  Feminism: Perspectives from my perspective. As a movement for equal political and legal rights for women, "feminism" originated from the French word " feminisme," coined by socialist utopian Charles Fourier. Feminism exists in several forms, including liberal, radical, socialist, and Marxist. Food for thought : In our Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which has been built on the ideas of Islam, the question is whether should  we  follow these western influences? Muslim beliefs and values are much higher than those of the West. How could we possibly be easily distracted by the western wave when we have something superior to offer? The term Feminism has always intrigued me.   Let’s dive in:   As a girl, in our culture, a MEHRAM must approve of a girl's trip from choosing a dress coat to a destination (which is also true in a sense, you can call me an orthodox for this, but they know the mentality of other men, another factor, as men being men!) The question...

If I were to mute something, I would mute all the violent voices that pass straight through the ears piercing through the hearts. I were mute the inwardly and outwardly voices that cease the person from moving forward. I were mute all the unneeded opinions that inhibit others from shooting for the moon. I were mute the chuckles that arise and rise on someone’s downfall. I were mute the scoldings that fade the spirits of a new bee from starting its journey. I were highly mute the violence that causes the confidence of others to shatter, that promoted self-doubt among others. I were mute the ones who speak without filters.     I wish I would mute the one who interferes with the serenity of nature and disturbs the tranquility of nature by voraciously speaking.   "Let Silence be the art you practice."                                                ...

Youth as an Ambassador of Islam: ذٰلِكَ الۡڪِتٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَ ۛۚ ۖ فِيۡهِ ۛۚ هُدًى لِّلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ                                                     (Surah Al Baqarah: Verse 2) ‘This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil).” As Quran's authenticity can no longer be questioned, there is a dire need of holding the teachings of Islam to cope up with challenges faced by Muslim Ummah. The Current State of Muslim Youth:   The common challenge, we as Muslim Ummah is facing right now is the misperceptions and misconceptions of youth about the teachings of Islam. Youth has numerous questions regarding the teachings of Islam that are interpreted to them in a quite disturbing way. We, the youth do not see Islam as an important element of our life, as our necessity, we see it as a part of our tradition or a religion th...

  Breaking down the Stigma - Hear out the unheard. Every one in four persons around the globe is suffering from some sort of mental illness. An obscure trauma, insufferable agony, inaudible screech that starts from within and eventually becomes a part. Although we are living in the third decade of the 21st-century, mental illness is still a stigma in our society. There is a dire need of raising awareness about this stigma. We must consider mental health as important as one’s physical health and that there should be no reluctance in seeking professional aid. At times we are unable to endure the heaviness of our heart, the heftiness of our souls, and the denseness of our untold feelings all that we need to feel as light as hope. It is natural to feel ill at ease when we are unable to cope with the ongoing circumstances. It is a sort of a warning of our minds about unanticipated occurrences. Regardless of making efforts in controlling our mind, the fact is, we just cannot take our min...
