We don't hate Uluma, we hate the politicians inside them

 Being Muslims we respect Ulumae-Kiram.. No doubt we still have love for Islam and Love for Islam in our blood.. At least ALLAH is observing us and our deeds.. Now the question arises when in a so called democratic country An Aalim become a part of Elections and get success.. Does it mean He is beyond the law??? Does it mean it is HARAM to ask him or his party why he is doing this or that??? Does it suits them to call any one YAHOODI Agent whenever they required?? Does it suits them to win elections in the name of ISLAM and leave the nation till next elections??? Off course not....

You know why people discuss them.. Because they are the ones who have big responsibilities then the others.. They are the ones who are expected more in terms of fight for their rights.... By discussing this all.. Nobody hate ULumaa... Yes people hate the politicians inside them.. Those politicians who earned haters for Islam.. Moreover.. About Imran Khan/... Of course we support him and Love him.. But this is only confined/limitted till he is speaking for the rights of the People of Pakistan, the poor, the needy and for the justice.. The day he became disloyal to our Religion/honor/ dignity and prosperities.... I will be the first one to raise my voice against him and his policies.... Because it is the only thing I can do at the moment...

Thought provoking.... Easy to do

One friend posted this quotation in a group common to us. It made me realize many things. Posting here his quotation and my thoughts.... 

جس بچے کو گھر میں اگنور کیاجائے تو وہ اونٹ پٹانگ حرکتیں کر کے لوگوں کو اپنی طرف متوجہ کرنے کی کوشش کرتا ہے ۔ بالکل یہی حالت لبرل طبقے کی ہے ، یہ لوگ معاشرے کے مسترد کردہ لوگ ہیں اس لئے یہ ایسی حرکتیں اور منفرد باتیں کرتے ہیں تاکہ لوگوں کی توجہ پاسکیں ، ان کوپوری سفید دیوار نظر نہی آتی لیکن اس دیوار پر لگاہوا چھوٹا سے دھبہ ان کی آنکھ کاتارہ بن 

 I agree to your statement as this is the dilemma of our society?? Now a question arises. …. Do we have any plan being a true Muslim for these LIBERALS to enlighten them with the true religion of Islam??? …. Are we playing our role correctly to bring the true teachings of Islam on social media???Let me tell you... Nobody else on this earth is damaging the face of Islam as we did and still we are doing...

 Let me know how can we attract these people towards the right way.. Can’t you see.. ..We are promoting Haters among people, even among the Muslims??? Do you know what it results???/ Let me tell you by posting like this you cannot promote Love , harmony, peace and the true teachings of Islam... And by calling it CHAWKAY and Chakkay you are actually insulting the true spirit of Muslims... Rather I would suggest.. Please bring love, attractions and peace through your posts. Please promote the true face of Islam by posting Quranic versus and Ahadees on how we can make this society a balanced Muslims society... By pots like this we are making difference between people... we are dividing them into more separations... For GOD sake.. Don’t divide us any more... Islam always spread by Love and preaching’s... Make them your friend,,, Inspire them with your motivation and you will feel the difference....

Drawing Show Hero

In past it was seemed a bit difficult to arrange tickets watch the Korea performances. Sometimes the cost of the tickets was also reported expensive. Recently, the Korea Tourism Organization(KTO) plans to open a website that will sell "rush tickets" that are sold on the day of performance at discounted prices starting August this year. I personally think that it is great. This I heard from many foreigners friends “I stopped going to performances because Korea is over expensive compared to other countries but now, I'll reconsider”.

Anyhow, the website will offer 50 to 90 percent discount on the rush tickets for major performances. a theater district in Seoul, as well as major art centers, according to Korea Herald. 

Do visit ”www.Visit Korea”, you will love it whether you see a performance or not. Evenings are a good time and so are the weekends.

If you want a true change

Dear All Marwat

Hope You are doing well.

I have few suggestions to be more practical in our lives to get some benefits from our experiences and also to help those, to whom our little efforts can bring big changes.  You can elaborate these suggestions, you can even change and give it a new shape but please let us take some practical steps towards a better/educated/well awake community.

1-      Since most of our College/University Students are free these days (summer vacations). So please put your efforts in educating the youth of our nation. You can start teaching a student at initial stage free of cost and just for the sake of community keeping in mind that Allah will reward you for that.

2-      Those students who are at the verge of leaving University life. We have two options for them keeping in mind that our youth have potential but the only problem they have is taking a good decision at a right time.

a.       Option one is that those students who don’t want to go for further education (MPhil/PhD) can seek guidance from those who are doing their jobs in any company, office, institution or agency. In this way it will be easy for them to not only get a job in a better way but also will get some courage/moral support whenever they required. In this regards, there must be specified people/volunteers who can put their cell numbers/contacts/email address for the fresh scholars to respond.

b.      Option 2 is that, those who want to get higher education after graduation, we must provide them opportunity and guidance on how they can get a scholarship. I think those people who are studying abroad can help in this regards. I know many people who can play a big role in this case and I personally will help all those who will contact me in getting any information /help/guidance in getting PhD scholarships.

(Few days ago there was a discussion to support the top students in terms of their education. I think it is a good suggestion and we must go for it at local level. For foreign scholarship it cost around Rs.9000000/- per head to support at your own for 4 -5 years. So I think the best option is to provide them opportunities on how their can improve their qualifications to get a scholarships.)

3-      Beside this we must have a blood donation society at COUNCIL Level. Main responsibility of this society should be donating blood whenever required and creating awareness about common disease/communicable disease. Also in vacations and weekends these volunteer can help check the blood of people in their villages and streets free of cost. I can ask many Medical/Pharmacy students to help in checking blood.  Regarding the amount that will be spend on any blood camp for checking blood groups. I know for checking blood group of 100 people the maximum cost will be around Rs. 1500/- The students can use a small amount from their pocket money for this purpose. However, I am ready to donate for the first 05 camps like that. Once started it would be a big success.

4-      We can help many needy people in private from our pocket money just for the one who is watching all the times our deeds. May be our little efforts can bring a big change to their lives.

5-      The most important thing is that… We must do all these efforts without involving our political affiliations, without spreading haters and just for the sake of raising the standards our community.

Dear all you know the first step is difficult… Once taken in the right path you will be blessed all the way in your future life. May Allah almighty bless us with the courage to follow the right path.

Stay blessed and be happy, peaceful and spread happiness and liveliness.

One Final request::: PLEASE BE PRACTICAL IN YOUR LIVES.. IF WE CAN GO FOR A SINGLE OPTION IT WOULD BE OUR SUCCESS.

Regards

Fakhar Khan

Ultra Music Festival 2013[Buzz Korea]

The world’s premiere Electronic Music Festival has finally landed in Korea, 14-15 June in Jamsil Sports Complex Seoul, the first destination ever in Asia for the second time! Over a million people were blown away in this sensational music show back in Miami, New York, Sao Paulo over years. That was its second touch—down in Seoul Olympic Complex in the city of Seoul under the title of “UMF (Ultra Music Festival) KOREA”. The slogan of UMF is that. ”Music brings us together”.

Another reason to visit Korea in 2013 just ended with a massive success!  That was the summer biggest party in Korea. Thanks to the Organizers they arranged it a bit earlier because last year it was really hot weather to enjoy UMF. Ultranauts from all around the world have already purchased their tickets for Ultra Korea before its commencements. ULTRA KOREA 2013 was MASSIVE! Believe me; you can’t wait for the other one next year! They left and came back for the finale, and all and all it was an amazing experience. UMF Korea 2013 was nuts and I loved every set I saw.

With the big record for 0.3 million people participating in Ultra Music Festival for the last 14 years, the show’s 2^nd time launched in Asia.  The show has already drawn the attention from music manias in Asia  specially in Korea, Japan, Indonesia and Philippine where people all round rushed to get the early birds tickets to make this weekend special for themselves. It was awesome to explore the “UMF KOREA”. It was my second time to be part of the Korea largest music festival so far.

However, the weather was cool, the music was hot and the people were hot. Everybody was dancing and seemed like there was a wave of dance, which took all the people with them. The festival was divided into 3 main parts, the Live Show, the main stage and the individual performances.  And believe me; every part was so crowded that I feel like I am in ocean of people. Every performance was superb. They just made people “mad” with their instruments. Those moments were lovely and adorable. Thanks to KTO for making the eve special.

KTO being the sister organizer, offered volunteer work at the eve of UMF to special K supporters. The volunteering include the distribution of flyers to promote R16, Rush tickets and Korea in motion festival. We have to do volunteering for 2 hours but it finished earlier as all the booklets finished earlier than we expected. Before volunteer activity KTO offered us a nice dinner. I along with 05 more K Supporters enjoy the tasty dinner with pizza and pasta. The location of dinner was just behind the Jamsil sports complex. Although the party continues till late night however being committed to another place I have to leave early. That was the biggest hip hap of the summer season.

Being a K Performance supporter, I never saw such a big musical event in Korea. People were just crazy to be part of that event. A large participation from foreigners has made this event a great success. Koreans are just mad for such music and such gatherings. Especially the contribution of foreigners was superb. They were a lot in number with attractive dressings and hilarious body movements. Thanks to KTO for realizing me that I am still young.
