Pakistan - Land of the Pure or land of Shirk and Secularism?

Assalaamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,

Here is my latest country profile and the one I will most likely get emails from my friends about for being too unfair on their country, Yes it is time to take a look at Pakistan as a place to make Hijrah to.


So is Pakistan the land of the pure?

A place for true believers in Allah to go and establish the deen and please Allah?

This is one vision of Pakistan where Muslims are welcome to come, forbid the munkar in society and call people towards the good of monotheism and the Shariah.

But there has always been another vision of Pakistan since it's founding, of a secular Pakistan which is Muslim in name but far from Islamic.

These two contradictory aims, pulling at the Pakistanis from polar opposites are what make Pakistan such a good for Hijrah and at the same time such a bad one also.

So here is my country profile for Pakistan, feel free to comment, discuss or disagree if you like.

1. How easy is it to practice the deen, and to what level, how practicing are the people there.

Totally varied from place to place, though you can practice as much as you like, even travel in the path of Allah, but many of the people not practicing. There is also a brailwee majority, though these people are brailwee by default not conviction.

This means they may do deviant acts, far from the Sunnah but these people are totally illiterate in many cases and so the need educating on what the Deen of Islam truly is.


These two jokers for example are supposed to be pious Sufi teachers, this picture was taken at an anual sufi gathering where up to 1.5 Million of the worse Shirk loving sufis get together.

Here is a link to the story about the place...

Can Sufi 'Islam' counter the real Muslims in Pakistan?

So if you are going to move to Pakistan you really need to check out where you are going to move to because if you are practicing as much as you can and you move into some Brailwee village of city district and the people are practicing Sihr, forced marriage and shirk then yes it is a good Da'wah opportunity but it is also going to drive you crazy and it will be fitnah for your family and if one of the best points about Hijrah is to move away from the Shirk and munkar then moving to these sorts of places in Pakistan is going to be bad news for you.

2. Whether Autopsy is allowed or not, what are the circumstances Autopsies are carries out.

Autopsies carried out in some murder and suspicious deaths in the cities but unknown in the towns and villages.

This is a real plus, as this is something practiced in most rich countries but the poverty and corruption of the Pakistani state and people prevent them from suffering from this evil harm.

3. How easy is to move to that land and how easy or difficult is it to acquire citizenship.

Extremely easy to move and live in this land if you have a UK passport but more difficult to get citizenship though people stop there for years and years no problem, especially in NWFP and Tribal areas.

If you are going to not cause too much trouble or take part in open rebellion you can stop for as long as you want and there are many Westerners living in the major cities and villages.

4. What are the employment prospects for someone who is a non-native language speaker and doesn’t have a degree.

Not brilliant as plenty of Pakistanis moving back who not only speak good English but also the local lingo also but some prospects teaching English.

This to be honest is the best employment opportunity for people going there as you will be Western and sadly enough they will love you for it, your English being better than the local teachers will get you the jobs but there is also the colonial mentality as well with the middle classes trying to be more English than the English.

Some western companies are also moving their call centres to Pakistan like they have been doing to India for a few years now, the money is good compared to local rates of pay but I don't think most of us envisage working in a call centre full of young brothers and sisters checking each other out as our ideal job after Hijrah.

I think most of us would be fired within a few days after telling brothers and sisters to lower their gaze and stop all the filthy things that take place in mixed offices whether in the UK, the rest of the west or in the Muslim lands.

5. What are the medical facilities like for both residents and citizens.

All medical care is either private or charity, i.e good and expensive or free and not so good. Some parts of the country have good free or cheap hospitals but most don't, most have awful medical care unless you want to pay for private in which case you will get something getting close to a low class Western hospital.

6. What are the other benefits like for both residents and citizens.

Non existent, if you lose your job you have to beg, steal or starve. On the plus side the taxes are low also, so most people save up so if things do go wrong they are not stuck in such a bad way.

Some families will only have a few individuals working and supporting the rest who are studying or chilling at home, this might seem very odd to us but it is normal in Pakistan.


7. What is the general culture like there.

Varies from region to region and village to village, would be better to say at least four distinct cultures for each of the four provinces but even this not really correct as more varied than this. Generally culture is very Jahil with Music and free-mixing common, open prostitution in some of the cities despite the Azhaan being called 5 times a day within hearing distance of such filth.

But at the same time you can get a completely practicing community in the next village, or the next part of town. It is a total mixing pop with the filth alongside the good.

The people, especially in the cities are very westernised and do not really understand or value Islam. To them they see nothing wrong with going out meeting a girl, dating, sleeping around, mixing with cousins, dancing, music, it is all normal and part of their culture.


Other parts of Pakistan, especially in the north west are more Islamic, more practicing but even here you can get a lot of bad things going on in some places and shows you really need to do your research before you move anywhere.

One of the most evil customs I heard of was of women in Punjab being married to the Quran, where they don't wish to pass money out of the family when the father dies so where no cousin is available to keep the girl and her inheritance in the family they will marry her to the Quran in some bizarre Brailwee marriage ritual. Such women are then effectively nuns, unable to remarry and supposed to spend all of their time in seclusion when such a monastic lifestyle is expressly forbidden in the Deen of Islam.

8. What is the environment like, i.e what is the sea level rise with global warming going to do the coast line, what other natural resources are present in the case of the oil crash.

Over all the population of Pakistan is vulnerable due to its entire agricultural base being dependent upon melt water from the Mountains which will be less reliable in the future due to changes in weather.

Some areas like NWFP and tribal areas may benefit from milder winters and better growing conditions but rest of Pakistan is going to be worse off with more extreme weather patterns of droughts, followed by flooding.


9. General stability. How stable is the nation, are civil wars or state-v-state wars likely in the future.

Very unstable, Islamic revival has reached the level of open rebellion against the state in some areas and almost in a state of civil war all over the country.

I honestly think Pakistan is one of the three countries most likely to become a true Islamic state but there is likely to be a lot of bloodshed along the way as the apostate liberal secular elite will not give up power easily and neither will America let them go out of their influence without a struggle.

Conclusion

So there you have it, Pakistan. A land of total contrasts, easy to move to, but easy for the CIA to pick you up if you do anything wrong. Easy to practice but you must do so alongside prostitution and shirk.

As always, feedback appreciated.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
