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 :)

Gaza - Ceasefire or war tactics

Two days after the agreement of ceasefire for two months signed by both Israel and Palestine, Israel has announced to include the occupied Palestinian land area of 400 Hectare in Israel officially, and a new Israeli city Gayot is expected in this land of Palestine.

Palestinian are allowed for appeal against this decision in 45 days and after that the land will go to Israel automatically like all the other areas of Palestine.

After a massacre (genocide) now they are up-to another controversial act right after they had a peace agreement, which clearly show their intentions of non-agreement with the peace agreement. They just want a clear way of grabbing more for Palestine. And ironically Palestine has been given time to appeal against the decision legally as all the other activities done were legal or as legal process will provide any justice to Palestinians from a Israeli court or we can say a Non-Muslim Zionist court with United Nations (UN) at its back. 

If justice means something there Israel can't be formed on the map of the world. After colonizing some Jewish Zionists in Palestinians home illegally, after grabbing their home and throwing the owners out of their own home illegally, after leaving them out of their homes in pain to face the hardships and getting comfort for themselves illegally, after portraying them as terrorists for demanding their own home illegally, and after genocide now they are offering them legal proceedings against their own illegal decision. What a joke ???

Do they think Muslims are fools?

Well they are not. But all the other religions even atheist have been turned against Muslims. After the designed 9-11, Muslim blood and land have become so cheap and easy to get that no one in this world consider that illegal. And then they offer a legal procedure against illegal in-fact criminal activities.

But that's not the real grief, the problem is Muslim countries are silent over these illegal and criminals acts by non-Muslims. A single 9-11 made them to attack multiple Muslim countries and destroy them, but why lot of criminal offenses (physical, religious, mental, financial, land) over Muslims can't join all the Muslim countries to help their own brothers and sisters. 

Help Gaza .....
It Needed badly now ......
