Chaos in Iran & Hijab Issue - Nov16,'22

 

Chaos in Iran & Hijab Issue - Nov. 16, 2022

 

There is chaos in Iran since few weeks. Very briefly, we need to first understand that whether Hijab for women is practiced or not but it is something which Allah Himself has addressed explicitly in Holy Qur'an in the following words:

 

“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed (or molested). And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Surah al-Ahzab 33:59] 

 

And whether we support the government in Iran or not but it is a fact that the enemies of Islam and Muslim world want to install a puppet regime in Iran making the country act as their colony which would beckon to their call. Hence, they have been fueling the passions of activists to protest against Iranian government ever since. In Egypt, they even crushed a democratically elected government a few years back just because it was Islamic though they claim to advocate democracy for all countries in the world.

 

We should hope that the Iranian government will be successful in countering the conspiracies without resorting to aggression. The whole picture is not clear to us and we know mostly what the electronic and social media is showing to us. But it does not seem right how activists have been lined up to protest against Iranian government over 'one single act'!

 

May Almighty Allah guide all of us and show us the truth - Aameen!

End Times Diary - Points to Ponder - Nov15,'22

 

END TIMES DIARY - POINTS TO PONDER - 15th November, 2022:

I have been researching on End times in Islam (Islamic Eschatology) since 2005 from different sources. Most of the Modern Muslims may have difficulty in grasping this kind of knowledge because they deem it outdated or old-fashioned or simply some kind of fantasy.

It seems Dajjal is a Jinn that's why he is present on Earth since almost the time of Prophet Adam (pbuh) or some generations after him. But he has been confined in chains ever since. In hadith it is written that every Prophet (pbuh) has warned his nation about Dajjal.

So he is a Jinn (Allah knows best) but will appear in human form before the world. That is called دجال کا خروج (Kharooj of Dajjal) in Islamic terminology. He is a production of Satan (Devil) and will be very powerful with magical tricks. This is the last Encounter on Earth and Allah will raise Imam Mahdi (ra) to fight his forces but eventually he will be killed only with descent or Second-Coming of Prophet Isa or Jesus (pbuh) towards the end of reign of Imam Mahdi (ra). A Naqshbandi Scholar has described Dajjal as a 'Shape-shifting Demon'. The time of End times events to roll could be very close (Allah Knows Best). Signs have been shown to people close to Allah! There are glad tidings for believers in End times as well as warnings for all. Main thing for Muslims is to concentrate on those steps or measures which will protect us from Dajjal. Following: - Five times Salah, basic worship acts, abstinence from Riba, being careful about Haqooq-ul-ibaad matters, love for our dear Prophet (pbuh) etc.

- Reciting Surah Al-Kahf every جمعہ (After Maghrib Thursday till Maghrib Friday)

- Memorizing first 10 verses of Surah Al-Kahf

- Memorizing dua of protection against Dajjal which should be recited in Tashshud position in every Salah after Durood Shareef and before "Rabbij-Alni - - - "

We should listen more to conventional senior scholars of Islam like Sheikh Imran Hosein, Professor Ahmad Rafique Akhtar etc. Dr. Israr also. Truth is scattered and no one scholar can claim to know EVERYTHING. And not everything that a scholar is saying is necessarily truth but scholars with good intentions are nevertheless trying their best hence we should not undermine their efforts! And remember, Pakistan is one of the secrets of Allah and we should not unnecessarily speak against Pakistan Armed Forces though some of Pak Army Generals like Musharraff have been very unfavourable for Pakistan and Muslim world. Musharraff also advocated close ties of Pakistan with Izrael just three years back. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah vehemently condemned the possibility of forming any ties of Pakistan with Izrael openly so that is a clear message for us about any doubts on Musharraff!

The topic of Dajjal (Anti-Christ) has been narrated in Ahadith (sayings of our dear Prophet pbuh) but not all of those are not 100% authentic. Only Holy Qur'ah has reached us 100% correct after 1400 years. There could be contradictions between different Ahadith on same topic in even Sahih books of hadith. However, the topic of Islamic Eschatology which presents information on Dajjal cannot be denied as mentioned in Hadith because that is discussed in many varied sources of Hadith books, not just one! JazaakAllah Khair!

Allama Iqbal's Birth Anniversary - 9th Nov., 1877

 

ALLAMA IQBAL'S BIRTH ANNIVERSARY - 9th November, 1877

On November 9, 1877, famous Muslim thinker, philosopher, and Urdu and Farsi poet Allama Muhammad Iqbal was born in Sialkot, Punjab, British India (in present-day Pakistan).

In this photo, Iqbal can be seen at the Great Mosque of Córdoba (Masjid e Qurtuba) during his visit to Spain in 1932/33 CE.

The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic Church in 1236 CE. However, Iqbal was fortunate that he was allowed to offer his prayers in the mosque (as you can see in the photo).

After paying his visit to the Great Mosque, Iqbal wrote a poem called Masjid e Qurtuba that was later published in his collection Baal e Jibril (The Wing of Gabriel) in 1936 CE. A couplet from that poem is as follow:

اے حرم قرطبہ عشق سے تیرا وجود

عشق سراپا دوام جس میں نہیں رفت و بود

Ae Haram-E-Qurtuba! Ishq Se Tera Wujood

Ishq Sarapa Dawam, Jis Mein Nahin Raft-o-Bood

English translation:

To Love, you owe your being, O, Harem of Cordoba,

To Love, that is eternal; Never waning, never fading.

Punjab Under Smog Again - No Advance Planning - Nov07,'22

 

WHY IS PUNJAB UNDER SMOG AGAIN? - WHEN WILL WE ADOPT LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS? - Nov. 07, 2022

Once again, the plains of Pakistan are under a thick layer of smog, and yet again we are to face the consequences. Although smog is a regular phenomenon that paralyses life in Punjab every year, we will start afresh every time with the government proposing new solutions and formulating a brand-new strategy for smog control because we have yet to adopt a long-term policy direction.

Last year, various short-term actions and meetings targeted snapshot interventions and as the situation normalised, due to the rains, we forgot all about the menace. This reactive mode of handling things has never worked and results in us constantly failing to tackle the problem with long-term, scientific solutions as is done in most advanced countries.
