Maybe Israr Ahmad also being somewhat of a ritualist Muslim, from my limited readings of him, may have enabled him to make that prediction. A projection.

But what did he have against women who discard the burqa ? Those who follow this aspect to him should read the below extractions which I am copying from another thread :

There is nothing Islamic about the veil / niqab / burqa. It is a pre-Islamic artifact. Actually a Jewish tradition. An Egyptian woman parliamentarian and academic, Amna Nosseir, has researched on this and has called for a ban on the burqa :




It is to be observed that modern Muslim progressive leaders like Nasser, Gaddafi, Saddam and the Assads disallowed their female family members from wearing the burqa and their countries during their leadership generally discouraged the burqa. It is also to be observed that it was Western-supported Muslim leaders who encouraged burqa. Example, in Afghanistan in the 80s the socialist government enabled women at least in the cities to go without the burqa but the Western governments birthed the Al Qaeda and later the Taliban who brought the burqa back.

Watch this vid about Nasser recalling his meeting with the chief of the Muslim Brotherhood who wanted Nasser to impose the burqa on Egyptian women. Note the reaction of the audience.

This article describes the West-boot-licking anti-women attitude of the Muslim Brotherhood gang :

Covering body properly is necessary. By Burqa, Dr Sahab mean hijab and perda.

I see. As long as he meant something not more than a salwar kameez or even a properly worn jeans and shirt he is right.

No he doesn't mean that. He definitely means more than that.

 

[jamahir]

No he doesn't mean that. He definitely means more than that.

Then I must say he was wrong. If was alive now and a member of PDF I would have asked him to read Nasser's words which I posted earlier and also the findings of Amna Nosseir which too I posted earlier.

As an instance of Nasser's worldwide appeal in earlier times I will mention about a batch mate of mine in a computer institute many years ago. His name was Jamal Abdul Nasser, named after the Egyptian leader. As far as I remember, my batch mate's father used to be a doctor in London and my batch mate was born there and named there. The family of four ( including his older sister ) traveled to India by car.

I had my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Wednesday. Happy to report no side effects except a slightly sore left shoulder which has now improved.

I recall having a more severe reaction from the Typhoid jab. Hence all those members who are offered a jab please take it without worry.

The rest of the world has had it with US presidents, Trump or otherwise

Mohammed Hanif

No matter who’s in the White House, their task is the same: fight the evil that is all of us who aren’t American

Tue 3 Nov 2020

Our American friends are worried about their president. They are telling us – even in what may be his final months in office –
Donald Trump is sick, that he is a fascist, that he is a grotesque parody of a proper US president.
As a long-suffering citizen of a world run by US presidents, may I remind them that he is not very different from the other presidents that I and the rest of the non-American world have suffered for the past half century. Americans say they are better people than Trump. In solidarity, one might be tempted to say that, yes, sure, we are also better people than Trump. But one is compelled to add that although those former presidents might have had better syntax than Trump, worn better-fitted suits, had finer dance moves, weren’t proud “pussy grabbers”, or cunning tax dodgers, being a world-class bully has always been a part of the job

The US has always elected a bully, nurtured him and asked him to go out in the world and do the presidential thing: fight the evil that is the rest of us. At the same time they have expected their president to be nice at home, have mercy on their Thanksgiving turkey and keep talking about the American dream and affordable healthcare.
Abroad, US presidents have wrought havoc, invaded and destroyed places whose names they could never pronounce, hosted murderous dictators from around the world at Camp David and found even more bloodthirsty ones to replace them.
Trump has just brought all that bullying home.

The first US president that I heard of as a child was Nixon, who was kicked out after Watergate. But during his presidency, he watched over the massacre of Bangladeshi people, kept promising to intervene but in the end couldn’t be bothered. Jimmy Carter seemed like a nice man, a reluctant bully, perhaps. One might have first heard that blasted term “human rights” during his time, but in Pakistan, where I live, a military dictator hanged an elected prime minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, during his presidency. In return, Carter offered General Zia ul-Haq millions of dollars in aid to win him over, which the dictator rejected, calling it peanuts – the joke being that Carter was a peanut farmer.

Then came that sage Ronald Reagan, who started dishing out serious money to play out his cowboy fantasies across the globe. “Leader of the free world” he called himself. And to make the world freer, he bankrolled dictators like Augusto Pinochet in Chile and Zia in Pakistan.
When Reagan started funding the mujahideen in Afghanistan, I was 11; now my son has graduated from university, and a third generation of poor US kids is still fighting and negotiating in the same country. And a fourth generation of Afghans is growing up in refugee camps and women are wondering if, when the US finally succeed in their peace talks, they will have a country to live in.

George Bush Sr lit up the Baghdad skyline with his fireworks. He took money from one despot to liberate another and in between tried to fund Iraqi rebels before leaving them at the mercy of a third despot, Saddam Hussein. Didn’t we love Bill Clinton? Wasn’t he the antithesis of Trump, suave, a charmer, the kind of person you could have a beer with? When Clinton faced impeachment for his relations with Monica Lewinsky, he launched some cruise missiles over Afghanistan and Sudan as a distraction.

Americans must have loved George W Bush because they elected him twice. He believed that instigating a war with Afghanistan was something a US president was required to do. But then he realised that his predecessors hadn’t left much to destroy. In search of target-rich areas he lighted on Iraq, manufactured a pretext for war, set up prisons in Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, then declared victory and went home leaving behind millions to die. Even mild-mannered US presidents have been mass murderers on the world stage. Because that’s what the job entails.
Barack Obama was one of the most loved president of recent times, the kind of man who you could actually imagine have a beer with. He left the killings to algorithms and drones, while his foreign policy left Libya annihilated. By the end of his tenure, the US was dropping the equivalent of nearly three bombs an hour every single day. (In 2009, he won the Nobel peace prize for his good intentions.)
Americans are the world’s biggest entertainers, but seem to get bored easily and in their fabled innocence go around the world destroying places in order to save them. At home they keep telling themselves that it’s time to make a choice but, in reality, what choices do they have?

Trump makes the US look bad, makes the US look too white, makes the US speak bad English, makes the US look ill-mannered, greedy, overweight. But as far as many of us around the world are concerned, even if he loses, it’s not a sign that the US is about to change; it really just heralds a bit of a makeover.
The US needs a lean mascot, someone who wears better suits, who is not as overtly racist. US presidents are like the boss who goes to work terrorising his employees but comes home to spread sunshine and love. Deal with Trump by all means, lock the door and throw away the key. Elect the person you believe will save the US soul – but don’t send him out into the world to save us.

Revenge of the Jedi

Forward: Chenyu (January 30)
Pompeo is suffering from China's sanctions!
The sin deserves it, it deserves it!
I saw the Agence France-Presse report last night that after Pompeo stepped down, he was originally going to serve as the CEO of Koch’s headquarters or a subsidiary in the United States. Koch’s chairman did not want to lose the Chinese market and refused to accept Pompeo. Paeo went to DuPont, United Airlines, Mobil Oil and other big companies to apply for jobs, but they were all rejected (which company would be willing to be implicated by Pompeo and be sanctioned by China). Poor Hudson Institute, Pompeo can only get 80,000 U.S. dollars a year in the Institute, and if he is a consultant in a large company, he can get 10 to 30 million U.S. dollars, the disparity between the sky and the ground, the loss is too heavy! It is said that Pompeo's son may also be fired early by his current company. The person in charge of the company said that the company will not risk losing the Chinese market for Pompeo's son alone, which is tantamount to suicide.
Pompeo is not the only one who suffers. Several other senior US officials who have been sanctioned by the Chinese government have also suffered the same sadness.
The most unlucky among them is Kraft, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, the bad woman who once boarded a plane to visit Taiwan and turned back. It is reported that the three transactions between her husband's company and China have already failed. Her husband was furious about this and was about to break up with her for a divorce.
Dear friends, in the past, after high-ranking officials of the US government left their posts, they were vying to hire consultants by international consortia, but this time, Pompeo and other 28 people were sanctioned by China, but no company dared to take over. [Poop] Use one According to the Americans, it is almost impossible to find a large consortium and large company in the United States that has no business relationship with China. This means that if the Chinese government does not lift the sanctions, Pompeo and other 28 high-ranking US officials will never think about it. There is any hope of entering a commercial organization to make a lot of money.
It's not that it is not reported, the time has not arrived. If you come out, you will always have to pay it back. American politicians will continue to commit anti-China evils in the future, and they will have to wonder whether they are ready to pay the heavy price for the rest of their lives after stepping down.
A new beautiful day starts from laughing and watching Pompeo and his like crying miserably!

Bro, I stick with the teachings of the Holy Quran where the first human was recorded to be Adam (as) and um Eve (Hawa) (as) was created from him. Every other human has descended from him, and we're generation after generation on this earth. I found the whole DNA thing evolving, where those archeologists keep digging old fossils in the Horn of Africa, Somalia being the least explored country. I make sure hypothesis of people who study old fossils don't put my eman (belief) in shirk and in jeopardy.

“And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am going to create a human (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him.” (Quran 38:71-72)

“‘Verily, I am going to place mankind generations after generations on earth.’ They said: ‘Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, while we glorify You with praises and thanks and sanctify You.’ God said: ‘I know that which you do not know.’” (Quran 2:30)

"O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord Who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his zaowja (wife/mate), and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women" (S. 4-:1).

After reading these verses of the holy Quran how do you get the idea that Adam (as) was created in single sitting. And how do the apes and monkeys negate these verses of the holy Quran in composition of flesh and bones, are they not made of mud? In fact the first verse contains the word 'fashioned' which itself is give away that Adam (as) was gradually bettered to be a human.

Anyway, in this post we'll try to find the truth about creation of Adam (as) and other humans.

There's an impression and expectation that since God is omnipotent He would do miraculous acts all the way. God works in a system. That system is natural that we see around us. It is evident from the verse of the holy Quran which tells about the creation of universe in specific days instead of blink of an eye;

٥٩ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۚ الرَّحْمَٰنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيرًا​

25:59 He who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days, then settled on the Throne. The Most Merciful. Ask about Him —All-Knowing.

And this verse of the holy Quran
talking about pre-revelation period of human:

الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا​

76:1 Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?

When Adam (as) became physically and mentally evolved enough to receive the Revelation angel was descended upon him. Revelation itself played an important role in gaining wisdom and intellect. Of course there were other hominids parallel to Adam (as) who couldn't reach that level of intellect due to this being one of the major reasons. They were kept as pets by the now on humans.

Here is an excerpt from an old book:

In the explanation of following verse of the holy Quran:

إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُون​

10:62 Behold! verily on the friends
Of God there is no fear, Nor shall they grieve;

Khawaja Allauddin Attar has written that the friends of God will have no fear of return of bestial conventions. (Mashaikh e Naqshbandia)

God does perform miraculous acts but in the hands of human. That is the reason when Um Eve was to be created she didn't have to go through the whole process of evolution. She was created from Adam (as) instantly.

If we go further ahead we would find that igniting the natural system and creating it out of nothing was itself an act of miracle and as per the rule it was necessary to first create a human. This was the time when Muhammad's light was created, peace be upon him. We also get to know that the creation of light of Muhammad peace be upon him from the light of Almighty was a 'routine matter'. It shows the greatness of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

In God's system everything is calculative and definite. For example if we touch the fire we would burn our hands, if there's a mishap we would suffer, we get sick and die. People who have left the bestial conventions behind they change it. So we see Abraham surviving the fire, Jesus healing the sick and making the dead alive, peace be upon them.

The system of God can be understood by sciences. Those who are excelling in science they are actually understanding God, knowingly or unknowingly.
Resurrection is also part of that system and science will soon explain the phenomena of resurrection and the day of judgment.

On the day of judgment the system will take it's course. The holy Quran says:

سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِىۡ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۖۚ وَلَنۡ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللّٰهِ تَبۡدِيۡلًا‏​

(48:23) Such is Allah's Way that has come down from the past. Never shall you find any change in the Way of Allah.

So people will find the day of judgment hard, they'll look for someone who could change this happening. There will be prophets and saints to console but it will require ultimate miraculous act. People will reach to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and he will pray. It will be the beginning of system of Muhammad peace be upon him.

People will enter into the system of Muhammad. That system is all miraculous. There's no pain or suffering, not even tiny bit of labour.

Some people will remain in the system of God but there won't be Abraham to cool the fire and Jesus to cure the sick.
