Political turmoil seems to be the order of the day in to-days global village, fast turning into a global jungle especially in Pakistan.If the political clashes and economic deprivation in Baluchistan, the war in the North, the abduction of citizens, consistent drone attacks, the increasing poverty, degenerative medical facilities and the constant state of fear of being blown away to pieces, thefts, murders, gang wars, and corruption wasnt enough for the sad populus of this country, the killing-mayhem and democratic-farce in Karachi has become like flies over a dead corpse, the corpse being the successive dictatorial and democratic forms of governments. The people of Pakistan have had enough. The citizens of Pakistan are fed up with this power juggling between the power classes, where injustices done on the basis of majority is authority or totalitarianism are turned into vicious circles of death and destruction. When one sees human lives being trampled; when one sees secular democratic parties waging an all out war on each other, with bodies dropping all across ex-capital, one questions if the blood of Muslims is worth anything in the sight of these rulers? The fact is that the failure cannot only be blamed on the ruling elite, for the blame has to go with the general public. Time after time, the public belittles itself, indoctrinates itself, and fools itself in believing that either dictatorial or democratic form of governments will lead them out of their miseries. The fact of the matter is that there is only one form of governance that can take this nation out of its miseries, and that it is the only solution to the political turmoil we face today.
The solution lies in understanding and implementation of the Divine-System Caliphate. The question is, why is it that we seek to look towards Quran and Sunnah only when a calamity approaches us at an individual level and restrict it to Prayers, Haj and Zakat, yet refuse to implement the injunctions of the Deen when it comes to choosing the Rule of Law i.e. the whole system of governance and law. Our priorities, I believe, are not correct. The people need to set their directions right and away from democratic parties. The establishment on the other hand needs to give the debate on the system of caliphate a serious consideration, if it sincerely wishes to turn the tables and get out of the troubles it finds itself in today. Salvation lies only in guidance from the Quran and the Sunnah.

Re: Turning the Tables

... 'O people, this world is full of attractive temptations. Allah has appointed you as vicegerents (Khalifah) in this world, and He will see how you will act. So guard yourselves against the temptations of this world and of women.' Towards the end of this speech, he(s.a.w) said, 'The sun is about to set, and what remains of this world, compared to what has passed, is like what remains of this day compared to what has passed.'
