These men are not prophets and we are not Ansaar! All they are bent upon doing is making our lives miserable making us feel ashamed of being from the sub-continent.<br /><br />I have written against Halloween for an entirely different reason.

On those two days they had carnivals and festivity. Prophet Muhammad (saw) asked the Ansar (the Muslims of Madinah) about it. They replied that before Islam they used to have carnivals on those two joyous days. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) told them: 'Instead of those two days, Allah has appointed two other days which are better, the days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.'

Blown to smithereens, yes, all our hopes and dreams associated with our country are raped every day. “Bloody civilians” and “bloody expats” we all have become either too self involved or numb because of the day to day struggles that are imposed on us by the selfish leaders. <br /><br />Loved reading through this, even though its depressingly sad. But then, truth usually hits us in the face. <br /><br />There is no cherry picking the whole blog is great but following are my favorite bits <br /><br />“Why has faith, as revealed in the noble Qur’an and taught by the messenger of Allah, turned so violent with the accursed arrival of American forces in Afghanistan? Count the militant groups created by our intelligence agency with the aid of foreign agencies and which have blown both the ordinary citizens and the purest of faiths into smithereens. Pakistanis have reacted sharply to the recent cold-blooded murders of Chechens in Quetta, that of journalist Saleem Shahzad and the one of a youth in Karachi. Despite blatant attacks on the Navy, the Air Force and the Army, there exist apparently sane educated people amongst us who never tire of eulogizing the loss of life our ‘security forces’ alone seem to suffer, treat the General Headquarters as holy ground, and who label critics as traitors.”<br /><br />“Pakistan’s foundation was fool-proof but it was never upgraded to being duffer-proof”<br /><br /><br />“Once your haqooqALlah and haqooq al-i'bad are done, God has nothing to do with the mode you choose for your entertainment as long as it is not extreme in nature.” <br /><br />I agree. <br /><br />I wish that the revolt will come before extinction -MSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-39906795096488347192011-06-19T18:01:01.945+05:002011-06-19T18:01:01.945+05:00Thanks for your comments Ibrahim.

Mind you, it still ends with a suggestion AFTER the case has been fully presented.<br />There's hard-hitting analysis and satire in my piece but no hopelessness. I always hang on to hope.<br />I feel like writing a separate article about Basant but I've pretty much said what I wanted to say.<br />What's next, Islamic hockey in 'jubba', women's wrestling in 'Abaya', swimming in shalwar qameez?<br />Sports are either good clean fun or downright reckless and dangerous. Even going to the shower is dangerous!<br />Once your haqooqALlah and haqooq al-i'bad are done, God has nothing to do with the mode you choose for your entertainment as long as it is not extreme in nature.<br />The clever folks of Lahore did invent a device to dodge the kite-flying thread ('dore'). How about innovating instead of banning?<br />Finally, those who are not from this region have no clue what Basant (spring festival) means to us and needn't raise shrill voices that deprive people of enjoyment and the feeling of togetherness.Tahir Gul Hasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441522340391282744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-82434523742865448732011-06-19T15:14:35.273+05:002011-06-19T15:14:35.273+05:00Such angst!

The Prophet PBUH asked them about it. They said that its for celebrations and enjoying. To which Prophet replied that "Aren't the two Eids enough for you?" Not exact words but you can verify this anecdote easily from various sources.<br /><br />Secondly, ignoring the loss of life, I have seen people spending beyond their means and wasting millions of rupees on an activity which from economic value addition/productivity wasteful.<br /><br />Finally, you seem to have lost hope in this blog piece.Ibrahim Khalilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979068210040167221.post-64977935064099094412011-06-18T13:24:06.992+05:002011-06-18T13:24:06.992+05:00Thanks, RK jee, for your comments and kind wishes....Thanks, RK jee, for your comments and kind wishes.

The dirty rotten feudal mindset took over swarming the entire infrastructure of this country which had great potential. It spread like an evil Octopus with its multiple arms adulterating every corner of the Establishment!
