This is something that happens very often with many of us. When someone sees something wrong, uncivilised or unjust, that person becomes shocked, and the expression is accompanied with the phrase: "Is mulk par Allah raham karay." (God have mercy on this country). And thats it. The minute we turn our backs, all is forgotten. Why does that happen? Why don't we do something about that uncivilised, unjust act?
What we do, is not enough. What we do is condemn the act in our hearts and forget about it. What we do is the weakest form of struggle against evil. Therefore none of us should expect to defeat evil with such a weak offence. Many of us have this illusion that if we just sit around and do nothing, God will directly solve all the problems and eradicate all evil. We ask God to have mercy and then forget about it. Some of us may also become frustrated when nothing seems to change. It's because God is helping us without us realising it.
God has given us the power to put things into words, through speech and/or through writing. Both being very powerful means of communicating, spreading awareness and condemning evil openly (the former being a much more influential). But unfortunately none of us use this method of struggling against the wrongs and instead we prefer to choose the method which is weaker and what I believe, not helping us to solve any of the problems
Why do we keep waiting for God's direct help when He is already helping us? He has given us the power and the sign that it is our duty to use the strength, He has granted, properly to keep evil at bay.
"God does not change the condition of a nation until they, themselves are not ready to bring a change."
