    Liaqat Ali Khan gave a speech in 1949 laying out the vision for Pakistan as an Islamic state. He sought to create a country that was neither a theocracy nor a secular republic, but rather an "Islamic state" that could continue the great Islamic civilization. Pakistan was meant to be a model not just for the Muslim world but for all humanity by promoting social justice, equality, spirituality and human values. However, over time Pakistan deviated from its founding principles of being an Islamic welfare state for all citizens, regardless of religion. The document argues that Pakistan needs to reclaim its original vision and purpose.

    Why We Created Pakistan

    Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan was


    assassinated by CIA in 1951 because of this
    speech that he gave in Pakistan's
    parliament in 1949 while passing the
    "Objectives Resolution", the vision
    statement of the new Islamic State. Know
    why Pakistan was created by Muslims of
    India.
    Pakistan is a unique political achievement in
    the history of mankind, second only to the
    first Islamic State of Medina, founded by
    the Prophet 1400 years ago...it is NOT a
    ethno-linuastic nation state...it is actually a
    surreal phenomenon in modern political
    history.
    The Islamic society is a concept beyond and
    above any narrow sectarian interpretation
    of Islam. Today we have sectarian wars
    raging in the Muslim world. Our founding
    fathers has foreseen the dangers of such a
    narrow interpretation & had created
    safeguards...
    Pakistan was always meant t be a spiritual
    State...most unique social and political
    experiment to create a country which is
    neither a Theocracy nor a secular
    republic.....but an Islamic State which can be
    the natural heir to the great Islamic
    civilization of the past.
    Pakistan was not meant to be role model
    for the Muslim world alone BUT for the
    entire humanity in social justice, equality,
    spirituality, knowledge, human values.
    World today is on the verge of total
    destruction, not because of Islam but
    because of those who waged WW1/2...
    You cannot separate the State from the
    religion in an Islamic State... As Iqbal had
    said "If the laws & fundamental guiding
    principles of a State are devoid of the moral
    & spiritual ethos of religion, then only a
    savage entity is created which brings only
    death to the world"
    This one question has been haunting the
    Muslim world as well as the outsiders for
    centuries. Is an Islamic State a theocracy?
    Liaqat Ali Khan, in his most profound
    eloquence, resolved this centuries old
    confusion in defining the Islamic State of
    Pakistan.
    Islam defines its own terms, its own
    explanations of political science, even if it
    uses the contemporary pol terms. The word
    Democracy means totally different to a
    Muslim society than it is to a secular one,
    hence the confusions in dialogue between
    Islam & the rest.
    An Islamic State acts as guardian angels to
    its citizens, Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
    Pakistan was a struggle by Muslims for a
    Muslim homeland to live their lives
    according to our own values & faith...State
    is supposed to create that environment &
    keep a jealous watch..
    A "good life" is Islam is only defined if the
    quality of life is also matched by the highest
    quality of man. A materially enriched society
    with decadent moral values is not the
    Islamic idea of progress. Pakistan was
    meant to attempt this unique social
    experiment.
    Modern western society has unleashed a
    Machiavellian demon which is now
    annihilating entire humanity in wars,
    disease, debt and moral decadence. Our
    founding fathers had a global vision - for
    entire humanity and Pakistan was to be the
    base for a human revival.
    Minorities in Pakistan were to be respected
    & protected....as they have been
    throughout every era of Islamic civilization.
    Islamic societies naturally protect the non-
    Muslims under Islamic laws.. Jews were
    protected by the Ottomans when they were
    persecuted by Christians.
    How far we have deviated from the
    founding principles of our founding
    fathers... Pakistan was meant to be an
    Islamic welfare state for all citizens...instead
    today, it has been hijacked by Oligarchy
    Mafias in politics and religion. Pakistan
    need to be reclaimed now....
    It is the loss of entire humanity that
    Pakistan has lost its way since its creation...
    Our founding fathers were great men, with
    greater vision & courage to dream the
    impossible. The dream is still alive....path is
    well know...we only need another Quaid or
    Liaqat Ali Khan...
