Review of 2022 at new year’s eve

 For you it might be the beginning of new year, for me it used to be the same but now its 8 Jamadi-us-Sani 1444 AH. Doesn’t matter, if you are happy at the tick of the clock to midnight into new year then Happy New Gregorian Year. I did celebrate many new year nights in western style including one at Trafalgar Square London and now I wonder why?

Didn’t have any plans to write but nonstop fireworks in Twin Cities for over 25 minutes now have forced me to review this activity and the year we left behind. In retrospect, if we realise losses versus gains, the losses weigh out gains so heavily that we wouldn’t even think of celebrating let alone this wasteful activity of burning phosphorus and TNT adding to air and noise pollution and disturbing people (elderly) in the middle of their sleep. What is there to celebrate? Have we achieved anything except international certification of corruption and beggary. You know how you treat a roadside professional beggar. This is how nations are treating us. And we have the guts to burn so much of money in fireworks!!! 

2022 was by far the best year on personal account because I finally have been able to diagnose Pakistan’s problem. Those on my hit list whom I thought were the real villains including politicians, clergy, judges, institutions etc have slipped down many places. It turns out, it is my love, my institution army which is the root cause of every problem we face today. Practically, a heartbreak. In past, it would blow my fuse when a set of politicians and people would talk against Army. I would take on people from MQM, Noon League, Asma Jehangir, Ayesha Siddiqa, Pishtin etc. They would always whinge about Army not letting the institutions grow and as counter argument we would always be fed that all of them were anti Pakistan serving foreign agendas. Ahan, so what’s the solution? Just need one leader who who has some integrity and this nation will rise. And Imran Khan, we were told was The One. He was allowed limited access to power and kept under check all the way. Ousted and replaced by the most corrupt (as was drilled into our heads in past three decades). By the way this by no means is a pro-PTI blog, please read it as it comes to you without any preconceived assumptions or framing. 

After regime change, we were expected to upgrade by automatic software update but operating system of many Pakistanis (including veterans) didn’t automatically pick up the latest version. It wouldn’t sync with the our system. The misadventure of April 2022 regime change has unmasked the true ugly face of army leadership in this country. I wish it didn’t happen like this. I wish I didn’t have to write all this.

The more you research from mid fifties till this day, it has always been US who maintained control over Pakistan through senior army leadership. We can’t blame US for it. Being world superpower, she would like to maintain hold/ stranglehold on most of the world. Problem starts when their wish becomes our desire. They implement their designs through senior military leadership in Pakistan. 

First understand the difference between senior military leadership and the military. And if you understand that you will feel as hopeful as I am after this analysis. I’m not connected with any ‘silent soldiers’, so I’ll give you some hypothetical stats. As we know army hierarchical system is pyramid like structure. Army might be one million in numbers but senior leadership consists of 25-30 men from league of extraordinary men who are not only untouchable but enjoy unequivocal power in this country. This first tier is so loaded with power and money that can easily blind anyone specially hailing from an insecure and bhooki nation as we are. Top man with four stars has around 25 three stars including 9 Corps Commanders (sadly condescending words are being used for corps commanders starting with letter “C” like corrupt, crime etc). Next is 125 odd Major Generals who don’t matter except how close they are to next two tiers. Next around 500 Brigadiers who don’t matter at all except their connectivity among top three echelons. Below these (one million minus approx 650 men up to brigadier rank) are totally expendable items. In first two decades of service, only those are corrupted who have tendency towards corruption (this equates to proportion of corruption in society and how many us are not corrupt?) and other half who get to see the real face of upper tiers due to nature of their employment. However, remaining are the real lions. They are the best of men on God’s earth. They don’t fear death. They work like mad. They can achieve the un-achievable. And that is where the hope lies. If at all one honest man gets through this filter of top men unnoticed by Americans, fate of this nation will change Insha Allah.

I’m not obsessed with US. In fact, I used to make fun of some people in my circles who would find traces of US conspiracy in everything but 2022 has changed it all. US runs the puppet show in this country through its embassy and consulates. If someone could ever know details of meetings between ‘notable’ military & political men with US officials. Recall, wiki leaks when even Molans made an attempt to be given a chance of Premiership in Pakistan. Look at the fortress of US in Diplomatic Enclave, Islamabad. Do we have any fort or university as large as US embassy in our capital? Are those thousands and thousands of staffers here in Pakistan in love of biryani or charsi tikka? 

They need to keep check on China and in doing so Pakistan. For that they need stooges in Pakistan just like they did with USSR using Afghan Muhahideen through Pakistan Army. Now they need Pak Army again to operate in their favour against its national interest. Whenever, I ask ‘the most learned men in Pakistan’ (obviously military) why being US centric? Has it benefited us in past seven decades? What we achieved by this slavery? Their answers would vary from sanctions to F-16 parts to strangest possible explanations, most interesting being ‘you don’t know’. I don’t know anything but I do know where we stand in terms of progress in any walk of life. Get out of US shackles slowly and surely. And please stop deceiving and confusing Chinese, identify your right friends and make a move in the right direction. 

For next year and years to come, there is only one prayer that we get freedom from Americans and their representatives in Pakistan. Ameen 

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 95

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Let's immerse in mysterious Al Kahf for individual and collective benefit. 

Today's Ayah No 95 is continuation of conversation between Zulqarnain and the nation he came across in his third journey. In previous Ayah 94, the nation complained about mischief of Gog Mgog (یاجوج ماجوج) in their land and offered Zulqarnain to pay  if he could build a barrier to stop them. 

In reply, Zulqarnain showed   contentment over what his Lord had ordained him to do. Note that Gog Mgog not even lived on their land rather they would descend from above through possibly a portal which needed to be closed down. So he asked them to assist him with full strength to build that barrier. 

Interestingly, in this Ayah word ردما has been used which has been translated as 'Dam' in most translations. In any case, they needed protection against onslaught of Gog Mgog and a dam would serve as a barrier to prevent descending and ascension to their land. It should give us enough teason to believe that Gog Mgog do not put up in our land as well. They are most likely to come down from above through portals. During extreme duress, for the protection of Ahle Emaan against dajjal and Gog Mgog, recitation of Al Kahf at the right place & at the right time may open up portals to safety, reassuring that Al Kahf contains secret keys to protection near the end of times.

Only Allah knows the whole Truth.

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 94

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Al Kahf has escatalogical answers for any curious mind. End of times is around the corner and Gog Mgog (یاجوج ماجوج) is one of the familiar creatures to be unleashed during that time. In fact, today's Ayah No 94 is the only time Quran refers to Gog Mgog. Everything else about this creation has reached us through Ahadith, confirming that they exist. 

Correct answers to two questions can help us understand about them. Firstly, what time in history Zulqarnain reached the land of this creature under attack by Gog Mgog? Secondly, where exactly are they?

Whenever Zulqarnain existed in past it was prerecorded time in history i.e. thousands of years ago. Please do not discard possibility of Zulqarnain being able to time travel back and forth due to his intergalactic travels. So we assume that he existed few thousand years ago then where are Gog Mgog if they existed on our earth? Since Allah swt mentioned it and Ahadith confirmed their descending on earth near end of times, how Gog Mgog survived all this time? How is it that despite so much of human progress, we are unable to locate them on earth? Most logical answer would be that they might not exist of this earth. They might descend down from above on their appointed time.

In the end of the same Ayah, those people offer Zulqarnain expense of creating a barrier (سدا) between them and Gog Mgog. If you recall in previous Ayah, the same word (سدا) is translated as mountains because the meaning barrier didn't fit in to suit our imagination. But to put their (Gog Mgog & the nation under attack) existence to context, the best possible translation of this word is barrier. They needed to create a barrier in front of the portal between them and Gog Mgog to prevent this onslaught. Likewise, the same type of portal barrier prevents Gog Mgog to unleash on our earth as well.

Unless we look at this with a different angle, Al Kahf and other Quranic references to ET would always sound like crude Sci-fi stuff which it is not.

Blessed Week 

 

Will Liberty Chowk Jalsa today change anything?

 Country is heading towards default like sinking titanic. Background music is being played, elite in their fancy dresses are perched on the deck having fancy food and no one seems to care. Indifference at this point in time is criminal. But it seems nothing wrong has happened or is happening. Look at these psychos, the retard father PM and his looter son Salman creating optics in these times by hugging and congratulating each other as if they have successfully Kashmir or avenged APS genocide. 

Hope that today’s PTI Jalsa at Liberty Chowk finishes well before the WC Final begins because there will be a result in Argentina v France game in 90 or 120 mins or another 10 mins if we go to penalty shoot out but in 8 months IK has been ineffective because he has not taken one bold decision. Please stop these shaky arguments of by-elections win, it didn’t change anything except confirming to those thugs not to go in elections anytime soon. IK is popular, he will win next elections but at this point, this argument is useless unless we go to elections and country survives default. Calling off Long March Dharna before it’s culmination at D Chowk in May 2022. Failed to aggressively pursue foreign funding or Tosha Khana case when every other party has foreign funding or might not be able to give trail of their funding, likewise every head of state drew stuff from Tosha Khana, why only PTI/ IK are being cornered? It is obvious they want a technical knock out of party and its leader. So take all these charged crowds and encircle these BoRs (Bitches of Riches). What is IK waiting for? We have technically defaulted already just the official announcement and acknowledgment of the Govt is awaited. Is IK waiting for the people to take charge if their destiny, take to streets themselves and surround Govt offices all by themselves and then The Saviour Khan enters the scene to rescue the country, Govt and people out of that likely chaos. Really don’t understand his inaction against Govt-establishment shenanigans because he makes such lofty claims as if we are watching third release of Maula Jutt but where action is needed, decision to make a move is always missing. May be this is also a new territory for him like being Chief Executive in PM office and dealing with establishment and it’s very special crook head, corrupt, manipulator and greedy Bajwa. Why didn’t he take stand then and why is he a cry baby now? Should have taken on establishment once and for all by educating and mobilising people. Did Ardogan not do it against much stronger Army and establishment of Turkey who were American slaves like our army leadership. IK lacks strong political decision making. He is a coward, the way he kept trembling under Bajwa and didn’t speak out. Entire nation looks towards him, everyday those Vloggers change the fate of this nation with their sensational headlines but nothing seems to move not a shred.  So the on job training of ex PM continues because his novice highness can’t keep pace with political dynamics of the country where every turn in this country’s journey is critical and every day is historic new day with new challenges. And please insafians stop selling this usual Chooran that he has no assets abroad, he could make loads of money by signing a bat, he took bullets etc. Wake up. Cult following is harmful. He is but callable human. He has assets abroad, his sons. He can buy property with legit money, no one stops him. He should make Halal money by signing anything but selling Tosha Khana stuff was below the standards he sets for himself. Likewise, assassination attempt was horrendous but he should have taken due safety precautions when there were clear forewarnings.  

Him not learning from mistakes is another serious grey area. His allies, electables and insiders were all establishment puppies and moles like MQM, JKT, Wowda etc who actually pulled the rug from under his feet when he least expected or needed them the most and then again he goes on to make Pervaiz Elahi Punjab’s CM. We shall see same outcome very soon. That rascal has come to Pindi twice in last week ‘to meet the most powerful people’ in the country. Now if he is meeting them by himself (quite unlikely) they should shun him away. But if they are calling him over, then they are the real enemies of this country those who claim be the custodians of its geographic boundaries and ideology are drilling holes in this ship since 1958. For clarity initial 11 years, successive civilian governments/ PMs did the same but at least they had legal right to do so but army never had the legal, constitutional or moral locus standi to do that. Anyway, Army must back off if they are calling Pervez Elahi over. But it doesn’t look like to be the case rather this is a way of sending clear signals that we matter in political equation. If they didn’t want to be ‘seen’ in this matter they could have sent encrypted messages or could have communicated ‘quietly’ as well. So the jinx has not gone away. 

Bottomline. Mr IK, the nation has woken up, please wake up. Passive political measures haven’t changed anything in past 8 months rather 64 years of establishment’s direct/ indirect rule and it won’t change anything in next century. Take them on. Haqqeeqi Azadi is the most powerful slogan. It will come after Haqeeqi Change in IK’s approach to the whole matter. Otherwise, today’s Jalsa will be usual PTI routines of Senator Faisal Javed’s crowd warming howling, National and PTI songs and IK’s Noori Nath dialogues and whining against Bajwa and that’s it. 

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 93

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to take benefit of this blessed day and special Surah. A polite reminder to recite/ understand whole or part of magnificent Al Kahf.

Today's Ayah No 93 is about third journey of Zulqarnain in last and final story of Al Kahf. Remember Jews of Medina tipped off Meccan idolators to ask Aqa Alaihe Salato Wassalam about Zulqarnain if He (PBUH) was the Messenger of God. In eschatology Jews, their curiosity about Zulqarnain, text of Al Kahf & Gog Mgog (mentioned in next Ayah No 94) have important roles and we shall be able to connect the dots in due course. 

Returning of our Ayah of the day which gives us clues of life on other planets and universes. Keeping the translation very simple, Zulqarnain took the portal to some other galaxy until he reached between two barriers. Although السدین here is translated as mountains but in Ayah No 8 of Surah Yasin the same word is translated as a barrier, we shall go by the same meaning (barrier) here as well. Beyond, two barriers, Zulqarnain found a nation who wouldn't understand his language but he understood their's. In his last two travels, there was no such issue and communication was two ways. How Zulqarnain knew languages of every nation he came across? There were no means to learn other languages. He must be a very special servant of Allah bestowed upon with special knowledge. 

Secondly, the barriers mentioned in this Ayah deserve a mention. Why two barriers? Could these not be  electromagnetic barriers at the start & end of a portal?  Subsequent Ayahs may help us unfold new vistas of mysterious Al Kahf/ Zulqarnain stories.

Blessed Week.

 

Is Nobel Peace Prize apolitical?

This year Ukraine, Russia, Belarus rights campaigners won Nobel Prize an "Apolitical" award or is it?. Baisically, they are anti Russia activists, they come in limelight because west doesn’t like Putin who doesn’t like stand up comedian jew planted as Ukrainian PM next door. At Nobel Peace Prize ceremony held at Oslo City Hall, this year’s winners from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine shared their visions and denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine on Sat, 10 Dec, 2022. "Apolotical".

Above news is screaming at the top of its voice that desi Kala goras (liberal extremists) who think award of Nobel Prize to Malala was "apolitical", they live in a fool’s paradise. Malala’s case was as "apolitical" as Bajwa’s. You just have to sing to the tunes of the west in disregard and disrespect of your own cultural values, national interest and religious ideology and you already are a strong candidate to become Nobel Laureate. The loudest anti-non-west is heard the farthest, quite an 'apolitical' recipe. Things are not ideal in non-western part of the world. But they won’t get any better if one of their own starts negating everything about them including good ones. Such social traitors are well received, highly paid and given microphones on ‘illustrious’ forums. 

The only defence cum argument of Liberal Extremists (as bad as religious extremists) is that conservatives can’t take it, they are insecure or jealous of women emancipation, is total BS. Its time that west stops forcing its way of life on others by spotting vulnerable imbeciles (who believe they are rebels/ reformers) in target non-western societies.

West, at the moment, is the leading and rich civilisation and to keep their hold on the non-western world, they need deep ingress into those societies. Malala and family are the ideal opportunists who readily offer their services on political, social and ideological plains. Such operations are blatantly being carried out through NGOs among less fortunate regions like Africa, SE Asia or upcoming societies like Chinese. 

Hypocrisy that world doesn’t understand or doesn’t want to understand is that those Norwegian (Literature) and Swedish (Scientists) academics are not paying each winner 100,000 USD in the name of humanity but to buy their loyalties, enslave them through regulations, keep them on their radar and control/ restrict their works to their benefit only. Quite "apolitical".

Unfortunate, that daughter of the soil (Malala) received gunshots but real misery began when she ended up in wrong hands. But since she and her father happily "upgraded" their lives by moving to UK like rest of those ‘finance driven’ migrations from our part of the world, it was pretty much a Hobson’s Choice for them. West needed an implant and they needed an upgrade. So an average IQ girl from Swat KPK, gets circumstantial exposure and becomes a global figure. Hence, with due exposure, this girl grooms herself into a well rounded, 'socially acceptable' young woman in west. Good for her. 

Nothing wrong with her meteoric rise to fame after receiving gunshots but liberal extremists blinded by prejudice against native social orthodoxy, never tire of eulogies about this girl with total disregard to their own lineage. 

Concluding by three pointer. 

1. Nobel Peace Prize is anything but apolitical. Its political to hilt. 

2. Malala got the right opportunity through unfortunate turn of events which is good for her and her family and those who invested in her.

3. The most confused lot in this country at par with religious extremists are liberal extremists who ruled this country all these years (Both from Army & Civil) and never tire of whining against country, society and religion.  

Qatar and football is the winner

  Kudos to Qatar. They stood their ground. They didn’t budge to global social bullies who want to force their way of life on every other civilisation on earth. Qataris rightfully failed to comply with western values (rowdy drunken brawls after football games, nudity and unnatural sex drive (LGBTQ)). Funny enough that some of our Kala Goras are already getting edgy on hearing that boozing and LGBTQ 'One Love' are sins. No matter how much these black liberal extremists exert, it won’t change their skin colour and they would always like that outcast ugly duckling among them. What westerners and Kala Gora sb think to be values are nothing but garbage.

Is this not superior human value to respect the values of other cultures. People who are your hosts, show some respect to their way of life. See how warmly they embraced you. They are distributing their traditional drinks and dates out in the streets. Serving free meals, some have even accommodated people at their places. It’s time that west stops it’s two faced hypocrisy on every standard of life. For once a Muslim country pulled a real great show and made few billion dollars in the process, so if you can’t hail it, at least put up with it. Put pain of not making billions of dollars behind and for once live up to those fancy quotes like, "Football unites the world". 

Yes, things are not ideal in Qatar. They might have paid off some FIFA officials to win the bid but did that happen for the first time. Did countries not lobby like mad to win this prestigious bid? On the other hand, did they not build state-of-the-art stadiums. Was the distance not the least between the grounds as  compared to all previous WCs? Were the arrangements not immaculate, was the organisation not tip-top and execution not up to the mark?

Other ludicrous criticism was on treatment of migrants in Qatar. Migrant labourers are paid less in Qatar. But for those migrants, even low wages are life changing. Btw hundreds and thousands illegal migrants are working on low wages and living below human dignity in Europe and US. Coal mining industry of Europe was worst than this. Human slavery was the worst in US. US & Europe together are top in crime and racial discrimination. So please stop lecturing the rest of the world and focus on football. However, despite western media's deliberate propaganda (particularly obdurate British), what an amazing football fair we saw in Qatar in past four weeks. I have grown up watching football world cup (even followed lowly EPL) but never have seen such good quality of football. Upset after upset. No group match was one sided boring game between minos and giants. Giant slaying has been the common feature. Asian and African teams have made a statement this WC. Writing this piece right after first quarter final- Croatia vs Brazil game. Superior tactical play by Croatia kept brilliance of Brazil a-bay. Then lightening strike by Neymar in extra time which Croatia annulled through a quick break. And penalties decided the fate of the game in favour of Croatia. High drama. Even neutrals (not that hypocritical 'neutral' of Pakistan) were on the edge of their seats. I started the game as Brazil supporter and ended up supporting Croatia for their superior tactics, grit and guile. 

Despite "draconian" measures by Qatari Govt like alcohol ban in ground (less hooliganism), separate queues for women (less harassment), less inviting attire by women - a wonderful wonderful wonderful football World Cup. 

Ignorant drunkards and global social bullies may continue to lick their wounds because Qatari (Muslim) values prevailed. No matter what happens in next quarter final between Argentina vs Netherlands or who lifts the cup, Football is already a the winner. 

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 92

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. There has never been a better time to connect with Al Kahf because as we get closer to the end of times, we need more and more protection against the onslaught of our enemy and his aides. Let's be clear, Devil is our declared enemy, dajjal is going to be his viceroy and those who like to create mischief on earth are devil's associates. So it is not just one entity (Lucifer) operating against us but an elaborate network and collaboration of djinn and mischievous humans. How much care and protection is required? How badly they distract us? If we knew then they were not doing their job properly. So day in day out we are being tricked unknowingly. However, Allah swt is so Karim that He taught us different ways and means of protection starting from 

اعوذ باللہ من الشیطان الرجیم

to Al Kahf and so much more.

Coming over to today's Ayah No 92 which is the same as Ayah 89 and much the same as Ayah 85 except first word of Ayah. Same word (سببا) has been used in Ayah 84 but for fear of getting it wrong, certain meaning has been forced upon us. Look for example, Ayah 61 when a fried fish took its 'way' into the sea. Here, the word  سبیلہ has been used. Again debatable but what about a fried fish taking its way into the sea? Is this a normal happening? Could this not be flare smoke on a particular time to open the portal through which Khizar AS had to appear on the given rendezvous? Likewise, for as old as the story of Zulqarnain is, how much time would be required to reach East, West and North of the earth? Probably, a lifetime. So, should we assume that Zulqarnain spent his life in three journeys? Then why The Second Caliph Al Rashid Umar Razi Allah Unho told one of his companions when he named his son Zulqarnain why this name, did he run out human names? Close your eyes and think about what he said. He was one of the closest companions of Aqa Alaihe Salato Wassalam and knowledge  imparted to those special people by their Special Guide (PBUH) couldn't be falsehood. It is just that those (may Allah reward them for their services) explained the Book to us couldn't relate with the wisdom of the knowledge shard by Aqa Alaihe Salato Wassalam and modern scientific reach of astrology, quantum physics, astronomy (astrophysics,  astrobiology etc), explanets and cosmology.

May Allah help us understand The Book which contains knowledge of everything. Ameen

An analysis of IK’s decision making

Had serious differences with IK’s hurried parachute entry into PM House through electables - establishment’s stooges and political pooh of past. This was a major compromise on the value system he stood for and it came to haunt him big time. Since then, it was downhill including poor team selection from within those electables to Bajwa bickering and eventual ousting. 

For the first time, I was seriously disappointed when IK called off March/ Dharna in May 2022. For the sake of repetition, I was there with my kids. Was interviewed by Essa Naqvi (Vlogger) and got phone calls from ‘known numbers’ because they knew me and I knew them in fact trained them back in the day. 

Now again calling off March in November 2022 without achieving anything again raises questions on his thought process & decision making. He is now made to run from pillars to post to face courts. Has no authority in Punjab as CM stands firm with his masters. Except image building IK has achieved nothing substantial in past nine months’ struggle. PTI’s voluntary absence from Parliament has enabled PDM govt to promulgate vital constitutional amendments. Not only political decision making is flawed, his ownership of his own people has been found wanting. Despite inhuman treatment of PTI workers and leadership, he didn’t come on roads, didn’t surround those thanas, safe houses or called a strike or something.

I know this will infuriate passionate insafians but IK’s indifference to his own comrades like Shahbaz Gill and Swati is cruel. They took the brunt for country, for the people and party leadership but IK threw them under the bus and has been seen bus-spotting dispassionately. Swati is still undergoing immense duress as if earlier mental, physical psychological trauma wasn’t enough. However, IK remains emotionless spectator on brutal atrocities against his close aides. His stoic demeanour on such events might also have to do with his harsh childhood memories. This doesn’t mean some personal attack in political enmity but having had a long discussion with his childhood friend and cousin, his erratic decision making started to make sense. Take nothing away from his integrity, charisma and grit. But relentless pursuit of ‘goals’ & cold emotionless approach always has to do with deep emotional scars of early life. Anyway, this was just an attempt to understand and analyse IK’s unique determination and occasional sketchy decision making on personal and professional life in total disregard of emotional attachment. I’m personally convinced that the amount of damage that has been done to the governance & institutions of this country in patronage of mafias (particularly army leadership) only a nut-head like him could take on the ‘system’ and bring-about positive change if any. 

May we see that change in our lifetime and pass the baton to next generation with dignity. Ameen

Way forward for Army - Quit power addiction

Some of my brothers in arms retd & serving ask what next? Really hard to predict that military shall become apolitical anytime soon. Because power is more addictive than narcotics known to be highly addictive drugs. Since there are no rehabilitation centers to treat power addiction, it is obvious that military's addiction will take time to go away.  

In given scenario, with trauma of most intelligent peoples' atrocities is still quite fresh in our minds,  we could still, in love of country and the Army, proffer positive input to have played our roles responsibly. Even if we need to evolve a way to curb the addiction or literally have to feed on concept, explain every step of the process & guide till the end, we may. 

But none of it will be sugar coated, concocted or implied in language because we need to wake up and smell the coffee. Note this with great concern and alarm that to squander growth rate from nearly 6% to minus in less than nine months would take an expensive war defeat. We had been to war against own people. People tortured, left deep scars in the minds of coming generations,  economy ravaged and country devastated demands gloves off and real shake off.

First thing military men need to understand that most have become shortsighted, material & power hungry, in short, perilously close to dumbness. False sense of superiority must not mislead us anymore. Just focus on your own job. Intelligence agencies to stop making lives of their own people (including military men) miserable. Unearth enemy plans. Prevent Terrorism from execution.  Stay in barracks. Stop claiming being apolitical, this is so pathetic. What do you have to do with politics? Just become apolitical. The list can go on but when it is reported by the press that the Saudi and UAE ambassadors were the first to meet new COAS Gen Asim Munir, it wanes away the hope of any  change. Affliction of power addiction is upon us. It is worth noting that both UAE and Saudi Arabia have been insteumental in supporting American plans to develop India, especially on Kashmir, by furthering Modi's plans through investments in Kashmir. They have also been pivotal in helping America to absorb Israel in the region and the wider Muslim world. Pakistan’s blind eye to this is based on its beggar status, as the purse strings are used to buy the loyalty of Pakistan’s military and political leadership. Our beggar status has been further enhanced by evil nexus of a dumb general and dumber politicians.  Technically if it is apolitical, the COAS has no reason to meet ambassadors as this is the realm of diplomacy and politics. It merely consolidates the open secret that the idea that military going to suddenly become apolitical is nonsense.  

Take a start frrom some where. Quit power addiction. COAS must not meet ambassadors. Big Fat Period.

May Allah Protect Pakistan. Ameen

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 91

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Every word in Quran is a blessing because it is an open letter of The King  of Heavens, earth and beyond to His beloved creature, however, the time is just right t connect with Al Kahf. In times to come, Al Kahf would be the only protective shield against trickery of Dajjal. Imagine Dajjal has appeared in the Middle East followed up by Al Mehdi and Al Masih. Rest of the world, to avoid falling prey to the fitn of Dajjal would require protection of Al Kahf. For that unless one understands the Surah, its purpose, its language and its likely impact may not make better sense. Here is a hint, read first ten Ayahs of Al Kahf carefully. It reflects Allah swt's anger over misconception of taking Essa AS (Jesus Christ) as son of God. And Dajjal (The Master deceiver) will appear as his (Essa AS') look-alike. This should explain emphasis in Ahadith to recite, memorise and understand first ten Ayahs of Al Kahf.

Today's Ayah No 91 is the closing line of Zulqarnain's second journey to a nation which had dwellings  without walls, consequently no protection against the sun. Since, the place of rising of sun is mentioned in previous (Ayah 90), hence it had been assumed that this nation lived in the east of the world. However, as we know that the sun doesn't rise in the east rather the earth completes its 24 cycle and its particular part comes in front of the sun. If we are (now) aware of it, is He swt not? (نعوذ بااللہ). For sure, The Creator of Heavens & earth knowz. We might have to reconsider our interpretations. For example, if that nation in question was putting up on earth, could they not take refuge in caves or dense forests? Is it not possible, Quran refers to some extraterrestrial land devoid of vegetarian and mountain caves. 

Like Zulqarnain's first journey to a nation near black hole, Allah Karim gave him full authority to decide about their fate. Note that this discretion was due to the special knowledge and trust bestowed upon Zulqarnain. 

Blessed Week.

Corruption - our National sport

It is revealing how the tax records leaks have been met with virtual silence by the media and journalists. Our criminal silence on this issue reflects how corrupt are we in reality! How corruption has become an accepted norm! Finance Minister Dar has guided the focus onto illegality of the leak and buried the content. Imran Khan has also remained mute on the issue and not uttered a word or comment. Basically, he is appeasing Army. But like his past ‘compromises’ on principles like electables etc, this will come back to haunt him in future. You can’t change a system drenched in corruption by staying inside it. After decades of looting and mismanagement by politicians and the military leadership, Pakistan is on the verge of economic collapse. The military has been complicit in the decades of corruption and looting by the PPP and PML. And under this dark regime which ends today have been allowed to cancel their theft through the controlled judges, courts and NROs. The military has made a laughing stock of itself by claiming to be apolitical when it is clearly known that Pakistan is a Pretorian State where the military holds absolute power and that too by the leash of the Americans who have no care for the people of any nation and instead rely on remote imperialism through agents in other countries. They encourage them to amass enormous wealth and protect this status quo through maintaining power and control. The Egyptian military is a case in point and Pakistan is no exception. Hence, it is quite evident by events of this year that both the political and military leaderships rely on each other to maintain the corrupt status quo. It is ironic that generals who command the greatest military on earth, that of the US have no comparable wealth or lifestyle to that of Pakistan’s military leadership. IK’s unwillingness to take on the military’s corruption is indicative of his hollow power. He had the opportunity whilst in office to seize the initiative when Pappa John corruption became manifest. He had the perfect opportunity to break the back of corruption but instead protected Pappa John and now stands mute on Haji Sb’s staggering corruption statistics. Existence of corruption amongst every class (political, judicial, executive & military) and its patronage is an open secret. The military as the de facto power in Pakistan has the ability to either transform the country into the great state that it has the potential to be or continue to be dragged by America’s leash to be released only to protect her interests and to whom the ‘corrupt class’ submits for riches. All empires were built through such allegiances and Pakistan is no different. This is all the whilst the nation is reduced to a beggar nation who keeps on insisting that the slaver (America)  has the best interests of the slave and acts in the slaves interest. For these are the views of a defeated and mentally colonised people who cannot think beyond the political circus created by the slavers media and who despite decade after decade of repeated abuse and failure maintain hope in the status quo. For Pakistan to free itself of this vicious cycle which threatens to extinguish her existence, it needs to break from American slavery and prevent sleep walking towards Indian slavery and who knows who else. 

Revival is possible. It can be done, but with Allah’s help by only those who fear Allah alone and through reliance on Him have the political will, acumen and strength to realise Pakistan’s potential to become not only a regional but a global power. Pakistan has the resources, geography, ideology, human potential and military strength to become a great power, but it requires men of courage, faith and vision and not slaves who cannot think and act beyond their plots and lifestyle. 

May Allah Protect Pakistan. Ameen

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 90

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with Al Kahf, The Surah of hope in times of deceit and despair. Please find time to recite/ understand whole or part of Al Kahf this blessed Friday.

Last week some examples of timetravel, inter-galactic and inter-dimentional movement through portals were shared. Likewise, Al Quran contains numerous incidents of metaphysical phenomenon. For example Uzair AS slept for 100 years & when he woke up his meal was warm but there was only skeleton of his donkey and the city around him had turned into ruins.  Al Kahf Boys while they slept for 300 years, were fed & nourished. Likewise, Khizar AS would appear wherever needed (In Musa & Khizar AS story he appeared on resurrected fried fish which could be triggering point for his portal to open). Likewise, Asif’s delivery of Queen Sheeba’s throne to Suleman AS’ Court in Blink of an eye. And the list goes on. In these incidents, normal laws of physics have been suspended to stamp the authority of The Creator of physics, quantum physics and metaphysics. All we need to do is to align with The Creator and His wisdom behind these phenomenon.

Today's Ayah No 90 is about second journey of Zulqarnain. As we know from last Ayah 89 that he took his 'way' through a portal and reached a place from where sun would rise. For earthlings, we have made belief that sun rises in the east, so location Zulqarnain reached has been interpreted as Eastern most  part of the globe. But it doesn't make complete sense that Allah swt might have used such terminology for our ease of understanding. Besides, our astrological concepts got straightened up quite recently as it was believed that the sun revolved around the earth which was flat and so on. Secondly, if that nation was putting up on this earth, how could it be that they built the walls but couldn't put rooftops on them? 

Unless we start seeing things in totality and stop confusing scientific progress with Quranic interpretations, we might continue to 🚶‍♀️ in circles. 

Surah Al - Ayah No 89

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubrak. Humbled to inform you that this Blog is being shared with you from Masjid Nabvi and I hope & pray that each one of you may get to reach here sooner than later. Ameen

Today's Ayah No 89 marks the beginning of Zulqarnain's next journey. Have a closer look at this word سببا which has been used in Ayah 84, 85 and current Ayah 89. Two different meanings have been given to the same word in these verses. In Ayah No 84, it has been translated as means of everything in this world. However, the very next Ayah 85 & current Ayah 89, translation of سببا has been changed from ‘means’ (اسباب in Urdu) to a 'way'. Agreed that there are nuances of the same word which apply to the given syntax and situation. However, if the meaning of سببا is used as ‘way’ in Ayah 84 as well then complete meaning changes i.e. Zulqarnain was given access to every portal in the universe(s). In order to develop better understanding of this Ayah, Surah and Al Quran, we should try to assume that Zulqarnain could travel through portals in universe(s). Past translators and mufasareen of Quran have done a wonderful job (May Allah swt reward them) but human knowledge particularly developments in science & technology should give us confidence explore venues that make  better sense to modern mind. At the same time, newer/ different Quranic interpretation is a daring & sensitive matter. However, since real knowledge &  progress & ultimate salvation lies in this Book, it is obligatory upon us to develop its better understanding.

Talking of intergalactic travel, today couldn’t have been a better opportunity to discuss this Ayah because I stand at Haram-e-Nabi and it is part of our faith the He SAW traveled from center of universe(s) to the top most tier (Arsh-e-Barin). Imagine for a second, how was it possible unless there was/ were special/ secure portal(s) for His travel.

Some other examples of intergalactic travel from Quran are descending of Adam & Eve AS, ascending of Idrees and Isa AS. 

May Allah show us the ‘way’. Ameen 

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 88

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubrak. It is special mercy of Allah swt that I share this Blog from Masjid-e-Haram, Mecca. All of you are in prayers  Any special prayer, please  personal message for that.

Today's Ayah No 88 marks the ending of Zulqarnain's first journey. He traveled through a portal to access a creature putting up near black hole. They had issues. Allah swt deputed Zulqarnain to decide upon the fate of this nation. And see how judiciously he (Zulqarnain) discharged his duty. In previous Ayah No 87, he made it clear that wrongdoers would be punished. In current Ayah No 88, he announces that those who believe and do good deeds should be rewarded. Both Ayahs talk about punishment and reward in both the worlds. One point that is repeated in Quran on several occasions that precondition to acceptance of good deeds is faith (Emaan) in Allah.

Note that the story of Zulqarnain is about establishing the writ of God on earth. This is not only  the last story of Al Kahf but also a prelude to the very last story of this world. If Zulqarnain could travel between galaxies, Isa AS (Jesus Christ) on his return shall have similar powers because the same Gog and Mgog (mentioned in this story ahead) shall come down from the skies. Likewise, in order to take on Dajjal (who can time travel as is evident from Hadith), Isa AS might need no less powers. And what would be the objective of Isa AS? You guessed it, to establish the writ of God on earth. See how Al Kahf and its stories coincide with events of eschatology and now understand & strengthen faith why Aqa AS emphasised so much on connecting with Al Kahf towards the end of times.

May Allah swt keep us strong on Islam and take us back on Emaan. Ameen

We are enslaved by narratives

 Lately, it dawned upon me that we are all aligned to one narrative or the other. Otherwise, our “business” will not flourish. Business could be trade, power or personal interest. So the only thing missing in our partisan approach is Pakistaniat. Ironically, everyone talks about Pakistan and well being of its people and that’s it, just lip service and cosmetics. 

Let’s take a look at the partners in this crime. 

Firstly, the Govt of PDM. I guess the name says it all and a school going kid can narrate its charge sheet. So no need to waste words on this segment. Their style of politics is part of our dark political history. Abusing establishment and coming to power sitting on their shoulders could be the last nail in their political coffin. 

Media deserves a mention here. Previously, there was one Sarkari channel and rest of them would keep people informed. Whereas, now all of them sound like the same. Like rest of the sacred cows in this country, media is also badly exposed. On the flip side, harassment, torture and even assassination of journalists is being done. By the way who is doing all this? Arshad Sharif was killed abroad but who lodged 26 FIRs against him at home and for what? Rana Sana Ullah doesn’t have the courage to do so then should we try to fix the blame outside on Indian RAW or Israeli Mossad? Come on sir, have some mercy on this country and stay the hell away from politics. Or let us know how badly are you compromised due to some personal video, religious ideology or hunger for more? What more? Lifetime ruler ship of Pakistan? All of them Big Guns of past are under tons of soil now. Take a break, go away.

Then is the turn of opposition which is not Raja Riaz by any means rather IK. Imran Khan’s charge sheet is equally long but his mesmerised supporters, intoxicated with his charisma don’t even want to hear about it.

All institutions including Army should stay away from politics and nothing of this sort shall ever happen again. Power of the office of COAS needs to be contained. His unbridled power is taxing on the country. Chief of premier spy agency butting into petty political press conference of public relation's three star, was the lowest point.

As per Dawn News, business confidence right now is the lowest in the history of the country whereas it was flourishing seven months ago. Companies are going bank corrupt now. Would you entrust someone like Shahbaz Sharif as Chief Executive of your company or Ishaq Dar as CFO? How could we make one Chief Executive and other Finance Minister of the country? Could you trust Rana Sana Ullah with security of your home let alone Pakistan? What have we achieved by this exercise? Do I need to repeat the stats on inflation? Do I need to mention scandalous cost of living and financial stress Safaid Posh are feeling? 

Pakistan is at serious loss and at the peril of repeating horrendous history of 1971 if we stop being partisan and start being Muslim Pakistanis who call spade a spade. Let’s be fair. We treated Bangalis as lesser Pakistanis and a point came when they couldn’t take it anymore. They earned the right to rule but were denied. Result is right in front of us. IK has many flaws but at the moment he is the most popular leader among masses and that factor needs to be taken in to consideration. I kept thinking why is he so popular? Answer was pretty simple, he is popular because he ain’t financially corrupt. His political acumen, haste to become PM by falling into trap of ‘electables’and not trusting young honest leadership because he was in hurry to perch on Premier seat eventually cost him. There is no secession planing, just personal glory. His inability to identify people like JKT, Aleem and Wowda etc (Pawns of establishment), not focusing on grass root level party organisation, not listening to sincere advice, occasional high handed attitude and honestly speaking, he takes the blame for this chaos today. Because he gave extension and the whole sage started. It was the worst decision ever. Look at the price we are paying today? A series of honest mistakes reflects inability to manage the matters.

Anyway purpose is not to prove everyone wrong. However, where we have reached today is not an ideal situation either. Every institution, political party and each one of us is responsible for it. It hurts when such abuse is hurled upon Army right now which my lion heart men don’t deserve. But unless we do some introspection, we are not likely to make any progress. 

In actual, this nation needs a political alternative to IK that outshines his selling points. It is obvious that people in this country long for financial integrity in political leadership so much that they have embraced IK with all his political fallibilities. 

One credit should be given to IK that he stripped holy cows naked. Secondly, what all story tellers failed to do is to tag him with our favourite national tags like Indian agent, Saudis ka pithoo, America ka Ghulam, corrupt, blasphemous etc. Not that they didn’t try any, it just didn’t work. 

Last word, please restrain. Everyone restrain. Those with political affiliation control emotions. Those with guns in hand, don’t pull the trigger. 

May Allah help us through these difficult times. Ameen

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 87

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with Al Kahf. As we go through fourth major story of Al Kahf, let's recap.

First story of Kahf Boys is about  coercive thwarting from Tauheed (Oneness of Allah) by the Roman officialdom.  We face this problem today more than ever from govts & society. Second story, 'Men of Two Gardens' is about material pursuits that cause us to forget God. We are living that story. Third story of Musa & Khizar AS is about knowledge or lack of it. We believe today that we have got knowledge more than ever before and in last Century we killed each other more than hitherto killings of entire recorded history. Last, story (our current story about Zulqarnain) is about establishing the writ of God on earth by eliminating the greatest evil of dajjal. 

Sequence of these stories is the sequence of eschatology with its finale in Armageddon. A fitting end of the story written by none other than The Master Story writer who taught imaginations of story tellers the art of story writing.

Today's Ayah No 87 is about authority rested in Zularnain to decide upon the fate of an extra terrestrial creature putting up closer to a black hole. Zulqarnain must have had a special place in Allah’s Court because it was left to him to decide upon the fate of this nation. Him being chosen one, made a very precise statement that only wrongdoers shall be taken to task in this world and the next.

Blessed Week

Arshad Sharif Shaheed

What a heartless hypocrite I am because I don't speak.

I'm a shameful coward, who worries about his old parents and young kids.

Did Arshad not have old mother and young kids?

Yes, he did. Every man dies, not every man really lives. That braveheart son of Pakistan was/is way too superior than the rest of us hypocrites.

What a heartless mob we are because we don't speak.

I love my institution so much that it hurts to see it falling  from the grace.

I can't breathe anymore, 

Not because of fear rather our utterly blatant silence and inaction at such horrendous acts. 

We are so accustomed to it that it's something we don't even speak against anymore unless it affects us in person, but this affects me at least I can't breathe anymore! 

If we are vessels for you to benefit from and dump at your disposal so be it, but we will speak of it, I will speak of it, you killed one but a 100 more Arshads will write about it, you violated few journalists many more will stand against you, you want to suppress voices I will speak, for my Balochis, for my Pashtons for my9 people because I can't breathe anymore.

And then when you can't do anything at all, you murder them with an utterly disgusting cover up, I am here and we will keep coming at you. You better have prepared loads of cover up stories, as I will speak now because when I don't I cant breathe. 

I pray Pakistan gets its real freedom. 

I pray for Allah's wrath upon those who forced exile upon Arshad. 

I pray his sipari ( سپاری) issuers and executioners rot in hell.

I pray his sacrifice pays off.

I pray he gets to live forever in the seven star heaven.

Ameen

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 86

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with amazing Al Kahf.

Today"s Ayah No 86 is 3rd Ayah of penultimate Rukuh (No 11). In this Rukuh, fourth major story of Al Kahf about Zulqarnain is told.  In current Ayah his first 'adventure' under divine instructions begins. Zulqarnain reached a point where the sun was setting. Now looking at the solar system and cosmic settings, the sun never sets. So what does this Ayah refer to? Since, translation is debatable, could this 'dark mud' be something else? May be a 'black hole'? Because black hole in the universe is only place where sun could set. But our imam  sahab wouldn't interpret it other than what has been told to him as progres in knowledge and science threatens his job.

Back to our Ayah of the day, Zulqarnain came across a nation. Could humans be found near black holes? Probably not. In which case, this 'nation' could be some extra terrestrial creatures !!!

And is it not unusual that Allah swt gave full authority to Zulqarnain to either punish them or let them go if he found goodness in them. This statement by must create few queries. What is the status of Zulqarnain? What kind of privilege is this that Allah swt had left it to Zulqarnain to decide the fate of a nation (creature)? We can only assume that those weren't normal circumstances. Not the usual story which our minds are used to perceive or imagine. Now the question is that are we ready to part ways with how we see things? Otherwise we won't make inroads into 'reality'. We might keep circling around traditional approach to Al Quran/ Al Kahf/ Zulqarnain until we continue to forcefully limit the unlimited scope and interpretations. This does not by stretch of imagination mean to disrespect or disregard the brilliant works of yesteryears rather to evolve.

Blessed weekend  

Wounded Pride

 Aitezaz Ahsan’s yesterday’s remarks set my thought train in motion. Why did he have to say this? He is from Zardari’s party. Zardari is already steering the bandwagon if not spearheading it. May be at the twilight of his sojourn, Aitezaz Ahsan for once is speaking for Pakistan. Why he accused The Sovereign? Why it has come to that? Now the spin doctors may tag him as Indian ploy or call me an anti state rogue element or eccentric youthia whereas I don’t belong to any party except Pakistan. But the reality is that there is something seriously wrong down there and there is so much polarisation on issues that people in terms of opinions are poles apart. Why in my late forties, I’m losing the plot? The story lines sold to me all my life by my institution ain’t working anymore. I hated the very existence of corrupt politicians which was sold to me and I bought it with total conviction. Why it doesn’t make sense to me anymore? Please stop kidding yourself. Mr X or Y may like to think whatever they want but Pakistan is above all of us.  Unfortunate happenings all around. Institution of Arms disreputed. Personnel disrespected. Shaheeds’ blood not honoured the way it should have been. System of governance disrupted. Faith in the entire system disappeared. Fallacious claims of producing leadership discredited. Just a resignation of a three star might have saved our wounded rather dying pride in our prestigious institution. Veterans who took immense pride in their institution were made to feel ‘us’ & ‘them’. It may take generations to regain lost trust of masses. No one could take out deep rooted love and respect of this institution from people’s hearts including our arch rival and enemy next door like recent events did. It never happened before like this. Weakness of system so badly exposed that entire system can be brought down by one man because there is serious imbalance of power. One man can sell off the country and no one can raise the voice. No questions asked. Seeing massive bail out of criminals, common people are forced to think that they are living in this country to face more and more suppression. Is there any answer to this ‘democratic fixing’ of problem wherein cost of life has gone so high that financial crunch is getting to people’s nerves. Forget about, political affiliations, orientations and inclinations and have a reality check. In past six months, has there been any sign of governance? Any thing concrete? Can someone gauge the economic loss? Can someone predict recovery from economic loss? Those who have been installed upon us are just making hay while the sun shines on their miserable selves. Except getting relief from the law by bending it, would they do anything else? How badly the country has been devastated by one man. 

IK continues to take the bait like 25/26 May, last week and so on. He continues to trust the most untrustworthy. The invisible and self proclaimed invincible cult which couldn’t protect our kids in APS Peshawar but continues to come up with sham stories of hackers, planted servants at Bani Gala & so on. Ironically, post APS Peshawar, all those sitting at important positions in that horrific tragedy got away with it. Some of them even got promoted. In fact, there is a group of untouchable men in this country who can get away with anything and everything. During my years in service, it used to amuse me how people went “out of the way” to “reach for the stars” and now it makes perfect sense why there were no limits, morals or values to hold them back. It was all about making it to that club of untouchables.  What a sad reality?

May Allah protect Pakistan. Ameen

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 85

Assalam o Alaikum.Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. A polite reminder to recite whole or part of Al Kahf on this blessed day.

Today's Ayah No 85 consists of short crisp words that "he (Zulqarnain) followed the way. Previous Ayah No 84 (shared below) stated, "We gave him to everything a way." Could this "way" be a portal? Could Zulqarnain be a time traveler? Following two Hadith are making a strong case for it.

1. Kâ`b al-Ahbâr (r.a.) had claimed that Zulqarnain tied his horse to a star, and he was warned by Muawiya for saying so. 

2. Ali ibn Abi Talib(r.a.) has stated that God the Almighty subjugated for Zulqarnain the clouds to carry him wherever he wished.

Likewise, could Gog Mgog (mentioned in Ayah No 94) be creatures from other planets? Are we flexible enough to part with the our traditional way of thinking and Quranic interpretations? Unless we do that how on earth could we prepare, equip and withstand Dajjal's onslaught, an enormous calamity about which every prophet of Allah had warned. Wait a second, was Dajjal not chained somewhere as per Hadith of Tameem-al-Dari? Hadith link is shared below:

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/82643/the-hadeeth-of-tameem-al-daari-about-the-dajjaal

If Dajjal was alive back then, then is he still alive or could he timetravel back and forth? Interesting, very interesting conundrums in this story. Let's see how the story unfolds in coming weeks.

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 84

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Al Kahf Time.

Today's Ayah No 84 is introduction of Zulqarnain by Allah swt. Jews and Christians believed he was Cyrus, the saviour of Jews from Babylonia in 6th Century BC. Muslim accounts about Zulqarnain are anything but clear. Past research about Zulqarnain should be viewed in relation with evolution and knowledge of those times. However, world view and understanding of religion must also evolve with furtherance in knowledge and developments in science & technology. So it is natural that modern thinkers cum reformers like Sahil Adeem relate stories like that of Zulqarnain with time travel, intergalactic movement, portals and blackholes as opposed to old school mufasareen. Even the interpretations of relatively modern Quranic thinkers of 20th Century like Dr Israr and bold narrators like Imran Hussain appear lacklustre in the face of modern interpretations in line with astrology, quantum physics and their relation with time & space. Heavy isn't it !!! But unless we stop run of the mill translations and understanding of Quran, how could we revive in this world. Remember Asif from the court of Suleman AS who outshone Afreet (Most powerful jinn) by bringing throne of Queen Sheba in a blink of an eye for only one reason; he had the knowledge of The Book (Al Quran). Ironically, we have the same Book but we don't have its knowledge.

There are so many unanswered questions about Zulqarnain. Take for example today's Ayah No 84. Why Allah swt had to establish Zulqarnain in the earth if he was Cyrus (already a well established King)? The  word سببا means "way", could this mean a portal? We are in for some mind boggling twists and turns in the story of Zulqarnain & really interesting Ayahs ahead, Insha Allah.

دجل کا راج

 جس سکون کے ساتھ “چارجر” نے لندن میں عزت افزائی کرائی وہ دراصل کڑکی تھی۔ مشن مکمل ،14 مزید لوگوں کا ڈیٹا جمع۔ میراثی میڈیا کی ہمدردیاں  بھی اور نیا موضوع بھی۔ اسی رولے میں منشی جی بھی خاموشی سے نور خان بیس پر قدم رنجافرما گئے۔ ویسے آسانی کے لئے دو چار سو پٹواریوں کے علاوہ تمام بائیس کروڑ کا ڈیٹا اکٹھا کر لوکیونکہ لوگ بہت غصے میں ہیں بلکہ تنگ ہیں۔ جدھر بھی جاؤگے یہی ہوگا۔ تم لوگوں کو پذیرائی صرف پنڈی صدر اورھندوستاں میں ہی ملنی ہے۔ 

لیکن  میرے پاکستانیو۔ یہ چارجرایک ٹریپ ہے،اس کو جدھر بھی دیکھو ماسک پہن لو۔ آواز دھیمی رکھو بس میانہ روی سےلعنت کا اہتمام کرلو۔ یاد رکھنا یہ نکلتی صرف نئے شکار کرنے کی لیئے ہے۔  اس کو باآواز بلند بے عزتی سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا بلکہ اس کی مالکن اس کواپنے فائدے کے لئے استعمال کرتی ہے۔ 

یہ بھان وتی  کا کنبہ اور اس کے ہینڈلرز دراصل دجال کے نمائندگان خصوصی ہیں اور دیکھو کس بے شرمی، ڈھٹائی اور طمانیت سے ملک کی بنیادیں ہلا کر رکھ دیں ہیں۔  خاکم بدہن لیکن وقت نکلتا جا رہا ہے گھروں میں بیٹھ باتیں کرنے، میری طرخ لکھ کر بھڑاس نکالنے اور عمران خان کی کال کاکر انتظار کرنے سے کچھ بھی نہیں بدلنے والا۔ 

اللہ کریم پاکستان کی حفاظت فرمائے ، ہماری حمیت کو جگائے او ہمیں باتوں سے عمل کا رستہ طے کرنے کی توفیق دے۔ آمین

ایاز امیر منفی ٹرینڈ کی زد میں

 بڑا ہی تکلیف دہ اور گٹھیا قسم کا ٹرینڈ ایاز امیر کے بارے چل رہا ہے۔ اور وجہ بہت واضح ہے اگر غور کریں وہ آج کل کن کی Good Books میں نہیں ہیں۔ عام قارئین اس ٹرینڈ کی بھینٹ چڑھنے کی بجائےان کی جو بات بھی ناگوار گزرے اسی وقت اس پراپنا نقطہ اعتراز بلند کریں۔ یہ بے وقت کی راگنی اورپھوڑ پن کہ ان کے بیٹے کا عمل مکافات عمل ہے اور ان کے مغربی رجحانات کا نتیجہ ہے۔ تو بھائی جو اپنی خندق میں یہ ٹرینڈ چلا رہے ہیں آپ خود بھی تو جنت الفردوس میں نہیں بیٹھے نہ آپ کے پاس جنت کاکوئی کنفرم انٹری کارڈ ہے۔اس تحریر کا مقصد ایاز امیر صاحب کے کردار کا دفاع نہیں کیونکہ یہ ان کا اور ان کے رب کا معاملہ ہے بلکہ استدعا ہے دوسروں کو معاف کریں اپنی اپنی فکر کریں۔ یہاں ٹرینڈ مذہب اور اخلاقیات کو محض بنیاد کر  چلائے جاتے ہیں اور پس پردہ محرکات کچھ اور ہوتے ہیں۔ 

نہ صرف ایاز امیر صاحب  بلکہ ہر لکھاری کی تحاریر اس اے عمومی “رجحانات“ کی عکاس ہوتی ہیں۔  لیکن اس سوگوار موقع پر ایاز امیر صاحب کو نشان عبرت بنا کر پیش کرنا بھی ان تمام روایات اور نظریات کی پاسداری نہیں ہم جن کی علمبرداری۔کے دعویدار ہیں۔انتقامی تحاریر سے نیکی کا زعم عیاں ہے۔اور خیال کریں اپنے نیک ہونے کا غرور ابلیس کو بھی تھا۔  لیکن کیا کہیں ان کو کیا کریں ان کا جب سرپرستی ان کی مقتدر اعلی اور میڈم پرائم منسٹر خود کریں۔ 

اپنے جیسے عام لوگوں سے گزارش ہے کہ ان کے دجل سے بچیں۔ غلط بات کو غلط ضرور کہیں۔ کسی کی مشکل گھڑی کو تسکین قلب کا باعث مت بنائیں۔ جج مت بنیں۔ خدا کے کام خدا کو کرنے دیں پلیز۔

اے رب کائنات ( یا ستار) ہم سب کے پردے رکھ لینا۔ آمین

Major Khurram Shahzad Shaheed

 

Woke up with the sonorous sound of my cell phone after Fajar today (Monday) 26 September 2022. Next door neighbour Sheraz Bhai announced that Khurram Shahzad has embraced Shahadat. Since Major Khurram was an Aviation pilot so my instinctive question was about a crash but he wasn’t aware of further details. Then the thought train took a full tour about this amazing individual. 

I knew him as long as he was born back in 1983. Grew up just next door. His family went through hard times but I only remember one thing about him, his smile. For four decades from being a child to a be gown up field officer, I don’t have single memory of him without a genuine and warm smile. My heart went out for his mother who went through a lot to see him where he reached. And his two younger brothers who didn’t have words when I embraced them except crying for their loving brother and I didn’t have words enough to comfort them. 

And when I finally lowered his casket to the grave with other three people holding it from each side, I broke down. Hugged his younger brother a cried my heart out. No analysis. No conclusions. Nothing to share today except emotions of compassion and empathy.

Despite all the mourning, I knew he has achieved what chosen ones can. All of us have to go. How we go there means so much. In the end, all of us shall be woken up from the deep slumber but he would be alive all this time. What an honour. What a privilege. May Allah give comfort to all bereaved. May Allah give special strength to his mother. May Allah accept his sacrifice. May He swt keep him among the very best. May he get that seven star adobe (Jannat ul Firdous). May he become the reason to take all his family to Jannah. Ameen ya Rab ul Alameen. 

May his sacrifice make the difference for future of Pakistan. Ameen. 

IK’s Politics & The Syndicate

 Opponents may be dancing in their weekend rave-ups. But IK is toying with them by taking the game to them. Keeping them guessing. They are stuck in their trenches from Rawat, Bara-Kahu, Margalla Hills, Chungi No 26 & West of IJP Road, barely 906.5 km² (ICT)out of 796,095 km² of Pakistan. Trapped in their humongous egos these goons are actually living in mouse hole and trying to roar like sizeable carnivores (didn’t use the word lions purposefully because patwari would only pick one word out of entire script and start celebrating

 “فر من لیا ناں میاں صاحب ہے شیر نیں“

Such is the story of our time. 

Anyway, IK is playing with them on the confidence that people are behind him. He gives a call and they respond. He tells them some big announcement is about to be made but nothing new comes to fore in RYK. Whatever explanation PTI comes up with, people buy it for two reasons. One: the credibility of opponents-all inclusive Syndicate of Top Thugs & Chief Bullies of Pakistan-is below zero and IK must get credit for spreading awareness by stripping the system off its fake attire. Two: people don’t have any other option. Just look at what we’ve got or should we say imposed upon us by the establishment. Every passing day, with every public/ official appearance Crime Minister is getting exposed with Shahbaz Speed. Looking at his miserable existence, best explanation could be that he is a beggarly thief who is a retard joker. If you don’t agree, go watch Mishi Khan’s memes on this clown which may help reach a better conclusion. Likewise, Zardari’s heir to the throne made out of corpses of Bhuttos, is equally unpromising. And lastly, the handlers who made a name for themselves and we hope and pray not at the cost of institution’s repute. If they are not ready to accept the reality that all inevitables of past are under tonnes of earth weight then good for them. They are & will be getting their share of stick now and forever. 

It seems that IK is having fun. He has nothing to lose. They have already dethroned him from premiership, what else can they do to him. Although they left no stone unturned bedevilling him but they couldn’t even take away the lister of his aura. They have been dealing with him as a politician like themselves i.e. pragmatic, corruptible and apple polisher. So they threw everything at him except the kitchen sink as per their own imagination and standards. Nothing has worked from character assassination to religious card, they have exhausted their slimy bag of tricks. 

May be one thing which would be extremely difficult to grasp for them is to think about doing matching politics with him. They are so miserable right now, so out of gas and ideas that the entire morally bankrupt ‘syndicate’ is pitiable. They continue to fall in the abyss of their stupid ideas and false egos. 

Having said that IK is no angel either (time to invite fire from Insafians abuse brigade). He is playing his politics well. He continues to delay his offensive. He missed the train on 25/26 May and procrastinated his call yeasterday at RYK Jalsa. Though he claims that it’s not about him but Pakistan yet doesn’t take any concrete step towards resolution of current crisis then he is only slightly different from The Syndicate. IK is not being fair. He is waiting for a disaster/ change of mind by Estb to allow him back in power. Going back to assemblies is one more evidence to this effect. That to me is highly unfair because it tantamount to IK playing with people’s longstanding desire for genuine change. Pakistan’s economic situation is gloomy & grim. What if handlers of The Syndicate have this plan (based on their ideological beliefs) to push Pakistan to the point of no return. Should we then wait for the Thugs and Bullies to execute their plans? And if they do, would we be able to forgive ourselves for watching it happen on the sidelines? 

Surah Al Kahf - Ayah No 83

Assalam o Alaikum. Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. Time to connect with Al Kahf. A gentle reminder to recite whole or part of Al Kahf on this blessed day.

Today's Ayah No 83 marks the beginning of penultimate Rukuh and Story of Zulqarnain. Just to recap, this is fourth major story of Al Kahf. Idolators of Mecca asked four questions from Rasool Allah (SAW) once tipped off by Jews (source of mischief on earth to date) of Medina. Guided by religious teachings, Jew tribes had relocated themselves around Medina. They threw their best punches through Meccans to satisfy their curiosity whether it was The Prophet for whom they had been waiting all this time or else. Questions they asked were about Rooh, Men of Cave (Kahf Boys), Khizar AS and Zulqarnain. Except Rooh, rest three were answered in Al Kahf. Answer to Rooh was given in Surah Isra (17), Ayah 85. For this connection (answer about Rooh), it is advisable to explore Al Isra (17) & Al Kahf (18) in tandem for better understanding.

Having answered all their questions, Allah swt said in Quran that they (Jews) recognised Rasool Allah SAW like their sons. But they wouldn't accept it because they had settled around Medina in hope to have one out of them (Bani Israel) to be honored with ultimate Prophethood. Their wish didn't come true. It was too hard on their egos to submit to a Prophet from Bani Ismail.

Please note that above blog entry on Hazrat Zulqarnain is based on past research and should not be taken as final. There is much more to him and his story which we shall explore in due course Insha Allah. 

IK Daring The Establishment- Part 2

 IK Daring The Establishment- Part 2

Establishment’s eternal accomplice,  Pakistani Media (Print, Electronic & Digital) is 99.99% subdued. The only genre they have not been able to harness is digital media particularly Vloggers because they are paid by YouTube and not by the compromised media houses except BOL & ARY (partially compromised due to recent data update). Since most media is fed, controlled and patronised by info/ public relations department of both Govt & establishment, few genuine media people got into real quandary when establishment shifted its narrative in favour of Thieves. Some of media people had built their careers on these narratives. It would have been a disaster for Imran Riaz Khan & Siddique Jan to take a U turn on narrative injected into them, on which they got convinced and sold it to people. 

Interestingly, everyone in this country was forced to think or rethink his/ her approach towards politics, establishment and future of Pakistan in past five months. Starting from myself, I was indoctrinated that NS, AAZ even JUI, JI had foreign agendas to serve. Past decade we were fed on their corruption scandals and other shortcomings. When they would abuse Army, we would stand like sentinels of our institution at digital media frontiers. IK was presented to us in different way. Longing for overdue change, most people stood by the slogan of change. Suddenly, a change of heart by the most powerful man in the country and IK seemed to possess every ill imaginable and his Govt was toppled. Establishment installed same people whom they vilified for past two decades. Was established right then or now? Actually, it never was right.

Our men in uniform are real gemstones. They are simple, God fearing and if situation demands they would put their lives for this country without second thought. With all these super cool qualities, they are easy to manipulate as were we in our younger days. Some hard core soldiers still have faith in the ‘system’ and I feel for them because once I was one of them and thought exactly the same way and bought the deceitful narrative as it was sold to me. And I would beg everyone to draw a distinctive line between soldiers in the field and astray decision makers. My heart bleeds for my institution and the country but hope must remain alive.

There is a way out rather face saving option for the big face & redemption for the institution. Abandon thieves. Simply disown them. Continue in the big office. Have fresh elections if possible, free & fair. Let people have their say. Let them shape destiny. Let new Chief Executive choose the next most powerful man in the country. If this option not taken & ‘engineering’ continues then country shall be pushed back a decade or two and institution shall take couple of generations to redeem itself.  

For IK, what happened or didn’t happen on 25/26 May can’t go unnoticed.  You stood us up. We felt stranded like Pakistan, forsaken by all institutions and politicians. The only ray of hope was that we were there with Pakistan. So when you decide to go out this time, first reach there, share your Google pin and we may join you. 

IK Daring The Establishment- Part 1

After 25th May, for the first time today 19 Sep 2022, in Chakwal IK spoke the right language. Thus far, he might be playing for the record books as it was his 50th Jalsa since 17 March this year. But no matter how much you speak, only that language would be heard in which your opponent understands best. And that is the language of stick because you are up against a cruel and coward enemy. These people are not heirs of Hassan Ibn Ali Al Murtaza ( May Allah be please with Him) who gave up caliphate and eventually his life to prevent bloodshed among own people. They are heirs of cruel like Hujjaj bin Yousaf and coward like Louis The 16th. 

I had stopped writing. I had lost interest in this dry movement of words. On 25th May I was there all night with my kids struggling with poisonous gas. A random spray of bullets wasn’t out of the cards. But it was not about physical degradation by gas or decimation with bullet, it was way above that. It was about Pakistan. It was about the future of Pakistan. 

I got calls. They didn’t bother me. Couldn’t budge me. Could never break my soul Insha Allah. But what broke me was that the leader backed out. IK didn’t show up at D Chowk that day. He must have his reasons. But I was convinced that he had to take this matter head on with imported Govt and establishment. To bring real change top down, he had to walk the walk. Yes, it wasn’t easy. It couldn’t be easy. He has had taken on four (fourth one is new addition) power houses in Pakistan as per Aitezaz Ahsan of PPP.  USA, Establishment, Judiciary and House of Sharif. Btw Aitezaz Ahsan has also broken the shackles and has been speaking naked truth lately. Ironically, too late for loud truth because Zardari has murdered the party of ZAB. Aitezaz Ahsan, took politics as his full time profession giving up Civil Superior Services and active advocacy and ended up speaking truth which he could have done all his life and might have made a better name for himself. 

Coming to the point. Last week’s hot news that the deal has been brokered between IK & US/establishment was heartbreaking. Some dubbed it as a wise move but I maintained that after what has happened in past five months, it would be catastrophic to trust this establishment. How could you trust them? They have mercilessly brought this nation to its knees economically and every other way. They also got exposed. They couldn’t hold the illusion of hard core Pakistaniat. The myth is busted. Along Establishment another partner in crime i.e  media is badly exposed. How bad? Let’s find out in Part 2.
