Dr Frankenstein or Corona?

-

The entire world is fighting against coronavirus while we the people of Pakistan are still trying to overwhelm the bedlam which has been widely observed in the country. The situation looks very grave as the total number of cases has reached up to 43158 with 923 deaths.  So far, the only death cases media news channel reports are related to the novel coronavirus and this has literally pissed the people off. They are being forced to question/ponder as if nothing else is happening in Pakistan; no accidents, no robberies, no murders , or general cardiac-related deaths, suddenly everything just vanished. Meanwhile, the government claims that we are dangerously heading towards an emergency but instead of taking stringent measures it has removed the lockdown which is very disturbing for the people.
On the other side, people are alleging of being cheated regarding their coronavirus tests. Several videos have surfaced on the social media in which people can be seen claiming that private laboratory showed their tests negative but when they approached government hospitals or testing facilities prescribed by the government, they are being pushed towards the corona ward saying that their coronavirus tests are positive. In a post, a family member alleged that a man was pronounced dead owing to coronavirus whose family states that he had no travel history and he was observing quarantine at home for two months. He was admitted to the hospital following a chest infection and he looked quite normal keeping in view his smoking history and change in the weather, the family member alleged. His family alleged that they are being dodged and their patient wasn’t corona positive and later a private lab report showed his results negative. This chain of events surely raised many eyebrows regarding the government’s performance in this crisis and people now seriously doubt the govt’s sincerity regarding this entire fiasco. Moreover, the apex court today asked the government about the million-dollar funds which are being allegedly wasted or remained undisclosed in this entire emergency situation which again substantiates the qualms being circulated among the masses. Right now, nobody knows whether corona is killing the people or the wicked Doctor Frankenstein is doing experiments and we the people are his lab rats. It is pertinent to say that besides corona and other viral diseases we have many other things to fight and pandemonium is one of them.

Mystery of grief-stricken hearts

J K Rowling said, “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.” Five years ago I lost my maternal grandfather who was the real source of joy in my life, a dear friend. We buried him, while I was laying his body in the grave I felt as if I have buried a part of my soul with him. I too used to believe that ‘time heals everything’ but after 5 years the grief remains the same and I feel that only a day has passed. The longing and sense of attachment never faded. So I began to question the possibility of death, we can control the birth then why can’t we control the time of death. We can even choose the time of birth but the possibility of choosing the time and design of death seems impossible.  Why grief prolongs and stays like a scar on a person’s heart? It’s a tragedy that one day we all will experience the loss of a loved one. According to research every year around 50 million people die worldwide and leave behind an average of 5 persons in

  Hussain (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “Death with dignity is better than a life of humiliation.”  Just over 50 years of the death of Muhammad (the last Prophet of Islam), the Muslim rulership was sliding into corruption under the tyrant Yazid, from the Ummayad family. Hussain (Peace Be Upon Him), the son of Ali and the grandson of Muhammad (PBUH), was born in 620 AD in the city of Medina. He came from a family renowned for their strong values of justice, charity, and peace – the family of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Hussain (Peace Be Upon Him) was widely respected across the lands of Arabia and beyond for his generosity, sincerity, and wisdom. Hussain (Peace Be Upon Him) took a stand against Yazid’s evil rule. Whilst Yazid was feared and hated for his ruthlessness, Hussain was loved and respected by society. Yazid realized this and understood that if he could convince Hussain to support him and gets his allegiance, the people would too. A painting sho

Rise of Hussain : Causes behind the great battle (Part 2)

 After the demise of Imam Ali, the son of Ali and grandson of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) Imam Hassan attained the caliphate. At this time the Muslim society had assumed a peculiar form. Their strength had been divided almost evenly, and if Imam Hassan had continued fighting against Mu'awiya (the other contender for the caliphate) neither of the two parties could expect victory without severe bloodshed. The result of such fighting would have been disastrous for the Muslims. Hence, Imam Hassan was faced with a situation in which he had no alternative but to come to terms with Mu'awiya and prevent senseless bloodshed. If he had persisted in fighting it would have resulted in gain to the Eastern Roman Empire on the external front and to the Khawarij within the Islamic territories. If those 400,000 or 500,000 Muslims had attacked one another on that day and fighting with Mu'awiya had been continued only God knows what calamity would have fallen on the Muslims from the side of
