News about ‘Subh-e-Pakistan’ also secured universal acclaim on the most reliable portal of global news, Google News. The launch of ‘Subh-e-Pakistan’ has become top trending news, and the morning show remained in the category of Pakistan’s top trends continuously for many hours.

The social media is continuously presenting moment-to-moment updates on Pakistan’s number one morning show. These updates include pictures, news items, articles, essays and all the reports and comments appearing in the international media.

Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain, who is known for having introduced new yardsticks of popularity in the Pakistani media, has rendered millions of his viewers spellbound. With the gift of the gab and with his elegant manner of hosting the show, the host has gained the love and admiration of the people. ‘Subh-e-Pakistan’ has hugely impressed not only people at the national level but at the global level so much so that not only Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s fans but his critics as well do not want to miss any episode of the programme.

The episode telecast the other day focused on an important issue of social significance, a young man marrying an older woman and the objections that some people have against such a union. People’s feedback on the episode and the topic it discussed was overwhelming, with the people saying that the topic discussed was something that a majority of households come across.

On the occasion, Allama Kaukab Noorani Okarvi, chief of the Sawad-e-Azam Ahle Sunnat Haqiqi and the Maulana Okarvi Academy International, with his eloquent speech, said that Islam does not forbid a young man marrying an older woman. He lamented over the fact that unfortunately people ignore religious guidance and rely on the unauthentic trends prevalent in the social order. Such naivety results in unnecessary confusions.

Allama Kaukab Noorani Okarvi said that a common observance is that men usually want to marry younger women, and an exception to the rule is found only in the cases in which a young man who happens to be financially unstable agrees to marry an older woman if she happens to be rich. He said that this is a very selfish thing to do, which takes one away from the teachings of the religion.

Meanwhile, the eminent religious scholar congratulated the host of Subh-e-Pakistan for the programme’s tremendous beginning.

In the following segment of the programme, a young man, Mazhar, who is seven years younger than his wife, Khalida, told the host on the programme that their respective families were not very comfortable over the proposition, but the couple did not heed their objections because they knew that religion does not bar any such marriage.

Najma, who runs a marriage bureau, said on the programme that every woman wants a very young girl to be her son’s bride.

A dermatologist, Dr Jawed Alam Farooqi, said on the programme that he receives a lot of older women with the request that they want a prescription which can make them look younger.

Astrologist Samia Khan said on the programme that couples are made in the heaven.

A stage drama on the programme’s main topic was also telecast during the episode.
