Value Of Character In Islam
Human beings occupy a unique place in the universe. By virtue of possessing a human body, men is part of the material world. Thus he is as much subject to natural laws as is any other object in the universe. Birth, growth, decay and death of the human body are natural processes and so are governed by the laws of nature. On the other hand men is also endowed with a innerself or ego which expresses itself as a free will which is inherent in the self. Since the self is a special gift given to mankind by God, it is not part of the material body of man. Although it uses the body as a vehicle for its expression, it is not bound by space and time and therefore not subject to any physical laws. Since the essence of self is freedom of choice, the Divine Will in the sphere of man performs this function as guidance and human beings can accept or reject this guidance. The Quran is very clear on this point: O Messenger Muhammad proclaim to the entire mankind that truth has come from your Rabb, whosoever may accept or reject it - Quran Chapter 18 verse 29
In this universe men is the only creature who is given choice and discretion. Men decide to disobey God Almighty laws when his feelings and emotions overpower him. These emotions instigate him for personal gains as against universal good. He bypasses the laws of Allah Almighty and starts following his own emotions. At this stage his intellect manipulates him the ways and means to achieve these objects. These emotions or feelings and the intellect which guides such feelings to achieve the objectives are given the name of Iblis by the Quran (Because of this rebellious nature - according to Taj and Lane).
Therefore those men who have decided and focused to develope their innerself (Character) in the ligt of Quran, they are the one defined as who so preserves human values against animal instincts is a man of character. Islam's main objective is to develop the character of every human being. The divine pattern to develop a character has mentioned in Quran, which tell us that there are more higher values then biological means. Character (inner self) develops by looking after these higher values.

The Quran reminds us that in reality humankind was one Ummah but this unity was broken by various differences which the human beings created among themselves surah 10 verse 19. It emphasizes the fact that the main purpose of sending God's message through various Messengers is to restore back the balance and unity of humankind which once existed in the earliest period of human history - Quranic reference 2:213 & 57:25. The Quran warns us not to differentiate among Messengers Quranic reference 2:285 & 4:136, because all of them came from the same source, Allah Almighty. But the followers of the Messengers Peace upon all of them not only created differences among the Messengers but they also created divisions among themselves within the following of a single Messenger. As other people, we the followers of Messenger Mohammad peace be upon him have also created divisions among ourselves. We have done this in spite of the very clear order of Allah Almighty to hold on to His rope together in unity and not be divided among ourselves Surah 3 verse 103.
As a matter of fact, we mostly follow the illusions built by our emotions surah 25 verse 43 and the ways of our ancestors surah 2 verse 170 rather than the Quranic reality. This is because whenever we are confronted with the Quranic verses which clearly forbid differences and divisions among Muslims, we find a scapegoat and reply that we are not divided but we only have several schools of thought. In reality though, these are not schools of thought but are schools of action. Only a few examples will suffice to support this argument: differences in what is forbidden and what is allowed by various schools as far as food is concerned; differences in forms of prayer; differences related to marriage and divorce etc. Everyone will agree that these differences whether major or minor are not just in thought but very much in action also. Majority of Muslims though like to believe in ignoring these religious differences and divisions and carry on with their lives. However our religious scholars are more interested in maintaining these differences by creating a sense of virtual unity that hides their sectarian differences. They prefer not to work for real unity because it exposes their differences. In fact, they are more interested in practicing virtual Islam rather than the real Islam our Messenger peace be upon him and Sahaabaa practiced. This makes every one feel satisfied,does'nt whether more or less.

Impact Of Divisions In Today's Muslim World
Contrary to the teachings of the Quran which prohibits any division of Muslims into sects, they have been subject to division and disintegration for the last few centuries, which is a result of this as a natural consequence of predecessor worship. Difference of opinion does occur among human beings and did occur even amongst the companions of the Messenger but they did not allow themselves to be divided into sects. But since the start of ancestral worship, the followers of particular Imams took their respective Imams to be infallible and assumed that the truth lay they said in matters of life. In other words all the others, besides them (the Imams) said was mere falsehood. This divided the Muslims among themselves and every sect became content with what the Imams gave them. From then onwards each sect struggled hard to prove that they themselves were right and others were wrong. They became devoid of tolerance and also of self effort to find out what was right and what was wrong. Thus they were not prepared to hear a word against their own particular belief not because they had good reason to do so but because anything going against the belief of their ancestors was impossible for them to tolerate. The differences between the sects are not necessarily on basic issues; even the differences on petty things have separated them from each other. The curious aspect of this situation lies in the fact that the laws of Fiqa are now the vestigial remnants of the Muslim rules from the past. Not a single Muslim or Islamic State based on Islamic principles which exist today but the differences based on the Fiqa laws continue to exist. A lot of energy is being wasted to keep up differences, in a same way least effort is being made to revive the Islamic state.
Because of this divisions and disintegration among muslims give us a clear picture of the Muslim world today it is hard to find something positive on the horizon. There is political chaos, fanatic society and regional turmoil all over the Muslim world. Muslims seem to have lost control of their affairs, they feel frustrated and helpless. Many Muslim governments are persecuting their people in the name of Islam and muslim priests exploits common people in the name of Islam. So we Muslims hope for a better future under these circumstances?

Fall Of Muslims
Hi Folks
Historians are often astonished to note how the Arabs could reach the height of their glory in such a short span of time, fourteen centuries earlier. But in fact there is nothing to be astonished about. Their glory was the natural consequence of acting in the guidance provided by the Quran. The most astonishing thing on the other hand is that which made the Muslim nation, after it reached the pinnacle of its glory by acting on the Quran and after it witnessed the results of such an action with its own eyes, then why they decline in every sphere of life and ultimately fall into an abyss? How did it happen that the veils of darkness mentioned above could manage to fall in between the light of the Quran and the followers of the Quran?
The story is most painful and hair-raising and is worth listening to with rapt attention. It runs as follows: When the forces which opposed the rising tide of Islam in the 7th century A.D. noticed that the uneducated, unskilled, undisciplined and most backward people of the world living on dates for their subsistence had become the dominant power of the world within a very short period, they not only became jealous of this but also cautious. They simply could not bear the aliens treading on their territories and demolishing the structure of their ancient civilizations. The superior nations of that period were the Romans and the Persians who comprise the intelligentsia of that age. They were defeated and overrun by the Arabs who were far inferior to them in material resources. When Hermazan, the defeated Persian Governor was produced before Hazrat Omar !11 Caliph of Islam), the latter asked him why the Persians were now suffering defeat after defeat at the hands of Arabs while previously they could beat them back easily in any encounter. Hermazan replied that earlier the Persians had fought the Arabs alone but now they had to fight against the Arabs plus their God and it was not possible for them to defeat these two forces combined. How true his answer was when we look at the Quranic verse; “Truly God is with the believers.” - Al Anfall 8:19
The Persians were men of wisdom and insight, they truly realized that Arabs would remain invincible in the battlefield so long as they were close followers of the Quran and that the only way to overpower them was to disassociate them from the guidance of the Quran and thus get them separated from their God. This was an important turning point in the history of Islam, and thus cam in waves of conspiracies which entirely changed the very face of Islam in the years to follow. All the basic concepts of the Quran on which the ‘Deen’ or social order established by Muhammad (peace be upon him) came into existence and were replaced one by one by ideas, beliefs and superstitions which were the outcome of human thinking. Muslims in their era of glory and triumph conquered both Romans and Persians but whereas the Roman empire was partly conquered, the Persian empire was not entirely subjugated but the edifice of its civilization was completely razed to the ground. It was natural thing which that they felt it deeply and maligned the minds of muslims in coming centuries. We all can see that Muslims of today have become an example of weakness and one with no divine objectives.

We Muslims & Islam
Islam is a divine message from Allah Almighty for the entire humankind. The structures (Pillars) that would support the building of Islam would have to be strong, purposeful, powerful and pragmatic. This is because that Islam is not a dogma, but imaging for how long? How long will we continue to follow the paths that have leaded us collectively to absolutely nowhere? Except to immobility, stagnation, divisions, fragmentation, fighting amongst ourselves and to the absolute ruin of generations of the people that Allah Almighty created to lead Mankind to the promised land.
For God sake it is about time that Muslims took stock of their lot and realized that there is no such thing as they. For they never change. It is we who will have to change. In the words of Dr. Allama Iqbal " O! Muslims if you desire to live your life as a Momin (believer), you have no choice except to make the Quran your guiding light". We will have to cleanse our minds of the Religion (Mazhab) of Islam and return to the Deen-ul-Haq. We will have to follow the revelation given unto us by our Rabb, and follow not as friends and protectors other than Him (Quran 7:3). We will therefore, have to disregard all other books written by men and seek guidance only from the Book sent down to us in truth, that we may establish the rule between men, as guided by Allah Almighty (Quran 4:105).
We will have to demand from our respective Muslim Governments that they fulfill the promise that Allah Almighty has made to us. As Allah Almighty has said, they lose the right to our obedience. We will have to demand what is rightfully ours, the benefits of the system of Rabubiyyat (nourishment and development) which are manifest when the Salat and Zakat is established. Dear readers the responsibility is ours. May Allah Almighty grant us the wisdom, courage and the strength to claim that which is ours by right?

Ethnic Cleansing Policies of Wolf in Palestine
A beautiful article written by perter chamberlin; Must read stuff.
Zionist leaders have taught that Israel can only exist, that it can only have peace and security, by beating the Palestinians (and indeed the entire Arab world) into total submission to its demands. Since the earliest days, Zionist leaders have recognized the need to forcefully dictate terms of surrender to the Palestinians, to the Arab world, even to all the Jews of the diaspora, in order to colonize the land formerly known as Israel . The central demand in this involuntary agreement calls for a Jewish majority to be established in Eretz Yisrael by physical intimidation (including the West Bank and Gaza ) and absolute Israeli dominance over all the land of “Greater Israel” (from southern Turkey to the Nile River , all the way to the Euphrates River.
The militant teachings of Vladimir (“Wolf”) Jabotinsky, the father of Jewish self-defense and creator of the Iron Wall doctrine, have formed the basis for much of the Israeli government policies toward the native Palestinian population. The Iron Wall doctrine envisioned by him has been given physical form in the great wall dividing them from the Palestinians. These policies call for the use force, restrictions and imposed suffering, to drive the Palestinians to desperation and eventual resignation to their imposed fate. To quote David Ben-Guriont; We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.To this end, it was advisable to encourage the Palestinian militants into attempting suicidal self-defense, in order to teach them the futility of resistance. The notoriously controversial Koenig Report/Memorandum [6] highlights a series of punitive measures intended to educate the angry Palestinians with these lessons of Zionism. This fits in with the covert Israeli policies that have been enacted since then, which fostered the creation of Hamas, as a means to agitate and radicalize the Arabs and bleed the PLO. These policies of promoting radicalism were cited by former UN Ambassador Alvaro de Soto , when he turned in his resignation in protest of Israel policies. The Zionists have sought to make them into a refugee people in their own country, without rights or hope, even as they were made into a refugee population, after they were expelled from their desert home. The Palestinians cannot be allowed their own & right of return. The Palestinian claim to the same right demanded by the Zionists is considered to be an obstacle to peace. [15] It is considered to be an attempt to demographically overrun Israel, a “back-door attempt to destroy Israel and deny our right to exist... Palestine and the Arab states, not Israel, are the solution to the refugee problem.” For Zionism to work, Palestinians cannot be allowed to have rights.
The Betar Youth movement is a militant ideological movement that both indoctrinates young Zionist men and provides them with military training. [16] Such a facility in the Islamic world would be called a “terrorist training camp.” Similar efforts in Nazi Germany produced thousands of “Hitler youth.” The CIA followed this pattern of indoctrination and paramilitary training in its Islamic training camps in the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Replication of these camps and tactics throughout the Islamic world has produced the generation of Islamic militant terrorists that fight the United States all over the world today. America’s use of militant Zionist tactics has produced the flood of refugees that plague the Middle East and caused our defeat in the war on terrorism. American support of Israel , as it enforces these brutal policies, not only makes us complicit in Israel ’s ethnic cleansing, it reinforces stereotypical idea that the war on terrorism is really a crusade against all Islam. (Written by Peter Chamberlin)
This is what all going on in Swat, Pakistan, first phase of evolving there devilish plan.

Stop The Rot In Pakistan
If the political parties are unable to produce leaders, we cannot wait for them forever to do so. We in Pakistan do not have the luxury of time. The military can and will prevail over the threats facing us for the time being, but who will assume the challenge of making Pakistan an attractive place for its citizens? Pakistan’s existing ‘national leadership has been a failure in the best of times. Our challenges are tall and our leaders are pygmies. To move forward, Pakistan needs a new deal for the 21st century. And this deal cannot come through the ballot for the foreseeable future. Our best chance is for Pakistan’s best and brightest – outside the realm of our failed parties and a failed system – to step forward with a plan to remodel the state.
The worst part of the continuing instability in Pakistan since 2007 is that it is fast pushing this nation’s best and brightest to lose hope. The doomsday reporting on Pakistan in the Am-Brit [American-British] media – which appears more like a war campaign than reporting – is devastating the national psyche. But this would not have been problematic had our national leadership been up to the challenge. This leadership has been a failure in the best of times. Now our challenges are tall and our leaders are pygmies by comparison. I know Pakistani businessmen who made fortunes out of providing uninterrupted high-value services to the banking industry who are forced now to contemplate migration because they are losing hope. Their incomes are intact but it is the quality of their lives in Pakistan’s biggest city that they are concerned about. The military institution is strong and is capable of holding Pakistan’s stability and integrity despite the alarm and the unanswered questions over how our situation deteriorated over the past four years and how our homeland has become exposed to multiple foreign players wreaking havoc here, not to mention why we have allowed ourselves to blindly trust one superpower with our interests. The military can and will prevail over the threats facing us for the time being, but who will assume the challenge of reviving the national spirit, remodeling national politics and initiate the hard task of making Pakistan an attractive place for its citizens?
The political parties are unmitigated failures and cannot run a democracy. None of these parties today has a national agenda. Most of them have shrunk into narrow regional or ethnic interests. None of them has a working party system that produces leaders since most of these parties operate as one-man shows or as family-run businesses in their most primitive forms. If handed over power tomorrow morning, there is hardly any party out there that can come up with better plans or policies than the one currently in office. And while this failure continues, the ethnic-based provincial division of the state is turning every administrative issue into an ethnic flashpoint. Some politicians and political parties are manufacturing ethnic tensions for political gain. Foreign players are exploiting this and courting separatism in Pakistan as a vehicle for pushing their own interests. It is an irony that there isn’t a single political party in Pakistan today that raises the flag of Pakistani nationalism. There was a time when India, our perennial enemy-friend, used to be the only bastion of advocates of separatism in Pakistan. But today we see the center of gravity of this trend moving to Washington, for various reasons. But these are fallouts. The strings are still in our hands and no one can mess with us if we put our house in order. But who will do it in Pakistan?
If the political parties are unable to produce leaders, we cannot wait for them forever to do so. We in Pakistan do not have the luxury of time. The time for this was the 20th century when nations took their time to develop their national systems. We wasted that opportunity. Both an elected civilian leader and a military ruler – Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Ayub Khan – made good starts but messed up in the end. To move forward, Pakistan needs a new deal for the 21st century. And this deal cannot come through the ballot for the foreseeable future. Our best chance is for Pakistan’s best and brightest – outside the realm of our failed parties and a failed system – to step forward with a plan to remodel the state, change the constitution and create an environment for real political parties to grow and prosper. This is the only way left to bring capable and creative civilian administrators to power. Such a civilian administration can and must borrow the support of the military institution for such a grand project of national rebuilding. As we make a final push to expel America’s failed war encroaching into our territory in our northern and western regions, the wider national perspective must not be missed. A vibrant, creative and emerging Pakistan is still possible. But for this to happen, Pakistan’s thinking classes, the media and the public opinion will have to support creative out-of-the-box thinking. The time to stop the rot is here. Let’s not become the worst managers of one of the world’s best pieces of real estate.

US backed rebellion getting crushed in Swat
One day or another we all have to leave this place (willingly or non willingly).What i like to address is to all those (nobles, poors, leaders, followers, men, women, business men, labour class, army men or politicans) Pakistan is our country if you cannot love her then think about those whom you love and who have shed their bloods to get this (1947) and even if your blood is thick white, then only consider yourselves as a tenant paying a rent for a roof. But if you will not do all these then u guys are no much to be called as human being what to say about Muslim. Anyways guys good news...plz read and beg to Allah Almighty for his mercy and forgiveness.
We Are Proud of The Special Forces of Pakistan Army
US & India backed rebellion getting crushed.
Pakistan Army Special Forces made a daring drop of hundreds of commandoes in the heart of terrorist infested forests of Peochar valley of Swat. Now the TTP stronghold is surrounded and ground forces are moving in to link up with the commandoes blocking escape of terrorists. For the last 4 days, the valley is seeing heaviest fighting and SSG is taking great personal risks to block the escape of terrorists and to crush the terrorist den. We are proud of our SSG units fighting on ground. MASHALLAH. May Allah be with them and bless them with a quick victory. Militants are desperate now and are trying to break the siege but are facing heavy casualties, Alhamdolillah. This is going down in history as the single largest landing of Special Forces by the Pakistan Army to crush a foreign-backed rebellion. There are more stunning stories about the operation but we shall write about them later as now exposing them would compromise the security of our troops. Wait for more.

Hi folks
This is the time for the American people to rise up and stop their warmongering government from more bloodshed in other people’s lands. U.S. imperialism is making Pakistan a battleground in its ugly war to achieve unchallenged control of western Asia. More and more, U.S. imperialism is making Pakistan a battleground in its ugly war to achieve unchallenged control of western Asia. And more and more, the Pentagon’s cold, high-tech ratcheting up of death and destruction is driving the Pakistani people into open resistance. Mountain villages that once rarely saw a car are now the targets of pilotless drones—the latest deadly gimmick in a remote-controlled war where the actual pilots sit in Arizona or Nevada. These automatons of the U.S. Air Force, trained on computer games to have absolutely no conscience or sense of humanity, push buttons that tell the Predator and Reaper drones to rain down real bombs and Hellfire missiles on their targets, incinerating whole families. How can they then go home at the end of the day and react with normal human feelings? Ah, but the U.S. military has hired whole schools of people with degrees in psychology to help them shake off any feelings of guilt or shame.
This is the total moral bankruptcy that a permanent warfare state produces. It is the mindset cultivated by a ruling class that values the world’s people only as labor to be exploited in pursuit of profit—all in the name of “progress” and “development.” Those who stand in the way, even if they are only defending the land and homes that sheltered their folk back into the mists of time, are expendable. But to hear the generals and the politicians in Washington tell it, the U.S. is very worried about the “stability” of Pakistan. Joint Chiefs of Staff head Adm. Mike Mullen says he is “gravely concerned” about Taliban advances in Pakistan and Afghanistan. National security adviser Gen. James L. Jones described the situation in Pakistan as “one of the very most serious problems we face.” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton even called Pakistan a “mortal threat” to the U.S. because it possesses nuclear weapons.
These highly publicized statements are meant to soften up the population here for even more U.S. intervention in Pakistan. They also provide Congress with an excuse to pass another whopping “supplemental” bill, now circulating in Congress and reported to have risen to $94 billion. This amount is just to pay for the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. Since 9/11, the total spent on these supplemental appropriations—which are above and beyond the regular Pentagon budget—will add up to almost $1 trillion. In addition, the Pentagon routinely gets more than half a trillion dollars every year, supposedly to keep us all “safer,” even as tens of millions lose their homes and jobs because of the capitalist economic crisis. According to an article in Congress Daily, the current supplemental bill includes “$400 million to train and equip the Pakistan military, a central piece of the new strategy for Pakistan and Afghanistan announced by President Obama last month.”
Pakistan has suffered for decades under a series of military dictatorships supported by Washington and the Pentagon. The result has been great wealth for a few well-connected families and abysmal poverty for the vast majority. A rebellion against the last military dictator, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, ushered in a civilian government but one that is weak, corrupt and afraid to go against U.S. dictates. This has only fueled the Islamic opposition, which is strongest in the border areas with Afghanistan where the Pentagon has been openly violating Pakistan’s sovereignty for some time, bombings its villages with pilotless drones and staging attacks by Special Forces troops. Thousands of people began fleeing the region when the Pakistani army, under strong pressure from Washington, began an offensive just one day before President Asif Ali Zardari was scheduled to meet President Barack Obama in Washington. Some half a million have been made refugees since the fighting began. The U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan created this terrible situation in Pakistan. The people in the U.S. showed in 2006 and 2008 that they don’t want any of these wars. But elections don’t end imperialist wars. Only the independent, militant struggle of the people can bring the troops home and stop the killing.
