Comment

Our little dreamer of a Prime Minister Imran Khan has been feeding this nation with ifs and buts since he took office. Imran Khan and his policies are the very reason of flourishing poverty in Pakistan. From bread to medicine, he has taken everything out of people’s affordability and now he has expressed his eagerness to follow Chinese model. This is the same man who first claimed to have State of Madinah as his model. Isn’t it enough of an example to show his cluelessness about the task he has been assigned to perform. Probably the recently surfaced videos of blindfolded handcuffed people of Xingjiang have deeply impressed Imran Khan. An estimated 1-2 million people in Xinjiang, most of them Uighur Muslims, are held in detention camps that are designed to erase the Uighur identity and instill fear and obedience to the Communist party. God forbid if he is fantasizing to implement the one child policy of China as he has been cruel towards common people as he fails to understand their needs. For him people of Pakistan are no more than a cadaver to be experimented upon.

Imran Khan as a candidate made big promises to fix Pakistan’s economy and that is the very area he has failed miserably in. The country’s currency has lost 35% of its value in just one year. He also promised not to take any foreign loans and has broken all previous Government records by borrowing $16bn in one year. He also takes pride in being called a master of U-turns. This desire of following the Chinese model may be another of his U-turns. What he does not understand is that we as Muslims are supposed to be “The Model”. We can never be successful as long as we keep trying following other ideologies.

Muslims of Pakistan need to realize that having Imran Khan as a leader is like being driven by a man who has no control over the vehicle and no idea of the route. It is time to give charge to a man who truly understands his job, of not just being a great leader but a great Muslim as well. Who knows that for a Muslim, keeping promises is very important and being a leader of Muslims is no job for a shallow-thinking selfish liar. A person who knows what the bases of the state of Madinah are and what are the rights of people living under it. A person, who, instead of worshipping his owns self, tries his hardest to achieve Allah’s pleasure even if it costs him his life. We the Ummah of the Holy Prophet (saw) are in dire need of a Khaleefah who will truly lead us on the right path of glory inshaallah.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

«مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثَةٌ، وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ، إِذَا حَدَّث كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ»

“Among the signs of a hypocrite are three, even if he fasts and prays and claims to be a Muslim: when he speaks he lies, when he gives a promise he breaks it, and when he is trusted he betrays.” [Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 33, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 59]
