Don’t Give Up on Pakistan

Silence, despair, and hopelessness help no one!

In times like these, when silence starts to feel safer than speaking, and hope feels like a distant luxury, I’ve seen too many good people give in. Not because they’re weak, but because the injustice is relentless. This message is for them—for all of us. To remind us why we must hold on.

Facing political persecution, rampant corruption, and a society on the brink of collapse, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The headlines are heavy, the injustice blatant. For many, Pakistan today feels like a political trainwreck spiralling out of control.

But precisely when it becomes easiest to lose hope—that’s when it’s most important not to.

Hopelessness is not just a feeling—it’s a tool. A tool used by those in power to silence, to paralyse, to break the spirit of a nation. That quiet resignation, the sense that nothing will ever change—that is exactly what they want. Because if we stop believing, if we give up, they’ve already won.

Hope has a name: Imran Khan!
Imran Khan has always stood for resilience. For standing tall when everything else crumbles. His life—from cricket to philanthropy to politics—is a lesson in persistence. Time and again, he has been written off. And time and again, he has returned stronger, more focused, more determined.

His mantra says it all: "ہارتا وہ ہے جو ہار مان جاتا ہے" — "You are only defeated when you accept defeat." And Khan has not accepted defeat, he fights on!

That spirit lives on even now, as he endures solitary confinement, bogus charges, and character assassination. He is not fighting for power—he is fighting for principle. For justice. For the future of Pakistan.

And that’s exactly why they fear him. Put away in jail, he still has not given up, how can we?

It’s a strategy
The hopelessness many feel is not random, it’s a strategy. They want us to lose hope, to forget, to move on, to lower our expectations, to accept this broken version of democracy, this theft of voice and vote. But we can’t afford to. Not now. Not when the stakes are this high. Even if only to deny them the satisfaction, we must keep hope alive.

Because hope is contagious. And when it spreads, it becomes courage. And courage, when it unites, is unstoppable.

So no matter how broken the system looks, no matter how hard the fall, don’t give up on Pakistan. Not now. Not when the fight for its soul is still alive. As long as there are people who believe, there is a future to fight for. And for those willing to look, the signs of hope are there to be seen.

And one day, inshAllah soon, a deep powerful voice will again echo through Pakistan:

"إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ"
(You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.)

This text is not just a statement—but a lifeline. For anyone struggling to keep hope alive: you're not alone. We will get through this!
