For every pain you endure,
For every fear that grips your heart,
For every worry that keeps you awake at night,
For every loss that you grieve over,
For anything & everything that you can’t handle, leave it to the Lord of the Worlds. He’s the best disposer of affairs!
With all due respect Dr. Sahab. There is always a third option.
A woman can live a respectful and independent life, being a working woman or a mother, or both together, or the life she chooses for herself, just like millions of women around the world do and are equally respected by millions of men. The problem lies with the men who would see them as ‘bazaari.’
Since you appreciate quotes, here is the Quran instructing men before women in Sura An-Nur,24:30.
“O Prophet! Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what they do.”
(Surah An-Nur, 24:30)
It clearly teaches us men first to respect women and purity begins with one’s own actions. After this, Allah also guides women with similar instructions:
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally appears...”
(Surah An-Nur, 24:31)
Sir, respect is always mutual and that is what the Quran teaches.
On a personal level, I feel we (men in general) have suppressed women enough for last many centuries and made them feel guilty for nothing. It’s time we correct ourselves first and let them flourish and follow their dreams like we want for ourselves.
I hope you will not take offence to this healthy criticism. May peace be upon you.
When your heart is heavy & burdened & your mind sees no way out, that’s when you need to trust the Almighty & depend on Him even more. Don’t entertain negative thoughts from Satan. Rise above it. It won’t be easy but you must do it. Bear utmost patience & He will find a way out.
Almighty. Help and protect the people of Palestine and Lebanon. Our hearts are heavy as we watch scenes unfolding daily. Ease their pain and suffering. Bestow Your Mercy upon them. Lift their affliction and make them victorious. Aameen.
No matter how bad things are, hold on to your inner peace. That's your greatest strength. Without it, you have nothing. Remember, nothing lasts. Everything will pass in this temporary life.
And meanwhile the move strengthens the PTI’s victimization narrative, emboldens its base, and brings more global attention to the party and its plight and to the state’s actions against it. And it also increases public anger, and not just from PTI supporters.
Big policy misstep.
Today’s the 3rd day Twitter has been restricted in Pakistan. It’s an own goal because (1) Many high-influence PTI supporters & some top members of its social media team are based abroad. (2) VPN downloads have been surging in Pakistan for many months.
