Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan on Friday said that change could not come in Pakistan without enforcing the injunctions of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah.
Addressing a Friday congregation at Mansoora, he referred to the Conquest of Makkah as a historic milestone of Islamic change in a society. He appealed to the people to pray for the Muslims of Kashmir, Afghanistan, Burma and Palestine.
He said that wars could not be won solely with weapons, and strong faith was also required. He used the examples of the battle of Badar and the Afghan jihad to stress his point. He also spoke at length about Islam being the religion of peace, which preaches tolerance for the followers of other faiths.
The JI chief also talked about the upcoming elections in the country. He mentioned the electricity crisis, the corruption and poverty in the country, and said that despite all these problems, the leaders were still expecting to get re-elected in the next elections.
