Pakistan came into being as a truly democratic Islamic state,she was once a state with strong economy, stable government and policies. The golden principles of peace, liberty, and justice were preserved in its basic idea which led to the creation of an independent state. But regrettably the coming generation failed to implement the vision of forefathers. The garden full of flowers is now become bunch of thorn, which requires cleansing and reformation. The current menace of extremism predicates on weak institutions, unstable political system, social injustices and economic turmoil. To counter all, there is a need to have strategies in every sphere of life. The current research article argues that ideological, political, social and economic reforms are immediately required as nation's response to take Pakistan out of the current fiasco and resort to basic principles of justice, equality, and freedom as enshrined in all religions and more so in Islam.
