Future of Pakistan is in rags...


Today while going university few little children who were selling tissue papers caught my attention.I daily notice them though,but today i got a chance to observe them long.They all are under seven years of age and they have only one work to do i.e.. To sell more and more tissue packs.Since early morning till late at night these little innocent children work hard to earn their livelihood.

Everyone can notice the sudden flash of  brightness, hope and happiness in their eyes and the innocent smile which plays on their lips whenever any bus full of girls arrives as it can be the best option to get a great no.of customers.They enter in the bus happily,few starts jumping everywhere whereas few get busy in convincing their customers to buy tissue packs from them.I can not forget those cute little hands joined together as if begging,bare-feet,disheveled hairs,dressed in rags bodies and the eyes full of questions staring at me..upon looking at them i feel a rush of disappointment and hopelessness inside me as I'm unable to answer the hidden questions of their eyes..I wish i could buy all of the tissue packs from each and every child and  could be the reason of the smile which would dance on their sweet pink lips.

Among them i personally adore one baby girl.She has big hazel eyes and her lips are always decorated with a sweet naughty smile.The thing which makes her different from her fellow friends is her sense of responsibility and the trust her parents may have on her.I never found her wasting time by playing with her friends in soil.she never throws coin in air and never laughs as the coin comes down.It seems as if she has some target fix for the day.She just try to sell her tissues and her smile increases her daily sale!I buy a tissue pack from her almost daily and i have several packs now,enough for many months for me.Now, she comes to me daily first with a wide smile which shows her teeth as if she is sure that i'll buy one from her.But, one thing making me scared that what will i do tomorrow.I get very limited pocket money and now i have nothing left to spend more on tissues...

I just wonder that if we all regulate our money in the form of zakat and our country really becomes the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN then no child will be deprived of his basic rights.These are the children who will grow up in the form of tomorrow's youth, who have to run the country, but unfortunately future of Pakistan is in rags,unluckily they are unable to get even two meals per day..
54% of inflation rise since MR.Zardari  has arrived, pushing more and more people below poverty line per month, but Mr.President is busy in preparing bullet-proof expensive doors for his three private residences.
I just want to give a message to Mr.President that no matter how much you try to save yourself from Death,but Allah has fixed a time for it and it is a must-come.Your wife also died in a bullet-proof jeep! Please think over it!
Think about your country men,about whom you'll be asked on the day of judgment!!
May Allah save Pakistan before it is completely destroyed.Amin.
