La Phir Ek Baar Wahi Baadah-o-Jaam Aye Saaqi! Haath Aajaye Mujhe Mera Maqaam Aye Saaqi! O Cup-bearer! Give me again that wine of ‘love for You’; Let me gain the real place, my soul desires!

The feminine is ilahah. In...

After crossing this road there is one more road to cross which isn’t the main road but is normally busy because of the construction of the...

Vande Matharam and Islam

I reached the mosque only to see that the gates were locked. I was wondering where to go for the prayers. Then suddenly my mind said me that there is a small hall in the top floor of the nearby Mall named Forum. So I went there and had...

Tips @ Filling Fuel in your Vehicles
FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature...

"Caution: There is Another anti-Islamic Site" - by...
“Caution: There is Another anti-Islamic Site” Why issuing an alert letter is precisely the wrong thing to do “The most anti-Islamic site will die if it faces a frozen counter. That would happen if you just leave it alone. But if you are out there telling everyone about it and asking them to do the same, you are in effect volunteering as their publicity...

VERY GOOD COMPARISON
I got this as a forward in a mail. Thought of sharing it with others. Indeed it is a point to ponder… Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist! Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God But when Muslimah does the same she’s oppressed ...
