We dbvise surprising tricks to deceive others.
Everyday newspapers tell us heart-rending stories of bry incidents of fraud. In offices, no file moves until the Kkg official gets the “kharcha pani.”
The main cause of this widespread corruption is the lack of contentment. The general restlessness and dearness are the contributing factors in this regard. Everyone in our society is under a constant threat No one is sure what is going to happen next moment. This uncertainty has given rise to this state of affairs
The society that ignores religion fall a prey to condption. If a man who fears God, will never indulge in this act.
The corrupt rulers have forgotten the practices! of Hazrat Umer (RA). He kept awake during the nights and went round the city to see the real situation of his society. Can our rulers or politicians show this type of character?
We have to make our people true Muslims in order to curb the corruption. Only our religion can guarantee the purity of body and soul. It teaches us the lesson of simplicity contentment. If everyone becomes gentle and considerate, there will be no corruption at ail. For this purpose, we should learn to have a trial of our own selves. This is the only way to check this social evil.
