In Pakistan, followers of various religious schools of thought consider the proper religious upbringing of children a primary responsibility and work tirelessly to raise them as practicing Muslims.
Against this backdrop, the PTI founder’s promise of a ‘State of Madina’ while his own children remain unfamiliar with Islamic practices creates a glaring contradiction. Critics describe this as “deceiving the nation.”
Religious scholars emphasize that the foundation of a ‘State of Madina’ is based on piety, action, and moral character—not empty political slogans. A person who preaches an Islamic system while their family exemplifies non-Islamic practices is seen as manipulating public religious sentiment.
Social experts call it one of the era’s greatest tragedies that someone who failed to illuminate Islam within their own home is teaching millions about Islamic duties.
Public opinion is increasingly forming around the belief that the term ‘State of Madina’ was used merely to gain power and mislead the younger generation.
Critics insist that a person who cannot even guide their own children in Islam has no right to discuss establishing an Islamic system, labeling it a “political charade” aimed at deceiving ordinary citizens.
