Begging: A Blot

T ake a look through these pics, snapped just last week 16 December 2018 at Town Hall.   It is a blot on the fair name of our country.

Almost at every step, one is greeted by a beggar.  As a concept and in practice, begging is a complex, ambivalent phenomenon which can be witnessed all over the world but in terms of scale remains larger still in developing countries such as Pakistan.

This campaign is about requesting citizens to stop giving out money to street children which they usually do out of sympathy, and instead donate it to those working for children’s education.  There are 25 mi

Every year, December 10 th  is marked as the  Human Rights Da y .

International Women’s Day: The Islamic Perspective

As the world celebrates 8th March as International Women's day, we have to reflect on the position of Islam with regard to this matter. In Islam there is nothing like women's day,all days belongs to women as they belong to men too. Before Allah we are equal regardless of our status or sex,Allah says in the (Quran 49:13)“People, We have created you all male and female and have made you nations and tribes so that you would recognize each other. The most honorable among you in the sight of God is the most pious of you. God is All-knowing and All-aware”. When it comes to practicing Islam there is no difference between men and women.
