Revise History (Wasim Abbas) Winston Churchill once said 'study history. In history lies all secrets of statecraft'.

In Islamic 'Ghazwa-e-Khanduk' is one of the remarkable battles fought by Islamic forces under the guidance of the Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H). Trench around 'Madina' made the attack a hard nut to crack for the Arabs and their allies. However a tribe 'Bannu Qurayza' did hypocrisy by breaking agreement with the Muslims. According to this agreement if any tribe or army launch attack on 'Madina', every one will oppose and resist aggression without considering religion, caste or even creed. Bannu Qurayza was punished by the Muslims and their men were killed, ladies and children were taken as slaves. According to Islamic history in the period of 3rd caliph of Islam Hazrat Usman(R.A), a man 'Abdullah Bin Subah' from the 'Bannu Qurayza' tribe came to 'Madina' and pretended to embrace Islam. 'Abdullah Bin Subah' observed growth of the Islamic state keenly and he concluded that unity is the foremost reason behind all the achievements of the Muslims. Since then he did every single thing on the sly he can do to break the bonds between the Muslims. He along with his followers were successful in their evil plans. Their success can be well imagined that in the regimes of 'Hazrat Usman(R.A)' and 'Hazrat Ali(R.A)', the Muslim government could flourish as it was flourishing in the past. That was a glimpse of our history, even if we just go few centuries back, quite similar phenomenon can be observed. 'Tipu Sultan' and 'Nawab Siraj' were defeated merely due to their own people. Their commanders and companions broke all bonds of unity merely for the sake of personal gains. In other words strength of the Muslims lies in the grace of Almighty Allah and then unity among themselves. Around the globe especially after the recent worldwide recession, in most of the Islamic states situations went deadly wrong. In Egypt, Syria and Libya people are fighting against each other and authority of the states is being challenged. Iraq and Afghanistan were already under direct war and Pakistan is facing a 4th generation war. Rest of the world creating opinions about these riots on the basis of information available in current day fourth estate, in the headlines of news channels and then social media. With available information its really hard to reach and understand the reasons behind these riots? News channels are broadcasting fights, attacks and troubles but no significant clues for the reasons and solutions the whole scenarios. Answers to the questions like, why protests and riots are there only in Islamic countries? Why these conflicts are being amplified?, are hard to find out. In all these states, few people might have conflicts with their governments but current situations can never arise merely due to these conflicts. Individuals of these states and especially statesmen of these countries should understand words of Churchill and must revise chapters of the Islamic history. the Muslims will have to find out today's 'Abdullah Bin Subah'. Our survival is directly related to the grace of Allah and answer to the question, 'Are we being destroyed by Abdullah bin Sabah's ideology? At last but not least Islamic Republic of Pakistan is being destroyed due to lack of the same unity factor. 'Divide and Rule' principle is destroying the whole nation. Today people in Pakistan are fighting on the basis of region. Followers of different schools of thoughts are killing each other. Moral of the forces is declining to dangerous levels. Policies adopted by Pakistani governments made few people especially from 'Khyber Pakhton Khwa' province against the state. Pakistan forces were not being deployed on borders in these areas. The 'Pakhtons' were defending Pakistani boundaries at their own and that shows their loyalty to Pakistan. So called 'Jehadis' started to migrate towards these areas since Russian Afgahn war. Brave and extremely hospitable 'Pak

Pakhtoons' were exploited by these 'Khwarij' on the basis of religion and few cultural similarities with the Afghanis. 'Baluchistan' very beautiful and area of extreme geographic importance, the Pakistanis from Baluchistan were playing crucial part in country's development since 1947. The whole nation is enjoying natural resources of this part of Pakistan. Unfortunately for the last few years people from these areas are being exploited especially by one of neighbouring countries. Lack of unity has destroyed 'Gharib Ki Maa' the poor's mother Karachi. People from all over Pakistan gives this city the status of economic hub of Pakistan. Peace in the city of lights have been destroyed on the basis of same linguistic, regional and religious issues. Though rest of the regions in Pakistan are facing similar issues but intensity is high in above mentioned areas. we have to admit enemies of Pakistan can never bring all these issues at their own, here they take support from Pakistani 'Abdullah Bin Subah'. From a politician to common Pakistani, any one teaching any difference to the people is responsible for current issues of Pakistan. To identify these hypocrites every Pakistani should revise history, we will have to understand and identify features of this ideology. Unity among the people is the first and foremost solution of present day problems in Pakistan. The Holy Quran teaches the same lesson in these words, 'And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided'.
