Pakistan: Stay silent or die


In 1966, nearly 180 million people in the US received Miranda rights – the right to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination.

Half a century later, a religious community in Pakistan, another country of nearly 180 million people, is facing a rather caustic version of the Miranda rights. They don’t have the right, but a duty, to remain silent.

The religious group is the Ahmadiyya community.

Two recent events frame the issue aptly. First, on January 29, 2012, clerics organized an anti-Ahmadiyya rally in Rawalpindi, attended by 5,000 madrassah students, chanting threatening anti-Ahmadiyya slogans and demanding to take over a 17-year-old Ahmadiyya ‘place of worship’. Then on February 11, 2012, approximately 100 lawyers, from the Lahore Bar Association, rallied to ban Shezan drinks on court premises. Read More

[Video] Allah grants humans many bounties

Allah grants humans many bounties. These bounties consist of our environment, our own health and abilities and our relatives. But the Holy Quran tells us that man is in loss because he abuses these bounties. Some of this misuse by man can be seen all round us in pollution, for example or over-eating or using our abilities to harm humanity rather do good. Our parents are one of Allah’s bounties and we neglect and ignore them as well, especially when they are old. The Holy Quran speaks of the great deceiver who detracts us from our duty. People say that the great deceiver is the devil. This is true but the devil is our love for things of this world which makes us ignore Allah. It is excessive love of one relative over another, for example ignoring parents to please the wife. Once we are close to meeting our maker it is too late to then make amends so it is best not to fall into the great deceiver’s trap.

The Quran and the NYPD


When Afghan workers at the Bagram Air Base saw our troops put copies of the Holy Quran and other Islamic religious works into a pile of burning trash in a dumpster, they didn’t hesitate. They yelled for them to stop. They ran and “reached into the fire,” according to a Times report, and pulled the burning books out.

When General John Allen, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, heard what had happened, he didn’t hesitate either. He apologized, completely and unreservedly, to President Karzai, his government, “and most importantly, to the noble people of Afghanistan.” He said that it had been a mistake. (“I assure you … I promise you … this was NOT intentional in any way.”) He said that there would be an investigation and that it wouldn’t happen again. He added, “I would like to thank the local Afghan people who helped us identify the error, and who worked with us to immediately take corrective action.” That is, the ones who stuck their hands in the fire.

[Video] Whitney Houston is our Role Model

The Holy Quran says that the Holy Prophet (s) was sent as an “Examplar” for us. This shows that all of us try and find someone after whom we may shape our character.

We try and emulate footballers, pop and movie stars. But what does this teach us to emulate? Nothing but to hanker after the trappings of pomp and wealth in this world.

Emulating the Holy Prophet (s) would teach us to sacrifice our lives for the sake of Allah and his creatures as did the Prophet (s) and his companions.

I visited Qadian recently and the staff of the Qadian proudly showed me their renovations. It is sad to say that rather than renovate they have destroyed the historic buildings in Qadian. The original building had bare brick which has been plastered over, as raising the mosque obscured the Minara tul Massih from view a “new” marble minaret has been constructed, the cemetery has had original foot-paths replaced by paved ones and of course arches build to glorify the false khilafat.

Allah has caused the destruction of Qadian at the hands of the Qadianis themselves to show that their belief that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a prophet is false.

The Qadiani jamaat claim to be a well oiled machine. Here is an example to show this is more propaganda than reality. Perhaps a little more oil is needed!

[Podcast] Love for The Holy Prophet

Muslims in some countries make a great show of their affection for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) by celebrating his birthday with great pomp and ceremony. It seems contradictory to the life style of the Holy Prophet (s) which was simple and free of all show.

Surely, the right thing to do would be to emulate his life style if we want to celebrate his birth. Celebration of the Holy Prophet’s birthday was started by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad but he wanted Muslims to set aside a day to look at objections against Islam and to study and learn answers to these objections.

We also look at what the Holy Quran says in Chapter 25 Verses 7 and 8.

The juice that is against Islam


It seems that narrow minded lawyers in Pakistan are trying to stop people from drinking a juice drink from manufacturer Shezan because it is said that the company is owned by a Qadiani.

Recently, The Express Tribune reported on a decision taken by the Lahore Bar Association. These lawyers, some of whom vocally supported convicted murderer and all-round crazy person Mumtaz Qadri (also a lawyers’ favourite in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, where garland of roses were placed around his ‘blessed’ neck and offers were placed for his ‘holy’ MP5 submachine gun), decided that Shezan a major food and beverage brand should be banned from all court premises because it is owned by every Pakistani bigot’s favourite punching bag, Ahmadis. This was followed up by a vow to “also…ban other products at a later stage”.

Perhaps they should get rid of the atom bomb because it was based on a Jew’s theory that e=mc2 and Christians invented the device based on this theory!

The Express Tribune Blog has a further list of things these wonderful men of law should also be banning if they are to truly save Islam and Pakistan; Read More
