We wish all our Christian brothers a very Happy Christmas! There is a common misconception about Pakistan being a fundamental Islamic State. Yes! Pakistan is a Muslim state, but let me make it very clear! Our beloved Prophet of Islam, Muhammad PBUH always spoke about the universal brotherhood and friendly relations with non-muslims.
The same message was given by Jinnah, Pakistan’s founding father, he always spoke about the rights of Non-Muslims.
Below are the words of Jinnah:
If we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor… you are free- you are free to go to your temples mosques or any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state… in due course of time Hindus will cease to be Hindus and Muslims will cease to Muslims- not in a religious sense for that is the personal faith of an individual- but in a political sense as citizens of one state
Thus, Pakistan’s constitution protects the rights of Non-Muslims and gives them freedom. So, Once Again; Merry Christmas Pakistan!
