On Eid Ul Fitr 2011

First of all, I would like to wish the whole Muslim Ummah a very happy Eid, and I pray to Allah, may he forgive all our sins on this glorious day and i send a lot of tributes, Salam to our beloved prophet.

You will find this post to be unusually cool and calm, and I, myself do not wish to spark another debate by saying a word on burning topics like Gaddafi and Hazare on this special occasion. This is to tell you a very interesting thing, yesterday, while i was busy in Eid shopping, I suddenly felt that I am a big sinner, i had not utilized the sacred month of Ramadhan. My heart raced with fear and my breath just got deeper and deeper and at once I felt my lips fluttering, reciting this:

"O Allah, We praise you, you are the praiseworthy alone. Surely I have done many sins, knowingly and unknowingly, but my lord, I seek your forgiveness as you are the most merciful, O my lord, save me from the Satnic provocations, the Satan out there and from the Satan that is within me, Save me from fire."

After this, I felt like a cold breeze blew all over my blood and i was feeling like blessed. The purpose of telling you all this is that, when you are really and really regretful and guilty of your sins by heart, there is no reason that our Supreme Lord will not forgive us. May Allah guide us to the right path and may this Eid bring you a lot of happiness, blessing. Thank you for reading.

Love and its goal

When I talk of love I don't mean something that you might have seen in movies. The real love is a bit different, or at least in my case. I don't hesitate to accept the fact that a strange new feeling that is non-expressible, which we often call love, has been to me one time earlier. Consider my case, there is a girl I liked, I had a big secret LIKE for her since long, but i did pay no attention toward anything else. For example, even being a classmate i didn't talk to her, i would say nothing, and so she would. And I kept liking her. Day by day, this strange new feeling increased. Whenever i would think about her the heart beat raced. Why did not i say anything? The problem is, i have a deep 'respect-like thing' for her and next, my heart starts throbbing in front of her. It may sound a little weird but it is true that one may have such feeling for the one he/she loves.
Finally one day, i thought about telling this to her and then came up a question atop my senses: what is the final goal of this LOVE? This left me puzzled, do I want physical relations? No, currently, not at all. Do I want anything else? There is nothing to wish. so what do I want? What is the goal of love? The ultimate goal of love is sacrifice or to give away, the goal of love is the willing to share all of what you can, since no one, nor any thing last forever. And in fact, there is no need to create the goal of love, the goal is love itself. If you have an attraction towards someone’s beauty, not the whole existence, character, behaviour and all other things, then it is not love. This is what I believe. Most of the times, we notice 'love' only with an opposite gender person of our age but love has no such restrictions, it may happen with your mother, father, teacher or a professor. Here I would like to quote one answer to this: "The Ultimate ‘goal’ is to love without limits, boundaries, conditions, or expectations. Expectations can lead to disappointment which can in turn lead to hate. Now whether this goal is realistic or not is another question."

Are women oppressed in islam?

It is generally a widespread idea among public that you muslims keep women in veil, you keep them in burkha, chadar and many other things because muslim treats them as secondary object - the half human. And the muslim will have other other view. why?...  we will examine the real status of weomen under the Islamic System.
let us see how do you say women is secondary object. the explanation or the reason put forward by peoples who say that women is opressed in islam are:

• first of all, all one see is the physical appearance of women i.e their clothing style: Burqa, hijab or the other veiling cloth. that seems to be a barrier and to some peoples a kind of oppression. 

• the second thing people see are the comments like "She also has to bear him children and hide herself from the public, as though her very existence were a shame." 
• third point is raised by only those who have studied Islam a little more : "why does she get lesser share in property of parents?"

Believe me, You can't raise a single other question!

Okay that was the Question, here is the answer:

• If a veiled woman is meant to be oppressed and she is thought not to be free, then my bro you are wrong. It just indicates the importance of woman! take it biologically, The most important part of your body constitutes brain, it is protected by hardest bone, veiled by many layer and it never gets even light! it shows its importance not the oppression! okay? :) We, the Muslim, thinks that women are the honor for our family, the medal for our society and to protect her from various anti social elements (we all have this element in ourselves) we think it is better for her safety to be veiled. where they are not veiled they are raped: take the example of america and Iran/Saudi Arabia on the other hand. see the difference in number women abducted, molested or raped. In chapter 33, entitled Soorah Al-Ahzaab (The Clans), verse 59 Allaah The Exalted Almighty Says (what means): "O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the woman of the believers to bring down over themselves (part) of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known (as free respectable women) and not be abused. And ever is Allaah Forgiving and Merciful." [Quran 33:59] This verse shows that Islam makes wearing a Hijaab necessary. Hijaab is the word used for covering, not only the head scarves (as some people may think) but also wearing loose clothes that are not too bright.
• the second thing people see are the comments like "She also has to bear him children and hide herself from the public, as though her very existence were a shame." The main reason for this is that people often fail to distinguish between culture and religion -- two things that are completely different. In fact, Islam condemns oppression of any kind whether it is towards a woman or humankind in general. If you see the western culture, you will find that there women serve the husband, earns money and everything else. But in our religion, it is men who serve them, it is compulsory on them to fulfill their needs!! She can work, if she like, under Islamic conditions and she can go out, but with a body guard: her husband or brother or son! is that oppression or advantage??
• And about property share:in Islam she gets lesser than brother. first thing is do they even get share of property in other religion??? she get lesser because she has share in her husband's property!! so simple!

I will post more things regarding this at later time as i have to study for my upcoming exam. you can leave your question in comment. thanks for reading. 

Mango culture of India

Mango in Urdu is Called Aam Which generally means common. Mango is So
Common in India that is it called Aam. (by the way it is not root Of
the word.) and then you may surely Say a common Indian man to be a
mango-man (Aam admi)...ha ha..ha...
It is Of those times when I was Just ten and none Of the mango trees
beard fruit in our garden when I was in my Village. And except ours,
each Of the garden had a large number Of fruit. me with my friend
roamed all around different gardens to get unripe mangoes we First
picked hanging one ourselves and would Say to the boy guarding it
"...kya haal hai dost, Subah se baithe baithe thak gaya hoga..chal Aam
Khate hain. bol kaunsa todun?.." (wassup friend? You would be tired
Sitting here Since morning Come-on Lets have Some mango...so, which
one Should I pluck?) and then we would have a good feast. One of my
friend always Carried Common salt with him for the purpose. Because
unripe mangoes tastes great with Salt. And another year when we had
ourselves huge bearing, I would always accompany my gramma to check if
they were ready. When all of the mangoes on all 34 trees were taken
down they are divided into three equal numbers. One for the poor,
another for the guard and one part was ours. the other morning all
family members comes together many of the mangoes are dipped into
water and everybody enjoys. Even the poor who got their share. Since
Islam teaches us to giveaway.
But now we had moved to city to study and earn and there lives our old
ailing diabetic granma who now gives away even her own Share to the
poor. Now there lives Just memories of those golden days and all we
Could do is to go to the mango festival at delhi haat, and buy Some
mangoes.
This is our culture, This is India's culture- the mango culture and
we love it.

Is facebook antimuslim, antichrist or ANTICHRISLAM?

is facebook antimuslim or antichrist ?
Can you use abusive words in front of a gathering of 400 million?
Definitely you can't , but there is one who dares to do so! It is
facebook! Believe me, facebook not only does so but it doesn't even
Cares a little of religious Sentiments Of its users.
So, Case being this Can we Say facebook antimuslim or antichrist? If
you ask this from a layman or a die hard religious kindof people,
"definitely" is the answer You may expect. I being a Muslim think that
facebook is more of antichrist than antimuslim because those who will
Suffer the rage of any form(Violent/ peaceful) if arose, are only
among them. So it is a modern form of antichrist.
you may argue that this is indirect or Side-effect not original
intention, you are right and this is the most powerful point. It is
Said that FACEBOOK IS USED BY JEWISH AGENCIES TO KNOW THE WAY OF
THINKING OF MUSLIMS, TO PLAN THEIR GOALS. And facebook does many
things that is Considered offensive to a Muslim. facebook is
antimuslim From above lines. Then what is facebook in fact?
ANTICHRIslam?
No! To understand this let us See the flip side Of the coin. Facebook
is infact a Commercial entity So it does whatever makes it
Commercially Stronger and it Can do anything that can make it to draw
potential users. no commercial entity that want to spread can bear
getting away its client/ customer. Pages like 'Draw Muhammad day' were
Constructed under a cloak of 'conspiracy' to get media attention
because at times number of facebook 'active' users And newbies were
decreased too much. To get a boost two things were planned one was to
raise 'privacy' issue and other to raise 'religious Sentiments' And
facebook team was quite successful in both of them. They chose Muslims
because they are themselves Christian who are grown up in missionaries
like bacteria and they necessarily think all Muslims to be fool (but
I think Muslim governments are bunch of crooks, fools not Muslims).

So how can we Muslim teach them a lesson? Answer is, Just delete your
facebook account but due to Some reason if you Can't then there are
two alternatives.
1. Use facebook through email : use reply to mail feature and it is
enough for their loss because facebook earns through appearance and
Clicks of ads on Site.
2. If you Cant implement above then reduce use as much as you Can and
never click On any ad at the Sides of any kind even if you find them
useful.
3. Never click On any ad at the Sides of any kind even if you find them useful.

If each of the Muslims employed this facebook will get back to origin
in Just three months. I hope you would have understood the diplomacy
behind all this. please Share this.
