The Power Of Our Ideology

The state of Pakistan was established through the force of ideology- and due to this ideology the country got the strength to survive these six decades. This state was born with a miracle, it has been sustained by miracles, and it is meant to show the world how to work miracles too. The dream of a separate homeland where this ideology could and would direct the Muslims’ lives came into existence on 14th August 1947.

It is a territory that has been paid for not in gold, but an entity much more valuable- “BLOOD”

Against all natural laws, this newborn nation dealt with and survived the refugee overflow, the first war over Kashmir, the water dispute with India, a financial emergency and much more, with just a makeshift army and hardly any industry or infrastructure, before it was a year old. We have suffered blows and recovered time and again, so much so that we surprised the world again by becoming the only Muslim nuclear power. Is it all coincidence? It would be too far-fetched to call our entire history that.

We see the power and potential our ideology has. Allama Iqbal and the Quaid-e-Azam were two figures who tried to explain this potential to us; Iqbal through his writings, and the Quaid followed up by actually providing us with the instrument we must use to empower this ideology: the state of Pakistan. The two-nation theory was not a new idea; it was the expression of facts visible to all. Quaid-e-Azam said:

“We are a Nation of a hundred million… with our distinct culture and civilization, language and literature, art and architecture, legal laws and moral codes, customs and calendar, history and traditions, aptitudes and ambitions. In short, as Muslims we have our own distinctive outlook on life. By all cannons of international laws, we are a nation.”

  2. Today, Pakistanis take their country for granted. I think that we should value our country greatly because our forefathers paid with their lives so that we could live comfortably without religious pressures.

    I think we should be reminded of the sacrifices that had to be made, and the blood that had to be shed, so that Pakistan could make its place on the World Map. Only then can we cherish Pakistan and take care of it, the way we should.
