This country came into existence with support of Allah
Almighty, as the Muslims of sub-continent were not strongenough in force and resources. The whole world was amazedand astonished that this feeble lot of people actually achieved
what they were fighting for. The world doesnt knowAllahtook us to our destination.
It has been 62 years, we started off with ZERO and stillmanaged to stay alive as a separate nation, when the whole
world was thinking that we will give-up due to difficulties andcome back begging. They didnt knowAllah gave us courageand kept us alive in face of adversity.
Every one complains about our political leaders and the flawsin the system. These complaints have been there from the beginning; we are still moving ahead; we are still alive. Wedont realizeAllah is protecting our country and there is noflaw in HIS system.

Ive lived abroad and though my family was quite affluent, Iwas treated as a second grade citizen. I was a foreigner; analien. But this land is my own, I have an identity over hereIam Someone.
In a distant land, my life was more comfortable, but I washumiliated by the natives; my ego was crushed whenever I wasfrowned upon. Over here, my life has material disadvantages,
but I have reasons to be confident; I am not a burden onsomeone else; whatever I amI am Someone.
Even with flaws in the system; even with less materialresources; this country has given me an opportunity to
become what I am. If the country has given me difficulties, ithas also given me the means to overcome these difficulties. Mylife and my career might not be very radical, but Im far betterthan what I wasI am Someone.

This is the place where Ive seen families stick togetherthrough thick and thin, when the so-called developed world islost in solitude when emotions and troubles strike.
This is the place where Ive seen relatives pray for your well-being and share the joy of success with you, when the natives
of western countries are on their own in pursuits of happiness.
This is the place where friends and neighbors come in torescue you from troubles and financial crisis even when theythemselves are stuck in similar situations.
This is the place where people will actually cry and bedevastated when you die. Your absence will be felt beyond theday of your funeral.
