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...

Th holocaust and Holland's Geert Wilders

      Talking about the founder of Dutch anti-Islam party, Party of Freedom ( Partij voor de Vrijheid – PVV), Geert Wilders, who is holding Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) cartoon competition has provoked violent responses all across the globe. He has banned every single mosque and Quran in the Netherlands. He has banned all the Muslim immigrants as well. His criticism on Quran and on Islam has made him famous.  Geert Wilders- Wikimedia              He says, "I don't hate Muslims, I hate Islam". It doesn't make any sense, you hate a religion and expect the followers of that particular religion will like you. Somebody, please call a psychiatrist, the patient needs some help with his mentality          I strongly condemn the blasphemy of our beloved prophet (S.A.W.W). Scrolling down the Social Media, I came across the people talking about the Holocaust and violently responding to the foolish act of...

Significance of Eid-ul-Adha

        Eid-ul-Adha ,the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two holidays of Islam (the other is Eid-ul-Fitr). Eid, as described in 'Surah-e-Ma'ida', is a solemn festival for Muslims. On this day, Muslims sacrifice Halal animals in the name of Allah. Alone in Pakistan, over 10 million people perform 'Qurbani' (Sacrifice), which means US 2 billion dollars are spent. Muslims divide the meat in three parts, one for the poor and the needy, one for the relatives and friends and rest of it is kept by the family. It is on the 10th day of the month of 'Dhul-Hijjah'. It is celebrated right after the 'Hajj'  Crescent-  Pixabay Why do Muslims celebrate it?        Muslims celebrate the festival of Eid-ul-Adha as the remembrance of the prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S)'s willingness to sacrifice his beloved son Hazrat Ismail (A.S) [who also became a prophet], to follow Allah's command. Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) got his son after 80 years of patienc...
