It so happens that we enter a room for a purpose but the moment we enter, we forget why we came altogether. Then in this brief period our attention diverts to some other task and we get engross in it. And after considerable time we suddenly remember the real task and we have a chance to complete it. The world is like that room, we entered in it with a purpose but we got distracted. before our time comes, we must do something about it or else, we'll be in " khasara" greatest loss after which there is no going back. So what we need to do is be attentive all the time. Keep your purpose in your mind. I know that this is difficult. Allah said so himself that life of a momin is difficult. there's a hadis, I cant remember the exact words the excerpt is: "The path to heaven is filled with thorns and the way to hell is laden with flowers." And that: " The world for a believer is like a prison" So now we are clear about our life and our destiny. both are...
The advertise of "Parhny likhny k siwa, Pakistan ka matlab kia" on Geo TV always disturb me. It makes me think, how would the education, they talk about in it, be able to change our generation's attitude and help us to work for the betterment of Pakistan?

In fact our syllabus has not been changed for like 40 years. I was shocked to discover some 6 or 7 years back that I studied same syllabus which my mother studied in her metric and on-wards.

A Person Disenthralled from Fear How might a man or woman actually act if s/he were truly emancipated from fear? Is this even imaginable? How might this manifest as solidarity, equality, and freedom? What might this look like, in the everyday concrete world? What might it look like, in the world, if, as Allama Iqbal has shared, people were to discover God in themselves? What sorts of so-called personal qualities would appear as a result of a new actualization of Tauheed? What qualities would (naturally) manifest through/across humanity as a result of a living Tauheed? What I offer here are some ideas - certainly not definitive - as an example of what this might look like. I also offer this as a follow-up on the excellent post by Noor. I can offer only what my thimble-of-a-mind can comprehend of this potential range of possibilities and human evolution. As I share...
