A Teacup in My Hand
Posted by Fumair May 8, 2007 03:10 pm
good piece !!
nice way of creating scenes ,through time.
to add few things ...........
i wonder why chowk admin promotes anti -islamic concepts.
no offense to anyone in particular, but man marrying twice is not that bad,as it is advertised time to time,by those who are agonist to the idea.(good or bad!!not discussing)
if it`s a matter of having different point point of views, then why we havn`t seen a single article in favor of the point.?
Since it is in accordance to islam, then i guess ,no muslim should have any conflict over the issue, and non-muslims,i believe ,would respect the teaching of other religion .!
The Day We Killed Bob Woolmer
Posted by Fumair Mar 20, 2007 03:25 pm
Like other human being,very same sad morning , i read the news .
later i saw this article and learned how he was poisioned ,killed after conspiracy,that was unvieled by sherlock holmes (Mr Zarrar) clues were so evident that neither his wife nor any one else ,pointed out the team or pakistan borad,but Mr Zarrar who was so close to the team and alone with Mr woolmer ,that he happened to read the``black diary`` of the coach ,in which the name of the KILLER was highlighted under the date of the incident.
I am amazed how a death of a coach ,who worked hard on my Pakistani team, was painted as a homcide case,and worst of all, mullah`s and tableeighi`s are acussed.
it is the hatred of writer and the commeterians ,that a simple death of a person ,is all along linked to mullah`s all of a sudden, what a bigotry!!! i say
I wana ask , can a person simply die in this world ,with out mullah`s being guilty for it ,especially in CHowk!
i wonder ,one day Marlyn Monroe`s death would be linked to mullah`s as well.
may be one of the chowkies ,has already started something about it .!!

To Die For.....the War at Wana
Posted by Fumair Oct 17, 2006 03:44 am
TO DIE FOR…. THE WAR OF WANNA


Images flashed on the television screen; a burning homes, scattered FC troops behind mud barricades,house hold things scattered all over the places. Bullets marks over living houses,and coffins wrapped in the national flag. Dead bodies are put in a row on the side of the road all to be buried in one. Weapon of the terrorists are shown in a bulletin ,old MK 47,s few grenades and rocket launchers.This was the footage of the war taking place in Wana - where our soldiers are engaged in a bloody combat with the so called foreign militants.

We all know what has led to this military conflict in Wana. The general’s threat to the tribal elders, the revelation of his killers identities, and the need to impress the great Colin Powell. An interesting mix of events that has triggered off a war that has left many wounded and dead.

Who are the dead?there gul Muhammad, Muhammad jehanzaib khan ,shah ahmed achkzai ,who killed them ? sher Muhammad of pakistan military , gul sher , zaryab ahmed .For us, they are just names that are announced in the news or printed in newspapers. But infact they are not names, they both were humans believed in the superiorty of Allah subhanotallah and the prophecy of prophet Muhammad salalhoalewasullum, and the sovereignty of shariyat.
I payed tax to government to be used over my defence to save my land, and my identity but yet killing my brother on both side. I PAID THE ASSASIGNS OT KILL MY OWN FAMILY ,isn’t it . why use military in Pakistan ?They are men who have sworn to laid down their lives, fighting against the enemies ,invaders and terrorsits. They are men whose bodies were put in wooden coffins with the green and white flag around it and carried off to be buried ceremoniously. But they are also men who leave behind old mothers and fathers, young siblings and anxious wives whose existence depended wholly on the shoulders of the young soldiers. And the soldiers lie dead in the battle.
Imagine rehmatul gul , use to live in waziristan for decades ,with his small family and son serving in Pakistan army, one day he saw a military troop helicopter over his sewing field , he is waving with joy upon the sight , but all of a sudden a rocket shell exploeded in the land next to his field because his neighbor`s son had visited Afghanistan in afghan Russian war(or ameican Russian war).

Soldiers are supposed to lay down their lives for their homeland,protecting against whom. They are trained for this from the day they wear the uniform that they so proudly exhibit. Theirs is not to question why, theirs is but to do and die. And that is what our soldiers have been doing since this country was born, laying down their lives for no worthy cause and asking no questions.

It was these waziristan people who served in army and who had laid down their lives in the 1965 war after our leaders` failure to rouse the Kashmiris to a full fledged combat with India. It was these soldiers, who were forced to surrender in 1971, when their leaders forgot that they had responsibility towards the people of the Eastern wing of the country.

It was very much ,discussed that our journal pus#sy cat, didn’t use the army platoon belonging to this area, but all the mens were from Punjab abd sindh rejiment.
Senior official of the army are not at all happy ,because of the fact , that these tribal area has kept Pakistani borders safe and helped and defend us in the time of need .
Stupid are those ,who loose and and accumulate enemies, making waziristan another of our enemy is not a decision of a journal.
Unless , journal sahib wants to be reformer ,will be American national after his retirement , if that so , then any thing he will ,will be a dictation from white house ,what else?

Yes, pick up the paper and read how manypakistani troops died in war against pakistani(balouchi, sindhi ,pukhtoon,If I am allowed to use word war for this act.?
I’m With Stupid
Posted by Fumair Oct 14, 2006 03:24 pm
i had a friend in karachi, who was studying electronic engineering in recognized university belonged to the Aokay family , no problem with money or else.
Watching too much american movies make him apply United states with out completing his bachelors, long story short , he is in sub urbs of alabama ,away from his parents , living alone, working at some petrol pump.
He left love of parents, life of prosperity, circle of friendship since toddlers, for the sake of United states you shown .poor soul.
i wish there should be more articles like yours,to save future of our thick head people.
Changing Muslim Hearts
Posted by Fumair Oct 14, 2006 03:10 pm
nice hallucinations.
my brother died in american bombing , am i able to for give them , my city is under crises, who should i blame ?
My sub continent is under priviledged ,because of some one`s fault and i am sure, i we are to be blammed then United states policy makers are not innocent?
Muslim should not say work like ,islam suck , ? because he was accused of some thing,we didn`t even do it .
I state two different point of my layman society
we are not happy with united states as long as we are not invited over ,once we are we forget what they did to us .
secondly : muslims are blammed because of the clear fact that only muslim are are majorly under attacks ,so 911 story was without logic labelled to be muslims act. many facts now prove the involvement of people other than muzlims,if u include Alqaeda and taliban as muzlims.

Riba and the Pakistani Economy
Posted by Fumair Oct 12, 2006 06:48 pm
i heard , mufti taqi usmani sahab ,x-chief justice ,wrote a book about islamic financing,readily available in 3 commonly used languages of muzlim world,arabic,english and urdu.
A pakistan based alim, who later invited by European universities for talk sessions initially about riba and new possible ways of islam for finanicing .
After his intital visits in 90`s he was constantly invited through america to lecture upon the same topic , i come across his writings while confused after reading articles like yours.
Thanx ,to him for helping people like me and also to you for poking us to find correct version of the story .
take no offense , read the book ,please
My Ramadan
Posted by Fumair Oct 12, 2006 05:27 pm

I am now a bit grate ful to Almighty for His grant of seheri and aftari at my home with my family , caz prior to last year i use to avail with my friends aaa ramadhan buffets specials in the lighting city.
khair, long story short foot note , i learned my lesson , and don`t let my parents alone at the aftari table.
Animal Language
Posted by Fumair Oct 12, 2006 05:20 pm
though , i am sure ,no molvi would give u give a fatwa upon these grounds,
because challenged sanity needs therapy not a shariyah advice,i will highly recommend that you to take an appointment t to local psychiatrist , and till the appointment date , stop
watching dr.doolitle (all parts) .
These rituals are for your own good , none else.
I think we should stop blamming Molvi`s ,persay , and, do what pleases us, why pulling their names in between.
adios

Re: # 20
well, rightly said ,just to clear the idea that molana rumi rehmatullah never preached the ideology of praising sheikh more than prophet not any other lunatic dancing ,
prove can be assimilated from his own verses,if one bothers

As being an student, i some times do read mathnavi molana room , and it`s description
not to mention , he was one of the greatest spiritual poet of all times , he reminds in his own mathnavi that these verses descends me from Almighty and found no control over it , that is the reason he blurtly stop narrating the mathnavi to his student sheikh hassam uddin .
molana jalauddin rumi,grand son of shah khuwarzum,shamtabreez (rehmatullah) before that he use to lead hundred of ulema`s at a time , but after joining the companionship ,he quit every thing,and remained with shams tabreez rehmatullah , later on shamz tabreez rehmatullah ale ,due to commoners opposition ,disappeared in the night silently , left him for good .
Molana room was the only ever student of shamz tabreez r.a and after that he start narrating mathnavi to his student, 26000 verses in his mathnavi is claimed by ulema`s as one of the authentic book over sufism,and tasawuuf.
to end all this description , i `d like to clearify that not a single verse in mathnavi promotes that one should in dulge in dancing or any sort of msucial event .

This is a real misery , agonising sight that such knowledge of wisdom, love ,devotion for religion is used by taboo dancer .
some people will jump to argue about `sama`and other things , but really the experience our author hand ,was not of any DERVAISH ,but simply the drama of few people to earn the bread .
i co-relate it with qawwal ,who clap and shout with `pan ` in their mouth ,long hairs ,jewellary on them is far more than a mediocre wife in pakistan. giving imitation of devine experiences , but i have seen these people with closeness and repant upon the experience.
molana rumi in his alwaz talked about islam Allah ,devinity with in the limits of knowledge given by last prophet mohammad salalhoalwalewasullum .
please read , mathnavi molana room!!!!!!!!!!
