People seek welfare through Quran

Why common people are not happy with administration system and which kind of socio-economic, health and educational system they want to get their problems solved?
Anybody, particularly a leader who asserts, espouses the cause of masses, can find answer by interacting with them patiently and think of their welfare selflessly. What one learnt from visits to various localities and mosques on the first of the holy month of Ramazan is significant: Citizens, especially of middle, lower middle and poor, want a society based on principles laid down in the Holy Quran. A majority of them agree to the view that people, literate or semi-literate, should read and study the Quran with clear mind, and act upon the message of Almighty God as was done by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for the benefit of all humans.
Ordinary citizens feel hit by soaring prices of what they want for themselves and their children, for example, wheat flour, vegetables, milk, fruit, fuel, electricity, clothes and shoes etc. Their grievances relate to children's education, health-care and squalid and overcrowded 'mohallas' and colonies in the twin cities.
Scarcity of clean drinking water is horrible while sewerage system has not improved yet; flies and mosquitoes seem on good terms with the civic bodies. Similarly, medicine business is thriving while the medical man is taking full advantage of the semi-literate and poor citizens who believe in cure by magic.
The common people say sometimes they feel disturbed mentally, and they pray to God for help. It is in discussion after the Friday prayers that they recall some verses of the Quran, sayings of the Prophet (PBUH) and speeches and Eid messages of the founder of Pakistan.
Some basic questions are raised: Why struggle was waged for a new homeland for Muslims? Why feudalism and capitalism have not been replaced by the welfare system when the new state was achieved in the name of Islam? And why masses are still being exploited by landlords.
Citizens psychologically get heartened when some participants of discussion emphasize the need for studying the Quran, particularly Surah Al-Baqarah, for getting rid of miseries caused by evils like injustice, nepotism, bribery, corruption, hoarding and black-marketing etc. Understanding of the Quran will help evolve a welfare society as ordained by Almighty God.
