 O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere. 
AlQuran, 002.153 
Sabr - Patience
As-Sabr (patience) is mentioned in  the  Qur'an  in  more  than   seventy places. This is because of the tremendous importance that patience has in the deen of Islam. It has been said that every good action  has a limited reward, from ten-fold up to seven-hundred fold, except for patience whose reward has no limit. That is because of Allah's words "Only  the  patient are paid their reward without reckoning."
Quotable Quotes
"The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking 
what one has to do." (James M. Barrie)

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for." --Joseph Addison

"Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think."_Dale Carnegie

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."  -Frederick Keonig


The search for happiness
By M. Afzal Janjua

We all seek happiness but hardly think what it is. It is a state of mind that is achieved through  satisfaction of needs and achievement of objectives. The basic human needs are Physiological, Security,  Social, Esteem and Self -Actualizations, as per  hierarchy of needs given by Maslow the well-known  psychologist. Some other words for this expression are contentment, cheerfulness, gladness, pleasure, glee, joy bliss and delight. All these refer to different degrees and states of mind emanating from different emotional experiences

Self- actualization is seldom achieved and not by all  people. Most of the people are limited to social or at the most esteems needs, let us understand that happiness means different things to different people on different occasions. For some it is wealth, for others it is health and yet there are others who want a combination of these two and much much more. For full article go to:

Excerpts
UNDERAGE CHILD CAMEL JOCKEYS in Middle East

Camel races are held each year at the Janadriyah festival area on the northeast side of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The unfortunate camel jockies are little kids under the ages of three to seven years only, on slave labour, living in private jails under most miserable circumstances. This year's camel race winner was a 6 years old boy. 

Mr Ansar Burney, Advocate, said that less or more 40,000 underage children, mostly from Asian and African countries including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, SriLanka, Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan are being used in Gulf, Middle East and Arab Countries, as "child camel jockeys" against their will and under most miserable circumstances. These children whose ages are from two years to seven years are living in private jails on slave labour

The first rehabilitation centre for underage Child Camel Jockeys under the supervision of the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International in Abu Dhabi (UAE) is in accordance with the UAE government's policy to eliminate the use of underage boys in this sport. Full story at

Will U.S. Foreign Policy Increase Terrorism?
Excerpted from an article by Paul Cochrane
Worldpress.org contributing editor

“As long as American foreign policy remains the same and the Palestinian issue is left unresolved, the U.S. ‘war on terror’ will increase terrorism by 100 percent,” said Lebanese Shiite Muslim leader Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah. 

In an interview, Fadlallah talked about the effects of U.S. counter-terrorism strategy, the assassination attempt on his life in 1985 by the CIA and the recent U.S. sanctions on Syria. 

Talking at his residence in the Beirut suburb of Haret Hreik, the aging Shiite spiritual leader, his eyes bright and alert, said: “the method the American administration has used in the war against terror may have complicated the situation even more.”

COMMENTS by B. Syed:  In 1985 the "first bombing in a Mosque" was carried out by South Lebanese Army operatives (Christian Phallangists, supported by Israel and CIA), to kill Shiite leader Sheikh Mohammad Fadlallah. But instead the bomb killed more than 80 Muslim worshippers in the Mosque, and nothing happened to Fadlallah.  This was a retaliation ordered by Reagan for the revenge of US Marines killed in Beirut Barracks. The trend of bombing Mosques was set from then on, and what's happening in Pakistan and Afghanistan is an extension of that activity.

Remembering Shatila and Sabra Camps. 
 Prof. (Dr.) Anwar Ul Haque

16th September 1982 had been one of the darkest pages of human history. Thousands of innocent and unarmed girls, women and elderly men in two refugee camps of Shatila and Sabira were surrounded by Lebanese Phalangists; an ally of Israel. A cold blood murder was determined for all of them by the same very people who claim to be the victims of Hitler’s concentration camps. Ariel Sharon was then Israel’s defense minister. According to Ariel Sharon's 22 September 1982 declarations in the Knesset (Israeli parliament), the entry of the Phalangists into the refugee camps of Beirut was decided on Wednesday 15 September 1982 at 15.30. Also according to General Sharon, the Israeli commandant had received the following instruction: "The Tsahal forces are forbidden to enter the refugee camps. The "mopping-up" of the camps will be carried out by the Phalanges or the Lebanese army."

From dawn on 15 September 1982, Israeli fighter-bombers were flying low over West Beirut and Israeli troops had secured their entry. From 9am, General Sharon was present to personally direct the Israeli penetration, installing himself in the general army area at the Kuwait embassy junction situated at the edge of Shatila. From the roof of this six-storey building, it was possible to clearly observe the town and the camps of Sabra and Shatila.

"Body Politics or Meat Market." 
Comments on our article last week about beauty pageants

The austrakian author has chosen the right title for Beuty Pageanyts as "Body Politics or Meat Market." These days the women's fashions have gone haywire, with the navels exposed and breasts oozing out of the peek-a-boo bras, inviting problems. If this is the kind of progress the "Enlightened or Illuminated" Muslims want to follow the West, then our society is seeking God's punishment as it happened in the past to Romans and followers of Prophet Loot. Islam is a more 
than religion (like one day Christianity in Church and Judaism in Synagogue) and a Complete Way of Life. All the devine admonition or laws to conduct life are prescribed not only for the individuals, but also for the PEACE in society. Bring in Nudity in the form of Beuty Pageants and Fashion shows, and that's a sure shot 
prescription for our moral decay and ruins of the society.

A couple from Karachi stayed in a posh hotel in Murree and ordered breakfast. 
In order to save money the wife said that she won’t have eggs and asked waiter to bring the cheapest breakfast. The waiter said that charges for breakfast are fixed whether you take eggs or not. The wife said, “Ok then I will have eggs.”

"How do you want your eggs?" the waiter asked.

"Raw and in the shell," the wife replied. She took the two eggs home.
