It is a cultural hegemony of the occident over the orient. It undermines our ability to critically analyze and understand things. By accepting this orientalist perception, we are legitimizing the ne0-liberalism and colonialism of the west as it was used to legitimize the colonize enterprise of the East India Company in India, as had been in many other countries. No one denies that globalization is predominantly a western idea. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Most people appreciate the efforts of the West to promote peaceful relations with the East. But few realize that all this comes at a price. They will only accept peace if there is a cultural and social integration between the Orient and the Occident. But they are in essence mincing words here. This cultural and social integration is not merely merging values of both the parties involved. But it is absolute authorization of the Occident and legitimate subjugation of the Orient. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Orientalism is narrowly defined as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#424242;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;a cultural feature associated with the countries, peoples, or cultures of East Asia, but this statement chiefly hides the larger picture. It is also a sum of oversimplified attitudes of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Western intellectuals toward the East, and in particular toward the Middle East. The reason why people fail to understand Orientalism in its entirety is particularly due to acceptance of western laws and the democratic system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;If one understands the process of westernization as the dominant force in the era of globalization but argues as if nothing in principle is wrong  with the orientalist perception, he/she might need to reconsider if the referent that he/she is following is worthy of being admired. By adopting a holistic approach and understanding that the political, economic, judicial and social spheres are interrelated to each other, one should not be oblivious to the hidden but phenomenal failures under the rubric of glamour and development. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;It’s no surprise that whatever the west portrays as trendy, the east follows it. Let it be reminded here that the west is not inclusive of the entire Europe or North and South America, but rather the Global North in which the United States and Britain are dominant. No one today denies the penetration of westernization in the global societies but what one does not understands why that is so. Certainly, the west has depicted it as being on the axis of development and modern civilization. It is not a coincidence however that the east has fallen pray to their perception and has failed to see what is behind the veil. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Is it agreeable that the one you are going to follow must be someone better than you and must be worthy of following? If yes, we may continue. What is the west we are all fond of? Under the garb of hi-fi buildings, luxurious cars, awesome houses, lies the worst sort of depression and hopelessness. They promote development as being a part of a multinational corporation, having a promising career and a secure future. But development is improving education, literacy, health, hygiene and environment. Unfortunately, many of these factors are rather completely ignored or not dealt with properly. After all, it’s the western perception. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;As the world is moving on, people are becoming increasingly materialistic and individualistic. Values of altruism and self-sacrifice are becoming progressively rarer. All this lies in the heart of secularism and liberalism. Families are destroyed and lives shattered. Divorce rates are the highest in these countries and never wonder why. The children don’t know where to go and in order to avoid the negative atmosphere of the house, remain out most of the time. They are exposed to strip clubs and bars and since they feel so devastated already, they don’t mind giving way to their desires. This is the democracy of the west, and this is their society. Many of the people in the west seek to find a way out of this materialistic unhappy life they are entrapped in and look out for peace in spiritualism. New age religions, yoga and other spiritualistic cults are on the rise there. There is a complete hopelessness generated. Amazingly, people are leaving orthodox Christianity, and are either coming to complete spiritualism, or are leaving religion altogether. Resultantly suicide rates due to purposelessness and depression are escalating. Some people think that monasticism is the way out while others think the other extreme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;One of the most lethal weapons to promote social ideas is the media and it’s no surprise that the spread of media in every home has largely and indefinitely contributed to the change of perceptions in every home as well. Can anyone in their right mind possibly deny that the presence of electronic media has altogether created new values and shun old ones? Is it ludicrous to think that the most of the movies produced in the 21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;st&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; century have shamelessly promoted fornication, porn, extra-marital relations, sexual harassment and abuse? Who in their right mind could possibly deny that the children are largely been exposed to pornography from an early age? In the age of globalization, every person, be he young or old tries to imitate what he sees on the television in one way or the other. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The media has been used to make objectionable ideas and values acceptable in today’s society. Who could once perceive of homosexuals as being not only so open about their nature, but also very proud of it? Being a gang member used to be somewhat a member of shame; but now, the media promotes “good” gangsters as bringing justice to the world by adding a little moral touch to it. At first the idea of the man having relations with anyone other than his wife seemed an insult to his family, now it has become a norm. One just wonders how did this paradigm shift happen and how did it take place in just a short span of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-1478282607510425974?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/1478282607510425974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2009/12/orient-occident.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/1478282607510425974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/1478282607510425974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2009/12/orient-occident.html' title='THE ORIENT &amp; THE OCCIDENT'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/Sx0Kpe2yu8I/AAAAAAAAAT0/7N0U5qU2agM/s72-c/orientocc.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-5713263027947432646</id><published>2009-12-07T18:49:00.003+05:00</published><updated>2009-12-07T18:55:48.546+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clutches'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='omer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='edward said'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mehreen'/><title type='text'>THE CLUTCHES</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/Sx0Iw-_X1TI/AAAAAAAAATs/tSGYzX0zWho/s1600-h/clutches.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/Sx0Iw-_X1TI/AAAAAAAAATs/tSGYzX0zWho/s400/clutches.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412491964804748594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000066;"&gt;By Mehreen Omer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The trouble with today’s modern man is his inability to break the clutches of his mind and think freely and independent from other sources. He feeds on the information being fed to him through the hands of others and doesn’t questions what he is being fed. He has incontrovertibly become dependant upon the views and information being presented to him by “others” and so sees the world as “others” want him to see.  So in effect, he finds it either inconvenient or too strenuous to work out some information about any thing himself and would readily accept any information presented to him by “others”. Unfortunately, the “others” that he either trusts too much or considers “experts” are the very same people who are not credible at all and deliberately supply false information i.e. in other words propaganda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So has man become too tired to think critically and put everything under careful scrutiny or has man indulged himself in an inferiority complex seeing the world through the eyes of those that he considers superior. This is the perception of orientalism which basically promotes the notion that the West has better and much superior values and the eastern world has remained backward as a whole. An important personality who needs be discussed whenever orientalism is discussed is Edward Said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; Edward Said (1935-2003) was a Palestinian American writer and educator. In his writings and lectures, Said was highly critical of Western portrayals of Arabs and of United States foreign policy in the Middle East. For much of his life he was a passionate advocate of the cause of Palestinians displaced by the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. His outspoken views gained him both admirers and fierce critics. Said is best-known for his book Orientalism (1978), which discusses the attitude of Western intellectuals toward the East, and in particular toward the Middle East. Said argued that Westerners have a limited, oversimplified concept of the Middle East and its history. This view, he said, goes hand in hand with political imperialism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/The%20Clutches.docx#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[i]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Culture and Imperialism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; (1993) Said drew similar perceptions from works of Western literature—perceptions of the East as the “other,” of peoples barbaric and limited, of Oriental despots, and of cultures both exotic and degenerate. Said argued that these perceptions remain influential today and have an impact on politics, particularly on policies toward the Middle East and on views of Arabs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/The%20Clutches.docx#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoEndnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[ii]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;An excellent analogy that can be cited is that a man who is reluctant to think independently is like a policy-maker who has been told by his enemy how to set his foreign policy. Most people are aware what propaganda is, but still apply little effort to counter it. Even if barely a person becomes aware that a television anchor has lied about things or events in the past, he still doesn’t gives him the certificate of a liar and presupposes that the television anchor can lie about something trivial but not something that is so open. These are the kind of people who are unaware of disinformation. Disinformation does not merely means false information but false information which is presented after lots of true information, so that the person thinks that if that much true information has been given to him, the remaining must also be the truth. That’s why most Hollywood movies would portray governmental corruption and domestic terrorism but don’t go further than that. They would give the facts that make the public hate the puppets (because they already hate them) and not the real people behind them. How many movies are made about a government sex scandal but not about how the government has actually been proved to be behind a terrorism case that they for long blamed on others? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;And when such narrow-minded people are told that a certain person is lying; that man pops up angrily and argues baselessly that are they the experts are you the experts. Such a person has undeniably been deluded into believing that just because a person got his so-called Ph.D. in a particular field, he got to be saying the the truth! Even as a layman, one must do his own research and study under experienced teachers and then form his own conclusion. Man always tries to avoid the hassle and find the shortcut which in turn hurts him big time in the long run. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The debate between the east and west seems to be old and outdated yet this is not only about western domination and eastern incompetency but unwillingness will to think critically and independently. No argument regarding this entire notion is well-supported without the mention of the thousand years of golden age of Muslims. It was a time when Muslims literally ruled the world and set the stage for advancements in medicine, astronomy, technology, social sciences, political science, law, history and many other sciences. They led the way; and this being at a time when the European (or more precisely the Western world) was engrossed in their dark ages. Today Muslims have become gripped in their pessimism and have become reliant upon the western world to lead the way. One thing that needs to be reminded here is that the western world considered here is the western values in general and not the western people in particular; since there are western Muslims as well!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Another thing that needs to be considered is that mankind has indeed become inept and entertainment saturated. And this is not by chance, as many would like to believe. Man is also affected by his societal milieu and resultantly adopts the values that the majority agrees to be ethical not what really should be ethical. And this is the problem. What will happen if the majority errs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;So conclusively, man needs to change his mentality and free himself from the clutches of modern-day imperialism. He needs to develop his self-esteem and stop being a puppet being stringed by the elite. Most people today accept and agree that 9/11 was an inside job, but they don’t consider the implications of this. If they lied about such an enormous event, why can’t they lie about other events, be they trivial or momentous? So beware. A Muslim needs to cautioned here that Prophet Muhammad SAW reminded us of these times when great lies will be spoken, so beware!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

They want us to be like them. They want to produce their carbon copies in the hundreds of millions. They want destruction. They want chaos. They want our doom. And how would man be able to swallow, when he will be told that Gog and Magog have achieved these aims. If anyone today has any doubts that globalization is a myth or that globalization is not part of the larger agenda, then he/she must perhaps go back to his philosophy that ignorance is bliss. They mince words saying globalization is unity between the orient and the occident, but one should question; is it really an edifying integration between the orient and the occident or a cultural hegemony of the occident over the orient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;  color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;According to Encarta Dictionary, to globalize means to make something adopted globally i.e. to become adopted on a global scale, or cause something, especially social institutions, to become adopted on a global scale. Isn’t that what is happening today, and incontrovertibly in almost every field. What we eat, drink, wear and how we behave, react and move, has been largely, if not completely, influenced by this process of globalization. Essentially, globalization is an authorization of a complete social, economic, psychological, educational, occasional, technological, political and judicial model around the globe with a one-world totalitarian government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Today, we see different cultures are integrated into a global culture. Corporations have expanded into multinational businesses. To name a few; McDonalds, KFC, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Dominos, Boss, Hardees, Marks and Spencer, Chen One, Lewre, Charles and Keith, Starbucks, Levis, Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel have been found in almost each and every country. Companies like Apple, LG, Philips, Samsung, HP, and Toshiba have expanded their business internationally. Who is oblivious of hotels like Marriot, Pearl Continental and Hilton? Blue jeans and shirts have become the icon and the more branded an accessory, the better it is in the eye of people. Suffice to say, many brands and companies have become so culturally integrated in every society in such a way that they have become a part of them. But this process of globalization is not limited at the corporate level but also extends socially, morally and politically and have become part of our daily lives either unwillingly or unknowingly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In the political culture, we see a perfect example of globalization in the United Nations Organization. Many people still today think that it was formed just as a reaction to the first two major world wars and to prevent any outbreak of such future potentially destructive wars. But if we understand who was behind the foundation of the United Nations, we shall realize a very sinister reason. But not to provoke any major unpleasant reactions, that reason will not be discussed here. We all perhaps know that the United Nations is not a solo organization but has many groups and sub-groups. Examples include UNESCO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/Globalization.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;, UNICEF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/Globalization.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[2]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; and WHO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/Globalization.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[3]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; etc. Other organizations like the IMF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/Globalization.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[4]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; and WTO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="file:///D:/Articles/Mehreen%20Omer/Globalization.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoFootnoteReference"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[5]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; have also largely played their role in establishing the same economic and trade rules worldwide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In the social culture, we see ideas and concepts promoted by the media and changing the psychology, mentality, behavior, and personality of the individual. Values of this social culture are being increasingly adopted. These values have their origins in secularism, individualism and liberalism. The media is vital in promoting these values. Movies and programs are encouraging such principles to be adopted in every home and street. Many few invite the notion that Hollywood is not just an entertainment industry, it is a social marketing enterprise used to promote social change and to influence people with some specific ideologies, doctrines and notions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;This spread of globalization is not restricted only to these spheres, but have contaminated the economic realm as well as well. The rapid acceptance of capitalism throughout the world is one such example of globalization. How much destruction, chaos, poverty, unemployment, diseases and corruption, capitalism has brought to the world is no hidden secret. Along with this, the prevalence of interest-based banking system throughout the world is another example of globalization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In the technological sphere, new technologies have been adopted readily around the world.

Amazingly, the Eli-ites are winning the race. Even though the harms brought by the society outnumber the benefits brought by it; its acceptance is increasing rather than decreasing. One wonders, whose interest is this acceptance serving?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Indubitably, there has been an occasional amalgamation as well. World Aids Day, Cancer Day, Hunger Day, Earth Day are being renowned throughout the world. Festivals like Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve are celebrated throughout the world. Halloweens have become very common around the globe, and children use it to play trick and treat games, forgetting the history of Hollywood. It has become a phenomenon to celebrate many parties with spilling Champaign all over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;In the judicial circle, laws and legislations are rapidly being standardized throughout the world. Capital punishment is increasingly being abolished in many countries. Many countries are making euthanasia legal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph; line-height:200%"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Even in the educational arena, many textbooks have been standardized to be taught in schools, universities and other institutions. Through such standardization, other works and ideas of other scholars are largely ignored and the new generation that is brought forth moves under the same axis. One should question why are such textbooks in science, history, law, business, economics, arts, humanities have been benchmarked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It has been utterly deceived. They’ve been told that the power elite is working for them to provide them with essentially three basic needs; food, shelter and clothing. What they have not been told, is that all these things were already theirs. It was stolen from them, and still is. The world power elite is making you pay money for something you own, and they are gaining money for something that’s not theirs. Unfortunately, this ignorance is not inconceivable considering that our history textbooks have been manipulated so tactfully by the same power elite. This is not hypothetical folks, this is the reality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;A massive global theft of our natural resources has resulted in poverty, starvation, pandemics, endemics, water and food shortages, destruction of livelihoods and even unemployment. If you have remained oblivious to this, then you should know that many works have been done criticizing this global take-over, but of course they are not highlighted by the media. Today, resolutions are passed in the United Nations Council to carve out poverty, disease and famine; only to further enslave mankind.  Unequivocally, they are talking rubbish. The United Nations Organization isn’t there to help you; it’s there to enslave you. Many of the problems encountered today, be it poverty, spread of new diseases, famine, drought, or environmental crisis, are all man-made and have been engineered by those in power; not the government; but those who even control the government. It’s comical how just a couple of decades back, such accusations were labeled as conspiracy theories and now the same people are protesting against it.How would conceive the notion of paying a price for something that already belongs to you? How would you like paying a hundred bucks for a hundred bucks note already in your wallet? That’s ridiculous, isn’t it? And yet the reality is even worse. You are paying ten-thousand bucks for a hundred bucks in your wallet. As unbelievable it may seem, but the reality is that you have been fooled so much, that the reality is mocking at you. If one doesn’t even knows his rights, how will he fight for it? They have taken everything from you; your money, food, health, time, job, mind and even soul. They have penetrated into every corner of your home. They don’t need to know what’s happening in your private rooms; because they already know. They’ve prepared you for it. Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction. The entire scenario is like a person taking a vase from your house, packing it up in fancy wrapping, and giving it back to you as a gift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;How would you react? Would you show thanks for something that was already yours? This is just one analogy. The reality goes far worse. A robber after raiding your house returns the next day to return your door mat. Quite disturbingly, mankind is actually thanking the robber for that door mat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The realm of global theft encompasses many important aspects in our life. The most prominent of them are our national resources; something that is God-gifted to all humanity, regardless of who they are and where they live. Land, water, air, food, the sum of all human knowledge and experience, science and culture are something that are our commons, and have to be claimed back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-8555246295230417890?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/8555246295230417890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2009/12/global-theft.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/8555246295230417890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/8555246295230417890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2009/12/global-theft.html' title='GLOBAL THEFT'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/Sx0GDCpK5QI/AAAAAAAAATc/5HHq112rTSQ/s72-c/theft.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-692000880606088298</id><published>2009-12-07T18:22:00.003+05:00</published><updated>2009-12-07T18:32:07.970+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='omer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glamour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='confessions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mehreen'/><title type='text'>GLAMOUR</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/Sx0DbDVmN8I/AAAAAAAAATM/4lAC1q_fX9g/s1600-h/glamour.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 356px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/Sx0DbDVmN8I/AAAAAAAAATM/4lAC1q_fX9g/s400/glamour.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412486090456446914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;By Mehreen Omer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Why do we always covet something we don’t have in our lives, even though we do not necessarily need it? Have you ever wondered what is it that makes us so desirous of luxury? We may go by a small cozy chair that is just as comfortable as the expensive office seat, but we would rather prefer the later. We would rather prefer shopping in a mall and pay even thrice for the same quality we would get in a mediocre bazaar. Our brand involvement has increased tremendously, and every thing we buy has to be branded or otherwise is worthless. We have become indolently dependant upon quality that we forget the price that we have to pay for it. Has the infiltration of glamour changed our lifestyle so much that we need to reconsider our paradigm?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;According to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Encarta Dictionary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;; Glamour means &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;exciting allure, expensive good looks and a spell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;. Considering the first definition, glamour is an irresistible alluring quality that somebody or something possesses by virtue of seeming much more exciting, romantic, or fashionable than ordinary people or things. Considering the second definition, glamour means striking physical good looks or sexual impact, especially when it is enhanced with highly fashionable clothes or makeup. Considering the third definition, glamour stands out for a magical spell or charm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Of course, literally everyone knows in one way or the other what glamour is, but need was felt here to give proper definitions to argue further on their basis. As seen through the definitions glamour is largely used to glorify appearance, but what if appearance and reality are completely opposite things. Then, incontrovertibly, glamour in effect is used as a tool for mass deception. It indulges man in a trance, undermining his ability to judge the true value of things. It must be stressed here that looking good is no crime, but only looking good is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Why have we become so inept that we are chasing something that we are never going to catch? If we do not realize the gravity of the problem, we will never be able to solve it. Stakes are high and urgent decisions are needed. In this post-normal world, where mass deception is common and outspread, if we do not realize the root of the problem that is facing us than we will undeniably will have to bear unimaginable repercussions. Why are we so obsessed with glamour? They paint ordinary things in different colors, and we become so involved in them. The things we own end up owing us. The things we don’t own allure us. And in this rush of life, we lose the trick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;What we do not perhaps understand is that glamour is not only restricted to fashion, but rather encompasses many aspects of our daily lives. Our entire lifestyles are set under the agenda of promoting glamour. Urbanization is endorsed under the guise of glamour. Big city life and high-rise buildings are seen as development. A person is judged primarily on the basis of the suit he wears in the office, and secondarily on his performance. Wearing a Rolex watch alleviates one’s position at work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Needless to mention, glamour is widely promoted in the media. One particular movie “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Confessions of a Shopaholic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;” can be discussed in this context. This is how the basic plot goes;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;A childhood memory begins the film, as Rebecca's mother buys her brown shoes that will last forever but aren't fashionable, while other girls get cute fashionable shoes. They laugh at her mundane shoes, and Rebecca feels unworthy. She sees a lady using a credit card and is fascinated by them, coveting one. Now, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher), living with her best friend Suze Cleath-Stuart (Krysten Ritter), has moved to Manhattan to get involved in the New York City magazine world. She has several credit cards, and a shopping addiction. She's a journalist for a gardening magazine but her dream is to join the fashion magazine "Alette". Unfortunately, when Rebecca gets to her "Alette" interview the male receptionist informs her that the job has been filled by Alicia Billington. He advises her to join another of several other magazines owned by the corporation, Dantay West and make her way up to "Alette" since the company likes to promote from within. He tells her there are interviews being held at Successful Savings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;On the way to her second interview, she is distracted by a Denny &amp;amp; George sale, eventually buying a green scarf. Her credit card is declined and sale items cannot be held so Rebecca races to the nearest hot dog stand offering to buy all the hot dogs if the seller gives her back change in cash. Rebecca lies, saying its a gift for her sick Aunt Ermintrude. Finally a man offers her $20. When she interviews with Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), the editor of Successful Saving, she realises he is the man from who loaned her $20. Whilst he talks on the phone, she hides her scarf in a cubicle outside his office. The interview doesn't go well, when he asks her why she chose to learn Finnish fluently and about the current fiscal crisis. She tries to distract him without any success. Luke's assistant Hayley comes into the room and tells Rebecca that she dropped her scarf. Rebecca knows her game is up and leaves the interview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Frustrated by her lack of success, she and Suze write drunken letters to Alette and Successful Saving, but she posts each to the wrong magazine. Nevertheless, Luke Brandon hires her. Then, rather than completing a work assignment, she goes to a clothing sale. When examining an expensive cashmere coat, it gives her inspiration for her column, calling herself "the Girl in the Green Scarf". Impressed Luke invites her to a conference in Miami and an important ball. At a restaurant Alicia (Leslie Bibb), asks Luke to the ball, leaving Rebecca feeling dejected. In Miami, Rebecca says her credit collector, Derek Smeath is actually her stalker when he attempts to reach her throughout the film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Rebecca returns home to confrontations with Smeath, so her roommate Suze makes her join Shopaholics Anonymous. The class leader, Miss Korch (Wendie Malick), forces her to sell all the clothes she just bought, including her maid of honor dress for Suze's wedding and a dress she purchased for a TV show interview for her now famous columns as "The Girl in the Green Scarf". She offers to buy back both dresses from the charity store she was forced to donate to, but can only afford one, and chooses the TV interview dress. During her live TV interview, Rebecca is publicly outed and accused of not paying her debts by Derek Smeath, and consequently loses her job.Luke also breaks up with her after he finds out that she lied to him this whole time. Suze is also angry when she finds out that Rebecca sold her bridesmaid dress, and doesn't let her back into the apartment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; Rebecca is then back at her parents house when Allette herself appears to offer her a position at the fashion magazine as a new columnist, writing about bargain sales. While this had been Rebecca's initial plan, she says that she'd be making another mistake by influencing women to keep shopping for high-end clothes. She rejects the offer, and then decides to sell most of her wardrobe in an auction-style format to pay off her debts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Rebecca sells all her clothes in the sale, but hesitates over the green scarf during the auction. A blond woman and a telephone bidder begin a bidding war over the scarf. The auction is a success, making it possible for her to repay all of her debts. Rebecca then gives her payment to her credit collector Derek Smeath, paying it all in change by leaving hundreds of jars in his office. Rebecca then attends Suze's wedding, after reclaiming her bridesmaid dress from the homeless woman who had subsequently gotten it from the charity store. Suze forgives her and lets her be the maid of honor again. Rebecca and Luke meet again, and Luke returns the green scarf after revealing that he was the person behind both bidders at the auction. Rebecca ends up working for Luke's new magazine, writing her first column titled "Confessions of a Shopaholic".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The infusion of glamour in our lives is largely due to the emergence of brands in the hundreds of millions. Corporations have become living, breathing persons. Glamour is not merely an air of compelling charm, romance, and excitement but rather a delusive alluring aura of hell. It makes one adore luxury to the extent that one would go to any extent for that. One is compelled by the its fragrance leading him to forget the price that is paid. You don’t get a Rolex out of nowhere. You don’t get a diamond-studded necklace out of thin air. Some people apparently had to pay the price for it, and be it their life. Those who are living with a lavish lifestyle, in luxurious houses, cars, spas, bars and clubs; should know that a lot of blood was spilled just to get you those things. Your luxury is a result of their sacrifice. Their lives have to be sacrificed for you to get even a normal suit. That is how the system works.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Right now while you are driving a Ferrari, child labor in Africa is in the flow to get the raw materials. Right now while you are sitting tight in your sofa eating a pizza, farmers in the third world are working hard to produce enough to keep something for their family while giving the rest away for usage by transnational corporations. While you are dressing up for a party with a diamond necklace, know that lives were enslaved to harvest those diamonds for you. While you are enjoying a beautiful sunset on your rocking chair, know that that its wood was cut by men who got negligible wage for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;The things you own have been snatched from others and given to you, just because you can pay for them. That is what these corporations do. They put their brand name on stolen material, re-style it and give it to you, while the real owner doesn’t get more than a penny.  Everything comes at a price. There is no such thing as free lunch. The elite are enslaving both the rich and the poor but by different means. They enchain the poor by oppression and the rich by making them so deeply involved in materialism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;What needs to be understood is that quality is someone everyone likes. But what one doesn’t understand is that quality comes at a price. Also, the problem is when one gets so deeply involved in materialistic possessions that he starts flaunting about them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:monospace;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;

Because the only time that the people of Israel where permitted to have a state were two thousand years ago when the Glory of the Creator was upon us. And likewise in the future when the Glory of the Creator will once more be revealed, and the whole world will serve Him. Then He Himself (without any human effort or force of arms) will grant us a kingdom founded on Divine Service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, a wordily state, like those possessed by other peoples, is contradictory to the true essence of the People of Israel. Whoever calls this the salvation of Israel shows that he denies the essence of the People of Israel, and substituted another nature, a worldly materialistic nature, and therefore sets before them, a worldly materialistic "salvation." And the means of achieving this "salvation" is also worldly and materialistic i.e. to organize land and army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the true salvation of the People of Israel is to draw close to the Creator. And this is not done by organization and force of arms. Rather, it is done by occupation to Torah and good deeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SECOND&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of all of this and other reasons Torah forbids us to end the exile and establish a state and army until the Holy One, blessed be He, in His Glory and Essence redeems us. This is forbidden even if the state is conducted according to the law of the Torah. Because arising from the exile itself is forbidden, and we are required to remain under the rule of the nations of the world, as it explained in the book VAYOEL MOSHE. And the Holy One, blessed be He, has warned us that if we transgress this injunction, He will bring upon us (may we be spared) terrible punishment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;THIRD&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from arising from exile, all the deeds of the Zionists are diametrically opposed to the Faith and the Torah. Because the foundation of the Faith and Torah of Israel, is that the Torah was revealed from heaven, and there is reward for those who obey it and punishment for those who transgress it. The entire People of Israel are required to obey the Torah, and whoever doesn't want to, ceases to be part of the Congregation of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FOURTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from the fact that they themselves do not obey the Torah, they do everything they can to prevent anyone they get under their power, from fulfilling the commands of the Torah. They do this both with force and with trickery. Their claims to freedom of religion are lies. They fight will all of their strength to destroy the Faith of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) The Zionists claim that they are the savers of Israel, but this is refuted by twelve things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FIRST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one contemplates the two thousand years of our exile, take any hundred years even the hardest, one will not find as much suffering, bloodshed, and catastrophes for the People of Israel as in the period of the Zionists. And it is known that most of the suffering of this century was caused by the Zionists as our Rabbis warned us would be the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SECOND&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is openly stated in the books written by the founders of Zionism that the means by which they planned to establish a state was by instigating anti-Semitism, and undermining the security of the Jews in all the lands of the world, until they would be forced to flee to their state. And thus they did. They intentionally infuriated the German people and fanned the flames of Nazi hatred, and then helped the Nazis, with trickery and deceit, to take whole Jewish communities off to the concentration camps, and the Zionists themselves admit this. (See books Perfidy, Min Ha Meitsor, etc.). The Zionists continue to practice this strategy today, they incite anti-Semitism and then they present themselves as the "saviors". Here are two replies given by leaders of the Zionists during World War II, when they were asked for money to help ransom Jews from the Nazis. Greenbaum said "One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland." (G-d Forbid). Weitzman said, The most important part of the Jewish people is already in the land (of Israel) and those who are left, are unimportant (May we be spared).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;THIRD&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We see that most of the world Jewry, lives in security under good physical conditions, and have no desire to go live in the Zionist state. Whereas many people have left the Zionist state to live under better conditions in other lands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FOURTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zionists make a great deal of propaganda to induce people to immigrate too their state. If their state is so beneficial why do they have to make so much propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FIFTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because nobody wants the Zionists to "Save them". The only way they can get immigrants is by promising poor people material benefits. And even then very few people respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SIXTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zionist state is always threatened by the dangers of war. Whereas the rest of world Jewry lives in peace and security. (Except in a few places where the Zionists have undermined their security and fanned the flames of hatred)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SEVENTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zionist state could not continue to exist without economic support from Jews living outside of the Zionist state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EIGHTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zionist state is on the verge of economic collapse, and their money is nearly worthless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;NINTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Zionist state persecutes all Jews who are loyal to their faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;TENTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They start wars that endanger the Jewish People, for the sake of their own political interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ELEVENTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Torah the path of safety is following ways of peace not starting fights with other nations, as the Zionists do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;TWELFTH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if the Zionists could and would provide physical security it would be at the expense of our Faith and Our Torah. And the true People of Israel prefer death rather than life at such a cost. It is therefore clear that Zionism is not the savior of the people of Israel. Rather it is their greatest misfortune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Even though there are observant Jews and Rabbis, who approve of the Zionists, this is not the opinion of the Torah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The people of Israel has existed for thousands of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- It has its own particular, essential, nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Torah is the source of its essential nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Without Torah and faith there is no people of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Whoever denies the Torah and the Faith is no longer part of the people of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The purpose of the People of Israel in this world is Divine service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Their salvation is occupation in Divine Service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- They make it look like all Jewry and their Rabbis are&lt;br /&gt;Zionists, but this is false propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The most important Rabbis and the majority of religious&lt;br /&gt;Jewry are opposed to Zionism, but their voice is not heard because of Zionist control of American News media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Zionists terrorize everyone who speaks out against&lt;br /&gt;them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- That part of the Jewish masses which is fooled by Zionist propaganda puts pressure on their Rabbis not to speak out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Between the terror and the pressure of the masses most of the Rabbis are prevented from speaking out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) We bring three testimonies of the true opinion of the Torah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) In the past two thousand years of the dangers and sufferings of exile not once did any of the Sages of Israel suggest that we make a state to protect ourselves. And in every generation we had thousands of Sages well versed in the Torah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) We have thousands of legal work of Torah law that have been handed down to us by the Sages of all generations. Not once do we see a word suggesting the establishment of a state. What we do find is warnings against it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(3)The founders of Zionism where all atheists who denied the Torah. And all the Torah Sages of that time opposed them and opposed Zionism, saying that Zionism would lead only to destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However the true People of Israel will never change their nature or give up their faith. They are the strongest of the strong. Because of their strength the Creator gives them. Zionism is a foreign growth in the body of the Jewish People. The end will be that it will rid itself of this foreign growth and remain pure. Zionism has overcome the Jewish people by force. With fraud and terror, but none of this will help them because the truth will always remain with the help of the Creator. Zionism will not replace the Jewish People. The Jewish People will remain strong in their faith and the Zionist state will cease to exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(4)It is therefore, our demand that the State that calls itself ISRAEL should cease to exist. Since this won't be done, we demand that they cease to call themselves "Israel", because the entire being is in complete opposition to the true People of Israel. The true People of Israel deny them permission to call themselves by that Name. The Zionist leaders have no right to set themselves up as the representatives and spokesmen of the true People of ISRAEL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(5)Since we know they will not fulfill this demand either we feel that at least we cry out the truth. And the truth will always remain the truth. By no means or force can the truth be changed. Even if all the world would say that one and one are three, the truth will remain that one and one is two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Let the truth be declared. The use of the Name "ISRAEL" by that state is a complete falsification. The people of Israel have nothing to do with the state. Zionism and its state have no share and no part in the true ISRAEL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-3880067380699122794?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/3880067380699122794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-orthodox-jews-oppose-zionist-state.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/3880067380699122794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/3880067380699122794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-orthodox-jews-oppose-zionist-state.html' title='WHY ORTHODOX JEWS OPPOSE THE ZIONIST STATE OF ISRAEL'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SphALSgdXqI/AAAAAAAAAS8/nxe-fq9tmpM/s72-c/3-IMG_1689.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-6707111222341624791</id><published>2008-11-23T17:54:00.000+05:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T17:55:58.565+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lahore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deen al haq'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='update'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki khalid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='updates'/><title type='text'>:: ANNOUCEMENT ::</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SSlSx7HoIdI/AAAAAAAAAN8/SEadWHIOSqI/s1600-h/up.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271835856450626002" style="DISPLAY: block;

This may have had something to do with the fact that the tour kicked off in &lt;strong&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;/strong&gt;. But by the time the group reached &lt;strong&gt;Qatar&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Baron David de Rothschild&lt;/em&gt; was there, too, and he was also in &lt;strong&gt;Dubai&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Abu Dhabi&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although his office denies that he was part of the official party, it is probably no coincidence that he happened to be in the same part of the world at the right time. That is how the Rothschilds have worked for centuries: quietly, without fuss, behind the scenes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;We have had 250 years or so of family involvement in the finance business,” says Baron Rothschild. “We provide advice on both sides of the balance sheet, and we do it globally&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rothschilds have been helping the British government – and many others – out of a financial hole ever since they financed Wellington’s army and thus victory against the French at Waterloo in 1815. According to a long-standing legend, the Rothschild family owed the first millions of their fortune to Nathan Rothschild’s successful speculation about the effect of the outcome of the battle on the price of British bonds. By the 19th century, they ran a financial institution with the power and influence of a combined &lt;em&gt;Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley&lt;/em&gt; and perhaps even &lt;em&gt;Goldman Sachs&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;Bank of China&lt;/em&gt; today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 1820s, the Rothschilds supplied enough money to the &lt;em&gt;Bank of England&lt;/em&gt; to avert a liquidity crisis. There is not one institution that can save the system in the same way today; not even the US Federal Reserve. However, even though the Rothschilds may have lost some of that power – just as other financial institutions on that list have been emasculated in the last few months – the Rothschild dynasty has lost none of its lustre or influence. So it was no surprise to meet Baron Rothschild at the &lt;strong&gt;Dubai International Financial Centre&lt;/strong&gt;. Rothschild’s opened in Dubai in 2006 with ambitious plans to build an advisory business to complement its European operations. What took so long?&lt;br /&gt;The answer, as many things connected with Rothschilds, has a lot to do with history. When Baron Rothschild began his career, he joined his father’s firm in Paris. In 1982 President Francois Mitterrand nationalised all the banks, leaving him without a bank. With just US$1 million (Dh3.67m) in capital, and five employees, he built up the business, before merging the French operations with the rest of the family’s business in the 1990s.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gradually the firm has started expanding throughout the world, including the Gulf. “&lt;em&gt;There is no debate that Rothschild is a Jewish family, but we are proud to be in this region. However, it takes time to develop a global footprint&lt;/em&gt;,” he says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An urbane man in his mid-60s, he says there is no single reason why the Rothschilds have been able to keep their financial business together, but offers a couple of suggestions for their longevity. “&lt;em&gt;For a family business to survive, every generation needs a leader&lt;/em&gt;,” he says. “&lt;em&gt;Then somebody has to keep the peace. Building a global firm before globalisation meant a mindset of sharing risk and responsibility. If you look at the DNA of our family, that is perhaps an element that runs through our history. Finally, don’t be complacent about giving the family jobs&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stresses that the Rothschild ascent has not been linear – at times, as he did in Paris, they have had to rebuild. While he was restarting their business in France, his cousin Sir Evelyn was building a British franchise. When Sir Evelyn retired, the decision was taken to merge the businesses. They are now strong in Europe, Asia especially China, India, as well as Brazil. They also get involved in bankruptcy restructurings in the US, a franchise that will no doubt see a lot more activity in the months ahead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does he expect governments to play a larger role in financial markets in future? “&lt;em&gt;There is a huge difference in the Soviet-style mentality that occurred in Paris in 1982, and the extraordinary achievements that politicians, led by Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy, have made to save the global banking system from systemic collapse&lt;/em&gt;,” he says. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;“&lt;em&gt;They moved to protect the world from billions of unemployment. In five to 10 years those banking stakes will be sold – and sold at a profit&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baron Rothschild shares most people’s view that there is a New World Order. In his opinion, banks will deleverage and there will be a new form of global governance. “&lt;em&gt;But you have to be careful of caricatures: we don’t want to go from ultra liberalism to protectionism&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how did the Rothschilds manage to emerge relatively unscathed from the financial meltdown? “&lt;em&gt;You could say that we may have more insights than others, or you may look at the structure of our business&lt;/em&gt;,” he says. “&lt;em&gt;As a family business, we want to limit risk. There is a natural pride in being a trusted adviser.&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is that role as trusted adviser to both governments and companies that Rothschilds is hoping to build on in the region. “&lt;em&gt;In today’s world we have a strong offering of debt and equity,”&lt;/em&gt; he says. &lt;em&gt;“They are two arms of the same body looking for money&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The firm has entrusted the growth of its financing advisory business in the Middle East to Paul Reynolds, a veteran of many complex corporate finance deals. “&lt;em&gt;Our principal business franchise is large and mid-size companies&lt;/em&gt;,” says Mr Reynolds. “&lt;em&gt;I have already been working in this region for two years and we offer a pretty unique proposition&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;We work in a purely advisory capacity. We don’t lend or underwrite, because that creates conflicts. We are sensitive to banking relationships. But we look to ensure financial flexibility for our clients&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was unwilling to discuss specific deals or clients, but says that he offers them “trusted, impartial financing advice any time day or night”. Baron Rothschilds tends to do more deals than their competitors, mainly because they are prepared to take on smaller mandates. “&lt;em&gt;It’s not transactions were are interested in, it’s relationships. We are looking for good businesses and good people&lt;/em&gt;,” says Mr Reynolds. “&lt;em&gt;Our ambition is for every company here to have a debt adviser&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baron Rothschild is reluctant to comment on his nephew Nat Rothschild’s public outburst against &lt;strong&gt;George Osborne&lt;/strong&gt;, the British shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. &lt;strong&gt;Nat Rothschild&lt;/strong&gt; castigated Mr Osborne for revealing certain confidences gleaned during a holiday in the summer in Corfu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In what the British press are calling “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Yachtgate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”, the tale involved Russia’s richest man, &lt;strong&gt;Oleg Deripaska&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lord Mandelson&lt;/strong&gt;, a controversial British politician who has just returned to government, Mr Osborne and a Rothschild. Classic tabloid fodder, but one senses that Baron Rothschild frowns on such publicity. “&lt;em&gt;If you are an adviser, that imposes a certain style and culture&lt;/em&gt;,” he says. “&lt;em&gt;You should never forget that clients want to hear more about themselves than their bankers. It demands an element of being sober&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when not at work, Baron Rothschild’s tastes are sober. He lives between Paris and London, is a keen family man – he has one son who is joining the business next September and three daughters – an enthusiastic golfer, and enjoys the “&lt;em&gt;odd concert&lt;/em&gt;”. He is also involved in various charity activities, including funding research into brain disease and bone marrow disorders.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is part of Rothschild lore that its founder sent his sons throughout Europe to set up their own interlinked offices. So where would Baron Rothschild send his children today?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;I would send &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;one to Asia&lt;/span&gt;, one to Europe and one to the United States,” he said. “And if I had more children, I would send &lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;one to the UAE&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270221966496243026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 275px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SSOW9Kh4HVI/AAAAAAAAANQ/BPJOAocchik/s400/untitled.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;We provide advice on both sides of the balance sheet, and we do it globally.

According to the ad Geo TV network would telecast a drama serial by the name of “Habibi Habiba” from 20th October. In this ad a man and a woman are shown to be dancing and holding each other while the text reads: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Markazi khayal, mabni barqissa Hazrat Yousuf (A.S.)”(i.e. central theme taken from the story of Hazrat Yousuf (A.S.) )&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;This is not the first time Geo network has aired programme attacking Islam and Muslims. It is the very network which provides daily air-time to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Voice of America (VoA)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for US propaganda. And it is the same network which proudly screens obscene Indian films in its bid to promote Hindu culture in Pakistan. All this is carried out under the watchful eye of the government and PEMRA (Pakistan’s Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) which shows that the network has full government support for its ongoing war on Islam and Muslims. However, the current act of Tauheen-e-Risalat (blasphemy) which is geared towards linking our sacred and holy Prophets with obscene plays and immoral pictures has surpassed all its previous ills. Does Geo think that it can openly commit these acts of blasphemy in a Muslims majority country? Do the owners and administrators of the Geo network have no fear of the punishment of the Day of Judgment? We demand from the government and PEMRA to stop Geo from airing this blasphemous drama serial.

The UN invites all Member States, organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals to commemorate this day in an appropriate manner that contributes to raising public awareness. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;So let us do our part for some real awareness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Irony at its best: The UN seeks to promote democracy, where as in structure as well as operational procedures, it fundamentally eschews the very notion it prides to preach. With the veto power residing in the handful of - imperial – members of the Security Council, the UN continues to prove to be a well crafted tool serving as an extension to the foreign policy of the western capitalist states. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;It was used to consolidate Israel’s existence, yet when it comes to the brutal oppression unleashed on the Palestinians, it has only token condemnations resolutions of Israel to offer, which too get vetoed. It was quick to assist independence of East Timor, but when it comes to the plight of Kashmiris, it only has to offer a paper statement calling for right to self-determination, which on the ground has no effect; little wonder, that in the recent demonstrations held in Kashmir, one huge banner read, “&lt;em&gt;Ban Ki-moon where are you?&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The UN gave a green signal to colonial powers, to conduct a rampage in Afghanistan, thereby shattering the lives of millions in one of the world’s poorest countries. And to add salt to the injury, it every now and then shows its abstract benevolence, by condemning civilian casualties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;For years, the UN sanctions devastated the lives of countless people in Iraq. And while the UN apparently extended its so called support through oil-for-food program, millions of Iraqi children died due to malnutrition and disease. The program itself later turned out to be a mere lucrative business venture for some in the seats at this international institution. Further UN was effectively utilized to undermine Iraq’s military strength, which subsequently paved the way for a swift US occupation of the oil rich region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Today the evolving geopolitics has proven that when vested interests of powerful states contradict international laws, the former leads the way. In effect, global institutions, the likes of United Nations, are used to further hegemony of capitalist powers, and if they at any point act as a barrier, the rules are simply broken.Given such a track record of the UN, it’s of pinnacle importance for the Muslim world, to realize that placing its eggs in the UN-basket, will neither help them hatch nor boil. If the Muslim world genuinely seeks to solve the plethora of problems it faces - from Kashmir to Palestine - the only viable option for it is to reestablish a Caliphate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The Caliphate, will serve as the much needed ‘Core-state’ of the Muslim civilization, the absence of which was highlighted as a significant drawback for the Muslim world, by Samuel P. Huntington in “&lt;em&gt;Clash of Civilizations&lt;/em&gt;”. It will swiftly seek to unify Muslim lands, in order to effectively and collectively utilize its resources: minerals, human capital and military. And in pursuit of implementing, and projecting an alternative better model of governance, economics, and foreign policy etc, as emanating from the Islamic ideology, it will seek to dismantle both the influence and status of imperial capitalist tools like the UN, IMF and World bank etc. This will need both defiance and resilience; coupled with a focused campaign to expose the hypocritical nature of these international institutions towards the weak countries, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. This in turn will help muster support from other countries, such as those in Latin America, who share the same grievances against such imperial institutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Radically challenging to the current international status quo, the coming of such a state, and its unique political maneuvers is not idealistic romanticism; belittling it, however, is myopic generality akin to Francis Fukuyama's “&lt;em&gt;End of History and the Last Man&lt;/em&gt;”(1992).The recent developments in the Russian conflict, gives an indicator towards the fault lines in alliance of developed countries as well as the limitness of the UN in the face of vested interests of powerful states. As retaliation to US backed Georgian aerial bombardment of Tskhinvali in South Ossetia, Russia aggressively responded. As the armed conflict subdued, Russia has made move towards official recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, two breakaway regions of Georgia. At the recent emergency summit in Brussels, although the 27 EU governments agreed to support Georgia. However political opinion remained divided on the issue of sanctions, as UK, advocated sanctions, where as Spain, Italy, and Germany opposed it; due to their own commercial and energy interests with Russia. The bottom line is, that only the pursuit of independent policies, ensures that any state achieves the fulfillment of its interests. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The reemergence of the Caliphate state, in the international theater, is the only way by which the Muslim world, can break free from the strings of the puppeteers that manipulate it; and hence, once again begin to write its own script , just as it once did for centuries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-4579611891130644060?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/4579611891130644060/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/10/un-international-day-of-democracy.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/4579611891130644060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/4579611891130644060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/10/un-international-day-of-democracy.html' title='U.N. : International Day of Democracy - Excuse Me??'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SOO1fq1FV_I/AAAAAAAAAJo/ke9pVSrXc9A/s72-c/DoD.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-1110476714971309754</id><published>2008-08-20T18:55:00.012+06:00</published><updated>2008-08-20T19:24:02.346+06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lahore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lodges'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freemasons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kipling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rudyard'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki khalid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='masonic lodges'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='history'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='order'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rudyard kipling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='khalid'/><title type='text'>MASONIC LODGES IN PAKISTAN : A Historical Analysis [Part I]</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwXRWRJDtI/AAAAAAAAAHc/K0boL7-ZZ5A/s1600-h/Lodges+in+Pakistan.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236586053527736018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwXRWRJDtI/AAAAAAAAAHc/K0boL7-ZZ5A/s400/Lodges+in+Pakistan.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Would it be of any surprise to you if you found out that there are still some operational Masonic lodges here in Pakistan?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, as a matter of fact, this claim is a reality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236586743071815362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwX5fBQtsI/AAAAAAAAAHk/V8IWsWECXvI/s320/lighthimalayas.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Though European Freemasonry already grabbed hold of the Indian area of the Subcontinent soil during the early part of the 18th century such as in Goa and Calcutta, it was not until a few decades afterwards that the first Masonic lodge found its home in Rawalpindi. The name of the lodge was "&lt;em&gt;Light in the Himalayas&lt;/em&gt;" and it was under the headship of the notorious Grand Lodge of Scotland. For those who already have done research on this vast subject before, they might be familiar with the fact that Scotland is also known as the "Headquarters of Occultism". It's the very place wherein centuries ago, the Knights Templars or "Knights of the Temple of Solomon" found their home. The Knights were actually the descendants of the last remaining Crusader forces, who by the course of time distanced themselves far-off from the teachings of Christianity and started engaging in ultra-esoteric i.e. Satanic activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236587199224788658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwYUCUmtrI/AAAAAAAAAHs/z3AOtabPIms/s320/grandlodgepunjab.jpg" border="0" /&gt;The first Grand Lodge of London had been formed circa 1716 C.E. In less than twenty years after that, Freemasonry found new homes in the Indian subcontinent. One of the most ancient overseas lodges was established in the city of Calcutta, present day India. It was named as the Order of the Star in the East, Lodge No. 67. According to authentic Masonic records of the Grand Lodge of U.K., the overseas movement of the English and Scottish Masonic lodges was strongest in South Africa, India and (pre-partition) Pakistan. The District Grand Lodge of Punjab was established somewhere near the end of the 18th century. Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener, who was a British Army General and statesman, was a member of the British Union Lodge No. 114 in Ipswich, England. He had also maintained headship of the District Grand Lodge of Punjab before his retirement. &lt;strong&gt;[1]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This topic is extremely diverse and is spread over centuries of recorded events. Due to limited space and due relevance, I will restrict my research to pre-partition India and modern-day Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236587530599033650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwYnUyYazI/AAAAAAAAAH0/_OqMERFfLoM/s320/stewartlodge.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Other famous lodges in Rawalpindi were the Stewart Lodge No. 1960 E.C. and the Black Mountain Lodge No. 1256. The former was under British headship and the latter was headed by a Scottish Grand Master. There is not enough information given about the Stewart lodge, but according to a Masonic traveller's blog, one of the previous Grand Masters of the Black Mountain lodge of Rawalpindi was a person by the name of Yogendra Prakash Suri. He had become a member of that lodge in 1946 and has been an active Mason ever since. Yogendra Prakash is currently a member of the Lodge Rock of Gwalior No. 16 in Jhansi, India. But that means even after independence, there were many lodges that were operating in the new homeland of Muslims. &lt;strong&gt;[2]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236588504503795458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwZgA3XvwI/AAAAAAAAAH8/ry9F9sQHCVA/s320/Hope%2BPerseverance.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236588940224668850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwZ5YDUpLI/AAAAAAAAAIE/5PrDw7QoLaE/s320/Quaid-e-Azam_Library_in_Jinnah_Garden.jpg" border="0" /&gt;The Mughalite city of Lahore was also not free of sinister set-ups. One of the first lodges were set up here by Rudyard Kipling (world-famous author of "The Jungle Book") and his associates, which was known as the "Order of Hope &amp;amp; Perseverance No. 782". In my view and according to my basic assumption after careful geographical surfing through Google Earth, the Order of Hope &amp;amp; Perseverance was most probably either the lodge that was recently renovated by Shaukat Aziz near the Lahore Zoo to be used as his office or the former Shah Din Palace opposite Punjab Assembly Building which later came under British control and most probably got transformed into a Masonic lodge, as it's designs suggest, which feature stately Roman columns and pillars. The building is now owned by Bank Al-Falah Limited. Rudyard Kipling has also been recorded as often delivering lectures and contemporary Masonic speeches especially his famous speech on "Origin of the Craft First Degree" at another lodge in Lahore known as the Fidelity Mark Lodge after his Masonic rank was raised to that of "Mark Degree" on April 12, 1887 because of his special contributions and monetary fundings to the lodge. Amazingly on the same day, his membership degree was simultaneously also raised at a higher place at Mount Ararat Mark Mariners Lodge, also situated in Lahore &lt;strong&gt;[3]&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is what he had to say about his activities in Lahore. The following appeared in the London Times on January 16, 1925:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;I was Secretary for some years of Hope and Perseverance Lodge No. 782, E.C. Lahore which included Brethren of at least four creeds. I was entered by a member of Bramo Somaj, a Hindu; passed by a Mohammedan, and raised by an Englishman. Our Tyler was an Indian Jew. We met, of course, on the level, and the only difference anyone would notice was that at our banquets, some of the Brethren, who were debarred by caste from eating food not ceremonially prepared, sat over empty plates&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236589528053554802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SKwabl4pnnI/AAAAAAAAAIM/EjIGqP0W0Fw/s320/roselahore.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Now comes the interesting part. Not only the Freemasons, but their other most important subfaction, otherwise known as the "Royal British Order" known as the "Order of Rosicrucians" also established their centre here in Lahore. But it's control was given to the French offshoot of the organization which was aptly titled "Rosecroix (Rose-Cross) Chapter: The Rose of Lahore No. 28" &lt;strong&gt;[4]&lt;/strong&gt;. Furthermore, what is even most interesting, is that despite being under French headship, the Grand Master of this lodge happened to be Scottish. "Rose-Cross" is a special symbolic meaning used to denote the so-called "fact" that a woman by the name of 'Mary Magdalene' had married Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) and bore children (Allah forbid). The family who claim to be their descendants are the famous "Sinclair" family of Europe who are also widespread in the U.S. on key positions. Now, this whole "Rose-Cross" phenomenon is based upon "Rosslyn (Rose-Line) Chapel" as mentioned in my previous article, which to this day houses centuries old dead Knights Templars and remains as a permanent symbol of Templar presence in the U.K. Dan Brown had based his "Da Vinci Code" upon these very assumptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An interesting point to be noted here is that the Sinclairs have an old history of friendship and close association with the Rothschild banking dynasty. My assumption here is that this is another direct proof that the Rothschilds had bases here in Pakistan before its partition and could most possibly have played direct or indirect influential roles in the Subcontinet's geopolitics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People from Pakistan are very familiar with the famous NCA (National College of Arts), formerly known as the "Mayo College of Arts". Well, for your information, the first Principal of this historical institution was Lockwood Kipling, who coincidentally happens to be Rudyard Kipling's father. Lockwood Kipling was also at the same time the Curator of the Lahore Museum. This is what Wikipedia has to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;European designs in building and furniture and the rise of the furniture firms brought bad times for the Punjabi carpenter (i.e. Lockwood Kipling) once, reputed among the cleverest in the world.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Among the notable places wherein artistic/renovatory works were carried out by the institute's workers specifically in Pakistan include:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Government House (Lahore)&lt;br /&gt;Execution of decorative work including carpets and shamianas of gold thread and repusse metal work and designs for the Law and Oriental Colleges (Lahore)&lt;br /&gt;Design and decorative work in plaster for the new Railway Theatre (Lahore)&lt;br /&gt;A carved console table for Government House (Lahore)&lt;br /&gt;An eight-canon stall for the Lefroy Memorial in Lahore Cantonment’s Church&lt;br /&gt;Lockwood Kipling remained as the Principal between 1875-1894.&lt;br /&gt;Rudyard Kipling had set the backdrop of the Lahore Museum for his novel 'Kim' &lt;strong&gt;[5]&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Below is the link to a recent video excerpted from the Rogers TV archive. The most notable part of the video is where a specific individual Mr. Kamil Sadiq standing alongside his wife (Pakistani) and British Mason friends proudly and boldly announces (something like): "&lt;em&gt;I feel proud to be the Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge of Pakistan&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnvzyFv143M&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnvzyFv143M&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know what this means? Tthe video was recorded live in 2007. So that means even at that time, the Freemasons were active in Pakistan. I believe that this person Kamil Sadiq is related to the very same Nazir Bhatti of the Pakistan Christian Congress of whom I have mentioned in detail in my previous article '&lt;a href="http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/08/masonic-uprising-in-pakistan.html"&gt;Masonic Uprising In Pakistan'&lt;/a&gt; and hence is another mastermind behind destabilizing Pakistan. Allah Knows Best!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Be Continued...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insha'Allah Part II of this topic will be compiled and uploaded soon.&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFERENCES:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[1]&lt;/strong&gt; Grand Lodges of UK - Notable Masons List.

And believe me, I myself have been doing extensive thorough research on this topic for quite some time now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a fact that during his teenage youth the Quaid had gone to the U.K. for higher studies. And he graduated with distiction from Lincoln's Inn, later to be called to the bar at 11 Kings Bench Walk during his stay at Hampstead. The Quaid, while still in the U.K., had also eagerly joined the notorious "&lt;em&gt;Fabian Soc&lt;/em&gt;iety", a reformist-Socialist party whose members included Freemasons George Bernard Shaw and Annie Besant, to name a few. In fact, the official Theosophical Order of Service in Pakistan records that the Quaid was so deeply inspired and influenced by Besant that he called her as "&lt;em&gt;Amma&lt;/em&gt;" (mother) [Source: The Theosophical Order of Service, Karachi, Pakistan. Managed by Jamshed Mirza]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annie Besant was world-renowned Theosophist and the founder of Co-Freemasonry, an irregular branch of Masonry which included participation of women equally with men in all the rituals and rites that the Order possessed. Annie Besant was herself influenced by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the "&lt;em&gt;Black Woman&lt;/em&gt;" (black in the sense of character) who wrote the esoteric voluminous works such as "&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Isis Unveiled&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" and "&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;The Secret Doctrine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the Quaid, being a man of great knowledge and repute as we do consider him to be, must have known about the gathering in which he was. But it is notable to mention here that he soon parted ways with Besant, some years after she had formed the Home Rule League in India, an exact subcontinental replica of the Irish Home League which she also very repeatedly supported.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the Quaid not know what sort of woman Annie Besant was? Probably he realised this later and hence, as mentioned earlier, parted ways with her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll go a little bit more back in history from here to the time when the Quaid was struggling to get Dadabhoy Naoroji elected as an MP at Central Finsbury. Naoroji was not only an orthodox Parsi priest ("&lt;em&gt;Athurman&lt;/em&gt;") but also had written various volumes of work on Zoroastrian history and wisdom [Source: Wikipedia]. He was also a Freemason, member of both Lodge Southern Brotherhood No. 3311 E.C. and the Lodge South Cannanore No. 234.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's little chance of the Quaid having known of Naoroji's Masonic connections because even in those days, such identities were extremely hidden and secret, away from public knowledge, only to be rarely discovered in the same years or in the coming future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Quaid included among his friends Mr. Ebrahim Currimbhoy, another Freemason and member of the Lodge Cannanore No. 234.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a little known fact that the Quaid was a Khoja Ismaili by birth, which means his spiritual leader i.e. Imam was the Agha Khan. In those days, it was Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah Agha Khan. And again interestingly enough, the Agha Khan of that time was a member of the Grand Lodge of India A.F. &amp;amp; A.M. (Bombay). Though accounts of the Quaid's driver Abdul Hayy do state that he was not a very religious Muslim, there is a good reason to believe that somehow or the other the Quaid must have been influenced by his "&lt;em&gt;Imam&lt;/em&gt;". There was a case upon which I stumbled a few months ago, wherein it was stated that upon the Quaid's death, Fatima Jinnah had gone to the Court to get the Quaid's wealth divided according to Ismaili Law. She was assisted by Liaquat Ali Khan. But like the present Iqbal Waljee, some other Waljee (probably the present's ancestor) at the time had rejected such an act because according to him "&lt;em&gt;Jinnah had converted to Sunni Islam in 1901&lt;/em&gt;" and hence his Will could not have been announced according to Jafari jurisprudence. Allah Knows Best!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This case alone is interesting because we all know that the Agha Khan was the only Muslim leader who was given the Guard of Honor and the Royal Salute by the British Army because of his countless services to the British Raj. So then why would a faithful Britisher want to, on the other hand, help in the formation of Pakistan which was totally against the British interests? What benefits did he foresee which led to his being elected as the first President of the Muslim League and as the Chairman of the team that went to meet Lord Minto? Allah Knows Best.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Ali Brothers (Maulana Johar Ali &amp;amp; Maulana Shaukat Ali) started the Khilafat Movement in 1919, with the 'helpful assistance' of Mohandas Gandhi, the Quaid was personally opposed to the "&lt;em&gt;religious fanaticism&lt;/em&gt;" that followed and though he still admired the British progress, he in part remained neutral because at the end it was a matter of the Muslim Ummah as a collective whole, not just a nation-state (Turkey) that was at stake, with the "&lt;em&gt;Hijaz-e-Muqaddas&lt;/em&gt;" (Sacred/Holy Sites) in danger of being controlled or demolished (Allah forbid) by the Imperialist regime of Britain and her Allies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Allama Sir Dr. Muhammad Iqbal who had written quite many letters of persuasion to the Quaid to come to India:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;I know you are a busy man but I do hope you won't mind my writing to you often, as you are the only Muslim in India today to whom the community has right to look up for safe guidance through the storm which is coming to North-West India and, perhaps, to the whole of India&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Quaid's repeated links with the Zoroastrians of India is also interesting. His wife Rattanbai was a Parsi who had converted to Islam before marriage. The man who the Quaid had helped for a long time was a Parsi intellect (Dadabhoy). And it was the Quaid's own daughter Dina who had married Dinshaw Vadia, the son of a renowned Parsi industrialist of India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, whatver the cases filed may be, no one can disprove the facts that not only countless Muslims had to go through lots of troubles and bloodshed, even the Quaid himself along with his family had to endure seams of harassment and criticism because they were destined to create an Islamic state of Pakistan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can never truly realize or feel the immense amount of pressure and blackmail that the Quaid must have faced form the Britishers and the West, especially from the Israeli lobbies and the Jews. Lord Balfour must have surely gone mad when an Islamic state by the name of "Pakistan" came into formation a year before that of a Jewish state!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was the Quaid himself who said that Israel was "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the illegitimate child of the West&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;". Such was the Quaid's passion. Similarly on Liaquat Ali Khan, this is what Wikipedia has to say:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a document declassified in 2006, USA was involved in the killing of Liaqat Ali Khan, then prime minister of Pakistan. Liaqat Ali Khan had refused to dance on US tunes. The type of bullet used to kill the Pakistani prime minister were in "use by high-ranking American officers", and were "&lt;em&gt;not usually available in the market&lt;/em&gt;" [Reference: "&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Declassified Papers Shed Light on US Role in Liaquat's Murder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" by Syed Rashid]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, when Liaquat Ali Khan had gone to the States and had been given a lavish reception by the Jewish leaders and also great offers and invitations, he straight-forwardly refused and rejected all of them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I'm a Sunni Muslim and the Quaid was an Ismaili and Liaquat Ali Khan was also a Sunni, I believe in Allah's Potency to do anything whenver He Wants. Thorugh the astound personalities of the Quaid and Liaquat Ali Khan, Allah gave a sea of blessings to the Muslims of the time, even to us. It is Allah Who let us create a nation state in the name of Islam, so that in the future the Army of Imam Mahdi can rise from here too, apart from Afghanistan (Allah Knows Best). That age was surely one in which sectarian outlook was not the sight of the leaders... the true "&lt;em&gt;General&lt;/em&gt;" Islam was the light by which those men saw.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as far as I'm concerned, to be very honest, I have not come across a single source which has definite provocative proof that the Quaid was a Freemason. He had truly felt motivated to furthermore spearhead the Muslim Community's aims to establish a nation state in the name of Islam. All the Masonic hierarchies are bound to the Grand Masonic Arch in Israel i.e. Zionists. And if the Quaid were a Freemason, would his fellow "Obedient Brothers" have allowed him to create a state that was fundamentally opposed to Zionist interests? I don't think so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Allah Knows Best.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;IMPORTANT CORRIGENDUM:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I regret mentioning that &lt;em&gt;Shaheed-e-Millat &lt;/em&gt;(Martyr of the Nation) Liaquat Ali Khan was a Shi'a. &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;He was a devout and disciplined Sunni Muslim&lt;/span&gt;. Wikipedia had mentioned earlier that L.A. Khan adhered to the Shi'a thought, which I never bothered confirming. Though they had this piece of info removed later on. Anyways, L.A. Khan's grandson corrected me, for which I am indeed very thankful, and apologise again. May Allah Grant Jannah to both &lt;em&gt;Quaid e Azam&lt;/em&gt; Muhammad Ali Jinnah and &lt;em&gt;Shaheed-e-Millat&lt;/em&gt; Liaquat Ali Khan.

These allegations are very often true and I must confess that some of us Muslims do occasionally take advantage of our majority-status, but recent unfoldings from history and the present have got something else to say: a very sinister plot that is in the making by Nazir Bhatti and gang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not believe in any kind of biased hatred, or any hatred at all, towards any religion. It is only a selected few of the hierarchy, who don’t actually represent the religion’s interests, against whom I raise my voice. For Allah The Almighty states in The Qur’an:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant”&lt;/em&gt; [Al-Maeda]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we advance any further, it is important that the readers have a brief understanding of who the Knights Templars are. Their relevance to the topic will be discussed onwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE PAST:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1099 C.E. when Pope Urban II had declared an all-out Crusade against the Muslims and Jews in Palestine, some of the men among those who were fighting included specific people who labeled themselves as the “Poor Soldiers of the Army of Jesus”. Later on, these were the very people who renamed themselves as the “Knights Templars” or “Knights of the Temple of Solomon”. They were heretic and as time passed, after their successful and bloody conquest of Jerusalem, they created an enclave beneath the Dome of the Rock. There, they started practicing black magic, other forms of sorcery, paid tributes to Lucifer i.e. Iblees, uttered mystical words most possibly from the books of the Kabbalah (so-called Judaic Sufism) and sacrificed animals and humans for their dark rituals and rites. Most disgusting of all is the fact that these very people also were heavily engaged in the filthy acts of sodomy. They occasionally hosted orgies and sexual functions of the like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229853329265975602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SJQr5N5K4TI/AAAAAAAAAFI/0PHZDli1gQc/s320/monk.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;In 1314 Pope Clement V declared all the Templars as heretics to Christianity ordering all their properties to be seized. Their nefarious leader, Jacques de Molay, was captured and burnt at the stake. After these events, these Knights Templars went underground, working only from the shadows of others. A time came when Robert The Bruce, who was then a freedom-fighter for the independence of Scotland from England took advantage of the Templars’ tactics and sinister profile. He called upon the Templars to ally themselves with him and in turn avail the open opportunity to defeat the English. And so, the Templars did ally with the Scots and their meagre army of 6500 men shamefully defeated the grand English Army that comprised of 25,000 men at the time. But that was not it. They established control over the whole monarchy through secretive means and deployed their own men on high positions of the aristocracy. From that moment onwards, they have been burying all their deceased members at Rosslyn Chapel (pronounced ‘Rose-line Chapel), which to this day stands as a grand symbol of their everlasting presence in the U.K. From their stared the Order of the Rosicrucians, a sub-faction of the “Freemasons” another new secretive name these people had chosen for themselves later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The death of Queen Elizabeth I left the English Throne without an heir (successor). So upon bloodline basis, it was King James V who was destined to become the King of England. He was form Scotland. That meant the total control of the Freemasons (those same Knights Templars) was on the Throne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LETTER OF ALBERT PIKE TO MAZZINI, 1871&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229853921576058850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SJQsbsa5f-I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/l4neryM0UaM/s200/471px-Albert_Pike_-_Brady-Handy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Albert Pike was an American Civil War General and also the founder of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the US. It was he who had sent a detailed letter to Italian General Giuseppe Mazzini in which he had stated how World War III was to be created. In his own words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion...We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Ref: “Occult Theocracy” by Edith Star Miller”]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above quotation was noted also by famous writer and Ex-Navy Officer William Guy Carr, most noted for his voluminous work “Pawns in The Game”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what we see here is that these agentur have no concern in mind for Christianity at all too. We come to realize at the end is that all these hierarchies have no connection to any sort of religion at all, because their whole belief and power of the occult is based upon atheism. Paradoxically, that atheism does believe in an entity… and that is Lucifer (Iblees).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Christian and Muslim representatives of the elite class, if not all then some, are not sincere or devoted to the so-called “religion” that they claim to represent. No wonder that the Western media outlets, 90% of which are controlled by Jews, always show demoralizing and demeaning video of certain Catholic priests who are known to be pedophiles for decades. All the Popes who ever came after Pope Urban II were deployed by the Knights Templars themselves. The Vatican is also called as one of the main centres of Freemasonry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RELATION TO PAKISTAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Now comig to the point, Nazir Bhatti, who is the editor of the Pakistan Christian Post, is Pakistan’s “&lt;em&gt;First Knight of the Grand Priory of Pakistan of the Knights Templars of Scotland&lt;/em&gt;”. If you do not believe this, you can visit the website yourself: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;www.pakistanchristianpost.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229854265745285826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SJQsvujPIsI/AAAAAAAAAFY/ty3nvRFI0HQ/s320/Dr_Nazir_S_Bhatti.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Furthermore, old and new editions of the Christian Post also feature registration cards at the end for “&lt;em&gt;members to join the Grand Priory&lt;/em&gt;”. Below is an eerie and conspicuous excerpt taken form the “&lt;em&gt;International Social Pulse&lt;/em&gt;” magazine, dated October 2006:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"TRIAL OF PAKISTAN CHRISTIAN NATION"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following is the fact that Dr. Bhatti is inviting converted Muslims to join Grand Priory of Pakistan of Knights Templar of Scotland by filling the Forms at the end of this page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But first read about Knights Templar. Nazir Bhatti ranked as First Knight From Pakistan and appointed as Grand Prior of Grand Priory of Pakistan. Nazir Bhatti to be first Knight and Grand Prior of Grand Priory of Pakistan of Knights Templar of Scotland order. PCP Report.&lt;br /&gt;Scotland. March 7. The five Scottish Knights Templar who shall convene Mr. Bhatti, a Knight by proxy to be a member of the clan, William McGrath, shall knight Mr. Nazir s Bhatti, Editor of Pakistan Christian Post and Founder of Pakistan Christian Congress in a ceremony at Linlithgow Palace in Scotland tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Nazir s Bhatti shall be installed as the Grand Prior of the Grand Priory of Pakistan with the rank of knight Grand Officer. This was announced by Chev. James Reese, The knight and Knight Grand Officer of the Grand Priory of the USA. Chev. Reese further stated that the Grand Prior have sanctioned installation of Mr. Nazir s Bhatti as Knight who is General of our Order, His Sovereign Excellency James P. McGrath, who is also Secretary General of the Confederation of Scottish Knights Templar. The Cross of the Order will be given to Mr. Bhatti after the noon of Saturday, tomorrow, blessed by his sovereign excellency James P. McGrath in a recreated ceremony here in USA shortly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a message to Mr. Nazir s Bhatti &lt;em&gt;"I offer you my heartiest congratulations . . . many are called, but few are chosen. You, Brother Nazir, have been brought to us by the Holy Spirit, and you have been justified by faith" Chev. Reese said The message further read " We are all lovers of peace, but know that you are now a part of a Christian Order that could not be destroyed by any foe. May your fellow Christians take heart that the Templar banner will now fly in Pakistan"? In a message to Mr. Nazir S Bhatti, The Chevalier Rev. Lehman Smith, KCTJ, Secretary, Priory of the Holy Angels said, "What an important post and responsibility you now have in your homeland. You have been thrusted in a hot LZ for Christians and I pray that your new post will be successful and safe! I would like to extend a warm welcome to our old order and my assistance to you whenever you need it. You are not alone; you are surrounded by close brethren in pursuit of a common cause”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Source: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cephasministry.com/news_pulse_10.2006.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.cephasministry.com/news_pulse_10.2006.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now these events have been clearly unfolding now, two years after his coronation. I would also like to focus your attention to another interesting letter written by a certain convert “John Taimoor”, who is the founder of a California-based ministry known as “Crossbearers”. It was addressed to Nazir Bhatti and published on their Christian Post website. Carefully read the excerpts below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Gradually and progressively, I understood the plan of God and experienced the power of His Holy Spirit. Then the Master said, &lt;strong&gt;"Claim Pakistan for Me for I died to ransom every Pakistani at the Cross."&lt;/strong&gt; He showed me the unseen powers and principalities that had held the Pakistani people captive. Nowhere on earth Satan and his demons exert such a powerful control. It is Pakistan where the Devil is in details."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Biblically speaking, &lt;strong&gt;Pakistan is ready for the harvest&lt;/strong&gt;. Evangelistically speaking, the harvest is for short period. We must harvest now or else it will go bad. PTL for God has chosen us, you and me for the harvest time such as this.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Islamacising has failed. This nation is gone in to a decaying mode. So called moderate Islamic government of Musharaf is replaced by by the fanatic feudal lords, Nawabs and Pirs, setting stage for more intense spiritual warfare. &lt;strong&gt;Thanks in part to shortsighted diplomacy and abundant investment of Americans and European marketers. Spiritual warfare in Pakistan is not only an option but urgent but imminent.&lt;/strong&gt; The anarchy and Mullacracy will collapse when we, the redeemed recognize who we are in Christ and depend on Divine recourses!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The visions of the Lord are usually for the appointed time. The hour of Christ's vision for Pakistan has come. &lt;strong&gt;This realization is taking place and its fulfillment has begun&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;[Source: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/lettertoeditor.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/lettertoeditor.php&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a poll on the same website which is still underway, about 85% of Christians and other groups demand a separate Christian province, to be formed at the south-western area of Punjab, as propounded by Nazir Bhatti in his letter to the UNO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia: July 24, 2008:&lt;/strong&gt; Nazir S Bhatti, Founder President of Pakistan Christian Congress urged Pakistan Armed Forces to end operation in Balochistan and act against religious extremists in tribal areas who are challenged to writ of government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Bhatti added, &lt;em&gt;“It is need of time to divide Pakistan in federal units of Balochistan, Sindh, Seraki, Pushtoon, Hazara and Christian provinces”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Christian Separate Province in south western parts of Punjab is only solution to save Pakistan”&lt;/em&gt; Bhatti said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where Nazir Bhatti so very boldly declared all his plans and ideas to the mass public, he also stated:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Christians support Baloch nation of their right of self-determination and demands of Seraki, Pushtoon and Hazara nations rights and expect their moral support for Separate Christian Province”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly speaking, that saying of Nazir Bhatti was actually a propaganda threat. Could the leader of the Christian Community of Pakistan be behind the support of all the so-called “liberation movements” that are ever-increasing among the Balochis and Saraikis? Allah Knows Best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep this fact in mind that Nazir Bhatti had also personally interviewed Mir Azaad Khan Baloch. To underline some of the ongoing propagandas on behalf of the Paksitan Christian Congress, kindly go through this “poem” written by the PCC to the Baloch leadership:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Salute to the Tiger of Balochistan.

They are targeting general Muslims as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;After going through all the material above, I hope you have got a good glimpse of what is taking place and what is under the making for the future in Pakistan. All these latest suicide bombings and blasts are mostly, if not all, according to my view, being carried out by the Baloch Liberation Organization and related parties. It is probably not their fault but most are furiously instigated and “mind-fed” by the agents of the PCC, who are giving them false support. Allah Knows Best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I can say is that as mentioned above, I believe &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;MASONIC CONTROL IS AT RISING IN PAKISTAN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; at a very abrupt pace.

I didn't have any graduate degrees with me but with the references of my elder cousin brother, I soon got a job at a legal-services firm by the name of "The Western Standard" situated in Cavalry Ground, Lahore. I was to work only 2 weeks there as a legal transcripter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I came to know directly during this short period, was that the owner of that firm (my boss) was a very nice individual by the name of Dr. Amir. What's so cool about him? Well, turns out he is one of the children of GEO TV's owner. GEO also has shares in stock markets. Obviously, if one purchases 51% of the shares of a particular company, he's practically it's owner and hence obviously he gets to direct its future policies and business handling techniques. Same was the case with Dr. Amir. By the course of time, his father had bought more than 51% of GEO's shares and hence became it's owner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After careful questioning every now and then, I got to learn more about his personality. He was a slim person, sporting a French beard, with a bald head and tons and tons of wealth. Though he never boasted about his richness in front of me and the other employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Amir was not a medical doctor. He had obtained his Doctorate in International Business &amp;amp; Marketing from the London Metropolitan University years back. Because of knowledge since Matriculation days about the nefarious activities of the secret Freemasons and their associated societies, I questioned him regarding the Freemasons, to which he coolly replied to me with the following words: "&lt;em&gt;You know what, some of my best colleagues and friends in the University were &lt;strong&gt;Freemasons&lt;/strong&gt; themselves&lt;/em&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This statement had shocked me till the nerve, but today as I write this little article, I come to realise that it isn't necessary that if a person has Masons as friends, he's a Mason too or he's influenced by them. But anyways, the thought was constantly encroaching on my mind that I had to investigate more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came to know, furthermore, that his elder sister was the Managing Director of the GEO Network based in Islamabad. In those days, the news was still hot that "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;POLICE ENTERED AND BOMBARDED GEO TV'S ISLAMABAD OFFICE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;". I asked Dr. Amir a few days later about the whole incident. He replied again, in that cool tone: "The Government and Musharraf compensated us for the loss by paying us lots of money" To which I replied: "Is that it? You agreed just at that one point?" He nodded and shrugged hopelessly, which suggested to me that the whole incident was just some kind of a topi drama (false-play) aimed at "stupidizing" (a new word I've coined) the masses. A few days, I came to know that Dr. Amir's younger sibling was planning to launch a kids channel by the name of "Wikkid TV".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just some memory imprints. I can only guess what the real intentions of GEO are. Anyways, Allah Knows Best!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. After a few days, I felt uncomfortable and decided on not going to the office thereafter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-3983024821222155417?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/3983024821222155417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/07/something-fishy-about-geo-tv-network.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/3983024821222155417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/3983024821222155417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/07/something-fishy-about-geo-tv-network.html' title='Something Fishy About The GEO TV Network'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-3319735864955044633</id><published>2008-07-14T15:15:00.003+06:00</published><updated>2008-07-14T15:21:10.741+06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lahore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freemasons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ireland'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='times'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dublin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki khalid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan times'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='khalid'/><title type='text'>::The Freemasons - Publication ::</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SHsZmUBBtyI/AAAAAAAAAEA/279La7KZNGU/s1600-h/THE+FREEMASONS+LOGO.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222796338864961314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="224" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SHsZmUBBtyI/AAAAAAAAAEA/279La7KZNGU/s400/THE+FREEMASONS+LOGO.JPG" width="481" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;My latest article "The Freemasons" is a compilation of translated pieces on the history of this secret society.

I am doing a Faculty of Science in Engineering.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from the usual bores of Physics, Maths and Chemistry, obviously we also have to learn English. Alhamdulillah, I don't have any kind of problems with my syllabi, which is quite diverse, but interesting...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The compilation of selected stories for our English Reader book was undertaken by the Punjab Textbook Board, Lahore, the highest-ranking academic board in Pakistan with respect to it's pioneering efforts to "spread teachings of all kind".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book has been divided in two segments: Stories/Essays and Heroes. Interestingly, the second chapter in the book is an essay titled "Using the Scientific Method".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chapter basically outlines the fact that science "...is solely responsible for creating easiness and benefits of all kinds in daily life, such as sanitation, better food, technology, etc.". I must agree with the basic claim, but come on, does science in any way teach man the basic moralities so urgently required for today's morally-decaying world? No!&lt;br /&gt;I, for one, can understand the intent for publishing such essays... brainwashing!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't care if I seem to sound ridiculous or overly conspicuous, but the harsh reality is a reality after all. The global elite, via the "United Nations", is trying to infiltrate through the world's educational syllabi, especially of those in the "third world countries", and shove in useless yet mind-tackling mixture and combination of words to appall the average reader. Some of my fellow collegiates, who are coming to terms for the first time with such complicated English, are amazed by the services that science has given to man.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Amazing!" said one, "this means that we are getting to learn about the modern methods used in America!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America, America... I don't know what is so "grandeur" in the US. Sure, it is a portion of us very Pakistanis who try to flock like sheep in line to immigrate themselves there, but why? Is money all that's left? Anyways, let's come back to the main issue of concern. Forgive me for drifting here every now and then.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MUSTAFA KAMAL - The "Great Reformer"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you'd have asked me 5 years ago about Mustafa Kamal, I would have replied in my early-teen age-of-no-knowledge that he was a very admirable and great Muslim hero. But now after reading in detail of what he did and how he did it, and especially why he did so, I can feel ever more of so much hatred and sickness towards him than ever.&lt;br /&gt;The "Heroes" section of our book has a specific lengthy chapter by the title mentioned in bold just above.&lt;br /&gt;Now, in what way was Mustafa Kamal a great reformer? To introduce a new script and style of pronunciation, to banish and ban the veil, to remove the Arabic script, to prohibit the sporting of beards, to prohibit the recitation of The Qur'an in public, to introduce secularism... what points of him are commendable? For some elite class Turks, he represents the "Ataturk" i.e. Father of the Turks. But for those like Hamza, Ali, Uthman, he is something else. They were three of a group of 10 or 11 men who had come to Pakistan from Turkey to get moral and religious training at the Tablighi Jamaat's central headquarters in Raiwind, Lahore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a most wonderful experience of meeting with them and having a conversation in some good detail for about an hour. I won't mention the basic talks, but when I asked them how they felt about Turkey's present i.e. as a secular state, they gloomly replied that the situation is worse than ever before. They wailed at how they get harassed by the state police for sporting long beards (like our Prophet (SAW)) and for reciting The Qur'an out loud. They also get stared upon as "weirdos" whenever they invite others to pray with them in a congregation. Such is the condition.&lt;br /&gt;Let me relate to you another event as related to me by a cousin who went to Turkey to take part in an inter-country football tournament. He was representing Pakistan, and coincidentally was sporting a beard. And most incidentally, so were the majority of his other fellow players. He told me that he practically had to wait for a whole hour in the airport terminal in Turkey because they were "suspicious" of his beard! Imagine! The once Seat of World Caliphate is now withering in it's own fate!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chillingly, the highly-reactive and up-to-date Turkish national state force and the Army are reminiscent of a not-so-distant Israeli counterpart. Both are similar in the sense that Israel attacks the Palestians, and the Turks attack the Kurds. Both armies practically control their respective nations. The Army has full monopolies in every major and minor field, just like the Israelis do. To be noted that the Israeli Army and the Knesset are practically the same thing. Israel is not a state with an army but rather an army with a state.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, how did radical ideology come about in Turkey? The answer is now getting ever more vididly comprehended. Let's forget about the concept of secularism for a while, as we Muslims know that separating religion from state is totally prohibited in Islam and is an act of taghoot (wicked disobedience) against Allah. It is only He Who is The Ruler of all The Worlds, hence only He is the Most Knowledgable and All-Wise, only He can provide the best system of governance (deen) for a particular world, like ours, which is nothing but a tiny speck of dust compared to the other endless worlds that are unknown to us and that exist out there. I'm not referring to galaxies, constellations... I'm referring to worlds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who was Mustafa Kamal? How did this average soldier and front-runner in the Army rise to such a high degree? As mentioned a bit in our syllabus, we are told that he was appointed by Sultan Abdul-Hameed II himself to take a deputation and visit the Allied Forces. But then, why did Kamal decide on betraying the Caliph? What was the reason behind this treachery... the answer lies deep in the scary dark, too monstrous and amazingly evil in proportions too tell, much of it still largely hidden... but here's a brief summary...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was another wretched Freemason. [1] He was a "Doenmeh" Jew (a rebellious and activist Jew) who had hidden himself under the guise of Islam, just like his ancestors who were given shelter by the then Caliph himself. But who was to know what this Jew had in mind. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Spanish Jew by ancestry, an orthodox Moslem by birth and breeding, trained in a German war college, a patriot, a student of the campaigns of the world's great generals, including Napoleon, Grant and Lee - these are said to be a few outstanding characteristics in the personality of the new "Man on Horseback" who has appeared in the Near East. He is a real dictator, the correspondents testify, a man of the type which is at once the hope and fear of nations torn to pieces by unsuccessful wars. Unity and power have come back to Turkey largely through the will of Mustafa Kemal Pasha....... There was the pasha himself, tall, still young, good-looking, narrow-hipped, wide-shouldered, with gray, rather sad eyes that spoke eloquently of his Spanish-Jewish ancestry - for Kemal, like Enver Pasha, tho an orthodox Moslem, is descended from those Spanish-Jewish families that, given by Christianity the tolerant choice between death, conversion and exile, found asylum and happiness in the Sultan's domains - and with strong, high-veined hands, broad and flat across the wrist - the hands of an artist, a dreamer, yet, too, those of a doer, a man who knows how to clout his dreams into facts. [2]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.....This was the origin of the most important group, numerically and historically, of Islamic Marranos. The faithful Mohammedans call these hidden Jews "doenmehs", the renegades. ..... Over the years the "doenmeh" movement became firmly established in Asia Minor. In the nineteenth century the sect was estimated to have twenty thousand members. Salonika remained its main seat until that city became Greek in 1913.The revolt of the Young Turks in 1908 against the authoritarian regime of Sultan Abdul Hamid began among the intellectuals of Salonika. It was from there that the demand for a constitutional regime originated. Among the leaders of the revolution which resulted in a more modern government in Turkey were Djavid Bey and Mustafa Kemal. Both were ardent "doenmehs". Djavid Bey became minister of finance; Mustafa Kemal became the leader of the new regime and he adopted the name of 'Ataturk'. His opponents tried to use his "doenmeh" background to unseat him, but without success. Too many of the Young Turks in the newly formed revolutionary Cabinet prayed to Allah, but had as their real prophet Shabtai Zvi, the Messiah of Smyrna. [3]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an article from the Israeli daily Haaretz:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Orly HalpernAubrey Ross is an unusual man with an unusual pastime. He's looking for Jewish Muslims. In Turkey. With the help of the Internet. And he's convinced he has found some.In a book entitled "The Messiah of Turkey," due to be published this winter by Frank Cass Publishers in Great Britain, Ross reveals that there are a number of key figures in the present government of Turkey who are Sabbateans - i.e., followers of Shabbtai Tzvi, a Jew who, in the 17th century, claimed he was the messiah, God of Israel, and later converted to Islam.Ross, an Orthodox Jew from London who has lectured on mysticism at Hebrew University in Jerusalem - but has university degrees in economics and the history of political thought, and is an adviser on pensions at the National Health Service in Great Britain - became intrigued by the subject when he was reading the chapter about false messiahs in Gershom Scholem's "Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism.""I was fascinated by a short sentence that said `many of them were still around in 1970,'" he says.Shabbtai Zvi was born in Izmir, Turkey in 1625 and became a Muslim in the 1660s, Ross explains, when he was challenged by the sultan of Turkey for declaring that his mission as messiah was to take back the land of Israel, then under Ottoman rule. The sultan offered him three alternatives: make a miracle and become the true messiah of the Jews; be killed; or become a Muslim. Shabbtai Tzvi chose the latter."Shabbtai Tzvi embraced Islam," he says, "and that would be the end of the story, but he claimed that his embrace was different than Jesus' crucifixion: He was entering the `dark world' to bring life into it. His followers called this the `sacredness of sin' and quoted Isaiah 53: `The messiah will suffer.'"Adds Ross: "Anyway, most people say the messiah will suffer - leading the Jewish people is not easy!"After Shabbtai Tzvi's death, he relates, his family and followers moved to Salonika. When Greece took it over in 1924, descendants of that community returned to Turkey.Underground kabbalist colleges"I wasn't satisfied with the sentence about many of them being around in 1970," Ross says. "I went to a lady professor of kabbala in London who insisted (the Sabbateans) were a 17th-century phenomenon that faded away in the early part of the 20th century. I said I don't think they did. Then a friend introduced me to Naim Tucsin, a Turkish Muslim professor of politics at London University, who told me he would contact an editor of an Istanbul newspaper who is a Jew and ask him about it. Six months later, I got a phone call from the editor, saying `come to Istanbul.'"He traveled to Istanbul and stayed at the Pier Palace Hotel. One day, Ross "was taken to the office of a Muslim gentleman. I sat down, was given coffee and he asked me, `What do you know about `tiferet' (glory)?' The significance of the term represents an entire kabbalistic structure in which tiferet is the God of Israel."Ross, who is also warden of Hendon United Synagogue, one of the largest in London, decided four years ago to write a book about his discoveries. He began learning Turkish and traveled twice to Turkey: "I penetrated the Sabbatean structure. I met with the president of the Sabbatean community. They were at the point of showing me one of their secret synagogues, but got scared."He explains that "the Sabbateans believe that God is the creator of the world, but has underneath his authority the God of Israel. I discovered there are 50 `ogans' - spiritual leaders - of the Sabbatean movement. They have trained in 12 kabbalistic colleges in Turkey, which are underground. They are experts in the Zohar, in `Sefer Bahir' and `Sefer Yetsira,' prominent kabbalistic works which are accepted and respected by Orthodox Jews, but not revered (to the same extent). They also know the Five Books of Moses, the Prophets and other writings, but very little or no Talmud as this had been transcended by Shabbtai Tzvi."According to Ross, the secretive Sabbatean community, with an estimated 20,000 members, is known to security forces in Turkey, but not to the general public. Most of them live in Istanbul in large blocks of luxury flats in the Shishli Jewish quarter - unbeknownst to their neighbors."It's like a well-known secret. But the Sabbateans don't want to be exposed. I have been asked by four members of the community not to publish my book. They fear reactions from extreme Islamic elements."To help substantiate his claims, Ross brought to Israel one of the members of the community who was willing to "come out of the closet" in order to be converted formally by rabbis: "Ilgaz Zorlu is his name. But the rabbis (in Israel) said he can't be converted because he doesn't accept all of the Talmudic law. They accepted that he knows more kabbala than they do. He prays; he practices Conservative Judaism. But, he's not bothered about Talmud so they said he had to do a nine-month conversion."Meanwhile, Zorlu, a young accountant from Istanbul, has written his own book, which is mostly historical in nature. Entitled "Yes, I am a Salonikan," it has been printed six times.Ross believes that there are a number of secret Sabbateans who hold key positions of influence in the Turkish parliament, legislature and executive branches of government, including the foreign minister himself. This, he observes, may help explain the close relations that exist today between Israel and Turkey. [4]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;em&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mustafa Kamal was a Freemason who was an initiate of the Macedonia Risorta Lodge No. 80, Thessaloniki&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I leave it up to you to decide on whether we should be opening our arms towards the Turkish government or not. But here, I reserve no sort of hatred towards the true Turkish Muslims including the likes of Mr. Harun Yahya, because they are brothers of ours, and are as respectable as our our nationals. Could this all probably be the reason why Mr. Oktar (Harun Yahya) was imprisoned, threatened and psychologically tortured? He has been arrested again! May Allah help him. I pray for him.&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;REFERENCES:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[1] http://rsmasons.netfirms.com/famous.html&lt;br /&gt;[2] "The Literary Digest" which is published in USA, from the October 14, 1922 issue, page 50:&lt;br /&gt;[3] Joachim Prinz's book "The Secret Jews", page 122:&lt;br /&gt;[4] http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=181051&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-2104460520230315338?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/2104460520230315338/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/07/educational-brainwashing-carefully.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/2104460520230315338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/2104460520230315338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/07/educational-brainwashing-carefully.html' title='EDUCATIONAL BRAINWASHING (Carefully Selected Syllabi)'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/SHkiZrnRpII/AAAAAAAAADk/DNXXEnKx7So/s72-c/2004-11-10__point01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-2574709778652204672</id><published>2008-07-03T14:42:00.003+06:00</published><updated>2008-07-05T14:38:16.769+06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lahore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dr. israr agmed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ahmed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hazrat ali'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muslim'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dr. israr ahmed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ali'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='imam'/><title type='text'>CONSPIRACIES AGAINST DR.

Fine...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;But they are also the same people who run the Pakistani edition of HBO&lt;br /&gt;(promiscuity) , and a few days ago I came across an ad in the channel where it was being announced that the movie "THE DA VINCI CODE" was to be aired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;I will not lie, and admit that I have neither read the book nor watched the movie. But one&lt;br /&gt;thing which I can say for sure after reading several of its reviews is that it is a&lt;br /&gt;blasphemous movie which basically outlines the so-called "fact" that Hazrat Isa bin Maryam (AS) had wed a certain woman by the name of "Mary Magdalene".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt very angry and shocked at this and decided to gather some of my friends and hold a protest outside the Lahore Press Club. Unfortunately I couldn't...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Let me remind you again that the ARY Group is owned by Haji Abdur Razzaq Yaqoob, who is also the Head of the World Memon Organization &lt;strong&gt;[1]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Their motive states that their foremost objecive is the well-being of the Memons in particular, and the Muslims in general. Talk about discrimination by caste!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;I've heard from my maternal uncle that the Memons are a different community much in distinction like the Agha Khan's Ismailis. Wallahu A'alam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;But one thing is for sure... these people are doing a business out of QTV. I am a Muslim (Sunni &gt; Hanafi) and I must say that indeed reciting appraisals of our beloved Prophet (SAW) is a good act and is undoubtedly respectable, just like Hassaan bin Thabit (RA) used to do. But some like Farhan Qadri and other people don't have the appropriate vocal training required for proper recitation. They just come and "scream" (Ma'z-Allah). Not that I am throwing aside his passion, plz don't take me wrong. I am just trying to raise some serious awareness here. I've heard from many sources that Jinab Owais Qadri sahib does not come to attend and recite at Naat functions unless he is offered the right amount of money (something like Rs. 100,000!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;So is this the purpose of praising the one to be praised (SAW)? Plz think it over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;And then, instead of you doing your own personal Istikhara, QTV makes it "easier" for you by calling a landline no. charged at Rs.14+tax and then getting some "aamil" to solve your problems via his jinns. Ya-Allah what is happening! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Did Prophet Samuel (Shimweel), the first person to do Istikhara, use jinns to get a message? NO!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Please don't take me wrong for the following comments. I know that all of you are those who have, Alhamdulillah, good knowledge of Islam and are conservative Muslims, like every Muslim (male and female) is supposed to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The thing is, it is clearly mentioned in several Ahadi'th that a woman is not only supposed to show her face to a non-mehram, but she should not also see a non-mehram's face either. Then why are most of the women with stuffed make-up and glamorous clothes coming on QTV and talking about the Sunnah? Are they following the Sunnah of the Ummul-Momineen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;It is stated in the Sahih Hadi'th that Asma bint-e-Abu Bakar (RA) once came in the presence of the Prophet (SAW). She was wearing light and transparent clothes at the time. The Prophet (SAW) immediately turned his face to the other side and stated that nothing should be seen of a mature and young woman except these two things, and he pointed towards his hand and face mubarak, indicating that only the feet and hands of a woman are allowed to be uncovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Plus, the ARY Group (those who run QTV) also run The Musik, a 24-hr Pakistani music channel which also features shows where the inter-mingling of sexes is promoted in various "normal" forms such as game-shows, etc. Then there is ARY's Fashion TV, the first total Pakistani offshoot of the Parisian channel which is probably most responsible nowdays for the promotion of, as they say in Urdu, "kanjarkhana and fahaashi" (explicitness). Half-naked women walking on ramps, all Pakistani! Wow! Is this why the forefathers of us Pakistanis lost so many of their lives and had to shed blood for? I don't think so. If this was our goal, why did we separate ourselves from India in the first place? Plz think about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Many people say I have a personal grudge against the ARY Group. Allah Knows Best that no such thing exists. I will Insha'Allah express my views on other deviating channels too, if Allah wills. Thank you for your time in reading my opinion.

Not only does it contain psychological, geographical, oceanological, embryological, psychiatrical, medical, logical, chemical miracles, to top it all off, this magnificent Final Revelation of The Almighty also contains Mathematical (Lexical) miracles! How, you may ask?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Let's see..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Masters of Qur'anic wisdom such as Mr. Harun Yahya and the founder and crew of The Qur'anic Research Group have unlocked some wonderful mysteries into the insight of The Qur'an's mathematical miracles and astonishing wonder, revealed upon an unlettered prophet (SAW) 1400 years ago in the middle of nowhere!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like The Bible, The Qur'an has a specific set of numerical values assigned to every individual letter of the Arabic alphabet. For example, ALIF is "1", BAA is "2", FAA is "80", RAA is "200" and so on. For a detailed numerological list of assigned values, please click here: &lt;a href="http://www.quranmiracles.com/19/19read.asp?id=1"&gt;www.quranmiracles.com/19/19read.asp?id=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is the most strongest abrogater of monotheism, strict monotheism to be precise. No trinity, no son, nothing. Allah is free from such blasphemies and interpolated attachments. Neither Jesus nor Uzair (Ezra) are the "sons of God". God is One, or Alone, to be precise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The numerical equivalent of the Arabic word "wahid" meaning "one" is: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WAA (6) + ALIF (1) + HAA (8) + DAA (4) = 19&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please bear this distinct number in mind. It will be used for reference purposes later, Insha'Allah.&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, it seems to be nothing but logical that behind every thing created is a Creator. Fair enough? Take the example of some items you have bought at a local shopping store. They all have bar-codes pasted on them for direct price-verification at the counter via the information contained in those distinct and unique set of thick/thin black lines.&lt;br /&gt;In the same way, Allah leaves his "bar-codes" or signs (aayaat) in his creations so that the people who want to find their Creator find him and then bow down before Him in humbleness and submission. The number "19" is a similar bar-code. There are other numbers which are also used as "stamps" for proclamations and creations, they will be discussed later, Insha'Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE IMPORTANCE OF "19":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Following are the translation of some relevant verses from The Qur'an, which amazingly give us the precise reason for the number "19" being so important:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;THEN SAID HE (The Unbeliever): "THIS IS NOTHING BUT MAGIC, DERIVED FROM OF OLD;&lt;br /&gt;THIS IS NOTHING BUT THE WORD OF A MORTAL!"&lt;br /&gt;SOON I (Allah) WILL CAST HIM INTO HELL-FIRE!&lt;br /&gt;AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT HELL-FIRE IS?&lt;br /&gt;NEITHER DOES IT PERMIT TO ENDURE, AND NEITHER DOES IT LEAVE ALONE!&lt;br /&gt;DARKENING AND CHANGING THE COLOR OF MAN!&lt;br /&gt;OVER IT ARE NINETEEN (19)&lt;br /&gt;AND WE HAVE SET NONE BUT ANGELS AS GUARDIANS OF THE FIRE; AND WE HAVE FIXED THEIR NUMBER ONLY AS A TRIAL FOR UNBELIEVERS - IN ORDER THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (Jews &amp;amp; Christians) MAY ARRIVE AT CERTAINTY, AND THE BELIEVERS MAY INCREASE IN FAITH - AND THAT NO DOUBTS MAY BE LEFT FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK AND THE BELIEVERS (Muslims), AND THAT THOSE IN WHOSE HEARTS IS A DISEASE AND THE UNBELIEVERS MAY SAY, "WHAT SYMBOL DOES ALLAH INTEND BY THIS?" THUS DOES ALLAH LEAVE TO STRAY WHOM HE PLEASES, AND GUIDE WHOM HE PLEASES: AND NONE CAN KNOW THE FORCES OF YOUR LORD, EXCEPT HIM, AND THIS IS NO OTHER THAN A WARNING TO MANKIND.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; [Al-Muddathir : V. 24-31]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;To summarize the above verses, the unbeliever in a state of sheer infidelity mocks at the notion of "19" i.e. monotheism, alleging that it is a form of magic, or in modern terms, some kind of esoteric freemasonry. But Allah says that He will throw such a denier in the Sarqa (Hellfire), wherein due to the intense heat, man's color will blacken, roast, he will burn up, he will be given new flesh again, and the process keeps repeating itself. The statement neither does it leave alone refers to the re-giving of new flesh for repeat of punishment. Over it are nineteen is one of the most amazing statements I have come across so far. From the next verse we come to know that there will be 19 angels on top of the Hellfire. This is a sign of Truth, especially for the People of the Book (Jews &amp;amp; Christians) and furthermore, a sign for the existing believers who are low in faith, there faith will thereforth increase till the level of staunchness. As we read on, we come to know that the unbeliever will question as to what Allah implies by the specific quantity of angels. At the end, we realise that "19" i.e. monotheism and Oneness of Allah is a warning to all of mankind.&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOME IMPORTANT CODES:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Allah = 66&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad (SAW) = 92&lt;br /&gt;Ahmad (SAW) = 53&lt;br /&gt;Islam = 132&lt;br /&gt;Deen (way of life) = 64&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOME NEWLY DISCOVERED MIRACLES:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;It was an average day, that I started getting bored of my preparatory studies for my Class XII Engineering finals. The same old syllabus, monotony at its finest, too damning, if you may. I decided to pick up my calculator, the numerical values were on my mind, I started experimenting with different Qur'anic verses, words and occurrences. And then I discovered (not made) these miracles. I thank Allah Almighty for blessing me with this honour. I in no way intend to boast of my findings. Feel free to share them. Allahu Akbar!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. YAJOOJ-MAJOOJ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Yajooj-Majooj are not huge-eared big-toothed monsters. Rather, it refers to two twin tribes (savage) who are humans like us, but extremely violent, dis-civilized and ferocious. They are from the offspring of Yafith, son of Prophet Nuh (AS).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only information from The Qur'an that we get of these two tribes, is that their ferocious characteristics have been explained by the inhabitants of a particular tribe, upon whom King Dhul-Qarnayn (the Two-Horned one) stumbled upon. He had ordered the people to help him build a wall (barrier) between them and Yajooj-Majooj so that they might not harm them anymore. &lt;strong&gt;[1]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;These two-tribes are an important end-of-time sign/happening. Very important, to be precise, as their destruction will be one of the reasons for Prophet Isa's second coming to this world, before the killing of Dajjal. It is believed by genetic-specialists that the offspring of Yafith bin Nuh are believed to be all or atleast a portion of those people who are naturally red-haired. Probably, the reference is towards the Nordics, Scots, Irish peoples who are mostly from the lineages of famous Vikings (a savage and barbarious nation).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Anyways,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;YAJOOJ = YA (10) + ALIF (1) + JA (3) + WA (6) + JA (3) = 23&lt;br /&gt;MAJOOJ = MA (40) + ALIF (1) + JA (3) + WA (6) + JA (3) = 53&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;To be noted that Yajooj-Majooj are always mentioned together, whether in The Qur'an, Hadi'th or in stories reported by famous historians. Hence, it is suitable to add both their respective values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;23 + 53 = 76&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;And 76 is a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x4)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;Allah has left His monotheistic imprint, thus verifying the authenticity of their emergence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. THE DAJJAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The Dajjal refers to the Christian Antichrist who is the most important end-of-time figure. The word literally means "The Deceiver", one who will claim false divinity. To be remembered that we are advised by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to memorise the first ten verses of Surah Al-Kahf to protect ourselves from The Dajjal's fitnas (afflictions). Our Prophet (SAW) further advised us that The Dajjal would be one eyed, whereas our Lord (Allah) is not one-eyed, thus explaining the falsehood of the Messiah Dajjal. &lt;strong&gt;[2]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;DAJJAL = DA (4) + JA (3) + ALIF (1) + LA (30) = 38&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And 38 is a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x2)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;Allah has left His monotheistic imprint, thus verifying the authenticity of his emergence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. AL-RAHMAAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word is the first of the beautiful names of Allah. It literally means &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The Compassionate"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The Qur'an itself testifies to this being Allah's favourite names as there is a special surah (chapter) entitled with its name called "Surah Al-Rahmaan", whose very first verse only mentions this name. Hence:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AL-RAHMAAN = ALIF (1) + LA (30) + RA (200) + HA (8) + MA (40) + ALIF (1) + NA (50) = 330&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Though 330 is not a multiple of 19, it is directly a multiple of Allah (66) =&gt; (66x5)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;Allah has left His own name, thus verifying the magnificence of this beautiful attribute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. MOMINEEN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Arabic word literally means &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"those of faith"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, or rather, conviction. To be kept in mind that the the stage of momin (singular) is above the rank of a muslim, as a momin not only surrenders his will to Allah but also has strong personal conviction and testifies to the Truth with his heart also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;MOMINEEN = MA (40) + WA (6) + MA (40) + NA (50) + YA (10) + NA (50) = 192&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Now, the numerical equivalent of Islam is 132. And that of deen is 64. Momineen are those who not only consider Islam itself as a religion, but also foremostly as a deen (way of life).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Hence: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ISLAM (132) + DEEN (64) = 192 (MOMINEEN)!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. AL-KHIDR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;There are many narrations on Al-Khidr. As a final deductive result, some believe him to have passed away, like Ibn Taymiyyah. Others still believe he is alive, as he reported to have drunk the "Aab-e-Hayat" i.e. 'Water of Life', as reported by Hafiz Ibn Katheer in his recordings. &lt;strong&gt;[3]&lt;/strong&gt; And Allah Knows Best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The only mention of Al-Khidr in The Qur'an is in Surah Al-Kahf, where we are told that Prophet Musa (AS) went with him on a journey, but failed to keep by his promise of remaining calm and patient. &lt;strong&gt;[4]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;After reading the relevant verses of Al-Khidr and Musa (AS) in The Qur'an, we also realise that he was a man gifted with wisdom and guidance by Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;AL-KHIDR = ALIF (1) + LA (30) + KHA (600) + DWA (800) + RA (200) = 1631&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, 1631 is also equal to the numerical value of the verse &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"FABI AAYI AALA-EE RABBIKUMA TUKADHIBAAN"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; i.e. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Allahu Akbar. This means that we learn that Allah can bestow His special favours, including guidance and wisdom, upon some of His Servants whenever He pleases. Allahu Akbar. And so, indeed, which of the favours of Allah can we deny? Think about it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. SIRAATIM-MUSTAQEEM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word literally means &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The Straight Path"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"The Correct Path"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;SAWD (90) + RA (200) + ALIF (1) + TAW (9) + MA (40) + SA (60) + TA (400) + QAF (100) + YA (10) + MA (40) = 950&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;And 950 is a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x50)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;Allah has left His monotheistic imprint in the mention of the Straight Path!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. HUSSAYN (R.A.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was the grandson of the Prophet (SAW), the second son in line of the offsprings of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib. Hazrat Hussayn was also a member of the Ahlul-Bayt i.e. Household of the Prophet (SAW).&lt;br /&gt;We all know how he had sacrificed his life, and those of his family and relatives, for the protection of Islam from the innovator Yazeed, the cursed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HUSSAYN = HA (8) + SA (60) + YA (10) + NA (50) = 128&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Now, 128 is a multiple of Deen (64) =&gt; (64x2)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;The deen of Islam remembers the sacrifice of Hazrat Hussayn, and the contribution of his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. KHAIRUKUM-MAN TA-ALLAMAL-QUR'AANA WA ALLAMAH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above is a complete saying of the Prophet (SAW) which means &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The best of you are those who learn The Qur'an and who teach it (to others)"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The Hadi'th was reported on the authority of Hazrat Uthman ibn Affan, the third Rightly-Guided Caliph and is mentioned in Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal's Musnad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Now, the numerical equivalent of the above saying equals 2033. And it is a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x107)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;Allah Has left His monotheistic imprint in this saying of the Prophet (SAW), thus signifying the immense importance of acquiring Qur'anic wisdom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. INNASH-SHIRKA LA-ZULMUN 'AZEEM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"UNDOUBTEDLY, SHIRK (ASSOCIATING PARTNERS WITH ALLAH) IS A GRIEVOUS CRIME"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The numerical equivalent of the above Qur'anic verse is 2622, which is a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x138)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;Allah Almighty testifies to the seriousness of this blasphemy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. AAYAAT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word means "signs", or rather, "verses", to be more relevant. The Qur'an is based upon a total of 6666 verses*, which is a direct multiple of Allah (66) =&gt; (66x101)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11. LATARKABUNNA TAWBAQAN 'AN-TAWBAQ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is verse 19 of Surah Al-Inshiqaaq, meaning &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"YOU WILL INDEED TRAVEL FROM STAGE-TO-STAGE"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Verse 18 prior to this verse mentions an oath of Allah, where Allah swears by the Moon (wal qamari idhat-tasaq).&lt;br /&gt;Miracle analysts believe verse 19, in context of its previous verse, to foretell, or rather, announce the journey of man to the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The numerical value of the above verse equals 1045, which is a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x55)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12. PAKISTAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Yes, probably one of my favourite discoveries. Since the letter Pa does not exist in Arabic, it is unsuitable to calculate the total of "Bakistan". Hence, we denote/represent Pakistan by it's sq. area i.e. 796,096 sq. kms. It is a multiple of Deen (64) =&gt; (64x12439)! Allahu Akbar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Allah has left the imprint of His Deen (system of life), reminding us that Pakistan was indeed created for the purpose of establishing Deen, as we Muslims claimed before partition and for which our forefathers sacrificed so many of their lives, in the form of Khilafah. Allahu Akbar. Imagine the secularist theories!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13. HIJAAZ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the name of the province wherein are situated both the holy sacred cities of Makkah and Madina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;HIJAAZ = HA (8) + JA (3) + ALIF (1) + ZA (7) = 19!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allahu Akbar!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14. LETTERS IN THE QUR'AN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a total of 323,760 letters* used in The Qur'an. Now, this quantity is also a multiple of 19 =&gt; (19x17,040)!

Ibn Hajar continues: "Those who hold it have used for proof the hadith related from Abu `Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah whereby the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said: 'It may be that one of those who saw me and heard my speech shall meet the Dajjal.' Narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (15:181) with a weak chain according to Shaykh Shu`ayb Arna'ut, However, Imam al-Tirmidhi in his Sunan said it is also narrated from three other Companions and thus graded the hadith itself "fair and single-chained (hasan gharib) as narrated from Abu `Ubayda."&lt;br /&gt;Al-Barzanji (d. 1103) said in his book al-Isha`a li Ashrat al-Sa`a (al-Jabr ed p. 204-205=Zakariyya al-Kandihlawi ed. p. 279-280) at the mention of this hadith: "This believer whom al-Dajjal kills is al-Khidr, peace upon him." He then cites the proofs for this view and states that it is also the view of Ibn `Abbas, Ma`mar (d. 154), and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[4]&lt;/strong&gt; Surah Al-Kahf V. 60-82&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt; - Authenticated by a fatwa by the Al-Azhar University (Egypt)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-1993904046120731217?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/1993904046120731217/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/03/newly-discovered-miracles-allahu-akbar.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/1993904046120731217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/1993904046120731217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/03/newly-discovered-miracles-allahu-akbar.html' title='NEWLY DISCOVERED MIRACLES (Allahu Akbar!)'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-783924968141868854</id><published>2008-03-08T01:02:00.003+05:00</published><updated>2008-03-12T20:25:45.462+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ghulam ahmad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mirza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ahmadi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='qadiani'/><title type='text'>REFUTATION TO MIRZA'S CLAIMS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R9GgFfUxP7I/AAAAAAAAACI/qk5NsWtJFj4/s1600-h/mga.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175093462993813426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R9GgFfUxP7I/AAAAAAAAACI/qk5NsWtJFj4/s320/mga.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In the late 19th century, another dajjal rose, this time in the Indian &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Subcontinent. His name was Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani. He is the founder of one of the most bizarre and clearly false groups known as the "Ahmadiyya Jamaat". In my personal view, to call the group "Ahmadis" is infact to indirectly blaspheme the second name of our Prophet (SAW). God Forbid!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hence, the term most suitable for these deviated people is "Qadiani" or "Mirzayee". Mirza Ghulam claimed that he was the promised manifestation of both the Promised Messiah (Jesus Christ) and Imam Mahdi, obviously both being different personalities, and both being prophesized wholly differently in the Hadi'th works with respect to their area of emergence, characteristics, features, etc.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to throw light on some of Mirza's claims and then will Insha'Allah prove from both The Qur'an and The Hadi'th that his claims are false and are nothing but claims "proved" by distorting the verses of The Qur'an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following are the respectively numbered claims by Mirza Ghulam from his book "Tazkiratush-Shahadatain, pgs. 38,39:&lt;br /&gt;1) In a way, my name (Ahmad) has been mentioned&lt;br /&gt;2) The name of my village "Kadaa" has been mentioned in the traditions&lt;br /&gt;3) The traditions prove that The Messiah will be born in the 13th century&lt;br /&gt;4) The Sahih Bukhari mentions my physical features&lt;br /&gt;5) Visions and dreams of thousands of virtuous people testifying to my aunthenticity&lt;br /&gt;6) My affairs being visited by divine succour&lt;br /&gt;7) The bai'yat (pledge) by about two hundred and thousand people at my hands&lt;br /&gt;8) The crumbling of Christianity as a religion&lt;br /&gt;9) The current polytheism, alcoholism, dishonesty and falsehood which have run rampant on a global scale&lt;br /&gt;10) The failure of all to compete with me in miraculously competitive writing&lt;br /&gt;11) In showing heavenly signs and fulfilment of hundreds of thousands of divine prophecies&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;THE REFUTATION:&lt;br /&gt;Answers to respective questions have been stated herein, by the Grace of Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The verse to which Mirza Ghulam is referring to is Verse 6 of Surah As-Saff (The Ranks), which states that: "And remember, Jesus, the Son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah (sent to you), confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad" But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said "This is evident sorcery!"&lt;br /&gt;Mirza's name was not "Ahmad", but was "Ghulam Ahmad". "Ahmad" means "one who praises" and "Ghulam Ahmad" means "the Servant of the One who Praises" i.e. the 'Servant of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)'. There is a whole lot of visible difference between the two words. Hence, Mirza's attempt to purposefully familiarise his name with Jesus' prophecy of the real Ahmad, our Beloved Prophet (SAW), is sheer error and an act of blasphemy against The Qur'an. The context of the above mentioned verse is that while the Jews were mocking at Jesus Christ (pbuh), he left them with a sign of the Messenger. He was referring to the coming of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), which is in accordance with the Biblical Prophecy, in the words of Jesus himself::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". [Holy Bible, John 16:7]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Please bear in mind that the Arabic word for Comforter is "Mustafa", which was not in any of Mirza's names, rather it was one of the beautiful names oof our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Both these Qur'anic and Biblical verses clearly authenticate the Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW), not a Subcontinental Ismaili like Mirza Ghulam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) "Kadaa" was not the name of Mirza's village. It was "Qadian". Nevertheless, he claims that the name has been mentioned in the traditions. What traditions? Are we referring to tales of hearsay and error? Or rather, tales of interpolated prophecies? I leave it up to you to decide. Mirza sahib does not even provide the references to any of his claims, let alone this stupid and timid claim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I have, Alhamdulillah, read various Hadi'th. Yes, the Hadi'th do mention the coming of the Messiah, but that Messiah is Jesus Christ! But we also know that Dajjal has also been labeled as "Al-Maseeh Ad-Dajjal" by our Prophet (SAW). Hence, we come to know that the only two Messiahs mentioned in The Hadi'th are Jesus Christ and The Dajjal. If we are to suppose that Mirza was the manifestation of Jesus, then there are already clear proof in the Sahih Hadi'th that Jesus (pbuh) was a man of lank and beautiful hair and with a reddish complexion (indicating his beautiful whiteness). The Hadi'th is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sahih Bukhari, Vol. IV, Book 55, No. 607:&lt;br /&gt;Narrated by: Abu Huraira&lt;br /&gt;Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses who was a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble prophet Abraham more than any of his offspring does. Then I was given two cups, one containing milk and the other wine. Gabriel said, 'Drink whichever you like.' I took the milk and drank it. Gabriel said, 'You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e. Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.' "&lt;br /&gt;Sahih Bukhari, Vol. IV, Book 55, No. 608&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated by: Ibn 'Abbas&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet (SAW)said, "One should not say that I am better than Jonah (i.e. Yunus) bin Matta." So, he mentioned his father Matta. The Prophet mentioned the night of his Ascension and said, "The prophet Moses was brown, a tall person as if from the people of the tribe of Shanu'a. Jesus was a curly-haired man of moderate height." He also mentioned Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire, and Ad-Dajjal.&lt;br /&gt;Now, was Mirza a man with a red face i.e. a white male? No. He was, as can be seen in the pictures, a black-colored male. Secondly, he always wore an imama (turban) on his head, probably to hide his hair which were not curly like those of Jesus! Allah Knows Best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there's the other perspective of him being The Dajjal. Which he was not. He was an ordinary dajjal but not THE Dajjal. I don't need to lie. Dajjals will appear but THE Dajjal has yet to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Mirza claimed that he was both The Messiah and Imam Mahdi. Now which physical features is he referring to specifically in Sahih Bukhari? Those of Jesus or Mahdi? Obviously to those of Jesus, as there is no mention of Imam Mahdi in Sahih Bukhari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JESUS:&lt;br /&gt;&gt; Skin color inclined between reddish and white complexions, medium height and lank hair [Vol. IV, Book 54, Beginning of Creation, Hadi'th No. 462]&lt;br /&gt;&gt; Curly haired [Vol. IV, Book 55, Book of Prophets, Hadi'th No. 608]&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, as can be seen from Mirza's image, he did not match any of the physical features of Jesus Christ (pbuh).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Does Mirza sahib think that such a claim is believable? How did he know that all the people were virtuous? Though some may be virtuous from the outside, it's the inside that counts. And only Allah Has Knowledge of a person's true characteristics. So, was Mirza's claim viable? I don't think so. Furthermore, in the Hadi'th we are told that a good dream is always from Allah and a bad one always from Satan [Vol IX, Book 87, Book on Interpretation of Dreams, Hadi'th No. 113]. Then most probably, Satan was continually showing Mirza sahib in people's dreams!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) This is a very absurd claim. We come to know from Mirza's own writings that he suffered from severe and dreadul illnesses. Were they also part of a Divine Succour?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Most of you people have observed me in this condition [Translator (Bashir Ahmed): i.e. the weakness of Mirza’s brain], and then, I have this (excessive) urinary illness for a very long time; as if the two Yellow Sheets have been draped around me - one at the upper part of my body and the other one at the lower part of the body. I get very little time while in a state of cleanliness due to these illnesses." [Malfoozat 3/68-69]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Now here, Mirza is referring to the prophecy of Imam Mahdi, of which we are told that though he will not want to be pledged allegiance to, yet people will swear their allegiance to him between the Hajr-e-Aswad and Maqaam-e-Ibrahim, not in the city of Qadian in Pakistan. Sheesh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibn Majah:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated by Abu Huraira from Abu Qatada:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet (SAW) said: "People will be given allegiance (Beyat) to person (i.e Mahdi) between the Ruken (Hajr-e-Aswad) and Maqaam (Maqaam-e-Ibrahim) and no one else but the same people who are related to that place (citizens of Makkah) will destroy the respect of Kabah(as they will attack Mahdi in Kabah where fighting is forbidden) and when they will declare it Halal then do not ask about the killing of the ARABS(there will be a mass killing of arabs).Then Ethopians(Africans) will come and they will desolate it in such a way that it would never be a habitat and these will be the people who will take out its treasure".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this location in accordance with that of Mirza's city of Qadian?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) Unfortunately, Christianity is still the pre-dominant religion in the world today. Insha'Allah, the time is not far when Islam will supercede it. How the heck was Mirza responsible for crumbling Christianity when even after more than 100 years of his death, it is still dominant? Atleast he could have dominated Islam by Allah's help during his lifetime, like the real Imam Mahdi will do, Insha'Allah. Hence, we also come to know that Allah's Help was nowhere with Mirza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) Polytheism has existed from the times of Noah's descendants onwards. Idol-worshipping was common during the days of Noah's prophethood and also during Ibrahim's days and also before and for a time during the prophethood of Muhammad (SAW). Alcoholism was common in the days of Jesus (pbuh), where it is mentioned in the Bible:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Give strong drink (hard liquor) to him who is perishing (one who is dying). And wine to those who are bitter of heart. Let him drink and forget his poverty. And remember his misery no more. [Holy Bible, Proverbs 31:6-7]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Dishonesty was always there. It is in the nature of man to be dishonest whenever he feels it is necessary, though it is a very wrong act. And falsehood... well, let's take the example of Iblis himself. He is still on falsehood from ever since he disobeyed Allah by not prostrating himself before Adam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) Competitive writing?? Let's all laugh for a moment. In each of his claims, Mirza Ghulam has not provided any respective citation from either a Qur'anic verse or a narration from the Hadi'th. No direct and clear reference to any written and pre-recorded proof has been made. Secondly, to boast about his writings is not the quality of an "Imam" or "Messiah". Surely, Imam Mahdi and Jesus Christ are not men of dignity and pride. Rather, they are the pious and saintly people of Allah. They bow their heads down before Allah, not like Mirza Ghulam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) What heavenly signs did Mirza show? Even if we are to believe, let's suppose, that a lunar and solar eclipse did take place incidentally in the same month of Ramadan, that means that Mirza had just seized such a coincidental opportunity to initiate his claims. Because from the Hadi'th, we come to know furthermore that after such a celestial sign, not only will Imam Mahdi appear but also that THE Dajjal will rise from a place between Iraq and Syria, let's not go into further details. The divine prophecies, by the way, don't number in the hundreds, let alone in the thousands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mirza Ghulam was an Ismaili Shi'a before he started making his claims. Therefore, this much is sufficient for his already heretical beliefs. In his works, Mirza Ghulam states, in a letter to the then Queen of England, that Jihad (struggling) is not compulsory upon Muslims. How deviant!! I think this is enough to know that Mirza was trying to please the Colonial forces at the time so that he could be funded and honored for his blasphemies and distortions of The Qur'an and Hadi'th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I would like to state that, as everyone knows, Mirza suffered the fate which he deserved, and which Allah places upon such a dastardly being. He was literally found head-first in his flush, filled with "dirt".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A famous couplet comes to mind:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TRANSLITERATION (URDU): MIRZA GAR HOTA KHUDA KA NABI, NA TATTI MAIN GIR KAY MARTA KABHI&lt;br /&gt;TRANSLATION (ENGLISH): MIRZA WOULD NEVER HAVE DIED IN SHIT, IF EVER HE WAS GOD'S MESSENGER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of timber propped up, (unable to stand on their own).

An encyclopedia of knowledge, to be precise. His speeches and talks are probably most effective because he is an educated scholar (medical doctorate) and also has constant interaction with the masses, especially the youth through his Sam'o Basar (Audio/Video) Department at the Tanzeem-e-Islami, which uploads each of his Friday sermons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;This is quite surprising, considering the fact that most people consider him to be like the rest of the cocooned-up scholars whose teachings are mostly limited within the frameworks of their mosques. As Dr. Israr puts it: "Many religious scholars are "dams" of knowledge... in the sense that they posess tons of valuable knowledge, but all of that is useless unless the "water" or knowledge is allowed to pass through the barriers so that it can fertilise the "soil" or the masses"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Dr. Israr Ahmad started his da'wah career from his late teenage years i.e. when he was about 19 or 20 years old. He was a prominent member and later Head of the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba of the Jamaat-e-Islami. Also being an aide of Maulana Maududi himself, Dr. Israr learned a lot from his tafseer, alogn with those of Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani and others. But he left the Jamaat in 1957 because he sensed early on that the Jamaat had deviated from its aims and objectives. During pre-partition, there was loud-talk of establishing an Islamic Government. Sadly, the Jamaat decided to enter national electoral politics soon after partition, which was a big mistake, as it later proved to be the main cause for the Jamaat's downfall and the abuse target of people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Dr. Israr admits that his Tanzeem is also political, but not with respect to electoral politics. It is political with respect to teaching, upbringing and leading the masses by the Help of Allah (SWT), that also not by electing people but rather by nurturing the masses with the teachings of pure social Islam as a Just World Order. Not the conspiratorial New World Order, the system of Dajjal that is getting ever more popular these days around the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The Tanzeem-e-Islami is a unique organisation in the sense that it solely is struggling and striving for the establishment of the true Islamic system of life, Khilafah or Caliphate. That too, not by guns and swords or suicide bombings, as some rumour-mongers allege, but briefly by the following methods:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&gt; TEACHING THE ARABIC LANGUAGE &amp;amp; THE QUR'AN&lt;br /&gt;&gt; TEACHING THE HADI'TH&lt;br /&gt;&gt; TEACHING HOW TO LIVE ONE'S LIFE PRACTICALLY ACCORDING TO THE SHARIAH&lt;br /&gt;&gt; CONSTANT REFRESHMENT OF EDUCATION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The revolution in Iran was not carried out by armed combat. People were taught about the importance of Islam as a system and hence were also ordered to stand ground silently even if killed. It was a very bloody move, many Iranians peacefully gave up their lives to the Shah's regime. It was then that the Shah realised that there was no stopping the people... they had been indoctrinated with meaningful literature and powerful writings... just like Karl Marx's writings led people to put up Communism in the former USSR.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Dr. Israr verily states that Islam is not merely a religion, as the word itself is a very limited term referring just to some forms of worship, social customs and a specific dogma. And surprisingly, the Arabic word for religion is madhab. Which is used nowhere for Islam in The Qur'an or Hadi'th literature! Amazing! Then what word is used for Islam? That word is deen, which basically means a way of life, a system of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Allah is the Owner of the Day of Judgment (maaliki yaumid-deen, Al-Fatiha, V3). The word deen is used for judgment. A judgment is definitely made in the conformity of a particular judicial system. Similarly: It is He Who Has sent His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with Guidance (Qur'an) and the True System of Life (Islam) [Al-Fath : 28]. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) not only left us The Qur'an but also with the True System of Life i.e. the Islamic politico-socio-economic system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Deen, when pressurized from all sides and rounded to the corner, becomes a religion. Before independence, the Sub-Continental populace was on British Deen i.e. the system of the British Imperialist Forces. Hence, we should be following the Deen of Allah, or the Deen Al-Haq (the True Way of Life).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;I advise all of you to watch Dr. Israr's programs on Peace TV. The schedule is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;"RAH-E-HIDAYAT" (Path to Guidance): Mon-Sat @ 4 p.m., repeats on 10 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;"RAB KA NIZAAM" (The Lord's System): Every Sunday (timing changes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;OFFICIAL WEBSITES: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tanzeem.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;www.tanzeem.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tanzeem.org.pk/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;www.tanzeem.org.pk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tanzeem.us/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;www.tanzeem.us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-5710919487969283065?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/5710919487969283065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/03/dr-israr-ahmed.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/5710919487969283065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/5710919487969283065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2008/03/dr-israr-ahmed.html' title='DR.

"Islamic" channel owned by the ARY Digital Networks, one of the most prominent entertainment powerhouse of Pakistan. ARY is a world-renowned gold brand, founded by nd abbreviated after Haji Abdur Rauf Yusuf.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;QTV presents itself, and claims to be the only 24-hr. Islamic channel. Which it definitely is not. Why such a name has been adopted for a so-called "Islamic" channel? The answer: Money. Allah forbid, these people have made the deen of Islam into a commercial business. Everyday, you see promos of a new "Naat" or "Hamd" CD being released by another layman Qadri. So much passion, the outburst of the Nabi's love gets displayed in the output as mere screams and chants... For Allah's sake is this a joke? A name I would like to mention is Farhan Qadri (the youngster). Only Allah Knows what his intentions are. It's good that children in this age are creating love for Islam. But he doesn't recite, he screams and shouts. Though the words are beautiful, his style, expression, etc. is just too painful! For God's sake, if you don't have a good voice, then atleast limit your vocal limits instead of exceeding your vocal pitch to the point that it sounds like a riot (Allah forbid)!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;I myself am an avid admirer of appraisals of Allah and His Habib (SAW). But the overly-joyous shouting by the reciters is nothing else but show and income. I feel very bad saying this, but from more than two years of observation, I think I know quite enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Beautiful reciters such as Abdur Rauf Rufi sahib, Qari Waheed Zafar Qasmi, Khurshid Ahmad (Marhoom), Zain Bhikha, Ahmad Bukhatir, etc. are some of the names that are definite exceptions. They were and are the real Aashiq-e-Rasool (Lovers of the Prophet (SAW)). Uwais Raza Qadri was fine at the beginning. His "An-nabi salloo alayhi" is one of my favourite naats. But I recently came to know from some of my contacts that Uwais sahib had rejected an invitation by a majlis for naat-recitation because he wasn't getting paid enough! Furthermore, I've also heard that he charges Rs. 100,000+ for one of his mehfils. Astaghfaar!&lt;br /&gt;Is this why they praise the Prophet (SAW)? To make it as a source of income? To pose themselves as lovers of the Prophet (SAW)? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Secondly, the owners of QTV (the ARY Group) are the very same people who own such channels as the FTV (Fashion TV) Pakistan, The Musik, ARY Shopping Channel... Amazing! Are you getting my point?&lt;br /&gt;It means that the money they earn from sleazy, disgusting and non-Islamic channels such as FTV Pakistan, The Musik and Shopping Channel, which also promote promiscuity, is being used (or atleast a portion) in funding for the QTV channel! HARAM MONEY!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Once, I was passing by some channels as usual and suddenly stopped my fingers at QTV. I saw the promotion of an exercising equipment (belt), and who else was promoting it but a typical cheaply-paid model wearing a kind of extended bikini and shorts. She was jumping up and down, strolling, running, twisting around... ON QTV!&lt;br /&gt;Female naat-khwans come and recite... but with tonnes of makeup decorated. They were shiny, glamorous clothes. The Prophet (SAW), according to a hadi'th, had said that women and men alike should not wear glamorous clothes or tight clothes so as to attract the opposite gender and make fun of oneself. But this all happens in ARY's QTV!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Most of us know that Istikhara is a personal experience referring to the individual act of praying to Allah exclusively for His Help and Guidance. But according to QTV, it's easier to do it by calling at a special telephone number charged at Rs. 14 something + tax and then let some aamil to command the jinns under his possession to remove his grief. HOW DEVIANT!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;At the end, I would like to state a Qur'anic ayah, very relevant to such "propagation of Islam":&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O YE WHO BELIEVE! TAKE NOT FOR FRIENDS AND PROTECTORS THOSE WHO TAKE YOUR RELIGION FOR A MOCKERY OR SPORT...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Surah Al-Maeda - Ayah 57]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;May Allah Protect Us From Such Hypcorisy!&lt;br /&gt;Aameen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-2983589731750747113?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/2983589731750747113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/12/qtv-is-private-24-hr.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/2983589731750747113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/2983589731750747113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/12/qtv-is-private-24-hr.html' title='THE REALITY OF QTV'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R1EuXxw6RJI/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ilj8LXfCtis/s72-c/qtv_pk.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-8551969423545254987</id><published>2007-11-29T14:56:00.000+05:00</published><updated>2008-03-12T20:25:45.469+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><title type='text'>MY HOMELAND DESTROYED...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TITLE: MY HOMELAND DESTROYED…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hollow whispers&lt;br /&gt;Transparent to my ears&lt;br /&gt;Screams all echo&lt;br /&gt;Terrifying streams of fears…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I roam around my once majestic hometown of Baghdad. Mutilated corpses lying here and there. Bombs still dropped upon and wrecks still burning their burns. Flames burning fire. Fire burning flames. I hear the passing by of lightning-speed jets. I see infidel tanks steadily patrolling the streets of Baghdad. I see buildings and monuments destroyed. Acid clouds hovering overhead, my eyes are filled with bitter tears. Yet I do not cry. The tears are merely chemical formations. I’ve cried so much, my natural glands are empty. This is the extent of sorrow. I can’t cry, I can’t cry…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I can’t shed tears&lt;br /&gt;Of despair and sorrow&lt;br /&gt;Else the world would have seen&lt;br /&gt;A river here tomorrow…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I return to the basement where my family is taking shelter. In the complete darkness and atmosphere of gloom, I hear mama praying to Allah. I hear her sob in between. I hear my young siblings playing with each other, unfamiliar with the devastation taking place outside. The vast basement is lit up by the sole glowing of a fire. Utter silence, except for the occassional passing by of more tanks and jets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come night-time, the young ones start wailing over food. They are hungry as they have been making do with a loaf or bread or two during the past four days. For a moment, there is agonizing stillness. The only audible things are the crackling of flames. Somehow the infidel armies did not pass by again, neither by air nor ground. I walk outside. Cold gushes of air slap my face. In a way, they convey to me the message of thousands of innocent dead people:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why, oh why&lt;br /&gt;Our lives, they denied&lt;br /&gt;Why to us so much&lt;br /&gt;Those people despised…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look up towards the sky. Not black, but the darkest of blue imaginable. Mysteriously, the stars shone more brightly today. I scream as much as I can ‘Allah! Allah! Oh Lord of The Worlds!’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fall down on my knees and grasp a handful of sand. I rub my face with it. The frosty air starts fluctuating in both sound and speed. Mama rushes out and takes me inside. She tucks me in a torn blanket and kisses me on the forehead. I close my eyes…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I open them again. This time, I can’t feel myself. I’m standing right ouside in front of the building with the basement. I see the youngest of my siblings standing outside, lonely. My baby sister Maria. She cries out to mama. She does not come. I reach for her and hold her, but… but I can’t lift her. I can’t see my hands, neither can I touch her. My spirit passes through her premature flesh. I guess she could not see me either. Right I am in front her. She still sheds tears of sorrow. I look up towards the sky. The same sky like the previous night… the night in which I died…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wander I now&lt;br /&gt;Not alone, but with&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of others&lt;br /&gt;Accompanying me…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[THE END]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Written by ZAKI KHALID.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-8551969423545254987?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/8551969423545254987/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-homeland-destroyed.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/8551969423545254987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/8551969423545254987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-homeland-destroyed.html' title='MY HOMELAND DESTROYED...'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-8542522721058321747</id><published>2007-11-25T16:07:00.000+05:00</published><updated>2008-03-12T20:25:45.470+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lYJPa4fII/AAAAAAAAAAk/8VjmIDPvrJo/s1600-h/Jmp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136733765774113922" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lYJPa4fII/AAAAAAAAAAk/8VjmIDPvrJo/s320/Jmp.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; The following article has been written by respected Dr. Israr Ahmed, one of the most recognized and revered scholars of Islam and Comparative Religion today. He is also the founder of the Tanzeem-e-Islami. The material herein was originally written in Urdu. It has been carefully translated to English for reading purposes by Zaki Khalid, with the express permission of the Media Branch of the Tanzeem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OFFICIAL WEBSITE:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tanzeem.org/"&gt;www.tanzeem.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE JEWS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the East, the land of Palestine has been a burning furnace for the Muslims for a long time. And the Jews have been eradicating the Palestinian people from the time Israel was formed uptil now. In Jewish history, the Holocaust took place once but now even arguments are being made on it (whether it was a reality or fiction) but for the Palestinians, the Holocaust is everyday routine. To have an analysis of Jewish history, it would be suitable that we ponder over the following questions. (1) Who are the Jews? (2) What is their mentality or mindset? (3) What is the history of their rise and fall? (4) What is the reason for their enmity for Islam? (5) What are their plans for the future? (6) Why is the land of Palestine important for the three revealed books? and (7) What is the solution to the problem of Palestine?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jews are from the lineage of Prophet Jacob, the son of Prophet Isaac, the son of Prophet Abraham. Prophet Jacob had twelve children whose entitled name was ‘Banu Israel’. Actually, ‘Israel’ was the given name of Prophet Jacob, whose meaning is ‘man of Allah’. In the days of Prophet Joseph, Bani Israel i.e. the Jewish nation went to Egypt and stayed there for about 400 to 500 years. During the arrival of Prophet Moses, the Jews were living a life of total slavery, filled with problems. Almighty Allah freed them from the slavery of the Egyptian Pharaoh through Prophet Moses. At that time, their population was six-hundred thousand and in that very age, Almighty Allah gave the Torah to Prophet Moses on Mount Tur. Mount Tur is in the Sina Desert. The Jews were the Muslim peoples before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to whom Almighty Allah gave The Book of Guidance and also the Balance of Shari’ah (religious laws) and this nation (the Jews) stayed on that post for two-thousand years. In these times, Almighty Allah kept the custom of Prophethood continuing for their guidance and leadership. According to The Torah, more than 50 Prophets were sent to them. They were given three revealed books The Torah, The Zaboor (Psalms) and The Injeel (Gospel). The 3500-year old history of that nation is preserved. After the arrival of Prophet Jesus, the custom of Prophethood ended for them. After the analysis of The Qur’an, we come to know that they were the most beloved and dear nation to Almighty Allah, that is the reason that it has been stated in verse 122 of the second Chapter of The Qur’an (translation): "O Bani Israel! Remember Our Favours which we did upon you and we gave you dominance in the world." This verse is mentioned two times in the same Chapter. Because of the dominance over the world, a thought got embedded in the nation’s minds that ‘We are the chosen people of the Lord’ that is why their mindset was made such that we are the worthy people in the world and that the rest of the people are not humans but "human-like creatures" i.e. ‘Gentiles’. From which they deduced a result that to exploit the "human-like creatures" is our birthright. To rob them, to suck their blood or to kill them is not a crime. It is clearly mentioned in The Talmud, that to deceive the other nations, to rob them, to steal their wealth and to exploit them is the right of Jews, that is why they want such a control over the world that the whole of mankind be brought down to the animal-level and the Jews keep gaining from the interest of their earnings and savings. The commencement of the rise of the Jews occurred after freedom from the Egyptian Pharaoh when Prophet Moses took the clan of six-hundred thousand from Egypt to Palestine. There, you (Prophet Moses) ordered the Jews to engage in war, but the whole nation clearly replied to Prophet Moses, which is stated in The Qur’an in Chapter 4, that "Go (Moses), you and your Lord fight, we are sitting here" In reply to their refusal for struggle, Almighty Allah forbade the land of Palestine to them for forty years and the nation kept wandering in the desert. During the same time, Prophet Moses departed and also Prophet Aaron, but after them, under the leadership of Prophet Moses’ guardian Yusha Bin Nun (Joshua), they invaded Palestine and conquered it. But instead of creating a government there, set-up ten small states consisting of ten tribes and always remained low. The result was that other Eastern nations occupied Palestine and took the Jews out from their homes. They regained consciousness after three-hundred years, that for recapturing Palestine and rising again, they need to struggle and under the leadership of King Saul, struggles took place and they got success. In that war, Prophet David had killed Goliath. The golden age for the Jews started after that success and for a hundred years, three kings King Saul, his son-in-law Prophet David and Prophet Solomon ruled. After Prophet Solomon, his kingdom got divided among his two sons. The northern part was called ‘Israel’ and the southern, ‘Judea’. In 700 B.C., the Assyrians destroyed the northern state. Only the small kingdom Judea remained persistent in which Jerusalem was also present. In reply to their disobedience and disloyalty to Allah, wrath was unleashed upon them in the guise of Iraq’s king Nimrod Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar killed thousands of Jews and destroyed the temple built by Prophet Solomon (The Temple of Solomon). He took six-hundred thousand Jewish men, women and children captive and took them to Iraq. In that age, Palestine remained empty of Jews. The Jews call it their ‘Era of Captivity’. Approximately a hundred years later, Iran’s king Cyrus defeated Iraq and allowed the Jews to go to Palestine again. After the return to Palestine, the Jews repented after the religiously reformative incitement by Prophet Ezra, then in that time they reconstructed the Temple of Solomon and their great kingdom by the name of "Macabi’s Wealth", though after a while, they got involved again in moral and religious downfall. So after that, Dhul-Qarnain (considered to be Alexander) completely devastated them and arrived at Punjab. After a while, The Romans established a government in Palestine. This attack of The Romans was not head-on but they let the resident sovereignties remain and the kings worked according to their wishes. Then when downfall came upon them and Allah placed The Romans above them, the arrival of Prophet Jesus took place in the same age but the Jews rejected him by calling him a magician and sorcerer and according to their beliefs, nailed him to the cross (crucified him). While our (the Muslim’s) belief is that a man of his exact resemblance was crucified and Prophet Jesus was taken up alive into the Heavens before his arrest. In 70 A.D., the Roman general Titus wreaked upon them as a havoc . He killed one-hundred and thirty-three thousand Jews in one day and exiled the rest from Palestine. The Jews term it the ‘Diaspora’. From that time till 1917, the Jews have been dissociated from Palestine. They were first permitted entrance into Jerusalem during the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar. But they were not permitted to reside here, demanded by the Christians of Jerusalem, who handed it over to the Muslims without any war. After that, the Jews remained subject of severe persecution. They were not allowed to live in cities, not even entrance except during specified times. In the previous century, Hitler became Nebuchadnezzar and Titus and unleashed wrath and torture upon the Jews and slaughtered them in millions. This genocide is known as the Holocaust. The third initiation of their rise occurred in 1947 when the Balfour Declaration came, that the Jews could come and inhabit Palestine. And so, the Jews set-up their clans in Palestine through corruption and malpractice and in 1948, Israel got established illegally. In 1948, the Arabs got engaged in war with Israel and tasted defeat. Again, an Arab-Israel war took place in 1967. In that six-day war, Israel deprived Egypt of most of its territories, Syria’s Golan Heights, Shurk, the West bank from Jordan and the whole of Jerusalem. From that time till now, the First Direction of Prostration of Muslims (the Al-Aqsa Mosque) is under the siege of the Jews. This is a brief account of the rise and fall of the Jews.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE PRESENT:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another noteworthy point here is that like there are Jews in different denominations of societies, in the same way in them are Orthodox Jews, secular-minded Jews and traditionalist Jews. The Orthodox are the best supporters of Greater Israel but though the secular and traditionalist Jews are not supportive of Greater Israel, they are in no way ready to hand-over Jerusalem to the Muslims and are helpful to the Orthodox in the construction of the Temple of Solomon. The first and foremost enemy of mankind is Satan The Accursed and the reason for his hatred for Adam’s Children is pride and arrogance, the reason being why Allah left the rest of the creations and made humans His caliphs. In the same way, the open enemy of Muhammad’s followers are the Jews and the reason for their hatred and enmity is also pride and arrogance because the Jews were stationed as the Muslim peoples before the arrival of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). After the declaration of the Prophethood and Apostlehood of The Prophet, they were deprived of their position. That’s the reason why that day and today, the Jews are the prime enemies of the Muslims. Another reason for the hatred of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the Jews, is that for nearly two-thousand years before The Holy Prophet, all the prophets were from the lineage of Prophet Jacob. When infact The Holy Prophet is from the lineage of Prophet Ishmael. And so from the very first day, the Jews started misleading the non-believing people of Makkah by saying that they are the open enemies of the Muslims from the very beginning. The Hypocrite of hypocrites, Abdullah Ibn Abi also became the tool of the Jews, wrapped himself in Islam and got inclusion in Muhammad’s people and never wasted any attempt to pose a threat to Islam and to personally overpower Prophet Muhammad. When infact the Benefector of The Worlds (The Prophet) setlled agreements with the Jews after the migration to Madina. But the Jews never ceased from their foul activities and their mislead anti-Islam fire during the Caliphate of Usman became wildfire and another Jew, Abdullah Bin Saba showed himself to be a Muslim and divided the nation (of Muslims) in two. One part the Usmani Shi’as and the other Ali’s Shi’ites which later on became Sunni and Shi’a respectively. On that basis, such a difference got created in the Muslim nation that one-hundred thousand Muslims got killed by each others’ swords and even today, this difference is the Weapon of Choice for the infidels. The basis for the bloodshed in Iraq nowadays are the Sunni-Shi’a disputes and that is why Iraq is severely devastated by this violence at the moment. The Jews proclaim Britain and America as the ‘New Israel’ and New York is called ‘Jew York’. Though the Catholics are not fully in the grip, they have accepted inferiority in front of the Jews. The future plan of the Jews is that there should be such a control over the world that it comes at the animal-level and the elders of the Jews assembled this program in 1897 which has been given the title ‘Protocols’. And the New World Order is in reality the ‘Jew World Order’. And so, their economic plan through the banking system is that the whole world be converted to labourers, they work and they snatch the big portion of their earnings in the form of interest. For this, they set-up organizations such as the World Bank and the IMF (International Monetary Fund). They have set-up many large-scale multinational companies. This is the program of the Jews which they are calling as ‘globalisation’. This globalisation is a project against mankind and there is a brilliant movement in Europe against it, but we don’t have knowledge of its dangers. The second in the current plan of the Jews is the formation of Greater Israel, that we should set-up a big Jewish state in the heart of the Arab world and in it will be all those areas in which the Jews were once inhabitant. In it they include Palestine, Syria, the South-Eastern part of Turkey, the fertile area of Egypt’s river Nile, the Northern area of Saudi-Arabia and Sacred Madina and their strivings for it are persistent. America wants to present Iraq to Israel after conquering it and Ariel Sharon said that "Soon our occupation will be in Iraq". The third plan of the Jews is the martyrdom of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the construction of the Third Temple of Solomon. The Dome of The Rock had been built on the very same place by the self-appointed caliph Abdul-Malik Marwan from where commenced the Mai’raj (Ascension of Heaven) of The Prophet (PBUH). Therefore, the Jews say that we will bring down the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of The Rock and make our temple. In this respect, they have no oppostion from anywhere. If only they have danger, it is from the followers of Muhammad (PBUH), though even the Muslim rulers don’t have the courage to talk in a threatful way to Israel. The Christians are completely tightened in their grip even though the Jews were the worst enemies of Prophet Jesus and the biggest proof of their hatred, is that according to the Christians, they nailed him to the cross. The land of Palestine is holy and sacred for the three revealed religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The analysis of the respect for Jews for Palestine has already been done. For the Christians, this country is important because this same locale is the hometown of Prophet Jesus i.e. this is where you (Jesus) were born and this is where you preached. Then here also, according to Christian beliefs, he was nailed to the cross and that cross is also preserved on which, according to Christian beliefs, Prophet Jesus was crucified. One-thousand years after Prophet Jesus, Crusades took place to dissociate the Holy Land from the Muslims during the peak of the second millenium, in which severe bloodshed took place. The Pope of the time misguided the European nations to return to Palestine. In 1099, when the Christians conquered Jerusalem, it was made a stream of blood but thanks to Allah, 88 years later, the braveheart Salahuddin Ayyubi defeated the Christians and took Jerusalem back. While now, the Protestant Christians of America are saying that ‘The Last Crusade’ is about to take place. But infact, that ‘Last Crusade’ has started. War-grounds have been made in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia. There is a wait for suitable time about Iran and Pakistan. The agendas of the Jews and the Christians against Islam and Muslims is common and both want that war to take place as soon as possible which is known as the ‘Armageddon’ in The Bible and the ‘Great Attack’ according to The Hadi’th (sayings of Prophet Muhammad). The world-diverting event (the destruction of the World Trade Center) was also a plot of the Jews. That kind of event is not in the control of someone else, when the whole of America has become the headquarters of the Israeli intelligence-agency ‘Mossad’ and for them, such an event is not difficult to do. That’s the reason the investigation-work of that event was suspended because it’s findings was leading towards the Jews. Now what is the solution for the land of Palestine? A justifiable solution is the one which was once the objective of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) and which currently is the objective of Hamas, that Israel’s formation is illegal and so Israel should be finished. And that the whole of Palestine should be given to its true inhabitants, the Arab Muslims. In the past, all the Arabs were with Palestine with this respect, but power makes the real decision. "The punishment of old crimes is sudden death". The world’s only superpower is Israel’s friend and helper. The Europeans are also the wellwishers of the Jews. And so, there is no hope of any faithfulness from anyone to give Palestine its right, that’s the reason the PLO has stepped back from the proposals of its past and now their proposal is ‘Okay, fine. Let Israel remain but a Palestinian state also comes into being.’. All the world’s eyes are on this small geography and the poor Muslim is being hit and almost all the Muslims too are willing to accept their defeat with this mindset and solution on the condition that Israel accepts the territorial limits before the 1967 Arab-Israel war.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-8542522721058321747?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/8542522721058321747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/note-following-article-has-been-written.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/8542522721058321747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/8542522721058321747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/note-following-article-has-been-written.html' title=''/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lYJPa4fII/AAAAAAAAAAk/8VjmIDPvrJo/s72-c/Jmp.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-2850815818040341385</id><published>2007-11-25T15:56:00.000+05:00</published><updated>2007-11-25T16:07:11.315+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='khalid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='america'/><title type='text'>THE REALITY OF THE AMERICAN AGENDA</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lWQ_a4fHI/AAAAAAAAAAc/5chZpqTfYJQ/s1600-h/Trotaa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136731699894844530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lWQ_a4fHI/AAAAAAAAAAc/5chZpqTfYJQ/s320/Trotaa.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; The following article has been written by respected Dr. Israr Ahmed, one of the most recognized and revered scholars of Islam and Comparative Religion today. He is also the founder of the Tanzeem-e-Islami. The material herein was originally written in Urdu. It has been carefully translated to English for reading purposes by Zaki Khalid, with the express permission of the Media Branch of the Tanzeem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OFFICIAL WEBSITE:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tanzeem.org/"&gt;www.tanzeem.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today in the whole world, especially in Pakistan, are the noise and slogans for the reforms of moderation. And our leaders are constantly busy in reaffirming to America that Pakistan is in agreement with your "bright" and "positive" agenda and soon our society will be a noted example of a "bright future". In this situation, it is important to understand what is the reality and what the motives are of America’s "bright" agenda. The American "bright" agenda is in full implementation in the West but it has not yet conquered and taken over all of mankind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Recently, Rand Corporation, which is the American thinktank and which also gives it’s opinions to the Defence Department of America has given some opinions in which it states that: (1) Those people who consider Islam to be their deen (way of life) instead of a mere religion are our prime enemies. They have to be eradicated by any means. (2) The traditionalist religious scholars who undertake the role of imam and who give religrous sermons have to be entangled in sectarian disputes because at any time they can team up with fundamentalist people and prove as danger for us. (3) The modernist Muslims should be given access to the print and electronic mediums. (4) Secularist people are in our fellowship from the beginning and so the traditionalist and fundamentalist religious scholars have to be eradicated and the modernist and secularist people have to be supported. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The question of observing hijab and with-holding respect does not at all arise due to the "bright" agenda. In the social system, this agenda has already covered atleast half the world although there is some presence and trace of shame and modesty in Asia and Africa and the family system is still persistent to some extent. A remarkable movement is taking place by America and the West on the subject of "A bright future and positivism" so that we also become like them. Infact, we become so liberal and "positive" that if the wife undergoes illegal sexual intercourse then she keeps doing it, it’s her choice. If the son and daughter are bachelors (unmarried), so what? Though the elite class in Muslim countries have already been set in these colors. That is, the high-class citizens have adopted the acts of non-observance of hijab, exploitation, explicitness and free choice of gender (including homosexuality). In the "bright" American agenda, you can fulfill your sexual desires by any means, the only prerequisite is the acceptance of choice from either sides. Forced sex is included in unlawful acts but willful sex is not included in any kind of law violations. Due to this "bright’ agenda, the family system got destroyed and the parents removed their chidlren from their homes after the lawful age of maturity. Be you a boy or a girl, earn and eat yourself. If we had a responsibility, then it was only till a specified period. Then it’s obvious what kind of ‘concern’ the children would have towards their parents. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;As a result, in the American and European societies, the mother and father are sent to ‘Old Houses’ upon reaching their old-ages. For the implementation of their views, the West upheld a Population Control Conference at Egypt in 1994 and the next year in Beijing whose agenda was based on "positive thinking" i.e. the liberation of women. After this, in June 2000, the Beijing Plus 5 Conference took place in which it was proposed that prostitution should be considered as a ‘respectful’ profession. Secondly, homosexuality, be it lesbianism or sodomy should be taken in normal orientation and should not be considered bad. Then the case that ‘women and men are equal’, their voting will be equal and the women will also be granted equal rights to give divorce. Then she can also demand money from her husband for taking care of her home-related and miscellaneous responsibilities because in a way she, is the ‘labourer’ of her husband. She can also demand money if she opts to undergo the pain during birth. So this is America’s "bright and positive" agenda which is being brought in front of us and it has been given the beautiful name of "Social Engineering" i.e. we have to have a new interpretation of the world’s social system and the General Assembly of the United Nations has favoured and accepted this programme and the "Islamic Republic of Pakistan" is also included in the list of countries which signed the pact. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Pakistan is the country which is quickly striving to implement on this agenda. The current government has granted women a representation of 33% at all levels which is not to be found in any democracy of the world, even in India. In this way, Pakistan is leading the rest in the race for the fulfillment of America’s "bright and positive" agenda. The United Nations and the American Government give millions in funding to the NGOs in Pakistan for the implementation of this agenda. Recently at a church in an American state, a woman named Ameena Wudood has performed the role of imam to the gathering of both men and women, to which the Western media has given much coverage. While according to the learned peoples of every school of jurisprudence of Islam, a woman can neither be a muezzin (the one who gives the call to prayer) nor an imam for the males. In the Hadi’th (the sayings of the Prophet), the women have only been given permission to lead the collective prayers of females, that also with some conditions.They want to create inbalances in our family system by shouting out the slogans of ‘equality of men and woman’ via the Social Engineering programme. And through these NGOs, a new educational system is being brought in the country in which most of the focus is also towards the case to trigger the thought in students as to why we should be under the ‘rule’ of parents or husbands. The last stage of this agenda has reached to its extremes in the West i.e. to free men and women from the relation of marriage and the birth of children without marriage i.e. the birth of bastards. A few years back, America’s former President, Bill Clinton, had said in a gathering that "Soon the majority of our nation will be based upon bastards". Infact his exact words were "Born without any wedlock" i.e. the birth of bastards without marriage. After full implementation in itself, the superpower of America wants to impose this agenda on the rest of the world by giving it the label of "Bright and Positive Thinking". This is the very reason why President Bush says we want to "modernize" Asia. Some laws of Shari’ah (religious laws) are in implementation in Arabia. Iran has done so. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The family system is strong in Pakistan and there is the abiding by to offering salaah (prayers) and fasting at the public level, so this will be the degradation of secularism. So all these have to be finished. In Afghanistan, a judicial infrastructure was being set-up which was snatched right off its roots (the Taliban). In Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf is busy in the implementation of the "bright" American agenda. If he receives more time, he will even supercede Kamal Ataturk. Our leaders should take to their consciousness and have to think over the fact that the "civilization" we want to implement on our country by being America’s slaves is itself dying in Europe and the West.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-2850815818040341385?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/2850815818040341385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/reality-of-american-agenda.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/2850815818040341385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/2850815818040341385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/reality-of-american-agenda.html' title='THE REALITY OF THE AMERICAN AGENDA'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lWQ_a4fHI/AAAAAAAAAAc/5chZpqTfYJQ/s72-c/Trotaa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676045361927385555.post-6279480446995415222</id><published>2007-11-25T15:42:00.000+05:00</published><updated>2007-11-25T15:49:20.487+05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lahore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='khalid'/><title type='text'>THE GLOBAL CONDITIONS, ISLAM &amp; PAKISTAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lSlPa4fGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/dLuFjEW4CVM/s1600-h/Gsip.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136727649740684386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lSlPa4fGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/dLuFjEW4CVM/s320/Gsip.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lSMPa4fFI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MF-Ayutr8l0/s1600-h/Gsip.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; The following article has been written by respected Dr. Israr Ahmed, one of the most recognized and revered scholars of Islam and Comparative Religion today. He is also the founder of the Tanzeem-e-Islami. The material herein was originally written in Urdu. It has been carefully translated to English for reading purposes by Zaki Khalid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OFFICIAL WEBSITE:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tanzeem.org/"&gt;www.tanzeem.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the subject, we will first have to understand what the present global conditions are. In my view, there are three stages of global condtions and the first stage which is the most prominent and in the knowledge of most people, is that America has attained the status as the sole supreme power in the world. There is not even a guess of it’s (harbi) power and this is the only reason why it’s pride and arrogance has risen so much that it has no concern and apprehension for the (muslima) rules. Now it doesn’t even have the concern of the views and opinions of it’s supporters. For the war against Iraq, there were large-scale demonstrations in America and Europe and the American Government didn’t give any heed to the demonstrations even for a (parkah). When the UNO (United Nations Organization) didn’t get ready to go with them, then it also gave them a push that keep remembering, we are able to isolate and separate anything. With respect to it’s (harbi) power, America is like a joyous elephant, against which there is no revolting power either in Europe or in Japan. Why the mention of the Islamic world? In the second stage is a universal system which has caught the whole world in it’s grasp and this system is not only ‘un-Godly’ but also against God i.e. secularism and this system consists of three fundamentals. It’s first fundamental is that in any collective aspect of the society, in the level of state and government, there is no interference of any God, any heavenly guidance, any revelation or any Shari’ah (Divine Laws) in the laws and affairs of the state. In short, God got separated from the collective social system. The relation of the second fundamental of secularism is with the economic system, that is the whole world’s economic system is based on the investment-policies with the curse (menace) of interest. With interest is it’s younger sister, gambling. This very gambling is the reason for the U-turns of the worldwide stock exchanges and treasuries and after gambling comes the third pillar which is insurance. The third fundamental has a system with shamelessness, exploitation, malpractice and liberal sex-adoption in which sexual practice is either between a man and a woman (heterosexualism), two women (lesbians) or two men (gays). These have open permittances as a result of which the family-system has been devastated and destroyed. After this is the free and liberal parental system in which prostitution is also considered as a well-respected and admired occupation. This system of exploitations and malpractice has been given the name of ‘Social Engineering System’ by the United Nations Assembly and it’s members are also from North Africa and especially Asia’s Muslim countries. Because generally on an overall scale, the family-system still exists in these countries. There is some value for shame and modesty and relations. In the third stage of the current global conditions are the religious clashes. These clashes are quite secret and the most effective and prominent of them is by the Jews which is now mankind’s greatest strategic plotter. The program of the Jews is to have an (iqtisadi) control over the world rather than a head-on war. Furthemore, their agenda is to establish ‘Greater Israel’ in the Middle East, then to construct the Third Temple of Solomon by bringing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Tomb of Zohra to martyrdom (‘demolishing’ them) and to put forth in it the Throne of David. The Christian forces have become the allies with the Jews for this plan and in the current situations, the exclusive enemy of the Jews and Christians is Islam and the Muslims and the biggest target is Pakistan. India is also included in the oppostion of Islam and Pakistan agenda. Now after the global conditions, analyse the situation of Pakistan "Is Pakistan an unsuccessful state? And is it’s future not bright? Is their a way for the Pakistani nation and the Pakistani people to escape?" The answer to both of these questions, according to me, is "Yes" and it is my belief that Pakistan’s countdown has begun and I divide it’s reasons in two. The first, real and fundamental and the second, immediate and foreign. The first is that the envisioner of Pakistan Allama Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah had said that "We desire Pakistan to present an ideal example of the teachings and basics of Islam to the whole world in the present age so that a light-house comes into being." But we forgot the real purpose of Pakistan. In a sense, Pakistan has lost it’s real dignity and now we are without any reason. With respect to relgion, the result is that we have gone against the promise we made to Allah by not implementing His system and when a nation goes agains the promise made to God, then collectively the epidemic of hypocrisy is produced and Allah hates hypocrisy more than unbelief. What are the various prssentations being given by the whole world with respect to the future of Pakistan? Firstly, I will give reference from a book by a Muslim writer Syed Abul Ma’aali titled ‘The Twin Eras of Pakistan’ which was published in 1992. In his book, the author has given a general perception that in 2006, Pakistan will be broken down into eight pieces. The second opinion is by the think-tank of the policy wing of the Foreign Ministry of America, which also comprises of the leaders of fifteen of America’s top insitutions that in 2020, no country will remain by the name of Pakistan. The third opinion is by Robert Keelan, who wrote in his article published in 2000 that Pakistan has become a useless state in all aspects and soon civil war will start in it. These opinions are not divine revelations, there are chances for them to be false. But the reflections of these predictions are present in the current atmosphere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Poetic Statement]: "The advice of your destruction are in the heavens"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The actual force behind the second foreign reason are the Jews and Israel, who want the eradication of Pakistan and atleast to demolish it’s atomic holdings so that Pakistan becomes a ‘pet’ nation of India. President Musharraf and his allies are thinking that our turn won’t come. They should come to know that our turn is meant (destined) to come. The views on the atomic holdings are very blurred. A very influential case has been prepared against us that the centre for the spread of atomic power in the world is Pakistan and we have accepted this claim by making our great scientist Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan confess it on television and at one point, even President Musharraf has said that an attack could be done on Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these sad and gloomy times, the road to escape and freedom is open and that is to do tawba (repentance) on government and public levels and direct ourselves towards Allah and establish the true reason for the formation of Pakistan i.e. Islam’s judicial system. I’m not saying that Islam should be implemented in an instant or in one day, neither is it something to be implemented in an instant. Atleast there should be the initiation of a true step. In the government level, the method of tawba (repentance) is that:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No legislation will be done repugnant to The Qur’an and Sunnah"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is, no law enforcement will be done agains The Qur’an and Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet) and the existing laws are also against the Shari’ah (divine laws), so they too have to be removed. Whereas in the public level, the tawba is that the public at individual levels decide upon contributing towards the obligations of the deen by leaving the haram (forbidden) items and agreeing upon the halal (permitted) ones. To abstain from shamelessness, exploitation, explicitness, etc. and completely bid farewell to the Western civilization&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/676045361927385555-6279480446995415222?l=deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/feeds/6279480446995415222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/global-conditions-islam-pakistan.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/6279480446995415222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/676045361927385555/posts/default/6279480446995415222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deenalhaqcouncil.blogspot.com/2007/11/global-conditions-islam-pakistan.html' title='THE GLOBAL CONDITIONS, ISLAM &amp; PAKISTAN'/><author><name>Zaki Khalid Iqbal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02401956918463707493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYm21SbBd60/R0lSlPa4fGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/dLuFjEW4CVM/s72-c/Gsip.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
