Justice...
Now that the Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry has won the case against the reference from the President, questions remain :
Will a layman get justice now? Would people still die on the doors of the court asking for justice?! Will the poor and weak have a voice against the injustices of rich and strong lords?!

Something to Ponder over...
On the first day of university after the semester break, while travelling in the public trasport, we were actually dropped off at the Independence Chowk!!! All my friends were hugging and screaming at the very fact that we didn't have to walk all the way to the department from the Silver Jubilee Gate!!! It was the perfect moment of ecstacy for all the students who use either the points or the public transport to get to the university.
It's after an year that they have opened the gates of university to the public transport or even their own buses. Last Ramadhan was the test for all of us. I still remember how we used to travel from the arts lobby to the zoology department in a rikshaw just to get some handouts. We even used to pool in money to get to the gate in the rikshaws. The scorching heat, the sun and the long walk used to tire us before even reaching our classes. Yes the points used to pick up students once they were inside the gates to their departments but for me walking was the better option.
Why were the gates closed?!
It has a long history... I still remember in the first week of university, a sernior told me that even if you hear about a clash, RUN!!! Well... the first semester was not much of a disaster in that sense. But in the second semester, students' political parties had a clash which resulted in closed doors, checking of bags at the gate and the student's university cards, which indeed was thrilling! The after effects were that while having one of our classes, some students belonging to a political group came in and asked the teacher to wind it up!
During the exams of second semester, we went to give an exam and found out that our paper has been cancelled. It was because a student slapped a professor on his face just because that professor refused to give the student the permission to sit in an exam due to shortage of attendance. The teachers' union called off every exam until the student was penalized for three years! And personally, I think the student earned it! Plus it was the first time EVER in the recent history that a paper was cancelled which was followed by the cancellation of exams right after may 12!!!
Well, the thrid and fourth semesters were a disaster. At one time the student clash went soo bad that we actually heard gun shots near the Arts Lobby! And it was since then the gates of university were closed for the public transportation. It didn't help though, we had a number of clashes after that as well.
Someone I know was wondering lately, that there were no one killed by the Jamia Hafsa students in all those years and they faced a major military operation. Karachi University is a hub of clashes, gunfires, injured and deaths, why isn't any operation done against the political groups that intimidate the other students who go there to study. In K.U. they give you soft drinks either in cans or paper cups because a number of students died earlier because the soft-drink-bottles were used as weapons!
You enter Karachi Univeristy and you see a number of Rangers and University guards everywhere. And we have seen the situations where these Rangers are threatened not to touch or involve or even come near the clashes. And as we all know the sudents' wing of the political parties are as deadly as the political parties themselves, Rangers do keep their distance!
And yet these political parties have a right to live and prosper when they have blood of innocent people on their hands and shouldn't be touched?!
To end with a happy note : my mum was complaining about no rains and scorching heat in Karachi even in July. And there's this famous saying that where the soil is stained with the blood of the innocent, Allah does not bless them with rains... it's just Azaab-Ilaahi which hits them! And may Allah give us guidance and save us from His wrath. Ameen.

Army...
Army was always considered to be the most prestigious institution in our country but now we are having second thoughts. I got this SMS a few days back and it really hits you between the eyes, forcing you to see beyond the crisp uniforms:
"When was the last time our legendary Pak Army faces the army of an enemy country? Was it Kargil when they left dead bodies behind and made good their escape OR war at Paltan Ground of Dhaka where they made historyby becoming the largest surrendering Army in Muslim History. But now thi smafia of property dealers is never going to face an enemy army again. The only use left for this breed now is to lick the feet of their American counterparts."

Just a Disaster?!
8th October 2006 : Earthquake rocked the northern area of Pakistan killing millions of people.
June 2007: Cyclone, floods hit the coastal parts of Sindh and Baluchistan killing millions again
July 2007 : Strom hit the Punjab Area of Pakistan killing several
In less than one year, we came across more than one natural calamity which cannot be a conincidence. It's time to mend our ways before we get the worst of them.

*Sigh*
Main ye kis ke naam likhoon jo alamm guzar rahay hain
Mere shehar jal rahay hain,mere log marr rahay hain
Koi guncha ho ke gul ho,koi shaakh ho shajar ho
Wo hawaa-e-gulistaan hai ke sabhi bikhar rahay hain
Kabhi rehmatain thi nazil issi khita-e-zamee’n par
Wohi khitta-e-zamee’n hai ke azaab utar rahay hain
Wohi taairo’n ke jhurmut jo hawa main jhooltay thay
Wo fizaa ko dekhtay hain to ab aah bhar rahay hain
Bari aarzoo thi humko naye khaab dekhnay ki
So ab apni zindagi main naye khaab bhar rahay hain
KOI aur to Nahi hai pass-e-khanjar aazmaai
HAMEE QATAL KAR RAHAY HAIN,HAMEE QATAL HORAHAY HAIN!!!!!!
Obaidullah Aleem

Hadith
Narrated Abu Huraira :
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said,
"Angels come to you in succession by night and day and all of them get together at the time of the Fajr and 'Asr prayers. Those who have passed the night with you (or stayed with you) ascend (to the heaven) and Allah asks them, though He knows everything about you,"In what state did you leave my slaves?" The angels reply: "When we left them, they were offering the Salat(prayer) and when we reached them, they were offering Salat(prayer)"

Who Rules America
Last year, during our mass communication's classes, we were supposed to read on the conglomerates of media that rule the world. And surprisingly we came up to this report while searching things on internet. Well, though we know who's ruling the world of media, and people won't listen to me providing that my view would only be too subjective to the fact that I'm a Muslim, so I thought why not paste the link to that site where you can read on that report yourselves.

It's a pity that Muslims are forced to think that their viewpoint is subjective and the West's viewpoint is always objective whereas no one can ever be objective in his life. And it's a pity Muslims actually believe them.
