Essay On Our National Ideology.It is said that Pakistan is an ideological State or that it is founded on Islam. But most of us. especially the youngmen, do not fully understand the principles and objects which lie behind this claim. In the minds of a larger number of young Pakistanis, there exist only a vague notion of what their elders mean by the Ideology of Pakistan. There are three principles of our national ideology.
The first principle of the Ideology of Pakistan is that for Pakistanis Islam is their "nationalism" as well as "patriotism". The people of Pakistan come of different races; they speak different languages; they live in geographical territories which are not contiguous. The foundations of this state, therefore, could not be laid on race, language and territory. The real factor that is common is Islam.
The Quaid-e-Azam said: -Whatever else you may be and whatever, you are a Muslim. You belong to a nation now, you have now carved out a territory, it is all yours! it does not belong to a Punjabi, or a Sindhi. or a Pathan, or a Bengali: it is yours." Hence the basis of nationhood in Pakistan is Islam. We do not believe in idolatrous patriotism.
We do not believe in worshipping the geographical features of a country called Pakistan. But we are ready to lay down our lives for the principles of Islam. Hence Islam is our -Patrioti The second principle of the Ideology of Pakistan is that for Pakistanis Islam is their "secularism" and "Constiutionalism". Pakistan is not a ''theocratic" State because Islam is essentially a polity.
The Quaid-e-Azam explained this point when he proclaimed. "Make no mistake: Pakistan is not a theocracy or anything like it. Islam demands from us the tolerance of other creeds." Again he said: You are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan". Then Islam is a Din a body of principles, which are for universal application. As explained by our Great Leader: -Brotherhood, equality and fraternity of man -- these are all the basic points of our religion, culture and civilization. And we fought for Pakistan because there was a danger or denial of these human-rights in this sub-continent.
The third principle of the ideology of Pakistan is that for Pakistanis Islam is their "socialism": Islam has its own economic system. The object of Islam is to establish a balanced economic order. It ensures that no individual can exploit another. It rejects both capitalism and socialism as two extremist viewpoints. The Quaid-e-Azam proclaimed on 1st July, 1948; "We must work out our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concepts of eqtiality of man, and social justice.
" The object of the economic teachings of Quran is twofold, to provide facilities for the poors so that they could achieve the living standard of the middle class, and to impose restrictions on the rich people so that they may not step beyond the middle class. This gives birth to a good society based on mutual lo ve and co-operation.
