Pakistan kicked off Fashion Week, a four day event in Karachi, just two hours by plane from primary nesting places for Al Qaeda and the Taliban, last week. The event signified the Nihilism, Opulence and assertion of modernity of Pakistan,
Though loudly applauded and largely acknowledged, Pakistan Fashion Week is a hard and fierce some sting to our social ideology, moreover it more greatly notions an act of insolence against the Islamic teaching which are the founding stone of Pakistan.
In principle Islam has ordained a very specific and vastly responsible role for its women in society. Islam regards her role in society as a mother and a wife as the most scared and essential one. Neither maids nor babysitters can possibly take the mothers place as the educator of upright, complex-free and carefully reared children. Such a noble and vital role, which largely shapes the future of nations, cannot be regarded as “idleness”.
What the Pakistan Fashion Week brings forth into the eyes of the world is a distorted and rather confused and dismal image of Pakistan’s current society. With a large number of female participants viciously dressed in designer-wear, spiked jewelry, exposing tattoos, navels and shoulders the event substantially donates Pakistan’s progress towards a more modernized and western-influenced society and farther from ideal Islamic one. The designer dresses (such as Sonya Battla) represented a mockery of our culture and society values and an emulation of the western civilization.
History testifies that when a community shakes off barbarism and advances towards civilization, its women follow its men as maids and bondwomen. And during their advancement they bestow undue freedom upon the fair sex with the result that latter’s excessive freedom deals a fatal blow at the family life which is the very basis of civilization. More than that it brings in its wake a flood of obscenity, licentiousness and sexual perversion, which ruin the morals of the whole community.
It is not aimed to degrade the thorough and thought out efforts of the designers, however it is intended to pragmatically and prudently denounces the western influence that has raved our minds. These efforts should more coherently be focused on promoting and depicting Pakistan and its society in its most intrinsic and rightfully judged manner.
