The Ideology of Pakistan, its Purpose & Importance
by Hazrat Maulana Capt. Wahid Bakhsh Siyal Rabbani Chishti Sabri

Pakistan is the only country in the world which has been created for the same most noble, loftiest and most important ideals, that formed the basis for the first Pakistan [the Muslim state created by the Holy Prophet [peace be upon him] in Medina]. The objectives of the first Muslim state were to banish Falsehood, uphold Truth, and implement Divine Law on earth.

Such a state exists to counter infidelity, polytheism, exploitation & oppression: it aims to save humanity from the evil of kneeling at the altars of false gods of all kinds, idols, the sun, the stars, fire or fellow creatures. It calls upon us to worship the One True God, the true Lord, the One who is to be worshiped and prostrated to, the Sought. [Ma'bud & Masjud & Maqsud]

The state based on Divine Law, & Surrender to God, therefore must strive to establish a social order free of all kinds of Evil: intoxicants, theft, adultery, deceit, subterfuge, deviousness, perversion, hatred and tyranny. Rather such a state inculcates in people Divine attributes like forgiveness, mercy, truthfulness, affection, and the spirit of sacrifice. It is only then a person is transformed to an able and deserving Khalifa [representative] of God on earth... and God's claim n the Qur'an "I have made Man a representative on Earth" is fulfilled.


The Ideological Frontiers of Pakistan
Pakistan's ideological frontiers, like those of Medinat un Nabi transcend it's geographical boundaries. Undoubtedly the ideology of Pakistan is nothing but the ideology of Islam. The objectives of creating Pakistan have been derived from the universal and eternal message of the Surrender to God: Islam.

Pakistan has therefore been created to banish Falsehood and establish Truth. The Holy Prophet [peace be upon him], salvaged a world sunk in unfaithfulness, worship of false gods, and tyranny. He enlightened an ignorant humanity after countless sacrifices and tribulations. His mission was carried forward by true adherents of his Tradition [the Sufis].

The Muslims have to now rid this world of the Evil & misdeeds prevalent- and the present generation of Pakistan especially must accept this mission.


In order to truly understand the import of the creation of Pakistan, we must cast a look back at the world of the 19th century, when the enslaved humanity of Asia, Africa & South America groaned under the oppressive colonial regimes of Europe.


The Muslims of the sub-continent were the subjects of a powerful British Empire, on which 'the sun never set.' Likewise Muslims elsewhere were also under one or another European colonial master.

These Western colonialists tried to weaken Muslims

They tried to weaken the from within by attempting to corrupt them & their Faith [the glue which binds Muslims together and hence makes them a threat-GreenSufi].

They chose the Holy Qur'an and the personality of the Holy Prophet [peace be upon him] as the prime target of their machinations, condemnation, criticism and aspersions.

The Muslims could do nothing to their arrogant rulers, as they were weak and helpless. It was as if Evil had cloaked the entire world in darkness. Whenever any Muslim dared rebel against his master, he was ruthlessly persecuted and made an example.

But the Muslims never gave up: they continued their struggle in without caring much about the consequences. Some of the valiant Muslims who rose to challenge their cruel Colonial overlords included Syed Jamaluddin Afghani, Shah Waliullah's family, Syed Ahmed Shaheed e Balakot, Hazrat Hajji Imdadullah Muhajir Makki, Shaykh ul Hind Mufti Mehmoodul Hasan the prisoner of Malta, Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi of the Silken Handkerchief movement, Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar & Maulana Shoukat Ali, [plus poets like Maulana Hasrat Mohani, Allama Iqbal] etc., may God elevate their station.

They struggled, they sacrificed themselves, and it seemed they failed- but LORD Almighty never lets sacrifice go unrewarded. They had done their job. They had awakened and jolted the masses out of their deep slumber. They had initiated a movement, which when led by a visionary leader like Muhammad Ali Jinnah forced the combined opposition of the British & the Hindus to give in & accept the creation of Pakistan.


The creation of Pakistan is therefore not a fortuitous happening, or an accident of history. It is rather Divine reward for the centuries of sacrifice, toil and tribulation of the Mujahideen of Islam. Those visionary leaders [like Shah Waliullah] had sensed that the decline of Mughal and eventually Ottoman empires would spell disaster for Muslims and their future would be absolutely dark. The Muslims had to be rescued and an ideological state like Pakistan was a dire necessity of the time, and the right answer to the prayers of millions of oppressed people in general and Muslims in particular.


Hence, one can only pity those who refuse o accept the founders of Pakistan as Muslims, or those who say that the creation of Pakistan was, God-forbid, the greatest sin. Still worse, they continue to live in Pakistan and meddle in its affairs. Had their conscience been alive and their hearts blessed with discernment of truth, they would have migrated to India and joined the Hindus whom they supported their whole lives and whom they hold in high esteem even now."

Another effort in the "Sab se pehlay Pakistan" campaign.

I really don't understand the Claim that Pakistan is the only country in the world created for Islam. Don't understand this Claim!

Can someone explain please?
