Egypt Golden Parade: Lessons for Pakistan

[Mentee]

Since this thread is about honouring ancient egyptìan history lets be sincerely factual about it


“What, now! When previously you rebelled and were one of the corrupters? Today we will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs.” [10:91-92].

 

[Hydration]

huh. Really suprising to me that most if not all on this thread think just because 1 out of the 300 kings was bad then the whole civillization is bad. Then again Firuan was beleived to be of hyksos origin

 

[Sinnerman108]

Yes egypt is celebrating the pharoahs who committed shirk... By all means if u feel you should follow.

But know that anyone who follows the pharoahs in deed will also follow him in fate...

Think about it.
Maybe we are worse than Pharaohs ?

When Moses challenged their centuries old tradition, they didn't out right kill him
they went through a long process of cajoling him, explaining, pressuring and eventually
they went after him.

Whereas today, all one has to do is utter a word, and lovers of Islam wont' waste a second spilling blood.

so, tell me are we not worse already ?

This has to be the dumbest thing Egypt could do , parade a bunch of dead people around

 

[Azadkashmir]

Na on the Donkey would be better

By looking at this parade, one can clearly deduce what not to do!

 

[airmarshal]

Mummies of Egyptian Pharaohs were preserved by the Almighty Allah for a lesson of His enormity. Its stated in Quran that Egyptian Pharaohs will be preserved to teach generations of what Azab e Ilahi is for those who rebel against His prophet to the point of killing him. The Pharaohs tried to kill Moses. Whichever nation tried to or killed a prophet sent directly to that nation, has been eliminated by Almighty. These mummies is an eternal lesson to not deviate from the righteous path He prescribed in the message conveyed through His prophet.

There is nothing to celebrate here, but if you follow teaching of Quran, these mummies are symbols of Azab e Illahi.

Why should we celebrate godless, heathen predecessors when we have been shown the light of righteousness? Instead, we should consume that energy to introspect and reflect why as Muslims, we are so far behind in the world? It does not mean we destroy our past. We should keep its memory but not celebrate it.

Egyptians have been witnessing a historic procession of their country's ancient rulers through the capital, Cairo.
The lavish, multimillion-dollar spectacle saw 22 mummies - 18 kings and four queens - transported from the peach-coloured, neo-classical Egyptian Museum to their new resting place 5km (three miles) away.
With tight security arrangements befitting their royal blood and status as national treasures, the mummies were relocated to the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in what is called The Pharaohs' Golden Parade.
They were transported with great fanfare in chronological order of their reigns - from the 17th Dynasty ruler, Seqenenre Taa II, to Ramses IX, who reigned in the 12th Century BC.
Egypt experienced a sharp rise in Covid-19 infections a year ago, but following a decline in the number of cases and deaths, restrictions on open-air gatherings were later lifted.

Now coming to Pakistan. Why dont we own people who were true heroes of Land???? We discard them because they had different religion??? Because they were Hindus or Budhists ?

On one hand Pakistan claims to be remains of great Indus Valley civilisation. on the other hand disown people who were part of that civilisation.


Like Ashoka or Chanakya ?? Why dont we celebrate Mir Chakar? Why are our heroes Ahmad Shah Abdali ( Afghan) or Mehmood Ghaznwai ( Persian) ?

Sorry not interested in celebrating Mushrikeen. You don't celebrate your days of darkness, the days of Kufr.

Half of Pakistan was never a part of India as a civilisation (i.e. linguistic, cultural, ethnic similarity). It is and always has been aligned with Iran/Persia. KPK, Balochistan and Northern Areas are of Persian/Turkic descent and their languages, food, culture reflect this.

The other half of Pakistan, Punjab and Sindh are close to India, the culture, language, food is similar. However it must be noted that Punjabis form 40% of Pakistan's population whereas only form 1.5% of India's population, so it can be said that Punjabis are a Pakistani ethnic group with an Indian minority. As mentioned earlier, Punjabis and Sindhis are of "Indian origin" and are different to our western countrymen the Pashtuns and Balochs etc.

Under the Pharaohs Egypt was the most powerful state for several milleniums. Under Islam Egypt has been a big zero
No one likes being a zero.

It has nothing to do with Islam. Islam doesn't say loot your country and purchase millions of dollars worth of real estate, art, cars, and boats. Islam doesn't say run a nation to the ground like an imbecile.
You have a few Islamic countries doing well for themselves, so it's not the religion but the locals who decide their fate.

Islam and Islamic world has had its golden age. Currently, Islamic lands are invaded by Anglo-Saxons hence the miseries imposed on Muslims. Muslims and their glory will be revived as soon as they destroy and eliminate Israel the Anglo outpost.

 

[Azadkashmir]

peoples greed and lack of upbringing and understanding of the world not like their are taught history and philosphy. is it any wonder you have thieves like nawaz sharif and zardaris and anglo saxon munirs looting ppl. islam teaches discipline, honesty, be fair.

Under the Pharaohs Egypt was the most powerful state for several milleniums. Under Islam Egypt has been a big zero
No one likes being a zero.

blame muslim themselves if they followed the holy book plus ban usury and move towards barter international. majority of problems will go away.

Let me explain the anomaly with Hindus.

Monotheistic cultures routinely ERADICATED polytheistic predecessors around the world, either through mass conversion or by going full "Cortez" on them as happened with the Aztecs.

The clowns representing Hindustan on this very thread are well aware that their faith exists by virtue of the mercy of monotheistic faiths, quite the anomaly in the subcontinent. One may even argue, had Cortez reached this godforsaken land before bin Qasim, there may not be any Hindus alive now to tell the tale.

Think about it: Egyptians, Greeks/Romans, Norse religions, Druidism in Britain, Babylonians, Assyrians, Aztecs...all gone, completely.

Their faith is literally alive in museums only.

Now you and I both know the elephant herders of the Ganges dodged this particular bullet. Why now should they somehow ride around as the sole outliers in the entire course of civilisational history, pushing their nonsensical agendas on the rest of us, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indian muslims alike?

The whole point of Jinnah's philosophy was to insulate us from their idiotic schemes the moment they seized some semblance of power. Pakistan owns their origin story, their ground zero. This irks them, hence they keep replying to me and others whenever the subject is discussed among Pakistanis. That you are unable to see the practical advantage of this situation is surprisingly short sighted.

Notwithstanding the above narrational, practical, tourism related and financial implications, that Pakistanis chose to evolve down the path of Islam while these people opted for brahminist enslavement should speak volumes in itself. We made better decisions than our eastern neighbours, and the value of that when dealing with these people in all forms of engagement should not be lost on you.

Wow, beautifully explained. I tried to explain the same to a friend of mine but couldn’t quite articulate it the way you did.
