That is very well stated.
I would also like to add the adage, "The pen is mightier than the sword." We've seen IK's clever use of social media to educate the nation, from youth to the elders, of the ills affecting the country overall. These things were only rarely read or studied in the past as they are now. A select few in society could afford access to information; usually, it was the upper class, while others sat around the dhaba, passing theories to make one stick eventually. Communication is critical, and he's utilized it to the fullest.
Our establishment ultimately failed in the Information Age. They couldn't control the narrative and were fact-checked by those with more wits, even when throwing things out. This shows how much of a separation of thought there is now.
To your point:
I was once sitting in an Islamic lecture, and the scholar said two things could get you into heaven, and the greatest of them all is the second and most challenging to control, and it was the tongue. The reason is that you use it for good and are granted success, or you use it for evil and suffer. Nawaz and their family never spoke a worth of truth, and it has haunted them now this life and the next, and they will continue suffering in the grave when they are spoken off. Men and women often forget you are remembered, good or bad, the way you go out, not in.
As for those who do evil, and it feels as though Allah doesn't care, this was a conversation I've had with my father many times, and he's always said, "Allah, let's the rope lose for these people to do more corruption." So I, too, like you asked, why it doesn't make sense? He told me, tumari or meri soch sa bar ha, wait Allah said to have patience.
Eventually, Allah shows after having patience, even after 30 years. They run away to London from where they were birthed (Pakistan), and zillat is closer to their jugular vein than Allah. He's taught in Canadian Medical Ethics Fraud Class; economists in Europe, where he's holed up, use him as an example of fraud. They or their nasal will not find peace above and below the soil. No matter how much his progeny wash, they will never get rid of that DNA; there is no bigger curse than that. May Allah protect anyone from breeding into that family.
Then Allah's lanat also shows on one's character or chera (face); look no further than Fazul Rehman. He's repugnant face-down, a badbakht insan you do not see the light of religion on his face; compare him to Tariq Jameel, Mufti Menk, and a few others, you feel enjoyment and could listen to them for hours. You look at his son, another soor ka pilla; you see him and would think twice about feeding your child from any haram income source.
