Why I want to get married (an article on soundvision)

Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
This is a question which everybody should ask with himself and here is the answer i found in this article.
‘Because all of my friends are' is not a legitimate reason. This is a good question to ask even if you are meeting the person to make a final decision because it will be a reminder about the real purpose of marriage from an Islamic perspective. Marriage, from an Islamic perspective, is part of faith and it is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).As well, “my intention should be I am looking for someone with whom I will build a family,” says Imam Muhammad Nur Abdullah of St. Louis, Missouri, a member of the North American Fiqh Council. He has conducted pre-marriage counseling in the U.S. for the last 20 years.“Marriage is a commitment and relationship that starts in this Dunya (world) and will continue Insha Allah in Paradise together,” he adds.
So, what i learned from it is that one should supress his other demands infront of islamic perspectives which definitely give him pleasure and prosperity in world and after death.

Tou kab BadaaA hoO gaA Dost

Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
Hummm..., you people must be thinking what this duffer is talking about. Well, guys it happened like this. I wrote a blog in which i wrote some of my views on pious matter on which Aay Dee commented and I realized that i should not comment with my views. Hence, i said sorry to those people who might have read it.
Laikin khair, Ammar bhai, I think what ever happens you will stay like this. Khair, abb yeh nahien kehdainaan keh "Issi baat peh aik pappi day doo" Ooooh Bhai, Tou bada kab hoo gaa yaaar. Khair, if my comment on NASA has hit some of your feelings then it made me think keh how do u survive in this world. Man, if these things can start a reaction in you then what will be the impact of simple words like "Lay loo", "Day doo", .... etc on you.
Yaaar, you are an engineer well, thats what UIT says ;).
Hmmm..., apart from criticism i liked your bloged. Well, you have this ability to make a Chargah. And i think Pakistani film industry is in need of such thing. Tou, Insha-Allah you guys will see my new blog very sooon.

RIght RIght RIght

Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
Well Well. You are right Aay Dee. But the question is, right about what? Hmmm...., i shouldn't have written the text with my own views, as a reader might not know in what context i am talking about. So, in this regard i have removed my blog and am sorry for the inconvinience. Although, I myself believe that you can not show your anger to person whome you don't have any right on. The only thing one can do is to persuade him to do so. Waisay bhii, only Allah can put things into others mind to follow, we can merely inform them the consequences.
May Allah forgive me if i have said anything wrong.
Khair Khair, i'll be back after a short break.

feeling a loud weary..
but i want to blog now...
even facing so many resistances...like
flu...weariness...laziness(though its always)..and keyboard..yep, keys are too hard to hit..aoOch!..ahem ahem...nops, not in feminine tone...I M ROARING "AooOOOCH!"

well,Intizaar, i don't have any arguments, but, love to share what i have when encounter the same situation u mentioned...i m not picking the words that whoever said whatever...but just by the way.

Listen what i do.I try my best that when ever i heard any comments which makes me to comments as well,specially related to pious matters..i never put my own comments there..*may be someone heard screeching-breakes-sound then* but i stoped; and try to retrieve the exact log which i saved when heard it from any Respected Scholar(Alim)..[no no not Alim-Online]...and put the Schlars qoute with his refrence, thats it!....otherwise i just say 'kay' u have to ask the thing from Scholar..*i m jack, i don't have anything for u...*

Intizaar don't take my words in anyother tone...just a friendly and sharing..*Waring! Jack is here*...but yaar....as u said like...
never be aggressive..
always be polite..
we all responsible for everyones doings...

so may i dare to ask are u sure?????
yes may be u r right! but situations and actions varies! sometime politness works and sometimes one Must to be aggressive..BUT, yep a big BUT!...these are the jumbles (infact ethics) which suppose to be ask from Scholars...and i trust one can learn by just having company with them as well..

humm, i want to add some more words here that, IF WE ARE NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SCHOLAR (infact pure Allah wala), SO TRUST ME WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING VERY VERY SIGNIFICANT, YES TRUST ME WE ARE MISSING THE WAY OF LIFE...not have more words except Aozobillah!...hey do not bother at all...*jack is here*:-)

wasslam

For Prince of no land.

Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
AozoBillah. I was not amazed when NASA claimed that there is life on earth as they have this choodnain ki Adat. You know what amazed me more? Yeah, to realize that there is life on this blog other than me and Aay Dee. Aaaah, good to hear from Mr. Prince of no land. Haan tou Ammar bhai, where did u read Wasif bhai’s blog?. Does he has any blog on blogger? Any ways, nice to hear that you wake up in the morning and took your bed tea. Then you went to meet Mirza Shaib and did….. Bhai, no need to explain. We all understand the difficulties you’ll be facing as a constipation patient.
Good to hear that you are having fun at Sat net. You know what? I was thinking why is Sat net performing so we now-a-days. And here I got the answer. So, keep up the good work.

Insha-Allah, we all be getting nice blogs from Ammar bhai.

Allah-Hafiz.

Aik bhaii kiii dard bharii advice

Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
Khair, after taking the class I am really tired now. But after publishing the previous blog I realized that I have missed something back there. Khair, abb main jou baat kehnain lagaa hoon wooh, Ikhlaqiyaat seh hat kar hay. Tou, behnoon seh darkhawast hay keh mujhay achay namoon seh yaad naan karain.

Haan tou howa kuch iss tarah keh:
I asked one of my office colleague keh, how is life after marriage. He said keh bhai everything is great. But i would like to advice you something. I said, “just bring it".
He said keh yaaar, on the first day of marriage tell her keh agar ghar waloon chootii motii koi baat hooo jaa aiiiy tou you shouldn't bring it to me and tackle your self.
I said keh it is not that big thing, why were you giving it so importance. Tou, he said keh yaar you don't know. This is how the big fights start. The sentences as following :

Aaaj mairay sar main dard thaa amaan neh phir bhii chaa aiiy banwalii.

Aaapkii choti behan farigh baithii thii amii nain phir bhii mujh seh hii ataaaa gundwaya jubkeh

main abhi abhi jhadooo maar kar baithii thiii.

Kiya hum kabhii bhii akailay bahar nahien jaa saktay, aaap kii behnoon kaa janaan zaroorii hota hay kiyaa?

Bijlii kaa bill app hii kiyoon daitay hain?
..............................................................
.........................................................etc.

will feel like nothing in the starting but repeated versions will make you believe keh yeh tou zulm hay.

Well, I laughed and laughed till tears came into my eyes. Then I asked, what is the cure of it? He said keh yaaar, not all women are like this and this act is un-intational. It is in there gene that’s it. Haaan, one cure is to make your wife and mom to give a lot of gifts so that the worth of money goes off from there hearts. Secondly, you should try your best that you both get enough time to go out alone (meant, just u and her). And do praise your wife for her good acts in front of the family and tell her weaknesses in privacy.

I hope keh hum sab iss seh Istifadah karain gaiy.
Till then see you guys.
Allah-Hafiz.

Life Insurance

Bismillah Hirrehman Nirrahim
Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
Now, u people must be thinking y i didn't started off with Aoozoo Billah. Haan haaan, don't be shy you people can ask me like one of my good friend use to say:

Poochoo Pooochoo! poochoo gay nahien tou aaa aiiy gaa kaisay.

Tou bhai looog, oooh! iss seh pehlay keh khawateeen marain Tou behan logoon as well, If i had started off with Aoozoo Billah then every body except me and Aay Dee would have been gone. If you people haven't understood even now then i can't help you cuz, i can't spell it out for you. Khair, the day started off with great view of the sky and cool breeze. Well, i did my usual routine of the day and when i was on my way to office on my bike end enjoying the fresh air. Suddenly aik bhai sahab sadak paar kartay beech main aaa gaaaiiy. Khair, there was nothing wrong with that but you know what is the helarious part. Well, eventhough i know you people won't be able to guess, so, let me continue. He had one fingure put in his ear and continously moving it tro and fro with having his eyes towards the wrong side. Hence, not being aware whether the trafic is comming or not.
I had to scream "Oooo Bhaaiiii" to make him realize what he was doing? Well, as i passed off and looked back to see now what he is doing, to my ammusement he was still moving his fingure in his ear.

Khair, now-a-days it is like keh people want to get hit by a transport vehicle. Lagta hay keh insurence sastaa hoo gayaa hay.

Hmm..., i am dosing off.
so, see u later guys.
Allah-Hafiz.

Dealings in workplace


In dealing with the workplace, besides "lowering the gaze", there tend to be many situations in the workplace where contact between non mahrams leads to fitnah. When talking to a non mahram male/ female, it is important to lower the gaze, to speak in a firm clear tone so as not to appear flirtatious or inviting. Discuss work related matters only and avoid small talk and joking with the opposite sex. Personal comments should be avoided and maintain a clear distance so as to avoid all physical contact, accidental or otherwise. Do your utmost never to be alone with the opposite sex. Avoid conversations which involve lurid talk by one's own sex as this is another way shaitaan hopes to ensnare you. Try your utmost to find employment in an institution where only men/ or only women are employed, (whichever the case may be).

The correct way to send a proposal ( In Sunnah)

When a person intends undertaking an important task, he should do the following:
1. Make Du’aa to Allah Ta’ala for guidance.
2. Perform Salaat of need (Haajat)
3. Offer some charity according to one’s means.
4. Consult with one’s seniors and pious people
5. Consult with the Ulama and enquire if the advise given is according to the Shari’ah if you are doubtful.
6. If you have identified (see) a girl for marriage, then you should discuss that with your seniors 7. Enquire about the girl, her character and conduct, etc. Her Deeni inclination is of utmost importance
8. Also enquire about the family. The temperament and nature of the family (parents in particular) plays a crucial role in one’s marriage life
9. Once you are satisfied and do not have any reservations, then the seniors of the family should identify an appropriate person to send a proposal
10. If you have reservations, then make Istikhaara and follow the rules of Istikhaara
11. Once the proposal is sent, turn your gaze on Allah and make du’aa that Allah must grant an outcome which is best for your acceptance or refusal
12. Whatever is the response, be happy and content with that
13. Do not propose for a girl who is inclined towards another proposal
14. If you receive a positive response, try to perform the Nikah as soon as possible and with the least amount of expenses incurred
15. Lead your marriage life according to the Sunnah

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
Mufti Ebrahim Desai

Piyaar Wiyaar, Batain hain Baikaar

Assalaam-O-Alaikum,
I am Intizaar in uitians blog, I am fine and hope you people are fine as well. Well, let us just cut the crap whome i am trying to fool. There is no need to make some one which he already is. Yeah, i know i was out of the picture for quite a time laikin what can i say yaar. I didn't find the steak but did enjoy the chicken ginger at Kaybees and it took me very long to digest that. Khair, I have been told by the moderator that you people have started to miss me. So, I thought lets bug you people once again. So, people your joy time is gone cuz, '
Intizaar is back '.

Well, I have heard a lot from people saying 'I love ya', 'I won't live without ya' and 'You are my heart, you are my soul bla bla bla bla'. To tell ya the truth, these people really make me laugh. Some people say they are looking for a sincere person

Some say they need a perfect match (meant, their personality should match).
Some say she should be tender and soft hearted. Bla Bla Bla Bla, The list is so long that some times I think people have a lot of time to figure it out. Come on yaaar, let us bee practical. Yeah, there is always an attraction between a girl and a boy. But nature is different among both sexes.

So, let us talk about boys first. Well, some of ya will say keh bhai; you don't know what love is. You will know when you'll fall into it. Aray then I’ll respond keh bhai, just take your time and try to remember that how many times you have fallen into your so called love. On every corner of the road you fall in love. Bhai, to be honest if this is your love then it is real cheap. Bhai, the thing that ya are feeling is the attraction not love. Aray chandaa, the factors due to which you people fall in love are not right. Hairs, cheeks, walking style, talking style, chaand saa chehraa and bla bla bla, all are time dependent. It will decrease with the passage of time. So, you all must be thinking what else factors shall we consider. Well, then few dramatic words like Seerat daikhoo soorat nahien. Yeah, that’s crap as well. Because, one can hide the deepest secret inside him/her for a life time and can pretend to be the person which he/she isn’t. Then what??? What else is there? Well, I am sure most of you have had heard this ‘Allah says that you’ll get the person the way you are’, so, my friends all ya need to do is correct your self. If you are searching for sincerity then ya will have to be sincere as well. The face, the beauty etc are in the eyes of the beholder. Chandaa, don’t be dragged by the media. White color, Patli kamar, Hiran see chall. Yaaar, once you get married you fall in love straight away. Mian biwi are like one man. The feeling to understand somebody to care for somebody is love my friend. And in our society, meant being Muslim a girl and a boy don’t have any right on each other unless you are married tou bhai, in the name of love you are becoming the accessory of a crime. Aray bhai, don’t waste your time on looking for somebody; you know what I have seen? Most of the people get married with the ones that they haven’t ever thought of.

Okz now, the girls perspective which I am about to tell and most of ya people might not agree with is they are mostly looking for protection. Bhai, they are pretty sensitive and what can I say like boys they do also fall into the stuff like looking for a charming, sincere boy as well. But, deep inside once they fall in love they stick to it. Most of the time good girls try their new life if their parents don’t agree to marry to that boy. Well, this thing will make you really laugh that this condition of getting married usually comes 20% out of hundred. Most of the times boys were just playing or just friends or just chilling or just kidding. This is really a fact that even though if they are wearing skin tight jeans and short shirt according to the fashion they always try to adjust the shirt once they are walking. This thing shows that even though they are showing they are out going but actually they are not. So, same goes for you people as well. Have faith in Allah and be nice and sincere your selves, if you all are trying to charm boys to get married or to fall in love with these acts tou believe me. Once you will get to the middle age what surety do you have that he wouldn’t get caught into any other girl’s charms. And by the way the rule of thumb says that there is always a Tit for a Tat. I hope you people got what I meant.

Tou bhai, the summary is that by the time we start thinking about getting married and stuff normally we have already reached 20 years. The average life noa-a-days in this region let us say is 60 tou, you have just 40 years of life for which you want to get married and afterwards you will have to go to a journey towards Heaven or Hell. So, why shouldn’t we just follow The way Allah has told us about love and stuff. Hope it has hit you guys and me as well. Cuz, through out this chat I was ensuring my self as well. :)

Tou Chandaa mairay, Wait for your time to get married and then fall in love it would be better for ya both life partners. Khair, abb I have lectured a lot but what can I say? I felt like sharing my observation. I would really appreciate you people’s comments.

Allah-Hafiz.
