ATHEIST VERSUS LITTLE GIRL: TOPIC `GOD'

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned
to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike
up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total
stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no God,
or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly.

"Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask
you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns
out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"

The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss
God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don't know shit?"

And then she went back to reading her book.

RAMAZAN CAN MAKE WORLD SAFER, PEOPLE GOOD & RESPONSIBLE



JZ’S MOTTO: SERVE HUMANITY IN REALITY
RAMAZAN CAN MAKE WORLD SAFER,    
     PEOPLE GOOD & RESPONSIBLE
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER
TORONTO: Millions of dollars are spent on making the community, society and system good and for their proper maintenance and improvement.  This is done to make the people and country strong, stable and prosperous in all respect.
For this purpose, we need, search for, find, promote and support competent and capable persons of good nature, character, understanding and actions---who are sincere, honest, responsible, committed, dedicated, helpful, loving, caring and so on. They practically serve the people and help them achieve the aims and objectives.      
            Those countries blessed with good people, leadership, society and system are indeed heavens on earth and dreamlands. People feel proud of becoming a part of them. Fortunately Canada and US are one of them and would remain so until they keep the society, system, people and country in really good shape. This indeed is a tremendous blessing of The Almighty God on Canada and all such countries.  
            Promotion, encouragement and support of bad people and wrong policies, evil, crime, cruelty, corruption and conspiracies--- in any shape or form would signal the downfall and destruction.  The bad and corrupt policymakers, rulers, leaders and people are mainly responsible for it. They are the ones who openly denied and challenged the truth and The Almighty God and were punished and destroyed by His anger and wrath. This is what we learn from the holy books and history.  God had to intervene most of the time to help the innocent and good people. Take the examples of Prophets Noah, Lut, Moses and Muhammad (PBUT).  
            Therefore, it is the duty and responsibility of all good leaders, policymakers and influential people, with the support of the common people, to ensure that this does not happen. They must always keep exposing and opposing the bad rulers and people, wrong and harmful policies and actions. Only this way we can protect the good people, society and system.
             Unfortunately, in most Muslim countries we see the people suffering badly and deprived of rights and real freedom. In the name of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH), Islam, Quran, Islamic laws and Muslim Ummah people are exploited, looted and harmed. This is why when opportunity comes they migrate or flee the country to escape the exploitation, corruption and cruelty. This is the result of lack of true leadership, good people, society and system. Unfortunately, this is the reality and fact.
            If Muslims including rulers, policymakers and people understand the real meaning and purpose of Ramazan then this would not happen. This is the duty of religious scholars also but unfortunately most of them are Professional Mullahs and in reality Dajjals (Devils) In Disguise. They are misleading, harming, exploiting and cheating the people. They are extremely powerful and dangerous MAFIA and actively busy in harming the Muslims and bringing bad name to Allah, Islam and Muslim. They are professional criminals and committed enemies of humanity and mankind. They do not allow the good religious scholars and persons to come forward and serve the common people.  Their motive mainly is to build mosques and madrassas, make massive money through the donation boxes and collections and run their business without any check or accountability.  
            Now the Mullah Mafia has become so powerful that they want to run the countries with  strong hold on the system and society. This situation is extremely dangerous for both the people and countries. This is not what Allah, Islam or Sharia teaches and must not be allowed.  
            This is why we must not blindly support any Mullah or religious scholar. The money should not go to wrong people or any MAFIA. It should reach the deserving ones and right people and used for right purpose.
            Mosque or madrassas are very sacred places where people not only go for worship but to become good and responsible as well. They are important pillars of the society and this is why these places should serve as community and social centres in order to educate and train people and create proper understanding and awareness.
            In order to make us good and responsible person, member of the family, community, society and system so that we emerge as good parents, leaders and rulers, The Almighty God has blessed us with Ramazan.  It is a one month refresher or training course for the people.  The training in the shape of fasting is to train us about self-restrain or how to ward off evil. This is what The Almighty tells us in the Holy Quran .The benefits are tremendous and the training based on the principle---Be Wise Revise. Let’s see what’s in the Holy Quran about Ramazan then judge its importance:
Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 183: O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may (learn) self-restraint.―Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali (www.quranexplorer.com).
Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina) : Verse 183: O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil):Translation: Eng-Pickthal.
Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina) :Verse 184: [Observing Saum (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskîn (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, is better for you if only you know.[]
Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin

          Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 184: (Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the prescribed number (should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (with hardship) is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more of his own free-will―it is better for him, and it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali
Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 184: (Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -
Translation : Eng-Pickthal
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185:The month of Ramadân in which was revealed the Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadân i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allâh [i.e. to say Takbîr (Allâhu-Akbar; Allâh is the Most Great) for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.[]: Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185: The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful. Translation : Eng-Pickthal
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185: Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an as a guide to mankind also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spent it in fasting, but if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185: Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an as a guide to mankind also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spent it in fasting, but if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 187: It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of As-Saum (the fasts). They are Lîbas [i.e. body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e. you enjoy the pleasure of living with them - as in Verse 7:189) Tafsir At-Tabarî], for you and you are the same for them. Allâh knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He turned to you (accepted your repentance) and forgave you. So now have sexual relations with them and seek that which Allâh has ordained for you (offspring), and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your Saum (fast) till the nightfall. And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikâf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques. These are the limits (set) by Allâh, so approach them not. Thus does Allâh make clear His Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelations, verses, laws, legal and illegal things Allahs set limits orders.) to mankind that they may become Al- Muttaqun. Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 187: It is made lawful for you to go unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not, but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by Allah, so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to mankind that they may ward off (evil). Translation : Eng-Pickthal
            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 187: Permitted to you on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments. And ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah hath ordained for you and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are limits (set by) Allah; approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His signs to men that they may learn self-restraint. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali
            Sura 3 - Al-E-Imran (Madina):Verse 103: And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves[], and remember Allâh's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islâmic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allâh makes His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided.
Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin.
            Even during the month of Ramazan The Almighty God, Who knows human nature and needs, allows the married people to enjoy the taste and pleasure of sex. This is because sex is the food of soul, good for the body and mind and source of reproduction.  Many couples with extremist and conservative mindset and under the influences of the professional mullahs consider it bad and sin.  The Almighty God is not cruel and loves us very much and cares. Why would He deprive us from this wonderful pleasure, taste, activity and benefit? Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you.  Mullah is after your blood and money. 
Christians, Muslims and Jews all are Believers and blessed with holy books and prophets.  They all belong to the same category and must live and work together to serve humanity in reality.  This is what Sura 3 - Al-E-Imran (Madina):Verse 103 tells us.  It is only a matter of understanding and we need to create proper awareness.  The hatred, confusion and misunderstanding is being created and spread by people with vested interests and nefarious designs. They are the ones who belong to the extremely dangerous mafia and are committed enemies of mankind. We can never expect any good from them. This we must understand.
             How can anyone even think of and call Muslim or any Believer a terrorist or criminal? Why would The Almighty God, Who teaches and preaches self-restraint and how to ward off evil, tell the Believers to become a criminal and terrorist and destroy mankind. This is all propaganda and bullshit. It is only the product of evil, criminal and sick minds. 
            The holy month of Ramazan has been blessed to us so that we keep preparing, training and protecting ourselves, all people, society, system and the country from all such DAJJALS (DEVILS).  This is the essence of Ramazan.        Unfortunately, influenced by the Evil and Illiterate Mullahs, we have made Ramazan a part and parcel of the food and kitchen only. Instead of preparing and training ourselves in the real sense our focus remains mostly on food).The focus on food only kills the purpose of Ramazan and makes the people sick instead of healthy. Let’s understand, implement and observe Ramazan in the real sense. We need to train and prepare ourselves for today and tomorrow. Ramazan is a great blessing meant to make the world safer and better and people good and responsible in the real sense.

IS PAKISTAN IN SAFE HANDS? ASK YOURSELF HONESTLY



JZ’S MOTTO: SERVE HUMANITY IN REALITY
IS PAKISTAN IN SAFE HANDS?
  ASK YOURSELF HONESTLY
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER,
TORONTO: Is Pakistan in safe hands? NO, Pakistan was never in safe hands. Had the country been in safe hands, true leaders would have been ruling this country and made it a Superpower. It could have been a reality but this was never allowed to happen.
Most people not only watched helplessly but were compelled by the situation, circumstances and sinister conspiracy to become, knowingly and unknowingly, a part of massive corruption and destruction.
Had Pakistan been in safe hands, stable and prosperous, thousands of people, particularly brilliant brains, would not have migrated or fled to wherever they could.  They migrated because they could neither become a part of the corrupt society and system nor were in a position to fight the powerful corrupt lobby and conspirators.
Migration, both forced and for betterment, provided them the best opportunities to help their families, within and outside Pakistan, achieve their goals, make themselves strong enough to become a powerful voice and strength for their sacred land Pakistan and those Pakistanis who were and are not prepared to become a part of corruption and conspiracy but not powerful enough to struggle against, challenge and fight the enemies of Pakistan.
Had Pakistan been in safe hands, Bengalis would not have faced discrimination and as a result hated us, East Pakistan would not have become Bangladesh , millions of innocent Muslims would not have been mercilessly killed, raped, displaced or became stateless (Biharis) as a result, over 90,000 Pakistani soldiers would not have been humiliated and become Prisoners of War.
Had Pakistan been in safe hands, some corrupt army generals, rulers and politicians would not have pitched the patriotic and brave soldiers of Pakistan against its own innocent people and keep killing and conquering them and then proudly claiming medals of bravery.
Unfortunately it all happened and no lesson was learnt from any single mistake. Again, this was because Pakistan was never in safe hands.  Look at the history of Pakistan and you will find that not Pakistan but those harming and destroying Pakistan became extremely powerful, prosperous and rulers.  They are eating Pakistan like termites and made it completely hollow.
God forbid, sans safe hands anything could happen to Pakistan. The commitment and mission of the conspirators, corrupts and enemies is to erase the name of Pakistan from the map of the world. This is their plan but we must never lose hope because God disposes of what man proposes. This is a reality and mentioned by The Almighty Himself in the holy books.
Whenever the need arises, The Almighty sends help in some forms. Despite tremendous attempts to destroy Pakistan, its survival itself is a sign of Divine Help. The sufferings are mostly part of The Almighty’s wrath and punishment for supporting and becoming part of corruption.
Coming to the Abbottabad Commission Report and the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the world famous CIA recruited and professionally trained Mujahideen, who later became notorious Al-Qaeda leader and a potential threat to US and Allies interests.
There is no need to go into details of whether it was all a bogey or how OBL was killed or he was really present there or not or had already died somewhere else years back due to chronic illness or so on.  One thing is certain, whatever happened to OBL both Pakistan and the US fully know about it and we would know about it after twenty years when facts would be disclosed or uncensored..
Again, if Pakistan was in safe hands, no country or power would have dared to even think of crossing the border for any adventure or harming it in any manner. 
Without naming anyone, the Abbottabad Commission investigating the circumstances surrounding the Osama bin Laden raid said in its report that the country’s civil and military leadership should apologise to the nation for their “collective failure”.
The report was leaked to Al Jazeera news network and posted on its website on July 8, 2013.
The commission, however, has not named individuals or suggested punishment for those who were ignorant about the presence of the al Qaeda leader or the US raid in Abbottabad to kill Bin Laden on May 2, 2011.  “It is unnecessary to specifically name them because it is obvious who they are,” said the report. Important point to note: “It is obvious who they are.”
Commenting on the statements of Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UK Wajid Shamsul Hassan on international media where he claimed that “whatever has happened, has happened with our consent,” the commission observed that seldom has a high commissioner made a more dishonest or absurd statement without any clearance from his superiors.
The commission noted that the defence minister’s testimony was disarmingly candid where “he seemed to recognise that, as a civilian, he had no authority to meddle in defence and security affairs.”
Unfortunately, in Pakistan commissions for inquiry are allegedly formed not to solve but to put a lid on the truth. This is meant to hide the crime, corruption and conspiracy and divert the attention of the people.  In most cases nothing happens and the criminals and culprits remain unpunished and roam freely.
The Abbottabad incident must not be taken lightly. It exposes the serious danger to Pakistan. Yesterday it was US, today the terrorists and Taliban and tomorrow India or Israel or Afghanistan or any other country could easily carry out any adventure they are planning including destruction of the nuclear facilities or invasion of Pakistan.
The scenario and situation poses a serious question: “Can the incompetent, immoral, impotent and corrupt civil and military ones in the rank of rulers and military face the challenge? Are they in a position or capable of defending Pakistan?” The answer is a big NO. We can never trust them. They are in fact the real threat, enemies and danger to Pakistan. As long as they remain in power and important positions, Pakistan will never be in safe hands.
Whatever decision is made or taken against them by the courts or commissions, they will never regret or apologize and remain unpunished and free. Even if as a cosmetic move they are put behind the bars there too they will enjoy the best VVIP treatment and facilities. Yes, because Pakistan is in the hold and grip of The Corrupts and Conspirators.
Only True Leadership can rope and punish them. This is why we must keep searching for and promoting true leadership. Only they can bell the cat. Only they can send them to hell.
People must understand that helplessness, when in a position where they can stand up and struggle for their rights and freedom, is a serious crime. Their support of corrupts and blind following of Evil Mullahs  is not only proving them as immoral and impotent but inviting the wrath of The Almighty as well. The Evil Mullahs have made their lives miserable. No people or nation can survive in this situation, not even Pakistan. God will help only those who will help themselves and those who are allowing themselves to be openly exploited and brutally raped, harmed  and killed then why would God help them? They then deserve all this. Then why cry, complain and ask for help?
As regards Pakistan, it is surviving and will survive because it was created as a result of Divine Mission. Very few will understand this but fortunately this is a fact and reality. Ask the conspirators and corrupt ones, they have been trying their best to finish off Pakistan but have failed to do so till now. Geographical changes for better shape can take place but the Divine Mission will never be harmed.  InShaAllah. 
Let’s declare open war against the conspirators, corrupt ones and most dangerous Evil Mullahs involved in misleading the people and corrupting and destroying the society. Let’s prepare for struggle against these enemies of the country and the people.  Pakistan can only remain in safe hands if true leadership is promoted and given charge of the country, system and society.  With Allah’s help only they can chase the Evil Mullahs. We need them badly.
