(1/12) i dont know #ImranKhan from his time of cricket. Was too small then to idealize a man. Only time I saw him play was the world cup'1992 final coz me mom was a fan.

My introduction to IK as a personality was when he inaugurated the hospital...

#Pakistan
(2/12) And there on continued. Only one word came to my mind whenever I saw him start something and lead it .."determination" and an undying one. That's because whatever he does, he has a very clear thought of it and that's what his power is.
(3/12) It's a universal fact, when we understand something,is when we know best how to work on its smallest details

But that wasn't what defined IK to me. Definition #ImranKhan is what dawned on me from book I picked only because of it's title,totally unaware to find him there
(4/12) From the cover and title "From MTV to Mecca" seemed like a story of a woman who leaves a glamourous life and reverts to Islam.

I almost always, read prefaces before picking a book, but this one time I hadn't. Thinking back now, I don't think it was a coincidence...
(5/12) #ImranKhan was due to be defined clearly to me, and anyone who reads it.

While expecting to read about an imaam or some miracle (like Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens had) that made Kristiane Baker revert to Islam, it was our very own PM that she has credited to bring to light
(6/12) Not to forget, events are from a time when #ImranKhan was at peak of his non-political fame, and as I hear, a flamboyant man. Throughout the book, she has paid credit to IK for paving her path back to Islam, completely unintentional.
(8/12) She mentions of no preaching, nothing forced, nothing told without being asked. But when asked and told, is when, Baker says, were the most thought provoking and redefining answers she got about life and Islam

This is what defined #ImranKhan to me.
(9/12) At a time when he was figuring out life himself,he was clear of his religious foundations & believed in it without shadow of doubt

We Pakistanis hv witnessed how ALLAH blesses someone,shaped him gradually to become a better human

From wearing brands to becoming a brand
(10/12) What Quaid-e-Azam did for us, remains an unmatched feet

“Few individuals significantly alter the course of history.Fewer still modify the map of the world.Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Muhammad Ali Jinnah did all three” Stanley Wolpert
(11/12) And now what #ImranKhan has done will be etched & read when history of #Pakistan will be told

He collected us back & made us one voice that electrified the skies over Islamabad last night with one Divine & complete instruction from Quran #امربالمعروف
(12/12)From time I read "From MTV to Mecca" years ago,until now it has only become clear and more evident who & what this man on a mission #ImranKhan is. And I have no doubts!

I stand by him & pray for his success!

May ALLAH remain his guide and protect him. Aameen

#Pakistan
