Death has no age.. no time!I am.. I was..!

Life is soo unpredictable. Every other day we hear of sudden deaths. Majorly due to severe illness,murder or torture to death!

The number is increasing day by day. Indeed death has no age.. no time..!It can come anytime to anyone!

And we are busy in dunya wanting for money, luxuries and fame!Life period is not guaranteed but death is... death doesn't waits for anyone, it shall come and its inevitable!

Fear the state in which death will come to us!Repent, before its too late!

Turn to ALLAH before you return to ALLAH!May ALLAH guide us all towards the straight path. Aameen sum aameen ya RABB.

INSHAA ALLAH!

It is so difficult tofind appropriatewords to payt r i b u t e t oMaulana AbdulS a t t a r E d h i .There are simplyno words which

can justify what Maulana Sahib hasdone for humanity, the richest poorman. Edhi sahib, a legend, aphilinthropist, a humanitarian, fatherto the fatherless, not just humans butalso to the animals, a person whoalways said, “My religion is humanity”.Irrespective of color, creed or castehe and his services would be presentto help humanity be it floods,accidents, earthquakes, landslides.His ambulances would be the first toreach any eventuality. As I said, thereare no words which can justify hisefforts for humanity. May Allah(SWT) grant him the highest placein Jannah.

S o n o f t h el e g e n d a r yFareed Sabri, al e g e n d i nhimself. Muslims,Pakistan, Karachiand in particularKarachi Club will

always miss him. What a tragic loss.He was a regular at Karachi Club andwas a friend to all of us. “Daddu” ashe would be called by every one, apersona which we will never be ableto forget. Apart from being a greatQawal, he was a fine gentleman. Hewas one of those people who wouldcome to the Karachi Club to performand would go on performing untilthe last participant wanted him toperform. A friend of friends loved themembers of Karachi Club. We willalways miss you “Daddu”. May Allah(SWT) grant you highest place inJannah and your family the courageto bear this huge loss. Tajdar-e-Haram, Nigah-e-Karam...

I n t h e l a s tmonth and ahalf the Muslimworld lost threee x t e m e l yi m p o r t a n tpersonali ties.First we lo st

Mohammad Ali, the greatest Boxerthe world had ever seen. Famous notonly for his boxing but also for thestrong faith that he had in Allah. Hedefended Islam in the western worldnot by just winning in the ring butby his deeds. A man who had utmostfaith in his ability as a boxer andarguably the best known athlete inthe world. I am sure most peoplewould remember the famous linesthat would be sung when he wouldenter the ring “ float like a butter fly,sting like a bee” sing Mohammad,M o h a m m a d A l i , t h e b l a c kSuperman…. May Allah (SWT) blesshis soul and give him the highestplace in Jannah.
