Asalam o alikum
This
September began with the tragic news that in Karachi a tenth grade student shot
his girl classmate and later committed suicide. This news should not only be a
shock for the authorities of Pakistan, scholars, teachers and NGOs, but a major
challenge for all of them as well.
Such
ultimatums for the Pakistani society are increasingly sagging. The question to
ask is, that have the teachers have failed in the deliverance of morals or the
scholars and jurists have forgotten their roles? Care of the authorities has
been limited to general sales taxes and their payments and parents are forced
to work harder and harder, fulfilling material requirements, oblivious of
ethical responsibilities towards their children, Who should be held answerable?
This
incident is suicidal for our entire generation which unfortunately has such a
state of mind with no intellectual reflection. No one cares who dies or where,
all spies is the way they died, they loved each other and could not imagine in
their tiny innocent wild imaginations their lives without each other. For a few
days it will buzz over the ears of the people looking for excitement and
thrill, media will upgrade its ratings and then it will be buried forever in
the deep grave of social neglect.
(Letters allegedly written by the boy and girl for their parents before committing suicide)
To reach the
root of such silent human disasters is not that difficult, the point of issue
in this case is to usurp the human rights with attention and care within the
society. Responsible institutes are continuously a skewing from realizing the
unfeigned awareness of morality in the society. Nobody is there to ask, Is a
teacher is merely appointed in schools
and other educational institutes to make students to memorize lessons, prepare
for exams and, some twigs of verbal knowledge are beings sung for entertainment,
Is this it?
Why there is
no strict check on teachers who are neglecting their responsibility regarding
moral status of the school or institutes? Children must be taught what they
are? Human or any other species? They must be taught why there are given this
life? They must know why they are walking over the face of the earth? They
should know that they are Muslims. They have some obligations as being one.
They must be aware of life as a greatest gift of ALLAH and they should be
thankful to HIM.
No one with
strong hand and power seems to see it.
With apologies, even scholars and jurists are not paying even a
slightest attention towards this declining state of social values. Indeed
parents are accountable too, as house is place from where the seed of human
nature springs about with training and instructions. Yes it s undeniable that
this life is bitter for everyone in one way or another, recent economic
problems have broken backbone of many families, but even then parents must try
to teach the lessons of life which parents themselves had learnt from their
life experiences so that a child at least knows the difference between good and
bad.
What is in
the child's character? How is it possible that the boy and girl are so close in
this age, what was that kid taught in co- educational system and what would
have been his future in colleges and universities? Awareness of values, norms
is crucial for the developing societies, our children must learn to arrive at
the right and practical conclusions rather than emotional hasty decisions.
( Facebook profile screenshot of the boy. with his alleged message “Tomorrow I will die” also appears on his page. And the screenshot of the Facebook profile of the girl — is a photograph of Indian actors Emran Hashmi and Vidya Balan from the recent film ‘Humari Adhuri Kahani’)
I am
directly speaking to the government to look at each case. The culture
ministries in the government regularly inspect issues of this kind. There
should be prohibition of culture which is unhealthy and abusive to our Islamic
and human values. It is a fact vulgarity of any kind never belongs to any
ethical culture, then why our youth is being misled by false figments of
ignorant and base passions, wherever such abusive industry is being imported
from, establishment of Islamic republic of Pakistan must take practical
incentives to ban this smuggling of immorality.
The authorities are being asked for a little attention
towards the cultural invasion that resulted in our homes, what message is
coming through driven films? What kinds of films are being shown on screens in
our own country? I fear that if we do not wake up today, then tomorrow we will
be seeing the same breaking news with a new story.
Think…
Decide…
Understand our Priorities
What we are giving to our Next Generation..???
