Three Talaq Law in Islam

        I have talked about Divorce in Islamic understanding in my Urdu blog 

    But have written in English some aspects about what is called "three Talaq" so please see it there.

   My main reason is that among Muslims it is generally considered to  always utter the word talaq three times. Although saying it one time by the Husband (A) and (waiting for the Iddat period to finish,)  Talaq is completed. So after that if the couple wants to go back together  they will have to have a new nikah with (A)  If this process is repeated for TWO more times that will complete three Talaqs after which they cannot remarry UNLESS the wife marries some body else (B) and gets divorced from (B) him (and after Iddat period) can remarry her original husband (A)

     Unfortunately in most of the dramas and movies the divorce shown is the three times Talaq (in one sitting) only I have never seen any Bollywood or Lolliwood movie or drama in which one time talaq is shown There is one Bollywood movie old one  "Nikah" in which this question is shown with clarification (Starring Raj Babbar)

Filthy rich family

   1 -   Filthy (meaning the same also) rich family of the Shareefs (take opposite meanings)

   Well this made me feel so sad and angry that Maryam Nawaz just bought a luxury airplane

 "Well this family is one of the richest family in Pakistan and has been for over half a century. The price of the Plane is in Millions of dollars (Try converting into Pakistani currency). Add to it the maintenance, salary monthly of  the two pilots (Foriegn, even though Pakistanis are the best pilots in the world), Price of fuel,  spareparts, taxes etc. etc. is also in millions .

  Well they have the money so she can buy anything but where is she going to travel and what is the important engangements she must keep (currently not serving Pakistan Government but maybe  the government is on her personal service?) Maybe she needs to go shopping to Paris or America every so often.

  2 -  It reminds me of other filthy rich people like Trump or "Raja Hari Singh" of Kashmir 

If you know Urdu and want to see the detail of this Raja you should read QudratUllah Shahab book . ShahabNama

 He describes this type of richness using an example of how the raja used to clean himself after toilet. The servants will take about one "Thaan Lattha" (about 30-40 yards or maybe less of white cloth) and pull back and forth under the Tashreef of the Raja to clean daily and then leaving/donating that cloth for the poor people of Kashmir. The process described in full detail only Shahab Saheb's pen can do.

 3 - Trumps It is horrifying to know how much the sons and son-in-law of this President is making money from selling war material like Drones where they are being manufactured, yes his family member own such places I have given only one example about which I found out Long time ago when he was first elected President I said the Americans have made a huge mistake by electing this Megalomaniac or MAGAlomaniac, a known womaniser, a loudmouth boaster with fakes and fibs.  He was already known to have these charachteristics. Unfortunately he has now done all the damages that he could do to the whole world and not just America or The position of the President of USA

Wake up my American fellows, calling him idiot now is not helpful, so think about this when you go for voting next

Rev Jesse Jackson

      Reverend Jesse Jackson

  Today I heard Barak Hussain Obama spoke at the funeral of Rev Jackson

    I am always impressed by Barak Obama speech but he recounted Jesse Jacksons life in brief pointing out very important features that matter for the Americans. The words he expressed about Trump and his administration without naming were very  true and  stinging and sarcasting. It is a treat to listen to him and I invite you to do that

"we are living in a time hard to cope. Every day we wake up to some assault on our democratic institution"   

 "We find some Americans are more "american" than others and some dont even count at all" 

 "Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated and Bulling and mockery masqurading as strength" 

 We see science and expertise denigrated while ignorance and dishonesty and cruelty and corruption are reaping untold rewards every single day"

Forgot to write this blog

  It seems I forgot to write this blog

Now I tried to open it and discovered even the title had not been written This clearly proves my memory deficit is interfering in my activities. I have noticed  "word-finding" type of problems for about a couple of years now Other aspects of "senile Dementia" are not yet noticable but  how long more I can wait 

I have been aware of learning new things difficulty for over a year also. So gradually  what Quran calls "Arzal-el-Umar" is here for me. 

  The Quran mentions about "things you knew and remembered are now escaping your memory" or something like that which the  prominent feature of the onset of Senility. I have to adjust and readjust things I do and the timings as to how to remind myself even my Namaz which gets disturbed. It is the "immediate" memory that is giving me hard time. Readers may also notice some poor words in my expression, Driving and trying to find/follow correct roads/streets is to say the least, very challanging

Awara Dil

     Hay apna dill to aawaara najanay kiss pe aa-ay ga

I enjoyed such songs as if they were expressing my own condition/feelings  like:

  Jawanian ye must must bin piyay,  jalati chal rahi hen rah men diyay

na janay in men kiss kay wastay hun main

na janay in main kawn hay meray liyay   -  meray liyay

 I was just thinking about these songs today and I remember I tried to sing it as a presentation along with Zaheer who could sing some too with all or some classfellows who got together in Lahore on our 25th anniversary of graduation

  But it did not work out as our talk/discussions did not go in such direction There had been assessination of BeNazir Bhtto that week

Heart and its Rhythm

                  December brings a year to an end and makes us reflect over the last year or years of our lives.

   From the title one would think of all kinds of heart functions but Rhythm relates to its physical function only.   My heart has had rhythm problems for decades but has undergone more changes over the last 5 years, more so than before. All over my life or at least about 75 years my BP always was 120/80 plus minus 10 Maximum systolic in later years never more than 142 systolic but after my little renal stone it shot up and now I have regular hypertention needing medication to control. As for rhythm it is stable with medications and today it all checked out fine but the pacemaker has only 7 months life of battery left which will need changing  with a new one

    In addition diabetic tendency seems to have increased too, along with all other  problems As I used to say if you live long enough you are going to have diabetes

Well on the whole I thank the Almighty who has given me so many years of healthy life and still have His grace for keeping me good with almost normal mind - just some memory difficulties 

Have now to look forward to the year 2026 and beyond. . . .
