power anybody?

The current political situation in Pakistan has made me realize [ well i realised it a while back - but anyways] – basically the stupidity of Pakistani leaders – who's first identity is being a Muslim. They are vying for power. Constant blood shed – flinging mud at each other and committing atrocities in the name of the Pakistani citizen's welfare. Promises being made – that we all know will never come true. Do these individuals ever pause and reflect? We know not. If they did – am sure their actions would have been quite different.

Do they realize the power they are vying for – what it really means?
To be responsible for each and every individual under their rule? On the day of qiyamah – will they be able to answer for each and every individual who was slighted against in the least bit?. If he/ she robbed? Why? What did the leader do? Why didn’t the poor people have enough to eat? To feed their kids? these so called leaders do not realize the magnitude of their responsibility – if they did – im sure they wouldn’t resort to murders to get what they want. A single anwar al awlaki lecture on omer ibn khattabs life or abu bakrs would’ve painted a clearer picture maybe. But do they really care? a quick look at pakistan - four major regions - Sindh - Balochistan - NWFP and Punjab. Population :roughly 150 million. hmmm- dear leaders hows that for questioning? do you have the morality and righteousness in you to stand up to such a tough questioning by the Almighty? i think not.

Omar ibn khattab did not want his son to become a khalifah after him – he simply stated –'it is enough that I will be questioned about everyone's welfare under my rule.' The fear of standing in front of Allah and being answerable was so great that he did not want his son to be a ruler after him. when he found out that a woman did not have enough flour in her house to cook - he took the sack on his back and hurriedly carried it to her house - when his servant asked him to take the load from him - Omar replied ' on the day of judgement will you carry the load of my sins for me?'

Sometimes when I read the news – about nawaz sharif fighting with musharraf – etc etc..i just find it funny in a sad way. These people have no idea what awaits them. Look at it in this extremely simplistic way – they spend their lives fighting behind this power- that’s nearly 20 – 30 years of their life gone – sometimes they rule some times they don’t – deduct another 5 years or so – then theyre out of power but they have their own little pawn games and power struggles. They at most have another 10- 20 years left of their lives. So basically they live in sin – by bribing – looting – murdering – eating , living and earning haram. Then, they die.

They leave people behind – who curse them . the ones they have made happy – well I don’t know how much it really counts because the reason usually is to gain popularity and media attention –mostly to divert the media and public from some other atrocity that they have committed. the way I see it – its hard enough to try and not wrong others living a simple life, and then you have these people – who want to rule. Nothing wrong in wanting to rule either. But why cant they follow the guidelines set by the Prophet Muhammed PBUH , Abu bakr siddiuq R.A or Omar ibn Khattab? Why do they have to commit atrocities to rule? If prior to rule they cant set a good example – can you just imagine the guide lines they follow during the rule?

well musharraf benazir and the rest. all the best - you ahve no idea what youre getting into. not by along shot.

May Allah guide us all on he right path. Ameen
