Begging is a shame for society


Kids are as innocent as flowers and as shinning as glowing stars. They all are same whether they live a relaxing and comfort life or sleep on footpaths. It’s really painful to see small kids begging with their little hands in front of this cruel world, a world for which these kids are just beggars and nothing else. Their own parents treat them as slaves and force them to beg in front of people. These kids also have some ambitions and rights to live the same life as every kid lives, a life where there is no tension and tears and they can get a chance to laugh whole heartedly. They also like to play and live an enjoyable life.
Some people are so mean to these kids and don’t realize that their attitude hurts them. I would like to share one of such incident where I witnessed a kid crying on the road
One I was going to pick my cousin from her university. While waiting on a traffic signal I saw a kid knocking at windows of each car, selling newspapers. He was refused by each and every person. I saw pain on his face because no one was buying his newspapers. I know people were thinking that maybe he is acting and to be very honest I also had the same feelings hidden somewhere inside me. But I felt so sad that I wanted to help him. I didn’t had any money otherwise I’d have helped him by buying his newspaper, which I know was not of my use as I am not really in to reading newspaper but still at least for his help. But I saw him just crying on his fate, while traveling in my car my eyes still search for that poor kid, I so want to help him but I haven’t seen him again
Kids are not supposed to beg in front of people but they should enjoy their childhood. There little hands are not made for labor or begging but to play with toys and read and write. But due to poverty they are supposed to beg to live. There are a lot of organizations and NGOs for different causes but there should be some kind of charity homes for these kids where these kids can live and spend a normal life. There should be a proper arrangement for their comfort and education where they can have a right to dream for their better future.
Every kid is dear to his or her parents so are these beggaring kids but the poverty makes their parents cruel. We all should try to help them in any way. I have seen kids finding books and eatables from the trash. There is a desire in their hearts to have a sweet and cute childhood like others. I have seen kids bewailing at their fates. They also like to make wishes in front of their parents for different things.  This shows their eager and love for life. And we should help these kids to have a relaxing life. These kids are future of our country and if we give them chance then they can do wonders.
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven then why do we force those hands to beg in front of the whole world? It is a time to throw this cruelty out from this world and give best to the deserving ones.

Strengthening our Faith through Knowing Allah



Living in the world, it seems that we are surrounded by people who do not understand our faith. Confused by our surroundings, we must ask ourselves ‘Do we understand our own belief system?’ Our imaan is not always strong, and sometimes we find ourselves slipping away from the right path through no fault except our own ignorance, especially as to how we may strengthen our faith and ourselves in order to combat our inner desires as well as the temptations it calls us to.
Many of us find ourselves embracing Islam, or revisiting (when more mature) the Islam we were once taught through loved ones, but with a much more sincere approach. Through a lack of what should be basic knowledge, we appear to enter a state of emotional faith that places us on an almost transitional level. We rarely begin on the basis we should be working from, and we are reliant on any small conversation to guide us or help to maintain the uplifting and exciting feelings we have found.
one must know what he or she is required to embark on if they wish to become a practicing Muslim. The shahadah carries with it a great deal of important and influential status, so significant is it that we must refer to our shahadah as our first operation amongst conviction and therefore must know of Allah and His messenger.
What I would refer to as an emotional faith seems to posses and occupies many of us and we are often inclined to this state as an initial reaction to the zeal of practicing Islam and uttering our first shahadah. Being overwhelmed by the emotion that this first shahadah can bring, we become addicted to the emotion it creates. Similarly likened to the feeling of love, it has a domineering influence and can easily become addictive. The upkeep of this imaan is extremely difficult as it has no firm basis, and inevitably at times we become overwhelmed with other emotions that just as easily overpower our faith. If imaan is based on a feeling or emotion, it will become submissive, just as fear can override happiness, love can override sadness, and so on. We try to hold on to this imaan with nasheeds that we believe strengthens our faith, seemingly becoming reliant on other people to ‘lift’ and ‘help’ us. This is a dangerous and somewhat lazy way of establishing our faith, and though in the beginning natural, a dependence on this feeling of zeal has no basis in the deen.
We have to endure many hardships and calamities in our lives, and in this state of imaan we do not stand a chance. At one point or another we will find ourselves weakened without even noticing. Learning and studying other branches of what could be politics and global legislation before our grounding upon the pillars of faith could almost certainly be described as a deception of Shaytaan helping us to believe we are gaining knowledge and that it is helping us succeed. While all of this is happening, he is helping us to bypass what we really need to adhere to – our basis and rationale that is Taw hid.
If we occupy ourselves with the learning of Allah, we are doing what we were created for. The meaning of imaan is not merely to think we believe in Allah, or blindly assume that we know Him, for real imaan is based on solid knowledge, and a true dependence is based on a reliant trust.
The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) spent over a decade with his Sahabah in Makah, strengthening their faith even before the inclusion of prayer which occurred in Medina. Most early chapters are those of imaan and can be related to the pillars. Belief is penetrated by a cognitive, astute and sophisticated wisdom all through knowledge.
Allah the Most High says in the Qur’an:
“Except for those who bear witness to the truth knowingly (that there is no god but Allah – la illaha il-Allah) and they know – (in their hearts the meaning of the words they utter with their lips).”
Our whole lives have been based on knowledge. We were never born with wisdom. We are only at the stage of ability we possess now through knowledge and guidance we have been allowed to acquire, given by Allah through our environment. Let us not retire to anything less when it comes to our deen, and knowing our Creator.
It can always be a taboo subject when admitting we are slipping in our efforts to maintain a hold on our faith, and hence, we don’t always refer to such subjects. Through complete understanding of who Allah is, and our knowledge building us instead of our emotion, we hope to accomplish our relationship with Allah that we so desperately need and live for. In procuring such knowledge we will find our emotions are of a deeper and more meaningful level of faith. We must know our Lord to satisfy ourselves, and render ourselves a true imaan, fully restored which no emotion can sway, emotions that register as a result of knowledge.

Pakistan Ranked as THIRD most dangerous country in the world for Womens



Pakistan had cultural, tribal and religious practices harmful to women, including acid attacks, child and forced marriage and punishment or retribution by stoning or other physical abuse. More then 1,000 women and girls are victims of “honor killings” every year, according to Pakistan’s Human Rights Commission, a large number of women faced domestic violence and it was also reported that women earn 82% less then men, which too is not a surprising fact
The issue here is to highlight the fact that women are seriously being oppressed in Pakistan, on one hand we have a Supreme Court judgment setting Muktaran Mai’s rapists free on the ‘lack of evidence’ while we all know how the police system works in Pakistan enough to understand the nuances of how they may have possibly presented the evidence to favor the rapists
There are ample witnesses to testify that the Panchayat did condemn her to these men and later paraded her naked on the streets, if that weren’t humiliation for women then I wonder how many more women need to be subjected to such torture before an iron clad force is used to prevent such unholy practices from reigning supreme in our country.
We must accept that there is such a problem and it must be solved. I am embarrassed to observe that educated people in the past few months have used Mukhtara Mai’s judgment as a snub against her accusing her of having fabricated the rape, which in my opinion I find utterly unacceptable, at least such an argument should not even be tolerated by anyone respectable person in society, god forbid it were to happen to one of your loved ones and had if the charges been dismissed merely on the whim of “Lack of Evidence” the humiliation and torture shall never be healed. Pakistan needs to vehemently denounce any maltreatment of women and ensure that such practices are stopped for good.

Taliban: the New Super Power?






At the time of invasion of Afghanistan it was clear in the minds of Americans that they will enjoy a quick and comprehensive victory against those who were alleged to be terrorists, blood thirsty savages, threat to the civilized world, a burden on the face of this planet and were declared disqualified for any possible negotiation. The contrary has proven to be true today. Instead of winning the war Americans are now facing a devastating defeat, and have found themselves on there knees to negotiate those who were declared as blood thirsty terrorists [in fact Americans are the ones who have proven worthy of wearing the titles they tagged Taliban’s a decade ago. This is evident from the manner in which every day in America we see any high ranking government official telling to the world that they are negotiation with the Taliban. Interestingly the Taliban's are denying with an equal intensity of receiving Americans on a negotiation table. This makes one feel like Afghan Taliban are the one who deserve to be called the superpower of the world; a true turning of tables indeed. It is important to ask at this point that what have actually caused this historic flip and that Americans are know found to be a defensive and humiliating state, as never seen before. The history tells us that such a situation arises in a battle field only when one party knows that they don't have much cards left to play with ... After 10 years of spendthrift of their military, technological and economic resources, Americans have now realized that they are running after a ghost, therefore they are now left with no option other then to beg in front of Taliban to get to a mutually agreeable situation.

Misadventure of Iraq and Afghanistan has indeed been unimaginably heavy for the American economy to bear. The military expenditure is as huge as 1.5 trillion dollars, and if all social, economic indirect expenses are included then the figure accumulates to as much as 6 trillion dollars; in view of various independent analysts as a result American economy has now been indebted so much that bankruptcy seems to be just around the next corner. It is perhaps this economic pressure which has forced Americans to think to find a financially viable alternative. However if Americans escape like a goat from battlefield then they would have to pay another cost in terms of global humiliation, as never seen before, subsequently diluting America image of the most powerful country in the world. Perhaps to safe its face, the option which now seeps plausible to Americans is that of Negotiation with Taliban.

Hamid Karzai is a puppet erected to power by American Government. It would not be possible for Karzai to imagine such a royalty without Americans. The present situation should have neared Karzai with Americans even more; however in a press conference on 19th June 2011, Karzai's words stunted the journalist community and the world. Karzai alleged America as a selfish aggressor and invader. Analysts suggests that Karzai also believes now that American victory in Afghanistan is as much possible as in a fairy tale, that is why the Americans are now trying to find a state of peaceful coexistence with the Taliban as well.

If we look closely then it will become only clearer to us that such a response from Karzai is vivid proof of American defeat in Afghanistan. If situation would have been the other way around, then Karzai would not have dared to utter such words. The extent of American helplessness can be estimated from the bitterness with which Karzai has come up, which is being tolerated as Americans now know they don't have anyone other then Karzai who could support their agenda in Afghanistan. 

This is the status of a world super power which is present in Afghanistan with its 49 allies. It is also important to note that the Taliban have approved Americans not even once for the said negotiations, it’s the Americans and its allies who have been stepping forward indeed. It is the Americans who have changed their stance toward the Mujahedeen’s, not the Mujahedeen who instead are still strong on their views and consider Americans as an aggressor, invader and occupier of their lands. They also believe that the only and only solution of these crises is to through Americans out of Afghanistan.

The altered stance of Americans in fact proves that there was no ethical or moral foundation of the narrative Americans held against Taliban in the beginning, as otherwise they would not have step forward to negotiate with those who were declared as blood thirsty terrorists, traitors, drug dealers, enemies of the civilized world etc, by none other then the America it self. Today we see that military and economic might (so called) has brought no advantage to American position against Taliban. With all its might they were not even able to produce any anxiety, disturbance or disunity among the ranks of Mujahedeen.

In amongst of all the chaos America is also trying create a conflict between Taliban and Al-Qaeda as an option of last resort, perhaps this is due to the confidence America has got due to OBL assassination, which is wrongly assumed, by Americans, to have shaken the ideological foundations of Mullah Omar or Al-Qaeda. However a job which America couldn't do when it was in a much stronger position in Afghanistan, how can it be done now when the evidence of American defeat are visible as never before.

Ramadan makes your family unit







Being a Muslim it is our duty to follow all the aspects and teachings of Islam which we got from the Qur'an and those we learn from the hadith of Prophet(pbuh). The Qur'an and hadith teach us how to behave with our family and teaches us the norms and rules which every person need follow being a member of a family.

In Today’s fast and global world we have easily neglect all the requirements of a family and neglected to think about the needs of family and our rule in a family, after all, who can cope with our fluctuating temperaments as we struggle to cope with certain daily issues that come to test us? Misunderstandings ensue when we get all too caught up with the need to provide, the need to learn, and the desire for better, causing us to fall from the grace of our loved ones.

Without realizing it, family members become strangers to each other, slowly growing apart. Our homes become hotels where we just come to visit, all of those things develop because we are not putting any efforts and time to be together, Ramadan is the month which make all the family members tied and it is only Ramadan in which most of us will sit together to have a meal whether it is the meal of sahur or the meal of iftar.




Ramadan is the month in which all of us will sit together and this is time when all the members of family sit accordingly and this is the time in which children gets benefits with keeping touch with their family like aunts, uncles and cousins and particularly grandparents. We know that everyone wants give love to their grandparents but because of the schedule they can’t make it, but Ramadan is the month which offer you a opportunity to love ones grandparents give love and show attraction towards children of the house and all these joys are there because of the holy month of Ramadan.

According to one philosopher “A family grows stronger and closer with acceptance of one another, respect of differences, open and accurate communication, assertive and non-aggressive expression of emotions, love, freedom and space to grow, trust, time and effort invested, and the will to make it work.”

Enjoy the spiritual month of Ramadan with your family
