There are a lot of supporting and opposing sides of this story that are being posted all over the news & social media platforms for the past 10 days after the COVID outbreak that are related to Delhi Nizamuddin Markaz and Tablighi Jamat in India. Did Nizamuddin Markaz import COVID-19 to India..? Who are all should be held responsible for this entire mess? Can we give a clean chit to Markaz? Who are these Tablighi Jamat folks?  Are they for conversion and preaching extremism?    Let me write my take on this story.  Tablighi Jamat people wait outside Nizamuddin Markaz Tablighi Jamath - Who are they..? Tablighi Jamath (TJ) is a non-political, century-old Islamic religious reformative and missionary movement that was established in India in 1927 and currently has 150 to 200 million followers who are present in 200 countries. The objective of this movement is to make the Muslims, to live the perfect Muslim life that is preached by Islam and liv...

A very detailed report by this press on IIT-Madras student Fathima Lathif 's death after directly interviewing her family reveals a lot of shocking details. Fathima Latheef Just two of such disturbing details are... 1. It seems only Fathima's sister found the suicide note of her sister from Fathima's phone which had been kept in the police station and Police did not find it till she finds it. This raises a question that why did not Police investigate her death properly, check her phone at the time of the incident itself and just only believed some sources from IIT-M and informed the media about the reason for her suicide. This was the news published in almost all news media on the next day of her death. "This was the first time Fatima was staying away from her family in the hostel. She was very homesick. Also, she recently got low internal marks. So, these might have driven Fatima to commit suicide," a police officer said.   2. According to th...

If you are a soft-hearted person then skip this post. If you've come to social media for relaxing from your hectic work, then skip this post.  Or if you are reading this in the morning and don't want to start the day with a lot of sorrows.. then you too skip this post. Below are the heartbreaking stories of the victims of the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka and I couldn't control my emotions when I read. Very first time in my life, I feel why doesn't God just finish off this world and start his judgment day... since we humans as a whole have completely failed to provide safe lives to innocent people and children like this. Whether it is Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka or Christ Church mosque attacks in New Zealand or Amarnath pilgrimage attacks in India and all such kind of attacks.. it is only innocents who are paying the prices for all the inhuman, barbaric, hate-filled religious & race fundamentalistic and state-sponsored terror activit...

G one are those days when the kids were shown the Moon to feed them... Now the days have come when kids are shown  Coke, KFC, and McDonalds, etc logos & ads to feed them...  Hold on.. I'm not talking about showing them on the roads or from your TV ads...  Soon you will see those big companies' logos & ads in the space. 😄😄  I'm not kidding... Pic credit : The Hindu \ Reuters \ StartRocket StartRocket , a Russian startup has come up with an idea of putting ads billboards into space. They are planning to send 200 tiny satellites, called CubeSats and they will be placed in specific distances as a grid, will use mylar sails to catch and reflect sunlight to us. So each satellite will work as a cell, that eventually jointly together will display letters and images.  The display would look roughly the size of half moon, potentially from anywhere. For instance, If they want to display the word "KFC", the height of each word, for i...

India provided some evidence about perpetrators and a mastermind. Pak arrested few including alleged mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. The trial in Pak started in 2009. BJP and Modi criticized former PM Singh for ...

Hasan and I came to know each other through an FB Islamic group around 6 to 7 years back.   He was around 24 years old kid that time. But his maturity, sharp mind, knowledge in Islam, and his way of discussions and arguments in various subjects used to beat his age.  Apart from all those skills, another one skill of him on which I used to get impressed is.. his humorous sense and his jokes timing.  Believe me... I will rate him #1 in that skill among entire 1000+ members of that group.    Only after a year or so... I came to know about a shocking truth about him.  Yes.. Hasan was suffering from Muscular Dystrophy (MD) disease.  Br. Hasan in his recent picture. What is Muscular Dystrophy disease ..? Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that result in increasing weakening and breakdown of skeletal muscles over time. Many people will eventually become unable to walk and should depend on wheelchairs. The...
