"Unity without verity [truth] is no better than conspiracy"
The views of Allama Mrs Shabbir Naqvi, the preacher at 10-Area Imambargah as well as the Principal of Zarghona College, Wah Cantt
According to her the sectarian harmony could be brought through negotiations but to some extent. We should not discuss those matters which can only result in disputes. We should LIVE AND LET OTHERS LIVE TOO. Pakistan is the state of multi-cultured sects. The two main sects of Muslims are the Sunnis and Shiites. We now have several sub sects like Sipah-e-Mohammadi, Barelvi, Deobani, Wahabi, Sipah-e-Sahaba and many more. These sects are in open conflict most of the time. For example, some people think that the Shiites are non Muslims. They don’t ponder on this fact that they are also the believers and followers of Hazrat Mohammad PBUH. They are those people who have tried to keep the mighty sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain AS alive; it was the sacrifice which was for the restoration of Islam and for all Humanity. But some people disagree with it and they believe that those people are blessed who kill Shiites. The point is that some extremist and aggressive people are present in both these sects as well as in other religions. They try to add fuel to fire by guiding people on the wrong path. Here we can see bomb blasts everywhere especially in the mosques. Why is it so? Whether it is a Chapel, a Mosque or a Temple, God is present everywhere. The point is that the Muslims in Pakistan are in majority and there are also minorities. So we should not only root out the wrong conceptions amongst the Muslims but we should also show respect to other religions as well.
These days not only in the matter of religious beliefs but also in the political believes people oppose each other violently. Sad to say that Pakistan is not a pure state anymore because of such unjust and cruel people who are fed up of their lives and they throw their lives in suicide bombings and also take the lives of millions of innocent people. Our leaders and Government are also involved in the corruption cases. Just for the sake of gaining power they can slaughter others. The leaders only provide benefits to the area to which they belong. Due to this the unity of our provinces is gone. They are demanding for a separate nation and want to be free and independent. Besides this our education system is also in rags. Admissions are not given to the deserved students on merit. Admissions and jobs are given to those who are recommended through bribery even when they got lowest percentage.
The balance is totally missing in the state which can only be brought back through ACCEPTANCE and FLEXIBILITY. All the people, no matter what they believe, and no matter whatsoever their religion is, they are all Pakistanis and belong to one state. They should either forget about the prevailing differences or not discuss them. As we worship our religions we should also worship our holy motherland. According to her the solution of all these problems is in the lesson of
Quaid-e-Azam that is UNITY, FAITH AND DISCIPLINE. If we all love our motherland and become sincere to it then there is a chance for the betterment of the country. Bribery, corruption, extremism, inflexibility and black marketing should be eliminated. We can only bring sectarian harmony in Pakistan by joining hands together and re-model our lives in religious, political, social, moral and economic backgrounds.
To conclude we should think that Pakistan is our religion, our belief, our heart, our soul, our belief, our tradition, our province and are Mother. As it is said,
“He who experiences the unity of life sees his own self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.”
