The twin disasters, one after the other (ie, the avalanche in Siachen and the plane crash in Islamabad), has quite certainly shaken up the nation. These certainly are testing times, with the ongoing inflation issues and government and Supreme Court standoff, one can only but feel helpless.
Then again we as a nation should be wondering where did we go wrong or why such calamities have hit us one after another.
This is the question that I really want the Pakistani nation to ponder over. We are a Muslim state and our constitution is based on the supreme sovereignty of Allah. Allah is in control of all the processes of the universe and He is All Seeing and All Hearing. We are supposed to be His favoured nation, a nation He should only be showering Blessings over.
The big question that every one of us should be answering as a nation and individuals is: Is our Creator, our Sustainer not pleased with us? And if yes, why?
