14 August is the day when we got freedom from humiliation. 14th August is a day when, efforts of our national heroes are appreciated and celebrated and a day when we get our name and respect. Being Muslims we have our own values and cultures and that was the real reason behind the efforts and sacrifices made to get a separate country. We Muslims celebrate this day with complete satisfaction and pleasure of being in a separate region where we enjoy freedom of living in every way. It’s a national holiday and different ceremonies of flag raising, tributes to national heroes and fireworks. Different leaders deliver speeches with a message of unity and brotherhood. Pakistan is a free state in which every Pakistani including Non-Muslim has equal rights our constitution gives full rights to all citizens.
People like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Sardar Adul Rab Nashtar, Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, Maulana Shaukat Ali are always written in golden words in the history of Pakistan. Muhammad Ali Jinnah also known as Quaid-e-Azam is the real founder of Pakistan. Allama Iqbal, with his be motivational poetry, motivated Muslims to think and earn their own nationality and name in the world. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was the man who opened schools and preached that Muslims should take part in getting higher education so that they can compete the others like Hindus as they were enjoying good positions in government because of their good education culture.
Muslims were against the English language but Sir Syed made efforts to bring Muslims near to English language so that they can easily mix up with British living in subcontinent as rulers. They were punished or disturbed when they perform their religious duties. It offended Muslims but as they were weak nation, they could not do anything. Pakistan came into being after the sacrifices of countless lives. Many of our ancestors lost their lives only for the freedom of their imminent generations, for the sake of independent land where all the Muslims can offer their religious duties with their own wish and freedom. As citizens of free Pakistan, we must reflect on the values and principles which were in the minds and hearts of those who fought and sacrificed for our freedom. They portrayed inspiration from the values nurtured in the country through ages.
Now we are living as an independent nation, which is enjoying all the beauties, charismas of their own homeland. Being a citizen of Pakistan it’s our duty to work for its betterment. We should work whole heartedly and with complete devotion for the development of our beloved homeland, we should not forget the sacrifices of our ancestors and national leaders whole made this land happen as an unrestricted territory for us to live. It’s the time to work with that passion which was in the bloods of our national heroes who fought for our freedom; it’s the time for the strong commitment with us for the betterment of our holy land. We should not compromise on our integrity and would not let our freedom and integrity being used by other dominant powers in the world. At this independent day let we rethink about our plans, our actions and their outcomes. We all should pray at this day of best for our pious land and promise ourselves that we would not let any harm on it and will work for its defense till the day of our last breath. Right said by Quaid.e.Azam “We are a nation of a hundred million and what is more, we are nation with our distinct culture civilization”
