That!
We were told that a Muslim will always support another Muslim and in a perfect world this would be true. But we live in the reality and especially Pakistan should stop relying on other so called Muslim nations. States have no morale, they have no friends, they have no principles in general. They have interests! Check the history of mankind, how many different wars were fought? How the alliances changed over time? In 1856 the Ottomans won the Crimean War with England and France against Russia. 20 Years later France and England couldn't care less about the Russo-Turkish War of 1877. Shall I continue?
Governments hide behind Islam in order to control their people and to promote their good guy image in Islamic world. You want Muslim solidarity, you want change? Start with yourself, become a rich man, go educate yourself and try your best to be a good Muslim on the way to it. This will help us, not this entitlement mentality! The Ummah needs a strong Pakistan, because we are the only nation, that is build on this principle. Every other country has nationalist or royalist foundation.
Pakistan is not just a nation state, it's a state of mind! It's kind of a Megali Idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megali_Idea) for a great Islamic nation.
We don't need remittances from abroad, we have to change our mind! Pakistan has a big potencial to become a wealthy state. We have enough rescources, we are not that overcrowded like India and so on. I know so many Pakistani scientists and business owners (no, I don't mean restaurants or grocery stores...) here in Germany. If the environment is right, we can do everything with the help of Allah! Just create this environment in Pakistan and our nation will prosper. No need for Ummah Socialism or dependancy from foreign remittances!
Pakistan Zindabad!
Sincerely, does any modern state highlight foreign remittance as a national treasure in 2020 ? We do.
