Many big personalities and foreign dignitaries also attended the ceremony including the caretaker Prime Minister Nasirul Mulk. Change of guard, as usual, was also held at the mausoleums of Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam at Lahore and Karachi.

Pakistan's fate will be decided in terms of 'Vote'

     Mamnoon Hussain congratulated the crowd for the Independence Day and said, "As Independence day and General Elections come together it is a hidden message. As Pakistan had come into being with the will of the people, Pakistan's fate would also be decided in terms of vote". He also said, "Pakistan is a blessing of Allah".

     Addressing the crowd, caretaker Prime Minister said, "We will not forget the sacrifices of the Kashmiris for Pakistan, and we will do anything for them that we can do under the United Nations Organizations."

President, PM's separate messages for the audience

     In the separate message of President Mamnoon Hussain, terming Pakistan as a blessing of Allah, said, " Our ancestors secured this homeland for the Muslims, but it has not achieved what it deserves, and we can make this state economically better and prosperous, only when we follow the teachings of Quaid and Iqbal in our true spirits."

    PM also said, "This day reminds us the sacrifices and struggles of our forefathers for this homeland and we will not forget their struggle for this state to fashion their lives according to their religion, culture, social and moral values.

    We can get to the heights of glory by following Quaid's message of "Unity, Faith, Discipline"

    "By faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there's nothing you cannot achieve"-
 'Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah'

Mushkpuri Diaries

        What else can be better than having fun with friends? A long awaited morning came. We were done with the OHTs, it was exhausting. Who likes exams?               A good turned evil friend of mine, kicked me out of the bed when it was 5 on the clock and I was like WTF. We reached the bus stop at 6. OK, forget about the time, we were in the Bus and we even had breakfast in the Bus. We were about to leave the boundaries of College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, NUST (CEME, NUST).             There were 5 Buses, we were in a great number and it was our first trip from CEME, NUST to Mushkpuri top.  4 seniors came in our Bus, afterwards. The term Senior, is often terrifying to some, but we had a lot of fun with them.         When the journey started, our beloved Class Representative (CR) started making crazy faces and moves to entertain us, but we are g...

Who am I? What am I doing? Why am I alive?

Have you ever wondered, what if you were left alone in the world with all the luxuries, but no people? How does it feel?  I guess I will be happy at first, and after enjoying every possible luxurious event, I'll have no one to share it with, leaving me sad and depressed (it's the worst I can imagine).  Have you ever felt lonely in a crowd? I guess, always, when you don't know anyone truly.  Why does it happen? What do we need to do?  It happens because we aren't connected with ourselves, we need some self-assessment to overcome this loneliness.   When something is bothering you or making you feel worthless, and you seek advice, people will tell you to distract yourself and find the activities that you like, but we cannot do it if we are not connected with ourselves and it takes a lot of work, a lot of self-realization, it's a process of knowing ourselves, who we truly are.  We ought to connect with our emotions and try to control them, otherwise, they ...

Secularism everywhere

     The increased rate of secularism in Pakistan is deviating many from their right path. Pakistan is not a secular state, rather it has an Islamic ideology and is known as 'The Islamic Republic of Pakistan'. Even the so-called 'Muftis"(Recognized scholars), nowadays, are offering degrees in the favor of interest policies. When we have our holy book Quran and Allah says in the Quran:      “O ye who believe! fear Allah and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers. If ye do it not, take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger.” (al-Baqara 278-279)       It is clear from the verses mentioned above, that devouring usury (interest), is a war against Allah and his Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Now if anyone, even a Mufti, says that usury is 'Halal' ( Permissible) in Islam, he is truly misguided and misguiding others as well.  The rise of the secularism       People, even of th...
