Why I refuse to put all my eggs in Imran’s basket?

2011-12-22T19:33:00.000-07:00

Okay, now that somehow you have landed on this article from any corner of cyber space, I will warn you that this is a very long , boring and flop article attempt of mine. Please don’t waste your time here, as reading the whole thing might even leave you confused, infuriated and in a “nothing gained” state.

Now that I still have your attention, please continue reading with an open and analytical mind. Ever since I was a kid, I had this stupid habit of reading Dawn newspaper, including editorials, everyday. I have always been interested to know about the history of my beloved country Pakistan after her independence. It would be fair to say that I know a bit, not a whole lot but enough.

Recently, I have observed a lot of my friends and people around me who have started to actively discuss, participate and engage in the politics of Pakistan. Their interest has been due to the sudden rise of Imran Khan’s popularity amongst the youth and others across the country. You should know this unless you have been hiding under a rock, unless you are Mullah Omar and company. They know everything while hiding under the rock.

Given the current situation of Pakistan majority of the leaders have huge flaws. No denying here and everyone can reasonably agree together. You see, for the last two decades, it has been these so called the “leaders” that we have gotten used to. I like to call them the known enemy. Somewhat predictable in terms of endless corruption, dynastical leadership control, election rigging, mass wealth collection and so on and so forth. The fear greater than of these evil leaders is the fear of the Unknown leader. Imran Khan aka Immi.

I am not a blind follower. I just don’t go with the trend for the sake of being a trend. Right now there is a trend, cult, fashion statement, hip thing and a cool snap to be a follower of Immi and his political party.

I will highlight some undeniable facts, which should be taken as signs of worry and not to be taken lightly. All points are valid concerns and are not presented in the order of one’s precedence over the other.

Lack of discipline: If one was to look at the state of PTI supporters it is very easy to deduce the sheer arrogance and rage. I still don’t think Immi has the proper command of his party workers and volunteers. In a real democracy just because one’s bark is louder than the other, that does not make one right. I have faced this phenomenon personally when I raise a valid concern on Immi or his approach; the only thing I hear is about the flaws of other parties and its leaders. My point; two wrongs do not make one right. Even journalists who dare write or comment critically of Immi are faced with the onslaught of curses and abuses from the political workers and supporters of none other but Immi.

Lack of control: Let’s take the example of Kasur jalsa where Kasuri officially joined in the ranks of Immi. Majority of Jalsas that have taken place, the workers and supporters are either sitting on the ground or standing in the heat. On the contrary the Mummy Daddy supporters have to have a chair for their comfort. For the first time in the history of our beloved country a mass robbery happened in front of Immi and he couldn’t stop it. Twenty thousand chairs were stolen!!Stealing twenty thousand chairs is not a joke and requires massive man power. There have been bigger political gatherings with no stealing and no civil disobedience.

No Plan: Immi does not have a realistic plan. Mark my words. When his own party’s funding was in trouble and with his own admission in his book, he bet money on cricket matches to bail out his party’s finances. Immi, I have to ask you, when our country goes into a downward spiral, which hedge fund are you going to bet our country’s money on?

Extremists / Taliban: I belong to the Shia sect of Islam. Shias are killed, maimed and threatened everyday in our Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I have known people who were killed just because their names gave away their religious identity. Sipah e Sahaba has been on a killing spree to eliminate the cream of the Shia population such as lawyers, doctors, bankers and engineers. This point is personal to me. Immi has gone to Laal Masjid and delivered a speech calling for jihad! His political gatherings have the banned outfit, Sipah e Sahaba’s supporters, openly carrying their own flags and not that of Immi’s party. Immi can you condemn them and stop them? Let them know they are not from us? Or do you have to woo anybody you can even if they have blood on their hands?

Elite leaders make good leaders? Shah Masood Qureshi, Jahangir Tareen, Kasuri, PMLN, leaders who just jumped on the band wagon are enjoying the fan fare, media attention with hopes of clinching ministerial spots in the future. These leaders / representatives are flighty rich and they have made an investment in Immi to be the next Prime Minister. They are hoping that their current investment will reap a handsome return. Immi weren’t you initially fighting the ruling elite in the first place? Today when those ruling elite are sitting in your lap, or you sitting on their lap, either way the ruling elite has been cleansed? Why is an ordinary person not worthy of Vice chairmanship in Tehreek e Insaaf? Does one have to own a plane (Immi flew into Karachi yesterday on Tareen’s private jet) to be able make it higher into the ranks of Tehreek e Insaaf? The people initially who started out with you in 1996, are they not worthy of any recognition? Will their investment of time and lives not reap rewards since their investment is worth nothing? I don’t get it.

If you are voting / supporting Immi because there is no other choice, then I humbly appeal to you, do not make that choice. As a nation we have been making the choice between personalities. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto or Zia ul Haq, Zia ul Haq or Benazir, Benazir or Nawaz Shareef, Nawaz Shareef or Musharraf, Musharraf or Zardari, and now Zardari or Immi? We are waiting for a messiah to come and get rid of our dirty laundry. Some people see that messiah as Immi. They think when Immi will come he will single handedly, with his magic wand, get rid of our entire nation’s troubles and sorrows.

We are waiting for the messiah and yet we won’t do anything our selves. A leader does not have to look, eat, sleep, earn a certain way. There can be a leader amongst us. We have failed to recognize him or it could for that matter “her”. A common person, with ordinary background, humble surroundings? I know Immi’s intentions are good but we can’t raise our expectations so high that it would hurt us harder upon landing, if for some reason Immi’s plans fail. Immi fails.

Keep an open and analytical mindset, work on a number of different possible solutions but don’t put all your eggs in one basket, Immi’s basket.

PS: I tried the reverse psychology of Kolaveri Dee, in the beginning. Let’s see where this article ends up at. Holy frack its been ages since I have written something this long so excuse my errors.

71 Doctos Killed

2007-02-01T23:44:00.000-07:00

So pakistan has lost 71 doctors due to targetted killings! What is their crime?
Simple, they are Shia Muslims and the killers are promised 72 virgins in heaven
upon the killing of one SHia. Important question, why target doctors?
Simple because Shia Muslims who are educated and the cream of the community will
die and hence SHias will retreat to jahilat (illeteracy) by the eliminiation of
the well educated. Lanat ullahhe Alla Qaumuzalimeen!

Unislamic Practise in the name of Islam

2006-12-28T12:36:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately due to high illetracy rate and lack of thinking power and more imporatnatly the lack of questioning power, the people of pakistan have committed the worst attrocities especailly againt the women. Here is the prime example of marriage to Quran just so that the land and wealth stays in the family...

Why is Independence necessary?

2006-12-25T01:48:00.000-07:00

Today at 130th birthday of Quaid e Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, I would like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for giving us the independence in the name of PAKISTAN.
To those who question the very existance and creation of Pakistan, I ask them to view the following. Please due to graphic nature and language viewer discretion is advised.
More importantly I hate any kind of violence in the name of religion but this video does highlight the massacre which the media and masses in India chose to ignore !

Violence gains nothing and embeds long lasting scars.

Some visitor in Karachi was whinning and bitching about Karachi and hence I shared my experience with her, in the following words:

"I went to Karachi after 5 years last summer when it rained like hell,,,, and the next day i was in kurta shalwar took a bus to my dad's office... to pick up the car and started driving the next hour and ate everywhere from Burns road to Roasters, went to a concert... shopped like hell in knee deep water puddles mixed with gutter.. almost lost my chappal in quick sand made thanx to rain water... witnessed an accident... witnessed a mobile snatching... ate and ate some more... got my car towed twice!... got my cuzn married and even did a dance item... attended weddings of all sorts and family dinners... went to Thatta in my Left Hand Drive 77 corolla with 4 of my cousins ... went to sunway logoon ... and came back.......... this is karachi for me, this is heaven for me

O btw somewhere in b/w i had loose motion but it didn't stop me from eating out from hot n spicy, cholay, kaleji bunkabab, blue elephant(@PC) , and pizza hut n KFC .... i luve food too :$"

Pakistanis in Bangladesh

2006-12-03T23:43:00.000-07:00

The seperation of East and West Pakistan still acts like a knife running through my heart. It was the greatest MAN MADE tragedy to inflict our nation. What is even worst is that a large number of Pakistanis are stranded in Bangladesh in the worst living conditons. I am also pasting the message of the video poster on youtube sirajudola,
"Please Watch This video!In pre-independence India, the Biharis were an Urdu-speaking Muslim minority in the Hindu region of Bihar. In 1947, at the time of Partition, the Biharis moved to what was then East Pakistan. When civil war broke out between East and West Pakistan, the Biharis, who consider themselves Pakistani, sided with West Pakistan. In 1971, however, East Pakistan became the independent state of Bangladesh. The Biharis were left behind as the Pakistani army and civilians evacuated and found themselves unwelcome in both countries. Pakistan feared a mass influx of Biharis could destabilize a fragile and culturally mixed population, and Bangladesh scorned the Biharis for having supported the enemy. With neither country offering citizenship, the Biharis (also called stranded Pakistanis) have remained stateless for 33 years. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has not addressed the plight of the Biharis. An estimated 250,000 to 500,000 Biharis live in 66 camps in 13 regions across Bangladesh. In 1990, a small number of Biharis were allowed to immigrate to Pakistan due to the efforts of MQM, which is still campaigning for their return. The majority of Biharis in Pakistan live in Karachi,where Orangi Town has the highest concentration of them while those in Bangladesh are allowed to live in specific camps only mostly within Dhaka city. Due to not having citizenship, most cannot get good jobs."

Cricket and Social Diplomacy go hand in hand!

2006-10-20T00:36:00.000-06:00

JAIPUR, Oct 19: The Pakistani team, after winning the hearts of the Pink City left for Mohali on Thursday morning to play New Zealand in a Group B match scheduled for October 25.

After India, Pakistan was easily the most popular team with the Jaipur public. Even former Indian cricketers and commentators were taken by surprise as the packed to the capacity stadium cheered every shot during the Pakistan run chase against Sri Lanka.

Though the support for Pakistan team from the public might have surprised people in the match against Sri Lanka, but it is certainly not the first time it has happened. Even during a warm-up tie against Rajasthan, the crowd wanted the Pakistanis to win.

Former Pakistan skipper Rameez Raja, who has a special place for Jaipur in his heart as he had scored his Test century here way back in 1987, said: "This was as if the Pakistan were playing on their home turf. I am pleasantly surprised by this great support for the Pakistan team."

The popularity of the Pakistan team can be gauged from the fact that even a RSS-run school, Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan, invited them to practice on their grounds where after the training session the Pakistan team offered collective prayers led by Younis Khan.

On Wednesday night, a local jeweller offered a 40 per cent discount to Mohammed Yousuf on a diamond-gold necklace worth Rs100,000 which the player bought for his wife.

On Wednesday also, an intelligence officer on his own initiative took Faisal Iqbal to the dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmer, 80km from here, after the young player told him that it was his mother’s wish that he should go and offer prayers at the dargah.

MY Girl Friend!

2006-06-02T02:06:00.000-06:00

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year,i was a very happy person and so we decided to get married.There was only one little thing bothering me it was her beautiful younger sister.

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two,wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was braless. She would regularly bend down when she was near me,and I always got more than a pleasant view. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else.

One day "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations.She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome.She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom,and if you want one last wild fling,just come up and get me." I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.When she reached the top she pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me.

I stood there for a moment,then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!

With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said,"We are very happy that you have passed our little test... we couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to our family!!! "

And the moral of this story is

Always keep your condoms in your car...

Tough LAWS for MUTAH

2006-05-10T23:54:00.000-06:00

I think Mutah is such a conterversial and powerful subject that so called Muslims are ready to run rivers of blood and declare ever so easily Shias Non Muslims.
According to MY understanding Mutah should be legal and it DOES NOT I REPEAT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SEXUAL!!!

Masturbaion: some Q n A regarding masturbation,

Question : What does Islam say about masturbation? If a man is doing this what type of punishment will he deserve and how can he do\ get Tawba?

§ Answer : He has committed a forbidden act. Repentance would be sufficient for forgiveness.

§ Question : When I am unable to do Muta’h (temporary marriage), am I allowed to masturbate?

§ Answer : Masturbation is not permissible under any circumstances.

Mut'ah (temporary marriage)

2430. Contracting a temporary marriage with a woman is in order, even if it may not be for the sake of any sexual pleasure.

2431. The obligatory precaution is that a husband should not avoid having sexual intercourse for more than four months with a wife of temporary marriage.

2432. If a woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, makes a condition that her husband will not have sexual intercourse with her, the marriage as well as the condition imposed by her will be valid, and the husband can then derive only other pleasures from her. However, if she agrees to sexual intercourse later, her husband can have sexual intercourse with her, and this rule applies to permanent marriage as well.

2433. A woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, is not entitled to subsistence even if she becomes pregnant.

2434. A woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, is not entitled to share the conjugal bed of her husband, and does not inherit from him, and the husband, too, does not inherit from her.
However, if one or both lay down a condition regarding inheriting each other, such a stipulation is a matter of Ishkal as far as its validity is concerned, but even then, precaution should be exercised by putting it into effect.

2435. If a woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, did not know that she was not entitled to any subsistence and sharing her husband's conjugal bed, still her marriage will be valid, and inspite of this lack of knowledge, she has no right to claim anything from her husband.

2436. If a wife of temporary marriage goes out of the house without the permission of her husband, and the right of the husband is in anyway violated, it is haraam for her to leave. And if the right of her husband remains protected, it is a recommended precaution that she should not leave the house without his permission.

2437. If a woman empowers a man that he may contract a temporary marriage with her for a fixed period, and against a specified amount of Mahr, and instead, that man contracts a permanent marriage with her, or contracts a temporary marriage with her without specifying the time or amount of Mahr, the marriage will be void. But if the woman consents to it on understanding the position, then the marriage will be valid.

2438. In order to become Mahram (with whom marriage contract becomes haraam and is treated to be one of the close relatives), a father or a paternal grandfather can contract the marriage of his na-baligh son or daughter with another person for a short period, provided that it does not involve any scandal or moral lapse.
However, if they marry a minor boy or a girl who is not in anyway able to derive any sexual pleasure during the period from the spouse, then the validity of such a marriage is a matter of Ishkal.

2439. If the father or the paternal grandfather of an absent child, marry it to someone for the sake of becoming Mahram, not knowing whether the child is alive or dead, the purpose will be achieved only if during the period fixed for marriage, the child can become capable of consummating marriage. If it later transpires that it was not alive at the time the marriage was contracted, it will be considered void, and the people who had apparently become Mahram will all become Na-Mahram.

2440. If a husband gifts the wife of Muta'h with the period of her temporary marriage, thus releasing her, and if he has had sexual intercourse with her, he should give her all the things he agreed to give her. And if he has not had sexual intercourse with her, it is obligatory on him to give her half the amount of Mahr, though the recommended precaution is that he should give her full amount of Mahr.

2441. If a man contracted a temporary marriage with a woman, and the period of her Iddah has not ended yet, he is allowed to contract a permanent marriage with her or renew a contract for temporary marriage with her.

Karachi Stampede

2006-04-10T01:19:00.000-06:00

It was a very unfortunate accident and a big tragedy in the city of Karachi. May God Bless them all since they were there for all the right reasons; to celebrate the birth of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). However, read the following quote from Dawn.com

"Rizwan Edhi told Dawn that the Edhi Centre happened to be very close to the seminary but the people there did not allow any male rescue workers to handle the victims, being pardah observing women. It was only after the arrival of the male relatives of the victims that the rescue work could be started."

How can people be so narrow minded at a crisis time like this!! ??
Its like adding acid, not salt, to the injury! How long is it going to take for the nation to have a moderate approach to all things in life, especially at the peak of crisis ???!!!

GUESS!!!

Why do you say YA ALI (A.S) MADAD?

2006-03-27T00:26:00.000-07:00

People say that saying ya ALI Madad is Shirk. First of all let us understand the meaning of shirk. Shirk is the act which clearly depicts the association of Allah, The All-Mighty with any other being. They say that madad (help) is only from Allah and that if we ask for help from any one except Allah..then we try to associate it( or him) with Allah. Now, let all of us keep Allah as witness to our lives and answer this simple question.

HASN’T ANY SOUL IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE EVER ASKED FOR HELP?? ATLEAST FROM HIS PARENTS, IF NOT, THEN HIS TEACHERS (asking a doubt from the teacher is also taking help), IF NOT, THEN HIS FRIENDS, IF NOT THEN HE IS NOT A HUMAN. IT IS HUMAN TENDENCY TO ASK FOR HELP WHEN IN NEED, OF ANYTHING WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR US.

Then does this imply that the entire world has committed SHIRK?
NO.

You need logic to answer your own question.

Hadith Al-Rayah(Alam)
Al Bukhari mentions this tradition in his Sahih, "Kitab al Jihad wa al Siyar":
Sahl ibn Sad said: "The Prophet (pbuh&hp) said on the day of (the victory of) Khaybar:

"Tomorrow I will give the standard to a man, by whose hand God shall conquer (Khaybar). He loves God and His Messenger, and God and His Messenger love him."

The people passed the night wondering as to who will receive it and everyone was hopeful of getting it. (The next day) the Prophet (pbuh&hp) declared: "Where is Ali?" He was told: 'He is suffering with an eye pain.' (When Ali came) the Prophet applied his saliva to his eyes and prayed for him. Ali recovered as if he had no pain before. Then the Prophet (pbuh&hp) gave it (the standard) to him...

It has been narrated in Sahih al Bukhari by Anas,
“Whenever drought threatened them, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say,

"O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain." And so it would rain.
Sahih al Bukhari Volume 2, Book 17, Number 123 Chapter “Istisqaa”, Narrated by Anas.

COMMENT:

Why was the second khalifa turning to Abbas as a Wasila? Why could he not ask Allah (swt) DIRECTLY for rain? Would Afriki not deem this as an act of Shirk? Why was he placing this matter into the hands of Abbas? Umar also admits that the Sahaba would ask Rasulullah (s) to supplicate for rain “We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain” – why would they not supplicate for themselves? Did Rasulullah (s) reprimand these individuals and order them to pray DIRECTLY to Allah (swt)?

It has been noted in Mustadrak al Hakim, narrated by Umar ibn al khattab that:

“When Prophet Adam(A.S) committed the mistake and became (tarkal owla) he turned toward the skies and said: Oh Allah I swear you to Muhammad (S) that you forgive me. Allah told him: How did you know Muhammad (S) before I have created him? Adam(A.S) said: Oh Allah! When you created me with your own hands and gave me of your special soul in my body, I raised my head and saw that on the bases of the sky it has been written “la ilaha illallah, Muhammad rasolollah” There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. And I knew that you do not company your name with any other, unless you love him more than anyone. Allah (SWT) said, “(Indeed) you have said truth! I love him more than all my creations. And now (that) you have swore me to him, I have forgiven you. For if Muhammad was not there, I would not have created you.”

3. And narrated from Tabarani in Al-Nosra muraghi p. 113-114

3) Quranic References with Hadeeth

For example, all Muslims believe that it is Allãh who gives life and death to the people. The Qur'ãn itself says,

Surah Az-Zumar
"Allãh takes the souls at the time of their death." (39:42)
But at the same time, the Qur'ãn also attributes death to the angels by saying,

Surah As-Sajda
"Say: It is the angel of death (who is given charge of you) who shall cause you to die." (32:11)

If you place the imports of these two verses side-by-side (i.e., horizontal form), then you are guilty of shirk, polytheism; but if you place them in the vertical form (with the power of the angels beneath and dependent upon the power of Allãh), then you have safeguarded the tawhid.

Similarly, if we place the power and authority of the Prophets and the Imams in the vertical form (with the conviction that their power is beneath and dependent upon the power of Allãh), then we have safeguarded the tawhíd as well as the status of the chosen servants of Allãh.

Surah Baqara
Do you not know that Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that besides Allah you have no guardian or helper?(Quran 2:107)
But, at the same time, ALLAH AFFIRMS TAKING HELP.

Surah Aal-e-Imran
Let not the believers Take for friends or HELPERS Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah. (Quran 3:28)

Here, if we try to say that taking help from the believers is shirk, then we are going against the Quran. But if we consider that the believers will help us only after they are helped by ALLAH, then we have safeguarded our Tauheed.

Also some people say that we should not ask for help from the dead persons, here is the Quran.

Surah Aal-e-Imran (verses 169-170)
• And reckon not those who are killed in Allah's way as dead; nay, they are alive (and) are provided sustenance from their Lord;
• They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.

NOW WHO IN THIS WORLD CAN DOUBT ALI IBN ABI TAALIB’S ASSASINATION IN ALLAH’S WAY. IMAM ALI(a.s.) WAS ASSASINATED BY A KHAARJIITE WHILE IMAM ALI(a.s.) was in the state of prostration in the morning prayers in the mosque of kufa.SO IMAM ALI IS ALIVE, NOT DEAD. SOME PEOPLE ALSO SAY THAT IT IS MENTIONED IN THE QURAN..

[Yusufali 50:16] It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.

SO THEY SAY THAT IT IS ALLAH WHO IS CLOSER TO US THAN ANY ONE ELSE. HENCE ALLAH CAN BE OUR BEST HELPER. YES, I AGREE THAT ALLAH IS THE BEST HELPER. AND THIS VERSE HERE MEANS THAT ALLAH IS CLOSER TO US, HENCE HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT US..WHAT WE CONCEAL.

BUT DOES THIS VERSE MEAN THAT WE KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ALLAH??? [ ASTAGHFIRULLAH] {MAY ALLAH FORGIVE ME}
NO.

ALLAH IS NEARER TO US..THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ALSO ARE NEARER TO HIM.
IF THIS WAS THE CASE..THEN WHY WOULD ALLAH SAY IN THE QURAN..AS…

"O you who believe! Fear Allah and seek an approach unto Him..."
(Holy Qur'an 5:35)

DOESN’T THIS VERSE ASKS US TO SEEK THE WAYS( and waseela) TO GET CLOSER TO ALLAH?? SO IF WE SEEK AN APPROACH UNTO HIM FOR HELP..THROUGH ANYONE..WHAT IS THE HARM..INSTEAD IT WILL ACT AS A SHORTCUT.
AND WHO CAN BE NEARER TO ALAH THAN IMAM ALI(a.s.) about whom the prophet has said..

“Ali(A.S) is with the Qur’an(truth), and the Qur’an(truth) is with Ali(A.S).”

Al-Bukhari, 5/19; Muslim, 2/360; Al-Tirmidhi, 5/304; Mustadrak Al-Sahihain of Al-Hakim Al-Nisabori, 3/109; Ibn Majah, 1/28; Musnad Ahmad, 3/328.

NOW ALLAH IS TRUTH(HAQ).

SO ALLAH IS WITH ALI(A.S) AND ALI IS WITH ALLAH.
SO ALI(A.S) CAN BE THE BEST WAYS OF APPROACH TO ALLAH, BE IT FOR HELP OR FOR KNOWLEDGE.

One - Prophet Musa(A.S) and Prophet Muhammad (s) both prayed for helpers to ease their burdens

Right from the beginning of his mission Musa(A.S) prayed as follows:

“Musa said: O Allah! Assign me a Vizier from my family, (that is) my brother Haroon. Add to my strength through him, and make him share my task: that we may celebrate thy praise without stint... (Allah) said: “We granted your requests, O Musa” (The Qur’an 20:29-36)

Now here Musa(A.S) is asking for help, not from Allah (swt) alone but from his brother as well. He is NOT turning to Allah (swt) exclusively for help he is asking help from another human as well, is this an act of shirk?

Interestingly Suyuti in his commentary of the above verse sites the following tradition:

“When this verse descended, The Prophet (s) was on a mountain, straight after it’s descent, The Prophet (s) prayed to Allah, ‘Oh Allah! Through my brother Ali, ease the burden on my back’, and Allah accepted this prayer”

Tafsir Durre Manthur, by Jaladin Suyuti, Vol 4 p 295

Why is Rasulullah (s) not asking Allah (swt) for help? Would Al Khider not assert that calling on others for help is Shirk? Yet here Rasulullah (s) is asking Allah (swt) that Ali(A.S) be made his helper. This being the case is it not Sunnah to seek help from Imam Ali(A.S) ? Whose words should we deem to be more important, those of all Khider or those of Rasulullah (s)?
Two - The Bani Israil turned to Prophet Musa(A.S) for help

In Surah Araf we read as follows:

“We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls (The Holy Qur'an 7:160)”.

Here the tribe of Bani Israil were thirsty, rather than seek Allah (swt) for sustenance they turned to Hadhrath Musa(A.S) to answer their prayers. Now if seeking the aid of another is Shirk then surely Musa(A.S) would have condemned them and told them to pray to Allah (swt), but he did not. Here the 'rod' acted as a Wasila, Allah (swt) could have sent down rain from the skies, and yet Allah (swt) instructed Musa(A.S) to strike the rod on the rock. The Bani Israil turned to Musa(A.S) and it was through him that Allah (swt) answered their prayers.
Three - Prophet Sulayman(A.S) sought the help of the people not Allah (swt)

And then we have these verses in Surah Naml:

38. He said (to his own men): "Ye chiefs! which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"

39. Said an 'Ifrit, of the Jinns: "I will bring it to thee before thou rise from thy council: indeed I have full strength for the purpose, and may be trusted."

40. Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !"

FONNY STUFF

2006-03-22T00:10:00.000-07:00

Becoming an expert at dealing with cops is not so hard. Here is an interesting read:

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:
Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.
Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.
Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.
Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:
Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.
Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner' card. The driver owned the car.
Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.
Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.
Driver: No problem. Trunk is opened; no body.
Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too.

Blast Famous

2006-02-15T20:41:00.000-07:00

Why are the people so ignorant?
Why are they burning their own country?
Why aren't they Listenning to the apologies?
Why isn't someone conveying the apologies?
Why is the innocent getting killed in the cross fire?
Where is the tolerance?
Where is the thought process?
Where is the leadership?
Where is the awareness?
Where is the patience?

Blasphemous, has become Blast Famous.

Stop it. Spread peace and not hatred.
Atleast learn that from Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).

A brief History of PIB Colony

2006-02-12T03:34:00.000-07:00

Hi folks, here is a brief look at the area I loved, was raised in, played cricket, learned to drive, witnessed arial firing, burning cars, violence, helping neighbours, caring people, kind public and so many things more which would be indescribable............ one more thing to add is that the current Mayor of Karachi is also from PIB COLONY!

PIB Colony: echoes of the past
By Qadeer Hussain Tanoli
KARACHI: One of the oldest residential areas of Karachi, Pir Ilahi Bux (PIB) Colony, with its conservative ambience, still reminds visitors of the days gone by when the intellectual elite inhabited it. Narrow streets, some pushcart vendors selling old books and many other things still look as they did in the past. There, however, are a few exceptions, like high-rises in the colony, which should have looked odd in the days gone by.
The colony is named after Pir Ilahi Bux who was one of those in the vanguard of Pakistan movement and the first Chief Minster of Sindh after independence.
After the inception of Pakistan in 1947, Muslim migrants from Uttar Pardesh (also called the United Provinces, or UP) and Muslims from other parts of India settled in this colony.
It is also said that the PIB colony is the only locality in the metropolis that has a legally notified bus stop. The old residents of the area said that 30 to 35 years ago there used to a big market of old books near the bus stop frequented by avid readers o the city.
One of most famous writers of Pakistan, Anwar Maqsood, used to reside in this colony while Deputy-Convener of Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Rabita Committee, Dr Farooq Sattar also lives here. Moreover, Qamar Jalil, an ex-leader of Jamat-e-Islami, Women’s Wing, also lived in the locality. The inhabitants of the area believed that the colony has become much quieter and peaceful and bit crime-free after the shifting of old vegetable market from here to Sohrab Goth.
The main road of the locality which had been named after Zohair Akram Nadim and which connects the colony with the Jail Road often happens to be jammed due to heavy encroachment on both the sides. The noted thoroughfare of the city, Liyari Express Way, also passes close to the PIB Colony.
There are two marriage lawns, a sports complex, a maternity home, colleges, and numerous private hospitals in the colony.
The residents of the locality claim that two-room house unit along with a balcony, constructed over 200 yards used to be worth of Rs4,000 in 1948/49 whose price now has spiraled to as much as Rs3.5 million.
The PIB Colony UC under the local government system is the part of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town. Adjacent areas like Nafisabad, Aminabad, and Iqbal Colony constitute the full jurisdiction of the PIB Colony.

Thought of the month

2006-02-11T03:57:00.000-07:00

At this momment of time I would like to bring into attention the fact about the hypocrisy of the Muslims around the world and especially in Calgary. Nobody publically condemns the 20,000 plus ! Shia Muslims killed by the Wahabi Suicide Bombers in Iraq. No outrage, nothing. And yet everyone wants to demonstrate over cartoons. Secondly in University of Calgary's Friday prayers not a word mentioned about Tragedy of Karbala. No lesson learnt and nothing to be taken notice of. Praise for "Mujahideens in Fallujah" & not a word about the genocide being maintained from Saddam's times uptil now. BRAVO!

UFOs in PAKISTAN

2006-02-02T00:55:00.000-07:00

‘UFO seen in Dera tribal area’
By Our Correspondent
DERA GHAZI KHAN, Feb 1: An unidentified flying object with a flashlight was seen by the tribal people on the skies of Dera Ghazi Khan tribal area the other day.The UFO, according to eyewitnesses, came from south and passed the whole area moving towards the NWFP area on the night of Jan 29. It was seen flying over Tuman Leghari area near the DG cement factory, Tuman Buzdar and Qaisrani. The Border Military Police, however, could not find any clue to the landing of the object in its jurisdiction.A tribesman of Tuman Buzdar told Dawn that he saw the flying object with flashlight at 10pm on Jan 29. The light was so strong, he said, that he could see the ground clearly.It is worth mentioning that UFOs were seen in the area in August 2000. One of them was seen flying over several towns of Balochistan and it landed near Farid Air Base in tribal area of Rajanpur district on Aug 15. Its wreckage was removed by the authorities concerned.These UFOs came from west and moved towards east while the recently-seen object appeared from south and went to north towards the NWFP, eyewitnesses said.

Ferrari Hires Pakistani Pit Crew

2006-01-25T18:09:00.000-07:00

Ferrari's F1 Team has fired its entire Pit Crew. The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of Pakistan's unemployment, and hire unemployed Pakistani youth from Karachi. The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how they were able to remove a set of wheels from a car parked in the street in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew takes more than 8 seconds with the right equipment.This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari Management, and, as most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage over every other team.However, Ferrari's expectations were exceeded, as during the crew's first practice session; not only were 'da boyz' from Pakistan able to change the tyres in under six seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed the car, filled off the chassis number and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren's Team!!
