I've seen a lot of people practicing Islam, praying 5 times a day and fasting, but when it comes to equality, they just don't know how to treat the poor. Is that Islam? Are they good muslims?
Pakistan was created as a muslim nation where one could practice the teachings of Islam with freedom. But, even after 65 years of its creation, I can't see any equality in the society. In numerous places, I've seen little kids working instead of studying.
There's a tea hotel (chai ka dhaba) what we call it in Urdu, it's near my place and I go there often, there's a guy who works there. Always wearing a 'topi' and working and cleaning the tables. Today, I parked my car near that place and he came to me and asked, 'bhai yeh aap ki gari hai'. (Brother, is this your car'? 'It's very nice', he continued. I felt so sad, I told him it isn't mine but my dad's. I prayed for him that Allah gives him a better car than the one I've.
Similiarly, there are lots of stores in Pakistan who employee small children as workers. These children are sometimes merely 7 or 8 years old. Imagine, such a little child working instead of studying. It makes me guilty and I realize the fact that Allah has given so much to me. How can all those politicans who hide behind bullet proof glasses and own expensive cars feel the pain of a common man who lives below the poverty line? Why isn't un-employment allowance given to the citizens in pakistan? These children are deserve life we're living. We eat good food and still complain that it's not good enough to satisfy our taste buds. We've a house to live but we complain it's not big enough. What about those who haven't got these facilities? Some days ago, I was bothering my dad to get me an andriod. Never did I knew that 10 to 15 thousand rupee would fulfill all the basic needs of poor which could only buy me a timely happiness.

We should start thanking Allah for what we have instead of complaining what we don't. Because right now, we can't help anyone who's in financial need. But what we can do is be nice to them, make then smile. That's also a charity. We shouldn't be rude to the beggers, even if you don't want to give something, just smile and say no, trust me they'll leave you. I know that no political leader who address this issue, and it would continue to prevail, but if we do our part, our little contribution, then our nation would surely succeed. Some people might not even read it and other say that it's useless, but if everyone does a little, I'm sure this problem can be addressed. And secondly, please, don't waste food. My friends have the habbit of hitting each other with eggs on our birthdays, though I can't tell them to stop this, as they'd think that I'm being a preacher or a fake, but if any of you does that, stop that! Some people can't even afford an egg, while we throw it just for fun, it's just not right.
