Allah has created countless creatures in our world and
each creature has its unique characteristics.
Vast nations have come and gone in the world. But do you know what a nation's strength
depends on, and what a nation's true spirit is?
If
you look at the history of any nation, surely you will not find any nation that
developed by itself, rather you will discover that the power of a nation lies
in its civilization. Because people make nations, nations cannot make people. Perhaps, you are thinking that you already
know that the strength of a nation lies in its people. But, I am not writing just to tell you the
fact but to make you convinced and work for your nation.
Nations
need the struggles of civilizations to become everlasting and powerful. Thus,
we should all give our best to safeguard our nations from the worst and prepare them for the fairest consequences.
There
are hardly a few people who do not agree that the identity of a nation depends
on its people and its culture. In simple words, almost all of us know that a
country's real strength is its people. A
nation is what is created by its people and the identity of every human being
is his nationality. Dear readers, a
nation is recognized by everyone in the world. There are countless nations in
this world. Each of them has its own traditions, cultures, and languages too.
The stronger the people are, the stronger the countries and nations can be.
For example, if you get success today, don't think that this success is only yours. Your success belongs to everyone associated
with you. Islam reached us today because
of personalities like Prophet ï·º, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique, Umar, Ali, Usman (peace be
upon them), and a large list of people as well as because of Muslims like Ibn
Sina, Jabir bin Haiyan, and many more Islam is exalted, stimulated and science
is complete today because of their services.
My
readers, the power of defense of a nation depends on its people, sorry to
overuse the sentence but this is what I am writing for. Let me exemplify that
when a person makes a world record then other nations ask where is he from,
what is his country, then, people will say that he is from this country. Then people will start believing that yes, he is amazing and people will be
associated with the victor because of him and his title other nations will
start loving his country.
What
I mean to say is that if our country or nation is failing today, it is all our
fault. If we work hard instead of
fighting against each other, we will undoubtedly succeed in leading a better life
in our state for we should compete with the western countries, not on
battlefields but in the field of education and development, surely we can do
it. But, we all must have faith in ourselves, we should love our nations and
devote our lives to our country's honor and respect to gain a victory.
You
may have wondered that nations became successful through money but I think you
should change the way you think. I mean, no nation can get develop with
monetary, gold, diamond, and natural resources if there is no one to utilize
the things in a right and satisfactory way.
Let
us talk about Pakistan which is naturally rich but it is still among the
world's poorest countries. Do you know why? Yes! because the natural resources
which are found here are not that utilized. The rate of exports is much lesser
than imports. I do not mean that our resources are not being used and our
country folk is not able but what I mean is that they, our leaders, are not
what they should be.
Do
you know why Arab states are rich? Is mineral oil the only thing to make the
economy so strong? Absolutely no, because Arabs are disciplined, they work on
trade, the world's richest people prefer to live in UAE, they attract tourists
and the Arab states have good ties with the world's superpower, America
including other powerful states.
Let
me add more by asking why is Japan so powerful even after severe losses due to
the second world war? Because it knew that the only way to development is not
war but peace. It worked on its capital resources, by the time Japan produces
the world's best innovations be it mobile phones, batteries, etc.
Do
you still believe that a nation develops by itself? And you should not because
these are people who develop nations and uplift countries.
If
one wants to see our country more powerful, he must give his best to uplift the
nation individually. We should not wait for another to bring betterment to our
whole system instead we should do it by ourselves.
