Editorial
Long live Gaza! The last month has been so eventful that I really dont know where to begin from or how to end this little piece called edit for December. Amid all the darkness of wanton wars, fascist funerals and hurried hangings , I think ,I will choose the easiest subject to hammer upon. The heart crushing Gaza massacre may not come as a surprise to many , but shocking, is the nonchalance with which the world has accepted this truce after the murder of more or around one hundred and fifty Palestinians. Israel can never call this murder, a defence of its land; as this land belongs to Palestine, Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential voices on this issue, tells us . The murder at Gaza is best described by Tom Plastow, Gaza is about 25 miles long and 5 miles wide .Its population is 1.6million people, and nearly half of those are children. Their food water and energy supply are all controlled by Israel. This is not a war. This is shooting fish in a barrel. The slaughter of innocent Palestinians is heinous enough but more monstrous is the silence of the world and our so called Muslim leaders. It is sinister. But another powerful voice of Uri Avnery, comforts, A draw between tiny Gaza and powerful Israel means victory for Gaza. Long live Gaza! Berating Israel comes easier to me, than say near home, where people are arrested for Face book posts and for clicking the like button , and where our free media chokes us with its tiring tirades about natural deaths and unnatural corruptions. I love Malcolm X, when he expounds something like this, If you are not careful the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. Fortunate was Malcolm with the big X, that he didnt live in our times of 24 hour news television and more fortunate as he didnt have to put up with the likes of Arnab Goswamis ! [Last I heard Arnab was being nominated for Anchor of the Year Award, for keeping mum for one long second! ] Our media too makes it harder for us to tell fact from fiction and we are left helpless plus hopeless, when from fiction it turns to sheer propaganda. The distortion by media is so horrendous that recently some students told Glasgow university researchers that they believed that Palestinians are the very illegal colonizers of their own land! But empty protests and Facebook updates for Palestine [ or for that matter any other cause ]would not yield much.The Oxpal Project ,[for more info on it please visit, http:// www.medicineafrica.com/node/23] started by an Oxford student ,utilizes its talents to provide quality medical training to the Palestinians. They do this most noble work through online training and a yearly on -ground course in Palestine. What a wonderful way to protest! If you really wish to help a cause, contribute through your work, work for extra hours or save money on those extra luxurious Samsungs and apps , and pay for the food or education of the oppressed. This should be how we should protest. Before signing off, I need to tell you this. We must remember there may be many defeats but WE are not defeated. Peace upon you. Ms.Asma Anjum Khan
Letter to Editor
Dear Editors, I am a member of Biharanjuman and an irregular reader of BAKHABAR. I praise the team of BAKHABAR for their efforts and make DUA from Allah to reward you in both world, aameen! On page- 3 of BAKHABAR, edition, Nov 2012, There are 7 suggestions- Donts after a meal; what are sources for these suggestions. I feel being a science student, one should always quote/cite the source, it not only makes the article, but broadly magazine also more authentic and acceptable. If the suggestions come from citation sources, readers also can inform/share with another person, increases the reward for all of us. PS: on few pages, I find two words collapsed together, no space between them. For an example, on page 2, under Myth title; one paragraph, "So it is illogical to say Vegetarian food makes a person calm andmeat does otherwise". Please forgive me if it hurts you. Regards, Jamil

Muhammad Tariq Ghazi, based in Ottawa, Canada, is a veteran journalist and historian. He has been editor of several Urdu and English newspapers and journals published from India and Saudi Arabia. He is author of 'The Cartoons Cry', a book on the blasphemous Danish cartoons. He can be contacted at tariqghazi04@yahoo.ca Asma Bibi, No. We should not praise anyone this profusely. In Tasawwuf, great Sufya oppose, rather abhor, such practices. Praise Allah. He deserves all praise so much that He opens His Book with His own praise. That is how He teaches us mortals to extol the Eternal. Now why Sufya dislike such practice is a point to ponder. Have you ever thought about it? Perhaps not. So let us go on a backward time-lapse journey. You know who was Namrud, or Firawn, and the like. They were ordinary men like us, but then we are told that they claimed to be gods. Why? Has it ever occurred to you why did they make such unintelligent declaration, demanding people to worship them? Lets try to find an answer. Those men must have done something significant for their people. Something that ordinary people might not think of. So the people must have started praising them praising day and night, praising in their presence, in their absence, in the company of others. Ultimately such profuse praise made them believe they were not only superior but exercised supernatural power. Hence arrogance. Hence self-deification. Hence condemnation of undue praise of human beings by true Sufya, whose objective is nothing but to constantly reminding The Self of its real worth, rather worthlessness, in the vast immeasurable Universe. To appreciate its vastness, look at our Sun. And then know that here are suns as big as millions of our whole Solar Systems, which is nothing more than a hint of a pin-point on a football. Now think of the weight and value of humans in a smallish planet called Earth that is as big as a green-pea if the Solar System is reduced on scale with The Sun as large as an orange! Here I am not minimizing the status of Man Adam and Eve and their progeny. They are praised by Allah, but we must also know ourselves. Now, if Earth is just a green-pea, think about the more than six billionstrong humanity, and about just one man, me, lost namelessly in those more than six billion humans! Know thyself. That you can do by knowing your Self, realizing your talent: divine gifts of intelligence, understanding, wisdom, thought, expression that have been given to you by your Creator. Whether you know your Self or not is decided by your work, your contribution to society, to collective human knowledge and wisdom and heritage regardless of someone acknowledging it or just ignoring it. If you are satisfied, rest assured you have recognized your Self. That is your reward. And it is not a mean reward. Muhammad Tariq Ghazi <tariqghazi04@yahoo.ca> Ottawa, Canada Tuesday 30 October 2012

In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Vegetable Hawkers left their carts unattended during Esha (Night) prayer time, without any fear of Theft or Robbery. There are various reasons for this, one of these reasons is; majority of them are God-fearing (probably minority are not). And Saudi Law is strict against Robbery and Theft if criminal is trialed. With the implementation of least part of Shariah law, even people who do menial jobs have security and peace; imagine what kind of peace and security we get with the implementation of Shariah Law across the globe.

Its really strange to share this and this thought makes my faith stronger in ALLAH, that how ALLAH sets up plans though we go through hard-ships in life. 9 years ago, after doing my Engineering entrance exam, my course material was left at home, so I thought of selling it and getting some vegetable oil home (as w e w er e n o t financially that sound). So I told one of my friends that I want to sell my Physics and Chemistry course material; he then had me met a person who wanted to buy those books for his sisters Medical entrance examination. However, I sold it for 50 Rs/- and purchased some edible oil and took it home. Today, I came to know that the sister of that person, who took those books, is MY WIFE who just used those books as a reference course material besides actual syllabus. We dont know how life takes turns and how best of the best plans ALLAH makes for you.
The atrocities of people of Israel from the day-1 itself have surpassed all other atrocities. That is the reason, soon after Jesus arrival, even non-living things like Rocks and Trees will speak out to get rid of Israelites; and the Earth shall seek purity with their extinction. Killing in the name of self-defense is fun to them. For them, everyone who is a Gentile is ought to be killed. They troubled Moses, wanted to crucify Jesus (but ALLAH took him up alive), fought many Apostles of ALLAH and betrayed Mohammed (peace be upon him) many times. And that is the major reason they are referred as Maghdhoob Alaihim (those who earned Anger of God). My words may seem Racist, but I am compelled to speak against those Racists who feel killing is Virtue.
Human Rights Groups and Organizations always raise their voice once the game is over; I remember old Hindi movies where the Police would arrive at the end. If Human Rights Groups really care for lives of i n n o c e n t people, then they can urge t h o s e Governments who in frin ge the basic Human Rights Laws. However, they don't do it when the murder takes place. But, it's always seen they come into picture for formality sake, once the butchering, murder and massacre like that of Iraqis, Burmese and Palestinians is over completely.

We have known some wonderful people in Madina, who sold their houses, closed their well-established businesses and left everything in their home countries, simply to settle down with their families in the blessed city of Madina. What a great sacrifice it is!! By ALLAH, when we see them now, they are the most happiest, blessed and content people living on earth who have no comparis o n . Madina is m o s t blessed, i t s climate is blessed, its people a r e blessed. Because the ultimate man on planet 'Prophet MOHAMMED (peace be upon him)' lived here.

A person next to my door never comes to Masjid for praying though Masjids in Saudi Arabia are easily at stone throw-away distance, and sleeps late in the morning without praying even Fajr (Dawn) prayers every day. Despite repeatedly telling he never pays heed. But, I saw him today going to office around 6:30 am, without doing Fajr prayers; upon asking of why he was going so early to office, he s aid his employer would deduct salary for late attendance in office. A person gets disturbed if his salary gets deducted for coming late and rushes to office to reach in time, come what may. But he never gets disturbed if a Salah (Prayer) is missed; he never thanks ALLAH who feeds him, gives him clothing, takes care of him, and helps him through thick and thin. Indeed, how ungrateful is Man.
When most people know you and recognize you, honor and respect you, an edifice of your persona is built within yourself. But at times, when other people dont recognize you or ignore you or talk to you in a way to keep you at a bay, your persona is hurt and you feel disdained. Many times, you even feel disrespected performing low-profile work thinking that can muddle your personality. However, this is a blessing in disguise, which makes you balanced, humble and instills humility; moreover it helps you crush your Ego, which may lead to haughty attitude in future possibly. 2nd Caliph Omar Ibn Khataab (RA) was attending a meeting with some delegates who came to see him; he being Khalifah stood up and helped himself to get some water from Pot, when asked he said this is how we can crush our Ego which slightly creeps in. Today most of the problems arise due to Ego-issues which can be solved by being humble and soft-natured.
We spend almost 20-25 years in academic studies to enjoy the coming 25-30 years luxuriously; however the late working hours, work-pressure, over-time work, 9-10 hours a day, all to make the remaining days of life independent and hassle-free. Finally, when a person reaches 60 or 70, his last abode will be grave. When we spend almost 80-90% of life to make 10% of our life hassle-free, and most of us even think that well become pious and good once we reach that 10% part of our life. Why not recognize its value now? Remember death keeps no calendar; why not spend the whole 60 or 70 years in the remembrance and obedience of ALLAH along with w o r l d l y responsibilities to enjoy the ever-lasting hassle-free life in Here-after?

In last issue I have put a write-up about Bidt. Readers may have different opinion on articles but if the opinion is based on knowledge, both are beneficial of it. However, job of Dayi is not to heed towards public reaction but he has to continue conveying message of Allah knowledgably, wisely and professionally. Now we are resuming our account on Houd-e-Kauther. Every prophet will have his own Houd but Kauther will have its own distinction as the nation of the prophet (S) has its own plus-point. Our prophet (S) will be first to be there to welcome his nation. He will be in the middle. His nation will drink it as much as they can. It is said that its length will be from Abla (Israel) or Amman (Jordan) to Aden or Sana (Yemen), and its width from Abla to Al-Juhfa (KSA-Miqat of AhleSham). From this some have perceived that the Red Sea may be converted into Houd-e-Kauther (Tahfeem-ul-Quran). Our prophet (S) had seen this Houd during his Meraj journey. Concerning its water, there are several reporting. Its water is whiter than milk, sweeter than honey and more fragrant than Mushk. The believers will be saturated with its water in so much so that they will never be thirsty, and the one who is deprived of it will never be saturated. Here are some more reporting about Houd-e-Kauther The Prophet (s) said: Do you know what the Kauther is? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (S) said: It is a river which my Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, has promised me, and there is an abundance of good in it. My people would come to it on the Day of Resurrection and its cups would be equal to the number of stars. A servant would be turned away from (among the people gathered there). Upon this I would say: My Lord, he is one of my people, and He (the Lord) would say: You do not know what he had innovated new things (in Islam) after you. (Muslim Shariff) The Prophet (S) said: The Kauther is a river which has been given to your prophet on the banks of which there are (tents of) hollow pearls and its utensils are as numerous as the stars (Bukhari Shariff). Addressing an assembly of the Ansar, the Prophet (s) once said: After me you will meet with selfishness and nepotism, endure it patiently until you meet me at the Fountain (Bukhari Shariff) It is said that the water supplied to fill Houd-e-Kauther is from the river in paradise named Al-Kauther. So there are three things: Abundant good, Tank and River, all are called as Al-Kauther. (Fath Al-Bari). to be continued, Allah willing.

The world must follow Prophet Muhammad to achieve success and salvation! . By MuQeet
Ever since the release of the latest dirty video on our Prophet (PBUH), I was thinking to write on the historical reason behind mockery and the hate campaign. The question why Islam and its Prophet is always under attack by some groups of people has just one word answer: Jealousy! Read on.. The Jews and Christians were already informed by their respective Prophets Moses and Jesus (PBUT) about the coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the need to obey and follow him. The Old Testament is old and outdated and the New Testament is no more new. Now, the world has to follow the Last and Final Testament, that is the Quran. This is the only way and there cant be any other alternative to success. Arrogance and prejudice have to be shed and things must be seen clearly. Our Creators Mercy is and will be upon those who are conscious of Him. And the sign that a person is conscious of his Lord is his believing in the Last Revelation and thereby following the guidance accordingly. This is the sum and substance of verses preceding verse 157 of Chapter 7 of Quran. Allah then immaculately and eloquently continues in verse 157 declaring the status as well as the role of His Last and Final Messenger, the unlettered Prophet. In addition to this, the responsibility of the followers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is also clearly mentioned there. Jews used to call non-Jews as Ummi, the Gentiles, and they were considering themselves to be above everyone, an arrogance still found among them! Otherwise there is no reason why Israel defies everything and takes even the United Nations as a garbage bin!! In verse (7:157), Allah uses the same word Ummi to refer to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and by way of responding to Jewish arrogance warns them clearly that even you, O Jews, have no other option but to follow this man, who is unlettered! If you are sincere in your claim of your love to your Prophet Moses (PBUH), then follow this unlettered Prophet (PBUH)! You were informed about his coming and you were anxious to know about him. Now that he has come, dont change your colour. Accept the reality and follow the way shown by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Likewise, Christians have been told that if at all you respect your Prophet Jesus (PBUH) then there is no choice left for you now but to accept Muhammad as your leader as you were well informed about his coming by your own Prophet Jesus. So now, Jesus is not the savior, Muhammad is! (PBUH). And what this unlettered Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us? Let us understand one by one. 1. He commands them al Maroof. Al Maroof in Arabic means: a) recognised norms, b) established principles, c) goodness, virtues, actions or deeds the goodness of which is established by accepted norms. This ayah clearly indicates and declares that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) DID NOT preach, practice or propagate anything absurd, illogical, irrational, uncivilized nor did he call people towards cranky principles! Islam, therefore, is based and built upon the principles of civilized behaviour. 2. and he forbids them al Munkar. Al Munkar in Arabic means: 1. False, untrue, blameworthy 2. Wickedness, abomination 3. wrong doings, wrongs (in contrast to al maroof). This tells us that Prophet Muhammad sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wasallam DID NOT preach, practice or propagate anything that is false, untrue, blameworthy, wicked, abominable or wrong. By calling people towards al Maroof and stopping them from doing al Munkar, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), not only set the standard of his mission but also made it clear to the people of the world that Islam is a natural way to adopt by any human being who cares to imbibe civilized patterns in his thought and actions, those that are accepted as recognizable and civilized norms at any point in history. This, in other words, means that Islam is a way of life, acceptable at all times, at all places and by all people who care for the accepted norms and hate to commit wrong and evil. 3. and he permits them as lawful the Tayyibaat. In Arabic, Tayyibaat means: a) good, clean, fair, wholesome b) chaste, pure c) agreeable, pleasant. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) allowed his followers all that is good, clean, fair, wholesome, chaste, pleasant and agreeable. The halal things in Islam are nothing but Tayyibaat, pure and wholesome! 4. and he prohibits them from what is bad (and impure). In Arabic, khabaaith comes from kh-ba-th which means impurities, to be impure, to be wicked, to be bad, to be corrupt, to be vicious, to be nauseated; bad deeds, crimes, sins, evil, adultery; obscenities, abominations, sins, evil deeds. In the Civil as well as Criminal Laws of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), all things wicked, bad, corrupt, vicious, criminal, evil, impure, obscene are considered haram or prohibited. 5. He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. Isr in Arabic means load, burden. Islam is a natural and easy way of life. It makes matters simple and reasonable. It is devoid of illogical and irrational claims and sanctions. Islam frees people from superstitious restrictions and regulations imposed by both priests and the common people. Likewise, this Messenger makes their lives free from the fetters with which Jews and Christians themselves had bound their lives. Islam is the greatest liberating force on earth! Allah, then, continues in this verse and spells out the responsibilities of the Muslim Community: After believing in Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the Last and Final Messenger of Allah to humanity, Muslims must: 1. Honour him: We need to obey, respect and honour the Prophet of Islam. There is no better role model than him.We need to send salat and salam, greetings and salutations, upon our Prophet (PBUH). Defending him against mockery and insults is also one way of honouring the Prophet (peace be upon him). 2. Help him:Presenting the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the people of the world dawah is one way of helping him. He is the Last Prophet of Allah. No Prophet is going to come after him. So we, the followers, must take his message to those who are unaware. We need to convey our Masters message. In this way, we will be helping our Prophet (peace be upon him) to spread his message, far and wide. 3. Follow the light which is sent down with him: I love the word Maa used in this ayah. Allah is not telling us that He has sent the light to him. The light has been sent With Him! The Prophet of Islam came to this world with the light. The the light of Al Quran Al Kareem and the Sunnah an Nabawiyyah. The Enlightenment that has comes to us with the Prophet must be followed in letter and spirit. Then comes the last word: it is they who will prosper! Subhanallah! Prosperity and salvation lies in following the Islam of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There is no other alternative to success and salvation. Follow Islam, achieve success. The choice is yours!

Why Bal Thackerays death should be a moment of sadness and reflection for Muslims
By Jahanzeb Mashhadi, Jahanzeb.mashhadi@gmail.com +971557226803 (M), +971 4 3682843 (L)
I am extremely sad as a Muslim to hear about Bal Thackreys death, or as the media and the entire world likes to call him Bala Saheb Thackrey. Rarely is the name of even a prime minister or head of state taken with such reverence not just by his own party members and faithful but also by the media. Even a prime minister or president simply tends to get a respectful Mr or a Mrs as the case may be. But then fear is a powerful weapon. However coming back to my confession of being sad about the demise of Thackrey. There are only three states of reaction to any event; you can be sad about something, be happy or remain indifferent to it. Like I said I am not happy because there is nothing to be elated about. And indifferent you cannot afford to be to Thackrey or the RSS, especially not as a Muslim, a community for which he had a special hatred over & above Bihari migrants, Gujratis, Tamils or any person or community that he simply chose not to like. If you are a Bihari Muslim then you would of course be likely to be bashed up twice by Bal Thackreys Sena; once for your faith and once for your origins. The only logical reaction then is sadness, which I hope does not turn into horror & despair in the immediate future. Consider the facts before you send out congratulatory messages. A man who single handedly held a city to siege for 50 years, a man who openly challenged the authorities, the law and order and constitution of India for 5 decades and led perhaps the most vitriolic political institution in India to new heights of infamy and arson, finally died a peaceful death at the ripe old age of 86, in the peace and sanctity of his own home, an old man, surrounded by his family and friends. I just want to focus on some of the immediate reactions to his death for to try and comment on his entire life would simply take up too much time and energy and take away from the point I want to make with the article. There have been many a comment on how the city has remained largely peaceful in the wake of his death. The Mumbai police have quite unashamedly put out a bulletin saying that residents should only venture out if there is an emergency. Even in death the man continues to hold the city to ransom as he did his entire life. And the police as always instead of taking the bull by the horn and ensuring that the common man and the citizen of India gets to lead a normal life which he/she is entitled to responds by imposing a de-facto curfew. One has to ask people praising the situation why should the city not remain peaceful if a glorified political goon dies a natural death essentially due to old age peacefully at his home? And why should we be thankful to the Shiv Sena for not beating up everybody in sight just because their beloved leader is dead? And why in heavens name should the police instead of ensuring normalcy instead be asking citizens to stay home. Should it not perhaps ask the Shiv Sena to stay home since it is from them that the threat of violence is expected? But then the Mumbai police have had a long history of taking the wrong side when it comes to questions of law & order. There are messages pouring in lauding the man. He is being called a great man, a visionary, a straight forward man, a man of the people, and perhaps quite amazingly also a patriot and a deshbhakt. These messages are to be expected from the BJP or the Shiv Sena as they prescribe to his ideology, and to the Shiv Sainiks he was certainly a great man since he gave political stance and recognition in mainstream politics (albeit at a local or regional level only) to an essentially fascist organization. Political rivals like the congress and political figure heads are led by compulsions of their profession to express grief and condolences to his family. But for anybody else even for political etiquettes to praise the man and the life he led; I feel is a travesty of monumental proportions. Congress being the chief architects of the rise of the Sena of course shares a special bond with Thackrey, which it is nowadays quick to deny in order to preserve the charade of secularism and the compulsions of its adopted political ideology. The far more worrying fact though is the fact that a spontaneous outpouring of grief is being heard from fields as diverse as cinema, art, sports & music with people like Lata Mangeshkar, Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachhan all hastily getting in their comments. These names are icons in their respective fields and for them to openly associate with the man and with the loss essentially of the RSS & his immediate family I feel is a dangerous indication. It is certainly no loss of the nation apart from perhaps the free holidays which used to be on offer because of the frequent disruptions to normal life as a result of RSS goons openly rioting on the streets of Mumbai. Bear in mind also that these are the very people and the fraternities that Bal Thackery and his goons terrorized all his life and no doubt will continue to do so in the near future. People like Amitabh & Sachin are brand ambassadors for their respective professions and a comment by them in some ways reflects a comment by the entire community which they represent & serve. The reactions are worrying proof of the acceptance of essentially a sectarian man who leaves behind a legacy of violence, hatred and divisive politics and confirm the grip that Thackrey had not just on the political but also social and cultural life of Mumbai, a hold that the RSS is not likely to relinquish, simply because the man at the helm is now gone. It is significant that the same people made no comment when India-Pakistan matches were disrupted by the Shiv Sainiks, or when M.F.Husseins gallery destroyed and a great artist forced to live out his life in exile. Hussein if you remember was never able to return to Mumbai or India and died in London a sad and unhappy man. One could argue that Hussain had no business painting nude pictures of goddesses but then the RSS had no business of telling him to leave India and forcing him to live in exile or of burning down an art gallery. This silence either means that the cultural diaspora firmly believed in the righteousness of the man and his actions or was and is too afraid to speak ill of the man even when one of their own is targeted. The fear it seems prevails when the man himself is no more. In either case the conclusion is more than troubling. He is also being praised as a man who was candid, spoke from the heart and did not mince his words. All admirable qualities except for the fact that although he did possess the said qualities he chose to exhibit this candor only when carrying out vitriolic assaults on his chosen adversaries or in instigating RSS cadres to new levels of barbarism and violence, and in instigating the worst communal riots in the history of this country consistently for more than 5 decades. In an interview by Rajdep Sar Desai after the communal riots in Mumbai he was asked to react to people say you had a hand in Mumbai riots. Bal Tahckrey responded by saying haanth kya mera to pair bhi hai, main kehta hun, jo karna hai kar lo (I even have a hand and a foot in it, I am openly admitting, do what you can do!). For a man who preferred to call himself a political cartoonist rather than a politician, he was singularly bereft of humor in his response to critics and criticism. He described Hitler as an artist, extolled dictatorship, and went on record saying that he was against democracy, preferred dictatorship and that he would clean up Kashmir in a day if he were the Prime Minister. If this is straight from the heart and candor, then I fear for an India where more people will adopt this candor and make a mockery of the judicial system and democracy. He has been indicted by the Sri Krishna commission in the Mumbai riots report but has not spent a day in jail for any of the allegations leveled against him. The numerous speeches available freely on You tube are enough evidence of the mans character , but let alone considering a ban on the RSS not even a Gag order not allowing him to publicly instigate violence was ever forced on him. This is remarkable feat for a man who routinely advocated planting bombs in Muslim neighborhoods to protect the nation and advocated the use of Hindu suicide bombers; especially since he had the will, the resources and a perfectly willing force of religious zealots capable of following through on such ambitions.

Points to Ponder
#1.Hadrat Fatima and Hadrat Ali had the same Wali (guardian) i.e. the Prophet (SAW). Even the home in which Hadrat Fatima and Hadrat Ali embarked upon their marital life was gifted to them by an Ansari sahabi, Hadrat Harith bin Numan. #2. The Mahr (The money acquired by Hadrat Ali after selling his shield) was used by the Prophet (SAW) to:1. Get the bride ready for the marriage 2. To buy essential household items Note:-The Prophet (SAW) did not spend anything on his daughters marriage. The money was arranged by Hadrat Ali, the groom. Therefore it was Hadrat Ali (to be husband) who managed the fiscal affairs and not Hadrat Fatimas father (The Prophet SAW). #3.The Resonance and Intellect of the Prophet (SAW) The Prophet (SAW) knew that when Hadrat Fatima would embark on her marital life, she would need certain necessities for day to day purpose Hadrat Ali was not having those items. The Prophet (SAW) knew that for drawing water from the well she would need a pot, so he gave her a water bag. Similarly, the Prophet (SAW) knew that for grinding wheat she would need a grinding stone. For sleeping she would need a bed and a pillow. Her dowry (water bag, grinding stone, bed and pillow) was in complete accordance and compliance only to her day to day needs. One Final statement which would deal a decisive blow to the farcical assertions of the dowry mongers and expose the fallacy of their argument Islamic history records no instance pertaining to the Prophet (SAW) giving dowry to his other three daughters, Hadrat Ruqqayah and Hadrat Umm Kulsum. Both were married to Hadrat Uthman bin Affan (he holds the distinction of being the only man to marry two daughters of a prophet. That is the reason that Hadrat Uthman is honored with the title Zun Noorayn- the one with two lights*). The Reason: Simple, explicit and concise. Hadrat Uthman was a wealthy merchant. Owing to his richness and generous nature he was also known as Uthman Ghani. Hadrat Uthmans home was cushioned with every facility requisite for daily life. The Prophet (SAW) did not give anything (in dowry or as a bridal gift) to his other two daughters. People who allege that the Prophet (SAW) initiated the dowry system are nothing but defaming the Prophet (SAW) and his noble son in law, Hadrat Ali ibn Abi Talib, whose life is a tale of sacrifices espoused for the cause of Islam. Indeed the Prophet (SAW) said: Whoever defames Ali, defames me. So, the next time you hear any of these dowry mongers using the prophetic name to satisfy their material lust, please give a reply to them with a suitable rejoinder which would expose the incongruity and discrepancy in their claim. And Allah knows best and He is the Source of all inspiration *It would be pertinent to note that the first daughter was married to him and when she died the second was also married to him.

Dawah in Canada
Syed Asif Ali Shah (Servant of Allah, in the Service of Islam.)
I came to Canada in the year 2010 for my higher studies after the completion of my Engineering degree in Computer Sciences Alhumdulillah with one of the main intensions of doing dawah Alhumdulillah. Western World was a new world for me with different people from all sorts of backgrounds , cultures , faiths , languages, colors and all , it is a land of immigrants which actually gives you more opportunities of doing dawah or in other words it is a land which needs more dawah . I was inspired and motivated for Islamic dawah by Dr. Zakir Naik Alhumdulilllah. I have been into the field of Dawah for the past 7-8 yrs now Alhumdulullah and delivering public talks is into my blood by now Alhumdulillah , but soon after coming to Canada I was in a state of confusion as to how should I establish myself here for Dawah ? And one thing was really pinching me that I need to start it right from the scratch and establish myself here for Islamic Dawah. The days were just passing by right in front of me and my tension and worry was increasing as I am a public speaker and am not getting any opportunities to have public talks here though I was doing dawah on one to one basis but that wasnt satisfying me and I wasnt able to satisfy myself with that. I used to call to my teachers and seniors in dawah and cry over the phone presenting my worries towards dawah and tell them that I fell as if my hands and legs are been chopped off and I am left all alone in a desert and I am not able to do anything despite the fact that I want to do everything Allah hu mustaan. And one night with this worry and fikar in my mind I went out for dinner in a restaurant and surprisingly the owner of the restaurant was having a keen eye on me of which I was completely unaware he came to my table and said are you br. Asif ? , I looked to my side and said yes , he then sat with me suddenly and started talking to me saying I have seen you on YouTube and read your status always on facebook , have read your articles Alhumdulillah and this day was the start of my dawah carrier in Canada Alhumdulillah. Then this brother took me and introduced me with other people and we went to universities and met few other people who were working in the field of Dawah and I was very well introduced to them Alhumdulillah. But even till this point I wasnt delivering pubic talks and I was still waiting for that time very patiently. then came the time for the Journey of Faiths conference which is held in Canada every year and in that conference by the mercy of Allah I with the other brothers who were working with me in the field of dawah formed and organized a dawah department in the Journey of Faiths conference and this conference never had any dawah department before this and this was its first time Alhumdulillah. I was working in the dawah department of the Conference and was mentoring the dawah team members Alhumdullillah and was responsible to handle the table talks with the non Muslims who come to visit the conference Alhumdulillah. This dawah department and my team brought phenomenon success during the table talks with 7 sahadas in two days Alhumdulilillah the lengthiest table talk I had was with a black Christian brother which continued for no less than 7-8 hrs Alhumdulillah which was possible only with the help of Allah Alhumdulillah. This journey of faith conference opened my gates to public talks in Canada Alhumdulillah as my dawah team in the conference had one of the best and top students of Dr. Farhat Hashmi too Alhumudlillah and after the conference this student of Dr. Farhat organized straight two public talks of mine Alhumdulillah , out of which one was to be held on the International peace day which is celebrated in Canada . I also spoke to my master and inspiration Dr. Zakir Naik before these two talks of mine and told him about these upcoming lectures and topics of these lectures that were going to be, Rediscovering Peace through Islam and Why is Islam the Fastest growing religion in the West? and also told him about the organizers as I was already introduced to Dr. Farhat Hashmi through her student Alhumdulillah. He gave me lots of duas and asked me to continue with the Islamic dawah Alhumdulillah. After that public talks of mine which was held on the international peace day the audience who were present in the lecture started organizing my lectures in different mosques and Islamic centers. Alhumdulillah Allah has his ways Alhumdulillah. My schedule was going really tuff and tight as I was take care of my studies , my job and now lectures ALhumdulillah but because of this busy schedule I wasnt able to concentrate on my research and preparations of my lectures , but Allah put barakah in my time Alhumdulillah and I used to do my preparations of my lectures in while I am travelling ,I used to do my research , prepare my lectures and everything while travelling because other than this time I never used to have any other spare time Allah hu mustaan , even till today this is how my schedule goes Alhumdulillah and Allah has put lots of barakah in my travelling time Alhumdulillah. I was invited as a guest speaker in Islamic society of North America i.e., ISNA Canada ALhumdulillah invited by shaykh Abdullah Idrees Alhumdulillah where I addressed the audience on the topic Islam and Secularism Tolerance or Intolerance ? Followed by an open Q and A session. The gates to public talks kept on opening Alhumdulillah one after the other Alhumdulillah. Shaykh Imam Nafees twice invited me in Jame Mosque coopers also called as the Islamic propagation centre, where I delivered two lectures on different occasions on the topic, Why do we need Islam in the West ? and second was on the topic , Myth, Misconceptions and Clarifications about Islam ,and after that Shaykh Mohammad Baru organized my public talk in his mosque Ibn Abbas Ahumudlillah where I delivered a lecture on the topic ,Fundamental Beliefs of the Christians , Alhumdulillah I kept of receiving invitations for the public talks and I was accepting all for the sake of Allah as Allah opened and gave me those oppurtunities Alhumdulillah. One of the best and not forgetful experiences was when I was invited for a public talk in a university organized by the MSA (Muslim Student Association) where I told the organizers that I will be speaking on the topic, Introduction to Christ Jesus pbuh in the light of the holy bible and Glorious Quran. I choose this topic as it was a university environment with full of non Muslims audience Alhumdulillah and this lecture had a 90% of non Muslims audience followed by an open Q and A session Alhumdullillah , but after the Q and A session there was some problem created by the Christian audience and I was suddenly taken into security and was taken for interrogations by the security and I was interrogated for some time in a closed room and then asked to have a closed room Q and A sessions with exclusive Christian audiences Alhumdulillah which was one of the most successful events Alhumdulillah recorded in the camera Alhumdulilllah this event boosted the moral of the other Muslim students in the university for Islamic dawah and gave them guts to talk to the non Muslims and give them dawah Alhumdulillah. My recent public talk was in Toronto Islamic Centre where I addressed the audience on the topic, Islams offer to the western world. I am

S o m e members are wondering why we chose the Zoo for the da'wah work. We ask them, why not the Zoo. Zoo is a place which a t t r a c t s tourists from various parts of the world. Wherever there are people, then that's the best place for da'wah. Registration fees for the da'wah field work was Rs. 300, which covered the expenses for T-shirts, breakfast, lunch, commute facilities and 2 bottles of mineral water. Every process was meticulously planned and executed accordingly. We exhausted thousands of pamphlets and hundreds of books; which means thousands have received our literature. Books on oneness of God and the life of Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam, in English, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil were distributed. Individual and group discussions with nonmuslims were also witnessed. The members who participated in the 'Da'wah Net' included about 80 men, 20 boys, 20 women and 20 girls. The little boys and girls of 5th and 6th standard of Al-Basheer International School too were engaged in the da'wah program. In one of the incident, a boy of std 6 gave literatures on Islam to a non-muslim man, and finally he even suggested the man to embrace Islam. What makes me wonder is the daringness and the conviction of the boy who was bold enough to invite a stranger to Islam. It reminded me of the life of Ibraaheem 'alaihissalaam, who as a child was a forerunner towards inviting people to Islam. May Allah make this child blessed in this world and the
The members who participated at the zoo feld work are looking forward for more such events in the future. Inshaallaah a plan is on its way to get into certain areas in the Bangalore city, with the similar field work. We at our da'wah centre generally wait for the visitors to walk in to our premises. But in the field work we get to meet many members. Theres great scope for dawah in the field work. Inshaallah in the coming days we have lots of dawah activity coming up. We need you. Lets make a difference to the world through da'wah. Let our aim be the pleasure of Allah. If you too want to join us, you are most welcome. The people of India are open to hear to our words; but are we ready to open our mouths? The world is thirsty for the truth about their purpose of life on earth. Lets just share the knowledge that has reached us. -Umar Shariff
hereafter. Many people who heard of our preparation towards going to a Da'wah field work to Zoo were inquisitive to know about our safety. They feared repercussions from the mischief makers who might interrupt the field work. They enquired if we have taken the permission from the authorities and such. We didn't find any need to ask the authorities to distribute the literature, as we follow the motto, "everything is permitted, unless forbidden". There's no such law or such that restricts

A much garlanded and battle hardened veteran of Afghan wars, with huge handlebar moustache and sprouting sideburns. Known personally to several of the British officers.
But unfortunately the fact that Bakht Khans attempts had been gaining success went unreported, unrealized at Delhi court due to the absence of a parallel intelligence system like their adversary had. The British had knit an intricate network of spies throughout the city and at the Red Fort. Reports about every single move of the King, the parleys held at the court, the movements of the rebel forces and their strategies planned for the future attacks, reached the British ears without fail. Many prominent and respected people were on their payroll. But sad to say, no such system was in place, at the other end of the battle camp. W. Dalrymple observes sharply, The lack of intelligence reaching the city meant that no one among the rebels realized how successful Bakht Khans tactics were proving [15] They didnt know how fragile the British forces had become and what a tremendous pressure Bakht Khans tactics had put on them. Unfortunately this ignorance about his success was perceived to be his seeming failure and this set his detractors buzzing. Mirza Mughal had nursed a grudge since the General caused his removal from the military affairs. Bakht Khans undiplomatic ways too didnt help. He was ruthless enough to ask the princes to keep away from military and administrative affairs as he believed everyone knew that they were good for nothing fellows. It was but an ugly truth. Bakht Khan informed the king that Prince Khizar and others were stashing away the taxes collected from the city traders and due to this salaries of the army could not be paid. Prince Khizar was asked to return the booty. The commoners were pleased with him while the Mughal princes vowed vengeance. Undoubtedly Bakht Khan was a man of the world but he was not at all, worldly. He frequently failed to decipher his detractors nasty plans and eventually became a victim to their malice. The Neemuch brigade-his force- was well-known for its valor; but the two of its generals Ghaus Khan and General Sidhari Singh [supporter of Mirza Mughal] parted ways, from Bakht Khan, as they couldnt digest the fact that, an officer of the similar rank as theirs should get so much importance from the King. During the battles he was left alone to fend for himself. A most ridiculous charge of his being a British spy also came along. All this put him under great pressure and he had to issue a statement denying all these charges. Whether it was failure to capture the army bastions at Alipur, Manali Bridges and the Ridge and almost all the failures were wrongly attributed to the General. Zafar too now was infected with doubt and the devious designs of his foes resulted in Bakht Khans removal as Governor General by the end of July. A Court of Administration was established to run the affairs of the Mughal Darbar. The General and his Bareilly brigade kept their distance from it but their assaults grew weaker and the tremendous pressure that he was able to put on the British began to diminish. Dalrymple remarks, the end of Bakht Khans military system brought instant relief to the British on the ridge. [16]. It is indeed saddening that such lowly games of selfishness and rivalry did the good General in and ultimately caused the struggle for freedom, a catastrophic damage, giving a boost to the enemy. Richard Barter joyously announced that, And so, when we were scarcely able to stand, the attacks ceased, as if by a dispensation of Providence, and gave our force the repose they so much needed.[17]. The one man who possessed the potential for defeating the enemy was thus, rendered impotent. As no intelligence about the success of the good Generals methods reached the court and Delhites, it led to huge misgivings about his military forays. Resentments, against this good soldier soon began to build up. As mentioned earlier, he was accused of being a British stooge himself. His own colleague from the Neemuch Brigade Sidhari Singh accused him thus. Other former co-workers too were not far
behind. Gauri Shankar [who was himself a British spy] and Talyar Khan, on 20th August, arranged for a Sikh to proclaim that Bakht Khan provides all information about the court happenings to the enemy. But the truth was found out and the witness was rejected for his false claims. The General himself issued a public statement denying this in the presence of Mirza Mughal and other army generals. The ever eternal quintessential factors of jealousy envy and contempt did this great warrior in. Quite perceptibly his disenchantment began to grow. He became more cautious but continued to be at the forefront of the war and the biggest headache for the British. He marched towards Najaf Garh separate from the Neemuch brigade as his own soldiers refused to take orders from him (and resultantly was smashed by their rivals). Like before, the General was unjustly blamed for this fiasco, as well. Nevertheless Bakht Khan still remained defiant. He was unrelenting and rejected Zafars suggestion of opening the gates of Delhi, if the British could not be defeated. He elaborated on some new strategies and it was quickly reported by the spies present at the court to the Gora Sahibs. Needless to add this rendered his plans useless. His failures thus began mounting up. Yet he succeeded in defeating the opponents at the Delhi Gate even in those final hours, and kept a strong vigil at the Ajmeri Gate till the last moments of the war. Despite his failures, more due to the non co-operation of his team than his own faults, what he did achieve was the delay in recapturing of Delhi by the British, as long as he could. The erstwhile Dilli would have been rounded up, quite early in the day, had it not been for the efforts of General Bakht Khan Rohilla. Memorial for British soldiers at Delhi Ridge. No memorial for Indian soldiers though. His military achievements despite the hostilities he faced were amazing; be it capturing three hundreds of British horses taking supplies to their masters, or one of his final determined attacks with his Bareilly and Neemuch troops, which forced the British to make a hasty retreat, from Hindu Raos house. Bakht Khans advance up to the house of Hindu Rao was no mean achievement; it threatened to cut off the British troops from their camp.[18] Had he been supported efficiently by his own people at the time, his success rate would have been much higher. Miyan Muhommad Shafi, in his famous work, Pehli Jang-e-Azadi-Waaqeyaat wa Haqaayeq, blames this sorry state of affairs on the conspiracies hatched against Bakht Khan by the unfortunate and unreasonable Mughal Princes, who conspired against him, unaware of their approaching terrible end. He says, The courtiers created havoc each and every time and put blame on him for everything going wrong, without providing him with any kind of general support. All this and the corruption at the court and among the army rank and noncompliance of the troops, disheartened this most able of the fighters, Bakht Khan and after being relieved from his various significant positions , he got reduced to taking care of his own original regiments alone. This turn of events and colossal difference of opinions, among the different elements at the court, led eventually to the downfall of Delhi, the arrest of Zafar and slaughtering of his sons, not to mention hundreds and thousands of Delhites being butchered and displaced, forever.[19] But in the mayhem of 1857 mutiny what was more tragic perhaps, was the ruin of Shehar e Dilli and its uniquely rich Ganga Jamuni Tehzeeb. It died forever.

Purpose of Education
Mohammad Atiqur Rahman Throughout the lives of young students it has been drilled into their heads that if you get good grades and study hard than youll get into a good college. A good college leads to a good job. Thats how education is perceived, but there is much more to it. The purpose of education is to acknowledge not only ones career but also ones character. It provides one with the ability to make decisions and achieve their goals. It is to develop logic and reason. It should help learners to discriminate the knowledge and ignorance, light and dark, space and time, life and death, illustration and illusion, image and mirage etc. In addition, common values such as punctuality, following rules, cooperation, learning to work and get along together as well as a sense of responsibility are all important factors of education. The combinations of knowledge and skills as well as the common values help young students bloom into adults and become responsible and productive citizens. Many of the problems we face todaycorruption, injustice, oppression, poverty, etc.are man-made, i.e. they are largely traceable, directly or indirectly, to the education system that produced the people who perpetuate the problems. The rulers who sell out to their own selfish agendas and subjugate their people; the bureaucrats who enforce laws based on injustice; the generals who wage war against their own people; the businessmen who exploit and cheat; the journalists who lie, sensationalize, and promote indecencies; they are all educated people, in many cases highly educated people. Their education was meant to prepare them for the roles they are playing in real life. Influenced by the mere materialistic approach, present education system is based on only the career development to produce the workforce for the industry rather than providing good human being for the society. For the peace, prosperity, growth and stability of the society we need an education system which is based on human values. Each and every individual should be taught moral and ethics as a primary and compulsory education and then s/he should be trained for the science and technology, commerce and trade. Without that we are producing lots of doctors, engineers, scientist, entrepreneur, etc. but not good human being. Students who are the future leaders of the society must study the practical social sciences with a complete knowledge of social well beings, social reforms and social systems. I recently came across a very old advertisement for the post of an Imaam for the Grand Mosque of Istanbul at the time of Khilaafat (Khaleefa Sultan Suleyman) during 1520 1566 AD. In those days Imaam used to be a government official ( like an IAS officer or a minister today). The qualifications asked in the advertisement were : - To have mastered the languages of Arabic, Latin and Turkish and Persian. - To have mastered the Qur'an, the Bible and the Torah. - To be a scholar in Shari'ah and Fiqh. - To have mastered physics and mathematics up to teaching standard. - To be a master of chivalry, archery, dueling and the arts of Jihad. - To be of handsome countenance. - To have a strong melodious voice. (Source: Al Ahram newspaper 22nd September 1986, Egypt) Practically, it is impossible to find one such person with this qualification in any part of the world today. You may find a person who has mastered in Physics and Maths but it is highly unlikely that he is master in the Arabic and Quran as well. Even if he is master in Physics, Maths and Quran but it will be almost unrealistic to expect that he is master in Bible, To r a h o r o t h e r scriptures. It is all because we have not made our education system to take care of these educations. There are very few schools in the country that have got good infrastructure and facilities to teach sports along with science & technology but there are no educational institution to teach or master students in various scriptures. In reality, social knowledge, growth, peace and prosperity depends upon the study of scriptures alone. How well are scriptures gone inside the social fabric of society? More we study the scripture better is our understanding on of social responsibilities and development. Scriptures are sent to us by The Creator who has created all human beings (societies) and made an arrangement to teach us all about the society through Prophets (pbut). Only through Him we can achieve true education that can bring peace to an individual and society as a whole. Isaac Newton used to spend more time in study of Bible than science; George Gamow (who gave theory of Big Bang) was a priest and a physicist. Albert Einstein describes his thoughts about God as I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this element or that, in the spectra of this element or that, I want to know His thoughts, and the rest is detail. . In earlier days Astronomy, Biology, physics, Maths etc were studied under Fiqh that is where Muslims became the world leader and they were progressive and advanced.

Invocations
HAAFIZA SIDDIQUI SYED* Of the immeasurable bounties of the Lord, the one that really makes me feel the closest and most beholden are the early winter mornings. Winter has yet not firmly rested its feet in the desert sands of this city but the mere precursor of its arrival fills me with immense gratitude and peace that cannot be put into words. Fortunate enough to have a vantage point of 20 stories the views that fill my heart and mind are the source of my inspiration and meditation. Gazing away from my balcony I watch the city scapes on my left and the ocean on my right ;the pre-winter breeze caressing me and my thoughts, transporting to a realm that gives me a sense of balance, balance between the growth of urbanization and the deep rootedaustere truth of nature. This is the place I return to in moments of chaos and confusion. This humble space that tells me to slow down when I am rushing with life, the same space that pushes me on when I have stopped moving and reaching for my dreams; in cryptic metaphors, it speaks to me. From dawn to the mid-morning light as I witness the city awaking from its slumber, I am amazed at the changing hues and shades the ocean takes, mirroring the sky. I sit and gaze with open eyes and mind and am lifted to a state of tranquility and awakening that is conscious and liberating .I cant gather enough words of gratitude towards the Creator, the One that sends peace and tranquility; The One that paints the world with such artistry, not just for the eye, but for the soul as well. Sometimes it doesnt take books and manuals to reach God, we just need to open our eyes and feel His presence. Its there in the days that turn into nights and the scorching summers that turn into soothing winters, from dusk to dawn, season to season , chaos to order, and from pain to healing ; His propinquity is everywhere, it just has to be felt with a conscious heart. * she is an artist based in Dubai

Secrets of Success
1. Define your goal
The first step is to define your goal. Perhaps you've always dreamt about running a race or learning a new language? Maybe you're determined to seek a promotion or you simply want to shed a few kilos. Consider everything. What would you do if you had more time? What would you like to accomplish in the future? What do you regret about the past? In the words of motivational speaker Les Brown (www.lesbrown.com), "Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life." Whatever you choose, make sure your goal is specific, achievable and tangible. by believing that you already have it."
8. practise visualisation
Take time to imagine that you have achieved your goal. What is it like? How do you feel? Excited? Exuberant? How has your life changed? How does it look, feel or sound? Capture that moment in your head and never lose sight of it. Try to make your vision so clear that you can perceive it with all five senses. The clearer the image in your mind, the easier it is to manifest into reality or in the words of Napoleon Hill, author of Think & Grow Rich (Ballantine Books), "What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve."
5. Instill self-belief
You must believe your goal is achievable; unless you believe you can 100 per cent reach it, you will have no true motivation. Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both right; the power of positive thinking knows no end. According to Carolyn Mitchell, NLP Life Coach and owner of Blue Sky Life Coaching (www.blueskylifecoaching.ae), "Affirmations are an excellent tool to promote self-belief and assure ourselves of positive outcomes. Begin with fast forwarding to the time when you have achieved your goal. Learn what it feels like [in your mind] to experience what the success of achieving your goal means to you. Feel it or see it for yourself. Once you have learned what success feels like, you simply can't 'unlearn' it. By writing, reading and re-experiencing those feelings of success over and over again you are essentially telling yourself what you want

The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.
