This picture you are seeing above is Cricket Legend Imran Khan who was mistreated by IJT Student wing goons of psuedo religious party Jamat-e-Islami and Administration of Punjab University when he reached there to address students about recent political crisis in Pakistan after Martial law.

If one remembers, this is same Imran Khan who first gave us Worldcup Cricket in 1992:

and then Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital for Cancer patients who are served free.

Regardless of his political point of view, one should not forget what he has done as a common man for his fellows. Trust me nobody could say a word if Imran would not have decided to build a hospital. Who are we? do we like interference by others? He had right to spend money and fame whereever he wanted. It’s a big big Ehsaan of Him and then several unsung Pakistani Heroes and Heroines who said Labbaik on His call and helped him to give us something which we didn’t deserve at all.

I have right to go against Imran Khan due to political point of view but what he has done for us can’t be ignored by any Pakistani. I feel we don’t deserve any good thing in this country and we were made to get screwed by generals,feudals,policians and several other kind of thugs.

Was Imran humilated? No. Was Humanity was offended? Absouletly Yes.

Those who hate Imran should have moral courage NOT to visit his cancer hospital to treat anyone in their circles.

This is not first time. Imran was offended at that time as well when MQM goons urinated all walls of Karachi by expressing their party menifesto in the form of Imran Harami, Imran Zaani and Imran Najaiz Baap ki Aulaad

The cancer which we have given as Pakistani nation to Imran is so severe that it can’t be cured in his own hospital. *sigh*

By Javeria Aqeel

A Man decided to become a wood cutter, he bought for himself a brand new saw and started his wood cutting business. He did extremely well in his new business and was able to fell many trees and earn a lot of profit. Time passed by but his business started declining.. the number of tress he was able to fell declined day by day…he was confused.. he was perturbed that what in the world was happening! How come he was so successful in the start?

Then a man came to him and told him..Look at your saw…it has become blunt due to constant usage.. you need to sharpen your saw, you need to revive it back to its previous glorious state of sharpness. This is your tool , your key to success. If your tool is blunt and weak how can you be successful?

This is the Principle of Self-Renewal. This is one of the Keys To Success, this is the 7th Habit of Highly Effective People as mentioned by Stephen R. Covey.

The 7 Habits are:

• Habit 1: Be Proactive: Principles of Personal Vision
• Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind: Principles of Personal Leadership
• Habit 3: Put First Things First: Principles of Personal Management
• Habit 4: Think Win/Win: Principles of Interpersonal Leadership
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood: Principles of Empathetic Communication
• Habit 6: Synergize: Principles of Creative Communication
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw: Principles of Balanced Self-Renewal

About 7th Habit Stephen Covey says

Sharpen the Saw is the unique endowment of continuous improvement or self-renewal to overcome entropy. If you don’t constantly improve and renew yourself, you’ll fall into entropy, closed systems and styles. At one end of the continuum is entropy (everything breaks down), and the other end is continuous improvement, innovation, and refinement. On the continuum, you go from a condition of entropy to a condition of continuous renewal, improvement, innovation, and refinement.( Source)

It seems that the Muslims of today are struck in this Entropy. They are imprisoned in ritualistic worship and merely verbal declaration of Emaan.There is no improvement, no purification , no refinement and no increase of Emaan.

Fourteen hundred years ago, Allah Tala gave us the Glorious Quran and Muslims were expected to keep increasing their faith by it and therefore keep increasing and improving their Self and to keep purifying themselves.

Allah Tala says in Surah Tawbah Ayat 124:

And whenever there comes down a Sûrah (chapter from the Qur’ân), some of them (hypocrites) say: “Which of you has had his Faith increased by it?” As for those who believe, it has increased their Faith, and they rejoice.

Allah Tala says in Surah Al-Lail Ayat 17-18

And Al-Muttaqûn will be far removed from it (Hell). He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification

Allah Tala also gave us this month of Ramadan to Sharpen up our emaan, to revive our souls and to re-energize our faith and connection with Allah and to purify ourselves. Prophet Muhammad saw gave us the wisdom of Sayaam during the day and Qayaam during the night to keep us on our toes and to Renew Our Self totally by being on a training program day and night for 30 days. Allah Tala imprisoned the Shayateen to make it easy for us to do so.

Before the Start of Ramadan, i mentioned on my blog about a “Welcome Ramadan” lecture by Safiya Khan here.

I also introduced Safiya Khan in the following words:

Safiya Khan is one of the most talented students of Dr. Farhat Hashmi. Due to her great interest and knowledge in the subject of Psychology, she beautifully and eloquently explains the concepts of the Quran based on the human psychology. Being an avid reador of she explains how the Qur’an gave the best concepts about Successful people fourteen hundered years ago which, the success literature of today provides after years of research. She brings in a unique dimension in understanding the Qur’an..

Alhamdullilah, this lecture is now available as a small booklet called “Welcome Ramadan A Self Renewal Plan.For this lecture and booklet, She has used this concept of Self Renewal from Stephen Covey This booklet gives us the practical guidelines to implement this Self renewal Process Effectively in Ramadan. The Self Renewal Process by Stephen Covey incorporates 4 dimensions Soul Mind Body Heart..

“Human beings are not things needing to be motivated and controlled; they are four dimensional�body, mind, heart, and spirit.” (Stephen Covey)

Safiya Khan has discussed these four dimensions with respect to Ramadan. What practical steps need to be taken to Renew these four dimensions in Ramadan. Read through the pdf booklet for more details. A very brief summary of the renewal plan is shown in the slide below taken from her Presentation.

Audio Lecture of “Welcome Ramadan” Lecture should be available online in a few days Inshallah.

Just like cutting trees with a blunt knife is impossible…similarly entering Jannah is impossible with a blunt, dead Emaan. If we refuse to utilize Ramadan for renewing our selves and our emaan, we are worst than a stupid wood cutter cutting trees with a terribly blunt knife.

You can download the complete lecture by Ms.Safiya Khan from here.

If you want to share anything related to Ramadan then you are most welcome to share on this blog. For details visit here.

Whenever I get time, I try to watch movies by Ummah Films. Baba Ali, an American Muslim convert, has been doing excellent job to expose different kind of evils in and out of Islam.

This movie talks about hypocrisy lie among non-Muslims as well in MUSLIMS.

Ali talks about so called moderate and liberal Muslims who spread crap in the name of Islam. About so called scholars who spread crap by using local media. Such crappy scholars and so called intellectuals also exist among us in form of Aamir Liaquat,Ghamidi and Shoaib Mansoor.

Also also expose the ignorance of non-Muslim world about Jihad and other things.

Do listen this guy,he does make sense and talks to the point.

Mr.M.A. Jinnah wanted a secular state and we know it because he wished that on 11th August 1947 speech

You would have read/heard something similar lots of time in papers,TV programs or what not in wich secular participants tried to convince that Jinnah wanted a secular Pakistan rather an Islamic state. Before I move further,let me quote the famous ambiguous speech of Mr.Jinnah which labeled him a “Secular” .

You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the State

This is the main part of his 11th August speech which to preach Secular Pakistan.

Before I move further on this topic that is Jinnah and his views, allow me to learn what’s actually Secularism or what actually is being promoted in the name of Secularism. From Online dictionary:

1. Religious skepticism or indifference.
2. The view that religious considerations should be excluded from civil affairs or public education.
3. A doctrine that rejects religion and religious considerations.

If you ask any secularist about his belief, He would just say, I just consider all religion equal. In order words secularist don’t give a damn to religion and don’t consider religion worthy enough that they give it primary importance. If you ask them, are you an atheist?, they get mad as well as got scared and say, No NO we are not atheist we are just seculars!!. I ask what’s the difference? I get no sensible answer. Let me give definition of atheism as well. From same source.

• Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.
• The doctrine that there is no God or gods.
• Godlessness; immorality
• the doctrine or belief that there is no God

Find the difference? Athiest reject God while seculars reject religion as primary element of leading life. I ask, Isn’t a religion associated with a God or a Super force? take any Abrahmic faith(Islam,Judaism or Christianity) or Hinduism, they all talk about a super force which is called Allah in Islam, G-d/Yahweh in Judaism,God in Chritianity and Om in Hinduism. All mentioned religons talk about a Super force. When we talk about super force then we also believe that He was our creator thus He defined some rules and regulations to perform different functions of His universe and set some commands for His living creatures. The set of commands ,rules and regulations which have been prescribed by Super force is called religion. So by rejecting religion means we are rejecting God’s commandment? Then how could seculars claim that they don’t hate religion? In urdu the term used for Secularism is La-Deniyat, that is No-religion. If I remmeber right that La is an arabic term for No or to negate something. So Seculars also reject the existance of any religion in their surrounding which is not differant than rejecting a super force. Atleast Atheists are better than these seculars, atleast they are honest enough and don’t demonstrate hypocrisy by promoting secularism in the disguise of Secular <Religion> where Relgion=Islam,Christianity etc.

Ok, this was my opinion which you might like to reject, why not take a look what is being said by father(s) of secularism?

From about.com

The term secularism was created in 1846 by George Jacob Holyoake in order to describe “a form of opinion which concerns itself only with questions, the issues of which can be tested by the experience of this life(English Secularism, 60)

.

Charles Bradlaugh(1833-1891),the most powerful secularist of that time said in a public debate with Holyoake in 1870 said:

Although at present it may be perfectly true that all men who are Secularists are not Atheists, I put it that in my opinion the logical consequence of the acceptance of Secularism must be that the man gets to Atheism if he has brains enough to comprehend.

so If I want to summarize it, that’s the concept of Secularism is “all religion are equal”. So if we take a=Islam b=Christianity,c=Judaism and d=Hinduism then according to secular’s defintion:

a=b=c=d that is;
a=b=c=d=null, means “we don’t give a damn to any Religion”.

In short the term secularism is very vague and I don’t find any practical Implementation of so called Secularism or equality of religion. Talking about Sepration of Church and State and equating it with Islamic ideology is lame itself. If you read in detail about Sepration of Church and state movement then it was all started by American Athiests who were not Interested to bring their kids within a state religon which is not fair with non-Bible followers. If I was a bible follower, I could also second their thought because:

They entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul. All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.(2 Chronicles 15:12-13 )

And if anyone still prophesies, his father and mother, to whom he was born, will say to him, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD’s name.’ When he prophesies, his own parents will stab him(Zechariah 13:3)

This is why they killed everyone who declared prophecy and they also killed Prophets like Zacriah(AS) and Jesus(AS)[as they claim]. Islam on other hand didn’t allow to kill any such false prophet or Apostate.

or when you are asked to follow this verse then it’s quite obvious that one would like the separation of such religion from state affairs. So demand of Separation of Church and state at that time was very fair. Since we have habit to get influenced easily with West so therefore we also wish to copy this thing as well. That’s other thing we only follow bad things of west rather good things.

These days ,three states in world are called countries who are big supporters of Secularism, America, India and Turkey. How much secular they are, I don’t need to explain you.

-India: is a Hindu dominated country where bigger minorities like Muslims are in trouble for long time. Babri Masjid destruction, Bombay/Gujrat Riots are just few examples of Indian Secularism.

-US: Eh, Mr. Bush, is it not enough to reject the idea of secularism in USA? USA is so SECULAR that they even promote In GOD WE TRUST. WHich God, they might not have idea but. umm.. Maybe Christian God or Jewish G-d?

-Turkey: The Vatican of seculars, what should I say about them? Read the related post about how Tolerent they are about their oponents.

I know I know I have gone enough beyond the topic but 1) this is not new 2) It was necessary 3) Aply both 1 &2.

So I am going to quote two different speeches of Mr. Jinnah about future state.

The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was a great teacher. He was a great lawgiver. He was a great statesman and he was a great sovereign who ruled. The life of the Prophet (PBUH) was simple according to those times. He was successful in everything that he put his hand to from as a businessman to as a ruler. The Prophet (PBUH) was the greatest man that the world had ever seen. Thirteen hundred years ago he laid the foundations of democracy(occasion of the Holy Prophet’s birthday at the Karachi Bar Association on 25th January 1948)

What does it indicate? Was not Mr.Jinnah well equipped with biography of Muhammad(Saw). Was he not highly impressed with our most dearest Prophet(saw)? and why Not?? when non-muslims could admit the greatness of our Prophet(Saw) then Jinnah was still a Muslim.

On other occasion He said:

It is my belief that our salvation lies in following the golden rules of conduct set for us by our great lawgiver, the Prophet of Islam. Let us lay the foundations of our democracy on the basis of true Islamic ideals and principles(Civil, Naval, Military and Air Force Officers at Khaliqdina Hall Karachi on 11th October 1947)

Oh my GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Jinnah just burst the bubble of Secular Ideology!! What does he meant by “Golden Rules of Prophet(Saw)”? That was nothing but Sunnah of Rasool(saw) which Itself is based upon Quran and over all it’s called Islamic Shariah. SO Jinnah just wanted Islamic Shariah in Pakistan, which Shariah? not by Sunnis, not By shias no by somoe else but which is given according to Quran and Sunnah. This is also ordered by Allah and Rasool(saw) as well.

Is this speech not enough that How well equipped was Mr.Jinnah about Shariah and How much has he studied Quran? Shame on those people who criticized on his religious integration. If Jinnah was called Kafir-e-Azam(as seculars claim) then Seculars also called him a person with no knowledge about Islam. Retards of both sides deserve to be cursed heavily. The knowledge about Islam he had was more than our imagination. It’s also interesting to note that Jinanh was not a born religious man. He started studying Islam more when he got serious about separate Muslim nation. Lets for sake of argument we accept that Jinnah was religion hater in past, then, can’t he change his views? can’t he study about particular topic? why is he cursed for his past? All great companions(RA) were infidels before Islam. Is it sane and good to curse them due to their past life rather focusing on what they achieved later? Jinnah had studied Islam throughly that’s why came up with two classic speechs about His admiration for great Prophet(saw). On other pccasion Jinnah said:

What is it that keeps the Muslims united as one man, and what is the bedrock and sheet-anchor of the community. It is Islam. It is the Great Book, Quran, that is the sheet-anchor of Muslim India. I am sure that as we go on there will be more and more of oneness, one God, one Book, one Prophet and one Nation(All-India Muslim League, Karachi on 26th December 1943)

Another one:

Every Mussalman knows that the injunctions of the Holy Quran are not confined to religious and moral duties. From the Atlantic to the Ganges, says Gibbon, the Holy Quran is acknowledged as the fundamental code, not only of theology, but of civil and criminal jurisprudence, and the laws which regulate the action and the property of mankind are governed by immutable sanctions of the will of God”. Everyone, except those who are ignorant, knows the Holy Quran is the general code of the Muslims(message of Eid to the Muslims in September 1945)

Except those who are ignorants- JInnah closed the chapter of any future propaganda about his belief, about new state by giving these three speeches and called Ignorants to those who whine about Separation of Religion and State and want law other than Quranic. Ask from guys like HoodBhoy, Cowasjee and other pro secular movement about these speeches and ask them to use their brain to figure out what was actually Jinnah’s dream.

You ‘re free to go Temple,Church..- How the heck does it mean Secularism? as I said Jinnah had studies Islam then what Jinnah said, was it something against what Allah said in Quraan?

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing(Quran 2:256)

in Urdu:

دین (اسلام) میں زبردستی نہیں ہے ہدایت (صاف طور پر ظاہر اور) گمراہی سے الگ ہو چکی ہے تو جو شخص بتوں سے اعتقاد نہ رکھے اور خدا پر ایمان لائے اس نے ایسی مضبوط رسی ہاتھ میں پکڑ لی ہے جو کبھی ٹوٹنے والی نہیں اور خدا (سب کچھ) سنتا اور (سب کچھ) جانتا ہے

Is it Not enough? If not then read the last aya of Surah Kafiron:

For you is your religion, and for me is my religion(109:6)

HOw Jinnah said something different than that when he said on 11th August?

When Omar Bin Khattab(RA) entered in Jerusalem which He(RA) conquered easily without any fight as it was a Biblical prophesy, Omar(RA) freed everyone to perform prayers according to his faith . When Moors ruled in Spain, they give equal protection to Jews and Christian and allow them to perform prayers according to their faith. Non-Muslims needed something like secularism because their Bible had no such thing of equal status neither there was such thing within Hinduism. Islam gave equal rights to non-muslims as well. Why do we muslims see something foreign when everything is mentioned in Islam? Does that not mean that those who reject the supremacy of Islam are ignorant and blind enough that they never studied Quran properly?

So what actually these seculars and liberals want in Pakistan? Jinnah’s dream? which dream? Islamic state, Offcourse not, they don’t want such thing. then what? Well.. what I think that they want to implement their own filthy “religion” in the name of Jinnah. What Jinnah wanted , I mentioned by quoting his speech. His speech of 11th August doesn’t reflect that He was a religion hater. His 11th august speech is according to Quranic Verses and according to government of Omar(RA) in Jerusalem.

Those who blame Jinnah as a secularist are those who always confuse about their own identity. I remember while reading an article by Cowasjee an year back, he mentioned that he met Salahuddin ,”Sallu”(Haveli Fame), Sallu got disturbed when he found the urdu meaning of secularism as Ladeniyat and tried to seek some term which don’t reflect seculars as Atheists. It brought on my face that How confused these seculars are.

People would keep blaming Jinnah for their own interest but what actually was Jinnah could be learnt from his speeches. When people could blame Muslims as followers of Mod God then how could they forgive Jinnah and labeling him as Secularist? Pakistan and Israel are two states which are based on religion. Pakistan was established on 27th Ramadan. How could Pakistan be a non-religious state which was described by Iqbal as:

Meer-e-Arab ko aaee thandi hawa jahan se,
Mera watan wohi hai, mera watan wohi hai.
(From where the Prophet Mohammed(saw) received a cool breeze,
That is my motherland, that is my motherland.)

which is based on Hadith of Rasool(SAw) in which He(saw) said that He feels attraction towards Hind- Why did Prophet(saw) attraction? These are few things which force to Ponder about creation of Pakistan for specific purpose. What Specific purpose? it was nothing but leading life according to Islam which Jinnah wished and spread Islam all over. Today Pakistan is the only country which is center of spreading Islam all over the world via various form of Tableegh. Pakistanis are busy in spreading message of Allah everywhere in world even in Israel. How such state could be established on basis of secularism? Nobody could give any sensible answer yet, even seculars. If Jinnah just wanted a secular state then why the heck did he get a separate state at first palace? was India not enough to provide security to Hindus or seculars believed Gandhi and Nehru impotent enough that they wasn’t able to guard their own fellows? If you ask seculars about then, they would start discussing everything but will not give you proper answer.

May Allah fulfill the dream of Jinnah which He saw as an Islamic Pakistan which follow the teachings of His admirer and our Prophet(saw).- Ameen

I often recieves emails from the people who are subscribed with my appliction MSN QURAN BOT. Today I recieved an email from Egypt in which a lady Jessica asking helps to collect funds for arranging Quran or other Islamic materials for the prisoners in US or around the world. I think it’s a very noble and good project because prisoners require more attentions since they lead isolated lives. If we can help them by arranging Islamic materials then it’s a great reward. Below is the email which I recieved.

Salaam Alaikum,

My name is Jessica as most of you may know I work with the Conveying Islamic
Message Society in Alexandria Egypt. I would like to take this time to
explain that I am trying to put together a dawah project to ensure that
prisons are properly supplied with Quran’s and Islamic materials for the
muslim inmates and people who are interested. I have come across a lot of
letters that have been mailed to me and also online where people are
complaining that prisoners don’t have access to Quran’s during Ramadan and
so on. Here i have attached some of the letters i received and scanned and
also below is an email request for Quran’s. I wish that everybody who
receives this and can not contribute by sending books at least reposts this
to all their email contacts. If this email happens to reach any
organizations that help by sending books I would like to be contacted as i
have several institutions and email requests for Islamic literature.
Your Sister in Islam, Jessica

I am also giving the URL of scanned letters which were discussed in her mail. I uploaded on my website. THE URL is http://kadnan.googlepages.com/prisoninmatesneedislamicmaterials.zip or click here.

The email of Jessica is given below:

Email her,check whether she’s genuine and do help her.

Jazakallah.
