Wake Up, We Are Already At War

   Posted by: SAWJ   in Pakistan, Political, Reflections, Society, World

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 [...]

   Posted by: SAWJ   in Ali(A.S.), General Knowledge, Hasan(A.S.), History, Husain(A.S), Martyrs Of Karbala(A.S.), Muhammad(S.A.W.W.), Reflections, Religious

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 [...]

Thank you Musharraf!

   Posted by: SAWJ   in Me, Pakistan, Political, Rants, Reflections

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 [...]

Pakistan: 61st Independence Day, and the Future

   Posted by: SAWJ   in Pakistan, Political, Rants, Reflections, Society, World

The 14th day of August is upon us. Sitting at my desk, typing on my computer I can hear the occasional silencer-less motorcycles whizzing by on the main road and the sounds of the not-so-distant firecrackers exploding in the night sky. I’m happy. Today, Pakistan celebrates it’s 61st birthday. Happy Independence Day to all! But I’m also [...]
