| Azam Tariq was great Writing in Jang, Maulana Muhammad Ahmad Ludhianvi stated that Maulana Azam Tariq of Sipah Sahaba was born in Chichawatni in 1961 to Haji Fateh Muhammad. He was a worker of the great leader Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi who changed the discourse of the clergy with his genius. After Jhangvi, two leaders of Sipah Sahaba, Isarul Qasimi and Ziaur Rehman Farooqi, were killed. Farooqi was killed in 1997 when he was accompanied by Azam Tariq. After that Azam Tariq was called from Karachi to lead Sipah Sahaba. He was elected to parliament and used to instil the fear of God among politicians when he entered the house. It was his vote which gave majority to the government of prime minister Jamali. Azam Tariq was the second mujaddid after Jhangvi. He was killed in 2003 and his killers were not found. Malik Aftab Ahmad Muawiya wrote in daily Pakistan that Azam Tariq graduated in 1984 from Jamia Ulum Islamiya Banuri Town Karachi. His son was named after Caliph Amir Muawiya. After his death, Jhang went into mourning. In all 22 attempts were made on his life. Stay away from pretty girls, please! Daily Nawa-e-Waqt reported that when a delegation of Pakistani journalists was about to go to Occupied Kashmir for the first time in history they were taken to the Foreign Office and briefed. One item of this briefing was that if the Indians offer them the hospitality of pretty girls they should spurn it. Have Al Qaeda will travel According to Nawa-e-Waqt, a citizen of Multan told the police that a young man who used to come to his house to offer tuition to his children told them that he belonged to Al Qaeda. He thereafter seduced his wife. When he threw him out of the house he rang him up and told him that since he was a member of Al Qaeda the organisation will act against him if he pursued the seduction case with the police. Indians are ugly! Well known columnist Abdul Qadir Hassan wrote in Jang that Muslims were the downtrodden of India and were cursing Pakistan for its blunders for which they were having to pay. The world knows poverty line but in India it should be called jughi line where the Muslims lived. India had become rich through propaganda and through statistics but its products were third rate. On the other hand Pakistan was doing better although its statistics were worse. In India the state was rich but the people poor; in Pakistan the state was poor but the people rich. Also Indians were emaciated (sookhay chehray) and ugly while Pakistanis were healthy and good-looking. Governments in Pakistan did nothing for the people but the people flourished because of God's blessing. In the five-star hotel in New Delhi there was not a single good-looking girl employee. America thinks with Indian mind Scholar and head of Muqtadara Urdu wrote in Nawa-e-Waqt that America was now thinking with an Indian mind. It was now bent upon forgiving India for its violation of human rights in Kashmir, its flouting of the UN Charter and letting it take advantage of the situation the same way it had in the case of Israel. America was scared of the awakening of the Muslim world and was therefore advancing the imperialism of Israel and India. PTV cures through Quranic verse Daily Khabrain reported that a PTV programme showing Sura Rehman from the Holy Quran was curing patients of dangerous diseases like hepatitis and sugar. Producer Shakir Aziz said that he had started the programme on the advice of an elderly person. A doctor stated that after he listened to the verse he lost all feelings of fatigue. After that he noted that patients too were getting better after listening to the holy recitation. Seven hours of listening to the verse every day was sure to cure all diseases while medical science had become helpless. |
