The oath of the office of president/Prime minister of Pakistan itself makes our leaders hypocrite. The idea camr to me while watching the inauguration ceremony of Gilani in 2008
Gilani’s oath of office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan was as follows
I, Yousuf Raza Gilani, do swear solemnly that l am a Muslim and believe in the Unity and Oneness of Almighty Allah, the Books of Allah, the Holy Quran being the last of them, the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last of the Prophets and that there can be no Prophet after him, the Day of Judgment, and all the requirements and teachings of the Holy Quran and Sunnah:
That I will bear true faith and allegiance to Pakistan: That, as Prime Minister of Pakistan, I will discharge my duties, and perform my functions, honestly, to the best of my ability, faithfully in accordance with the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well- being and prosperity of Pakistan: (1)…………..That I will strive to preserve the Islamic Ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan:……….. That I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions: That I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan: That, in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favor, affection or ill- will: And that I will not directly or indirectly communicate or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as Prime Minister except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as Prime Minister.
May Allah Almighty help and guide me (A’meen)
Now consider the (1)……. the main oath, That I will strive to preserve the Islamic Ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan: If the prime minister is to stay true to his whole oath, then very next day he should do the following:
Shut down the Banks
Shut down stock market
Close down Music and film making industry
Close down music and film supplying industry
Shut down cable and all other TV broadcasts
Shut down Murree and Quetta breweries
Order all women to cover up their faces
Order all women to not leave the house without a Mahram
Order jihad to conquer and Islamize the surrounding countries
This little list is not exhaustive.
Of course he does not and cannot do any of it. He is unable to fulfill his oath. He knew that already. He immediately becomes a hypocrite if he is already not one. Once he becomes hypocrite Now the field is open to him to become any of the sort of taking part in immoral activity from accumulating wealth and power and cronies to sustain him in this endeavor. |
