Adnan`s Crazy Blogging World

Being a Muslim we all know that Islam is a way of life, a religion closed to nature. It means that Allah(SWT) has made it in such a way that it does not hurt your daily routines yet you can follow it in such an easy way that no other religion can even think of it. If you’re following a religion which is giving you rewards equivalent of Hajj when you look towards your parents with smile and gives rewards when you remove obstacles from road then one can imagine how beneficial it would be if you make attempts to in most or all part of your life routine.

Islam is not a Sunday or Saturday religions like Christianity or Judaism where you just go to respective place of prayers and offer prayers, it’s more than that, have more ease and practical approach. This is why it’s not suffice that we offer prayers 5 times a day. Islam is more like earning Bonus Points, more you put efforts, more bonus points you’ll get thus more higher level at Jannah. Just like any other field, Islam has given sets of rules to do trading. Trading is a prayer in which you can even invite or participate non-Muslims as well. Surprised? Well, when you do trading, you do trading with non-Muslims as well. If you do trading as per Allah’s orders then there’re most of the chances that you’re influence can turn his heart plus you’re already going to have more profits in your business as well.

Another traitor in town.

Meet Nadeem-ul-Haq, the head of planning commission in Pakistan. He is very funny and beats Umar Sharif when he says funny thing. In a latest revelation by The News,Pakistan, he says that Pakistan can only progress if nuclear program is abandoned.

FTA:

“You people have no interest in what I have to argue. You people don’t want development in this country. You people want to continue by taking the nuclear programme in your laps.”

“Mashallah, keep on sitting with this nuclear programme and simply forget about the development of the country. You people don’t need any progress.”

I have few questions:

1- There was no Atomic program before Bhutto or say even in mid 50s, why was no speedy growth in Pakistan?

2- Why countries like China and India where poverty also prevail, keep progressing despite of having nuclear arsenals?

3- Can Nadeem proves that corruption by his bosses and N-program CAN go together?

4- Can Nadeem guarantees that if India attacks on Pakistan then he will save PAkistan from his Butt?

Offcourse he does not have an answer, that’s why he got irritated when The News guy challenged his logic:

“It is so, it is so, he repeated, and all you journalists want it like that, and even Imran Khan spoke the same today. What is all this? Why does nobody want development?”

Can you smell irritation? he has no friggin solid reasons that’s why he’s being sissy here.

Ignoring and hiding the corruption and inefficiency by PPP government, sharing national secrets in the name of Memo Gate, it would be stupidity to think this government can do any better for Pakistan. Nadeem is not the first and last who opposes N-program in Pakistan. Fundo Kalay Angraiz aka Liberals who like pre-partition molvies opposes Pakistan creation and wants confederation with India always want to abandon N-program in Pakistan. So be it Nadeem or Hoodbhoy as long as they are attached with Pakistan, you should always believe in what’s said:

Huway tum dost jis K Dushman uska Asmaan kion Ho

As far as development is concerned, Mr.Nadeem, the king of development progress has shown by Zardari regime, yes we DEFINITELY DON’T NEED such kind of development. You are not NADEEM of Pakistan. You are rather opposite of it.

p.s: I wonder why so many pro-PPP Nadeems hardly make any sense. Was this Nadeem not enough for the exhibition of ignorance?

An interesting program went on Air from Express News in which a Shia Aalim got excited so much that he called Apostate and Damned(Laanti) to anyone who curses companions of Muhammad(saw) like Omar(RA),Abu Bakr(RA) and Usman(RA). The program is in Urdu so you MUST know this language to take full advantage of it.

And as we know that Shias keep grudges against Companions like Amir Mowaiya(RA),Omar(RA),Usman(RA),Abu Bakar(RA) and many others.

And I second that Shia Aalim that anyone who curses Sahabis are Laanti, here and here after.

I really want to write in details but right now I am just making post with hope to let people know who actually know him.

I am saddended to tell that Molana Zahidulllah of Jamia Masjid Taimuria, Hyderi passed away last night. Inna Lillahye Waina Alahye Rajion.

He laid into rest at Sakhi Hasan cemetery after Zohar. Quran Khuwani would be held tomorrow, Oct,31,2011 after Zohar prayers. If you know him, pray for his Maghfirat. Hundreds of people attended his funeral prayers today at Taimuria Masjid. He had been leading prayers for the last 36 years.

Remember him in prayers.

I have been attending Fehm-e-Qurbani course in Alfalah Masjid North Nazimabad. As we hear that men are asked NOT to trim hair and nail in 1st 10 days, a person like me who was not so aware about it at all considered it something obligatory that I had to take lot of care because I am a nail biter :d. Anyways let me clear some confusion about it, that how its promotion have made people feel that it is larger than performing Fard.

- First of all, the Hadith in which Prophet(saw) asked to avoid hair and nail trimming is only for those who are participating in Qurbani. If you are not participating then you are not eligible.

- This order is neither Fard nor Sunnah or Wajib. It’s a Mustahab that is It is likable but if someone does not do or can’t do then he or she is not committing a sin at all. So if you don’t do or even if you started and if you violated it by biting your nails, trimming your hair then it’s not going to effect your qurbani at all. There are other things which CAN nullify your sacrifice.

So, instead of just focusing Mustahabs or avoiding Fard and Sunnah can only be an act of self-fooling rather a good deed. Ignoring Salah and other Fard and Sunnah is definitely going to make your case difficult infront of Allah(SWT). Even if you are performing Mustahab then there are many of other Mustahabs as well, do focus on them as well.

Fehm-e-Qurbani, A 3 day program discussing every issue related to Qurbani; From Going Mandi to slaughtering the animal A/c to Sunnah. The program will be conducted by Mufti Munir Sb at Jamia Masjid Alfalah Block-H North Nazimabad on coming Fri,Sat and Sunday after Isha InshAllah. Separate arrangements and timings for Mastoorat. Do make efforts to attend this and tell others because a slightest mistake could nullify the entire Sunnah

A sensation but not new revelation by CSM that how US state department funding Pakistani journalists to inject pro-American sentiments. It is not surprising that they are using so called FREE MEDIA of Pakistan.

One of them is ex Karachi Metroblog Blogger and then Jang/Express reporter Huma Imtiaz who now resides in Washington DC.

From Christian Science Monitor:

The amount currently allocated for the project is some $2 million over two years from the public diplomacy funds allocated by the State Department, according to State Department officials in Washington familiar with the project. That includes salaries for the two correspondents – Huma Imtiaz of Express News and Awais Saleem of Dunya News and a bureau for both TV channels.

While it is not surprising when the wicked role of Pakistani NGOs is not hidden. The thing which is quite ironic that how these wannabe liberals always whined that Talibans are funded by Saudia’s Wahabi Regime, they themselves are being funded by “American Wahabis” one way or other to promote their agenda. Watch the following video which pertains to same issue. Only God knows what kind of plans these guys are making to destabilize Pakistan.

Ramadan Kareem to all of you. if you are fasting this year then you must be thankful of Allah that He gave you another year to ask His forgiveness and undo bad habits.

Like you prepare yourself for next exam,interview call or any other thing, you should prepare yourself for Ramadan as well. Here are few things which I wish to do in current Ramadan.

1-Talk less Dikhr more

I don’t consider myself talkative but I often talk things which are not going to make any positive change in my or others lives. So while you are at home or at workplace, try not to get engaged in useless conversation with your peers or family people. Instead, try to do Dikhr which would be more beneficial for you. Saying Tasbeeh of “SubhanAllah-e-Wab-e-Hamd-e-Hi SubhanAllah-e-Azeem” or First Kalima or “Ya Hay-o-Ya Qayum” could be best since they are short and you can continue your usual work

2- Reduce your online activities

Like many I am also engaged in online social activities like Twitter etc. on such tools you would also read(hear) backbiting and cursing of politicians etc. Reading and promoting them by forwarding to others is not only wasting your time but you are being part of gheebah (backbiting) in the holy month of Ramadan. I know you are a home grown political analyst but trust me it’s not going to help you at judgement day. So try to save yourself first before you preach,whine or complain about others.

3- Memorize Quranic Surah

There are many like me who have not memorized much quranic verses which they could read during Salah. Ramadan is the best occasion of learning more Surah other than four QULs. You can start from smallest and can extend it unto long verses. Apart from short verses I am planning to memorize one long verse like Surah Mulk or Surah Yaseen.

4- Memorize Surah with Translation

UNless you don’t know what you are reading, you will not find the proper understanding of it. Again, you can start memorizing translation of short verses and then can extend it upto long verses

5-Control your temper

Last but not least, if you are a short tempered like me or get irritated easily, use the occasion of Ramadan to control it as much as you can. One of the best way to do it is to follow #1 that is, talk less, it will automatically reduce the changes of getting angry. If you have other bad habit as well like lying a lot or abusing then please try to reduce it. Tell your peers or family members that you are trying to control your anger and ask their support. Tell them what irritates you a lot or what makes you pissed. It would help to let them know about things which they should avoid.

What is your list? Do share with me

Many of you would have read this horrible news that how a guy killed 80+ kids just for sake of nothing in Norway. While initially everyone would have wished to relate it with Alqaeda or some any other Muslim association. Later it turned out the guy was a right wing Christian extremist. Obviously that was a shock for those who had prepared every thing to open up a new can of worms against Islam and Muslims.

I was just thinking the entire scene if it would have done by some Muslim. We would have read headlines like:

Alqaeda killed 85 kids in Norway.
A Jehadist killed many innocent in Norway
A fanatic reciting Quran opened fired on Children

and what nott but ironically none of the main stream media used the term “Christian” while reporting. This hypocrisy and wickedness of West is not new and its futile to talk about it. Thing is, should we , Muslims use the same mantra to expose extremism by Christians? Before we get into this, let’s talk why do they make such propaganda? For that we will have to give in past.

Allah sent Abraham(AS) as a Prophet to spread His message and eliminate evil. Abaraham’s wife Sarah(AS) was very pious and God fearing. She did not have any son. She had a son named Ishaq(Issac) (A.S). Sarah(AS)’s Maid, named Hajar got married with Abaraham(AS) and Allah already blessed a son named Ismail(AS). Ishaq’as family later gave Prophets like Yaqoob(AS)[Jacob],Isa,Jesus(AS). Both laid foundation of Judaism and Christianity and Judaism. Ismail’s family later produced a Prophet(SAW) named Muhammad(SAW). Both Christians and Jews were prophesied about next Prophet. They both had believed or I say preferred to believe that next Prophet would be from their tribe while this was never the case. Thus, the birth Of Muhammad(saw) and later advent of Islam created differences. All 3 religions believe that there would be a mega war before the Doom’s Day according to all of them, they would win. Ironically Jews and CHristians know that next Prophet was not from their tribe yet they insisted and wickedly tried to portray that Muhammad(saw) was a false Prophet. Since the day Islam became the victim and both Christians and Jews tried their best to wipe out Islam from the face of earth.

As per God’s plan, Islam was spreading. Russians was already defeated and only AMericans were left to rule the world. In mid 90s Talibans emerged in Afghanistan and they established an Islamic Emirate. This create quite a stir among right wing Jews and Christians because Islam negate every thing which was the hallmark of other two religions followers. Islam negated Capitalism and laid the foundation of social society and Islam established good governance in which rich was not rich and poor was not poor. This thing was not acceptable by others who were in favor of Capitalism. Later after 9/11 incident, world heard a new terms like “Islamists”,”Jihadists”,”Islamic Fundamentalists” etc. All of a sudden news bombard us with such terms. Later such terms were also adapted by brain-washed,ill-fated ignorant Liberals aka “Kalay Angraiz” who had to reject Islam and kissing up West by every mean for their survival in Western countries. What actually imagined by right wingers of Jews and Chiristians, things happened in entire opposite order. Islam is spreading more in US and more people are converting to Islam. America who invaded both Iraq and Afghanistan are in brink of debt. Soldiers are dying. People are being sent back from their jobs and what not. In reality they had planned all this for us, Muslims but as Allah says Himself in Quran:

And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers.(3:54)

Things went against them and today they are debating whether soldiers should be pull out or not or how to save jobs how to save US as a country!

Naturally, the fear of defeat makes one to do things which create more fear. Propagating false against a religion so much that no one could know truth about other religion and THEIR OWN RELIGIONS as well that how both Christianity and Judaism belief have been fooling to people from centuries. So naturally they have to get freaked out. They have to create more false perceptions against Islam, either by media or by using lunatic liberals. We as Muslims don’t need to create panic or getting worried at all because what Muslims had to do, these non-Muslims have already been doing that is, spreading Islam. Allah really needs a MUSLIM to spread His word. If he wants, he can even use non-Mulims for that and we all have been witnessing that.

Therefore, we Muslims should not use terms like Christian terrorist or mocking Christianity because this is not our task. We don’t even need it either. We are already approaching on winning track so be calm and cool.

This morning I a got chance to go my old Mohallah to visit the cart(Thella) of Jafar Bhai for having spicy Gol Gappay,Aloo Plate and Mix Plate. Anyone who lives in Nazimabad No.1 or have spent many years in 1-G,1-H and related blocks of Nazimabad No.1 or near Jalalabad,Nazimabad knows Jafar Bhai quite well. I remember the days when we guys used to run to his thella early morning. Specially in vacations I always visited him first before buying house-hold stuff. I always liked the spicy Aloo Plate which used to be of Rs.5 till the time I was in Nazimabad and a piece of spicy Potato in stick which cost 50 paisas.

Anyway, today the weather was quite lovely, cloudy and cool breeze. Wife and kid are at their Grandma house so after De-Cockroachifieng my room by spraying lots of Mortein I headed towards my old neighborhood. I planned to go by Bus. I often go by bus so that I don’t quit the habit of public transport. The weather was good and less crowded bus did not make my journey unpleasant. As usual when I reached in my area, old memories took over me and I started thinking about everything I did,felt,heard or seen in the early 25 years of my life. While I was having stuff,it reminded me how simple life I had just 20 years ago. How less we used to demand or consume at that time. I remember we did not have PTCL phone till 1991 and we used to go on ground floor to our Phoppo home to receive the call of mamoo who lives in Muscat. Other than that we never felt life incomplete without phone. Then in 1991 we got our phone line after 6 years of submitting demand note. We were thrilled. Ammi was happy as she did not have to go down all the time from 2nd floor to ground floor to receive Mamoo calls.

I remember how we guys used to gather outside of home for hours. There was not computer at that time so all we guys could stay long hours out; playing cricket,hockey etc or having chat and laughing out loud. People at that time did not use to come out only in loadsheding period. Infact loadsheding was quite a unique thing even in 90s. Since almost everyone was living their for decades so every house was like a family for us. In vacations we used to play cricket after Fajar till 8:00 AM and then breakfast. TV channels in those days were not used to run 24/7 transmission hence ladies always used to utilize their morning hours in cooking food,cleaning home and other constructive stuff. PTV used to start from 4:00 PM and later NTM also did not run 24/7 transmissions either. People had enough time to think about themselves, enjoying weather and every thing. We were a bit closed to nature than today. While thinking about all these things and missing old days, I asked myself, what went wrong and who is responsible for all that? The answer I found: our useless attempts to make our lives easier by using technology which in return made our lives cluttered and miserable.

Just remember the days when you had no mobile and you were used to go office or school. At that time your wife or mom were not so worried and tense while sending you to work place or schools despite of they did not have any channel to get in touch with you all the time. Recall the days when you were not used to get BREAKING NEWS all the time despite we faced severe days in 90s when an Operation got started by the government. Remember the days when there was a curfew and you were going for board exams. At that time your were more concerned to appear in exam than texting your mom that you are safe. At that time your mom was more busy in cooking next spicy dish for you than calling here and there.

Remember the days when you used to go one weekend to your Khala, other weekend to Chacha and week days to some distant relatives. At that time ladies did not get angry or frown just because you step in at the time their favorite cooking show is on-air in some pathetic private channel. It makes me to ask a question: Were not our ladies used to make yummilicious dishes at that time when there was no Internet or channel to teach them about recipes? Was there no life without electric blender, chopper or.. SHAAN MASALA? Were we not used to enjoy every bite of seasonal dishes made by our moms,sisters or wives? Why at that time we used to enjoy more food than now despite of we have luxuries?

The answer of all questions is: You made your life cluttered. You wanted to make it easier but in result you made it miserable. You wanted to get in touch with thousands by using Facebook or Twitter but in reality you became more socially loner than past. In past you only used to keep a few money in your pocket and used to buy things within the limit but now you have credit cards which gives you liberty to buy more than you actually deserve. In past you either had a car or not a car thus you either preferred a public transport like Bus or Rickshaw. Now you can have loan from Bank so even if you earn a lesser amount, you would have a brand new car. In past you did not burn nights and days to achieve every thing because there was quite a less competition in every walk of life. Now you want to have everything around thus in result everything; relationship,love, smiles of your grown up child, the cool breeze and sun rise early morning because you slept late and missed Fajar. You want to be informed about every thing without realizing that you have not been assumed to know everything.

So can a life be uncluttered? Can we live without TV,mobile,Internet and all that? Well before my own personal experience, I was not sure about it but in 2008 I went for a 3-day trip with Tableeghi party. It was my first ever trip. We went 50 miles ahead of Gadaap area in a village which was in a deserted area. We were 11 people in the group and had stayed in a masjid(98% of them were electrical,electronics,mechanical and computer engineers). In those 3 days I was not in contact with outside world. There was no mobile coverage therefore mobile could be used as a paper weight. There was no TV,Internet to get updates about the latest tech posts. I am not used to sleep on floor but in those 3 nights I got best sleep of my life. There were no fancy and standardized dishes like Biryani,Qorma etc and 3 days I had boiled rice with potato,Daal which was not so well cooked yet it was so tasty that I still miss the taste. There was no typical toilet there for me and I had to go in a topless room and our toilet was a couple of bricks and our flush was sand. I was not worried, tense or anything about family in the absence of communication network. I was quite content and nothing made me anxious and all. Despite of religion factor which matters most, there is something else which I experienced; all of a sudden my life became uncluttered. I could live without things which I assumed were part of my life.

So, does it mean uncluttered life makes you feel comfortable? Well, I am not an expert but all I can say that uncluttered life does make you work hard hence you feel good. Uncluttered life stops you to have information which is not necessary for you. Having a unconventional washroom with a lota with limited water did serve the purpose though I faced difficulty, strived more(adjusting myself how to sit on bricks). Absence of 24/7 channels which constantly feeding you about what’s happening in the world kept you sane and it did not ruin your life either. Physically visiting your friends and relatives instead of messaging via Mobile,Facebook or via calls make you feel much better because you tried to oppose your comfort zone. Comfort zones are not good for humans. They have been assembled to do struggles. Technology rather pushed us in comfort zone thus made our lives miserable.

So next time when you decide to pick mobile while going office, using mobile or Facebook to get in touch with friends or watching TV about next breaking news or new recipe from a channel or SHAAN MASALA, just think once, is it going to make you feel easier? If the answer is yes then just quit it. Just drop it and pick the harder choice . The moment you do it, you already have started making your life uncluttered.
