خزاں کی رت میں گلاب لہجہ بنا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

ہوا کی زد پہ دیا جلانا جلا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

Khizan ki rut mein gulab lahja bana ke rakhna kamal ye hai

Hawa ki zad pe diya jalana jala ke rakhna kamal ye hai

ذرا سی لغزش پہ توڑ دیتے ہیں سب تعلق زمانے والے

سو ایسے ویسوں سے بھی تعلق بنا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

Zara si laghzish pe tod dete hain sab talluq zamane wale

So aise waison se bhi talluq bana ke rakhna kamal ye hai

کسی کو دینا یہ مشورہ کہ وہ دکھ بچھڑنے کا بھول جائے

اور ایسے لمحے میں اپنے آنسو چھپا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

Kisi ko dena ye mashwara ki wo dukh bichhadne ka bhool jaaye

Aur aise lamhe mein apne aansu chhupa ke rakhna kamal ye hai

خیال اپنا مزاج اپنا پسند اپنی کمال کیا ہے

جو یار چاہے وہ حال اپنا بنا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

Khayal apna mizaj apna pasand apni kamal kya hai

Jo yaar chahe wo haal apna bana ke rakhna kamal ye hai

کسی کی رہ سے خدا کی خاطر اٹھا کے کانٹے ہٹا کے پتھر

پھر اس کے آگے نگاہ اپنی جھکا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

Kisi ki rah se Khuda ki Khatir utha ke kante hata ke patthar

Phir us ke aage nigah apni jhuka ke rakhna kamal ye hai

وہ جس کو دیکھے تو دکھ کا لشکر بھی لڑکھڑائے شکست کھائے

لبوں پہ اپنے وہ مسکراہٹ سجا کے رکھنا کمال یہ ہے

Wo jis ko dekhe to dukh ka lashkar bhi ladkhadaye shikast khaye

Labon pe apne wo muskurahat saja ke rakhna kamal ye hai

🌙 Books for Arab American Heritage Month 🌙

🌙 Good morning, bookish bats, and Eid Mubarak to those who are celebrating. Eid al-Fitr ("the feast of breaking the fast") marks the end of Ramadan, an Islamic holy month of fasting and sacrifice. April is also Arab American Heritage month, which celebrates the 3.7 million Arab Americans across the country. This is an opportunity to combat Anti-Arab bigotry by challenging stereotypes and prejudices.

Eid Mubarak from the Siddiqui family (and Iseul)! 🌙

Grace's parents came from Simland to celebrate Eid with their daughter and her fiancee Iseul, and the four of them took photos together to commemorate the occasion and to send to Amna's family in Pakistan. Grace is in the orange shalwar kameez, Amna is in the purple one, Samuel is in the green kurta pajama, and Iseul is in the navy and black tunic and pants set that her future in-laws gifted her. They all look so nice in their outfits. 💖

Note: I celebrated Eid today with my family IRL. It was nice, we just had food and chilled and I wore my Anarkali-style Eid suit at home to feel fancy. 😄

Here's a link to what an Anarkali-type dress looks like, although I have a more simple one: https://www.andaazfashion.com/navy-blue-net-frock-style-anarkali-suit-lstv07786.html

Dear Brothers and Sisters, As-Salam-o-‘alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Ramadan & Eid-ul-Fitr Mubarak, 1445 A.H. Mubarak and many more to come In shaa Allah, although a little late but it is never too late.

Because of current affairs, there is tremendous amount of demand for Holy Qur’an and Islamic Literature, especially from the U.S. Prison System, Al-Hamdo Lillah.

To meet with the requests, we have decided to provide these books at no cost to all those persons who ask for them and cannot afford to buy them, In shaa Allah,

We have prepared an estimated budget for the year 2024, as follows.

1,000 Copies, Holy Quran, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, English, Paper Back, US $1,000.00

1,000 Copies, Elementary Teachings of Islam, Abdul Alim Siddiqui, Arabic-English, Paper Back, Pocket Edition, US$ 2,000.00

2,000 Copies, A Brief Illustrated Guide for Understanding Islam, I. A. Ibrahim, Arabic-English, Paper Back, US$ 4,000.00 (to be reprinted)

Shipping Charges via USPS Media Mail to 1,000 persons, US $5.00 (Including Packing), US$ 5,000.00

TOTAL: US$ 12,000.00

This is approximately One Thousand Dollars (US$1,000.00) per month, which our community of Professionals can easily afford to donate, Al-Hamdo Lillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen.

Generosity is heavily encouraged during the last ten (10) nights of Ramadan. This is called Sadaqah, or voluntary charity, and can be in many forms, such as feeding someone a meal, donating to charity, performing a good deed, or doing an act of kindness.

وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ نِۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ

wa ta’aawanoo ‘alalbirri wattaqwaa; wattaqullaah; innAllaaha shadeedul ‘iqaab. SURAH AL-MA’IDAH AYAT 2 (5:2 HOLY QURAN)

We invite all of you to contribute to promote the Cause of Allah by propagating His Message through His Last Prophet Muhammad (SallaAllhu ‘alaihi wa Sallam), as advised by him during the Last Khutbah in Makkah, with your Charity, Khairaat, or Sadaqah or Zakat as a DONATION to the Islamic Center, P.O. Box 5192, 2807 Bedford Street, Johnstown, PA, 15904, United States of America.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ

Alladheena yu’minoona bilghaibi wa yuqeemoonas Salaata wa mimmaa razaqnaahum yunfiqoon; SURAH AL-BAQARAH, AYAT 3 (2:3 HOLY QURAN)

Please donate as much as you can as soon as you can. The more you spend the more you get. Please do it before it is too late. Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) said, “If one person is guided through you, it is better than red camels (precious commodity).’

If one Non-Muslim brother or sister accepts Islam after reading these books, you are guaranteed Jannat-ul-Firdous by Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala), In shaa Allah.

Our volunteers are eager, ready and willing to help us in sending these books to all those who need them during the rest of the year of 2024, as soon as possible, In shaa Allah.

کمال یہ ہے

خزاں کی رتھ میں

گلاب لحجہ بنا کے رکھنا

*کمال یہ ہے*

ہوا کی زد پہ

دیا جلانا،جلاکے رکھنا

*کمال یہ ہے*

زرا سی لغزش پہ

توڈ دیتے ہیں،

سبھی تعلق زمانے والے

سو ایسے ویسوں سے بھی تعلق بنا کے رکھنا

*کمال یہ ہے*

کسی کو دینا

یہ مشوررہ کے وہ دکھ بچڑنا کا بھول جاۓ

اور ایسے لمحے میں اپنے آنسو چپاکے رکھنا

*کمال یہ ہے*

خیال اپنا،

مزاج اپنا،پسند اپنی،کمال کیا ہے؟

جو یار چاہے،وہ حال اپنا ،بنا کے رکھنا

*کمال یہ ہے*

کسی کی رہ سے،

خدا کی خاطر،

اٹھا کے کانٹے،

ہٹا کے پتھر

پھر اس کے آگے نگاہ اپنی،

جھکا کے رکھنا

*کمال یہ ہے*

~مبارک صدّقّی

Bepannaah 19th June, 2018

Episode start hi discount!vampire ki shakal se ho rahi hai. Duhaai!

And he’s drinking. Yahaan bhi glass toot rahe hai.

Vaah Mahi khud se apologizing. Zoya is not impressed. I don’t trust Mahi at all, but I do think she’s genuinely sad about her mom.

“Aapne kabhi humein samajhne ki koshish hi nahi ki”

I knew it! Zoya would never throw out Madhu from that house.

Eid Mubarak!

I love Zoya’s Mom.

Ghanti baji!

Lemme guess, Hoodas are here.

I knew Papa Hooda and Papa Siddiqui would hit it instantly. Two shrewd ppl, watching out for their kids.

Secularism vaala bhaashan?

Oh, its a “bahana to make naye dost”

Look at Zoya and Adi giving challenging looks to each other.

No Zoya, I don’t think Abbu is gonna say no.

Called it! I knew Papa Siddiqui will accept the invitation.

Sneaky Adi is sneaky! Kitne mazey se spoon gira diya.

Of course, Zoya knows by looking at his face

“Ho gaya aapka, chale?”

“Nahin”

Tough talk is on. Adi has a point though, re-opening the case won’t help anyone, and land them all in trouble again.

“Mujhe nahi pata ki tum hamaare baare mein kya sochti ho, lekin hamaare beech mein kam se kam dosti toh hain” Awww!

“Hum ab woh pehli vaali Zoya nahi reh jo kisi par bhi aasaani se aitbaar kar le”

The angry stares and clash of the gaze, you guyzzz!

“Yeh beaitbaari humne aap hi se seekhi hain” Adi looks so pissed at this statement of Zoya tho.

Lo yahaan discount!vampire is buying RDX to blow up the house. Good going, ex-cop!

See my boy Arjun is smart, he knows its fishy that his parents decided to invite the Siddiquis.

Papa Siddiqui talks sense. He’s smart and has good logic to attend the party.

Mama Siddiqui is sensible too.

Papa Hooda tells Aditya to control Arjun. “Arjun dil se sochta hain” *my boy*

Awww Siddiqui family scene. Cho Chweet!

Oh go away you discount!vampire!!

Complicated bomb. I’ve already forgotten how it works.

Precap: So tomo is dosti and dhamaaka day?

In UP, families allege forced burials, say police covering up excess - india news

Meerut: A pitched battle between anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act , or CAA, protesters and the police in Meerut was beginning to shift from the main roads to the narrow by-lanes of the Bhumiya Ka Pul neighbourhood at around 4pm on Friday, December 20, when Zaheer Mohammad, a labourer who works at a cattle fodder unit, walked out of his home to purchase beedis from a shop.The police and protesters were positioned at opposite ends of the lane at that moment, and the shopkeeper, Gulshan, a 40-year-old woman, decided to down the shutters when Zaheer asked her to pause and give him a bundle of beedis and a match. “He handed me Rs 10 and then squatted on a platform next to my shop to smoke,” said Gulshan.Moments later, a bullet hit Zaheer, 45, in his head and he collapsed on the floor. “Had Zaheer not been there, the bullet may have hit me,” said Gulshan. She doesn’t know who fired the fatal shot, but she is certain that it came from the police’s direction.“Zaheer was a simpleton. He didn’t even seem curious of bothered about the protests,” said Gulshan.Zaheer was among at least five civilians killed during protests that Friday in Meerut - the district with the highest casualty count. Each of them fell to bullets that the police insist were fired by the protesters themselves.Five days later, on Wednesday, the biggest grouse of the families of each of these men was that the police allegedly forced them to bury the dead urgently, secretly, away from their neighbourhoods, and in the absence of some of their nearest ones.FIRs AGAINST THE DEAD, POLICE ADMIT TO FIRINGIn addition, each of the dead have been named as accused in the FIRs registered after their deaths. “These men were present at the scenes of violence and remain under suspicion. In the FIRs, they have been named as accused and their roles will be probed scientifically,” said AN Singh, superintendent of police (Meerut City).The SP said that there was “heavy firing” by the protesters in Meerut in which nine police and paramilitary personnel were hit and 69 empty cartridges were found during clean up.He also admitted that the police fired at the protesters, making it the third instance after Bijnor and Kanpur where police are now admitting to opening fire. “We fired seven rounds,” said the SP, adding that no deaths occurred at those spots. In the immediate aftermath of the statewide protests, police insisted that they did not fire at protestors. The violence has claimed 18 lives, of which at least 14 are from bullet injuries.The police have registered 14 FIRs and arrested 37 suspects so far for the violence.‘FORCED’ TO BURY QUICKLY, AWAY FROM HOMEZaheer’s father, Munsi Ahmed, said, “Only four members of our family were around when Zaheer’s body was buried around 6.30am on Saturday, within two hours of us receiving his body. When we sought more time, the police told me that I would be held legally responsible for any disturbance. The police only dug the grave and hundreds of them stayed around till we were done with the burial. I couldn’t even bring his body home,” said Ahmed.A few lanes away, 28-year-old Mohsin was shot dead around the same time when he left his home to get fodder for his two buffaloes. “He had returned from namaaz. He gave two toffees to his four-year-old daughter and left home. Minutes later, we heard gunshots and someone came home to inform that my son was killed by a bullet in his chest,” said Mohsin’s mother, Nafeesa.Mohsin’s two younger brothers work as scrap dealers in Karnataka, and they heard of his death on Friday evening. “We had no money for flight tickets, so our friends pooled money for our travel. By the time we reached Meerut on Saturday noon, my brother was already buried. I loved my brother. He was older, but never beat me, never scolded me. I couldn’t see him one last time and I feel guilty about it,” said his brother, Mohammad Rameez, 19.The story of Asif, a 32-year-old orphan who worked as a labourer at a tyre shop is similar. “He was headed to a nearby mosque to offer prayers amidst the violent protests when he was shot in his back. The police compelled us to bury him just after morning namaaz on Saturday,” said his mother-in-law, Shameem.Asif has left behind a pregnant wife and three children.About four kilometers away, in the Ahmed Nagar neighbourhood of Meerut city, two other men were shot dead about a kilometre from their homes. One was Mohammad Asif, a 20-year-old e-rickshaw driver and the other was Aleem Ansari, a 24-year-old man who baked tandoori rotis at a dhaba on the Hapur Road where many violent protests unfolded on Friday.SP Singh couldn’t elaborate the circumstances of the deaths of four men, but said that there are inputs to suggest that Mohammad Asif was present at the spot and was part of a conspiracy. “Whether he was there independently or with others is being probed,” said the officer.Mohammad Asif’s father, Idul Hasan, said he initially learnt of his son’s death from photos of the dead men being circulated on mobile phones and got a confirmation from the GTB Enclave police station, from where he received a phone call. “Until 2015, we lived in Delhi’s Dilshad Garden. When the police took my son’s body, they found an Aadhaar card that had our Delhi address where my in-laws now live. The Delhi Police reached there and then called me,” said Hasan.Mohammad Asif was shot in the chest.Hasan said that the Delhi address was being used as a pretext by the police to call him a “mastermind” of the violence and . “My son only wanted to make money. He wanted to purchase an auto-rickshaw and a plot of land to build a house for us. No one in our family had ever been to a police station earlier, leave alone be involved in a crime,” said Hasan.The autopsies on the bodies of Mohammad Asif and Ansari were conducted late Saturday afternoon. The bodies were then handed over to their families at 4pm and the burial completed by 7pm. “Hardly anyone from our family was around when he was buried. The police snatched from me even the chance to grieve and bury him properly,” said Hasan.AUTOPSY IN FAMILY’S ABSENCEAs for Ansari, his autopsy was conducted in the absence of his family, police said. “His dhaba shut down due to the protests and he left for home. His body was found with a bullet wound to his head on the roadside along the route he took to return home,” said his brother, Mohammad Salauddin.His family, too, got to know of his death by seeing the images of the dead men on a mobile phone. “All night we couldn’t leave our neighbourhood because of the tense situation and the heavy police presence. In the morning, I reached a hospital and checked a body in the mortuary to find it wasn’t my brother’s,” said Salauddin. That body was Mohammad Asif’s.The family finally got Ansari’s body at 5pm. The autopsy had already been conducted. The SP said that since an identity card was found on Ansari’s body, the police didn’t feel the need to wait for his family before carrying out the post-mortem examination.Ansari’s body was handed over to his family on two conditions, said his other brother, Mohammad Mubarak. “We had to give an assurance that we wouldn’t take his body home and also not bury it in our immediate neighbourhood.” The SP said he wasn’t aware of any police pressure on the families of the dead when it came to the burials. “Had we wanted, we could have buried the dead by ourselves. But we handed over the bodies to the families at the mortuary itself. The burials happened as per their choice and wish. Policemen stayed around, but just to maintain peace,” said the officer.BLOODY FRIDAY Describing the sequence of events that took place on Friday, the SP said that it all seemed well until 2.30pm, though the shutting down of shops in the neighbourhoods did arouse suspicion. “After the namaaz at a mosque, some returned to their homes while others began wearing black bands and shouting ‘bhadkau and uttezak’ (provocative) slogans,” he said without mentioning the nature of the slogans.“There were prohibitory orders in place, but thousands of people began marching towards the main Hapur Road. When we tried to stop them, then misbehaved and began pelting stones. They were running in all directions and pelting stones and firing. They were able to get as far as seven kilometers from where the protests began. People were firing even from terraces of their homes. One of them was a 60-year-old man,” said the SP.The story from across the state is the same. Afternoon, post-prayer protest marches that turned violent. “We took anti-riot measures and used tear gas, but the mob set a police post on fire and burnt several vehicles. Sometimes, we were dealing with mobs in two-three directions. They were firing shots and we fired a few rounds in the air,” he said.He said that at least 60 policemen were hurt in the violence. “We know of injuries to four members of the public.” “If the mob was shooting at the police, why weren’t any policemen killed? Why would the protesters shoot their own people?” asked Salim Siddiqui, a local social worker. Read the full article
