Benefits of Eid al-adha

  falls on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. On this day, Muslims commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. In accordance with Islamic traditions, Muslims offer prayers and perform the ritual sacrifice of animals, typically sheep, goats, or cows. The meat from the sacrificed animals is divided into three parts: one-third is kept for the family, one-third is distributed among relatives and friends, and one-third is donated to the less fortunate.

The rising cost of living also contributes to the increased expenses associated with the festival. In some areas, communities collectively pool funds to purchase ani...

Human Smuggling

By .Rana Jameel Ahmad Yazdani World of Trafficking: The Harsh Realities According to the international laws of travel, the journey of those who carry recreational and natural belongings on their vessel, adorned with extravagant desires worth two and a half million dollars, life jackets, and insurance for life, is met with the aspirations of others. The painful journey of illegal immigrants, filled with young souls, is devoid of life jackets and any semblance of life. In the realm of both insurance and social status, they meet their fate in the dark depths of the sea, as if they have purchased death. The country with the tankers learned a lesson from the tragic incident, while the country with the sinking boat merely showcased its grief. On this planet Earth, humans have divided themselves based on various magnificent creations, laying the foundation of nations or states through social and geographical divisions. In these paths, laws of entry and exit, both internal and external, are es...

Corruption in the System

(Nizamuddin) Even ordinary citizens in Pakistan have to go through a lot of trouble to file a case on any issue, as their complaints are not heard in police stations. This situation arises when one needs to file a case against a powerful criminal or a person hiding in any form. In our country, it is considered impossible for an ordinary citizen to file a case. Even if an ordinary citizen files a regular or serious nature FIR (First Information Report), they have to visit the court multiple times, and until a decision is made, they seek refuge from the courts instead of finding justice. "Because" lawyers fight the case based on the file of the investigating officer, they do not have the authority to investigate on their own. In criminal cases, the failure to seek help, the accused not receiving punishments, or the escape of arrested criminals, all of these are blamed on the police and the investigating officers. It is said that in any case, it is the responsibility of the inve...
