Explanation of Surah No 98 of Quran AL- BAIYINAH (The Clear Evidence)

                    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Some learned men say about this Surah that it was revealed in Mecca while some says that it was revealed in Median. The topic is to say that a Messenger or a Warner is necessary with a Holy Book to bring the stray people on the righteous. The stray people may be from the people of the Book e.g. Jews and Christians who have their mixed their pure Holy Books of Bible and Tora Which were inspired by their Lord with their own made laws to suit their own fantasies and desires, or they may be from Pagans either completely rejecting One True God or believing in Oneness of Allah, but worshipping different self made gods and goddesses and giving Allah’s Attributes to them. Therefore it was necessary with Allah’s Mercy to send the promised Mohammad (PBUH) and the Holy Book of Quran to correct them and to modify their Holy Books in which they have made a lot of changes by their own mixed up ideas and to make them understand to differentiate between Rights and Wrongs with correct guidance from their Lord so that they will know where they were going wrong.

Then Allah says about the corruption of the People of Books that they were given the guidance by their Lord in the inspired Books which were Pure and Holy and they were given the Messenger Moses and Jesus but they mixed up Allah’s True Books with their own fancies by worshipping from Allah’s own creation created by Him and giving them the degree of god which Allah has never allowed them to do so e.g. Jews say Uzair as son of God and the Christians says Jesus as son of God or one of the three. They have mixed their True Religion with falsehood. Therefore they are fully responsible for their own consequences.

Allah says that all of them were ordered to worship One True God, perform their prayers and give Alms to the poor and needy, which had been a True Religion from centuries and Mohammad (PBUH) announces the same True Religion. Therefore with His Mercy, He has sent the last Messenger and the True Guidance in His Inspired Book of Quran. So from the people of the Book and the polytheist if any one rejects His Messenger and His Holy Books of Quran, so he will not be able to escape from the worst punishment of the Fire of Hell where he will remain there forever.

Man is Allah’s best Creation who had been given the faculty to differentiate between good and evil, but it is very sad that he does not use his reason, instead he disbelieves and disobeys his Lord and rejects His Messengers.

In the end Allah says that whoever from the People of Book and from the polytheist repents and come to the righteous will believe and worship One True God and obeys Him and His Last Messenger (PBUH) sent by Him and will do plenty of good deeds will be rewarded with the promised Gardens of Paradise. Allah well pleased with him he well pleased with his Lord.

Explanation of Surah No 97 of Quran AL-QADR (The Night of Honours)

Explanation of Surah No 97 of Quran AL-QADR (The Night of Honours)

                    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This is probably a Meccan Surah revealed in Mecca the subject matter is the Night of Power (or Honour), in which Revelation came down to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) for the first time through Angel Gabriel when he was confined to his worship in the Heera cave in Mecca, in the Month of Ramadan.

The Theme of this Surah is to show the importance of the Holy Book of Quran.

In the beginning Allah strictly says that this is your Lord who has revealed this Quran and for sure it is not the composition of His Messenger (PBUH)

Then Allah says the Message of Allah descended down on One Special Night in the form of the first five verses of Surah 96 Al-Alaq and the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was chosen as Allah’s Messenger. In that Auspicious Night, the spiritual darkness was dispersed by the Glory of Allah, giving rise to the soul the sense of security and peace which last until Dawn. All through that Honourable Night there is Peace and Goodness from your Lord to His Believing slaves, until the appearance of Dawn.

Allah says that this particular Honourable Night is better than the thousand nights since on this Night the Qur’an was revealed to remove the spiritual darkness by the Glory of Allah. This in fact was a great incident that happened on the Powerful Night that Allah’s Guidance was given to His men in a form of complete Book of Qur’an. Most probably that Night the whole Qur’an was given to His Angel by Allah from His Divine Computer and then in the next twenty three years according to the guidance needed to His mankind, the verses were revealed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) Any good deed done in this Auspicious Night is most rewarded. On that Night the Spirit (Angel Gabriel) and the Angels come down by Allah’s command and all this last until the dawn, and Allah takes the good decision suitable to His mankind. The sincere worship offered to your Lord and plenty good deeds give rise to sense of security and wonderful peace of our Souls, with plenty rewards in the Hereafter.

Now when is that Auspicious Night?

Narrated Aisha, the wife of Prophet (PBUH) that Allah’s Messenger (PBUH), “search for the Night of Qadar in the odd Nights of ten Nights of Ramadan may be 21^st, 23^rd, or 27^th Night of Ramadan The exact night is not mentioned, may be for the reason that the believers won’t confined themselves to only one particular Night for worship and good deeds but they should continue on other nights as well to collect and build their most Rewards in the Hereafter.

Explanation of Surah No 96 of Quran IQRA or AL-ALAQ (The Clot)

                In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This Surah from Verses 1-5 were the First direct Revelation to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) there was an interval, may be few months or may be a year. Soon after the rest of the verses from 6-19 revealed in which Allah gave Him the Command to preach

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was unlettered but His mind was full of spiritual knowledge, so He was chosen by his Lord as His Messenger to convey the Message of Truth to the Meccan Pagans, That time his age was forty and his wife Lady Khadija was fifteen years senior to him.

The Prophet (PBUH) often used to go and sit in the cave Hira in Mecca and used to seclude himself from the rest. He believed in One True God and used to worship Him in his own way. Up till then he was not taught the compulsory Prayers. He was a very kind and honest man always ready to help the Poor and needy and his people used to respect him for his qualities, and honesty, before the start of his Missions of Preaching.

One day when he was meditating in the cave Hira, when Angel Gabriel came to him to prepare him for the task of his Mission to go to the Pegan Quraish and to give the Message of Allah of True Faiths to Worship One True God and to cancel their ancestral worship.

He was asked by Angel Gabriel to “Read”. He was very frightened and said that he was unlettered to face such heavy task. But he had to bow to the will of His Lord. He came home and explained this episode to his wife and she considered it very important and her cousin Nofel declared that it was Angel Gabriel who he met and that he was chosen as Allah’s Messenger but he would suffer a lot of persecution by his people.

The second part from Verses 6-19 reveals when the Prophet (PBUH) started offering his Prayers in the Mosque Haram as was taught to him by Angel Gabriel. Haram was made the centre of idol worship for the entire Arabs. Abu Jahal was his worst enemy and could not tolerate his worship of bowing down to One True God, and cancelling all their false gods. So he threatened the Messenger to crush his head on the ground with his foot and will bring a gang of powerful men for his help. Once he tried to commit awe and run away.

The Prophet (PBUH) was taught by Angel Gabriel to begin first “In the Name of Allah who is the Creator, Who created man from a leach like clot” (This is the early stage of the embryo, After fertilization of male sperm with a particular chosen egg in the mother’s womb, very tiny cell is formed which multiply very fast and becomes a clot of blood which looks like leech and moves about, a lowly origin of man. This was revealed by Allah about 1400 years ago recently science has invented it)

Then a direct Message was given to the Prophet (PBUH) that his Lord is a Cherisher, a concrete Message of Allah the Creator to His Creatures whom He loves and cherishes. Then this lowly origin in man was offered a high destiny in his intellectual, Moral and spiritual knowledge by his most Bountiful Creator. He taught us to write (The first person to write was Prophet Enoch i.e. Idris). Allah teaches us new knowledge at every given moment as gifts from Allah in form of strength, beauty, wealth, position, power and talent. But man mistakes these gifts as his own achievements and instead thanking Him becomes arrogant and transgresses His Bounds. But in the end he will have to face the result of his rejection.

Then Allah gives the reference of Abu Jahal, the bitter enemy of the Prophet and Islam, who used to insult and humiliate the Prophet (PBUH) and his Believers. He used to attack to prevent him going for prayer and stop the others as well from following him. Allah will appoint the guards of hell over him and on his colleagues. And all of them joined together could not obstruct the Devine Mission. Therefore Allah says that all the combined forces of evil, having worldly appearance in their favour and for time being seems successful would not stand against Allah but surely they will be punished severely by their Lord. But the Righteous will have no fear, since they bow down in adoration to their Lord which is in defense from evil which brings them close to Allah, much more closer than their Jugular Veins.

Explanation of Surah No 95 of Quran AT-TIN (The Fig)

Explanation of Surah No 95 of Quran AT-TIN (The Fig)

                        In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This is an Meccan Surah.

This Surah appeals to the most sacred four symbols to show that Allah created man in the best of the moulds, but the man is capable of utmost degradation unless he has Faith and leads a Righteous life since the Final Judgement is sure to come.

These four sacred symbols are the Fig, the olive, Mount Senai, and the Sacred city of Mecca. The figs and the Olives are very delicious, but in its wild state it is nothing but a tiny seeds and in size it is conspicuous. The figs grow most in Syria and olives in Palestine where most of the Prophets were introduced by Allah from Abraham (A.S) to Jesus (A.S) who were the Prime examples of Allah’s Righteous creatures. Next is Mount Senai Where the Laws were given to Prophet Moses (A.S) to lead his Nation of Israel on Righteous and where the Glory of Allah was made visible to him. The last is the city of Mecca. Its foundation was laid by Prophet Abraham who witnesses the example of Righteous by blotting out the ancestral idolism and flying the flag of the worship of One True God and made it a peaceful city. But now this sacred city is full of idolaters and corruptions, where no one has any peace and the same city abused the greatest Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Therefore Allah says that these symbols refer to Allah’s Light of Revelation which offers man the highest destiny if he will follow His Righteous ways. It also shows that Allah created man in the best possible moulds by giving him faculty of knowledge thus made him Vicegenerant that no other His creation could compete him. Allah says that the man by striving in His way can achieve the noble destiny and righteous deeds but when he falls at his worst, he is lowest of the low, goes down so deep in his evil deeds without any shame so much so that he leaves no respect for himself nor for his fellow beings, falling lower that the beast e.g. the beast will go after one prey only when he is hungry and he does not kill the general killings of many animals in his greed, but on the contrary man in his greed invent dangerous bombs, arms and ammunition to kill a lot of men in one go for his satisfaction. He will have no shame to rape old or young or even little children and then murder them, thinking no one has any power to stop him. So with Allah’s universal scheme that if man likes the evil so much, so let him go for it. Then he goes so deep in sins that he falls lowest of the lower than the beasts and he will be kept in the lowest possible position if he rebels his Lord for Judgement is sure to come.

You can see these two types of people in the human society the Righteous and the wrong doers, so how you expect their consequences should be the same? E.g. if you have any claim of any kind then don’t you approach to the Court of Justice? Therefore the Final Judgement has to come where in His court of Justice. Allah will punish the wrong doers and they cannot escape from His Grip. While the Righteous has nothing to fear and will get the Best rewards by their Lord in the Hereafter.

Explanation of Surah No 91 of Quran ASH-SHAMS (The Sun)

                       Explanation of Surah No 91 of Quran ASH-SHAMS (The Sun)

                In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This is an early Meccan Surah.

The topic of this Surah is to make the Meccan Pagans realize the difference between rights and wrongs and to warn them the consequences of their wrong ways of life which was very common those days and the Pagans were very proud to enjoy their wrongs but never prepared to leave and come to Righteous.

In the beginning of this Surah Allah vows on the Sun and the Moon, The Day and The Night and the Sky and the Earth to make them understand that these are the contrast in Allah’s Sublime Creation. Sun is so bright and gives a lot of heat and shines while Moon is Just opposite i.e. pale and conspicuous.

Next is Day and Night, opposite to each other i.e. one is bright and the other is dark, so the difference is very obvious.

Then next contrast is given of sky which is above spreaded high and down is spreaded is Earth. Both belong to the same University yet they are different to each other. Same way Allah has created a man and breathed in him a soul with given faculty of knowledge, senses, understanding in due proportion and relative perfection, so he is able to differentiate between sin and piety. Allah has kept an instinct in him which is conscience which makes him realize when he is wrong as something inside him screams and tells him to be careful else he will face the bad consequences. If a man can see the vast differences between Allah’s given Nature of Sun and Moon, Night and Day, and Sky and the Earth then why can’t he see the differences between rights and wrong? And how can he say that both should have the same consequences. In the court of this world the Judge Punishes the sinners and rewards the righteous, so how can they expect in the Court of Justice of their Lord it should be different and have no result. Allah also sent His Messengers and the Books to guide them and warn them for their wrongs.

Therefore by these tokens man should learn that his success and his salvation depend on keeping his soul pure by choosing the height of right ways. And his failure and his decline on soiling his souls by choosing the wrongs.

Then Allah gives the example of Nation of Thamud whose Warner and Messenger was Prophet Saleh (A.S) The Meccans used to see their ruins of their destruction in the North of Hijaz. This is to make them realize the necessity of Messenger to Strengthen their knowledge of Rights and wrongs with its consequences. Thamud people were arrogant and astray, rejected their Messenger of Allah. So he warned them with a she camel as a sign to let her alone drink water by the Command of Allah from the reserve on her drinking day and let her come no harm or else you will face a grievous Chastisement, but they killed her, thus they were destroyed by Allah and He was not at all sorry for destroying them.

Thus this Surah ends with a warning of terrible consequences for those who wants to remain in their wrongs and have no fear of Hereafter.

                In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

THIS IS AN EARLY Meccan revelation and refers to the relation of the Holy Prophet (Peace And Blessings Upon Him) with the city of Mecca. He was born in the City of Mecca which had been sacred for ages. He belonged to a noble family but he was an orphan, and the orphans in his days had very poor time. He was unlettered but he had Divine Guidance. He protested against idolatry and sins, for that his own people persectuted him and cast him out. He should have been respected and loved in his native city. But he and his followers were put under a ban and hardship. Allah says that for sure that soon the time will come when he with his followers will triumphantly enter the native city.

The Meccan Pagans were astray and arrogant and did  not want anyone to interfere into their corrupted ways. They were quite happy to believe that

Explanation of Surah No 84 of Quran AL-INSHIQAQ (The Splitting Asunder)

                    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

This is an early Meccan Surah. The Meccan Pagans were strictly against the Mission of Prophet Mohammad (Peace And Blessings Upon Him) rejecting the Faith and mocking the Rise after Death and the Day of Judgment its rewards and punishments which lead them in the darkness of evil.

In the beginning Allah explains the passing away of this world to make a way for a New World of Reality indicated by two facts. First is the heavens which is a matter will split a sunder. They remain so long as Allah dissolution, they will obey their Lord and vanish and all their mysteries will be emptied out. Second the Earth, which is a globe, enclosing within it many secrets will stretch out by flying away the mountains, buildings etc and will throw up by His command and bodies of many generations buried in its soil to obey its Lord. And the men will be resurrected.

Then Allah says that the people will be divided according to their deeds. The lot who were given their Books of Record into their Right hand will be the fortunate ones, who strived hard in their worldly stay and gave the sacrifices of the worldly lusts and were Righteous Believers. So they will get the best possible Rewards and many more their Lord. But the lot who rejected the Truth will get their Lord. But the lot who rejected the Truth will get their Books in their left hand. In fact they will take their Books with shame from behind their backs. These are the ones who strived to please themselves to achieve their lusts and desires of this world. They had no fear of their Lord. In fact they were lost in the whims of their present world and thought that there is no catch on them.  They were too busy to get the best of the world for themselves and their families even if they had to break any Allah’s Bound by many crook ways. So now they will be in the agony of Blazing Fire crying for death to end their miseries and torments. They never believed that they will be resurrected and will have to give their accounts. But Alas! There is no death anymore for them but the taste of Fire forever.

Then Allah vows to say that nothing is permanent in this life by giving examples of sun which shines and the people worshipped it which is not even permanent, which vanishes with the twilight. Then the Night comes and darkness follows, then the moon appears and stage by stage grows and then decline, same way the man travels stage by stage and his life is not permanent. That is he has to return to his goal to answer for his deeds.

Therefore Allah says as what is wrong with him that he does not pay any attention to his Lord and prostrate out of respect and humble gratitude to his Lord. But rejects the Big Day thinking he is responsible and can do what he likes which really is the core of every evil. So give him the painful news of agonizing Blazing Fire if he does not repent.

And to those who are Believers and Righteous, give them the good News of the Best Reward of the everlasting Bliss of Paradise.

Mob Lynching Against Humanity By Liyakat Shah

Mob Lynching Against Humanity By Liyakat Shah

Recently a young guy from London was distracted and disturbed mentally due to some tension and stress on mind as a result he thought to put an end to such a stressful and sorrowful life. So he planned of committing a suicide by jumping from a tall bridge into the river in London. As he decided to finally jump into the river people from passerby notice about his acts and one by one in all many people assemble to save his precious life. The situation was worth watching because some hold of his neck, some tied him with a rope, some caught his legs, some hold his belt, some caught his neck some paints waist and all of them were talking with him very politely to change and divert his mind of committing suicide to end his life. The dozens of people who caught him in order to save his life were none of his near or dear ones or any of his relatives. All were just only citizen of his country that is London. They tried every means and came into action with whatever things or ideas they had, without bothering about who the person or the religion. It was a beautiful act of humanity that binds all the citizens together. For them life of every human being or a species is precious and needs to be safeguard and protected irrespective of caste, creed or gender.

But very sad to say that in our country that is India, the situation is exactly opposite totally different and against the above mentioned instance. In London dozen of people together try to prevent one single life of a human on the basis of humanity, but in India we find dozens or more in group try to kill a human being in the name of Mob Lynching. No religion in the world teaches or preaches hatred or appreciates any acts of violence and mob lynching in the name of religion. India is a multi religious country and all have equal rights to live here no one is inferior or superior in the eye of Constitution written by the Architect of Indian Constitution Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. It is the responsibility of the Government at Centre and State to handle such miscreants who create serious threat to our country as well as constitution. The so called minority people are also the citizens of India and they also have equal rights as other citizens. It is our culture of different religion, region, food; places of worship and language bind us together to make us Indian.

Every single person who lives in India his or her life is precious and Government should take the responsibility to safeguard and protect its legacy. The pain and suffering can be only heard from those people who lost their near and dear ones due to such heinous crime of mob lynching. There are so many a death due to such crime the list is very long. Those people who are indulge in such things should think and analysis themselves what we are doing and why we are doing such things those killed are also our fellow citizen, if they find anything odd on suspicions let the law do its work which is not permitted by our own religion and Constitution. Our beautiful country is already facing many crises and such instances would add more problems to the development of our country.

The pain and suffering of an Indian brother who speaks for a mother and father who lost their son, a widow who lost her husband, a sister who lost her brother and for the beautiful  country India who lost one of its precious citizen of democratic, secular and republic India

Mother Teresa The Icon of Real Mother By Liyakat Shah

Mother Teresa The Icon of Real Mother By Liyakat Shah

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Mother Teresa was born on 26th August 1910  in Skopje, a capital Republic of Macedonia. Since her childhood people began her calling nun as she was rendering service towards poor and ill people. Later on at the age of 18 she was granted the permission to join a group of nuns in Ireland. While staying in between the nuns she received a lot of training and experience, and later on in 1931 she was given the permission to travel to India under the name as St Therese of Lisieux the patron Saint of missionaries. On her arrival in India she began working as a teacher in St. Marry school in Calcutta, but the widespread poverty sufferings and illness of people in Calcutta kept posing some serious questions to her mind. So this led to start a new chapter in mankind to form an organisation "The Missionaries of Charity". The sole motive and objective of it was to look after those people whom people do not look or neglect. Mother Teresa had an impact of teachings of fundamental principles of Prophet Jesus i.e. Isa Peace and Blessing Upon Him. Mother Teresa said that “Love cannot remain by itself – it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service.” Mother Teresa had chosen to wear a simple attire, she wore simple white Indian Sari with a outside blue border as a mark of respect towards Indian culture. Her sari was a symbolic with two colours which had meanings the three blue bands was associated with Mother Marry Peace And Blessings Upon Her and White was associated with peace, truth and purity. Mother Teresa had to survive and work for the cause of sufferings of the people she and her fellow nuns did not have much to survive their financial conditions was not up to the mark, so they very often came on roads to beg for the funds for the cause of the poor people. Later on their move for rendering free service was appreciated by the people, local leaders and also some politicians. Later on her tireless work towards the poor people and humanity began to expand to many countries. In 2013 there were 700 plus missionaries working actively in over 130 countries. People with below poverty line, orphanage, leposary patients, any with many other illness were of various faiths and religion who  became the part of this missionary. Mother Teresa was of Catholic by faith and was against any caste discrimination, divorce, abortion and many other social crimes. Her famous quote towards people was “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitutes a threat to peace.” She didn’t attend the ceremonial banquet but asked that the $192,000 fund be given to the poor. And said that
“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”
When she was asked how to promote world peace, she replied, “Go home and love your family”.
Over the last two decades of her life, Mother Teresa suffered various health problems, but nothing could dissuade her from fulfilling her mission of serving the poor and needy In Calcutta, Mother Teresa began an Open Air school and established a home for the destitute. She persuaded the local city government to donate a dilapidated building she could use. Over the next two decades, she established a leper colony, an orphanage, a nursing home, a family clinic and a string of mobile health clinics
In 1971, she opened her first house of charity in the West in New York, US. She eventually suffered a heart attack and had a pacemaker surgically fitted to her chest. Even after this devastating condition of her health, she continued to work for another eight years.
“The hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone. “In 1985, President Ronald Reagan awarded her the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1972 she was awarded the Indian ‘Nehru Prize’ “for the promotion of international peace and understanding”.
Lastly Mother Teresa died at the age of 87, due heart failure on September 5, 1997 in Calcutta.

Eid -Ul- Azha teaches Faith in Allah and submission to Allah's Will.

                        Eid -Ul- Azha teaches Faith in Allah and submission to Allah's Will.

                            In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Faith in Allah and submission to Allah's Will. On Eid-ul-Azha, we remember the trial Allah put Prophet Ibrahim and his family through four thousand years ago. Eid-Ul-Azha is the greatest festival of Muslim which is celebrated all over the world. It is celebrated annually and falls on the 10th day of Dhul Haj of the lunar Islamic calendar. It is since ages that the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) is being carried on and kept alive by Almighty God Allah Rabbul Izzat. Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) had a dream from Almighty God to sacrifice His beloved son Ismail (A.S) in the name of Allah. For which both father and son were very patient and tolerant. He and His son did not hesitate to fulfil the desires of God as shown in the dream. The festive activities of Eid last for consecutive three days. Eid-Ul-Azha occurs the day after the pilgrims performing Haj which is an annual gathering of pilgrimage at Mecca to perform rituals at Mecca, Mina, Arafah, Muzdalifa, and stoning of devils at jamarat in Saudi Arabia. Muslims from world wide irrespective of caste, creed, colour, creed, tribe, nation or place gather in Mecca wearing same clothes and lined in queue to offer congretion to seek blessings and mercy of Almighty God Allah. Even a king or a Prince of its time would stand next to a poor peasant or a slave. There is no discrimination of any kind between black and whites Arabs or non.arabs, all wear same clothes and perform same activities at one glance chanting all praises to Almighty God as Allah is the Greatest of Great, the creator of this Universe.
The Arabic word for sacrifice is Qurban and in Kurdish it is said Cejna Qurbane and in Pashto it is Kurbaneyg Akhtar in Chinese it is Guebang Jie in Malay and Indonesian it is Hari Raya Korban in Turkish it is Kurban Bayrami. In India in Hindi and Urdu speaking areas say Baqra Eid. Baqr is Arabic word which means goat or a cow. Every person who is well versed in terms status of money or who has a sound position in terms of wealth is entitle to perform sacrifice of animal rather we can say it is mandatory for a rich people, and also those people who can afford to do it should do it. Domestic animals such as goats, sheep, cow, ox, camels are used for sacrifice. The animal chosen for sacrifice must be of best of best quality in terms of look, health and appearance. Any defects in his physical or mental department are unacceptable for sacrifice. Similarly the animal should also meet the age factor. In small animals goat, sheep so on we have just one share while in big animal we have seven shares, which can be owned by either one person or seven different person. The whole meat is to be divided into three parts one for poor and needy people, another for relatives and last share for our selves. Men, women and children are dressed in the finest clothing to perform the Solat of Eid-Ul-Azha either in an open ground specially made for Eid prayer known as Eidgah or even at mosque. The festival teaches us to sacrifice our beloved things without any hesitations in the name of Allah Rabbul Izzat.

World Health Organization By Liyakat Shah

            The World Health Organization Day

The World Health Organization is an agency of the United Nations that shows deep concerns about people health care at the international level. It was established on 7th of April 1948, and its headquarter is located in Geneva that is Switzerland. The WHO is a member of the United Nations Development Group.
Today we find that so many people around the globe suffer from innumerable medical problems. There are many reasons for it and people with sound status and money have many options available in hand to have best of best medical facilities in order to get well soon. But big question mark lies on those people who are deprived of such so called medical facilities, they do not even have basic medical facilities for themselves as well as for their near and dear ones. There basic necessities is also deprived. They do not get proper notorious food to eat for growth of the body parts and it stops in between giving rise to various type of deficiencies and diseases. Lack of proper food leads to imbalance of inner and outer growth of the body. Such poor people are not much bothered about their health and so on, and it leads to various types of dreadful non curable diseases which ultimately leads to fatal death. Central and State Government have initiated various schemes and facilities for health and hygiene, we should aware people to look forward to avail such schemes and medical facilities. We only just need to have proper documentations to avail it. Not to take our health problems as lightly, for its consequences would be drastic. People must be educated guided and a campaign awareness regarding health issues should taught to the people. Central Government as well as State Government and many NGO’s runs free medical camps across India for eradication of many diseases.
But the news is sad to hear that most of the people don’t even consult a doctor for their minor or major injuries it shows their pessimistic attitude and laziness and illiteracy. However not to be forgotten the famous proverb as ‘Prevention is better than cure’. If we suffer from certain ailment of minor or major then we have to consult a doctor for it. If the ailment is major then have to look for a specialist for getting a proper treatment of it. However it is seen that at the teen age especially which is the age of storm and stress where young people act as if they don’t care for anything and everything would be alright soon is a clear sign of negliance. We rely more on local prescriptions or try to bear the pain to avoid frequent visiting from the doctors. But this time being escape would be good for you but would have a great impact as you grow up. We may feel its consequences in later life. A proper care, guidance and treatment at proper time would have prevented us from such happenings of any disastrous things. Remember our whole body and its structure be it internal or external organs are all beautiful gifts of Almighty God and we don’t have any right to spoil it but we ought to take care of it at any cost to its fullest level. The real justice would be to protect it from any harm as we protect ourselves from seasons and changing climatic conditions as life is precious gift of God. Government should take more steps to prevent precious lives of these people, also to keep in and out watch as all the health and medical related schemes are implemented from the day it was launched from the desk of health department. A poet rightly said that...
“Zindagi ke bhi kuch andaz hote hai
Jagati aakho me bhi kuch khawb hote hai
Zaruri nhi ke gum me hi aasu nikale
Muskurati aakho me bhi sailab hote hai

Shoot Animals By Lens And Not By Guns By Liyakat Shah

                   

                  Shoot Animals By Lens And Not By Guns

Animals are our precious gift of God they add beauty to our nature and are also interdependent on nature. There are wild and domestic animals in the universe but very sad to say that these wild animals are killed for no reason or just for fun. So these poor humble animals have to suffer for the cause of human amusement. Even though Indian Government had made stringent laws for people who dare to kill any wild animals without any specific reasons. But this law lacks on grounds of implementations. So the procedure lacks in terms of preventing wild lives. The killings of tigers and other animals are of serious concern as there are very few tigers left either in jungle or sanctuaries. Wild animals can live and survive naturally in natural surroundings and conditions that is in jungles, but unfortunately trees are being felled down and this is the reason of deforestation. People have sprung towards forest areas to find settlement for human civilization. There are many wild animals that are being killed daily in many parts of India and if such killings continuous, then a day would come when we have to live without wildlife which is not possible for us as all species are interdependent on each other. Animals be it domestic or wild all are the creations of God. So care must be taken by us. Religion says to love and care animals. God has created wild animals which live in specific areas known as forest.

Similarly there are some animals used for domestication purpose to be use as transportation and as food of humans. The responsibility of carrying and feeding falls on his master who keeps the animals. We ought to take care of animals by providing them with nourishing food and also proper shelter for dwelling place followed by clean and safe drinking water from time to time. If they fall ill or do not perform their function nicely than we should show concern by visiting a specialist veterinary doctor for that ailment, Similarly if any female animal is pregnant then care is to be taken for her as we take care of our family member, not to load too much without the reach of animal nor beat them for not performing any domestication work, not to get angry on animals. Animals are also living beings but they do not have voice to speak like us. But they also have a pleasure of pain and happiness like humans. They can express their feelings of joy and happiness by performing certain tricks of amusement by playing in mud or water. They may run or jump or make typical sound in their joyous moods. We should not beat them with wipe or any sticks or materials. Now a day we find people using wires chains to control the poor animals. This is not good on the contrary treat them with love and affection and care. At sad times we may even find animals crying or making typical sound and tears rolling can also be visible in their eyes.

Hence do love our animals for God would love us.

A Message To Youth By Liyakat Shah

                      A Message To Youth

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful                   

First of all billions and millions of thanks to Almighty God who created us as human beings When we speak of youth then an image comes to our mind that, it is an age of storm and stress. An age where one begins to feel that we are rather highly qualified and experienced person whereby we begin sometimes to over act using those things at many occasion, Sometimes our actions are dominated in such a way that we try to attract the attentions of others for no reason. Remember life is precious gift of God for which the person has to live only once and all his or her work be it good or bad is being recorded and one has to answer about our deeds. So our work should be for the well being for others. Win hearts of people by sweet words and not by any abusive, torture or insulting words. You may be remembered by the people by your good acts and generosity. Good actions, good behavior, moral values are sometimes inborn or inculcated by our parents or teachers and must be implanted at every step to keep its basic values alive. Today maximum youth of world are addicted with bad habits of eating, chewing and drinking of many intoxication elements in the form of tobacco, smoking, drinking, smack, drugs and many more harmful things that destroys not only their homes but also body. However it is not to be forgotten that our whole body be it internal or external is a precious gift from God and we do not have any right what so ever to harm spoil or destroy the Creation of God who has made all our spare parts working and living things.

          Today is the world of fashion and every day new innovative methods are shown in the market to attract the younger generation. But very said to speak that when God made a person as male or a female then why one intends to change his or her appearance. Today we find that boys are imitating the appearance of girls and vice versa are the case with girls imitating boys. We should wear proper clothes to cover and hide our body parts and not meant for exposure to others. The dressing up of attire should be suitable to us and should not become a talk for the people. Dress up in such a way that looks sober and which gives comfort and relax to our body. 

          Another big problem with our younger generation is that they lack in values of social, spiritual, moral they may have a very good and healthy relationship with their parents, relatives and friends but it’s not whole heatedly. They should love and respect and remember their parents every time. Its mother’s love care and affection that makes a child to stand in this complex world. Hence it is rightly said that “Heaven lies under the feet of Mother”. If mother is Heaven then Father is the gates of Heaven. The service of serving the parent’s at young or old age should be considered as boon because there are special benefits for such people from Almighty God. But the factual scene is exactly opposite they lack in spiritual values we often find them in a dilemma where they are in conflict, quarrel, distracted, frustrated and becomes angry for no reason with the parents. Their response for anything is spontaneous; they often take decisions in haste. They feel themselves elegant to take and give any judgments in life.      

              During the younger generations guys begin to think beyond their imagination and they want to know the logic for every reason. But this thinking should be for the good and betterment of the people and society. Today the most dangerous thing that our youth are attracted is the porn or sex. Being a human a person ought to arouse sexual desires by the fascination of much vulgarity around us and it’s a human Psychology in order to satisfy the lust we often cross the limits to relax our mind and body. Sex what so ever should never ever be done before marriage for God would punish us. We people think that no one knows about our private acts or actions of wrong doings but remember that it is Almighty God who has a very bright vision to see our every bit of actions as long as we are alive. We could not hide from Him. Our body parts would act as a witness for our every good or bad work. Marriage is the best of best solution to put an end to the problem of sexuality. Find a right and suitable pair and get married soon. Consult your seniors in matters of marriage or any other problems.

          Another problem with our youth is that they are not so religious minded. They often knock the doors of religious institutions just at difficult times. They waste their precious time in end number of other irrelevant things but they do not have any time for praying to Almighty God. Prayer to Almighty God is must it is Who created us. We should be thankful to Him all the time till we are alive. God loves seventy times more than our parents. His Blessings and Mercy is immense and uncountable. God is not hungry for our Prayers but He want to save us from the fire of hell. Just imagine our whole body parts how nicely they are well balanced and placed in our body they work and function so systematically. It is hear that we should realize God and be very much thankful to Him. Make your behavior pious. Be honest, polite and be well cultured person. Leave your marks of good works and deeds on the minds and hearts of the people. Serve the people and love humans to spell out the lessons of humanity.

          Keep your aims, motives and objectives high as above sky. Think not of gold and silver but think of diamonds, rubies and gems. Add wings to your aims dreams and desires be practical in life. Think beyond the horizon. Face the situations problems or challenges in life give hundred percent to whatever opportunity one gets in his or her life. No work should be considered as degradable. Every work be it big or small has its own charms followed by the way of working. Be honest at our work. Do not make or go in for fake promise. Say no to bribery, satisfy your needs within your expenditure. This would give you a sound sleep at night and you would feel very happy the next day. Prepare and plan yourself in advance to avoid any delay in your work.  Love poor and needy people give them helping hands if we can’t give them any food or money at least try to guide help or inspire them with your precious words of courage for them. Think the cause and problem of others as our own self. Love all living beings do not play sentimental puppets with the people not to cheat, steal, or hoard anything.

          Be liberal with your modes of transport avoid rash driving of any vehicle. Turn your media into silent mode. Make use of internet in your mobile computer laptops for learning and gaining something new knowledge each day. Listen to religious and devotional songs speeches read religious scriptures by using search engines to give you unique information about true God and religion. Try to reach at the depth of true religion. Beg for Blessings and Mercy of God.

May Almighty God give us proper intelligent to think and become a good human being to love, respect, help, guide people as well as our nation

May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala Have Mercy & Blessings upon Me & whole Ummah forgive all our minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus.

International Women's Day By Liyakat Shah

International Women’s Day

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Every year on 8th of March International Women’s is celebrated all around the world. History of Women’s days celebration goes back to the emergence of Labour Movement that started in North America and Europe. The Charter of the United Nations signed an agreement in 1945 to have gender equality between men and women, it was then that the United Nations had strived hard for the upliftment of legacy of women’s around the world. 

Now coming back to India about the conditions of Indian women. It was since ancient times that our society was male dominated, women were given the secondary place. The conditions of the women became more deteriorated as the time went on. The society was filled with all old traditions, rituals and believes. Credit goes to our social reformers who worked day and night hard enough to put an end to the evil practice of Child marriages, Sati, polygamy, female infanticide, dowry etc. Many Indian leaders work tirelessly to raise the status of the women one such leader was Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar who stood for the plight of women in India, especially the women from weaker sections of the society which was discriminated on the basis of castesim. He worked hard throughout his life for the cause and sufferings of these women. His principles and theories were based upon equality for all irrespective of caste. When he was a Chairman of Constitution drafting committee as well as a Law Minister of India he highlighted various issues and problems related with the Indian women. He even discussed about women’s issues in the Legislative Council. Now even after 70 years of India’s independence still we find that women are living in fear and bondage and they do not feel completely free from evil eyes and evil practice customs of society. Even today daily we come across many cases of defame, dignity to the status of women in the form of rapes, naked walk, torture, abuse, beatings,  discrimination, dowry, cheat and fraud, death etc and so on. Still today we find that due to illiteracy and ignorance some people think birth of female child as a curse and something that has happened against their wish, they feel comfortable with a male child who would be a source of earning and at the end would benefit them at the old age and if a girl child is born then its a loss of money till she gets married or may be after the marriage. Such type of people are calculative in terms of profit and loss at the time of the pregnancy. On the contrary its false thinking and women’s have proved wrong to all such misconceptions today, we find that none of the sector is left behind whereby we find women’s are far more superior then men. A man is the guardian of home but a woman is the guardian of home, society and nation. Every human being be it a Prime Minister, President or who so ever millionaire or a beggar is a born and brought up child by a mother who is a woman. It has been since old times that women has undergone many hardships. A mother for whom all her children are equal who nurtures and takes care of all of them, but that same mother faces discrimination in the society. The basic lessons of equality is taught by her but in return she notices and gets inequality. The ideology of thinking should be changed it is then we can think of  up liftment of the status of the women in India. Religion also plays an important role in improving and uplifting the status of women take for an instance in Islam which treats women and men as equals in the eyes of Almighty God same duties of worship, faith, prayers, fasting, charity, pilgrimage. Islam prohibits female infanticide, dowry and any sought of crimes. The male has to pay the bridal amount to the female rather then taking any money from female or her in-laws. The women would be getting inheritance of property share from husband’s side as well as from father’s side by some calculation. So economically the daughter or woman gets double benefit in her inheritance of property. On the other side if there are any minor or major issues which creates rift in their relationship then first preference is to be given to solve among husband and wife if not then need to indulge relatives and family members to solve the crises. If not then at the final stage for separation then by mutual understanding and consent of both the families the relationship comes to an end, thereby both are free to start a new life to get married to anyone of their choice to start once again a happy and prosperous life.
