majumdar/ijaz_gul/zee ,
zee bhai were you not told that when you were out of home for school: if you had died you would had been martyred as you were out for a noble cause (education).

Epitaph( in lawn of faisal mosque isb): Gen. M. Zia-ul-Haq Shaheed.

and most of the religious party leaders recall him so.
Was he fighting with US Amb. in plane?

Ma'm:

This morning marked the first day of classes for the current batch of officers chosen from around the country to take the Unit Command Course. Five of them never signed-in today.

Fortunately, another seven or so officers had taken the day off or they too would have been on board that same bus.


Could it be target killing? i.e. how come one knew prior info about schedule or timing or route of the bus?

Barring that suicide bomber only want to every green/military colored bus, isnt it possible that officers missing on the first day should be inquired into it???

“If Hussain fought to quench his worldly desires, then I do not understand why his sisters, wives and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore that he sacrificed purely for Islam.” —Charles Dickens

Re: # 12 how un-islamic ???
Karbala was not about politics, had it been all politics then Hussain had not left Madina, his strong hold. So no political comparisons. It was all about Hussain and Hussain was Islam because no muslim could afford disrespecting Hussain and His Family by politicizing or conspiring His Martydom. He was blessed in Messenger's life with all rewards from Allah with Allah's orders.

Yes it was the two families of the Quresh tribe but only one of them was feuding for power ho had been in power and lost it due to converting to muslims and eventually they had this power in after years of Karbala as well. Imams never had power: 1st Imam was Caliph but power was not His desire, similarly no Imam afterwards had power though they were offered which proves that Hussain and His family was not desiring power and it was not a political conflict.

No Question about Their vision, They were already told about
Karbala in Their lives.

it depends on your POV.
yours?
in islam, maatam karna --mourning -- is not allowed.
so this is your PoV. right? no you are trying to say that this is your islam!

If you look at Imam Hussain's martyrdom as the ultimate sacrfice to save Islam then it is an occassion to celebrate. So we say, "Wah Hussain!" not "Aah Hussain!" as the others do.

Say that considering that His last son (Imam) & BB Zainab (SA) is listening to you. Will you?

Also, ashura was a holy day in islam even before the martyrdom of imam hussain and the prophet and companions would fast on this day

ignocent.... prove that!
no way it was a fasting day. just fabricated.
By the what does holy mean in your Islam i.e. PoV?

Shore sahib you are good person so you must not lie here, GC required higher gradings than the merit of FC. Architecture, atmosphere and no-jammiyat shold not go unnoticed by the person like you then how come you rejected GC? of course it was not matter of distance as even many subcontinent students attended college.

TS,

Shore sahib lack one talent, s/he cant tell a lie!
not to mention s/he was not good in academics!

This really half-cooked stuff in many aspects. There was need to focus more on harmful affects preferably if any research data is available. This is very neglected subject and no one wanna read about it seriously especially news like mobile bursting out killing or damaging people ending as rumors in Pakistan.
