“Please refrain from any offensive or needlessly controversial topics.”
I wonder why you have to write this everywhere? Aren’t we aware of it yet?
If only we were we would have already moved on to doing something useful and constructive.
True…
I guess either you are very Blessed one
(Forest Gump type),
you might be god gifted with soft luck,
you might be extraordinary talented and blessed
with lucks,you might be noble saint
(The Holiness)like prophet,you might be a special angel,you might be a follower of Satan,or your parents might have left huge amount of wealth for you in billions.
If you ask someone about being Constructive
and useful in these days,the one will say
nothing and show no expression especially
” The Broke ones “.
Words are useless before the colors of world.
By the way what are you ? Where do you stand ?
Who are you to say anyone Constructive and useful ?
OOO , offensive ,so are we hmmmm ??!!
OOh yeh and needlessly , Hunk ahunk burning in love!
More than nationalism, there is a dire need to accept multi-culturalism I guess which is one of the major roots of violence and its exploited badly when ignored.
I strongly agree with you like we have welcomed Lord Nazir Ahmad from UK ,again a very cunning diplomatic homosexual Hindku speaking outsider who doesnt like Urdu Speaking ppl by heart.
He welcomes everyone but loves to help
his own kinds.He has no hands in becoming
Baron himself,thats what my brother and
I have discovered while I was in UK struggling
to live.No one could ever help you except
Allah !
Dont be offended but it is true make sure
Allah is not busy Patting his own
Blessed ones !
One nation of nations; One Pakistan!
Danali. Please either become a nationalist, or find your own path. And please don’t bother getting into your usual arguments for this. This is just the way I’d like this space to be. Thanks for understanding.
How did you get to write and post in Urdu too? Can it be done on Facebook?
I would like to point out a mistake and correct it in one of the blogs; The Symbols of Pakistan, over there the National River is NOT Sidu but ‘SINDHU’
Faisal, I AM a nationalist! And will try NOT to post anything against your wishes.
And since I CAN post here does it mean I have joined and a part of OnePakistanOneNation now?
Mr. Qureshi, the National Anthem Project is a really good idea – not only will people recite the national anthem, they will have to be public and upfront about it.
However, as an opponent of sensationalism, I would like to point out that your oath video seems very over the top and sensationalised. No need for the suspense, or the echo effect, or even the music. Just say it, in the accompaniment of silence, that is all that is needed.
Regards.
Faizan. Let’s discuss this AFTER you’ve uploaded your version. As for mine, if you notice, it was done for TV.
I’m sorry, I cannot. Not only can I not promise with full sincerity of being an ideal Pakistani citizen, I also do not want to make my face so public like this. But why is that a requirement to getting my question answered?
It was done for TV, yes, but that does not justify it. Shouldn’t TV be rid of sensationalism? You could set a(nother) precedent.
FQ:
Thanx for inviting me
Faizan:
This is wht i call true critsisism, khud kerna nahin hai or jo karey wo pagal! lolx!!. Anywayz i dont find any issue havin Eco sound or Muxik in it, the thing which matters is your Faith. Are u strong enough ??
Regrads,
M Nivyan Rehmani
Bly me! I can’t comment more on what’s been already discussed, or should I say exploited, on Facebook regarding the Oath video.
Soon mine’s coming up lets see what happens then?
The only way to tackle these demented people is to out number them by keeping focus on what is right … The silent majority!
wat about the national issues to be disscussed???
Know any thing about Opr Blue Tulsi ????
Dear Faisal bhai,
Please discuss the unemployment problem in your program “Bang-e-Dara”.
Also tell me what is the website of Bang-e-Dara. I couldn’t find on GOOGLE.

Karvan (26 July 2009).
About today’s show. Criticism must be accompanied with solutions.
I agree with Nazim Haji that criminal display of wealth is wrong but at the same time we must have simplicity in our behavior. Austerity in how we speak, how we look at others, and how we deal with others matters more than the appearance!!!
Why benchmark everything with the scale of religion. Some things are part of culture of this land. Accept it and move on!!!
We cannot make a lot of change unless welfare and charity is made part of personality of each child of this nation. School going children to be made aware of their social responsibilities now!!! If this is inculcated in their personalities they will make a change at home now, and in the society when they grow up to be men and women of this nation.
The noble Quaid;
The Cabinet Meeting was to be held – the ADC inquires, “Sir what will be served in the meeting…Tea or Coffee?”
Sir looked up and replied sternly…the ADC was taken aback! “Whichever of the Ministers wish to have tea or coffee should drink it before leaving his home or when he returns home. The Nation’s money is for the Nation and not for the Ministers!”
After this instruction – as long as he was the Head of the nation …nothing except water was ever served in the Cabinet meetings.
Danali: I like it.
The noble Quaid (part 2):
Some items amounting to Rs.38.50 paisa had been purchased for the Governor General’s House. He asked for the bill; a few items were purchased on Mohtarima Fatima Jinnah’s request; he gave instructions that the amount was to be deducted from her account. A couple of items were for his own personal use…their amount to be deducted from his personal account. The remaining items for the Governor House, he said, may be charged to the Government. Instructions were issued to check and make sure what may be charged to the government in the future.
Respected Sir,
Im not sure if you will be able to put my story as topic of one of your episodes but I really want to pass on this story to every one in Pakistan.
I belong to a middle class family and studying in London at London Metropolitan University. at my University we have a few american and europian students studing along with majority of British students. i would like to cut down my story in short, i was sitting and talking to a few of my fellow students after lecture and were talking about our countries, and like others i was also telling only the good aspects of my country, when a fellow American student claimed that my country (Pakistan) only relies on American Tax payer citizens and the money his family and forefathers have paid as tax have been aided to my poor country. and they think if they wont pay their taxes, We(Pakistani’s) will die of hunger.
now after listening to all this, i just left the room and since that day i kept thinking, that my father is also a tax payer, but i cannot deny what my fellow american student said too, because american’s have given us some handsome amount of aid.
then i started searching internet, but i failed to get information about amount of aid, which have been recieved by Pakistan, departments where we used this aid, development projects we started from this aid, did this aid helped us increasing our literacy rate?, and also i wanted to know that who is accountable and Responsible for this aid?? and do we get imformed,that we did we use the aid??
there are so many other questions that emerged in my mind after that day, which i will discuss later,on this wall.
regards,
M A Awan
In his concluding address at the All India Muslim League Legislators Convention at Delhi in 1946, the noble Quaid said:
“What are we fighting for? What are we aiming at? It is not theoracy – not for theocratic state. Religion is there and religion is dear to us. All the worldly goods are nothing to us when we talk of religion. But there are other things which are very vital – our social life, our economic life, but without political power how can you defend your faith and economic life.”
I was watching a program of Faisal on Women Rights Violation.
I was agree on all points as well as strongly disagree on the same.
Do you know the meaning of Women ,
Theoritically and Practically ?
I mean as follows ;
1)What is the meaning of women in terms of
theory?
2)What are the practical assessments for
the women have been drawn out practically
uptill now ?
Illustrate the answers in spirit of
the Possessive Utility.
(Possessive Utility = Your Religion/Not your Culture)
3)How does Modern Advanced Science describe about women in today’s living ?
4)What appeal women to money has got
to do with sex ?
(I bet they will never answer you straight)
Reply me.
(I am sure you might have experiences in women)
Regarding our current system ,
It will never ever work out by any means,
It has already been too late.
The system has completely diverged from
the basic concept of the country.
This system has evolved a new era of destruction
and it is high time for all of us to admit
our mistakes made out in past especially
all the politicians,ministers,Government
bodies,civil employers,Religious Scholars,National Security and all
the Legislative bodies.
They all must be hung and some must be buried alive !!
It is time for War for real against Rich Class!
sorry to say all r harping on the same subject that is loose structure but r we perfect?thats a question we must bother about.on this azadi day we must think of making ourself correct,structure will automatically fallow us.
In his concluding remarks in the All India Muslim League Council meeting held in Bombay in July 1946, after the Cabinet Mission Plan (in which Quaid’s deep conviction of the suitability of the confederal system was put to tes) was abandoned, the noble Quaid said:
“We have made no mistake, We deliberately accepted the Cabinet Missions’s statement of May 16th and we also accept the interim formula. The Muslim League was bound by higher and greater considerations than the rest of India. We therefore sacrificed our full sovergeignty of Pakistan on the altar of securing freedom and independence for all. We voluntarily delegated the subjects to the Union to work for ten years.”
You can’t be bothered to upload your anthem, yet you want to preach so hard
Come on Danali. You’re better than that. 
Hey Faisal
Not preaching sir; Pakistan ki baat ho aur Quaid ka paigaam nah ho, tou baat adhuri ha.
I will upload my anthem, but I am going to take time doing that; Busy with exams now, once free will visit my village and record it there!
Thank you
Kul kis nay daikhi. And I never said you can’t do it twice
Dear Mr. Faisal, I saw your 14th Aug. prog., seems that you are trying to find (or crate) youngsters capable of leadership, very good effort, but in my opinion you miss one thing, that in order to make young leaders we have got to have living leaders who can serve as role models, you may say that such people exist,yes they do like Dr. Adeeb Rizwi founder of SIUT, Dr Masood Hameed V.C Dow university ( I am a doctor so I am giving examples for medical profession) and many others, but they are known for their non political work, we need to find role models from political arena, a field unfortunately completely devoid of such people. At the other end of the spectrum, we
the mature people in general public need to be role models for the young, but here again we are badly lacking in numbers. While watching your show I was wondering how many of the bright young people sitting there had parents &
others elders in their families who are honest in simple terms like not stealing electricity ( this is a dishonesty that is rampant in all sections of our society from top to bottom) or taking care of not blocking the way for others while parking our car or bike. What I am trying to say is that working with young people is alright but we also have to somehow motivate mature people to be good role models. we can’t tell our kids to be nice while being bad ourself. Do you have any ideas?
Aik hoon muslim haram ki pasbani kay liyee
neil kay sahil say lay kar taba khakey kashgher
jag aey musalman kub aur hashar hoga
jagay ga tub….jub hatah say nikla
HARUM hoga
jag ary muslman kub aur hashar hoga
jub tray apny hathon ujra tera chaman hoga
Aoa Sir!This campaign is awesome nd i wil record my video and wil upload on the Youtube IA very soon.
According to me the purpose of this campaign is to show whether u have the courage to speak infront of other people about ur country or not.
Sirf batain hi nahi karni chahiya logon ko kuch kar ka bi daikhana chahiya and i think this is the first step to do sth for ur country.
My Dear Friends i am a new to your National Anthem Movement, kindly allow me an opportunity to understand it better!
NATIONAL ANTHEM : A PLEDGE OF ALLEGIENCE
For the newly born sate of Pakistan, there were many challenges, and one of these was the necessity of having a national anthem. Upon independence, when the the flag was hoisted it was accompanied by the song, ” Pakistan Zindabad, Azadi Paendabad”. The flag itself had only been approved by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan three days earlier. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, wanted an anthem immediately on independence and at his own had asked a Lahore-based Hindu writer, Jagannath Azad on 9 August 1947 to write a national anthem for Pakistan in five days. The anthem written by Azad was quickly approved by Jinnah, and it was played on Radio Pakistan. This initial anthem remained as Pakistan’s national anthem for approximately eighteen months.
In 1948, A.R. Ghani from Transvaal, South Africa, offered two prizes of Rs. 5,000 each for the poet and composer of a new national anthem. The prizes were announced through a Government press note published in June 1948. In December 1948, a National Anthem Committee (NAC) was formed, initially chaired by the Information Secretary, Shaikh Muhammad Ikram. Committee members included several politicians, poets and musicians such as Abdur Rab Nishtar, Ahmed Ghualm Ali Chagla and Hafeez Jullandhuri. But nothing could be immediately finalized and when President Suekarno of Indonesia, the first foreign head of the state to visit Pakistan, visited Pakistan in 1950, Pakistan’s national anthem was not played. It was then that the National Anthem was composed (WITHOUT LYRICS) by musician Ahmed Ghulam Ali Chagla, which was played on March 30,1950 on the arrival of King of Iran Reza Shah Pehalvi. The first instrumental anthem was played by the Pakistan Navy band at PNS Dilawar under Warrant Officer Abdul Ghafoor. The anthem was also played during the Prime Minister’s visit to the United States. Although it was approved for playing during the visit of the Shah, official recognition was not given until January 5, 1954. In the meantime, however, Mr Ahmed Ghulam Ali Chagla had died in 1953, before he could see his tremendously appealing tune to have been accepted as the final anthem of Pakistan. His contribution to the national anthem was recognized by the government of Pakistan in 1996, when he was posthumously awarded the “President’s Pride of Performance award”, which was received by his son Abdul Khaliq Chagla on March 23, 1997.
We were taught that the first step to national pride was respecting the flag and reciting the National Anthem on daily basis.
Now, I have observed in Pakistan that the national flag is not a symbol of respect or pride, nor I have been able to listen our National Anthem being played on the Electronic Media despite the fact that there are numbers of Television Channels are set up in Pakistan except that on some occasion like the speech of the president or the prime minister . Before you all start to fume about that comment, think for a second… on your house, do you have the national flag flying or do you have a political party flag? Can u recite the first few lines of the National Anthem in first go? When you see protestors on television burning the flag, does it burn you inside knowing that the symbol by which Pakistan is known in the world is being desecrated?
Would you tolerate it if a foreigner were to do that in front of you?
Then why do you tolerate it when Pakistanis do it?
A quick quiz…
What is the Pakistani flag called?
Who created the national flag?
When did it come into existence?
What does it mean?
Did you know the answers without going on the internet and looking them up? Would you like to know the answers? I didn’t know either, so I had to look them up.
The national flag of Pakistan is called Sabz Hilali Parcham which is Urdu for Green Flag with the Crescent or Parcham-e-Sitara aw Hilal meaning The Flag of the Crescent and Star. It was created on 11th August, 1947 by Syed Amir-ud-Din Kedwaii.
The flag comprises a dark green field (representing Muslims) with a vertical white stripe in the hoist (left side) (representing non-Muslim minorities). In the centre is a white crescent (symbolizing progress) and a white five-pointed star (light and knowledge).
We need to start educating ourselves and our children about the national flag and that it is something to be respected and revered, and should never be an object of abuse, by anyone.
Pride in our nation starts with pride in our flag, that is what the world knows as the symbol of Pakistan.
Allegiance to the Republic, not a family, not a political party, nor a charismatic person; the Republic. Here, we tend to have allegiances all wrong, which is the main reason why our country stands in the condition it is today. We pledge allegiance to political parties when we sign the membership form. We pledge allegiance to professional associations. We pledge allegiance to political and charismatic leaders. But when do we pledge allegiance to Pakistan? Or is that only for those that take a military oath of service?
We have put ourselves on a vicious cycle, and we are the ones to blame for it. By pledging allegiance to everything else, we forget the one thing that requires our true allegiance, Pakistan. Without Pakistan, there is no Pakistan People’s Party. Without Pakistan, there is no Pakistan Muslim League. Without Pakistan, the political and charismatic leaders that we blindly follow would not exist.
Think for just a moment about what or where you think you might be if Pakistan did not exist.
Think for a moment about the sacrifices that Quaid-e-Azam, Sir Muhammad Allama Iqbal, and others gave to bring Pakistan into existence.
Think for a moment about the thousands of men who have given their lives in the defence, both civilian and military, of this nation we call Pakistan.
Now, think for a moment, why you don’t pledge allegiance to Pakistan?
Many reasons right, but the biggest being: The government is corrupt. But riddle me this: Didn’t you sit idly by and allow them to become this corrupt? Do you pay bribes or give “gifts” to get things done? Don’t blame the government; they can’t bribe themselves; that is where you encourage them. Learn to say no.
We need to go back to teaching our children history. If you don’t have the time, let your parents explain it. They actually lived through it and can give a first hand account of Pakistan’s development. We have a rare opportunity that will be gone in the next 20 years. We can actually learn the stories from the people that built Pakistan.
Take advantage of the opportunity and write the stories down and post them here.
The more that we learn about our history, the stronger we become.
People say history repeats itself… we are a broken record stuck on the same track. It’s time we started to believe the slogans that we scream at political rallies…”Pakistan Zindabad,” “Pakistan Painadabad,” and pledged our allegiance to the country that we thank Allah each day for.
You are able to get up every morning knowing that you are free. You are able to hear the azhan 5 times daily and join other Muslim brothers in prayer and fellowship. You are able to get an education and build a life for yourself.
With Pakistan, you have everything. Without Pakistan… only our elders can really tell us what state our lives would be in without this great country.
We all want this. One strong nation. One united people. Freedom and Justice for every citizen of Pakistan. What are we doing to make it happen?
The next time you are in a video store, look around and see how many, what I call, “Gung Ho” movies there are about America. Movies that do nothing more than boost national pride and build respect for the things that they have accomplished in building and defending their country. When you are watching television, look at how the shows also echo national pride and respect. From the cop shows, like NYPD Blue, to the comedies, be proud to be an American. Why? Because we say so. Is it really that easy?
We, as a nation, have to start believing in the rights that are guaranteed us under the Constitution of Pakistan. When we, as a nation, decide together to stop accepting that Pakistan is this way and will always be this way; only then can we expect the democracy to grow and the nation to flourish.
We can not expect Pakistan to be Pakistan while we still have cultural divides across provincial lines; while we have ideological differences with the people leading the political parties, religious parties and government.
We have the right to ask questions of anyone as citizens of this country. Whether you do it or not can only be answer by one person… you.
Hi Faisal,Hope all is good!!! i m really impressed by the way u talk to ur guest on ur television program unlike other people at different channels!
I would like to support you/Join you in every move you want to make to change anything because you are the only person who i think is eager to do something…hope will able to contribute in anyway!
Keep up the good work…take good care

Thanks for your support. Please support me with uploading as many anthems to pakcom.com as you can. Thanks.
AOA,
Dear Faisal bahi ,you are one of the people i admire alot and I really like the way you think.
I have some ideas and would really be thankful if you could do some programs on them,because I feel that It’s high time that we as Muslims and Paksitanis take up this responsibilty to awaken the nation.Today read an article today on “Burka : the Other view”.
It really made me think that why do some muslim women oppose Burqa as to what they feel ,if you could do a poll on your show.The real picture could come out do women feel imprisioned by veil or is their identity being suppressed.
Regds,
