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...

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...

Imran Khan sends best wishes and prayers to the victims of flood in Kerala, India

        Imran Khan is the most different prime minister of Pakistan, has always shown patriotism for his motherland, love, and affection to the poor and needy. Lamenting on what has happened in Kerala, India, Imran Khan tweeted that he and his countrymen send their best wishes and prayers for the victims of the flood and they might provide the humanitarian assistance if needed.  Imran Khan's tweet . Imran Khan- By Heinrich Böll Stiftung from Berlin, Deutschland        445 deaths were estimated in the flood, 15 people were missing and almost a million evacuated.

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...

Cryptocurrency, An on-going craze

        I consider it necessary to write about the on-going craze about cryptocurrencies among young people, investing six figures blindly for the sole-purpose of reward and outcome, and also promoting others to do what they have done. First off, lets discover what cryptocurrency actually is. Cryptocurrency         'Crypto' means hidden, and as the name confirms, cryptocurrency means hidden currency. It's completely anonymous, it has no physical shape, nor it has an intrinsic value. It's not redeemable for another commodity, as fiat currency is, like gold. Cryptocurrency work on the principle of supply and demand. When supply is high, its price would be low, and when demand is high, its price would be high as well.         Satoshi Nakamoto, a Japanese scientist invented Bitcoin in 2009. It uses peer to peer network, and is based on de-facto law. There were attempts in the 90's to make a digital cash, but all failed. Now...
