Socialism & Sial Sharif

The impostures of Bhutto had impressed the imprints of socialism in the minds of the nation to such an extent that slogans of death to Islam could be heard on common roads. There was a fear that in this country which was attained by the blood of hundreds of thousands of martyrs and by the sacrifices of their prime of youth for the sake of Islam, now the system of Marx and Lenin may be enforced.




The slogans of Bhutto’s comrades were very thunderous and vociferous creating an overwhelming, subdued and fearful atmosphere. Great politicians were under the mandible of the regime. Many scholars of the gown and turban were assisting Bhutto by sowing the seeds of socialism in this home of Islam. In this atmosphere of fear and terror, dread and despair, a voice called out, “Pakistan will become the burial ground of socialism.” The entire nation was startled and friends and foes were left amazed at the courage and bravery of the one shouting this slogan. They began rubbing their eyes and were anxious to see the face of this person who caused a commotion throughout the country with his sublimely enchanting call.

Who was making this call and who was shouting this slogan? He was none other than the leader of us Sunnis, the murshid of us Chishtis, Khawaja Muhammad Qamar al-Din Siyalwi. This call acted as the horn of Israfil and the sleeping nation woke up. It was only a case of this awakening that the burst of those slogans of falsity ended and that spell was broken which had engulfed the entire nation and especially the youthful generation in a bad way. In such a fragile period, when the leadership of Jam‘iyyat ‘Ulama’i Pakistan (JUP) and the flag of Islam’s greatness came in to the hands of this determined man of truth from the family of Shams al-‘Arifin, the tables were turned and the ambitions of Bhutto and his followers were turned to dust that desired to empty this land from Islam and make it a centre for socialism.
