Who should do it...?

Who should do it…………………?
By Zakir Hussain Shams

With reference to respected Sir Malik Siraj Akbar’s article “How Panjgur is losing the battle” (Friday, September 25, 2009); In the Panjguri society, the positive social change has begun to reverse. And the language centers have started teaching the translation short Quranic verses, the six Kalimas and the religious prayers.

According to me, with my least power of understanding, this is the positive change which has now begun in the society that we Muslims will know the fundamentals of Islam. So if the language centers have started teaching them along with the New American Streamline textbook, what is bad?

After all we are Muslims and we need to learn the language of the English not their actions. They have formed “Perverted images” and “filthy words” in their textbooks and we as Muslims must condemn and reform them. They are notorious non-Muslims, salacious and nudist but we are not. As Muslims we can not ridicule Islam the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and it is our primary duty to condemn those who ridicule our religion.

The enemies of Islam are making movies against the teachings of the Holy Quran, even they have urinated on the pages of our sacred book, the Holy Quran and we must make healthy criticism on such acts but unfortunately we do not possess real knowledge of Quran and Sunnah. Our knowledge about religion is based on what we have heard from others or read in some books. We need to edify ourselves and follow the footsteps of the Prophet of Islam, the benefactor for the entire humanity, Muhammad (SAW).

To the next points of sir’s article, Turbat is home to more bookshops, libraries, academies, non-governmental organization, community-based organization and educational institutions. They all are because of the collectively struggle of the people of Turbat. They have handful of good educated souls and they are leading the society to a successful future. We can take the example of the single individual whose struggle opened a branch of Baluchistan University in the district.

We also have a large number of well-known individuals, who have risen to the top positions but they are doing nothing for the progress of the society. We had and still have a thumping majority of good educated personalities and politicians but they don’t want the betterment of the society and we remain deprived of good education which is the chief defense of the nation. Instead of standing together in the struggle for the betterment, they are struggling for sake of their own petty selfish interests who, in my understanding, will lead Panjgurian to a life worse than death. They themselves have sent their children, brothers and sisters out of town for better education to explore their lives for better future. And they don’t care for others; nobody asks them why they don’t apply affective policies?




The language centers which are which are trying their level best to make the students ready to face the global challenges and also as Muslims, are trying to aware them that there is God, the creator to whom we have to return. And there is a resurrection day, in which all the dead people will become alive again for judgment and a world next called “Akhirat”.

But instead of appreciating the language centers which have a little contribution in making the Muslim Ummah ready for the Day of Judgment, the masterminds and the masters of pens are condemning them like ignorant.

The writers who can rule the hearts and the minds of people and can bring complete changes by the power of their pens. As, in short we can take the example of the French poets, columnists and writers who brought a major change in the history of the world and are still known and admired for their task.

We have great hopes that our writers, columnists and journalists will play a magnificent positive role, lighten the name of Islam and blow up new educated souls to the society.

It is clear more concerned efforts are required to do it.
