Let us see now what happened
In Pakistan a quarrel broke out in the fields between some women, one of them was a Christian. There were unparliamentary lanhuage used and the Muslim women decided to report against the Christian that she talked ill about the prophet of Islam which the Christian woman denies (Swearing on the Bible)
Case goes to court and the judge passes the sentence- Death for the blasphemous utterance. How the investigation ran or shortcircuited etc. remains to be un-earthed because the investigation was improper, legally that is--(performed by a less than SP of Police). The woman in question has appealed mercy to the president of Pakistan Asif Ali zardari (through the Panjab Governer- Salman Taseer)
Even if Zardari annuls the death sentence the very "religious Muslims" will not stay calm.
The woman's life will remain in danger.
Is this what Islam teaches us?
I heard they are considering some change in this law. That is a welcome news

Saugoree means I was born or I hail from Saugor This is the way they spelt the name of that city of my birth during British days of India. Then I moved at 11 years of age to Kotla a village in the Panjab close to the Kashmir border where I finished my initial education and childhood going on to Lahore for further studies where I got BSc and MBBS and then left for NWFP where I spent 2 1/2 years, teaching in the new Medical School, and from there leaving for UK and then USA

Eid-al-Adh-ha, the sacrifice day
This day all the Muslim world celebrates along with the hajjis performing sacrifice of animal, the commemoration of the great sacrifice Ibraheem AS made by sacrificing his own son
Hajjis left Muzdalifa after collecting pebbles and made sacrifice, came out of Ihraam and returned to Makka to perform Tawaf Ziarat.
Lot of things to do for them but happy. Hajj is almost complete. They return to Mina before sunset and visit Makkah on 11th and 12th and if willing to stay for 13th day they would visit daily. Then will return to Makkah for plans to to do whatever they want, for they have completed hajj---Hajj Mabroor
This is a remarkable journey indeed, both physically as well as spiritually

Jum'ah Journal--Da'wah principles
The main principle for inviting people to Allah is laid down in Qur'an itself
"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preachng and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious......." S XVI, Verse 125
Of course such speach or 'preach' is not common to all and I feel only those who have that ability should engage in "da'wa" work. However, this is not to discourage those who are doing this duty. May Allah bless them
I wish to quote here which was sent to me by a friend and it is worth sharing.
The quote is extracted from the speech of Lord Sacks (chief Rabbi of London) who was welcoming the (recent) Pope. He said
"We celebrate both our commonalities and differences because if we had nothing in common we could not communicate and if we had everything in common we would have nothing to say....."
Very good, we need to enlarge it to encompass all three Abrahamic faiths

Sunday Surkhi--US politics and Muslims
There have been various comments about the losses that democrats suffered in this mid-term election. That was expected. Muslims have not yet become sufficiently active to enforce a 'position' within the political grounds of US. It is definitely going to take time and a lot of efforts of the educated group of Muslims in US to carve out a plan and increase their"presence" here. I understand there is Christian right group being affected by anti-Islam propaganda but that should not deter us from active participation. Nay, in fact it should excite us to greater participation.
We need to ignore these anti-Muslim and anti-Islam efforts and carry out our own programd with much more zeal and enthusiasm. That is the need of the day.
