The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Do not consider even the smallest kind of kindness insignificant, even if it were no more than meeting your brother with a smiling and cheerful face.” [Muslim]
Just Do
One Thing for Pakistan!
Pakistan is one amazing
country. It has enough scientific knowledge and technical know how to build
atomic bomb and ballistic missiles. At the same time, however, 51 million Pakistanis
have no access to essential medicine. 46 million adults cannot read and write.
One response to our amazingly
weak, yet strong, nation is to blame colonialism and criticize one or the other
government.
On the other hand there
are thousands of Pakistanis and hundreds of organizations who have decided not
to give up on improving life in Pakistan. Instead of waiting for some government
to do something, they work on changing things by themselves. "Allah does
not change the state of people unless they change what is within themselves"
Quran 13:11. These are the Pakistanis who are responsible for the privatization
of education in Pakistan.
We decided to come up with
55 ideas, which any one of us in America can adopt to serve Pakistan in our
individual capacity. It will be a small step, but still a step in the right
direction.
