Hazrat Sheikh Junaid Baghdadi R.A

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 08:11:00 +0000

HIS POSITION IN THE SILSILA : Shaikh al Itlaaq, Mamba-e-Israar, Sultan-e-Tariqat, Hazrat Shaikh Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) is the eleventh Imam and Shaikh of the Silsila Aaliyah Qadiriyah Barakaatiyah Razaviyah Nooriyah.

BIRTH: He was born around the year 218 Hijri in Baghdad Shareef.

NAME: His name is Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). He was known as Abul Qasim and he was blessed with titles such as, Sayyidut Taaifa, Ta’oosul Ulama, Zujjaan and Lisaanul Qaum.

SHEIKH-E-TARIQAT: He is the mureed and Khalifa of Hazrat Sirri Saqti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu).

HIS CHILDHOOD: When he was seven years old, he went to Haramain Sharifain in the company of Hazrat Sirri Saqti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). When they reached the Haram Shareef, four hundred Ulama were seated there, discussing the topic of Shukr (Gratefulness). All of the Ulama presented their views during this sitting. Hazrat Sirri Saqti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) then turned to Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) and said, “O Junaid, you too should say something.” He lowered his sight for a few moments, and then said, “Shukr is this, that you should not be disobedient through whatever bounties Allah has blessed you with, and you should not use it as a means of disobedience and causing distress.” On hearing this, all the Ulama said together, “O coolness of our eyes, whatever you have said is the truth, and you are honest in your words, we cannot say better than what you have said.” Hazrat Sirri Saqti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) said, “O my dear son, from where did you learn such exemplary words?” Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) said, “This is through the blessing of your esteem companionship.” [Masaalikus Saalikeen]

HIS EXCELLENCE: He was a great Aalim and Mufti. He was ahead of all in wisdom and eloquence. The only people who could not see the station of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) were those who were blind in faith. He was known as the voice of the people, but he always called himself Abdul Masha’ikh (the servant of the masters). Many of the Ulama also called him Sultanul Muhaqiqeen. He had reached very high levels in Shariat and Tariqat. Many great Shaikhs followed his silsila. He was the greatest Shaikh of his era. He spent time in the hidmat of Hazrat Muhaasibi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). Once someone asked Hazrat Sirri Saqti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu), “Can a mureed’s rank surpass the rank of his Shaikh?” Hazrat Sirri Saqti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) said, “Yes, it is possible. The perfect example is right before you. I am the Peer of Junaid Baghdadi, but he is more exalted than me.” Once a Sayyid who lived in Jilan, left home with the intention of Hajj. On his journey, he passed through Baghdad Shareef. He thus presented himself in the Darbaar of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). Hazrat asked him where he had come from and he said that he was from Jilan, and was a descendant of Hazrat Ali (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) then said, “Your forefather Hazrat Ali (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) used to draw two swords. One against the kufaar and mushrikeen, and the other against his nafs. Which sword do you draw?” When the man heard this, he went into a spiritual state and began to roll on the ground. He then said, “This is my Hajj, put me onto the path of Allah.” Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) said, “Your heart, is the special Haram of Allah, thus you should try to the best of your ability no to allow any non-mahram to enter it.” [Kashful Mahjoob pg.119] HIS CHARACTER AND HABITS: Even though Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) was such a great Wali, he was very humble. He always showed great respect to others, even to those who were not as exalted as him. Once he said to his mureeds, “If only I knew that it was better to read two rakaats of nafl than being with you, then I would have not sat amongst you.” He kept fast for most of his life. Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) initially had a business, and used to sell mirrors. His manner was that he used to enter his shop and then read four hundred rakaats of nafil salaah. This, he continued for many years. He then left his shop and sat in the khidmat of his Peer-o-Murshid. He took a room in the house of his Peer and then spent his time there cleansing his heart. When he used to enter the state of Muraqiba (spiritual ecstasy), he would remove the musalla from under him as he did not wish to concentrate on anything. He only engrossed himself in the love of Allah and His Rasool (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). He spent forty years in Muraqiba. For thirty years, he stood after esha until fajr and make Zikrullah. He used to make his fajr salaah with the wudhu of esha. He says, “For twenty years, I did not miss the Takbeer-e-Oola (First Takbeer of Namaaz in Jamaat), and if the thought of any worldly thing entered my mind during namaaz, then I would repeat my salaah, and if I thought of Jannat or the Hereafter in my salaah, then I used to make Sajdah-e-Sahw.”

HIS EXCELLENCE IN THE COURT OF RASOOLULLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam): A Buzroog narrates, that once he dreamt of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) was also seated in the Mehfil of the Holy Prophet (SallallahuAlaihi Wasallam). He then saw that a person came and resented a query to the Beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Hand it over to Junaid. He will write the answer.” The person then said, “Ya Rasoolallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) may my parents be sacrificed at your feet. How can it be given to Junaid in your presence?” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Just as the Prophets are proud of their entire Ummah, I am proud of Junaid.” [Khazinatul Asfiyah vol.1 pg.86]

HIS LECTURES: Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) spent his entire life, serving the Deen of Allah and His Beloved Rasool (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Once his Peer-o-Murshid asked him to deliver a lecture and he said that he did not find it ethical to lecture in the presence of his Peer. One night, he dreamt of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) who commanded him to lecture. When morning came, he went to his Peer and found that his Peer was already awaiting his presence. As he entered the Khanqah, his Peer said, “We have all been asking you to lecture. Now the Beloved Rasool (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has given you the command to speak.” He asked his Peer how he had known of his dream, and he said, “Last night I made Deedar of Allah Subhaanahu Wata’ala and I heard a voice which said that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) had already commended Junaid to lecture.” He agreed to lecture on condition, that there were not more than forty people in his lectures. It was agreed and he delivered his first lecture. During his first lecture, eighteen people passed away. He then stopped his lecture and went back home. [Kashful Mahjoob pg 201]

Questions Asked:
Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (R.A) was famous in giving good answers in the light of QURAN and SUNNAH.

Question: what is sincerity?
Junaid Ans: It was a secret between GOD and his servant, angels would know nothing about it to record, nor satan could know it to spoil it nor a whim(khayal) could affect it.
Quran: "On the day of resurrection angels will submit sealed records of deeds to GOD, than GOD will tell them to accept certain deeds and reject others, angels will say that they know that the deeds are good ones, angels know nothing about one's intention. GOD will say these (rejected) deeds were not done to please me and i only accept deeds that are done only to please Me".

This is true sincerity

Question: what is modesty?
Junaid Ans: It was about being aware of GOD's favours and one's ungratefulness(nashukri). One should be ashamed of being ungrateful for GOD's favours. One is to feel humbled on realizing the favours GOD grants to him.
Quran:: "And if you count GOD's favours, you will never .... calculate them"
Junaid: Realizing how we are negligent and ungrateful to GOD, should make us feel ashamed and humble before GOD, THE Almighty.

Question: what is patience?
Junaid Ans: It was enduring(bardasht karna) suffering without frowning(mathay pe bal na laana or shikwa). It is about accepting GOD's decree(hukam). A true patient person should feel content even on facing tribulations(musibat), he should totally submit himself to GOD.

Question: what is magnanimity(firakh dilana)?
Junaid Ans:
-1- Forgiving the mistakes of one's fellow brothers.
-2- Every one might be wronged by others, but enduring(maaf karna) this to keep good relations with one's muslim brothers was a sign of magnanimity, he also said, it also meant helping others and avoding harming them.
-3- Generous to others, without harming them.
-4- Help the needy, be good to others and benefit them with your knowledge.

Question: How one could draw close to GOD.
Junaid Ans: One could be close to GOD without seeing Him. GOD is close to his servants though they do not see Him. He added: GOD was far from people but would never abandon them.
Quran: "And if my servants ask you about Me, surely I am near, I answer the prayers of he who calls Me, let them respond to My call and believe in Me, that they may be rightly guided."

A SINCERE MUREED: Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) had various mureeds, but there was one particular mureed, towards whom he paid special attention. A few disciples were not pleased with this and asked him why he gave preference to the mureed over others. Hazrat said that he is the most intelligent and wise amongst all of them, and it was for this reason that he gave preference to him. Hazrat then said, “Let me prove this to you.” He gave a chicken and a knife to each mureed, and asked them to sacrifice it where none would be able to see them. Each of the mureeds found a very quite and secluded area, and sacrificed the chicken. This one mureed, came back without slaughtering the chicken. Hazrat asked why he did not slaughter the chicken, and he said, “Huzoor, wherever I went, I found the Qudrat of Allah present there, and I knew that He is All Seeing. It is for this reason that I had no option but to return without success.” Hazrat then said, “Now, did you hear his answer? This is the reason he is so dear to me.”

KARAAMATS: Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) says, “The greatest Karaamat is to remain firm on the Shariat-e-Mustafa (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).” There is no doubt, that Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) was very firm on the Shariah, and his every action was the reflection of the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). A few of his karaamats are mentioned below. There was a mureed of Hazrat who used to live in Basra. He once intended to commit a sin. The moment this thought entered his heart, his entire face turned black. When he looked into the mirror, he was amazed to see his condition. He was very ashamed and stayed in doors. After three days, the blackness disappeared and his face returned to its original colour. On the same day, a person delivered a letter to him, which was from his Peer-o-Murshid, Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (RadiallahuTa’ala Anhu). When he opened the letter, he found the following written inside, “Keep your heart in control, and remain respectfully as a servant (of Allah). For three days and three nights, I had do to the job of a laundryman, so that I may wash away the blackness of your face.” [Masaalikus Saalikeen] Once a ajoosi (fire worshipper) put on a zanaar (a so-called sacred thread worn by fire (worshippers), and then disguised himself as a muslim by putting on the arabian garb. He then presented himself before Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) and said, “I have come to ask the meaning of a Hadith Shareef, which says, “Itaqu bi firaasatil Mo’min Fa Innahu yanzuroo bi Noorillaahi” (Beware of the spiritual sight of a true believer, for he sees with the Noor of Allah). Could you explain the meaning of this Hadith?” Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) heard his question and smiled. He said, “It means that you should break your zanaar, leave kufr and accept Islam.” When he heard Hazrat’s reply, he was astonished, and immediately recited the Kalima Shareef and accepted Islam. [Tazkiratul Awliyah pg.233] Once, there was a mureed of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu), who felt that he had perfected himself (become Kaamil). He thus, began to live in total seclusion. At night, he used to dream of an angel, which used to present a camel before him. He used to then sit on the camel, and the angel would take him on a journey of Jannat. He used to enter a place that was very beautiful. He used to partake in delicious food and drinks, and he saw the most handsome people there. After a while, he would return to his home. He reached such a state, that he began to tell people, “I am amongst those who visits Jannat daily.” This message reached Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). Hazrat then went to visit him, and found him sitting with great pomp and splendour. Hazrat asked him about his claims, and he explained everything in detail. Hazrat said, “Tonight, when you reach this place, you must read Laa Howla wa Laa Quwwata illa Billaa Hil Aliyil Azeem” That night, when he had the dream and he reached the so-called Jannat, he read as Hazrat instructed him to. The moment he read this, all those in his dream began to shriek and flee from him. He then saw that he was sitting on a donkey, and there were skeletons in front of him. On seeing this be became afraid, and realised his mistake. All that he was seeing was an illusion of shaitaan. He immediately rushed to Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) and repented for his behaviour. He also learnt, that for a mureed to be by himself is like taking poison.

HIS JALAAL: Due to his piety and knowledge, Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) became very famous in Iraq. There were however those, who were jealous of his fame. They continuously made accusations against him, and also complained against him to the Khalifa. The Khalifa said that they could not do anything to him as long as there was no evidence against him. The Khalifa then said that he had purchased a very beautiful slave girl, whose beauty outshone all the women of the city. He thus commanded that she be dressed in the most beautiful clothes and adorned with precious pearls and diamonds. Once she had been dressed, he called her and said, “I want you to go to where Junaid is and remove your veil from over your face and tell him that you want to be his, and that you have become weary of the world. All that you want is to live with him, and for him to help you to gain closeness to Allah.” The Khalifa then appointed a servant to go with her, so that he may be witness to whatever may transpire. The woman presented herself before Hazrat and removed her veil, saying what the Khalifa had commanded. Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) looked up at her once and said something. The woman, could not bear the sight of the Jalaal of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) and fell to the ground and died. When this message reached the Khalifa, he was very sad. He said, “Some people say things about the Masha’ikh which they should not say. The Shaikh has reached a level that he is able to see that which our sights cannot venture.” [Shajratul Kaamileen pg.153/154]

GEMS OF WISDOM: Some of his beautiful and wise sayings are being presented, so that we may read and make amal upon them.

“A Sufi is like the earth, onto which all the dirt is thrown and yet it blossoms into a green asture.”

“Tasawwuf is that which kills you and lives by itself. The most powerful relationship is that of the servant to his Creator. When he tries to understand the secrets of Tauheed, all roads are sealed to the creation, except the road to the Beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).”

“Do not follow him, who follows the Quran and leaves the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu AlaihiWasallam).”

“The evil thoughts (waswasah) of the nafs are worse than the waswasah of shaitaan. Shaitaani waswasah can be neutralized by reciting La Houla… but it requires struggle to overcome the waswasah of the nafs.” “A person becomes a human being by virtue of character, not by appearance.”

“Obedience to the nafs is the foundation of corruption.”

“One who considers his nafs to be evil is a good servant of Allah.”

“He who does not complain and patiently bears hardships is noble.”

“Blindness is better for the eye which does not derive lesson from the creation of Allah Ta’ala. Dumbness is better for the tongue which does not make the Zikr of Allah Ta’ala. Deafness is better for the ear which does not listen to the truth. Death is better for the body which does not worship Allah Ta’ala.”

“Ikhlaas (sincerity) demands that you deem your good deeds not worthy of acceptance in the Exalted Court of Allah Ta’ala.”

“By renouncing the world and adopting seclusion, Imaan remains safe, the body healthy and the heart happy.”

“One who guards his heart, guards the Deen.”

HIS KHULAFA: Some of his most respected Khulafa are: Hazrat Abu Bakr Shibli, Hazrat Mansoor Abraar, Hazrat Shah Muhammad bin Aswad Dinoori and Hazrat Shah Ismaeel Al Aziz (Ridwaanullahi Ta’ala Alaihim Ajma’een).

WISAAL: When Hazrat became aware of his passing away, he asked for those present to assist him in wudhu, which they did. They had forgotten to make khilaal of his beard, so he reminded them of this. He then went into Sajdah and began to weep profusely. Those present asked, “Hazrat, why do you weep so much inspite of having worshipped so much?” Hazrat replied, “Junaid has never been in so much need as he is now.” He then began to recite the Quran, so one mureed said, “Hazrat, are you reciting Quran Shareef ?” Hazrat said, “What better time is there than now, when my book of deeds will soon be closed. I am seeing my deeds before me, hanging in the air by a thin thread as it sways from the wind blowing against it. I am not sure if this wind is one of union, or one of absolution. On one hand, I am seeing the angel of death, and on the other hand I am seeing the Pul Siraat. There is the Most Supreme Judge, and the path is there. I am not sure of which path I will pass through.” After

saying this, he completed the recitation of the Quran. He read seventy verses of Surah Baqarah. He then began reading a tasbeeh on his fingers. When he reached the Shahaadat finger (index finger), he lifed his finger and said, “Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem”. He then closed his eyes, and the soul left his body, allowing him to travel from this mundane world into the glorious hereafter, on Friday, the 27th of Rajab, 297 or 298 Hijri.

After his wisaal, those giving him ghusl wished to put water on his eyes, when they heard an unseen voice saying, “Do not touch the eyes of My beloved, since those eyes that have closed in My remembrance, shall not open before they see Me.” They then tried to open his fingers, and the voice said, “Those fingers that have been closed in My name, shall only open on My command.” [Masaalikus Saalikeen vol.1 pg 308].

MAZAAR SHAREEF: His Mazaar Shareef is in a place called Shaunizia, which is in Baghdad Shareef. Once someone asked Hazrat Abu Bakr Shibli (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) a masla (religious query) whilst he was at the Mazaar of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu). He said, I feel ashamed to answer in front of the Mazaar of Hazrat as I felt ashamed to answer in his presence, for I still feel that his sight is upon me.

AFTER HIS WISAAL: After his wisaal, a pious person dreamt of him and asked about the questions of the Angels Munkar and Nakeer. Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) said, “The angels came to me and asked me who is my Lord, and I smiled and said, “My Lord is He, Who took the pledge from me on the first day, thus what need is there for me to answer to the servants, after I have already answered to the King.” The angels then left me and said, “He is still drowned in love and is resting in the same love.”

Steve Job dies

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:49:00 +0000

Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

"[Photos: Steve Jobs through the years]

The homepage of Apple's website this evening switched to a full-page image of Jobs with the text, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011."

Clicking on the image revealed the additional text: "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world's first personal computer, the Apple II.

Shortly after learning of Jobs' death, Wozniak told ABC News, "I'm shocked and disturbed."
Industry watchers called him a master innovator -- perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison -- changing the worlds of computing, recorded music and communications.

In 2004, he beat back an unusual form of pancreatic cancer, and in 2009 he was forced to get a liver transplant. After several years of failing health, Jobs announced on Aug. 24, 2011 that he was stepping down as Apple's chief executive.

Video Source: http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/26839368

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," Jobs wrote in his letter of resignation. "Unfortunately, that day has come."

One of the world's most famous CEOs, Jobs remained stubbornly private about his personal life, refusing interviews and shielding his wife and their children from public view.

"He's never been a media person," said industry analyst Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, after Jobs resigned. "He's granted interviews in the context of product launches, when it benefits Apple, but you never see him talk about himself."

The highlights of Jobs's career trajectory are well-known: a prodigy who dropped out of Reed College in Oregon and, at 21, started Apple with Wozniak in his parents' garage. He was a multimillionaire by 25, appeared on the cover of Time magazine at 26, and was ousted at Apple at age 30, in 1984.

In the years that followed, he went into other businesses, founding NeXT computers and, in 1986, buying the computer graphics arm of Lucasfilm, Ltd., which became Pixar Animation Studios.

He was described as an exacting and sometimes fearsome leader, ordering up and rejecting multiple versions of new products until the final version was just right. He said the design and aesthetics of a device were as important as the hardware and software inside.

In 1996, Apple, which had struggled without Jobs, brought him back by buying NeXT. He became CEO in 1997 and put the company on a remarkable upward path.

By 2001 the commercial music industry was on its knees because digital recordings, copied and shared online for free, made it unnecessary for millions of people to buy compact discs.

Jobs took advantage with the iPod -- essentially a pocket-sized computer hard drive with elegantly simple controls and a set of white earbuds so that one could listen to the hours of music one saved on it. He set up the iTunes online music store, and persuaded major recording labels to sell songs for 99 cents each. No longer did people have to go out and buy a CD if they liked one song from it. They bought a digital file and stored it in their iPod.

In 2007, he transformed the cell phone. Apple's iPhone, with its iconic touch screen, was a handheld computer, music player, messaging device, digital wallet and -- almost incidentally -- cell phone. Major competitors, such as BlackBerry, Nokia and Motorola, struggled after it appeared.

By 2010, Apple's new iPad began to cannibalize its original business, the personal computer. The iPad was a sleek tablet computer with a touch screen and almost no physical buttons. It could be used for almost anything software designers could conceive, from watching movies to taking pictures to leafing through a virtual book.

Another PAWN down...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 19:04:00 +0000

In the game of chess there are 6 type of pieces used whose points and privileges vary from each other. The King has maximum of 200 points and pawn has minimum of 1 point. The king is only 1 and most valuable while pawns are more in number but least valuable. There are times in game when pawn are sacrificed to save the king/queen or any other more valuable piece. But "after the game King and pawn go into the same box" either in both situations winning or losing.

This proverb leads us to its distressful meaning where lies the factual power of this saying King may refer to our rulers, pawns are the people and box is coffin where every one has to go after the game and there will be no difference or inequality among king or pawn thus proving "death is a great equalizer" or a temporary equal state exist during prayers after that status prevails

EK HI SAF MEIN KHARE HO GAYE MAHMOOD-O –AYAZ
NA KOI BANDA RAHA NA KOI BANDA NAWAZ
BANDA-O, SAHEB-O, MUHTAJ-O, GHANI EK HUWE,
TERI SARKAR MEIN AAYE TO SABHI EK HUWE

It is seen that for past few years pawns of Pakistan are facing the menace of so called terrorism and killing many innocent pawns during this span but in a recent incident that took place in Karachi near Benazir Bhutto park on 8 June 2011. The unarmed youth Sarfraz who was a student of matric class was killed by rangers, who accuse the victim of theft and involvement in criminal activities judged merciless on the spot and shot him two bullets. It is a bizarre situation that the people who are appointed to protect the people start killing them result in uprising among the Pakistani pawns, even in chess white king cannot strike white pawn "NOT ALLOWED". Similar incident took place few days back when FC men killed five Chechen people brutally, and a journalist Saleem Shahzad found dead near Islamabad who was coming for an interview at a local tv station (duniya) was kidnapped and found dead near Mandi Bahauddin. Shahzad had complained about being threatened by Pakistan (ISI) agency.

Pawns of Pakistan will face this music until and unless they select their king wisely on merit, at a moment the king of Pakistan have negative 200 points with a fabulous corrupt history and sarcastic, philosophical smile. The game will finish and the status of pieces does not matter as we think it does, perhaps there are some other elements that will give king and pawns a value and purpose. The game will end soon then comes the box so get real...

The 1967 Mustang GT500 car from gone in 60 seconds starring Nicolas Cage was really the show stopper. This celebrity car was destroyed during the bridge jump and crush scene but repaired later on for auctioning.

Imran Khan dharna to stop DRONE...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 18:30:00 +0000

PESHAWAR- 24 April 2011 Imran Khan ended two day sit-in protest at Hayatabad against the drone attacks which US army is conducting for more than 8 years in our land and killing innocent people in the name of terrorists which lead to a series of condemnation(MUZAMAT) by all party leaders including chief of army staff. The condemnation is seen on television headlines by political leaders for some time which vanishes when another incident took place hence overriding the old one. Since the birth of Pakistan people are taking this bitter pill because of the calamity of leaders which they are facing since then.

But for past couple of years it is observed that people of Pakistan are gathering under the flag of PTI as it was seen on 23/24 April protest when a flock of people united for a cause with Imran khan along other party leaders to stop drone attacks in various parts of Pakistan that are killing 90% of innocent people and according to a local Malik(tribesman) 18 out of 20 victims of drone attacks are innocent.

He threaten that if drone attacks are not stopped he/PTI will block the NATO supply in peshawar, and blamed present government for all the innocent killing. The whole nation are condemning or falling prey to these acts but our leaders paying lip service to stop these attacks, adding that he will never compromise on national interests.

Other PTI leaders were also present in protest including Dr. Yaseen Rahid.
