Pakistan was established a separate country for Muslims where they could live in peace and harmony. But, Pakistan today is not what it was dreamed of to be.
We can’t trust anybody and there is no more honesty in any thing. The rich have indulged in the luxuries of life and are increasing their bank accounts while the poverty is killing the poor. The difference between upper and lower classes has increased so much that it will take decades to bring them at an equal level.
Basic Islamic practices, such as zakat have been forgotten. It had been made necessary for all people to pay a certain amount of saving as zakat but no one cares about it anymore. Instead, we have established an interst system, which is against Islamic rules.
There should be a system where certain amount of cash could be given to poor people on monthly basis, taken out from rich peoples’ salary in the form of a special tax.
