Open Forum of District Nazim
Having read to the news that district Nazim Haji Mughfirat Shah
held an open forum ( Khulli Katchery) at Damel Nisar Area on 04
February 2007. It is an encouraging and people friendly action
taken by the young District Nazim. The rulers used to be the
servant of the people during the golden period of Islam. The rulers
used to carry flour and other items to them on their backs. They
used to survey and visit street to street for checking the poor
people. So the Nazims should not remain stick to their chairs like
bureaucrats and their predecessors. The leaders should come out and
check the govt. machinery, how it is working?. In this knowledge
driven world the standard of our education is still going down
ward, if their would be a contest of corruption defiantly our
education department will stand in the top. So please try to check
the schools and attendance of Govt. school teachers all this would
be possible only by surprise visit of different schools within
Chitral. The announcement of Rs, 2300000 for the widening and
improvement of Dameel Nisar road is a positive step for the up left
of that backward and neglected area of Chitral. After the
improvement of road every other development would be possible. Such
kind of checking of grain godowns should also arrange other parts
of Chitral to ensure the supply of hygienic and standardized grain
to the common man. Hundreds of doctors have been appointed recently
on contract basis for such kind of far-flung areas, but majority of
them left their job and some of them don�t even visit their
hospital, so to ensure their attendance. Nazim should have to make
a task force of some Nazims to check their duties in such far-flung
areas. In another aspect we can visualizes this visit of Nazim also
as an image-making visit of MMA Govt. otherwise their image is very
poor in front of the common men.

Message of Muharram.
Muharram is not only a sacred month in Islam but as well as it was
considered sacred during the period of Ignorance (Jahilia). The
warring tribes of Arabia used to conduct ceasefire during these
months. Muharram is the first month of Hijry year, whereas January
is the first month of Christian year. The difference is in front of
us. We celebrate our own new year with suicide bombing, killing,
destructions and hatred whereas the Christian year begins with
peace pleasant feelings, gifts New Year wishes and love. So the
difference is of hatred and love. Anything if well started it�s
half done. So our own year not start in a right way, that is way we
Muslim are everywhere defeated murdered and hatred in this world.
The process of disintegration not started recently, this is the
very long and old story of destruction and down fall, which began
in the period of third pious Caliph and still its own way to down
fall. Having seen the life of Imam-e-Hussein�s its obviously
becomes clear that in Islam there is no place of blood shed and
destruction. Imam left the city of Medina because he knew that
there would be blood shed if he not left these holly city, he
didn�t take initiative in battle. He sacrificed his own life and
the life of his whole family but didn�t accept the sovereignty of
the Yazid. So the greatest message arises here for whole Umma is
that never accept any dishonest dictator in Islam because in Islam
there is no room for any dishonest dictator, so our today Islamic
world is full of dictators. The feelings of an ordinary man is
shattered and depressed; the Imam never accepted and dishonest
ruler, nor even injustices done by the rulers of the time, and
sacrificed his own life for the cause of truth, sovereignty of
Islam and also for the pure principle of Islam. That is way
everybody sayIslam rebirth after every muharram month. So we should
not have to tolerate any injustices, we should not have not to
welcome dishonest rulers, dictators and also the disguised champion
of Islam who use Islam as a source of benefit for their vested
interest. It is the great responsibility of every Muslim in general
and of every Muslim youth in particularly to learn lession from
this month and great event of the history to play its decisive role
for the purification of our Islamic society and for the renaissance
of true Islam, for the peace prosperity and well being of the whole
Umma and the whole world.
