PPP’s failure in Karachi is years of unchecked development. You cannot turn the entire city into housing societies and expect this concrete jungle to deal with climate change. The water literally has nowhere to go.
The videos coming out of the city are harrowing. Stay safe ❤️
Visited I.I. Chundrigar Road, which is also clear & traffic can be seen to be moving normally after heavy rain. There is some water on the sides which is being brushed out. The area of Tower is also clear while some water around the internal streets of old city area is also being pumped out
This Pashtun woman asks a valid question, & Zakir Naik dodges it & proceeds to humiliate her. So blinded by his arrogance that he can't see that he's the one who looks foolish. These are the kinds of charlatans that the state loves to promote to cover for their own failures.
Saw a guy riding a bike in the middle of
Shahrahefaisal with his double cabin tagging behind to shield him from the traffic while the working class struggles to afford fuel for basic commute. Privilege of the Pakistani elite speaks loud and clear.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has banned X in Pakistan, yet he frequently violates the ban by posting on X using a VPN. This kind of joke is rarely seen elsewhere in the world.
The number of total valid votes is greater than total number of votes casted.
Nawaz Sharif should be ashamed of himself for stealing public mandate. #مینڈیٹ_پر_ڈاکا_نامنظور
Consistently poor customer service by @HBLPak. Have never had such a pathetic banking experience. All your representatives are uninformed with each one of them giving a different solution to the same problem. Can someone please get in touch?@HBLCare
it is so fucking sinister that all of these white authors write their little dystopian novels about oppression and resistance then support apartheid in real life
The descendents of the Holocaust survivors imposing the same cruelty and massacre that their ancestors suffered. Why then did we condemn the genocide of the Jews? Did history teach them nothing?
I know many of you struggle with grief. So do I sometimes. So, I want to share a story that became a game changer for me. It is now one of the most important stories I have ever heard. It is about grief.
A friend shared this with me when i was sobbing on Abus quls:
A Saudi woman lost her son & a Pakistani woman came to do afsos. The Pakistani was screaming and crying for the Saudi woman to have patience to bear the loss.
The Saudi mother looked at the Pakistani woman and after a while of listening to her screaming, quietly asked her to give her the gold bangle she was wearing.
The Pakistani woman looked surprised. But she took of her bangle and handed it to the mourning mother, who wore it.
After a while the Saudi mother asked the Pakistani woman to ask her to return the gold bangle.
So the bemused Pakistani woman asked for her bangle to be returned.
And the Saudi mother took the gold bangle off her wrist and returned it to the Pakistani woman. Then she said gently,
“THIS is what just happened to me. Now I could have cried returning your bangle, I could have felt bad, thought I don’t want to let it go, it looks so good on my wrist. I want to keep it forever. OR I could say THANK YOU for trusting me so quickly and giving me your beautiful bangle, without a question.
Allah gave me my beautiful Angel for 15 years. Now it’s time for me to thank Allah for trusting me with such a precious gift for 15 years. For me to thank Allah for the beautiful memories of love. As my boy belonged to Allah, & has returned home. I am overwhelmed by gratitude. I am blessed. I feel the loss, but I know I will transition and be with him again some day. So please don’t scream and cry for me.”
I was stunned.
Allah gave me my Abu for 50 years.
I work with children who have never seen their fathers or whose fathers have abandoned them. They have no loving memories, no beautiful stories to share about their Baba.
I too, am blessed, I too am overwhelmed with gratitude.
Yes sometimes I find myself craving for his voice, his physical presence, his smell, his laughter. But that is quickly taken over by a feeling of great gratitude. It’s taken over by amazing stories and memories. I smile. I am happy. At peace. Alhamdolillah
I send Baba my love and pray for him, 2 extra nafals in every prayer.
I do service in his name and most of all I thank Baba, for being my guardian Angel and making sure I don’t miss a prayer, and am punctual about my salat.
I thank Allah for keeping Baba alive in my heart, my head and letting him nudge me to be so diligent about my salat.
Sadness is there but so is joy and gratitude.
Har mushkil ke saath aasani.
I CHOOSE to focus on the asaani
Every time.
Allah reham karay, hum sub ko azmaishoN se door rakhay. Apne Rehem aur shafqat kay noor se humko guide karay.
I hope this post facilitates your healing.
Love and duas always. Your Nado
