Question:
Salam, I watched a few lectures from Mawlana Shaykh Nazim in which he said Pakistan is all desert and he also said Quaid e azam hasn’t done anything for us, but there are sooo many Awlia Allah here in Pakistan, some alive some passed, they all said that Pakistan is the one who is going to lead muslim Ummah in future, Whats your take?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
What one wali sees another, at a lower level of mukashafa, may not see.
While Pakistanis around the world have been very active in establishing Islamic centers and mosques and Islamic schools for children, in Pakistan itself Sufism, which is the Heart of Islam, has become a thing attacked willy-nilly by all sorts of folk, from professors to street-sweepers and the maqams of awliyaullah have become the targets of Wahabi bombs. When such things occur, no good will be forthcoming, what to speak of leading the Muslims, or calling Pakistani “Medina ath-Thani” istaghfirullah! This is pure nationalism.
As Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani has repeatedly said, it would have been far better if the Muslims had remained in India. Instead our nation has split once already and is threatening now to dissolve completely in sectarian and fraternal violence.
and Allah knows best,
