A Thought-Provoking Analysis of Pakistan’s Changing National Issues
Masail e Nau is an important Urdu work by Dr Ghulam Jilani Barq in which he examines the evolving challenges faced by Pakistan after its creation. At the time of independence, the nation confronted a specific set of collective concerns. Years later, the nature of those issues changed significantly. In this revised edition of Masail e Nau, the author removed several earlier essays that had lost relevance and added new writings addressing contemporary realities.

The book discusses a wide range of national and social matters, including student indiscipline, the distance of rulers and leaders from religious values, moral decline, the Kashmir issue, industrial development such as steel production, ineffective educational curricula, the question of national language and script, sectarian tensions during Muharram, and spiritual neglect in society. These topics reflect the pressing concerns of Pakistan during the period in which the book was updated.
Dr Ghulam Jilani Barq approaches these matters with intellectual independence and analytical depth. He does not merely describe problems; rather, he evaluates them in light of moral reasoning and Islamic principles. His discussion encourages readers to think critically about the direction of society and the balance between modern progress and ethical responsibility.
The author also responds to arguments that question religious practices in the name of economic productivity. He firmly maintains that spiritual values, prayer, and moral discipline are not obstacles to progress but foundations of a just and balanced civilization. Through reasoned argument and clear language, Masail e Nau presents a vision of national reform rooted in faith and thoughtful reflection.
