Independence and freedom is one of the biggest blessing of God and no one can understand and realize its importance and significance other than those people who are kept away from this blessing. Pakistan is one of those sanctified countries in the world who have enlisted their names in the list of independent countries.
Freedom is the blessing of Allah and when it is in the form of an ideological state like Pakistan, then the blessing is a special endowment. Pakistan is no ordinary piece of land, it is sacred and it is founded upon the sacrifice and faith of Muslims. Spiritual support made it possible that against all odds Pakistan was created. Allah’s special blessings are the reason Pakistan stands today despite the relentless attempts of our enemies to undermine or even destroy it.
Pakistan is also called the second Madina because its creation followed the same pattern that was recorded in history when our beloved Prophet (PBOH) established a Muslim state in Madina; at that time Muslims migrated from Mecca, and in 1947 Muslims migrated from India.
Pakistan was created on the night of 27 Ramadhan. These are not coincidental but there are clear signs of a Divine plan. Jinnah thanked Providence when Pakistan was created. He knew very well that it was Divine power that made this country and that is also why he said, “ No power on Earth can undo Pakistan”.
Freedom leads to enhance expression of creativity and original thought, increased productivity, and overall high quality of life. The word freedom has a great depth of meaning. Death is the start of a mission and ends an endless life.
The freedom movement is the great motive that became the cause of Tahreek e Pakistan. To get freedom, the Muslims of India broke the chains of slavery and got their goal of Pakistan in a short period.
The creation of Pakistan was a unique occurrence in history. The circumstances were not in favour of the Muslim community but with courage, and faith, the downtrodden Muslims residing in the subcontinent were successful in actualizing their dreams of freedom.
In 1906, the All India Muslim League was founded and on October 1 of the same year, the first delegation of 36 Muslim leaders presented their demand to the Viceroy of India at Shimla for a separate state for Muslims. Finally, the great subcontinent of British India was partitioned into two countries of India and Pakistan on August 14, 1947.Concluding more, The long history of Pakistan, since its independence, is replete with ups and down. Therefore, there is a strict need of working hard day and night for the glory, supremacy, and success of Pakistan. As Quaid e Azam said, “ With faith, discipline, and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve”.
