“Youth & National Character Formation — The True Identity of a Nation”
at Maulana Zafar Ali Khan Foundation Hall.

Orya Maqbool Jan

Dr. Shahida Noumani
Founder &President
Shauoor Welfare Foundation
Orya Maqbool Jan eloquently addressed how nations are built not on land but on ideology, and reminded the audience of the original spirit of Islam and unity. He challenged ethnic divisions like Punjabi, Sindhi, Baloch, and Pashtun identities, calling them barriers to national harmony.
Mustafa Jaan expanded the thought, criticizing how the original two-nation theory is being lost. He emphasized that Pakistan’s foundation was laid on Islamic values of equality, justice, and piety, not honor killings or ethnic pride.
Dr. Shahida Noumani, in her closing remarks, emotionally drew attention to the heartbreaking state of our society:
Abandoned disabled children
Dead bodies with no claimants
The rise of old homes and drug overdose deaths
Loss of dignity, compassion, and character
She said:
“Before we become numb to these horrors, we must awaken our conscience through Shauoor — awareness, dignity, and unity.”
This was not just an event — it was a call to reform, a movement for ideological revival, and a reminder that only through collective awareness and Islamic values, our youth can build a better Pakistan.
