25 Dec. every year make people happy across the world. Christmas make Christians happy as its their religious festival and liberals for their broadmindedness and habit of celebrating almost every event irrespective of religion and country. I think that's the effect of global world kind of philosophies.
Pakistani nation also celebrate this day for its national importance that the founder caravan of Pakistan was led by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah - the man whose birth made this date special and important for Pakistan. But the continues efforts of "some powers" have been succeed to achieve the goal.
A time was there when people tell the stories of their great Quaid to their kids to celebrate the day, so the generation knew about the sacrifice their ancestors made to get a free country for them to practice the Islamic teachings without any restriction. But today's age is so fast and surrounded by technology, that people don't have time for their kids. Sending them to schools and couching centers seems to be their only responsibility in the name of education. The kids are even confused about the date that is 25th Dec is birth or death anniversary of Quaid-eAzam. They don't know anything about his life and the worst thing is they themselves are not interested in knowing about their legendary leader.
A survey reports that Kids always need heroes to make their mentor and follow them, so Europe on this account despite all of their differences came together and made heroes for them. They changed names of Muslim legends, scientists, scholars and all the other Muslim entities into their language despite the fact that names remains same in every language i-e "Jibraeel" changed to Gabriel, "Yaqoob" changed to Jacob, "Arastoo" changed to Aristotle
They wanted to make heroes of their own from history, but when they didn't got enough they portrayed bad men as the good ones i-e killer of millions of people made "Alexander - The Great"
Its point to think that if kids need heroes and if we are not fulfilling this need ... who is doing it for Muslims and Pakistani children? Look around, analyze the media, check the syllabus books of your kids, and specially behaviors of your kids and youth. They are not happy about their leader birth anniversary - they are happy for getting a holiday. They don't know about their leader's life but they know everything about the showbiz personalities, they are confused about the birth and death dates of leaders but they know its Christmas on 25 Dec.
Muslim children, youth and even elders are greeting everyone for Christmas to make fun for time being but very few remembered that its birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam. Much fewer told the stories of his life to their kids and make them feel that its not only Christmas today.
I want to say "Happy Birthday my Quaid" and I hope that one day the whole nation will say you that again and remember you as the mentor and hero, and know every part of your life, and follow you again.
I wish that one day come soon.
