Accented: I Became a Linguistic Chameleon A very good and a thought-provoking article! The writer has pointed out a serious issue: mocking at trivial things like the way people pronounce English words and their English having accents or an accent. In the present post-colonial world, there is the need to ignore such things because all the varieties of English,whether Pakistani, Indian or African or any other, are wholly acceptable. Even the study of Linguistics and of Dialectology lead us to forget these minor differences(in the sense of using them for mocking) and just enjoy having their presence.

Night Out simple but spontaneous! well-coherent and a lovely piece of writing!

What Drives Men and Women of Indian Subcontinent to Infidelity? THE WRITER`S OBSERVATIONS HOLD TRUE NOT ONLY FOR THE MUSLIMS BUT ALSO FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE. THE NEED OF THE HOUR IS THAT WE INCULCATE MORAL VALUES IN OUR CHILDREN, A STRONG SENSE OF RIGHT AND WRONG, MARRY THEM OFF AT A YOUNG AGE SO THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO ADOPT IMMORAL WAYS THEREBY SAVING THEM FROM THE GUILT OF VIOLATING THE CULTURAL AND THE RELIGIOUS NORMS.

Seemingly, God is Angry at America a thought-provoking article! There always is a limit to everything and one when one crosses his limits especially in terms of power and pride, he invites Allah`s wrath onto himself. This is what America, under the leadership of G.W.Bush has done.And, if it does not mind its ways even after such great calamities, it would taste more of it.The wise always learn a lesson from their experiences and change for the betterment.

Love Among The Ruins A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION OF FEELINGS AND LANGUAGE ESPECIALLY IN THE SECOND STANZA! THE MESSAGE THAT IT GIVES ME IS THAT WE MUST NEVER LET OUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS MAR THE BEAUTY OF OUR PRESENT AND THAT IT IS NEVER TO BE OVERLOOKED BUT TO BE ENJOYED.

When I Die simply beautiful!

R.A. STANDS FOR RAZI-ALLAH-ANHAA, AN ARABIC TERM MEANING `ALLAH HAS BEEN PLEASED WITH`. IT IS USED FOR ALL THE FEMALE COMPANIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET(PEACE BE UPON HIM). ANHOO IS USED FOR THE MALE COMPANIONS. IT IS USED BECAUSE ALLAH, THE ALMIGHTY HAS DECLARED THAT HE HAS BEEN PLEASED WITH THEM. FOR A DETSAILED STUDY, PLEASE REFER TO SURAT AL-FATAH, VERSE 18 AND ITS BACKGROUND.

THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THE WORKS OF THE LONG-AGO DEAD PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LITERARY TASTE. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE STILL ENJOY SHAKESPEARE, MILTON , GHAALIB AND IQBAL.WE MUST NOT USE ANY BAD NAME FOR A PEOPLE AS WE, THE ASIANS , MUST LOOK INTO OUR OWN SELVES FIRST.WELL, THE LANGUAGE WE USE REFLECTS OUR OWN THOUGHTS.

Hazrat Khansaa RE TO #7
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING LITERARY TASTE WHO ENJOY THE WORKS OF LONG-AGO DEAD PEOPLE LIKE SHAKESPEAR`S OR GHAALIB, IQBAAL OR KHANSAA(R.A.). WE SHOULD REFRAIN FROM CALLING PLACES AND PEOPLE BY BAD NAMES AS THERE ARE MANY WHO CAN RIGHTLY USE BAD NAMES FOR MANY OF THE ASIAN PLACES AS BLACK SHEEP ARE FOUND EVERYWHERE.IN ADDITION, THEY SAY AND IT IS TRUE THAT LANGUAGE IS THE GARMENT OF OUR THOUGHTS.

Hazrat Khansaa Re: # 6
R.A. STANDS FOR RAZIALLAHU-ANHAA, AN ARABIC TERM MEANING `MAY ALLAH, THE ALMIGHTY BE PLEASED WITH HER`. THE MUSLIMS USE THIS TERM BECAUSE ALLAH HIMSELF STATED IN THE HOLY QURAN THAT HE HAS BEEN PLEASED WITH THE COMPANIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET,MUHAMMAD(PEACE BE UPON HIM).PLEASE REFER TO THE HOLY QURA`N, CHAPTER26,VERSE #18. AND NOW THIS TERM IS USED WITH THE NAMES OF ALL THE COMPANIONS(R.A.).

THANKYOU FOR THE APPRECIATION AND THE ECOURAGEMENT AND ALSO FOR GIVING THE ADDRESS OF THE WEBSITE.

Hazrat Khansaa In the battle of Qa’dsia, she urged all four of her sons to take part and to fight bravely. When she heard the news of the martyrdom of them all, she exclaimed: “All praise is to Allah who honoured me through their martyrdom.” So, this was the change that Islam had brought in her: on the one hand, we find her urging her tribesmen to avenge her brothers’ death and on the other hand, she, as a mother, sends all her children to the battlefield and is grateful for their martyrdom.


THESE LINES DEFINITELY SHOW US A FACET OF HER PERSONALITY THAT CANNOT BE OVERLOKED: SACRIFICE IN THE WAY OF ALLAH. SURELY, IF A PERSON CAN SACRIFICE ALL HIS CHILDREN FOR THEIR LORD, THEY ARE NOT BEING HYPOCRITES OR DIPLOMATIC. INFACT, THEY ARE ON THE ZENITH OF HUMANITY.
