@ Saira

Thanks for your words dear.

Here goes the next Paragraph

7th Paragraph


We all wish to change the structure of existing society, and usher in a Muslim society – one where there is equality and the fullest freedom – as early as possible. The problem is, how are we to build such a one in our country? Had Jinnah been here, he would have shown us the way. Under his inspiration we worked and fought for our independence. When we achieved freedom his disciples became the Government of the country and from that time I was considering whether it was possible to set up a society of Jinnah’s conception by legislation or through political power and leadership.

After independence the whole country looked to Lahore for action. I do not know how many believe that the State Government is capable of establishing a Muslim society. For myself, as the years passed I became more and more convinced that looking to Lahore was not Jinnah’s way. In Lahore we observe the normal processes of Parliamentary democracy: there is a ruling party, there is an Opposition, there are elections, there is a ruling party, there is an opposition, there are elections, there is a rule of the majority, and all the rest. But the people have realized that through the administrative machinery and by legislative enactments we cannot create the society of our dreams. No doubt state action can create a socialist society; it cannot make real the ideal of Muslims on earth.

The question remains, how is a Muslim Society to be brought about.

Untill independence we all used to swear by a constructive programme. Thereafter such work receded to the background. In consequence constructive workers thought that they would not rely on the Government but carry out items like spinning by themselves. But no worker believed in his heart that by such activity society would be transformed. Instances may be found for the implementation of spinning in villages, but that has not made for a jot of change in their social structure. Naturally therefore, there has been uncertainly and disillusionment and the problem persist for the constructive worker. Views have been put forward, but ideas are not yet clear. There are people in the administration who profess that they are loyal to the Muslim principle; but they also, apparently, are unable to do much to make it actual fact.

That we mush bring into existence a new society based on Muslims or the welfare of all alike has long been my faith. But I was long feeling my way to that goal, and the way became clear to me only as the Muslim movement grew. At long last a being a Muslim I decided to quit politics and devote myself to this movement. I believe that all persons who subscribe to the Muslim creed should enroll themselves in Muslim as the surest and speediest means to that end.
