Eid ul Adha Mubarak

Eid ul Adha Mubarak to every one.

This Eid reminds us of the great prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) ’s sacrifice in front of the Almighty Allah.

“Surely Abraham was an example, obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the polytheists. He was grateful for Our bounties. We chose him and guided him unto a right path. We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the righteous.” (Qur’an 16:120-121)

“That was an exacting test indeed. We ransomed (Ismail) by substituting an animal sacrifice. And we preserved his history for subsequent generations. Peace be upon Abraham. We thus reward the righteous. He is one of our believing servants.”(Qur’an 37:106-111)

May Allah give us the same strength and feeling of sacrifice and taqwa.

“It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him.” (Qur’an 22:37)

Need more achievements like JF-17

Pakistan’s defense budget always revolve around army because of their influence on political governments and their active or not so good role in politics but luckily our air force has kept it’s professionalism despite the efforts by Ayub Khan who tried to involve Air Marshal Asghar Khan in politics, Yahya Khan ,Zia and Musharraf  tried the same thing but the standards set by Air Marshal Noor Khan and Asghar Khan kept them professional and up to the task to defend the nation and not to take part in country politics.

We need to focus on building a real smart air force which has always out performed our politically corrupt army in situations of war despite its small size and criminal negligence to build it.

JF-17 Thunder air craft is a good step towards strengthening our air space despite the small size of our air force as compared to our perceived threat.

JF-17 comes in medium high tech category equipped with state of the art avionics, ability to fire air to air missiles beyond visible range,state of the art radars, capability of air to air fueling, provision for stealth and other things which makes it a real useful weapon in our air inventory.

This achievement also shows the strength of Pakistan-China relationship and shows we can achieve more with this friendship.

Hopefully we will also achieve more in defence  technology especially air defence and will soon use our technical capabilities in defence for our civilian sector.

YEH HAIWANON KI BASTI HAI

YEH HAIWANON KI BASTI HAI
YA INSAANON KI MASTI HAI
JAHAN ZINDAGI HAR PAL MARTI HAI
AUR KHOON KAI AANSOO ROTI HAI
KAISA HAI YEH HAAL HOA
GHAZAB HOA BARBAD HOA
JO SAPNA KHUSHI KA DEKHA THA
WOH SAPNA PHIR SAI KHAAK HOA
PHIR LOG YEH HUM SAI KAHTAI HAIN
REHNAI DO AISI BAATON KO
JIN SAI KUCH HASIL NA HO
REHNAI DO IN UNDAAZON KO
MEHAIZ GUMAN HAIN YEH AFSANAI HAIN
IN KO SOCHNAI WALAI SIRF DEEWANAI HAIN
KHUD TAREEK IN RAHOON PER
BHATKAI HAIN GUMRAHI MEIN
LAIKIN PHIR BHI KEHTAI HAIN
SAARA JAHAN KION SUNA HAI
KHAMOSH MAUT KAI SAI HAIN
ROOSHNI ANKHON ANKH NAHI
ZINDAGI SANSON SANS NAHI
PHIR BHI CHAIN SAI BETHAI HAIN
YEH HAIWANON KI BASTI HAI
YA INSAANON KI MASTI HAI

KNOWLEDGE AND RELIGION–>Iqbal

KNOWLEDGE AND RELIGION-(Allama Muhammad Iqbal)

Learning whom God has made
The mate of heart and sight,
Like Friend of God can break
With ease all idols bright.
Cosmos and life are ore,
The world is one and same
The tale of old and new
Is merely false and lame.
A blossom can not thrive
In meadow full of trees,
Unless some drops of dew
Ally with pleasant breeze.
That ken is vision dim
In which the wise man’s lore
And sight that Moses viewed
Keep apart and merge no more.

Koi ab tak na yai samjha ke insaan–>Iqbal

Ajab waiz ki deen-dari hai yaa rab
Adawat hai usay sarey jihan se

Koi ab tak na yai samjha ke insaan
Kahan jata hai aata hai kahan sai

Wahein se raat ko zulmat mili hai
Chamak taron nai payee hai jahan sai

Hum apni dard mandi ka fasana
Suna kartai hein apnai raaz daan sai

Barhi bareek hein waiz ki chalein
Laraz jata hai aawaz-e-Azaan sai

Congratulations to Aisam Al Haq and James Cerretani

Pakistan’s Aisam ul Haq and USA’s James Cerretani beat Swiss team of Roger Federer and M. Chiudinelli in ATP Basel tournament.

The doubles team beat the Swiss favorites for the match in straight set with scores of 6-4 and 6-3.

Tennis has been a real neglected sports in Pakistan despite having a great following all over the world but somehow players like Aisam ul Haq on their own create some chances for their selves and the country to record some glory.

It’s a real great achievement for a country where government doesn’t care about and support tennis.

Congratulations to Aisam Al Haq and James Cerretani!
