This is an absolute term in its own meaning but when expressed with something which is also complete in its own idea the comprehension becomes quite crazy. I have been going through a debate with not only myself but with also the circle of people around me to define these two terms. My concerns are about the exposure and openness about various issues of life that we are defending and publicizing at the same time. For example I want my child to know about concepts of life in a very simple manner. Lying is bad and be truthful with yourself and never hide anything from your parents and be open and discuss everything. But is this liberty really being given in its true sense. I find it difficult at times to demonstrate most of the things or even explain some of the straightforward actions that we do in our daily routine life to a growing child of today’s enlightened world. It is VERY complex and one can find himself in a very tricky situation at times. After some time I realized that the main reason would be that we when were at the age of questioning and knowing and exploring new things were not given the freedom of probing into the matters related or unrelated to us. So we kept on doing most of the acts and things out of respect or we were told to do so and later it all became the basic ingredient of our lifestyles.
To utter surprise of us all this not the case nowadays. We need to be very clear about our concepts our belief and our actions. And for that we all have to increase our knowledge base. That is the only way things around us can be changed. If we need to bring a change we need to know the problem and address it thoroughly. For example, though it is very difficult to find a very good programme (in any term) for kids on any channel that you can remember but then we have to shift their maximum attention towards productive reading habits. Some more interactive learning so they experience basic things by doing simple exercises. Give freedom of asking questions but again be prepared with a logic and satisfactory answer. Be understandable so you can actually give the same level of unmistakable comprehension to you new generation. It is though painful to see the changing world and systems bring happiness and comfort in the lives of so many nations. We want to go and join them, live in their country according to their way of permission and be part of their success but are unable to change the place where we and our ancestors have lived since ever. Almost all of the successful nations have adopted the basic concepts of our religion which includes education, learning, making system of equal distribution of wealth, supporting the nation and people and have inculcated these basics to their young generation. That’s why they have lucid strong system of Taxes, education, reforms, law and order and so many others to name. (I am not going into a debate of religion just comprising of Women doing Parda and Islamic Shareeah according to the will of Mullah’s in our country.) We Muslims have been given the clearest path anyone can dream of. Every system of the society is so logically and coherently defined and discussed in Islam and Quran. We just need to educate ourselves more about the core message in this divine book for becoming a successful nation. Everybody else is doing then why cant we?
