A Glass Full of Milk

Recently I was forwarded a heart touching story. A story which many might have heard or read but still it is worth sharing. The story shows how simple acts of kindness can help you gather up heaps of Hasanaat (Good Deeds) and how they come to help at the most unlikely of the places.Teaching us an important subject on how to live being self-less in life. The story goes like this...

Adultery: 10 Reasons to Stop It

Adultery, as discussed earlier is one of the Moharramat's which Allah has prohibited Click Here To Read. Allah Subhanahu clearly states his message in the Quran, he says "Do not go near adultery. Surely it is a shameful deed and evil, opening roads (to other evils)" (Quran 17:32) He also states "Women impure are for men impure and men impure are for women impure, and women of purity are for men of purity and men of purity are for women of purity" (Quran 24:26). Islam is not the only religion that prohibits Adultery, but all the major religions including Christianity also prohibit Adultery, Prostitution and Fornication.

Social Adaptions: The Good, The Bad

  Our society is the result of change of centuries and millenniums of transforming and adapting to the environment. The only constant thing in the world is change, it is the most basic instinct every human being has in his body and soul. From the day the baby is born, continuous changes happen to the body. The soul too keeps on changing, learning new things each day. The wheel of life never stops for them and they are just cogs to the machinery that is called society.
  The society's development like the Soul and Body never stop. Whichever way the cogs move decides the movement of the whole machine. In right or wrong, it is up to the human beings to decide where to lead their society. Make a morally and ethically applauded statement to the world, or the one which seems shameful and disgusting. There is good but more is the bad. And the root of everything bad is that Humans take the decision for adaption. Whether the decision is wise or not false and destructive decisions based on emotions and feelings are made.

  The problem that eventually started all things bad was listening to the laziness of the body and attraction towards earthly wonders. Each of the "ill-deeds" practised in the society are related to these two evil thoughts. From Drinking alcohol to cheating, each and every thing has some how got a relation with laziness and ill-fated attraction towards earthly desires without the consent of the ethical and moral codes of being socialised, or simply being someone with a brain instead of a nut.
  Drinking, Tobacco, Smoking, Gambling, Drugs (Opium, Heroine, Crystal Meth, Spirits etc) are just a few to name. These things have mostly rotten our brains and fried our systems. The best part is that the person does not understand the FACT!!! The addictions is so mesmerising that it's smog blurs the way ahead and stimulates the brain in thinking that this is the right thing.
  So, the society needs adaption it is it's very nature, deciding your faith and it's faith is up to you. Retaliation from such devious acts is necessary. If not stopped , chances of reversal are very low. The decision is in your hands! want to be a healthy Hunkie or want to be an addicted Junkie?

Veils: Banned Burka Helpful?

  Veils, a dress code existing since ancient times. Romans, Greek and every noble lady used them. Sculptures all across Europe can be found with women wearing veils. It was worn by European women as a symbol of royalty through the Middle Ages. It was used as a symbol of honor and respect, common women and prostitutes were forbidden from wearing it. Only the noble and the worthy were to wear the veil.

  Veils like symbols of royalty also has religious values attached to it. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just a few examples of such religions. Jew women can be seen worshiping with veils in Synagogues. Christian women in Churches. While the Muslim women can be seen in their everyday life wearing a Muslim veil known as Hijab or Burqah. MuslimWomen are found in different types of veils all over the world. Full coverings, Half coverings, Scarves and many different types of veils are worn by the Muslim women. An Islamic veil protect's women, and covers most of the body (Their are different types and ideologies now). 

   The Islamic veil covers a woman's body and makes her less provactive and that makes her a lesser of a victim for unsocial behaviours. There are many threats in this society, for women most of them occur due to provactive wear.
  The Delhi gang rape case being the latest issue in the sub-continent, shows that problems like these occur due to provocative dressing. The panel of judges set for the case were in 68% support with the dressing being the cause of such sort of violence. Madurai Adheenam a Hindu High-Priest said that women should wear clothing that would cover their body entirely. They should wear Purdah like clothing of the Muslim Women. The Muslim veil for today's world of rape and murder is the best fit.

  Thus,the talks by Madurai Adheenam show that he though being a Hindu accepts what Islam has to offer. The High-Priest acknowledges what other religions offer and right now what is necessary for the betterment of the people. I completely agree with his statement, but many countries disapprove the idea and are banning the full veil. To me it's an opression of justice and freedom. You cannot take someone's freedom of clothing away. If these women want wear Niqabs or Burqah's, it should be upto them. At the latest, France Burka Ban and Belgian Ban on Burqa are examples of bad democratic examples. I think the revolt against burkas is wrong. What Do You Think?

Michael Jordan: The Legend "His Airness"

    Most recently I wrote about the South African Paralympian and what a bad example he has set up for the society. I think sportsmen have forgotten they are heroes for many and role models for future generations. But I think I may be wrong. Not all Superstars of the sports world are setting bad examples.
  Now, there's Michael Jordan the living legend of NBA. The basketball player who played for more than two decades entertaining and winning the heart of many fans. Michael Jordan who played for Chicago Bulls now owns most shares of the Charlotte Bobcats. Which gives him a net-worth of 80 million U.S Dollars.

  That is not the point, he even though not stepping to play in the court for over a decade gave the 19 year old a tough time. The rookie Kidd-Gilchrist played one-on-one with him. The rookie who is still 7 months from 20 lost to the NBA legend Michael Jordan who will turn 50 coming Sunday.
  That is how you encourage future generations. Michael Jordan is successful, MJ is also responsible. Still lives to his reputation. A role model for not only Basketball enthusiasts but for Businessmen and all the sportsmen to invest securely and responsibly even after the end of their careers.
  Today Michael Jordan is the most successful celebrity. Michael Jordan has the highest net worth among celebrities and actively participates in his sport of interest. He is a good example of a role model (his current actions count the most). Sportsmen and future Sportsmen should learn from The NBA living legend Michael Jordan. What Do You Think?

Oscar Pistorious: Blade Runner or Blade Gunner ?

  Sportsmen are considered as role models for the coming generation. Watching their athleticism and focus in the sport excites and attracts the future generation of sportsmen to play for their country. Sportsmen are role models, they are expected to set up examples for the future sportsmen. They have many followers, and each move they make is watched by all of their fans as well as the whole world.
  Oscar Pistorious, the very famous Paralympic Superstar who participated in the London Paralympics last September was all over the news. Oscar Pistorious the South African Paralympian was the first Paralympian to participate in an Olympics race. Pistorious was amputated from his knee since birth.

  The History making Paralympian's actions have left every one in a shock. Fans of Pistorious and the whole South African nation are in a shock. Oscar Pistorious Who was a gold winner in both 100 metres and 200 metres as well as 400 metres in his Paralympics career disappointed the crowd when accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorious's girlfriend Reeva, a model was to debut on a television show. But fate had something else for her. The Famous Paralympian Oscar Pistorious shot her at his home in Pretoria.
  The authorities found the body of Reeva Steenkamp in a pool of blood in the family's home in Pretoria.He is being accused of "Premeditated Murder". The penalty if the charge is proven will be Life Sentence. It will end the careen of the Golden Boy of South Africa.

  Oscar Pistorious was a nation's hero. He was nick named Blade Runner or Blade Gunner after the incident. The whole community loved him, the world liked him. He was a history maker in the world of sports. Records can be broken but the firsts always remain firsts, no one can overcome that. He was supposed to be an example, a role model to the whole world. Not only to the disabled but even to the able-bodied he was an example.Pistorious's action had taught everyone to respect the disabled and for the disabled the message was to dream and to work for that dream. But the incident which occurred recently has sent a shochwave to the community. The sports community is in real disbelief. The South African and it's generations to come had a hero. Now they have someone... (No on Knows what? )
  Actions like the ones of Pistorious if done by someone famous can harm the society. Bad examples will be taken and ultimately it will effect the society. The society already has enough bad boys. It needs good examples, decent examples and the celebrities, whether movie stars or Paralympian stars should feel responsible for what they do. Each and every action of these people become an example for the society.

The Rouge Democracy

  Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those that have been tried (Winston Churchill). Democracy is the most destructive form of governments the civilization has offered. Democratic governments are the reason why rich get richer and poor stay poor.
  Democracy and Democrats are considered to be the most corrupt in the society. The system of Democracy is like a contract between the voters and the representatives. If any service, like the cable guy or a cleaner doesn't do their work you can terminate the contract. But in the case of Democracy the representative is voted to protect your interests. Though the contract is present the politician if not working as per the interest of it's voters the contract cannot be terminated. This is the problem why Democratic governments have no stop at what they do. The voter can not do any thing, because he is the reason because of which that fraud person is sitting on that chair.
  Democracy is the reason why organized crimes came into being. Big criminal activities depend on the authorities, and they are thriving today due to the free pass. Even freedom today has no freedom. The government claims to give us freedom but in return they give us more problems to worry. For example, politicians and their campaigns are fueled by huge corporates. Once elected these corporations can bend the laws to suck up the working class to an extent of modern day slavery. There is no going out of it. You are given no sort of freedom.

  It is said "with absolute power comes absolute corruption". This statement defines the true horror of what happens today in Democratic countries. Though other systems are bad but this system is a continuous, never ending chain of corruption. Each government comes with a mindset of the amount of corruption they need to feed their mouths. Due to that the corruption chain will never stop in Democracy.

  Democracy has gone rogue. The level of corruption needs to stop! It is destroying our community to the extent of being un-repairable. The damage will be very bad if necessary steps are not taken quickly. Corruption needs to be wiped from it's very core. The removal of such a disease is our responsibility. Democracy was our medicine for protection of freedom and now we need to cure the society from this lethal pandemic. The state does not command us! We command the state! We have rights and we are it's building blocks.

Islamic Laws: Shariah's Way of Penalty

  Islamic laws are a set of laws which by today's society are considered to be strict. Islamic laws are considered ruthless and impossible to apply by the western societies. Though many Muslim countries still practise Islamic laws.
 Islamic laws or Shariah is a set of laws or constitution which are set by the Holy Prophet P.B.U.H himself. It is a constitution of Islam, a constitution which allows the smooth practise of Islam possible. The misconception of some of it's laws has led to a negative view of it in the western society. Amongst the societies the decapitation and cutting of hands is considered to be an ill-practise. Practises like these are considered to be against Human Rights.

  Let's go back to the period of the Holy Prophet P.B.U.H, the time when these laws were first applied. The penalty for fornication in those times was very harsh. The guilty was punished in the bazaar. The guilty were punished in front of the public and in case of fornication by a married man, he was thrown stones at, public was allowed to participate in such activities.
  The main reason for such sort of public humiliation and punishment between the crowd was a very important factor. On seeing someone being punished so harshly no one would even dare to do any sort of crime. Each crime if proven was punishable. Due to this kind of practise, the crime rate in the society was virtually non-existent. Very few, almost next to non was the crime rate.
  The misunderstanding today about these practises is very common.Practise of Islamic Laws can create a drastic drop in the crime-rate of any society of the world. Islamic Laws are not to end humans but to save humanity. Because crimes create disturbance in the honest and honourable livelihood of the community, and the world at large. I would like to also remind my readers that radical Islamists like Tehrik-e-Taliban or Al-Qaeda are not what Islam is about.

Society: Taking up arms

  What has become of our society? No sense of security. No sense of freedom. Men are not safe from thugs and gangsters. Businesses are not safe from Mafia's and greedy or corrupt politicians. Women are not safe from men. The chain goes on. The rule of the jungle has overruled in the land of the educated and sophisticated Human Beings. The cycle of the prey and the predator exists in our society as well.
