{EOP}Understanding the term "REVOLUTION" (Inqilaab)

Revolution means 'change'. But the question arises 'What kind of change'. May it be the change of face, change of government OR change of minds and system. We have seen in our lives many times the change in faces and government, but they haven't brought any significant change in our life, a change that can direct our life towards the real destiny i.e obedience of Allah and Ishq-e-Rasool(s.a.w.w).

There can be two reasons, either there is something wrong in the system or the faces that run the system, the faces keep on changing but the system is intact , it clearly shows that the system is wrong! So change would actually mean 'the change in system' and to change the system, we need to change our minds. take it out from the slavery of Democracy or Dictatorship, Capitalism or Communism, and think independently now. Change does not mean that you come out on the streets and start chanting slogans,Change is brought within, a fire is ignited within!! But people would ask 'What steps should we take to change the system?' Many Revolutionaries have passed by in the past and the only things we should do is to follow their footsteps.

One of the greatest revolutionaries was Malcolm X, the man who brought revolution in himself, the man who found the truth in Islam. According to Malcolm X , if in revolution, you have to violate the rules and regulations, you are still on the right path, he says: "I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence."

Nowadays many political parties are talking about Change and trying to get the credit of the coming change, but Malcolm X replies them with great expertise.

"The people who are involved in a revolution don't become a part of the system—they destroy the system, they change the system. A revolution changes the system, it destroys the system and replaces it with a better one."

The greatest revolution was brought by a great leader, i.e the revolution of Makkah and Madina was brought by the greatest human on earth, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Now, lets come to pioneer revolutionaries of the Muslim World. In Islamic world , most of the revolution have been brought through the poetry of great sufis and saints. They converted millions of people to Islam through their heart-touching poetry, the poetry that changed their lives, changed their minds, changed their spirit, changed their obedience and gifted them with Ishq-e-Rasool(s.a.w.w) that changed their destiny and changed the direction of their destiny. The first Islamic and Spiritual revolution was brought by our Great Prophet(S.A.W.W) in the most backward and illiterate Arabs, who thought killing their daughters was honour, degrading their women was honour , fighting without purpose was honour.

Revolution has a great power and strength. It can compel a group of weapon-less and armor-less 313 to fight against gully weaponed and armored 1000. It can compel one-third population of sub-continent to carve out a separate homeland for themselves in impossible situation. The greatest Revolutionist of 20th and 21st century is our Great Poet BABA IQBAL(R.A), IQBAL with his vision and wisdom Vigoured the minds of the Muslims, He showed them their reality. The muslims realized their great strength. IQBAL inspired them with his poetry about their ancestors. The entire doctrine of IQBAL. The entire vision, wisdom, message and mission of IQBAL is to know yourself who you are.To Realize what destiny awaits you. IQBAL spreads hope by telling the Muslims, that in the coming days, a fascinating destiny has been written on the pages of fate, Just go and grab it.

IQBAL for the first time gave the concept of Khudi:

اے غافل افغان! اپنی خودی پہچان

O lost Afghan, Identify your “self” !

BABA IQBAL clearly says in his poetry, the the only system acceptable in front of Allah is Khilafat:

عقل ہے سپر تیری، عشق ہے شمشیر تیری

میرے درویش! خلافت ہے جہانگیر تیری

Similarly BABA IQBAL predicts the re-establishment of the KHILAFAT by saying:

اگر عثمانیوں پر کوہ غم ٹوٹا تو کیا غم ہے

کہ خون صد ہزار انجم سے ہوتی ہے سہر پیدا

BABA IQBAL brought the revolution in the making of Pakistan, He brought the revolution in Iran in1979,brought the revolution in Tajikistan in 1992, and now with the grace of Allah BABA IQBAL is bringing the revolution in Pakistan, only those can see who have eyes.

وقت فرصت ہے کہاں، کام ابہی باقی ہے

نور توحید کا اتمام ابہی باقی ہے

"There is no time to spare, work hard for the implementation of khilafah"

BABA IQBAL, In his poetry has clearly said the after the making of Pakistan , our responsibility is not finished , but we have to take it to its destiny, which our great ancestors achieved. Pakistan is an unfinished revolution, the half of it was making on the basis of La Ilaha Ilallah, the remaining half of it is to finish this revolution on the basis of Muhammadur RasoolAllah (s,a.w.w). Be a part of it or you will be extremely unlucky.
