رفتہ رفتہ ناپید ہوتا چلا گیا۔ اس کا ذمہ دار ٹی وی یا کمپیوٹر کو دیں یا کسی اور چیز کو اس کا سبب بیان کریں مگر حقیقت تو یہ ہے کہ من حیث القوم ہم نے کتب بینی سے منہ موڑ لیا ہے۔ انٹرنیٹ اور ویب کو بھی ہم معلومات کے حصول کے لیے انتہائی کم اور دیگر تفریحی مشاغل کے لیے زیادہ استعمال کرتے ہیں۔

مجھے اپنا بچپن یاد ہے جب ہم "ماہنامہ نونہال" کے دیوانے تھے اور پورا مہینہ اسکا انتظار کیا کرتے تھے اور جب پڑھنے بیٹھتے تو پورا      رسالہ ختم کر کے ہی اٹھتے تھے۔ صرف یہی نہیں بلکہ اخبار کا مطالعہ بھی روزانہ کے معمولات میں شامل ہوتا تھا بھلے اس میں صرف ٹارزن کی تصویری کہانی  ہی پڑھیں۔ جب عمر تھوڑی سی زیادہ ہوئی تو کہانیوں کے انتحاب میں بھی تبدیلی ہوئی اور مشہور مصنف اشتیاق احمد کے لکھے ہوئے جاسوسی ناول پڑھنے شروع کیے۔ ساتھ ساتھ ابنِ صفی اور مظہر کلیم کے لکھے ہوئے عمران سیریز کے ناول بھی سیکڑوں کی تعداد میں  پڑھے۔ صرف یہی نہیں  بلکہ دیگر اخبارات اور  رسائل  بشمول  ڈائجسٹوں کے مطالعہ میں شامل رہے۔ یہ مطالعہ تو وہ ہے جو محض تفریحات میں شامل ہے مگر وقت گزرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ مختلف موضوعات پر کتابوں کے مطالعے کا سلسلہ بھی چل نکلا تھا جن میں سائنس ، ادب، مذہب اور تاریخ شامل تھے جو اب بھی جاری ہے۔ بچپن سے مطالعہ کی عادت جو کہ ہمیں ہمارے بڑوں سے ورثہ میں ملی بڑے ہو کربہت کام آئی اور جب ہی آج بھی کتابوں سے محبت اپنی جگہ برقرار ہے۔

کسی نے ٹھیک ہی کہا ہے کہ کتاب انسان کی بہترین دوست ہوتی ہے۔ مگر یہ سچا دوست آجکل  نا پید ہوتا جا رہا ہے۔ آجکل نوجوانوں کے ہاتھوں میں موبائل فون اور ٹیبلٹ  تو نظر آتے ہیں مگر کتابیں نہیں ۔ انکے لیے تو نصاب کی کتب کو پڑھنا بھی جوئے شیر لانے کے مترادف ہے۔

لائبریریوں کا تو میری نوجوانی کے زمانے میں بھی فقدان تھا اور اب تو کتب خانے تباہی کے دہانے پر ہیں۔ کالج کے زمانے میں اپنے گھر کے قریب ایک کتب خانے جانے کا اتفاق ہو۔ کتب خانے ميں داخل ہونے کے بعد یہ پہلے تو یہ گمان  ہوا کہ غلطی سے کہیں میں کسی کباڑخانے میں تو داخل نہیں ہو گیا ہوں۔ اتنا وحشت زدہ ماحول پہلے کبھی نہیں دیکھا تھا جس کی وجہ سے  ذہین میں یہی سوچ چل رہی تھی کہ لوگ یہاں بیٹھ کر مطالعہ کس طرح کرتے ہوں گے۔ ان مشکالات سے گزرنے کے بعد جب کتابوں کی فہرستوں تک پہنچا تو کافی دیر سر کھپانے کے بعد بھی اپنی مطلوبہ کتب تلاش  نہ کرسکا۔  فہرستوں سے صاف اندازہ ہوتا تھاکہ نئی کتب کی آمد کا سلسلہ عرصہ دراز سے بند ہو چکا ہے۔ اس دن کے بعد سے پھر دوبارہ اس کتب خانے کا رخ کرنے کی ہمت نہ ہوئی۔ یہ بات آج سے کوئی بیس سال پہلے کی ہوگی اور آج نجانے کیا حال ہو چکا ہو گا۔

زمانہء طالب علمی کے گزرنے اور عملی زندگی میں قدم رکھنے کے بعد ایک بار انٹر بورڈ جانا ہوا تو لگے ہاتھوں یہ بھی سوچا کہ یہاں کی لائبریری میں ممبرشپ بھی حاصل کرلی جائے۔ یہ سوچ لے کر اندر داخل ہوا تو دائیں طرف ایک خاتون میز کرسی لگائے بیٹھی تھیں۔  ان کے پاس پہنچ کر میں نے اپنا مدعا بیان کیا کہ  تو  ان کا جواب سن کر میں سٹپٹا کر رہ گیا  کیوں کہ خاتون نے مجھ سے پوچھا تھا کہ میں لائبریری کی  ممبرشپ کیوں حاصل کرنا چاہتا ہوں۔ تھوڑی دیر تک ميں خاموشی سے کھڑا رہا اور پھر جواب دیا کہ لائبریری میں لوگ کس کام کےلیے آتے ہیں یہ بات آپ مجھ سے بہتر جانتی ہیں۔ اسکے بعد تو خاتون نے مجھے ممبر شپ فارم تو دے دیا مگر  پوری کوشش کی کہ میں ممبر شپ لیے بغیر ہی وہاں سے چلا جاؤں۔  وجہ اسکی صرف یہ تھی کہ جنتے زیادہ لوگ ممبر شپ حاصل کریں گے تو لائبریرین کے کام میں اتنا ہی زیادہ اصافہ ہو گا۔ یہی وجہ تھی کہ خاتون گنے چنے چند لوگوں کو ممبر شپ دے کر آرام سے میز کرسی لگائے بیٹھیں تھیں اور میں انکے آرام میں مخل ہونے جسارت کر بیٹھا تھا۔

مطالعہ کے فقدان کی ایک بنیادی وجہ مہنگائی میں اصافہ ہے جس کی وجہ سے قارئین کتب کی خریداری سے قاصر ہیں۔ ایک بار ایک کتابوں کی دکان پر صحیح بخاری کا  کئی جلدوں پر مشتمل مکمل مجموعہ دیکھا۔ دل میں خواہش پیدا ہوئی کہ خریدا جائے اور دکاندار سے قیمت معلوم کر بیٹھا اور خود ہی شرمندہ ہو کر واپس آگیا کیونکہ انکی قیمت سینکڑوں  میں نہیں  بلکہ ہزاروں ميں تھی  جو میری استطاعت سے باہر تھی۔ کتب خانوں کی ضرورت اسی وجہ سے ہوتی ہے کہ تمام کتب ہر کسی کی دسترس میں آ سکیں اور ہر خاص و عام ان سے فائدہ اٹھا سکے۔

کراچی کی جتنی آبادی ہے اس کے تناسب میں کتب خانے نہ ہونے کے برابر ہیں اور دیگر شہروں کا بھی حال ایسا ہی ہے اور لوگوں میں کتب بینی کا شوق ویسے ہی معدوم ہو چکا ہے ۔  جن قوموں میں مطالعہ کا فقدان ہوجاتا ہے  انکی ذہنی صلاحیتیں تنزلی کا شکار ہو جاتی ہیں اور وہ کبھی  ترقی کی منازل طے نہیں کر سکتی ہیں۔

کیا انگریزی ذریعہ تعلیم ہماری ترقی کے لیے ضروری ہے

انگریزی تعلیم کے حوالے سے فرمان نواز صاحب کی تحریر[کیا سائنس کی ترقی ہمارے خلاف ہے] نظر سے گزری جو کہ  ایکسپریس کی ویب سائٹ پر ہفتہ، 14جون کو شائع ہوئی۔ یہ تحریر انکے جذبات کا آئینہ ہے۔ انہوں نے کھل کر اپنے جذبات کا اظہار کیا ہے۔انکی یہ جذباتی تحریر انکی پاکستان اور پاکستانی عوام سے دیرینہ محبت کو ظاہر کرتی ہے مگر انکی سمت تھوڑی سی غلط ہے۔ انگریزی زبان کے جو فوائد انہوں نے گنوائے ہیں ان سے اتفاق کرتا ہوں مگر انگریزی کو ذریعہ تعلیم بنانے سے اختلاف کرتا ہوں۔ اس   اختلاف کو  سمجھنے کے لیے  ہمیں  اقوام کے ماضی اور حال پر نظر ڈالنی ہو گی اور اردو                              زبان کی اہمیت کو سمجھنا ہوگا۔

 دنیا کی کوئی بھی قوم ایسی نہیں ہے جس نے کسی اور زبان میں تعلیم حاصل کر کے ترقی کی ہو۔ آپ کے سامنے پورے یورپ کی مثال موجود ہے۔ کسی بھی یورپی ملک میں انگریزی زبان  کو نہ تو سرکاری حیثیت  حاصل ہے نہ ہی  تعلیمی ۔ وہ تمام مضامین اپنی ہی زبان میں پڑھاتے اور سکھاتے ہیں۔ چین اور جاپان تو ایشیا سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں مگر پھر بھی انکے یہاں ذریعہ تعلیم انگریزی نہیں ہے۔تمام مضامین جن میں سائنس اور انجینیرنگ بھی شامل ہیں وہ اپنی ہی زبان میں پڑھاتے ہیں اور بہترین نتائج بھی حاصل کرتے ہیں۔

 مختلف ممالک میں ملازمت حاصل کرنے کے لیے اگر انگریزی کی ضرورت ہے تو اسکو   درجہ دوم کی زبان کے طور پر با آسانی سیکھا جا سکتا ہے۔  ملازمت یا تعلیم کے حصول کے لیے ہماری آبادی کا بہت ہی زیادہ قلیل حصہ ہی سفر کرکے بیرون ملک جاتا ہے۔   اس بات کو وجہ بنا کر  پورے ملک کا زریعہ تعلیم انگریزی کر دینا کسی صورت بھی مناسب نہیں ہے جبکہ ہمارے ملک کی آبادی کا بہت بڑا حصہ دیہاتوں میں بستا ہے جہاں تعلیمی صورت حال ویسے ہی بڑی خستا ہے ۔ انگریزی محض ایک زبان ہے جو کہ کوئی بھی شخص کچھ ہی مہینوں کی محنت کے بعد با آسانی سیکھ سکتا ہے اور اپنے خیالات کو الفاظ کا جامہ پہنانے کے قابل ہو جاتا ہے۔ اسکے لیے بچوں کو انکی معصومیت کے دنوں میں تختہ مشق بنانا کہاں کی عقلمندی ہے۔

مسلمانوں کے عروج کے زمانے میں یورپی اقوام کے فرد عربی زبان سیکھتے ضرور تھے وہ بھی صرف اس لیے کہ مسلمانوں کے علم سے استفادہ  حاصل کرسکیں مگر اپنے ممالک میں عربی کو ذریعہ تعلیم نہیں بناتے تھے۔آپ تاریخ میں سے کوئی ایک مثال سامنے رکھ دیں جس سے پتہ چلتا ہو کہ مسلمانوں کے عروج کے زمانے میں  کسی یورپی قوم نے عربی کو اپنایا ہو یا  اپنا ذریعہ تعلیم بنایا ہو۔ آج ہم لفظ الجبرہ تو سنتے ہیں اور کہتے ہیں کہ یہ عربی لفظ ہے مگر صرف اس نام کے آپ کو ماضی کی  الجبرہ کی کسی کتاب میں عربی نظر نہیں آئے گی جو کسی یورپین حساب دان نے لکھی ہوگی۔ اسپین کا حال تو سب ہی جانتے ہیں، کیاانہوں نے بھی مسلمانوں کے جانے کے بعد عربی کو ذریعہ تعلیم بنایا تھا ؟ یقینا نہیں۔ انہوں نے تو  عربی لباس ، عربی زبان اور عربی ثقافت کا قلع قمع کرنے کی بھرپور کوشش کی، جس میں وہ پوری طرح کامیاب بھی رہے۔ انہوں نے تو مسلمانوں کا علمی زخیرہ تک جلا کر خاکستر کردیاتھا، وہ تمام کتابیں جو عربی زبان میں تھیں چاہے وو مذہبی ہوں یا نہ ہوں صفحہ ہستی سے مٹا ڈالی تھیں۔ اسکے باوجود آج انکا شمار ترقی یافتہ ممالک میں کیا جاتا ہے۔

بابائے قوم محمد علی جناح یقینا ً فر فر انگریزی بولتے تھے لیکن اردو کو قومی اور سرکاری زبان بنانے والے بھی وہ ہی تھے۔ اگر وہ اردو کی اہمیت نہ جانتے ہوتے تو ایسا کبھی نہ کرتے۔ اردو وہ زبان ہے جو پاکستان کے مختلف  علاقوں میں  بسنے والے اور مختلف زبان بولنے والوں مختلف علاقائی ثقافت رکھنے والوں کو  آپس میں جوڑتی ہے۔ اردو جو کہ عربی ، فارسی، ہندی اور کئی زبانوں کا مجموعہ ہے اپنے دامن میں ان سب زبانوں میں موجود علم کو سمیٹے ہوئے ہے اور مزید زبانوں اور ان میں موجود علوم کو خود میں ضم کرنے کی بھر پور صلاحیت رکھتی ہے۔ اس وجہ سے اسکو بولنا اور سیکھنا نہایت آسان ہے۔ اسکا  رسم الخط  بھی عربی پر مشتمل ہے جس سے ایک ایسا شخص بھی واقف ہوتا ہے جو کبھی اسکول ہی نہ گیا ہو کیونکہ ناظرہ قرآن کی تعلیم ہر شخص ہی حاصل کرتا ہے۔ اردو کی بدولت قرآنی عربی سمجھنا  اور آیات کے معنی اور مفہوم سمجھنا انتہائی آسان ہو جاتا ہے۔

مضمون نگار خود  ذہنی طور پر الجھن کا شکار ہیں  اور واضح نہیں کر پارہے کہ کہنا کیا چاھتے ہیں۔ کبھی وہ انگریزی کو ہماری ترقی کا  ذریعہ ثابت کرنے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں اور بعد میں خود ہی لکھتے ہیں کہ ہماری زبوں حالی کی وجہ قدامت پرستی اور بنیاد پرستی ہے زبان نہیں۔ خود ہی  فرماتے ہیں کہ ترقی یافتہ ممالک میں "قومی زبان" کے ساتھ ساتھ ایک  دوسری زبان بھی پڑھائی جاتی ہے لیکن جناب یہاں یہ چاہتے ہیں کہ دوسری زبان کے ساتھ ساتھ قومی زبان بھی پڑھا دی جائے، کیا کریں قومی زبان جو ٹھہری۔ جہاں تک  بات ڈارون کی ہے تو اس پر تفصیل سے آئندہ کبھی لکھوں گا۔ دنیا بھر میں جو لوگ بھی خدا پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں چاہے وہ کسی بھی مذہب سے تعلق رکھتے ہوں انسانی ارتقاء کے نظریے کی مخالفت کر تے ہیں۔ اس نظریے کی شدت سے حمایت صرف دہریے ہی کرتے ہیں۔ اسکی  وجہ صرف یہ ہے کہ اس نظریے کے ذریعے وہ خدا کے وجود کو رد کرنے کی ناکام کوشش کرتے  ہیں۔ محترم،  اگرآپ  صرف نظریہء ارتقاء کو ہی سائنس سمجھتے ہیں اور انگریزی کو سائنس کی زبان سمجھتے ہیں تو آپ سائنس کے حوالے سے انتہائی سطحی معلومات رکھتے ہیں۔ یہ انتہائی غیر منطقی بات ہے کہ سائنس کو کسی ایک زبان کے ساتھ جوڑ دیا جائے۔ انگریزی صرف اور صرف ایک زبان ہے جس  کا ہماری ترقی یا تننرلی سے کوئی تعلق نہیں ہے۔

میں خود ایک استا د ہوں اور یہ بات جانتا ہوں کہ طالب علموں کو انگریزی کی با نسبت اردو میں سمجھانا نہایت آسان ہوتا ہے۔  اپنی زبان میں جو فہم ایک استاد اپنے طلباء کو دے سکتاہے وہ کسی اجنبی زبان میں ممکن ہی نہیں ہے۔ سائنس کو سیکھنے اور سمجھنے کے لیے انگریزی کی کوئی ضرورت نہیں ہے اگر ضرورت ہے تو اس امر کی ہے کہ تعلیمی اداروں اور تعلیم سے وابستہ اساتذہ اور محکمہء تعلیم سے وابستہ افسران اور ماہرین تعلیم کا معیار  جانچا جائے اور انہیں بہتر کیا جائے۔  تعلیمی پالیسیاں اس طرح تیار کی جائیں کے  کارگر ثابت  ہوں اور بجٹ میں تعلیم کے لیے ایک خطیر رقم مختص کی جائے اور نصاب کی ایک مقررہ وقت پر  تدوین کی جائے اور اس پر نظر ثانی کی جائے اور اسے بین الاقوامی معیا ر سے ہم آہنگ کیا جائے۔ انگریزی کو محض ایک زبان کہ طور پر پڑھا یا جائے۔  اگر یہ اقدامات خلوص نیت کے ساتھ اٹھالیے گئے تو ہمیں ترقی کرنے سے کوئی نہیں روک سکتا ہے۔

Muslims under threat - Who is responsible?

The Middle East crisis is now at its peak. After Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya and Egypt, now its Syria's turn to overrun by US and NATO forces. It is hard to understand what is really going on in middle east. One by one all the Muslim countries are being invaded by crusaders and our leaders are fool enough to understand the scenario and act properly to counter these intrigues and conspiracies against the Muslim world.

The New World Order is about to complete and I am pretty sure, in some years almost all the major middle eastern countries will be captured or under influenced by US and NATO or simply under Zionist control. Dictators like Hafiz al-Assad, Colonel Qaddafi, Hosnie Mubarak and others not only suppressed the people of their countries but also played as a puppet controlled by Zionists willingly or stupidly. Stupid foreign policies has also played a major role of Muslim down fall. These stupid leaders had and still has no ability to resolve the Ethnic and Sectarian conflicts within Muslims.

Beside the conspiracies and intrigues against Muslims by Zionists, we Muslims are also responsible for our down fall. What happened to the Muslim world? Lets explore it.

The fall of the Ottoman Empire (Khilafat-e-Usmania)
The great Muslim empire was not destroyed by wars and weapons of mass destruction but it was destroyed by a thought called "Nationalism". A British intelligence officer worked in Middle east as a diplomat was titled Lawrence of Arabia because he was the one who pour the fuel on the fire of Arab nationalism and it was he, who motivated Arab leaders to stand against the unity of Muslim in the name of Arab nationalism. One man fooled the Arab world and after that all the Arab world first became the slaves of Europeans and than then became the slaves of kings and lifelong presidents and military dictators and tyrants. The concept of Muslim Ummah has been forgotten since. Muslims are divided into ethnic nationalist and secular countries with their own national interests. The Ottoman emperors were also stupid, and they were under great influence of theocracy of static mind religious leaders, who didn't want to progress in modern way to compete in the field of science and technology with Europe.
These circumstances produces leaders like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk was no doubt a patriot of Turk people but he lead his turk nation to the way against Islam and tried to remove the Muslim identity of Turkey as the center of the Ottoman empire and tried to make turkey a country acceptable for the west.

The creation of Israel
After the fall of ottoman empire and world war I, most of the Arab countries were captured by Europeans. Palestine became the part of British Empire and it was the first step towards the foundation of Israel. Balfour declaration facilitated Zionists to go and settle in Palestine. The Arabs welcomed the Zionists there and sold their lands to Jews without realizing and understanding the game plan of Zionists. They figure out it when they have nothing left to resist and they lost everything, their land, homes, businesses, and most precious freedom and their country.

The creation of Pakistan
Pakistan came into being in the name of Islam but its so sad that we could not delivered, and could not build Pakistan according to the vision of our founding fathers. Pakistan's Political, Social and Economic system should be based purely on Quran and Sunnah. Pakistan should be the carbon copy of the State of Medina but what happened, everybody knows. It is a great failure.

Iran-Iraq war
The most worst and the most painful event was the Iran-Iraq war. This war was started on some minor border conflict which could be solved easily but it became the conflict between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Most Arab nations like Saudi Arab supported Iraq and Some supported Iran. It was a great opportunity for the big powers to use this conflict in Muslims for their on benefit and to fulfill their policies to reshape the middle east. This war ended with huge loss of life and bloodshed of both Shiite and Sunni Muslims.

Role of Major Muslim Countries in Gulf war
The Gulf war showed the world how stupid our Arab leaders are. They could not resolve a small issue between Kuwait and Iraq and even OIC could not stop the war intentions. Saddam attacked and captured Kuwait and The great Saudi royal family invited US and Allied forces to attack Iraq because they wanted to protect their own throne."Khadim-ul-Harmain Ash-Sharifain" invited Crusaders to protect the holy cities of Makkah and Madina. How stupid was that decision, and the result of that decision is in the form of permanent military bases of US and NATO forces in Saudi Arab, Kuwait and Iraq. The Osama bin Laden character and Al-Qaeda was also the result of same stupid and non sense decision. Pakistan wanted to resolve that issue with talks but PM Nawaz Sharif could not force Saudis because they have close relations and that is why PM Nawaz Sharif could not release a single statement in favor of President Morsi because Saudis supported the military coup in Egypt.

Role of Iran in Afghan and Iraq wars
Iran's role in Afghan and Iraq wars is not a secret. Everyone knows that Iran supported US invasion and worked with CIA against Taliban. The reason is simple, Talibans were strict Sunni Muslims that is why Iran supported Northern alliance based on Shiites. Just like Afghan war, Iran supported CIA in Iraq to remove Saddam and bring a Shiite government. Although Iran and US has a long history of conflicts but Iran became American ally when it comes to sect. How sad is this.

The current situation
Thousands of Muslims killed in Egypt so far after the military coup lead by general Sisi and backed by judiciary. In Egypt Muslims are killing each other. Our worst enemies did not fire even a single gun shot and Thousands of people died. What a shameful time for the whole Muslim Ummah. Dictators, kings and life long presidents of middle east welcomed Sisi because they are afraid of the rising power the right wing party Ikhwan ul Muslimoon or Muslim Brotherhood. Saudi Royal family and Bashar al-Assad openly welcomed Sisi.

But in Syria , situation is different. In Syria the governing body is consist of Shiite Muslims and the opposition and rebels are Sunni Muslims, that is why although Iran is a democratic country but always supported and still now supporting Bashar al-Assad regime and the Sunnis all over the world supporting rebels that is why this war against tyranny of Assad now become the sectarian conflict.
American and Israelis were waiting for this to happen and now they have a great opportunity to use this sectarian conflict and political instability in the region to achieve their goals of reshaping and capturing the Middle East.

Chal Parha - Shehzad Roy is going to secularize the education system of Pakistan

Few years back, when I was a school student and a good listener of music, I was a big fan of guy named Shehzad Roy, a young and dynamic musician with great looks and voice. His songs were my favorite ones like "Dholna". After few years he became a big Pakistani Pop star. Shehzad is the guy who sung the Kalam-e-Iqbal "Khudi ka sirre nihan- La ilaha illalah" and after listening that song there is lot of respect for him in my heart and then he established an NGO for the betterment of education in Pakistan. It seems OK. Everyone appreciated him a lot but now in 2013 he come back with the new vision and agenda.

On March 2, 2013 I watched his program "Chal Parha" a documentary series about the Pakistani education and schooling system. In the previous episodes of the series, he analyzed and identified various points where our education system lacks, like financial problems, lack of proper funds, proper training of teachers and other things. It sounds good to me and I appreciated his efforts. but the last episode was about the curriculum.

As a teacher I know that our curriculum has not reviewed and redesigned time to time according to new trends. I always criticize it during my lectures in-front of my students and other meetings with other educationists and board officials.

In the above mentioned episode of Shehzad's documentary series he mentioned some points to be noted by the official to improve the curriculum. Some points are:

• Competitive publishing
• Accountability of review committee
• Adapting international books into regional languages according to our tradition
• Publishing of teaching guides of text books
• Eliminate exercises that encourage rote learning
• Curriculum should not be developed to provincial discretion entirely

Ok, all points are valid and acceptable but I am concern about the next point and that is:

• Remove discriminatory contents (Based on Gender and Religion) and tradition of presenting the twisted history in our books should be end.

What does he mean by discriminatory contents based on gender and religion and twisted history? Simple answer, to secularize the education system of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, got it?

I watched the entire episode and Shehzad only spoke about the religious topics in text books. He mentioned chapters about  our great heroes of our glorious past in our Urdu and English text books. Even he mentioned about the a chapter about Allama Iqbal and highlighted the paragraph about the views of Allama Iqbal about "Two Nation Theory" and declare it as "Hate Speech" against minorities.

He forgot that we, Muslims were the minority in united India and still Muslims are the oppressed minority there. The creation of Pakistan was necessary to maintain our dignity and religious identity and our new generations should be taught the Ideology and history about the creation of Pakistan (Importance of Two nation theory).

I could not find any chapter based on gender discrimination in our text books. 

He asked about the subjects Urdu and Social Studies that why topics based on religion are included in them. He demanded to eliminate the chapters about the historical Muslim personalities and our war heroes. I don't know what is the matter with these type of people, why are they so allergic to Islam and Islamic history and the Ideology of Pakistan. The text books are the main source of building up the mind set of a child and a child should be taught about his history and religion and this is the universal rule in education. When I was a kid I learned about the Greek mythological characters "Atlas" and "Samson" in my English book published by Oxford press. On the same series of English books, I read about the stupid fairy tales like "Little Red riding hood", "Hansel and Gretal", Pied piper and so on. 

Why should our children read about the stupid Greek mythology and nonsense fairy tales instead of our Islamic history?

The another concern of the Mr. Roy is that our books teaches about wars and war heroes a lot. In his little understanding of history, people like Haider Ali, Tipu sultan, Muhammad bin Qasim, Mehmood Ghaznavi, Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi and many others are the war lords and they have nothing to do with the peace, prosperity, harmony and progress and the chapters about them should be eliminated from the text books because these chapters are promoting violence.

Shehzad does not understand that history teaches us  what happened in the "Past" and what is going to happened in the "Future".

Shehzad, go to America and remove all the material regarding the American revolution ,War of Independence and French revolution from the curriculum. Because Pakistan did not invade Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Vietnam, Korea and many more and killed hundreds and thousands of people all over the world.

Mr. Javed chaurdry said that we should teach our students that we wanted freedom and we achieved that goal but don't tell them why we want the freedom and making of Pakistan i.e Ideology of Pakistan. How stupid is this.

And about the twisted history. Shehzad claimed that twisted history is being taught by our text books. Who the hell is he to decide that the written history is twisted. People like him are twisting the history to achieve their agenda. They are demoting Muhammad bin Qasim and promoting Raja Dahir. These people are stupid enough to understand that we are Muslim today because of the Great Muhammad bin Qasim.

In April 23, 1999 a conference was held in Berlin, Germany. In this conference a deceleration was released and purpose of that was Global wholesome, Global unity and Global mutuality.

It was declared that we should concentrate on the primary and secondary education.

A system should be developed that should have the same principles and morality. For this purpose the NGOs should be brought forward that are based on the western donations. And now Pakistani media is also well funded to achieve that goal. The Agha Khan board was formed also for the same purpose.

It is all about to secularize the Pakistani in every aspect. Americans and Europeans are spending billions of dollars in the form of funds given to the NGOs, Schools and Electronic and Print media to wipe out the principles of  religion from our lives and control our minds..

Shehzad should try to reveal the hidden secret of "Khudi".

Do we really know what kashmir day means?

By
Ms. Nazish Ilyas

A year ago, one of my students asked me a question on the same day i.e 5th February, that

Why do we celebrate Kashmir day?

I replied,
"The purpose is for Pakistani citizens to take time out and show support for their fellow Muslims in Kashmir who are living across LOC in Indian territory. On this day we condemn Indian aggression on the held valley, its occupation, its tyrannical rule and atrocities over innocent Kashmiris".

After made him satisfy I asked that question to myself and wondered to realize that Kashmir day seems to be just like a holiday for us. Since my school time, no one has ever explained to me that the holiday was actually a day of protest.

I have never seen protesting people around me and not even talking about Kashmir and Kashmiris instead of that we are quite happy to get a day off, planing for outing, arranging get togathers etc. but thats all are not for protesting or to condemn Indian aggression in Kashmir.

No Protest, No Banners, No condemnation and even no solidarity.....

A year ago the question asked by my student still revolves in my mind but in another perspective as:

"So why do we celebrate Kashmir day?".

Pakistan, Quaid and August 11

Sometimes it happen that one word or one sentence “clicks” in the mind and lights up or brighten everything; things that are very confusing become clear in no time.

I do remember one such incidence. In early days of President Musharraf, when he had visited Turkey and praised Kamal Ata Turk, secularists started debates in Pakistan for different things like repealing the blasphemy law etc. They might be hoping that during that regime they might be able to bring about some change in Pakistan just like modern day Turkey.

One issue among those was that whether Pakistan should be an Islamic State or a Secular State. They used Quaid-e-Azam’s speech of 11th August 1947 to support their idea of making Pakistan a secular state.

In those days, I was discussing it with someone and I mentioned that people say that Quaid-e-Azam had said such things in his speech that show that he might be thinking of a secular state. He asked me just one question in reply and that question enlightened me and cleared up all the confusion.

The question was:
Was Quaid-e-Azam a prophet? 

This question made it clear to me that we should take guidance from the Holy Prophet (p. b. u. h.) and see what his teachings are for a state. After that, I think, there is no room for further debate whether Quaid wanted a secular state or an Islamic state because we must do what the Prophet (p. b. u. h.) has asked us to do.

But I also think that the Quaid did not want a secular state (in the sense that the secular state does not take religious teachings in considerations for running its affairs) because at many other occasions he clearly said that we must take guidance from Islam. He was actually against a Theocratic state. To me, what he meant in his speech was that of tolerance and harmony within the state among different races, religions, and religious sects.

But even if Quaid did want to make a secular state then we still take guidance from the Holy Quran, which says:

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result. (4:59)

Pakistan's Weapons Manufacturing Industry - An example of Self reliance

Self reliance in weapons manufacturing is the backbone of any country to maintain its sovereignty and freedom and strong defense against their enemies, all the threats whether it is foreign or domestic. Weapon manufacturing is also an industry which can grow country's economy on a vast scale. Pakistan is listed in those few Muslim countries which have the ability to produce their own defense equipments and weapons. Pakistan has achieved many milestones in the development of modern weaponry systems including Missiles, Battle Ships, Submarines, Fighter and Training Aircrafts, Arms and Ammunition and Heavy Artillery.

Pakistan is the first Muslim country, accepted globally as seventh nuclear power of the world. This was like a dream come true and it became possible by our engineers and scientists hard work, efforts, dedication, self confidence, patriotism and all of the above by the grace of God. Pakistan became nuclear power in such a worst economic condition of the country and there were also the international pressure against Pakistan's nuclear program due to which we were sanctioned many times internationally.

Some of the leading institutes of weapons and military hardware manufacturing and research and development are:

Armament Research & Development Establishment
Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE), since its inception in 1974 has been undertaking research and development in the field of arms and ammunitions and has contributed significantly in establishing development and production base through collaboration with public and private sectors. Major accomplishments of ARDE are weapons and tank ammunition.

Defence Science & Technology Organization
Rawalpindi, Pakistan

The Defence Science & Technology Organization (DESTO) is the premier defence Research and Development organization of Defence Production Division, Ministry of Defence, Government of Pakistan. DESTO conducts research and development around weapons and weapon systems and renders professional advice on the application of science and technology. DESTO’s research and development environment covers a wide spectrum of fields, under the broad disciplines of aerodynamics, propulsion, defence electronics, computer systems, engineering, propellants, explosives, materials and chemical & biological defence etc.

Institute of Optronics
Ministry of Defence, Chaklala-Rawalpindi, Pakistan

 Institute of Optronics (IOP) has established state-of-the-art military specifications production and testing facilities of night vision devices, based on Image Intensifier Tubes. The Night Vision Systems, without turning the night into day, vastly improve the ability of the Armed Forces to undertake a number of vital functions related to force effectiveness. Command and control, surveillance, movements both tactical and logistical and accuracy of firepower are some of the areas of activities in which the Night Vision Devices are playing a formidable and vital role.

An indigenization programme to progressively develop and manufacture components in Pakistan for night vision systems is being vigorously pursued. The future plans of this institute include the establishment of facilities for night vision devices based on Thermal Imaging Techniques for all types of armoured vehicles and helicopters.

Pakistan -The gift of God

What is Pakistan? Why is it important and why is it created? Many questions we, youth have to face everyday in our life. Many questions that our parents and elders did not give answers to us. This is worst years in history of Pakistan when our youth has already lost their faith but our so-called intellectuals who are using their total effort to demoralize the people, specially youth of Pakistan. According to these intellectuals and so-called patriots, Muslims had never contributed in any field of science and technology, we are less in moral values than west, Pakistan is the worst country in the world. Indians are our sincere friends, two nation theory was a stupid idea and it has lost its value and importance when East Pakistan became Bangladesh, partition of subcontinent was wrong and Pakistan and India should be rejoined to make a confederation, Jinnah was the agent of British monarchy and he had a vision of a secular Pakistan.

Ideology of Pakistan is totally based on the "Two Nation Theory" which shows the clear difference between Muslims and Non-Muslims people of Subcontinent. Muslims and Hindus are the two major nations based on their religion. They are different in their history, tradition, customs, rituals, festivals, food, dress, life style and specially their religion.  That is why Pakistan must be created for Muslims to live their life in the way Islam taught them. It is only possible in the separate state. Muslims worship only one God, Allah but the Hindus worship countless gods and goddesses, and they also treated cows like their mother, worship snakes and stones, trees and many more things. Hindu religion is based the concept of polytheism and Islam is totally based on monotheism which is a complete opposite. Therefore it is not possible in any case that Muslim people could live in a Hindu majority and secular country and practice Islam in its true form.

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the great leader of Muslims of Indian sub continent. He wanted this Indo-Pak region free from the British monarchy and he was in favor of combine effort of Hindu and Muslims to liberate India. After he realize the fact that Hindus can never be faithful to Muslims and Muslims will never be free in the Hindu majority India, that is why he demanded the Pakistan and there is no difference of opinion about the creation of Pakistan, although some religious scholars were against this decision because they thought that case, the unity of Muslims of India will suffer, but the creation of Pakistan is a great secret, which will be revealed soon, إن شاء الله

The Spiritual aspect of  Pakistan

The Two Nation Theory was presented by Allama Muhammad Iqbal when he addressed in Alahabad, and then this theory became practical by the efforts and handwork of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Pakistan was not just a result of a political struggle but it has a strong spiritual aspect too. Lets explore the word Pakistan first. The word Pakistan is made up of two words "Pak" and "Istan". Pak means "Pure" and Istan means  "Land" therefore Pakistan means "The Land of the Pure" or in Arabic it will be written as "Madina-e-Tayyaba". Pakistan and the State of Madina established by Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) are based on the same ideology i.e "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah's prophet".

Not only the name and ideology is same as Madina, there are other events similar too. The Migration (Hijra) took place from Makkah to Madina to established the state of Madina, in the same manner, Migration from Hindu Mijority states of india to pakistan tookplace in 1947 to established the state of Pakistan. Pakistan came into being on 14 August, 1947, 27 Ramadan, 1366 hijra on the day of Friday. If we observe the the day and date we can definitely identify the greatness of Pakistan and the secret behind the creation of Pakistan. Pakistan is the only country in the world which was established on the ideology of Islam, created on the 27th day of Ramadan, the most holy month of Islam calendar, and 27th of Ramadan is the day of completion of the final revelation of God i.e Al-Qur'an. and last but not the least, it was Friday the most holy day in the week. This is not just a country established by the political movement but in-fact it is gifted by the Almighty God and Allah will protect it against all enemies including foreign and domestic.

The Spiritual aspect of  Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Life

I read an article about an interview of  96 years old Saint Chaudhry Fazal-e-Haq, a devotee of Quaid-e-Azam and former interior minister and IG Baluchistan, Sindh & Punjab, is great Ashiq-e-Rasool (S.A.W) and a very noble man. His articles published in Jang Newspaper for a long time. His interview was published in the renowned newspaper (Pakistan Observer) about the Quaid's dream about Pakistan when he was settled in England after leaving the India and started practice of law and left the politics. According to Chaudry Fazl-e-Haque, that dream was the turning point of Quiad's life and he came back to India in 1934 to lead the movement of Pakistan and shared his dream with Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani, a renowned religious scholar of that time.  The Quaid-i-Azam asked Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani not to mention the dream to anyone during his (Quaid’s) life time.

Chaudhry Fazal-e-Haq

As against general impression that the Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah had returned to India from London in end 1934 on persuasion by prominent Muslim leaders, this interview opens the new door of the history to understand the real reason of the Quaid decision to end his self exile and return to India after he dreamt of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) who asked him to go to India and lead the Muslims in their struggle for a separate homeland for the Muslims of South Asia.

Chaudry Fazl-e-Haque as a great devotee of Quaid-i-Azam would visit him in New Delhi during 1940s when he was also there. The Quaid though living in Bombay visited the Indian Capital during assembly sessions, meetings with viceroy, party conferences and exchanges of views with Congress leaders. The Quaid was kind to him and met him briefly after his breakfast. It was there that he developed his relationship with Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani who also frequently visited the Quaid in the morning before Mr. Jinnah took up his day,s work.

Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani at the Funeral of Quaid-e-Azam

Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani quoted the Quaid-i-Azam as saying:

“One evening, I was strolling in the lawn of my house in London when I smelt a unique fragrance. First I thought it was temporary phenomenon but the fragrance continued to prevail in the air. I could not understand as to what was the source of that fragrance. I decided to go to sleep. I could not sleep for quite some time. During sleep I saw a holy personality in my dream. The holy personality addressed me: ‘I am Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). I order you to go to India and lead the Muslims to their destiny. After the dream I awoke and started preparation for my return journey to India." 

Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah  was westernized in appearence but in fact he was a true Muslim and had a deep love for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Islam and Muslims of South Asia. That was the reason why he had devoted his life and all to the cause of the Muslims. People who have studied various phases of the Pakistan Movement and political career of Mr. Jinnah or those who have had access to Quaid’s associates, are convinced that the Founder of Pakistan took guidance from the Holy Quran and life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

The testimony given by Chaudry Fazl-e-Haque clearly shows two facts: One that Quaid-i-Azam took up his mission after he was asked to return to India by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in dream. This also shows his devotion to the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Two: That Pakistan came into being with the blessing of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

What is two nation theory and why it is important

On august 14, 2012 I logged on to the Facebook to check my status. I saw the post of Mr. Asfandyar Wali, leader of Awami National Party (ANP). He posted a picture depicting a sentence “This freedom is fake ”. the description of the picture was describing the true agenda of Awami National Party. Another picture posted on the same day showing a rally held by Baluch Nation Front in which participants holding a banner on which “Pakistan Mudabad” and “14 August Black day” was written.

 Interestingly on the next day on 15 August, 2012 I saw another post from the above mention leader of ANP, a picture showing Asfandyar wali and Indian Prime minister Mr. Manmohan Singh. The description is rather interesting, it stated:

"Today we are miles apart but I wanna reach across the miles and Say I’m thinking of you in a very special way.HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to all my Indian friends & specially Indian PM Manmohan Singh & President Pranab Mukergee."

After watching all that stuff, I was worried a lot because Asfandyar wali is a leader of a political party that has the provincial government in KP province and It is in coalition in Federal government. On the other hand organizations like JSQM and JSMM in Sindh are also against the sovereignty of Pakistan but these parties are not the mainstream parties in Pakistani politics.

Anyone would amazed why is it so? The answer is simple and I can express it in only one word “Nationalism”. Nationalism is the poison which is the major cause of war and hatred among the humans all over the world. I am talking about the the Nationalism based on land, ethnicity, language, culture and so on. Most of the people argue with me after listening my views about nationalism that ideology of Pakistan is also based on the nationalism-the two nation theory and you always speaks about Pakistani nationalism, yes it is right, partially. Pakistan’s ideology is based on the two nation theory, but the separation of these two nations are not based on ethnicity, language, land but on the religion.

The key point of difference between the two nations is their religion, namely Islam and Hinduism. Pakistan came into being purely on the basis of Islam. Pakistan should be an Islamic welfare state. Creation of Pakistan was not for Sindis, Punjabis, Baluch and Pathans, but for Muslims only to secure their identity, dignity and pride. I always in favour of Pakistani nationalism because it is the only country in the world based on the religion, not on ethnicity.

When Nationalism became first place in your ideology, religion automatically goes at the second place. And that is the birth of secularism. Almost two years earlier, I watched a program on Geo tv, that was an interview of the known leader of Sindh taraqqi pasand party, Dr. Qadir Magsi, he told the anchor person of that program that firstly, I am Sindhi then Muslim . He forgot to mention that he is Pakistani too J. All the nationalist parties of Pakistan have the same agenda to secularize Pakistan. These “Roshan Khayal” liberals and seculars always give the reference of Quaid-e-Azam’s speech of 11 September and try to portray him- our founding father, as a secular.

Now there is an important question I have to raise if Pakistan has to be a secular state then why Muslim’s of Sub-continent demanded the separate homeland? We Muslims could live in the united states of India. Stupidity at its peak.

Mr. Jinnah was a secular minded person? Because he wore English dress and speaks English rather than Urdu and had no beard. Certainly, he is not becasue he clearly mentioned in his various speeches that Hindu and Muslims are two separate nations. Some of quotes from Quaid’s speeches are given below:

“There are two major nations: The Hindus and Muslims. Hundered million of Muslims cannot be catagorized as a minority. We want the division of India into Hindustan and Pakistan because that is the only practical solution. Hindu India and Muslim India must be seperated because the two nations are entirely distinct and different and in some matters antagonistic to each other. Let me tell you some of the differences. We differ in our history, culture, language, architecture, music, laws, jurisprudence, calendar and our entire social fabric and code of life. One India is impossible realization. It will inevitably mean that the Muslims will be transferred from the domination of British to the caste Hindu rule. A position that Muslims will never accept. Muslims desire freedom more than anyone else. Because love for freedom, fraternity and liberty is the lifeblood of their existence. But freedom must means freedom, both, from exploitation and hindu domination. Hundred million Muslims will never agree merely to a change of masters.”

 “And we fought for Pakistan because there was danger of denial of these human rights in the sub-continent. We aspired for these great ideas because of centuries of dual domination by the foreign rulers and caste-ridden social system. This domination continued for over two hundred years, until we realized that it would be ultimately mean complete extinction of Mussalmans, individually as human beings and collectively as a nation. After all, the story of Pakistan and it’s struggle and achievements, is the very story of great human ideals, struggling to survive in the face of odds and difficulties. It was merely a government which came into existence. It means the birth of a great State and a great nation one supplementing the other and both existing for each other. You are voicing my sentiments and the sentiments of million of Mussalmans. When you say that Pakistan should be based on pure foundations of social justice and Islamic Socialism; not other isms. Pakistan Zindabad.” 

(March 1948, Chittagong, East Pakistan)

“It is extremely difficult to appreciate why our Hindu friends fail to understand the real nature of Islam and Hinduism. They are not religious in the strict sense of the word, but are, in fact, different and distinct social orders; and it is only a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality. This misconception of one Indian Nation has troubles and will lead India to destruction if we fail to revise our notions in time. The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, literatures. They neither intermarry nor interdine together and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspect on life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Mussalmans derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes, and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other and, likewise, their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built for the government of such a state.” 

(Presidential Address by the Quaid-i-Azam, Lahore March 22-23, 1940)

I don’t have a beard and I also wear western clothes but I am not a secular minded person. I love Islam and Muslims. It is simply the lack of understanding that Mr. Jinnah was secular.

Muslim of India were the rulers of this region for over thousand years. We had a dignity which would suffer heavily in the united India. Today Muslim of Bharat are suffering badly. They treated like Hindu Dalits. There is no prominent representation of Muslims in all the Major political parties of India, although it is claimed that India is a secular state.

Two nation theory is not the theory proposed by the Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, but it was declared by the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) himself fourteen hundred years back. In the state of Madina, people from all the arab tribes had the common identity that they were Muslims and after such a long period of time, the history repeated itself and Pakistan came into being on the same principle. That is why I called Pakistan “The Madina-e- Saani”. Islam is the phenomenon that makes the human unite and nationalism is the lethal poison that kills the unity amongst the humans and divide them to small ethnic groups with no respect for others because their national interest is the main objective of their foreign policy at any cost, no matter hundred and thousand of humans die. We can see this with our own eyes in different parts of the world. World war I and II were not fought for the religious conflicts but everyone knows the conflicts were based on ethnic nationalism.

India’s main objective is to disintegrate Pakistan into smaller nationalist states like Baluchistan, Sindhu desh, Azad Khyber Pukhtunkhua. Not only India wants this but has the complete support by Israel and United States of America. People said it is conspiracy theory. It is not a ground reality but these people always speaks what their masters (Donors ) want. I am talking about the so called NGOs funded by the America and Europe and also India. I am talking about those journalist who sold their souls for dollars. I am talking about those politicians who want to disintegrate Pakistan and raise their hands for friendship to our enemies.

Today, Pakistan has once again become the target of Indian machinations and is being subjected to propaganda and intrigues, as New Delhi is exploiting the current political instability, economic meltdown and ethnic/social division among different segments of the Pakistani society. Thus, it is polluting the minds of Pakistani youth by claiming that their country’s salvation lies in reuniting with India and that the Two-Nation Theory became defunct after 1947. Pseudo attempts. like Aman ki Asha. are a case in point for discrediting it, which must be counteracted with logic.
