This is the anniversary of the most important day in my life. I think I heard the news in the evening and cried for the next few hours. I was only 11 years 3 months old but the pain was intense. Then I stopped crying and decided that for the rest of my life I will try to rectify the situation and will only focus on it and will do nothing else in my life except this.
For the next ten years I was getting ready to become a soldier and a warrior. I ready all my father's books on military history, and grand fathers books on fiqh and islamic history. You believe me I ready a lot of these books.
But then I came to the conclusion, that we were are not short of warriors but political and business leaders. I spent another ten years to become the most well qualified business leader. Then I realized that the problem was not leadership but our lack of adoption of technology and education as a society (we were just like red indians of America, who have been out matched due to technology).
Spent another ten years mastering a small niche of technology which I thought was the easiest for us Pakistanis and muslims to master with minimum investment.
For the last 15 years I have been trying to spread the message of mass technology adoption with very little success.
Most of it is my fault, but another issue is that we are mostly from very middle class families. Our only objective in life is to make money (little money) and talk about Islam and do all the rituals but practically do nothing. Therefore we are useless for Pakistan or Islam, for that matter anything. We are not even good in earning money :(
But no matter what the odds or obstacles, I die trying. My life has been 11 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 15 = 56 years. My only fear is that when I am gone there will no one left who is even trying except trying to make a little bit of money :(
But then it will be your problem and your children's problem. When I think about this it makes me so sad that I laugh, we are not sincere even with ourselves or our own children, let alone Islam or Pakistan. So much useless talk and no substance.
