President Arif Alvi's tweet creates huge controversy

[ShaikhKamal]

President of Pakistan Dr. Arif Alvi who have studied Dentistry in United States have quoted Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while tackling the subject of Pakistani students stuck in China. Dr Arif Alvi as a medical doctor should now that these Pakistani students could be kept in isolation and tested for symptoms. Pakistan could have evacuated all students and brought them to a isolated military base and kept them for 14 days to monitor their symptoms. Now twitter is criticizing Pakistan and especially President Arif Alvi. It seems that now even PTI has lost ground reality and not realising what damage they are doing to the reputation of Pakistan. Now is the time to act and bring back all the Pakistanis from China.

"Prophet's ﷺ directions regarding disease outbreaks are a good guide even 2day “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it, but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place” (Bukhari & Muslim) Let us help those stuck there."

 

[Valar.]

I support my President.

 

[Syed1.]

Not bringing back students is the right move

 

[khail007]

The guidelines of our Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) is above all - president is right.

 

[Yaseen1]

i think not bringing back is not any problem but not supporting these students financially and medically is major problem with govt as in viral video these students were claiming that they have no money and food for living in china and are left along and disowned by govt which is very bad attitude.
Our major problem is that we follow partial teachings of Islam when they supports our own interests and disregard other teachings which not align with our personal interests

They went to China on self-finance a few on scholarships. Pakistani gov should take care but saying they have no food and money is bullcrap.

 

[Yaseen1]

wuhan is sealed by chinese forces so logistic supply of food and other necessaries is very restricted there which shows that there is some weight in students claim

[FuturePAF]

President Alvi and Prime Minister Khan should send supplies for the students or at least in their name but then also make a video directly to them, asking them to be strong, show courage and have patience.

Are there any reports of any Pakistanis in China being infected with the Virus?

Dear Yaseen bhai most of the students receive money through Western Union. It has many branches all over China in different banks including in Wuhan and they are still open you can check.

So I'm supposed to worry about the ignoramous crowd on twitter or the world has to say about a topic that we have clear guidelines for to follow in Islam?

Are you too insecure of a person in general who is too worried about what others have to say?

 

[Sheikh Rauf]

Its a right way to do plus china is supporting our students embassy is also in contact with them..
People who says bring them here lets say one person who are infected and is in isolation what cud we do to him when we dont have any vaccine or proper treatment.
What if his virus activate after 15 days do we have enough resources to stop this epidamic like china controlling it.. it will simply wipe out poor and sick people..
They are our citizens and we will bring them back but its not a right time.

 

[SQ8]

It was the smart move to not bring them back until it was ensured that they do not have the coronavirus.

Our government displayed pretty good judgement despite all the emotional morons going against it because its people like that who also claimed the TTP and Swat Taliban to be brothers.

Emotional and not informed decisions will destroy Pakistan as they wreck Pakistani society in general anyway.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Every nation is taking precautions, warning their citizens and taking care/bringing back their citizens. Only the Pakistani circus freaks use a hadis to support their inability and lackadaisical attitude toward their helpless citizens.

Our students can be brought back and kept at a military base and cared for by doctors wearing hazmat suits. Like one member suggested.

This is not one situation where our government/foreign office left Pakistanis alone. Pakistani businessmen who married Uighur women were also met with same attitude.

 

[Dalit]

We support the president. No doubt.

As for the RSS lunatics and their Mullah brothers on our side, we don't care.

We should know when to apply a ruling, Islam is all about hikmat. So, in this case if we dont have expertise then we should follow this hadith otherwise we can follow our own way.
Remember that there is a hadith in which our prophet PBHU asked us not to follow every word of his in non-religious matters. Also, companions would ask prophet PBUH about his statements that is it your opinion or revelation? in the first case they would give their own opinion decide according to voting (e.g. ghazwa Uhud) and in the latter (revelation) case they would just follow him.
