Day of Ashura

Imam (A) flatly refused to pay allegiance to Yazid, well knowing that giving 'Bay'at' to him would leave Islam and the Muslims in ruins. His famous answer to the governor of Yazid was, "A man like me can never give allegiance to a man like him."

The caravan of Imam Husain (A) had arrived in Karbala and their tents were pitched next to the river Euphrates. As his companions settled down, Imam Husain (A) took his brother Abbas (A) around the barren desert and pointed out the various places where each of his comrades would fall and be slain on the Day of Ashura.

The people living in the area were from the tribe of Bani Asad. Imam Husain (A) purchased the land of Karbala from them and then gifted it back to them. He then addressed the men of Bani Asad saying, "On the tenth of this month you will see our dead bodies lying on this plain with our heads severed and taken away. Please bury us, and when our devotees come to visit our graves, treat them with honour and point out to them the places of our burial."

He then turned to the women of the tribe and said, "O virtuous ladies! If your husbands, fearing Yazid, do not bury us, then please encourage them to do so or do it yourselves." Finally, he turned to the children of Bani Asad and said, "O innocent ones! If your parents, out of fear of the ruler, do not bury us then, by way of playing, bring some earth and throw it on our bodies to hide them." This heartrending appeal of Imam Husain (A) made all the listeners weep.

Mullaizm is dying in Pakistan but we are astonishing , to Sohni Dharti that so called Mullaizm is booming in NZ . First it was - to recruit Mulla from Pakistan to teach and preach Islam , tactics has been changed, instead of preaching Islam these Mullas are treading on insecurities of innocent Muslim , reports to Sohni Dharti are suggesting a " A JIN RIPPER" centre has opened in South Auckland , where these Mullas are ripping off peoples in name of Jin,

Few years back a Molana was behind the bars for years for molesting a 7 years old student of him, who did this all on order of Jin , peoples of community are asking have they found that Jin yet ? who ordered Molvi to molest an innocent child,

These mulas boomed on sectarian divide so they are spreading hate among Muslim by playing with emotions of Shia Muslim by doing Nikah in month Moharam to worm their pockets which is sacred month to Shia Muslims

We must fight head on with this kind of Mulaizm, which promote hatred instead of love and peace in community

Pakistani Man Real Story

IT IS NOT A STORY BUT A TRUE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN AMERICA .

An Pakistani man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the
loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to Pakistan on
business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security
for the loan, so the Pakistani man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari
parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and
everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as
collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the
Pakistani for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000
loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Pakistani returns, repays the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very
happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out
very nicely,but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked
you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is,
why would you bother to borrow "$5,000"

The Pakistani replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car
for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return"

Ah, the mind of the Pakistani...
