DO IT! NOW!

So, if you are on the page, you would know that I was held on gun point by two robbers for one hour and robbed of my stuff. Thanks to ALLAH that my life was spared at the end. Having a platform, I would like to share my experience. 

So I was walking towards my gym from a bakery after buying pastries for my niece's birthday. On the way I passed by when two people on bike confronted me, with one on my front and one who had a gun in his hand covering me from the side. They asked me to silently move into the alley next by showing me and shoving me with the gun again and again. When I obliged they took my mobile, my laptop bag and while taking it one of them punched me in the face. I was still in shock mode since I had been walking in that area since almost half a year now. Then he head butted me too trying to administer all the scare tactics he knew and believe me it was working fine. Then he took my purse, I got some senses back and asked for my NIC card and Driver's license as it was of no use to them and they were gonna throw it anyway, so they were gonna return it but with my bad luck they saw the ATM card and wanted more money out of me if they hadn't drained me enough. So on the force of gun point they made me sit on the bike in between both of them like a fried chicken patty between two buns and they started their journey towards a bank. There were banks nearby but it was a public area so they couldn't risk me shouting and them getting caught or in their words "Them shooting me and escaping" because obviously in all this time they had started caring for me :P

Anyway! We moved towards more uninhabited areas which were quiet far and went on bike for almost 20 minutes during the time they told me that if I didn't do anything silly I will be left alive while if I do then things will happen that happened to other people before me, basically using scare tactic, there they finally found a bank. he took my ATM card, asked my pin and went, luckily he gave the wrong pin 3 times and my ATM card got blocked. After that he tried in 3 different banks but to no luck. During the time one went to get the money out of the bank, the other stayed with me trying to talk to me and have a conversation because of course we had become best buddies after all. He told me where they were going, how forced they are to do such things, plus used further scare tactics. After all was in vain, they sent me into 4-5 banks to get the money out with one person accompanying me at all times but since the ATM card was blocked so no transactions were possible. They got tired maybe after that because obviously it was a very tiring work looting someone of their hard earned stuff and they decided that laptop, mobile and the money in my purse were enough. So they dropped me, took my stuff and gave my purse and keys back and left.

Before I continue further, I would like to Thank ALLAH again and again for saving my life.

It was a very scary experience after it happened and whenever I told people they shared their own stories of themselves or others they knew and I got to know that what has happened to me, happened to thousands and thousands of others and happens to many everyday. The ticker we used to read on our news channels were of different people who maybe tried to protest with the robbery. 

The robbers who robbed me also recited the Kalma (Sentences describing a Muslim's belief) two to three times in order to convince me that no harm shall come of me IF I don't do anything stupid. After all this happened my mind wandered on this incident a lot and thought that Yazid had similar beliefs, he also used to recite the Kalma but then he also drank alcohol, he did drugs, he killed Hazrat Imam Hussain's (A.S) family and made the women and children captives. Are we muslims following Yazid's path now?

The two items that I lost were my mobile and laptop! My laptop which I dearly loved and was my partner in crime. I took him along where I went. My FIFA partner, my everything. I miss you :'(

I have no message for the robbers. Maybe if you read this, I say that may you leave this path and go towards more good things in your life. I wish you a successful life (NOT IN THIS CAREER) but in a honest and good deeds one.

Till Next Time!

Have We Forgotten?

Hello All

9^th & 10^th Muharram just passed and I thought to share some views I had of the situation

Before anyone tries to judge this blog let me tell you. I AM A SHIA! I AM A MUSLIM!

Please continue reading ONLY if you are Muslim or a Terrorist (Part dedicated for you as well)

For Fellow Muslims:

Our Sects differ? Okay!

Our methods of praying differ? Okay!

BUT

Do our Holy Prophet (S.A.W) Differ? NO! We all conclude to the fact that Rasool ALLAH (S.A.W) is the final messenger of ALLAH and there will be no Prophet after him (S.A.W). Our Prophet (S.A.W) was NOT a Shia, was NOT a Sunni. Just a MUSLIM! Agreed?

Then Holy Prophet (S.A.W) told us to keep hold of two things after his death!

• THE QURAN
• His Family (Ahl-e-Bait)

This hadith has been copied in Shia as well as Sunni books (I can provide references). 

SO! I have a question. When Muharram comes then why do people dedicate this to Shias? Was Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) some specific sect’s Prophet's grandchild? Did some sect’s prophet said about Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) that “Hussain is to me, like I am to Hussain” NO!! It was OUR Holy Prophet (S.A.W)

• Then do my readers know completely the details that happened in the incident of Karbala?
• We know who Selena Gomez is but we don’t know who Bibi Sakeena is
• We know that Saif Ali Khan & Kareena Kapoor got married but do we know what were the names of the wives of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S)?
• We know that Steve Jobs died and who was he but do we know the names of the 72 martyrs of Karbala and how they attained martyrdom?
• We know what happened in “Hamsafar” but do we all know what happened in “Sham-e-Ghareeban”?

Has our world led us apart from what our Prophet (S.A.W) said?

Sunnis have a belief that maatam (beating one self) and crying is wrong for this incident! Okay fine! I will say we are wrong BUT!

You say Maatam is wrong? Then don't do maatam! Read THE Quran on 9^th & 10^th Muharram

You say crying for a martyr is wrong? Then go and give food to the hungry and give water to the thirsty

What are you trying to prove by listening to songs and watching movies in these days?

Are you supporting Hazrat Imam Hussain or Yazid in this? 

When our Prophet (S.A.W) said “There will be after me twelve Amir (Prince/Ruler), all of them from Quraysh." Tirmidhi 

Do you know the names of those twelve? Do you know what happened to those twelve? Do you know the 12th is Hazrat Imam Mehdi who will come and fight against Dajaal?

Please think about it!

I know many will question me, many will fight me, many will stop reading my blogs after this but it is a risk am willing to take.

For Terrorists:

In this part I call on ALL of you! TALIBAN! AMERICA! ISRAEL! & all other small or big terrorist organizations in or outside Pakistan. If you were not sleeping then you can see that your plan failed. 4 bomb blasts in two days before 8^th Muharram in Pakistan, killings in Palestine, killings in Syria, killings in Bahrain and then you saw how that multiplied the people that came out to pay their tribute to Hazrat Imam Hussain on Aashura. I am an eye witness and I can surely say that in Pakistan at least this time there were double the number of people as compared to last time. 

TERRORISTS!!! Our Imam has taught us through this war that never to bow your head in front of oppressors. WE WILL NEVER STOP! THIS WILL ONLY INCREASE! We will always come out for the truth and all your bullets, bombs and weapons will count for NOTHING! STOP your worthless tries! PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!!! 

O PRESENT YAZIDS enjoy your time in power on the side of the dajaal. INSHA ALLAH Our leaders Hazrat Imam Mehdi (A.S) and Hazrat Eesa (A.S) will come soon and free all the oppressed Muslim states. That day your leader Dajaal will fall and our leaders will take control!

AMEEN!!!

Till Next Time
