I am convinced that there are many areas where
participation by the people of Pakistan is of paramount importance i.e.
in the field of health, pure water supply, prevention of diseases, prevention
of mental and physical handicap and above all in the provision of clean
and healthy environment. If we could spread the awareness and play our
part as individuals and as groups in making our country clean and tidy,
we would eliminate many diseases that cripple our children for life, send
our promising young to early death, kill many in the prime of life and
make the glorious days of our elders a miserable existence. We must motivate
people to work together in this filed for their own good health and for
the future generations.
There
is another aspect, which saddens my heart. It is the undisciplined way
we, behave generally and drive our cars and buses. I spare no one in this
respect, the educated the intelligent, the rich and the poor and specially
the bus and wagon drivers. Since my arrival in Pakistan I have refused
to drive beyond Islamabad on to the Murree road because I do not wish to
change my habits after 30 years.
It seems that ALLAH has proclaimed that the gates of heaven would be closed at a certain time and every body is in a hurry to reach there. Do they ever wonder that they sit and chat for hours in a leisurely manner but as soon as they sit on the drivers seat the time becomes very crucial. One may say that there are many countries in the world where traffic is as bad but we as Momins cannot take shelter behind others. We were taught the golden rule of patience, discipline and rights of others by the perfect and glorious teacher of all, the Quran and the Holy Prophet. I have enumerated Muhammad SWT above the main areas of concern, now I may be permitted to give some advice on these topics.
