Pakistan’s leadership must practically adopt the governance style of Hazrat Ali (R.A.) to establish a truly just society, as mere discourse on the rule of law is insufficient for meaningful change. This was stated by Sardar Abdul Rahim, the Secretary-General of the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) Sindh.
In a statement issued on the 21st of Ramadan, the martyrdom day of Amir al-Mu’minin Hazrat Ali (R.A.), Rahim emphasized that his life is a profound model of justice, equality, and truth from which current leaders should draw guidance.
The PML-F official said that Hazrat Ali (R.A.) dedicated his life to establishing justice and protecting the rights of the oppressed. He laid the foundation for a society where the supremacy of law, the provision of justice, and respect for humanity were fundamental principles.
Rahim stressed that by sacrificing his life for truth and justice, Hazrat Ali (R.A.) sent a powerful message that steadfastness against falsehood is the hallmark of true faith. He cited the event of Karbala as another significant manifestation of the same philosophy, where Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A.) stood against tyranny and made an unparalleled sacrifice to save the true message of Islam.
Acknowledging that justice and the rule of law are discussed in Pakistan, Sardar Abdul Rahim insisted that real change is impossible until those in power prioritize justice, integrity, and public service in their administration.
He concluded his remarks by calling for a collective commitment to adopt the teachings and governance principles of Hazrat Ali (R.A.) in both individual and national life. Rahim stated that this commitment is essential for creating a society based on justice and equality, which he described as the fundamental message of martyrdom and the key to the success of the Muslim Ummah.
