Today was a good sunny day. I spent the whole day with my friends in KUFRI, offered three Prayers in my own mohalla Masjid but I am down since Aser prayer as I came to know about one very respectable person that there is no flour at his home for last four days and that no body has had proper meals.
If I tell you the name of the person, I bet you too will cry…
I still remember that hot day of June, 1992 when I was filling in college admission form for First Year. I had secured A+ in matric but I was unable to decide which decipline I should go for first year. I still think that a wrong selection of study decipline was the reason of my educational down fall.
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
I don't remember my very early childhood but I am sure people would have been around who would teach me how to walk, would hold me. But that is for only childhood when everyone extends support. I have even today a lot of people around but no one cares. Oh that! I be child again and be it forever.
The first funeral I attended was that of a 24-year-old friend. We went to a small town; I grabbed a friend’s hand and walked to the front where an open casket sat. I thought how strange he looked. How thin his cancer had made him.
After the prayer, we followed the casket into the graveyard. It was February and the wind and snow were blowing like hardened tears in our faces. Then someone invited everyone for lunch.
How awful! I thought. This is a very serious and solemn time. How could anyone have lunch after this? But I was hungry. I went back to have the lunch.
Everyone was quiet for awhile, and then someone laughed. Soon the room was filled with conversation, hugs, movement again. Life after death, in one startling moment I saw the wisdom of elders and other cultures in making a new start after part of grief.
Yea! We all have to go one day but should live the life to its fullest taking care of each other, we will not be given another turn.
I sit hear and im thinking. I can't belive i am writing this right now. My husband should still be here. He should be here being the wonderful and caring father that he was. It hurts so bad knowing that i will never see him walk through the door and seeing the glow on the kids faces and jump all over him. Oh how they loved that..when daddy came home.It like a piece of me has been torn away from me. I don't feel whole..he is missing from our family now...

RCC has a lot to offer besides a quality education. All RCC students are refined and groomed during their studies. They are prepared for higher studies and practical life. RCC, which is a vital part of Rawalpindi Group of Colleges, is a ladder to success. Emphasis is placed developing the students’ personalities and self-discipline. Punctuality, hard work, dedication, respect for others, and integrity are all traits of RCC students.
In order to guide the students for their future studies, I and my colleagues have decided to start the pre-result coaching classes for those students who are panning for their higher studies. In pre-result classes, the coaching will be provided to needy and deserving students for free. The organized classes of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Sciences will start short after the SSC exams 2011, in the building of Sufa Girls College, Takbeer Chowk, Naushera.
Our team members, Malik Muhammad Adnan (MCS), Malik Muhammad Ijaz (M. Sc. Mathematics) and Muhammad Ali Malik (M. Phil Physics) are fully committed to do the service for the betterment of educational standard in SOON VALLEY.
Literary meaning of the word Zakat is purification and also growth. Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and the most important tool to stimulate the economy. Zakat is the prescribed percentage of the wealth or assets of every adult and mentally stable male or female Muslim which they have to pay annually to the some categories of their society.
It is also called as alms and the Holy Quran describes about the people who has right to get Zakat.
“The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarers; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is knower, Wise." (The Holy Quran: 9:60)
Zakat is one of the vital and most significant features of the Islamic finance and economics System. Unfortunately for all of us ‘Zakat’ which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, has been reduced to just a ritual which we perform once a year and most of us don’t bother to perform it also as a ritual. The concept of Zakat is the foundation stone of the Islamic finance and economic system. The Quran stresses ‘Zakat’ as a significant and serious component of socio-economic justice. The concept of Zakat works to ensure a fair distribution of wealth and resources and establishes a safety net for needy members of society. Both the sources and payout categories of Zakat are specified in Islamic doctrine, as mentioned in the above verses. The Quran identifies eight categories of expenditures of the Zakat collection, each of which carries clear social benefit. One positive economic effect of Zakat is an increase in the money supply and a consequent increase in the demand for goods and services. Zakat also provides debt relief and enhances price stability. If accumulated in times of prosperity, Zakat funds can aid society through times of depression. Though Zakat has widely fallen out of use in modern times it can have great economic impact if properly re established.
The Quran itself stresses on the financial and economic importance of Zakat. The instruction to establish Zakat is mentioned more than 100 times, usually in conjunction with salah (prayer), as two means of purification in the Holy Quran. Allah orders Muslims to pay Zakat on their total wealth and assets in excess of nisab (minimum wealth criteria to pay Zakat), to the poor for benefit of the society’s social and economic welfare. The following Quranic verses, among others, emphasize that all resources belong to God and that these resources are thus a trust that must be used to satisfy the basic needs of all those who, for no fault of their own, cannot afford the basic necessities of life in a humane and dignified manner.
“(So that) wealth does not circulate only among your rich” (Quran 59:7)
“And (would assign) in all their wealth and possessions a due share (zakat) unto such as might ask (for help) and such as might suffer privation” (Al Quran 51:19)
The offerings (zakat) given for the sake of God are (meant) only for fuqara (poor) and the masakeen (needy) and ameleen-a-alaiha (those who are in charge thereof), and muallafatul-quloob (those whose hearts are to be won over), and for fir-riqaab (the freeing of human beings from bondage), and (for) al-gharimun those (who are over-burdened with debts), and fee-sabeelillah (for every struggle) in God’s cause, and ibn as-sabil (for) the wayfarer: (this is) an ordinance from God – and God is all knowing, wise”(Quran 9:60)
The whole western world faced a very harsh economic crisis recently and now Muslim scholars are describing how the Zakat and Islamic financial system can survive the world from another economic recession?

Last resident of great philosopher poet Allama Iqbal looking for visitors. Iranian has more affection and respect for great poet than Pakistani people, a museum attendant of Javaid Manzil, Muhammad Asif said. He added, political leaders or government members never visited Javaid Manzil, expect when they come sometime with foreign delegates.
Javaid Manzil situated near Ghari Shahu, old Mayo Road and now known as Allama Iqbal Road it is in front of Railway Headquarter. Most of people when come for booking seat for train in railway headquarter visit the museum. Allama Iqbal bought it for 25025 Rs. Total cost spent to make it a beautiful home is 42025 Rs. He bought it by the name of his son Javaid Iqbal and his son was paid 50 Rs every month by Allama Iqbal as the rent of four rooms that was used by him. In May, 1935 he was shifted in this house from Macleod Road. The great poet spent last three years of his life in Javaid Manzil.
In 1977, government bought it by Javaid Iqbal and handed over to Ministry of Culture, department of archaeology. His belongings were gifted to archaeology department by Javaid Iqbal and some other people. In 1984, Javaid Manzil was furnished by Japanese experts. In the museum, the belongings of Allama Iqbal was kept, as clothes, gloves, huqa, furniture, shoes, snaps and some hand written scripts of his different books and poems. There are also some books written on Allama Iqbal by different writers.
There in Public note book, a statement I’ve read “people says that today we need another Allama Sahib, my question to them have to you read whole literature written by Allama Sahib? Do you understand what he wanted to convey? Are you living your life according to the philosophy presented by Allama Sahib? If you do this then there is no need of another Allama Sahib and if you don’t please do it”.
A visitor said, government should establish an Allama Iqbal library in Javaid Manzil. There should keep all literature written by Allama Iqbal and the books written on him by different writers. Another visitor Zaheer Abbass said, it is the need of time to aware people with the philosophy life which is presented by great philosopher Allama Iqbal. He added government should make arrangements to translate the literary work of Allama Iqbal in easy Urdu so that every one can understand it easily. Zaheer further said, we taught new generation the activities of Allama Iqbal in their course books but we should teach them the message of great poet Iqbal for Muslim nation. This would be very beneficial for the Pakistani nation, he added.
Javaid Manzil is very important place for our nation. So government should do something for the further development of Javaid Manzil. Government should also make arrangements to spread the message of Iqbal in masses in easy Urdu language.

Salam to All...dear friends I am new member of this foundation. I have seen projects on which different people are working. Actually my idea is not very different. I think that education can bring revolution in our area. And you people know that there are students who can pass matric exam in A+ grade.But they are not having either good financial background or concept of higher education and it's importance in future life.We must help those students by movtivating them, and by telling them the importance of F.sc, and also helping the deserving students...Thx
