Dear readers, it is so unfortunate that I don’t want to do or write anything these days. It might be because of my sickness.

After many days I got an opportunity to watch an interview with a world leader and was surprised how there are leaders with great vision in the Muslim Ummah, but we are not very familiar with them. At first, the content was not much understandable due to a lack of familiarity with the English language. Now we have become so familiar with this language that the content broadcasted and printed in it can be understood, Alhamdulillah.

By the way, it is not possible to watch TV regularly for a long time, and I don’t want to watch the news at all, but sometimes I watch Al-Jazeera or TRT news for a while in the morning so that I can get to know and understand something new. Yesterday too, TRT, a Turkish news channel, was switched on, and a beautiful person was sitting there talking to a scholar, and it was very nice to see him. Their conversation was outstanding, and I thought I might recognize them. After listening for some time, I learned he is the former Crown Prince of Jordan, Hassan Bin Talal.

His interview was fantastic, and I will write a separate article on it.

Prince Hasan Bin Talal may not be recognized by the youth of today. His relationship with Pakistan has also been profound. Sarwat Ikramullah, the youngest daughter of Pakistan’s former foreign secretary Ikramullah, was born in 1947 and received her higher education in Britain. Meanwhile, Prince Hasan was also studying there, so they met there and got married in August 1968. This marriage was also interesting and took place with great fanfare. PTV telecasted this marriage live. The witnesses of the wedding were Field Marshal General Ayub Khan and King Shah Hussain of Jordan himself. The media also gave special coverage to this marriage. It was an atmosphere of celebration all over Pakistan, and Karachi was specially decorated like a bride. The individuals who witnessed this event and are among us now will definitely have complete information about this. Because of this marriage, Prince Hasan had a special attachment to Pakistan and visited the country regularly. He also spoke Urdu. There are no two opinions on the merit of Prince Hassan. He has also received honorary degrees from many universities around the world. He is the author of many books and is a scholar. Masha Allah, his wife, is also a sensible woman. Proficient in English, French and Arabic.

It was great to see him on screen after a long time, and it was great to watch an interesting and informative interview after a really long time. His words were full of positivity. His grasp of history is firm and provides an excellent analysis of the future situation. Although he did not speak openly on politics, the main reason is that Prince Hassan was the crown prince and his elder brother King Hussain was the king at that time. He was the crown prince for many years, and during this time, Shah Hussain had to go to America for treatment. When he returned from America 4 days before his death in 1999, the first thing he did when he arrived was to remove Prince Hassan bin Talal from the crown. He deposed and named his eldest son as crown prince and died a few days later. Prince Hasan showed his understanding and pledged allegiance to his nephew. He was active and primarily engaged in charity work for a long time, but for some time now, he has been living a life of anonymity.

My only request is that the Islamic world is kept deprived of the leadership of a great thinker and a leader with a clear vision. Today, we all know that there is an evident lack of such educated and worldly leaders in the Muslim Ummah. A detailed discussion of why Prince Hassan was not allowed to become the King of Jordan will be discussed some other time, but there is no doubt that he is a sincere and thoughtful leader, and the Islamic world is in dire need of such individuals.
