Whenever the month of Ramazan comes, Muslims become hyper-sensitive with respect to their religion. It’s as if all their sins would be washed away in a single month. Don’t get me wrong, Ramazan has it’s ‘more than fair’ share of virtues but the hypocritical nature of Muslims disgusts me! A whole year passes by, with [...]
One day a man was traveling on his camel with his possessions and his slave. He stopped at a mosque and went inside to pray, leaving the slave to take care of the goods.
When he was gone, the slave climbed on the camel’s back. When the master returned, the slave declared himself as the master [...]

Prime Minister Gilani spent U.S. $ 1 million to meet Mr. Bush but had no stomach to protest a foreign attack inside his country that killed innocent civilians. The priorities remain limited to a party leader who was killed more than nine months ago. The Prime Minister’s microscopic vision only allows him to see [...]
Whenever the Prophet’s (S.A.W.W.) sorrow was hard on him, he would take Husain in his lap and bring him along to the mosque, to the gathering of Sahaba while crying. His tears falling, he would display to them the infant Husain with the sand of Karbala in his hand and say:
“My nation (Ummah) will kill [...]
One of the most beautiful and deep aspects of the life of Imam Husain (A.S.) is the great and excessive attention that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) showed towards him and his elder brother Imam Hasan (A.S.). The affection of the Prophet (S.A.W.W.) towards Imam Hasan (A.S.) and Imam Husain (A.S.) was so obvious that historians and [...]
I’m disappointed. I’m baffled. I’m worried. I’m depressed. I can’t think clearly.
I don’t understand what’s going to happen to this country now. Musharraf just resigned.
I don’t care what the anti-Musharraf say. I don’t care what the media says. I don’t care that the PTV anchorman started bashing Musharraf just as soon as he heard Musharraf [...]

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — I don’t think I will ever forget what I witnessed as a young man of 17 on an early night of late August 1947 at Bahawal Nagar railway station in the [...]

Life: Ali is bored to death! (Updated 2 days, 13 hours, 43 minutes ago)
I am an Electrical Engineer-turned web developer-dreaming to be a Software Engineer guy living in the largest city of Pakistan, Karachi. I like wasting time on the internet(control your imagination!), watching tv and movies and, if I get time, reading books. I hate broccoli and politicians, specially those who get hair transplants.
