I too have a dream - Part II
By HAMID NILNAGIMy Islamic land will have big centres of learning where besides Islamic sciences latest technology will be taught leaving out the current western teachings. It will do away with that mad pursuit of technology that plays havoc with the moral and cultural upbringing of our children. Here I may point out Qurâan must have central focus in Islamic Sciences besides Prophetâs (SAW) sunnah which were mainly responsible before to help my people to be at the top of the world. My nationâs economy will be interest free economy so that no rich could exploit our poor. The money will keep circulating and will not remain stationed with the rich people only. Zakat system will be a corner stone of our national economic edifice. Paying of Zakat will be strictly taken care of. It will be ensured that the Zakat collected will be distributed to the deserving people so that a time will come no one in our world will remain poor and we will have no people who will receive Zakat. Due care will be taken that every family will have sufficient for livelihood. My government will take care of every home and family so that none of our womenfolk will feel need to earn due to poverty. I dream that our lands will be better utilized by our people. Only those people will be allowed to keep big farms who will be able to cultivate it and not to misuse it for their luxuries. Our Agriculture scientists will go to our farmers to their lands to teach them about the newer techniques, better seeds and ways of farming so that our yields will be such that we would require nothing from the rest of world not a single grain so that they could not exploit us. As my ideal nation is big and comprises almost half the world, we could get items from one province to other as such will not depend on any one. My nation will have big industries (of which it is devoid except few) where mass production of the things will take place which will cater daily needs of our people besides exports. Industrial plants where our crude oil will be cleaned without anyoneâs support. Besides traditional power plants we will have nuclear power plants to render the needs of our people. We will have units where we could manufacture arms and ammunition for our forces. Plants where we could manufacture ships, aircrafts and land vehicles for the people and armed forces of our nation. I dream my world to be so powerful that no one could dare to eye upon it. So powerful that no one could frighten us by tell us âeither with us or themâ. My nation will be an atomic super power with latest long range ballistic missiles, aerial fleets, sub marines. It will have a big brave Air force, Navy and Army guided with spirit of jehad. So potent, that no could have guts to colonize us on one pretext and other. No one would have courage to kill our youth in our own lands. Just I am pouring out my dream, my ears are hearing the gun shots coming from the vicinity, I know some of my brother will be there target of colonial forces. In my dream world these colonizers will not dare to touch our soil not to talk about killing our own people especially our youth in the heart of our cities. I dream when no one in this universe will try to throw us out of our houses. So mighty will be my nation that no one will even think of making the lives of our womenfolk miserable. Our womenfolk will be happy again as they will have full faith that their young sons, husbands and brothers are safe and will return back in evenings to them. Nothing will be there to make them weep. Their eyes beaming with joy and devoid of tears of sorrow. They will have people like Tariq bin Ziyad, Mosa bin Nasir, Muhammed bin Qasim, Auranzeb, Mehmood Gazni like people to protect and defend from enemies of Islam. They will have no fear except to care for their houses and children and live a happy Islamic life. I dream of a nation where no one will point finger on my beard. No one will question my sisterâs Purdah. No one will have fear of wearing khan dress. The dream which I visualize is not only my dream but of millions of my people on this earth. My dream is the result of an inspiration which I get from my great beloved Prophet (SAW). The dream about which Allama Iqbal (RA) has said âChino Arab hamara hindustan hamara - muslim hain hum watan hai sara jahan hamaraâ. Let no one feel that this dream is impossible to realise. Believe me we have been dreaming it the last 1300 years and particularly from the start of twentieth century when my nation was set apart. --Concluded (The author can be mailed at haamidi2003@yahoo.co.in) Posted by: john 2005-10-14 |
