Cease corruption by Good Education...
Irfan Ali Najar
( Kashmir )
Things fall apart when virtues are at discount and vices are at premium, Honesty is downgraded and dishonesty is praised, transparency is withered and corruption is promoted. Then whole system and standards get perverted and replaced by unruly designs of evil and corrupt values. The most problematic and pesky matter which has almost embraced all the spheres in its domain is the “rampant corruption”. It is perpetually forsaken and forgotten by spirit and not by letter. This hovers over the horizons...
Islam and human rights...
Advocate Syed Mujtaba
( Kashmir )
The general view of majority of western jurists on Human Rights is that Human Rights is the idea of our times. But this idea is generally wrong. It is an idea which took a positive shape fourteen hundred years earlier by Islamic law. Islam being the religion of nature embodies the entire all the basic ideas of Human Rights. Human Rights in Islam is a divine concept unlike the western and contemporary concept of Human Rights, Human Rights in Islam was not the result of any development in human thought....
Fadak Sermon of Hazrat Zehra (S.A)...
Translated by Mohammad Afzal Bhat
( Jammu and Kashmir )
Allah, the exalted, the all praise worthy who endowed us with numerous endowments-that too without asking for. His blessings upon us can neither be counted nor can be paid back in any form, and are far beyond our comprehension. He ordered us to thank Him for His blessings so as the bounties can aggrandize and then after the completion of the bounties he again ordered for our thankfulness. Evidence of the unity and qualities of Allah: Fatima: I bear witness that Allah, Solely, deserves to be worshipped....

( Kashmir )
Nigeria is turning into a failed state and instead of cracking on the brutal extremists it is going brutally after peace loving and patriotic Shia muslims.
On the otherhand Boko Haram has unleashed several inhuman acts but Nigerian state has failed to give answers. The kidnapping of scores of girls on the night of April 14-15, 2014, in the town of Chibok, in northeastern Nigeria, about a two-hour drive from the border with Cameroon was a catastrophe.

Women denigration...
Samiya Nazir

Very well encapsulated by Simone de Beauvoir in her magnum opus the second sex that “woman is not born as a woman she is made women”. This line is a sheer critique to male chauvinism and misogyny. It has lucidly shrugged off the nature of patriarchal society where women in general is constructed as “other” and “inferior” and in particular, they are restricted to what Tasleema Nasreen, a Bangladeshi novelist, calls “claustrophobic confines”. The creative powers of...

Mohammad Javad Zareef
( Iran )
THE world will soon celebrate the implementation of the landmark agreement that resolves the unnecessary, albeit dangerous, crisis overIran’s nuclear program. All parties hoped, and continue to believe, that the resolution of the nuclear issue would enable us to focus on the serious challenge of extremism that is ravaging our region — and the world. President Rouhani has repeatedly declared that Iran’s top foreign policy priority is friendship with our neighbors, peace and stability...
Tipu Sultan: a secular internationalist, not a bigot...
Prof. Dr. Muzaffar Assadi
( New Delhi )
The recent offer made by a film producer to Tamil superstar Rajinikanth to act in a movie on the ‘Tiger of Mysore’, Tipu Sultan, has yet again opened up a Pandora’s Box. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and some Hindutva groups have demanded that Rajinikanth refuse the offer. This argument is made on the grounds that Tipu, the 18th century ruler of Mysore state, was a “tyrant” who killed thousands of Hindus as they refused to convert to Islam. This is not the first time that Tipu’s name...
