Every particular section of the society has a specific role to play towards its wellbeing, prosperity and happiness. Looking at the present simmering environment of Pakistan, the role of religious scholars/Ulema of the country cannot be ruled out.
We find in our country everywhere terrorism, violence, religious extremism, ethnicity, suicide bombings, sectarianism, crimes, corruption, isolation of an individual from religion, greed, selfishness, etc. And, such state of affairs has created an atmosphere of suffocation in the country where everyone is ready to cut the throat of others for the realization of his nefarious objectives only.
In this state of affairs, it becomes the double duty of our religious scholars/Ulema to guide the nation in an unbiased manner both through their sermons and actions so that the people are able to take the right path in their lives and achieve their destined goals both for this world and the Hereafter.
I am sure if all the religious scholars/Ulema of the country get united and start playing their positive and sincere role without really falling prey to their petty interests, the nation would rise to the occasion and would follow the right path of moderation, peace, selflessness, contentment and above all fellow feelings for others.
