Happy Birthday Quaid ...

25 Dec. every year make people happy across the world. Christmas make Christians happy as its their religious festival and liberals for their broadmindedness and habit of celebrating almost every event irrespective of religion and country. I think that's the effect of global world kind of philosophies.

Pakistani nation also celebrate this day for its national importance that the founder caravan of Pakistan was led by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah - the man whose birth made this date special and important for Pakistan. But the continues efforts of "some powers" have been succeed to achieve the goal.

A time was there when people tell the stories of their great Quaid to their kids to celebrate the day, so the generation knew about the sacrifice their ancestors made to get a free country for them to practice the Islamic teachings without any restriction. But today's age is so fast and surrounded by technology, that people don't have time for their kids. Sending them to schools and couching centers seems to be their only responsibility in the name of education. The kids are even confused about the date that is 25th Dec is birth or death anniversary of Quaid-eAzam. They don't know anything about his life and the worst thing is they themselves are not interested in knowing about their legendary leader.

A survey reports that Kids always need heroes to make their mentor and follow them, so Europe on this account despite all of their differences came together and made heroes for them. They changed names of Muslim legends, scientists, scholars and all the other Muslim entities into their language despite the fact that names remains same in every language i-e "Jibraeel" changed to Gabriel, "Yaqoob" changed to Jacob, "Arastoo" changed to Aristotle

They wanted to make heroes of their own from history, but when they didn't got enough they portrayed bad men as the good ones i-e killer of millions of people made "Alexander - The Great"

Its point to think that if kids need heroes and if we are not fulfilling this need ... who is doing it for Muslims and Pakistani children? Look around, analyze the media, check the syllabus books of your kids, and specially behaviors of your kids and youth. They are not happy about their leader birth anniversary - they are happy for getting a holiday. They don't know about their leader's life but they know everything about the showbiz personalities, they are confused about the birth and death dates of leaders but they know its Christmas on 25 Dec. 

Muslim children, youth and even elders are greeting everyone for Christmas to make fun for time being but very few remembered that its birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam. Much fewer told the stories of his life to their kids and make them feel that its not only Christmas today.

I want to say "Happy Birthday my Quaid" and I hope that one day the whole nation will say you that again and remember you as the mentor and hero, and know every part of your life, and follow you again. 

I wish that one day come soon.

میرے کچھ پھول زخمی ہیں

From now on I'll imagine red stians on my uniform

I'm a Garrisonion, and I always used to cherish  memories of my school and college life. I still have all my school and college ID cards, uniform, house badges and sashes as a pride or I think anything belong to Pakistan army is always a pride even just the name "Army Public School" "Azam Garrison"

When I watch any kid going school in uniform of Army school or resembling to that, my own uniform flashes to my mind and bring a smile on my face. But today's incident (16 Dec, Peshawar attack) has changed the color of my own uniform in my mind. It turned red with blood stains, I'm feeling so restless since I've heard the news. 

I'm feeling like all of this is happening to me right now. All the injured and martyr kids are my close friends, I've studied, played and shared moments with them. I want all of them alive and happy with me in ground. That green playground where we used to be daily in morning assembly prayers and recite the National anthem with full loud voices, that ground has also turned red with screaming of injured kids. Those red and white class rooms where I always used to grab the seat just in-front of the teacher, but walls of those class rooms are now riddled with bullets.

My memories are gonna change forever. From now on I'll imagine red stains on my uniform.

The only crime of those children was that they were the families of the bravest people of this nation even of this world. And I wanna say that those TTP men who attacked them are the most coward people of the world, and they should stop calling themselves Muslims, as Muslims are not allowed to attack the innocents even if they are from the enemy we are having battle with. What TTP is doing is not Islam. If they are really working for Allah and what they are doing is Jihad plus they have guts - they must come out from their hideouts and face the real force of Pakistan, the Pakistan army. And leave their kids and families

Pain and Pleasure - 16 Dec

16 Dec - A date that every year brings different emotions to two parts of the Asian region belongs to same single nation (Muslim are one nation). A feel of pleasure, happiness and independence for Bangladesh and a sense of pain, sadness and loosing to Pakistan. 

This is really a dilemma that mistakes rather crimes of rulers fall us apart from each other and we are at so much distance that memories of sufferings of one is the real happiness for the other.

I want to say that what happened then is history, harsh, bitter and true history and history can't be changed. But what's going on now is not history, its present and present is a gift, we can change it by efforts and prayers. So let's change the history of hatred into present of love and friendship.

If we can have "Aman ki Aasha" with the forever enemy country like India. Why we can't have a "Mohabat ki Aasha" with our very own brother's country Bangladesh? Let's start with a new beginning of brotherhood.

Hey! I got friends

Facebook is considered the biggest social networking site, where people interact with many different persons and make new friends. New friends from different cities and different countries have conversations and know about each other very often, talking to someone you don't know is sometime good enough to make people friends more than usual facebook chatters. But these people never ever imagine to meet and talk face to face like normal friends.

But that wasn't normal day - that was Ijtama-e-Aam by Jamaat-e-Islami at Minar-e-Pakistan. 

Let me mention first that Jamaat-e-Islami has a huge facebook family, and Ijtama beside training was a family gathering for workers. And almost all of them managed to meet each other there. Although it was funny to wait for meeting the people we have never seen before, I always hesitate to meet new people, but still was waiting for my facebook friends. 

Finally the day came, here comes the first from list. I was in social media camp women wing, a lady came and asked about me from someone else, and when I met her I was like 

"O My God! All the time chatting with her, I thought she was a little aged (but she was pretty young women)" :)

Talking with her while sitting close to her and watching her smile and laughing together was fun. And she was not the only one. 

There was another famous cleric from facebook women community,and was right in-front of me in veil, my in-charge asked me "Have you met Asra Ghauri?" I said "no, not yet" and she says "Meet na" I was like "Shazia Baji I'll meet her but she has to reach here first, how can I meet someone who is not present at the moment" She smiled a little and introduced me to that lady.

"Asra, this is Arisha" :)

Asra Ghauri took a step, greeted and hugged me and I was thinking What am I doing? complaining about the absence of a person just in-front of her plus I had told one or two ladies just before that, Asra wasn't there. And the fun part is, by her Abaya and veil she was looking a comparatively young lady but later I found out that her daughter is also fully grown up girl.

Then I met another and another and another ... and list goes on. Ijtama was really a family gathering which gives us more friends besides the deep lessons.

I enjoyed each and every moment of those three days - being busy, working without realizing that lunch time is over, having conversation with people I don't know (I normally don't speak much), walking from one end of the ground to another many times a day and saying I'll never go there again and forgetting my own words and going there for another piece of work, performing double duty,decorating stage of rising youth and running short of safety pins, having new arrivals in our camp as ladies were more than imaginations and preparations :)

I don't often miss thing but I'm missing Ijtama-e-Aam and looking forward to next one.

The Devil Man of Columbia

Devil Man - Caim Motris

There was a time when people likes to be among the good and noble people of the society or at-least try to look like them, but time has changed the priorities. Looking different - if mean to look like imaginary "Satan" is OK with the society now. 

Body modification, piercing and tattoos are the type of modern fashion and body arts very common in west and making way in east. It is considered illegal and forbidden in Islam by most of the religious scholars so Muslims remains stay away from these type of fashions mostly.

Ibne Umar (R.A) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) cursed the makers and wearer of wig, and the tattooer and the one who tattooed. (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

Well, western people use to modify their bodies to  look different, and sometimes at extreme level that they wear metal in kilograms and whole of their bodies carry colors. The most extreme passion of doing something different with this art is seen in Columbia.

A 42 years old man from Columbia, Caim Motris spent 11 years modifying his body. He tattooed not only skin but his eyeballs too, implanted multiple horns and pierced his face. And his new look after the efforts of 11 years is like the image of devil. His tattoos carries the particular "Satanic" signs, and he is now known as the devil man. 

His Catholic family rejected the man in devil's look and Caim moved to Mexico. He got training and started his career as DJ in Halloween this year (2014). He was the only person who didn't need any special horror make-up and costume to be at the party. 

After reading the news, I was thinking how much blessed we are as Muslims, and we have the complete guidance in form of Islam in every field of life that Allah has never left a single point of confusion for us. Allah has completely designed this religion according to the nature of human being, and forbid us from giving unnecessary pain to our bodies. A lovely religion from a lovely Creator for His beloved creation.

Date my Sister

Most of the women's rights voices of Muslims ladies are being raised from the west, who portray as the Muslim Women are the most oppressed and deprived creatures of the Muslim world - and if west will not try to give them their rights, they'll not get any. 

The internet world has grown so much vast that we can get everything beside some exceptions. eBay is a shopping site where people sell and buy things, anyone can advertise its product by putting an ad on the website and people can contact the seller to purchase.

Now here is an ad from a British guy on eBay - the shopping website, for the auction of his sister

Ad for sister's auction

The seller brother has given the body details of her sister in the ad and demanded some qualities in the man come to buy her time. Auction starting bid was given by the brother that was 50 pounds. This is the value of a lady in West, the so called human rights fort. Now the highest price payer will purchase the girl. 

And no one in this world can stop them because the girl herself wants to be sold out. I think the whole world has to redefine the meaning of human rights and specially women's rights, or I'll say West just needs to know about women rights from Muslims because they don't know about rights at all.

Islam gives the highest value to mother, higher to sister, equal to wife and make the daughter a key to Jannah for men. Muslim women spend their lives like Queens in their homes. Islam teaches men to handle women with care and love and they have given the name "Qawareer" by our beloved Prophet (PBUH). A Muslim lady is loved and protected by her family, not sold or auctioned.

Blood spillers promotion

Genocide is a word known for its brutality, in-human, heinous crime of killing innocent common people of any nation, and when we, Pakistani pronounce this word, our brothers, sisters and children from Palestine flashes in our minds bathing in their own blood.

Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a Muslim country included in the list of countries who still don't recognize Israel a separate country but we call them Zionist invaders. 

But .... 

Same country has a Saudi funded and administered university which is known with an Islamic name i-e International Islamic University Islamabad, which organized a cultural promotion stall for Israel including Israeli cuisine, modals and photo montage showing Israel in Pakistan.

Faculty of Management Sciences (FMS) is responsible for the Model United Nations (MUN) event in which this stall was arranged, under Saudi supervision.

Saudi Arabia - The country of the beloved Prophet (PBUH) who is loved and respected by Muslims at extreme levels, but do Muslims really following Him and His teachings besides loving Him? Because His teachings says that 

"All the Muslim across the world are like a body, if one part is hurt - the whole body feels the pain"

Muslims from all across the world consider Saudi Arabia as the leader of Muslim world, as we perform Hajj there and "Fatwa's" from Imam-e-Kaaba are considered the last words regarding any issue. People from such a respected country allows cultural exhibition of a killer nation in an Islamic country with a caption which states that

"Welcome to the land of peace and property"

 How the hell they forgot the blood of innocent Muslims of Palestine, Gaza, where around 1500 children were being killed by Zionists, so that they don't stand up against this so called peaceful nation in future.

Is this really fall in the category of following our Prophet (PBUH) or even loving Him, when we promote the killers of His followers in the other areas of earth.

A stall can't hurt anyone but Israel - Saudi Arabia - Pakistan - International Islamic University Islamabad and Muslim administration is the link that is causing unbearable pain in every true Muslim's heart. 

Pre-Ijtama preparations JIP

Having a mega event in city and knowing that you are going to host it, boost up the energy level and work potential eventually.

Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan (JIP) is going to have "Ijtama-e-Aam" in Lahore on 21, 22, 23 Novemberat Minar-e-Pakistan. I reached Mansoora for a youth program meeting and also got a chance to be in Lahore administration team meeting for sometime. I got there in evening, around Maghrib"

Its interesting that when we ask about time, generally we get answers like its 06:00 o'clock, 07:00 o'clock but in Jamaat circle, its normal till 12:00 pm and after that time changes name, its called as "Zohar time", "After Zohar", "Before Asar", and so on till " After Fajr"

So, I got there after "Maghrib" and the team was still there sitting, discussing, finalizing the promotional activities, and was looking really exhausted, but still forcing there bodies and minds to work.

Every body and every mind need relaxation after working for couple of hours, its natural but those ladies were working from morning till night and this routine was continuing since several days. We can imagine the work load and all the tension, burden, tiredness and exhaustion come with responsibility .

I was expecting that there bodies will give up in sometime but they started to freshen up, not by water but the by the dew of their own refreshing fun talks. That day I knew about having fun and being decent at the same time. They all coming from  different backgrounds were looking like a family. A family that volunteer together, work together, laugh together, have fun together, help together and even shed tears together, be a part of each others life. 

Well I hope day, night working make that coming training gathering a successful event, and all the exhausted people get a long rest :)

Tears of earth vs Tahir Ashrafi

"Maulana" Tahir Ashrafi Chairperson All Pakistan Ulema Council

Last day facebook updates were showing Tahir Ashrafi on every page and group, it was a video of a man who seems to be drunk and giving a statement (live), and that was not an ordinary man, he chairs an important seat in Pakistan and that is chairmanship of All Pakistan Ulema Council. After watching the video, a scene from a novel was recollected by my mind.

Recently I read an Urdu novel "Zameen ke Ansoo" (English = Tears of Earth)

Novel was about two issue, Swearing without thinking (as in anger) and more important 2nd issue was religious leaders planted in Muslim societies who are not Muslims themselves but claim to be, or who are Muslim but trapped by the organized devils to work for them (Muslims with weak believes or knowledge).

Lead character Ahmed Raza was a guy wanted to be famous and wealthy, to lead a luxurious ideal life. He goes to some religious scholar with his University friend and got impressed by that scholar and the scholar was the face and mouth piece of western devils, who claimed to be a prophet in the story. How story goes on is another matter to discuss but the point I'm going to put here is that Ahmed Raza became the head assistant of that fake prophet (called "Jan'nasheen"). On the occasion of official announcement of his assistance in press conference, He was also drunk on-camera and statements were being fed by the people standing behind him. He didn't know what was going on, and than all black, he was asleep, When he got up and saw the newspaper, he was shocked.

I don't know if there is any similarity in Ahmed Razi's character, and Tahir Ashrafi. But I know that talking about Quran and Sunnah is a common link besides being drunk.

Too much criticism after that video clip shown on Journalist Mubashar Lucman's TV show (and goes viral on social media) Ulema Council woke up and gave statement in favor of the so called "Maulana" and the statement was "He was having a Meetha Paan while talking to Geo News"

Justification By Pakistan Ulema Council

I'm not a fan of Bollywood but I'll thank that industry for making us aware that how a drunk person speak and how a person speak when he's eating something, specially "paan" (as we are Muslims and we are not allowed to have liquor). Antagonists of the Indian movies often speak while having "paan" in their mouths, and they also have movie scenes when a drunk man speak. 

I'll say that Nation is not stupid, so "Pakistan Ulema Council" please don't give such lame excuses for the crimes you commit. And lets accepts this absurdity for a moment, I want to ask you that who in this world goes live on TV camera to give a statement with a "Meetha Paan"? 

I request you Tahir Asharfi, do whatever you want to - but don't be a disguised face, stop being called "Maulana" as your Un-Islamic deeds are raising Questions over the whole Character of our beloved religion Islam

If Scots can, Why Kashmiris can't?

Malala! Noble? Prize?

Malala Yousufzia with a name and face of Pakistan and a heart and mind of Europe. War has gone to some other limits these days (21st century). Media and conspiracy theories are giving birth to human weapon across the world (the most destructive weapon ever invented)

Human weapon - people of a nation (or the other), used to defame any country or nation. This weapon cause a lot more lose to the victim than any tank or bullet.

Now-a-days, Islam and Muslims are considered the collective enemy of all the Non-Muslim countries or nations around the world, and all these type of human weapons are being used against us, specially Pakistan as its the only Islamic Nuclear Power of the world.

Weapon like Osama Bin Laden, Ajmal Kasab, Mukhtaran Mai, Hamid Mir, Shazia Khalid along with Malala Yousufzai. Some of them are portrayed as bad Muslim characters or I'd say terrorists, who love violence and victims are always innocents. Some of them are good characters but the victims of violence, and because Muslims aren't willing to have any concern about them, so they are picked up by any European country, most of the time its U.S to create a hype against Islamic countries and to present them different awards to show their own so called generosity to the world forgetting about the crime rate of their own land.

And surprisingly, all the connection of any such incident directly or indirectly are linked with the strongest army of this world - Pakistan Army.

Well I'll talk about Malala Yousufzai here, recently youngest ever noble peace prize holder (09-Oct-2014)

I heard the news and thought that its not unexpected, as she was also nominated in 2013, anyway I wanted to know what has she done for peace in this world to get a prize for, and I wondered to know that she have done "NOTHING" for peace.

But yes, if we exempt the word of 'peace' she has done a lot, She started  all that melodramatic story with an attack allegedly by Taliban. With her some other girls also got bullets in their bodies but west don't care about them, because to proceed a story, only one lead is required and that lead girl was Malala.

She was injured or not, had enough treatment or not, her life was under threat or not? That is completely another subject to discuss. But what's important is that she had to choose.

She had to choose between two, first, stay in Pakistan, praise Pakistan army for being there for her, to save her life, and get love and respect from the messes of Pakistan. And, the second option was to speak against the bravest army Pakistan, get out of the country to settle overseas, get a luxurious life, awards for her and wealth for her family and get the hatred of Pak patriots. 

She chose.... I don't know whether a wise choice or not, but she has gone for second one. She chose to be the puppet and I'll say international puppet of west against Islam and Muslims specially Pakistan, and got a noble prize for this choice. 

BBC News reported that "Awards didn't make hysterical breaking news marathon" in Pakistan Media, and that in the home town of Malala "Mingora", it was a quite Friday, no celebrations at all. Tariq Khattak editor of "Pakistan Observer" (newspaper) stated that

"Its political decision and a conspiracy, She is a normal useless type of a girl, 

nothing special at all. She is selling what west will buy"

And I think most of the true Pakistanis including me agree with the editor. She is just a new weapon, or a new product in western policy market against Muslims.

Than why should Pakistan celebrate it? She is not that much important to us plus we are busy in educating the real patriotic Malala's of Pakistan, and they are the real noble prizes for Nation. Our beloved army is also busy in saving Malala's out there, from being victims of CIA, RAW, and MOSSAD funded Taliban.

Pak media funding Indian violence against Pak

Pakistani people and Pakistani media both are funding cross border unprovoked violence against Pakistan, and blood of killed innocents is on our hands.

Shocked??

Patriotic Pakistanis just think about it....

Lets start with the film industry, every year Pakistani Cinemas are loaded with Indian films, can you imagine how much revenue they generate just from one film, alot more than we think. The recent movie from India "Bang Bang" and movie from Pakistan "O21" made the news that 

"Bang Bang beats Pak-superstar at home soil"

I think we know the meaning of this statement that not only Pakistani people love to watch Bollywood content but more than our own, plus single movie made 128.03 crore rupees out of Pak-people pockets, imagine that how much we are paying to India every year - and that's not all.

Here's some more, around 50 TV shows of India had been and are being telecast on Pakistani TV channels. Beside the fact that these TV shows are causing immense harm to our ethnic, social and cultural values, these are also earning trillions for Indian economy. Harm don't stop here, private TV channels are giving their prime time t0 Indian, Turkish and Spanish content, demoralizing & discouraging Pakistani producers, directors and artistes of TV industry.

Talking about prime time advertisements are biggest reality. Prime time ads earns highest of the day for channels and guess what? Ads are also carrying India content and celebrities.

For free? Of-course not.

Here is another news 

"India becomes biggest foreign buyer of US weapons"

India with total defense import of $5.9 billion, became the most enthusiastic buyer from the US, and India remains world's largest buyer of weapons by huge margin. So we think all that budget for armor shopping comes from the tax of poor people's land, who themselves are spending their lives much below than poverty line set internationally. It is estimated by the planning commission of India itself that 269.3 million people remain spending their lives below poverty line fixed on the basis of Tendulkar Methodology, according to that poverty line fixed as Rs. 22.42 per person per day in rural areas and Rs. 28.65 for urban areas.

Now can we think they will be able to pay such huge taxes from this much low income, and concern more about that where so much weapons have to be used.

Here is last thing I want to ask you that remember last week firing, LoC violation by India, killing of innocent Pakistanis, spilling our blood and than Indian PM says that Pakistan is responsible for border tension between both the countries.

I think he told the truth "Pakistan is responsible for these killing" by funding for this bloodshed, and its not just media - its market also.

Now can we feel the innocent blood on our hands? Still not, Why? because we don't belong to media Industry? Well! I have heard some scholar says that silence is bigger crime than real crime.

Do we know what silence of nation have done, its giving a message to the world and our own leaders that we agree over what's going on, its giving message to our media that we prefer Indian content over the blood of our own Muslim brothers. Its spreading the words that we are coward or that we don't care about nation but only ourselves, its proving that we are traitors to our own race, our own nation, our own country and our very own Muslim family.

Now can we feel the innocent Pakistani Muslims blood on our hands?

Feeling? Than stop being silent from now on, report to Pemra and govt to legislate against showing foreign content on our TV channels, ask them to do responsible journalism instead of "Lifafa" journalism. Ask them that we want to know about what's happening in Muslim world (with Kashmiris, Palestinians, Egyptians, Bangladeshis, Turkish, and our own country Pakistan) and we don't want to know about the birthdays, marriages and health conditions of Indian celebrities. 

English phobia in Pak - Urdu phobia in US

Urdu and Arabic are fastest growing languages in US according to CIS

English phobia is the most common disease in Pakistan spreading at highest ratio in Pakistan in current decade and patients consider themselves some supernatural creature or out of this worlds because they consider themselves superior than normal Human beings speak Urdu (National language of Pakistan) but ironically Americans are also suffering from a language phobia other than English and guess what??

With other languages they are going through Urdu and Arabic phobia :)

Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) revealed in its survey report that Urdu and Arabic are the fastest growing languages in America which are spoken at home by Americans (both natives and immigrants). 20% Americans that means 61.8 million residents don't speak English.

After reading the news story I was thinking that why Pakistanis always take up 2nd hand things, even language fashion. When their own language is trending in US they are happy by adopting old fashioned language (English). 

No doubt internet world is still open completely for those who can understand English, but I am concerned about those, who speak English where its not needed. 

People use to speak it in-front of those who can't understand it well and be impressed by the speaker (I think if they'll talk in Urdu, people will not only be impressed by them but also will love them) 

People use to speak it to show off that they are educated (and I think that speaking in Urdu with logic and information can also prove that you are educated)

People use to speak it to address national issues like parliamentarian even though they don't speak English well but they do speak some written words which sometimes they themselves don't understand and fumble a lot in uttering those given words (and I think addressing in Urdu (national language) can have much more effect and easily understood by nation) 

People use to speak it to be in list of moderns (and I think Urdu is modern than English, because according to dictionary modern means present day things or newer things, well English is originated in 5th century AD and Urdu is far newer than that as it is originated after Muslims arrival in India) 

All the formal speeches (including parliament, senate, oath taking ceremonies, business groups, educations institutes, media, judiciary) in Pakistan are delivered in English although our national language is Urdu (I think formal addresses should strictly be in Urdu)

By the way reader can object that writer of an English blog is supporting Urdu and criticizing English speakers but I will say English speakers also don't want to read something in Urdu (I think that reading only English material also a part of adopting English fashion, and making them know something is not easy in Urdu medium so I chose English for that.) or I'll say inferiority complex is going beyond limits.

Yes, its inferiority complex in people generated by world think tanks in commons and VIPs of our nation, that's the reason they don't trust themselves and waste all their potential, time, energy and talent in learning and speaking English. By spending whole their lives in this task they think that they succeed, but they should know one thing that foreign language stops the thinking process (a person thinks in his mother tongue), and if they think that they succeed they are wrong, they are not able to think because they have thrown away the tool of thinking.

Think, and be more modern and fashionable, speak Urdu and promote it :)

Congress for first Haj ever - Cuba

Haji from Cuba :)

Five dear Muslim brothers from Cuba performed pilgrim (Haj) this year for the first time ....

Cuba - This country lies in south of United States. For the first time in Ramazan of 2014, Muslims of Cuba got a Prayer leader, religious scholar and offered "Taraveeh" prayers in a marriage hall as there is no mosque in this particular area of land.

And in this same year (2014) five Cuban bothers reached Saudi Arabia and performed Haj as guests of King Abdullah.

I wanted to say congratulations to our all five pioneer Muslim brothers of Cuba and I was thinking that Is this for Cuba team that this year Haj was on Friday? Is this Allah honoring and rewarding them with "Haj-e-Akbar"? (as it is claimed that Haj on Friday is called as Haj-e-Akbar although most of the scholars says that all the Haj are called Haj-e-Akbar and only Umra are called as Haj-e-Asghar)

Difference of opinion lies forever but this sticks to my mind that after so many years a Haj on Friday is really a blessing or I would say a rewarding shield to honor the Cuba Muslims for making efforts as trend setters are always the brave people of society who are ready to take first step and adopters of the society follow them. They are the leaders, and I hope rest of the Cuban Muslims will follow them from now on, and will join brothers and sisters from around the world every year. 

Brothers! 

Nation is proud of you :) and when I say Nation its doesn't mean people live in Cuba, it means Muslim Nation (Muslims from whole world)

Congratulations again

Alcohol ban bill rejected by Muslims

Read a news story today about rejection of Alcohol ban bill moved by a Christian MNA (with four other Non-Muslim MNAs + 12 Muslim MNAs) of Pakistan assembly, and more surprisingly rejected by Muslim MNAs.

Shock is really not a word to use in Pakistan now, because nothing bad from our rulers is shocking now, every time we feel that its worst of all they have ever done. They prove us wrong by bringing another worst in line. 

Anyway bill moved to ban alcohol for non-Muslims too in country moved in assembly and rejected by Muslims we sent in parliament as our representatives. They have given an excuse (they this is a good one), that this ban will earn bad name to the country.

And I was thinking ...

They (rulers, political parties, common people, terrorists, media) have already earned enough bad name to the country in regard of corruption, blame game, dishonesty, terrorism, treason. Is there really any bad name left to earn still, or Its just an excuse ....

I remembered Australia banning head scarf in their country and our rulers claiming, that's their internal legislation matter, and nobody can do anything about this. Because France was not an Islamic state so they can make laws whatever they think is right for the nation. Was that really an internal matter and nobody could have done anything about this or Its just an excuse ....

If its accepted that legislation is totally internal matter, than nobody around the world can object on the laws made for the betterment of Pakistan by its own parliament, will it bring bad name or Its just an excuse ....

Doctor's around the world are scientifically proving alcohol injurious to health, and advising people (Non-Muslims) to avoid drinking as it can bring great health sufferings in their lives, and most of the time these doctors are also non-Muslims themselves. As a ruler of the state if you are conscious about health of your people and any polio campaign doesn't earn a bad name for country how can alcohol consumption prevention earn that, or its just an excuse ....

Alcohol ban Bill copy

Death - I don't want to believe the fact

11 Sep. 2014 - I was working in my office when my mobile phone vibrated, it was an sms. First, I thought that I'll see that in Lunch break as I was in hurry to complete my office work. But than unintentionally I took my mobile and opened the inbox. Message was from an unknown number. I pressed green button again and I wished that I'd never done this. 

I wished I could make it a recently received message again and never open it or may this message was on April fool (although I'm not a fan of April fool event) because it brings one of the most most sad news of my Life. 

Jawaria Saifullah, my beloved team in-charge (IT team, Jamaat-e-Islami Punjab) passed away, I couldn't believe the fact. I was like: it could be a wrong news (as some wrong number gave the wrong news to my cousin that I fell and injured badly, and she was asking me and I said I'm fine) so I thought it could be the same case or I just didn't want to believe that and deceiving myself indeed. But here comes another message with the same news, and another and another (So many people can't tell a lie)

But I still don't want to believe it ....

She is (I don't want to write "was" with her)  like a teacher (spiritual mother) a kind friend, a gentle guide, an active moral support and much more to me. She was the person I met the very first day I entered the Jamaat-e-Islami's IT circle in Mansoorah.

It was a social media workshop I came to attend. I'm basically a very reserved person and I was worried about how I'll communicate with all the strangers there, but still I reached Mansoorah to attend the workshop and there she was, with kind, soft and friendly voice to welcome me despite all her duties and busy schedule as she was the in-charge. I could feel her welcoming, sweet and friendly smile even under her covered face, for the first time in my life I came close to someone so fast.

Working with her was always awesome and relation with her was like rainbow, no weight, no burden but beauty and colors. Although I know her from one and a half year but I feel that affections are much older than that. 

I don't know how it will be working in IT Team without her from now on ..... but I pray that She gets the best place in Jannah and her grave fill with fragrance and light.

Even though I still don't want to believe the fact.

Lahore mosque roof collapse - Heavy rains :(

Jamiya Masjid Hanfia

After the heavy rain fall, and life lose mean while, I was thanking Allah that rain stops and every thing was at its place again. But the very next day, I came home in the evening from office and heard the sad news from my mother that "Jamiya Masjid Hanfia" roof collapsed at the time of Zohr prayer with 30-40 Muslims in the mosque.

Jamiya Hanfia Daroghawala - Roof collapse

I was shocked that rain was stopped a day before so how can the incident happens now. But, it is called that what Allah wants to do, He do it, He don't need the suitable circumstances for any incident but He design them. So is in the case of this incident. Roof of the mosque was already weaken by the heavy rain fall this year in Punjab (in this case - its Lahore), large quantity of rain water is absorbed by the buildings walls and specially roofs, which weakens all of those, and at this particular time, these are not able to bear any king pressure. One portion of the double storey building was already under the construction condition and couldn't stand very long. It falls and by the weight and pressure of the debris of upper portion's ceiling. Ground floor's roof got a flick and collapsed. 

Jamiya Hanfia collapse: People reached to help 

An eyewitness said that it felt like its earthquake, as building was shaking before it dropped down and few of the people got out of the mosque immediately while it was shaking. People were trapped under the debris of the fallen mosque. Rescue teams were in time but government crane couldn't reached the sight at that time because of unavailability of fuel (if Provincial capital's machinery vehicles remains out of fuel, I wonder what happens with the people of other cities) and God knows how many of died could be saved if machinery would be there in time.

Anyway, Rescue teams started working very professionally, divided themselves in three parts and assign themselves duties according to their skills. One of the three teams was technical staff which started cutting the cement collapsed roof and other two teams go with the removing debris and bringing people out of the destructed building. Local people of the area became the very useful helping hands of rescue teams and work with them continually to save there loved ones. But human wishes don't come true every time, around 24 of the people were already dead. 

Jamiya Hanfia Collapsed: People helping rescue teams

Remaining people were saved and transferred to the hospitals, but around 7-8 of the saved ones are also very critical. May Allah grant them life with complete healthy physical condition. 

Jamiya Hanfia collapse: Rescue mission

Among the people gone for prayer in that mosque a 10-year old minor child was also there, and died in the incident, Afterwards I came to know that, small kid gone to offer prayer in that mosque was nephew of my little sister's school teacher. All the school staff went to offer the funeral prayer of that child "Hamza"

Jamiya Hanfia collapse: 10-year old Hamza died in incident

But here comes the Allah's will. When all the rescue operation was done and team were back, a boy  received a call at night from his friend saying that three of them are still trapped in the debris and they are perfectly fine. The boy rushed to the concerning people and those three were saved, which proves that no matter what, the person Allah wants to live, he live. 

Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif visited the place and other politicians showed griefs over the incident. What could happen more??? May be government announces some compensation money or else .....

But they people who have been gone can't come back and nothing in this world can compensate it. 

May Allah bless all of them ......

Brother! Lower your gaze - Hijab

It is assumed that Hijab is a feminine thing, and it is discussed world wide on media with regard of only Muslim ladies, and portrays that Islam is very backward and unjust religion for women, but here is the real fact that Hijab is as compulsory for men in Islam as it is for women. Its just that they are different from each others, and perfect as needed.

Its just that Non-Believers twist the facts as stated in Quran and show them as they are the worst of all worsts in this world. Allah is our creator and He knows about the needs of His creations very well including humans (male and female).  Before giving orders to women to cover themselves He asked Muslim men to lower their gaze as stated in Quran 

"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze 

and gaurd their modesty: that will make greater purity for them: 

And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do" (24:30)

Muslim men have their own limits of "Sattar & Hijab", but no one discuss that because all of them are busy in discussing "women, their Hijab and the cruelty of Islam"

Muslim men are not allowed to see a lady whether she is Muslim or not: first look is forgiven but after that its fire of hell, if they continue gazing. And its not only women ordered to cover themselves but men are also forbidden to walk around without clothes. Muslim men have more compulsory clothing limits even comparing to ladies of west (Non-Muslims) 

So, don't treat Hijab as the sign of femininity as its equally important for men women in Islam.

Hijab - Fashion industry destruction???

Attended Hijab seminar today with relevance to Hijab day celebrated on 4th Sep across the world.

Orya Maqbool Jan was invited. He spoke about the Hijab and one of the reason for the world wide prejudice against Hijab he told was their fashion industry. He says that when a women start taking Hijab. She happens to be the destructive element to their industry. Trillions of Dollars are invested in their fashion and media industry every year and they get them all back with more trillions, but when a lady wear Hijab not only their profit is gone but their investment is also at risk. And that is the main reason that they don't want a whole nation (Muslims = one of the largest nations of the world) to wear Hijab.

And I was thinking that really 

They are not against the hijab of Christian nuns, because they are small in number, they are not threat to their economy, they are not afraid of Jewish women's head covering nor of any other religion's lady but Muslim women. Because very few of ladies from other religion's women wear hijab and those very few ladies are consider the most noble of their community. 

And I felt proud of my religion, because when it comes to Islam every women is advised to take HIJAB which proves that every lady of my religion is noble. Every single women is equally important for the cause we are serving for, and have equal rights. No group of few ladies is noble for the whole community and treated nicely and given special rights instead the whole community is considered noble in Islam on the condition that they fulfill the requirements.

And when we wear Hijab we accept this nobility and highest position in community. But I think we don't say no to fashion industry instead we just change the trends. We don't spend money to beautify our hairs but on beautiful and stylish Hijabs collection. Cosmetics are not forbidden in Islam, but some rules to use them, shoes industry is still at its place, clothing changes from half dresses to full ones, than what is the real fact Non-Muslims are afraid of????

That's not their industry, that is Muslim women, a modest covered women is always concerned  for her family, a women educate, take care of and make her family strong, and when family institution is strong, communities become civilized, civilized communities develop faster than uncivilized ones. And this development is the real thing they are afraid of.

Because when Muslims development starts the whole world comes under their influence, without any weapon they conquer the hearts and minds of people. Even if people don't embrace Islam and remains non-muslim but they respect it. They be happy with Muslim leaders and when something like this happens Non-Muslim stake holders left with no power. 

This lust for power and fear to loose it make them against Hijab, because Hijab is a not a piece of cloth but its an ideology that we wear with it, this whole new ideology rejects the one they have, and is much stronger than theirs. 

So I would say its not the Hijab they are afraid of but they are afraid of that ideology which comes with it as an essential part of it. 

So Beautiful Muslim ladies, wear Hijab, cover yourself and make them frightened :)
