Let us all work together so people in need are the real beneficiaries of our relationship. Regards,

Given the recent circumstances and social media, I believe dialogue is good but i also believe we should also understand from where we form our opinions. Remember, there are people out there who are being paid to write certain things; there are people with limited knowledge; there are people with their own agendas; there are people who are on others' agendas; there are people who don't know they're on someone else's agenda but think its their own agenda; there are amiable people and there are stubborn people; but that is the beauty of dialogue that it shows us the difference of perspectives. Let us keep decorum and refrain from spreading hatred; let us use dialogue to learn instead of to impose. The pen is mightier than the sword and let us not forget that our keyboard, given the modern world, is the alternate of the pen. So if you're using this sword, please take the effort to harness this power.

Ramadhan Mubarak!
Narrated by Mu`adh: The Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) took hold of my hand and said, "O Mu`adh! By Allah I love you, so I advise you to never forget to recite after every prayer:
"Allahumma a`inni ala zikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni `ibadatika"
(O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner).

We accuse that the government indulges in luxuries; come to think of it, aren’t they from us and quite similar to us? No? Well, if ‘no’ is the case do remember constructing a boundary wall is less than the price of the latest 15” Macbook Pro, providing a drinking facility to 200 people costs less than the registration you pay in order to get your new Honda Civic registered with government authorities in Islamabad and constructing latrines sufficient for 50 students costs less than a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
