Festive Ramadan



Ramadan; The most blissful and sacred Month for the Muslim Ummah which makes them learn to spend their lives with generosity, unity and humbleness , so become unpretentious and modest. Muslims around the world start preparations for Ramadan before its arrival by decorating Mosques, organize Iftar for poor. People use to welcome Ramadan by arranging Milad e Nabi SWS and other pious debut.

So do it’s welcomed in Pakistan.


There is only distinction which makes Pakistan different from the rest of the world and that is the rise in rates of EVERY STUFF.

When Christmas, Easter, New Year or any other occasion arrives in foreign countries, they use to display Sale and apply discounts on everything including food items to gadgets. But, in Pakistan on the arrival of Eid or Ramadan, the price of everything goes double and becomes out of reach of moderate person. The ordinary can’t dare to buy fruits, dates, Vegetables, pulses and every food item which is not a luxury but mandatory. Inflation is not restricted to only food items but it counts on every stuff including clothes, shoes, accessories, gadgets and petroleum etc.


This is not just a conspiracy but bitter reality which is exposed by the media through every medium while it’s not confined to the media but ordinary man is actually suffering from such misfortune; there is no hesitation to call it MISFORTUNE.

Being a Pakistani citizen and above all a Muslim, I protest against such brutal behavior which is behaved by none other than our own Muslim brothers.

According to Hadith Nabvi SWS: "A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others." [Sahih Muslim].”

Istikhaara

A: Girl can't do Istikhaara, in fact female can't do Istikhaara.

B: Where did you hear from? I never heard any hadith or reference regarding such issue.

A: An Aalim told us that female is not allowed to do Istikhaara and if she does, it's never authentic.


I need a clear understanding of mentioned issue with reference. Also, Quran and Hadith reference about Istikhaara.
