We would've been there if Ayub had stayed for a bit longer or if we had more leaders like him.

Or if he had used Yahya khan and ZAB for target practice.

Consumer spending rockets as poverty shrinks, terrorism drops and democracy holds

This got nothing to do with democracy. We need to delink all the good that is happening in Pakistan with democracy. In its present shape, democracy in Pakistan is nothing but pure evil, a tool of forigen powers to keep Pakistan in perpetual struggle.

Democracy is a factor, and let's face it, it's better than the alternative which for Pakistan is sporadic military rule. Democracies are looked upon more favourably by investors and foreign interests, if that makes us a tool for foreign powers, then it's probably a good thing. And democracy in itself has not caused this, a lot of this consumer growth was happening in the Musharraf years. But democracy if continued properly while being improved, it can and will bring about political stability, which in turn fosters economic stability. And that's what boosts the economy and reduces poverty.

Pakistan would be a completely different nation if we hadn't had such an inept and apathetic ruling class, from corrupt democratic leaders to visionless and opportunistic generals.

Simple answer: First state of Madina, that is the model I look upon.

Look, we all revere early Islamic civilisation for its superior philosophy and form of governance for the time it was in. To say that you simply advocate that sort of organisation at the government level leaves a million and one unanswered questions, and to leave it at that is to deny the reality of the modern world and its complexity.

For example, in your ideal of the first state of Medina, a city state with a constitution. By whatever you might discern from studying it, what political structure would suit Pakistan, a country of nearly 200 million, various provinces, cultures and many cities (not a city state)... Centralised or decentralised authority? Provincial or federal allocation of resources? Would you have a republic, federation, parliamentary system?

One can take inspiration and guidance from the Islamic ideals, but attempting to apply them to the modern context without significant expansion would be bad. Most successful nations on earth got there by having robust and modern political systems, not idealistic ones.

Masha Allah,
happy to read this, May our beloved country develop more.
Corruption and bad governance is still the biggest problem of our nation and required a good leader like Erdoğan.

Now expect an article casting shadow over this reassuring development from Dawn or Express Tribune.
