سوال ہے،،؟



میرا تمام پاکستانیوں سے سوال ہے،،؟

بتاؤ ہر روز ھونےوالے خود کش دہھماکے کہاں گۓ ؟
 
کراچی میں ہر روز 25''25 بوری بند لاشیں ملتی تھی وہ کہاں گئ ؟

ٹرین کا رکنا اور خسارا کہاں گیا ؟ PIA کا روز لیٹ ہونا کہاں گیا ؟

ہر روز کرپشن کے کیس آتے تھے وہ کہاں گۓ ؟

انڈیکس مارکیٹ کا روز کا گرنا کہاں گیا؟

.. 21 ہزار mw بجلی کے منصوبے لگ گۓ ۔۔

.. 11ماہ سے پیٹرول کی قیمت نہی بڑھی انڈیکس مارکیٹ بلند ترین سطح پر چلی گی

.. ،، ڈالر 112 سے 97 پر آگیا ،، بے حساب ترقیاتیی منصوبے شروع ہیں


 یہ ایک سال کی کارکردگی ہے جس سے ڈر کر عمران خان قوم کو ورگلا کر اس ترقی کو روکنا چاہتا ہے،، پاکستا بھاییوں خدا کے لیے کسی کی باتوں میں آکر اپنے ملک کے ساتھ دشمنی مت کرو

کوئی بھائی جواب دیں گا ؟؟؟

کون سا آزادی مارچ ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

عمران کا پی پی سے رابطہ، عمران کا قادری سے رابطہ، قادری کا الطاف سے رابطہ ، چوہدریوں کا سب سے رابطہ

یہ کیسا نیا پاکستان ہے جس میں پاکستان تباہ کرنے والے سارے کردار ایک ہو کر صرف نواز شریف کو ہٹانے کے لیے اکٹھے ہیں ؟

یہ کیسا نیا پاکستان ہے جس میں کراچی کے ہزاروں بوری بند لاشوں کو نظر انداز کر دیا گیا ؟

یہ کیسا نیا پاکستان ہے جس میں بنک آف پنجاب کے اربوں ہڑپ کرنے والے چوہدریوں سے ہاتھ ملا لیا گیا ؟

یہ کیسا نیا پاکستان ہے جس کے بنانے کے لیے زرداری کو بھی ساتھ ملانے کی ضرورت ہے جس کی تعریف کے لیے الفاظ کی ضرورت نہیں ؟

یہ کیسا نیا پاکستان ہے جس میں قرآن ہاتھ میں پکڑ کر جھوٹ بولنے والے قادری کے ہاتھ پر بیعت کی جاتی ہے ،

نہ تو یہ لوگ الیکشن ریفارم چاہتے ہیں نہ یہ لوگ پاکستان کی ترقی کے خواہاں ہیں ان کو چاہیے تو صرف حکومت میں حصہ 

اور اس کے لیے یہ کسی بھی حد تک جا سکتے ہیں.....................!

مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوا۔

سنہ اڑتالیس سے اب تک موت، سوگ، بے گھری، ملال اور ناامیدی کی ایک کروڑ پچپن لاکھ تیس ہزار چار سو انیس تصاویر تو شائع ہو ہی چکی ہوں گی۔ چار بڑی، تین چھوٹی اور دو اندرونی جنگیں بھی لڑ لی گئیں مگر مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوا۔

محمود عباس کے کلام میں بہت تاثیر سہی مگر مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوا۔

عرفات نے بندوق چھوڑ کے شاخِ زیتون تھام لی۔ عرفات حل ہوگیا مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوا۔

اگر حماس والے پانچویں جماعت کی کتابوں سے چرائے فارمولے کی مدد سے تیارکردہ ایک لاکھ کھلونا راکٹ بھی اسرائیل پر برسا دیں اور ہر کھلونا راکٹ کے بدلے اسرائیلی فضائیہ ایک سو فلسطینیوں کو مار بھی ڈالے تب بھی مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوگا۔
بھلے اسلامی کانفرنس اور عرب لیگ جیسی پارسا بیبیاں چپ رہیں کہ ٹسوے بہائیں، ازلی بیوہ اقوامِ متحدہ نیتن یاہو کے ہاتھ جوڑے کہ پاؤں پکڑ لے، عرب دور دور سے اسرائیل کو فحش اشارے کریں یا اپنا گریبان سی سی کے پھاڑتے رہیں، مسئلہ حل نہیں ہوگا۔

پہلے فوری نوعیت کا مسئلہ تو طے ہوجائے کہ اچھا مسلمان کون ہے کون نہیں ۔پہلے ہاتھ باندھ کے اور ہاتھ کھول کے نماز پڑھنے والوں کی آدم شماری اور صف بندی تو مکمل ہوجائے۔ پہلے یہ تو پتہ چل جائے کہ لڑنے کے لیے جذباتی مکہ موثر ہے کہ عقلی کلاشنکوف۔ پہلے یہ تو منکشف ہو جائے کہ کتنے مسلمان حکمران عرف گینگسٹرز فلسطین کو ایک سیاسی مہرہ اور مفاداتی خام مال سمجھتے ہیں اور کتنے صرف ایک کاز ۔

جلدی کیا ہے؟ ابھی چھیاسٹھ برس ہی تو ہوئے ہیں مرضِ ارضِ فلسطین کو۔ چار ملین ہی تو بے گھر ہیں۔ ایک ڈیڑھ لاکھ ہی تو مرے ہیں۔ ابھی تک چار نسلوں کے پیروں تلے ہی سے تو زمین نکلی ہے۔ ہاں جو مرگیا اس کا تو مسئلہِ فلسطین حل ہوگیا۔ زندوں کا بھی ہو ہی جائے گا ایک نہ ایک دن۔

جب گسٹاپو والے کنسنٹریشن کیمپوں کو جانے والی گاڑیوں میں ہانک ہانک کر یہودی بھرتے تھے تو خالص آریائی جرمن دو رویہ کھڑے تالیاں بجاتے تھے ۔اٹہتر برس بعد انھی مظلوموں کی چوتھی نسل سیدروت قصبے کی پہاڑی پر رات کو کھڑے ہو کر غزہ کے کنسنٹریشن کیمپ پر گرتے بموں کی روشنی سے آتش بازی کا لطف اٹھا رہی ہے۔ نازیت کوئی نظریہ تھوڑا ہے۔ ایک کیفیت ہے جو کسی بھی دور میں کسی بھی گروہ پر کسی بھی وقت آ سکتی ہے۔ آپ اس کیفیت کو اپنی سہولت سے کچھ بھی کہہ لیں۔ کشور کشائی، ہوسِ ملک گیری، چنگیزیت، بربریت، اپار تھائیڈ، صیہونیت، کافریت، سامراجیت، نسلیت، فسطائیت، جنونیت ۔ کوئی بھی اچھا سا نام۔

Halal way of Slaughtering.

My dear brothers and sisters. We have a very wrong understanding about the meaning of halal slaughter. I was asked by a non muslim professor once what makes a meat halal and i didn't know an explanation and was embarrassed but gave a vague answer saying that we say the prayer before we cut, that makes it halal. I came back and went through hadiths and articles written by muslim scholars and finally came to an understanding. I am going to explain it to urll in a scientific way so that Insha Allah in the future if anyone asks you the same question u will be prepared to give this answer.

WHAT MAKES A MEAT HALAL OR HARAM??
Ans: it is the undrained blood that contaminates the meat makes it haram.
What these non-muslim butchers do is completely chop of the head as a result of which the connection between the brain and the heart is lost hence the heart stops pumping/beating almost instantaneously therefore there is no driving force to push the blood out of the body. As a result of this the blood stagnates in the veins and arteries and contaminates the meat. Scientifically it is proven that blood is one of the best culture mediums to grow bacteria. Consuming meat contaminated with blood makes humans more vulnerable to infections and joint pains. Joint pains because of high uric acid levels in blood.
SO WHAT IS HALAL WAY??
Ans: in halal way we do not chop off the head completely but instead we cut the main vein (jugular vein) in the neck first. (This vein contains venous blood in high pressure and it directly connects to the atrium of the heart without any interference). This method of slaughtering preserves the connection between the brain and the heart which allows neural transmissions to be delivered. This keeps the heart pumping/beating until all the blood is drained off completely from every vein and artery in the body making the meat pure and thus halal.
SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT MAKES FISH HALAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT SLAUGHTERED THIS WAY??
Allah has created fish in such a way that the moment it is removed from water the entire blood in its body is redirected to a part called the epiglottis in its mouth which turns bright red thus indicating that the blood is drained and the meat is pure.
SUBHANALLAH.

ALLAH Most Merciful and Compassionate.


When your world seems to be crumbling, remember that the Almighty will definitely come to your help.

When your road seems to be closed, remember that the Almighty will open many more new roads.

When you are let down by those closest to you, remember that the Almighty never let's you down so make Him even closer.

When you suffer a loss, remember that the Almighty rewards you upon your patience & endurance far more than what you have lost.

When you feel so lonely because everyone has left you, remember that the Almighty will never forsake you.

When you have sinned so much, remember that the Almighty will forgive you if you repent truly & return to His Path.

When you get up every morning, thank the Almighty for giving you another chance to mend your ways before you finally meet Him.

When you are sad, remember to look for the path of He who created you for He Alone can make you truly happy.

Praise Him for indeed All praise is due to the one who loves us so much that He always declares Himself Most Compassionate, Most Merciful!

Yaadein Meri - MY DAD

Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
 
My Dad Only Had One Eye.
I Hated Him...
He Was Such An Embarrassment.  He Cooked For Students & Teachers To Support The Family. There Was This One Day During Elementary School where My Dad Came To Say Hello To Me.  I Was So Embarrassed. How Could He Do This To Me ? I ignored Him, Threw Him A Hateful Look And Ran Out.
The Next Day At School One Of My Classmates Said, " EEEE, Your Dad Only Has One Eye ! "
I Wanted To Bury Myself I Also Wanted My Dad To Just Disappear.. I Confronted Him That Day And Said,
" If You're Only Gonna Make Me A Laughing Stock, Why Don't You Just Die ? " My Dad Did Not Respond....
I Didn't Even Stop To Think For A Second About What I Had Said, Because I Was Full Of Anger. I Was Oblivious To His Feelings. I Wanted Out Of That House, And Have Nothing To Do With Him. So I Studied Real Hard, Got A Chance To Go Abroad To Study.

Then, I Got Married. I Bought A House Of My Own. I Had Kids Of My Own. I Was Happy With My Life, My Kids And The Comforts, Then One Day, My Father Came To Visit Me. He Hadn't Seen Me in Years And He Didn't Even Meet His Grandchildren. When He Stood By The Door,
My Children Laughed At Him, And I Yelled At Him For Coming Over Uninvited. I Screamed At Him, How Dare You Come To My House And Scare My Children ! GET OUT OF HERE ! NOW !!!  And To This, My Father Quietly Answered, Oh, I'm So Sorry. I May Have Gotten The Wrong Address, And He Disappeared Out Of Sight.
One Day, A Letter Regarding A School Reunion Came To My House.. So I Lied To My Wife That I Was Going On A Business Trip. After The Reunion, I Went To The Old Shack Just Out Of Curiosity. My Neighbors Said That He Died. I Did Not Shed A Single Tear.   They Handed Me A Letter That He Had Wanted Me To Have
" My Dearest Son,”
I Think Of You All The Time. I'm Sorry That I Came To Your House And Scared Your Children. I Was So Glad When I Heard You Were Coming For The Reunion. But I May Not Be Able To Even Get Out Of Bed To See You.
I'm Sorry That I Was A Constant Embarrassment To You When You Were Growing Up. You See........When You Were Very Little, You Got into An Accident, And Lost Your Eye.
As A Father, I Couldn't Stand Watching You Having To Grow Up With One Eye. So I Gave You Mine. I Was So Proud Of My Son Who Was Seeing A Whole New World For Me,
in My Place, With That Eye. With All My Love To You,
Your Father…...

World Without Muslims - Lets Imagine




One of my friend wrote this today on his Facebook, i loved the concept and message so wanted to share it here as well.

Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we? Without Muslims you wouldn't have:

- Coffee
- Cameras
- Experimental Physics
- Chess
- Soap
- Shampoo
- Perfume/spirits
- Irrigation
- Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
- Combination locks
- Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
- Surgical instruments
- Anesthesia
- Windmill
- Treatment of Cowpox
- Fountain pen
- Numbering system
- Algebra/Trigonometry
- Modern Cryptology
- Crystal glasses
- Carpets
- Checks
- University
- Optics
- Toothbrush
- Hospitals
- Bathing
- Quilting
- Mariner’s Compass
- Soft drinks
- Pendulum
- Braille
- Cosmetics
- Plastic surgery
- Calligraphy
- Manufacturing of paper and cloth
It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on and on..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

Lumbini (Nepal) - Birth Place of Lord Buddha


Lumbini has its significance for Buddhists as it is related to the birth of Lord Gautama Buddha, date of his birth (Between c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE) and death (c. 483 BCE (aged 80) or 411 and 400 BCE) are not exactly clear. He was born in current day Lumbini - Nepal and died in Utar Pardesh - India.

The marker stone pointing the exact place of birth, now a pillar stands there. It is believed that Buddha was born on full moon so Buddhists celebrate full moon. When we arrived there the ceremony was going on. As seen in below pictures.




                      


                      


There is old Maya Devi Temple which was recently found during excavation and you cannot take pictures, still managed to get few shots.




You will also find holy pond which is related to the story, when Maya Devi gave birth to Lord Buddha two fountain from sky showered them with water. So in result this pond came into form.


In Lumbini you will find Monasteries of different countries like Korea, Germany, Austria, China, Thailand, Sirilanka, Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal itself.











Not only in Lumbini but all over Nepal you will see Monasteries like i visited one in Pokhara and one in Kathmandu. Both the Monasteries are stunning and beautiful. Kopan Monasteries in Kathmandu was the most peaceful and beautiful, located at mountain top.











I will leave you to read some of the sayings which are painted on the wall all over the Kopan Monastery.

Pashupatinath - Kathmandu Nepal








When i arrived at Kathmandu airport after tiring flight from Riyadh via Sharjah. I queued up for entry visa, which is free for Pakistani nationals if they are entering Nepal once in a year. After catching up with my brother we headed towards old Bhat Battini Naxal, Bhat Battini is a chain of super markets, which is named after a Temple. Roads were small and torn but surprisingly clean.

Next day our tour began with Pashupatinath, which is most sacred place for Hindus and it is considered to be the oldest Temple in the world related to Lord Shiva.When you will reach to the site you will see a stone saying World Heritage site. You will follow the road to the temple you can see small vendors lined up on both side of the road selling flowers, colors, different collectable items and Murties (Idols). 

We were offered a guided tour for 500-NR, as we knew nothing about the temple so we accepted the offer and began our tour, we came across a small downstairs temple upon asking we found out that this is "Jhumka Temple" exact place where Mata's Jhumka fell. 


Jhumka Temple


Then we came across an event known as "Lakh Diya" as per our guide "this was performed by relatives of the girl who is single and have difficulty in getting married, over aged you know."

Lakh Diya


Our guide told us with great honour that you can only wonder around the temple and cannot enter the original temple if you are not Hindu, he further added "Sonia Gandhi was also not allowed to enter as only born Hindus can enter the temple not even the converts", we were Muslims so there was no chance for us. 



Suddenly our guide said this way please and we realized we were actually going inside the temple. Later we found that our guide assumed that we were pilgrims from India so we started acting like one. First instruction we received was no photographs as there are CCTV coverage across the temple.

Entering from the gate we saw a golden Bull statue sitting and it is facing toward a temple of Shiva, our guide told us that no one can touch the idol not even the king of Nepal, now there is no king so not even the PM. There are only four Saddhu Baba's allowed to enter the temple for cleaning all of them are from south India.

We went near the window and saw a glamorous shining statue with great detailed art work, then we circled around it where there were bells to ring. Then we went to another Temple where there was four windows with Statues of Lord's in them, but the last one was jam packed and suddenly everybody jumped and leaned forward before clearing the area. When we came out our guide said did you get it, i had no clue what he was asking so i said no. He showed me his foot and said i got it here still i was confused so he explained the "Jal" (Sacred Water) which they believe accumulates from the temple in a glass. Once the glass is filled the Saddhu's appointed throws it out, it is believed that who ever gets even the drop of water is blessed with good luck and prosperity in his business. Our guide told us all the businessmen from Nepal line up daily here to get sprinkled by "Jal".

Then we went to the Nag Temple, our guide told us and i quote "there were many Nag's related to Lord Shiva but this one used to sit in his throat for singing, when Parvati died Lord Shiva became mentaly disturbed and left his divine duties and threw all the Nags away. All Nags disappeared but this Nag stayed here for 10,000 years and waited for Lord Shiva. When Lord came back and saw Nag waiting near the bank of sacred river. Then it was announced that who ever will come for pilgrimage of Shiva, his pilgrim will not be completed if he didn't visit the Nag."

There was a small hole behind the Nag temple as per our guide if any women can rotate 360 degree her body without letting go of the circle she will have the best taste in her food forever. A women even displayed it in-front of us how its done exactly.

We moved on to a place known for making wishes but the procedure of wish was to come to the place make a wish and then move on to a maze, at the end of the maze an elderly man sits who puts Red color on your forehead. Then you have to come back to the place where you made the wish and put some money in the box and empty three glasses of water or milk there, one for your parents safety, one for your siblings safety and one for your safety. Then you have to ring the bells hanging there which are alot.

We moved on and there were two more temples related to Lord Shiva they were for just visit and pay gratitude for the the greatness of the Lord. We also saw small statues of the whole royal family, who were murdered at Katmandu Darbar. 

Then we moved to the river side where we saw concreted beds near the bank there were four to five in numbers, our guide told us that for Hindus it is privilege if he dies near the river and is cremated here. Then he pointed towards a tilted bed and told us that when a man is near his death his relatives leave him here there are rooms free of cost, and when he is taking his last breaths he is moved to the tilted bed so that his feet are touching the water. When he is dead he is moved to the straight beds where he is cremated. Before for Royal family there was separate bed and for all the highers a separate bed, Now they don't care anymore. Then he told us that non Hindus can only see cremation from across the riverside where stairs are maintained, then he pointed towards small rooms across the river bank and told us that these are religious scholars and elders people come to them for religious issues and guidance.




Then we exited the main temple from same door and went to see the Sadhu Leader who currently holds the highest place among the Sadhu's. When we entered his room there was a cow sitting on the left side of the room and many long hair, long beard elderly men on the right side of the room. There was too much smoke in the room, our guide told us that marijuana is legal for them. 

Sadhu Leader

Then on our way back we saw Mother Teresa's trust where you can go and work as volunteer for the old and sick people admitted there. It was founded by Mother Teresa herself and she visited and worked there too. 



Overall it was a great experience to visit the holiest place of a religion you have no clue about. Our guide was also an amazing person and knew the temple by heart.
