Hazrat Umar bin Abdul-Aziz (rehmatullah-alaih), who as also known as Umar the 2nd (first being Hazrat Umar raziallaho-anho, the second Khalifa of muslims) due to his extreme justice and piety, he was asked why you don't rule us like Hazrat Umar used to do? He replied, give me people like Hazrat Umar had, i'll rule them like him.
this is a very fundamental principle of governance. i was personally a big admirer of Imran Khan, but his language, his demeanor, and his extremely accusative language has put me off completely. with this much corruption, when the people and state of affairs are in so much bad shape, you have to take things slowly.
it took decades of hard and ground work for ikhwan-ul-muslimeen to come to power, only to loose everything by taking things too fast.
it took decardes of hard work in turkey for the current party to come to power, and even then it took them years before they put their hand on the most corrupt, including their all powerful army. I believe their situation is very much like Pakistan.
Imran's manners, language, complete disrespect for others are huge barriers. He says 'oye nawaz'; Nawaz sharif replies with 'Mohtaram Imran Khan'. i don't care how bad you think your opponent is. if you claim to be the harbor of change, you must show that first; your followers must show that. PTI people have shown to have the least patience, worst possible language, and worst possible character. every one who does not agree with Imran has been removed. i have yet to see more extreme and rigid personality in politics.
the movement that claims to be the bearer of insaaf/justice, are hell bent on doing the worst injustice to a sitting prime minister, who is guaranteeing his resignation if charges are proven. He is agreed to all other demands. how do you claim to do justice when your start is with such an injustice? Other is meeting you more than half way, and you are unwilling to take one step forward?
Rasoolullah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) has said that one whose ikhlaq is not good, is not from among us. why Allah Ta'ala will change our condition when we refuse to even introspect ourselves, show our worst possible character, and demonize who don't agree with us.
May Allah Ta'ala give all of us hidayat, give us tawfeeq to pray to him and look towards Him for all our needs, so He may change our condition.
