Dear Brothers and Sisters !

       The reality of present age is not hidden from  salves of Allah who have faith in Him and read His book to seek knowledge and act upon it. Please read the following Hadis:
Allah the Almighty says:

{They said: “0 Dhul-Qarnain! Verily Ya’juj and Ma ‘juj (Gog and Magog) are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?” He said: “That (wealth, authority and power) in which my Lord had established me is better (than your tribute). So help me with strength (of men), I will erect between you and them a barrier. “Give me pieces (blocks) of iron;” then, when he had filled up the gap between the two mountain-cliffs, he said: “Blow;” then when he had made them (red as) fire, he said: “Bring me molten copper to pour over them.” So they (Ya ‘juj and Ma ‘juj (Gog and Magog)] could not scale it or dig through it. (Dhul-Qarnain) said: “This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the Promise of my Lord is ever true”}. (Al-Kahf, 94-98)
And, {Until, when Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog) are let loose (from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound}. (Al-Anbiya’, 96)
No doubt; “Gog and Magog are from among the children of Adam (Peace be upon him). In proof of this, comes the Hadith that is transmitted in the two Sahihs (Bukhari and Muslim) from Al-A’mash, after Abu Salih, after Abu Sa’ id Al-Khudri who narrated the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to have said: “Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection) , ‘O Adam!’ Adam will reply, ‘Labbaik wa Sa’daik, and all the good is in Your Hand.’ Allah will say: ‘Bring out the people of the fire.’ Adam will say: ‘O Allah! How many are the people of the Fire?’ Allah will reply: ‘From every one thousand, take out nine-hundred­and ninety-nine. ‘ At that time children will become hoary headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah.” The Companions of the Prophet
(Peace be upon him) asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! Who is that (excepted) one?” He said, “Rejoice with glad tidings; one person will be from you and one­ thousand will be from Gog and Magog.” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) further said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise.” We shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” He added, “I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise.We shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” He said, “I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise.” We shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” He further said, “You (Muslims) (compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (i.e. your number is very small as compared with theirs).” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
                                                                      Story of Gog and Magog   by Imam Ibn Kathir – from Stories From Quran

This is precisely that age. Because Ayats 95-96  of  Chapter AlAnbia declare:
    ” And there is a ban on (the people of) a town which We destroyed: that they shall not return until Gog and Magog are released and (eventually) they  descend from every height “

Who are Gog and Magog?  My guess is as good as yours. Please consider the following facts:
1. Who made it possible to bring Jews back to Jerusalem after a diaspora of  nearly 2000 years?
2. Who is ruling 3 continents of the world and dominating the rest  as if they are coming out of every high office in the world ?
3. Who has made corruption (Fasad fil Ard ) the Order of the Day ?

Unfortunately some ulemaa made a mistake and mixed up the prophecy of blessed prophet about the nation which would attack Baghdad and destroy it with Gog and Magog. Some attributed them to the third son of Noah (A.S.) But the fact of the matter is the wall surrounding Gog and Magog is a metaphor of ignorance and incapability. Now Gog and Magog have got rid of age of the darkness and have taken the world by storm.  Yes you know, whom I am referring to.
Brothers and Sisters interested in learning more about the reality of present age are adviced to read  Shaikh Imran Hosien’s Best Seller : ” Jerusalem in Quran “,   published by Masjid Dar al-Qur’an, 514  East Third Avenue, Bayshore NY 11706, USA.

Once you realize that we are living in the last age, you are welcome to discuss and delibrate upon best course of action for the Ummah. Questions and quries are welcome. But consider Ayat  105 of  chapter Bani Israel :

            ” After him (Moses A.S) we said : Live in the holy land for now. When the promise of the last day is drawn nigh, we will bring you back  ( into the holy land) in a mixed crowd. “

Anybody who has seen Israelis with blue eyes and white skin, colored  with black eyes,  and black with black eyes coming from almost all nations of the world would come to realize that Allah  SWT has prophesied  about return of Jews as if He is seeing their future return in the holy land. Subhan Allahe Azzo Jal.

                                                                                                    Muhammad  Javed Iqbal

Hazrat Isa Alaihissalam has told the religious leaders, phirasees and rabbbis of his age:
 
                        ” You call yourselves leaders and you cannot see an inch before your noses,
                           for you filter out mosquitos and swallow the camels. “
 
And our beloved prophet Muhammad SAW has forewarned us:
 
                       ” You will repeat the mistakes of your predecessors, so much so that if they
                          entered in a lizard’s hole, so will you.”
 
His companions asked:
 
                       “Are you talking about the Jews and Christians?”
 
 
Allah’s messenger said: 
 
                         ” Who else ?”
 
 
If we open our eyes and see  we will find an exact picture around us of what Nabi Akram had prophesied. Today  Deen itself is of  concern to no one but a few. Bulk of attention is on traditions and rituals. Every sect tries to impose his understanding on others and conveniently ignores that our enemies are after Islam and not any one of its sects. Just as the holy prophet had prophesied, we see a competition among sons of shepards to make the tallest buildings ( Dubai and Sharjah). Once I travelled by train from Karachi to Lahore and saw in almost every city, minarets of  masjids reaching out for sky. It is not to show grandoise of  Islam, but to show prosperity of a particular sect. And just as Nabie Karim had said:
 
            ” A time will come when people will  say salam  only to the aquaitances “
 
This was so manifestly against the teachings of  Islam that Hazrat Salman Farsi RA, asked in bewilderment:
 
            ” Is that so , Oh Prophet of Allah ?”
 
 
Being Muslims we are duty bound to convey peace which Allah has very kindly granted us, but no one teaches the new generation  the manners  of Islam.
When I returned from Saudi Arabia, I started saying salam to every person I saw. Some replied, some just waved and some thought about the favour I was expecting from them, a vote or something. Slowly I gave up. Only in the rural areas of Pakistan, people say salam to known and the unknown. The educated of the cities behave like ignorants in this matter. Everyone shares the blame for this pathetic state of affairs, but our  ulemaa get most of the blame. They have been filtering mosquitos and  swallowing the camels. They talk extensively on unimportant routine matters for hours, but have no time to teach the basics of Islam to the common man. Islam provides a captive audience every Friday and on days of festivity. But these occasions are lost in discussing political or secterian matters.
A young girl, barely 14 years of age, living in Mumbai, asked: “My class fellow is shia and she says Sunnis were not Muslism. Only shias are”, so what should I tell her. Would that they knew that  Islam was completed in the life of Hazrat Muhamamd SAW and anything that happened later is history and not Islam.
 
 
So much for the preparation of ummah for the armageddon and news has it that a new computer game is fast gaining popularity in England. Its object is to persuade the youth  to hate Muslims. Its name is “Muslim Massacre”.It mentally prepares the users to  hate  Muslims and  kill  them at a large scale. This represents the European mindset and American mind can be seen in the Neocon Evangelist quest for Armaggedon.  Faiz had an exact scenario in mind, when he said.
 
 
            ‘Yaan ahle junoon yak ba diger dasto gariban
             Wan jishe sitam, tegh bakaf, darpae jan hai “
 
That is; here the followers of Islam are  cursing one another and there a powerful army, armed to the tooth is marching to crush them.

Holy month of Ramzan is nearly one third past. Whereas we can see marked improvement in  attendance in  masajid and streets going empty at iftar time. We also see and appreciate people offering iftar to passersby at various squares and round abouts. People from rural areas coming to cities and getting enough zakat and charity to keep them going for rest of the year. Considerable number of people attend Taravih prayers and listen to Quran, but it is recited so fast, that even those people who know Arabic a bit, are barely able to  grasp a few words, what to speak of understanding and extracting guidance for day to day life.

 

 

On the Internet we get a flood of mails. But these are the same procedural  guidelines that we have learnt in the childhood, about fasting and prayers. Everyone who can cut and paste is coming up with instructions on fasting, iftar and sehar. But if you look for secondary or tertiary guidance and code of conduct, you hardly find any. In plain words, people fast and pray, but are hardly able to apply the discipline in their day to day lives. 

 

When you go to market, you will find the shopkeepers competing with each other in profiteering. When you see doctors, they are as busy as ever,  hardly sparing any time for you, but quick in charging high fees and prescribing due and undue medicines for you. Recently case of a public hospital was brought to light. The doctor would throw an expensive injection intact after injecting it to his patient. The ward boy would than collect all the syringes to sell it to a fake medicine company, which would use it to make fake injections for selling it to interior of Sindh. This was simply manslaughter. What was the compulsion on well to do doctors of  a government hospital to become a party to this heinous crime? Are we human, not to speak of  being Muslim?

 

Why our ulemaa and thinkers do not think and ponder what ails our society? Our belief is not firm! We hear occasionally about Islamic morality, but we hardly ever practice it. In any Masjid you will find imams lecturing on  minor matters for hours, such as need for covering head while praying,  the necessity of  keeping a beard and most often, keeping length of shalwar or pant above ankles. But no scholar or Aalim will ever deduce laws based on Islamic beliefs. For example, according to a hadis,  a Muslim must be well wisher of comman men. He should like for others what he likes for himself.  If  I want to buy good commodities, in full measure, at reasonable profit, I should also behave in a manner which facilitate only permissible profit taking. There is a limit to profit making. Ten percent profit is a norm and twenty percent is the maximum that is allowed. But most firms and trading houses operate at 70% or above. In normal times it remains unnoticed, but during the period of shortages as are common now a days, overcharging the customers might result in deprivation of low income groups, of  their essential needs. Even government is taking undue advantage of rising oil prices. Instead of fixing duty and sales tax ad voleram, it has based taxes on value, causing people to suffer. In the absence of  government owned transport, people have  been thrown at the mercy of greedy transporters, who increase the fare more than proportionately than the price rise. The running cost of a bus is not wholly based on cost of fuel. But it has driver and conductor salaries, depreciation of the vehicle and repair and maintenance of the buses etc. But every time corrupt transport ministry accepts bribes and allows increase in fares more than proportionately. These are only a   few examples, but corruption is becoming a norm in the society.

 

 

long time ago,  I had read a short story in an Indian magazine. The father of the bridegroom maintains proudly that though his son is a lowly employee in a government department, but he earns considerable extra bucks by other means.  I felt deep  anger and resentment, that being non Muslims they have accepted bribery as a norm. For Muslims, I thought bribery is haram. Our beloved prophet had categorically declared: ” The payer of bribe and the taker will both be in Fire”. So no Muslim in his right mind would ever accept bribe, because it is as bad as meat of swine or  alcohol.  30 years ago, there was a few bad characters who accepted bribes, but most people did not accept it or would hate to be seen accepting it. But now the situation has reversed.  There are very few people who can keep themselves from accepting illegal gratification. It has become norm rather than the exception. 

 

There is a great need to create conditions conducive to  leading a pious and dedicated life in our society. This should have happened yesterday, meaning that we can no more wait to see it in place. Whereas Pakistan is the gift of Almighty Allah and He is sufficient to protect, time may be running out for our generation. In the holy Quran, Allah  SWT  has said that it is not difficult at all for Him to replace one generation of a nation with another people, so let us sit back and think. Can we afford another earthquake ?

Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, widower of Ms Benazir Bhutto has been elected
as president of Pakistan. His track record, his corruption stories
and his infamy in the world political circles, could not prevent
him from securing victory with a convincing margin. Voices were
raised, even from unexpected circles about his choice, but to no
avail. The US and European press came out openly against him,
highlighting his corruption and undeclared properties in Europe,
Dubai and the US. But even that could not stop him from entering the
President House of Paksitan. Indeed USA is backing him up and UK is
the architect of his success.

Election to the highest office apart, Mr. Zardari has not changed a
bit. When he gained entry into political arena, thanks to sudden and
unexpected death of his spouse, he brought all his old friends,
however infamous, back to their old offices. He appointed his
friend Ms Fahmida Mirza to the coveted office of Speaker, National
Assembly. He chose her husband, Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Mirza as the
defacto chief Minister of Sind, his home province. He brought back
Dr. Shoaib Suddle, as IG Sindh, who was involved in the murder case
of Mr. Zardari’s alienated brother in Law, Mir Murtaza Bhutto. He re-
appointed notoriously corrupt officers like Salman Faruqui and
Rahman Malik. He is behaving as if he is the king. And people’s
party , a party credited with many sacrifices for democracy has
fallen on his feets as Indian Dalits bow at the feet of their
Brahiman Lords.

Even after election to the office of the President, his coteries are
throwing away national wealth to appease him. Yesterday, Governer
and the Chief Minister of Sindh donated Rs one MIllion each to
Karachi Race Club, because he is fond of Races. In view of rising
cost of living and diminishing income of the people, the money
should have gone to provide food or medicine to the needy. But old
habits diehard. People also laughed upon learning that sweets will
be distributed in all prisions of Pakistan, where Mr. Zardari was
held in captivity. Mr. Zardari has not forgotten his prison mates.
Horses and stables will soon return to President House.

Ladies and gentleman ! did you ever think why we have fallen to this
shameful status? The world is laughing at us. Indeed Mr. Zardari has
the backing of USA and the Pakistan Army, but that does not mean
that the will of 160 Million Pakistanis has been nullified. It is
our own faults and double standards. I have always felt pride in
being a Pakistani. But today I am ashamed of being one. Our
newspapers and magazines, TV and radio channels are responsible for
this dismal state of affairs. They only report, but never guide.
They know that one leader is popular because his ethnic politics or
sentimental black mail, yet they keep promoting him. They have
allowed people to be ruled in perpetual serfdom. Have our people
been destined to serve one master after another of the same family
or descent? Does this happens anywhere else in the world that after
death of a spouse, another takes control of party office and all the
party stalwarts start supporting him, irrespective of his stature
in the eyes of the public?. Until yesterday, they were haris and
servents of BB, today they are jialas of Zardari. Switching of
loyalties was never so swift. What has happened to criteria of party
service, sacrifices and longevity of affiliation to party cadre.
Everything has given way to family relationship. Do we need such
democracy? How it is different from dictatorship?

People of Pakistan need a true Islamic order, in which people are
elected on the basis of their peity, sincerity and capability.
People do not look at parties but at the persons they bring to fore.
Where character is the sole determinant of a public office. Where
people cannot declare themselves as a candidate, but only party
ranks elect their representatives. When will we raise above sham
democracy and long for true Islamic representation system ?

Muhammad Javed Iqbal

Many non-Muslims who read Holy Quran with some questions in mind invariably are blessed with satisfactory answers. I have read “Why we accepted Islam? “, a two volume book by Dr. Abdul Ghani Farooq which relates stories of hundreds new Muslims and Muslimahs who got the answer from Holy Quran, for whatever questions were in their hearts.

I have myself obsereved many times that Holy Quran responds with appropriate explanations and provides insight on how Allah’s system work. I had observed that whenever I prayed witr prayers in Isha, it became easy for me to rise for fajr with Jamaat . But when I missed it due to laziness or tiredness, I barely rose in time to pray at home. One night I did not pray witr but rose up early enough to pray with Jamaat. While I was going to Masjid I wondered Allah’s sunnats do not change, so how was it possible for me to rise in time although I did not pray witr. When I joined the fajr prayer the imam recited an Ayat which replied my question. ” Allah and his angels send His blessings so as to bring you (oh Muslims !) in light from darkness.”

Recently I was worried about my dear country, my beloved Pakistan. American politicians and army generals were issuing threatening statements against Pakistan and western media was narrating stories of her imminent failure. I was nervous and depressed. Somehow I missed the Friday prayer in a nearby Masjid where I usaully pray Friday prayers. So I went to another Masjid. Lo and behold ! The Imam there recited the Eighth Ayat of Chapter “Ranks”:

” Fain would they put out the light of Allah, with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.”

I felt a contentment deep in side my heart. My Kind Rab had responded to my worry. Indeed He is aware of what is in hearts. Undoubtedly Quran is a living book which answers our questions. Similarly a few days ago I was very disturbed and feeling agonized over Sister Aafia Siddiqui’s plight. When I prayed the Isha prayer I got full reassurance from Quranic Verse from Chapter “Mansions of stars”

” Lo ! those who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be doom of hell and theirs the doom of burning.”

So Alhamdolillah, Allah SWT is with us and He will help us against our enemies when we decide to take on enemies of Allah and enemies of Muslims.

Dear brothers and sisters, Rejoice! Allah is with us, even with so many of our faults and sins. Let us repent and return to Him. He made this beautiful and resourceful country for us and He is ready to help us in defend it from our enemies. When Allah is with us, no power on earth can defeat us. We will never be a failed state, but we can achieve real success when we make Pakistan a citedal of Islam.

Mr. Asif Ali Zardari has said that his promise to restore pre November 3 Judiciary was not Quran or Hadith which cannot be changed. Earlier he refused to honor his promise on holy Quran in the same matter.

The society in which we live attaches great importance to promises. Our traders make deals of millions on verbal agreements. ” Mard ki zaban aik hoti hai” is a popular adage. Our beloved prophet has said:

” There are three signs of a hypocrite: When he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks it and when entrusted with a trust he commits breach of trust”.

Even Hinduism which is more a mythology rather than a religion, has a code of conduct. Learned Hindus say: “Pran jae par bachan na jae”. But Mr. Zardari, aspiring to become president of Pakistan has made a mockery of his promises. He has given several dates for restoration of Judiciary, but has deviated every time, so much so that even people of average intelligence now doubt that he will ever fulfill his promise. Such leaders are a disgrace to their political outfits and a curse for the country.

In fact he has committed so many corrupt practices that he is scared of an honest and strong Judiciary. Recently I saw a list of his properties and bank balances which was bigger than anybody’s wildest imagination. So much wealth cannot be acquired without breaking the law. As Hazrat Ali KAW has said:

” The heaps of wealth do not accumulate except with usurption of rights”

Now that Pervaiz Musharraf has been removed from national political scene, it is about time we get rid of his departing kick, Mr. Zardari, whom he imposed upon the nation by issuing notorious NRO. Muslim League N, intends to field Mr. Javed Hashmi who suffered a prolonged imprisonment at the hands of Pervaiz. Let all non-people party MNAs, MPAs and Senators vote for him so as to show their displeasure to Mr. Zardari’s disregard of higher judiciary. Hopefully many peoples party legislators will also not vote for him, shattering his dream of dominating the country by toeing American line.

Muhammad Javed Iqbal

“

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Only one and a half year ago we determined to remove Pervaiz as he
was playing in the hands of enemies of Islam and Pakistan. Our struggle
has succeeded today as our avowed goal of getting rid of Pervaiz Musharraf has been achieved. Where we are glad and thank our Merciful Lord for showing this happy day to us. we are also alive to the fact that our beloved motherland, Pakistan has not yet
come out of the foreign subjugation of which Pervaiz was a facade.

The Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan declares that
sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to Almighty Allah, SWT.
Though we have succeeded in removing a stooge of foreign power,
Pakistan’s sovereignity will remain compromised, until Islamc rule
is restored in the Pak land. We should not forget that Dr. Aafia is
still held in America and so are thousands of Pakistani civilians who
aresuffering in US prisions of revenge. Our own forces are still killing
our own brothers and sisters in the Federally Administered Areas and
the province of NWF.

Peace, prosperity and honor cannot return unless we
unanimously accept Islamic Consititution for our beloved country. Only
Islam gaurantees peace, protection and prosperity. Our government and
the army should unilaterally declare that they will kill our brothers
no more and let the so called war on terror take its own course. We
have nothing to do with American designs of dominating the world. If
America wants to conquer Muslim lands, let her do it at her own cost
and peril.

I salute those brave soldiers and officers of the security
forces who refused to obey unlawful orders of bombing and firing at
our hapless childern, women and the aged living in the northern
western areas of Pakistan, at the risk of thier ranks and jobs. It was
the immense unpopularity of Perviaz Musharraf in public as well in the
armed forces that forced him to resign. Every despot, whether from
army or civil socieety, will Insha Allah be similarly sent home should he
acts against the interests of Islam and Pakistan.

Muhamamd Javed Iqbal

Man used to live alone in caves. Then he made a family and moved into the huts. Family got extended and he started living in houses. This used to be the unit he loved and defended. Then many families lived together and a village came into being. Villages grew into towns and towns into cities. But towns got attacked and plundered so man enlarged his concept of home to country. It became a place which would be centre of his loyalty, where most people spoke his language, had some common interests and share the same dreams.

Man had developed many weapons in the meanwhile and when interests of one country clashed with that of other, wars started. With passage of time wars become more devastating and men looked for a break so the nations agreed to make an league of nations which later gave way to United Nations. But Wars still take place; weaker nations are still attacked by powerful ones and the rich nations get richer by making rules of business for the poorer ones. I do not want to go back in history and show the destructions wars among nations brought to humanity. Only in the twenty first century, USA attacked Sudan,Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan and conspired against Iran, Pakistan and North Korea. So in spite of all progress and growth in science and technology and ideology, humanity remains divided, disturbed and devastated. Lamenting on the destruction brought by the concept of nation state, Dr Iqbal said:

” The biggest idol today is the concept of nation state, which in fact is the coffin of religion”

God Almighty sent His messengers from the time first man laid his feet on earth. Adam, the first man was also a prophet. And the coming of prophets continued till His last prophet Muhammad SAW broght a lasting message for humanity. According to his teachings , man has only two options in this world. Either to live as an obedient and protected friend of Allah Almighty or a slave of his own wishes and desires living on his own. The former make one nation and the later another. All the people who believe in Allah and choose to follow the code of conduct prescribed by Him are called Muslims (Those who submit to His Sovereignty) and wherever they live, they are ONE nation. Allah is the Protecting Friend of Muslims and has undertaken to support them, as long as they remain loyal to Him. Success belongs to friends of Allah:

” Faint not nor grieve, for ye will overcome them if ye are (indeed) believers.”

(139:Family of Imran:Quran)

So thinking Muslim saints, writers and philosphers have always had a vision of a nation which follows Allah SWT’s instruction both at the individual and national levels The first Muslim state was established by Holy Propeht Muhammad in Medinah and then kingship replaced the caliphate. But visionaries like Jamaluddin Afghani, Allamah Iqbal, Saeed Nursi and Mufti Abdul Qadir Abdhu kept the dream alive till the Muslims of the South East Asian sub-continent were bestowed with an opportunity to establish a country on the basis of Islam. Pakistan’s coming into being was a gift of Almighty Allah who wanted to reward the sacrifices of Syed Ahmed Shaheed and give an opportunity to Muslims of the sub-continent to play a balancing role in the end of time scenario. Pakistan came into being just when the diabolical powers had succeeded in establishing an illegal and illegitimate country Israel by snatching and grabbing Arab land, in the Muslim heartland.Today only Pakistan has the will and means to defeat the dirty designs of Judo-Christian Alliance. We have Alhmdo Lillah beaten and dismembered USSR in Afghanistan and will Insha Allah defeat USA to liberate Afghanistan from American occupation, no matter what sacrifices are needed.

I do not love Pakistan because our national language is Urdu or people of my region dominate her politics. But like most Pakistanis I love Pakistan because it is a gift of my Merciful God and is destined to become a role model for rest of Muslim nations in the world, so that the dream of a unified Ummah given by Islam could be brought to reality.

Allah SWT has said in Chapter Fussilat, Ayat No. 53:

 ” Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this (Quran) is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?  ”  (  سورة فصلت  , Fussilat, Chapter #41, Verse #53)

Many, if not most Ulemaa have now recognized the age in which we are living. This is the last age when the promised Signs have started appearing, leaving no doubt as to imminent arrival of End of Time. There is a chapter on this age in the authentic books of Ahadis and it is known as “age of trials and turbulance “. The Truth that Quran brought  for mankind is now appearing so vividly that educated people have no choice but to accept it.

When you ask a question in ”Answers”  site of Yahoo about Christianity, you almost immediately get a reply. Within no time the priests and the learned Christians give a suitable reply to the asker reaffirming their stated position. Trinity is the real issue between Muslims and Christians. Although they belong to same Abrahimic faith, but Christians’ strange doctrine of Trinity is regarded as a blasphemy and an impossibility by the Muslims.  I posted a question in “Answers ” and waited for six days. Only three  replies were received,  two of which confirm that Science has proved that doctrine of trinity is impossible and wrong.

The fact that world’s largest religion, Roman Catholicism has been defeated  on logical basis and in the numbers game as well, proves that end of time has drawn nigh and  we may live to see the arrival of  Hazrat  Imam Mehdi and   Hazrat Isa A.S.  Noted Quranic Scholar Syed Abul Aalaa Maududi had written in his transliteration of Holy Quran that stage seemed to have been set for arrival of Hazrat Isa. Amin Ahsan Islahi has also confirmed that the last age has begun. A prominent Scholar Shaikh Imran Nazar Hosien has written a book; ” Jesusalem in Quran”  in which he has proved in the light of Chapter “Prophets” that establishment of Israel in the holy land is in accordance with Quranic prophecy and Gog and Magog have taken control of world affairs. The book is worth reading and is available free for reading.

One more sign which I think might be relevent is the occurance of total sun eclipse on Friday. 1985 years ago, Jesus Christ was asked to carry the cross on his slender shoulders for crucification. On that day too, a total sun eclipse occurred.  Allah SWT saved him and lifted him to the fourth sky. Recently people have seen visions which give the glad tidings of arrival of Jesus Christ “Big days are coming.” May Allah keep us to see that auspicious day.

USA has lost war in Iraq and if it could not succeed in dividing the attacked country in three groups of
Shias,Sunnis and Kurds, she even could not bring back a single soldier out of Iraq. Now she wants to
send these defeated troops to Afghanistan, where brave Afghans are attacking world’s sole super power, day in day out. Moral of US forces is so low that there has been a paucity of Psychartists.
This is time to test the nerves of Muslim Mujahedeen who are facing the latest war machinery of America in Afghanistan and their sympathisers. This is time to stand up,because then there will be no
super power to raise against.

WASHINGTON, July 21: The United States plans to send 11,000 additional troops to Afghanistan during the next fiscal year which begins on Oct 1, says the Pentagon.

Currently, there are roughly 35,000 US troops in Afghanistan — 23,550 assigned to International Security Assistance Force and another 18,500 assigned to the Combined Joint Task Force 101, US command in the country.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the US would like to increase the troop level in Afghanistan by two brigade combat teams and about 4,000 trainers in 2009.

Other Pentagon officials said that the decision to increase troops in Afghanistan is also linked to a planned withdrawal of American troops from Iraq where the situation is stabilising.

A leading candidate for the 2008 US presidential election, Barack Obama, said on Monday that he also backs calls for withdrawing American troops from Iraq and deploy them to the war in Afghanistan.
