Early Life and Turning Point Maulana Tariq Jameel’s journey to faith began in a way few might expect. Born into a landlord family, his childhood was marked by a love for singing and a keen interest in films. His family desired him to become a doctor, a highly prestigious profession at the time. However, during his studies at Government College Lahore, a friend introduced him to the Tablighi Jamaat, drastically altering his life. This exposure to the Tablighi movement sparked a deep desire within him to explore and eventually dedicate his life to the study and preaching of Islam. Jameel describes the beginning of his transformation as gradual. Initially unaware of religious practices like prayer, he soon became fascinated by the teachings of Islam and the compassionate way of life it prescribed. The influence of his teachers at the Raiwind seminary played a pivotal role, teaching him that religion was not just about rituals but about embodying a lifestyle of kindness, humility, and serv...

  Introduction: Lawyers as Pioneers in Pakistan’s History At the Lawyers' Convention, Hamid Khan delivered a powerful speech, reminding the audience of the critical role lawyers played in the creation of Pakistan. He emphasized that no military general was involved in the country’s formation. Instead, it was the legal minds, such as Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Liaqat Ali Khan, and Suhrawardy, who led the movement that brought Pakistan into existence. These were lawyers who understood the power of law and constitutionality, and today, Khan emphasized, the legal community must once again step forward to defend the country's democratic institutions and the independence of its judiciary. Judicial Independence Under Threat: From Political to Judicial Engineering Khan’s speech underscored the continuous assault on Pakistan’s judiciary, warning of the military’s alarming shift from political engineering to judicial engineering. For decades, the military had been manipulating the...

  There was a time when Pakistan was teetering on the edge, caught in a cycle of political instability, economic hardship, and a deeply divided society. The streets were filled with protests, and the air was thick with uncertainty. Human rights violations were rampant, the media was silenced, and the people were losing hope in democracy. Yet, amidst this chaos, a new spirit began to awaken in the hearts of ordinary Pakistanis—a spirit of resilience, unity, and hope. This is the story of how Pakistan rose from its darkest hour and emerged stronger, united, and prosperous. The People’s Movement for Change It started small. A group of students, frustrated by the lack of opportunities and growing authoritarianism, began organizing peaceful gatherings in their communities. They were joined by lawyers, teachers, farmers, and factory workers—people from all walks of life who had one thing in common: they wanted their voices to be heard. This grassroots movement, which came to be known as ...

Introduction Learning has always been a challenge for me. I’d go to class, sit down, and try to focus, but my attention would drift. Whether it was a bird outside the window or classmates chatting, I’d often find myself lost in thought. This lack of focus made school hard, and it wasn’t long before I was falling behind. But over time, I’ve learned how to hack my learning process. I managed to teach myself a tool called QlikView in just 2 days before a critical interview at a pharmaceutical company—and it worked. That’s when I realized speed learning could be a game-changer. Today, I’m passionate about learning new skills, from AI to new languages, and I’ve even created my own YouTube videos and bots. My love for learning has grown into both a habit and a hobby. In this guide, I’m going to share the techniques I’ve developed and how ChatGPT can help anyone become a speed learner. 1. The Power of Focused Learning When I had to prepare for my Meta data science interview, I had only two da...

  A Day of Unrest Today, Pakistan was once again engulfed in political unrest. Protests and roadblocks stretched from Rawalpindi to Islamabad and even into northern Punjab. The government, in response, disrupted normal life in a bid to control the growing unrest. This article explores the key facts and the deeper implications behind this chaos, which is not just about freeing a political leader but is tied to the struggle for the country’s constitutional integrity. The Protest’s Core Issue: A Constitutional Crisis   Imran Khan's supporters took to the streets, not just to demand his release but to oppose a larger agenda: the proposed constitutional package. This package would weaken Pakistan's Supreme Court, placing it under the leadership of Justice Qazi Faez Isa, who was set to head a new constitutional court. Essentially, this move aimed to strip the Supreme Court of its authority. The protesters see this as an assault on Pakistan's democracy and a threat to human rights...

 Introduction: The Lens of Global Perception Pakistan’s international reputation is shaped by a variety of factors, with security concerns at the forefront. Both the U.S. and the U.K. have issued travel advisories to their citizens due to terrorism threats and street crime in certain regions.
