The purpose of this article is to investigate the idea of civic engagement and Islamic ethos in the context of Pakistan. Since Pakistan’s society and concept about citizenship are based on the premise of religious nationalism, therefore, Islam forms the basis of people’s perceptions and belief of public life. There has been a lot of change in the conceptions of societies throughout the world after modernization and large-scale spread of scientific and technological knowledge. Several nations have redesigned their lifestyle in the wake of modern sciences as they realize the significance of new discoveries and innovative advancements. Ethical value of religious teachings stands as a reality. However, change is always the order of the day. The peoples accepting change manage to sustain with success and dignity. Accordingly, an increasing emphasis on social change and development, human rights and democratic values, combined with declining performance of successive governments in public service delivery, demands a well-informed public splinted and engaged citizenry in Pakistan. In the contemporary world civic engagement is about promoting the quality of life in a community in a real term rather than as symbolic values. The various successive governments in Pakistan have failed to address this issue. In a true context whether we take Islamic or the western perception, the welfare of the people is the corner stone of governance which demands a very realistic balance between the concepts of people and the principles of management of public life.
