So Pervez Hoodbhoy says Girls at Quaid-i-Azam University are wearing Hijab, (a majority of them) and this is frustrating for him because he thinks wearing Hijab limits girls!
This is #Islamophobia.
Girls in Hijab are doing wonders! He is talking nonsense!
He is calling QAU girls with Hijab "Abnormal" by calling others Normal. He must be ashamed of setting that prejudice based division.
Hijab in no way hampers our female students' intellectual growth. Rather, girls in Hijab are spearheading research at QAU already!
Most of the girls in the Natural Sciences Departments of QAU cover themselves with Hijab and look at their accomplishments. Not saying, Hijab makes them better researchers, just establishing the fact that it does not hamper their growth, their ambitions!
Similarly, many in our very own School of Politics and International Relations covered themselves with Hijab and have been academically top-notch! Those who spread #Islamophobia by spreading hatred against #Hijab must be ashamed. This is Pakistan, not France!

So its been a few days and the soil has settled. Let us look at how fascist PTM got divided as Mohsin Dawar got fed up with Manzoor Pashteen.
PTM is still led by Manzoor Pashteen himself but many of its founding members along with Mohsin Dawar have left it and made their own party, "National Democratic Movement" whose chairman is Mohsin Dawar.
After collapse of Ghani regime in Afghanistan, the foreign support dwindled and political scenario for PTM changed so much that its leader Mohsin Dawar developed his own party on September 1. Manzoor Pashteen called it a betrayal of oath.
There is no way you can figure out you are dreaming while you are still in the dream. At times you live years in the dream. You know what this implies?
This implies the reality of today can be as relative as the reality of the dream. Of course, subjectively real world here is the only real world we know of but what if we are all in a kind of multiplayer dream. The ones who die wake up to a very different reality?
I know my thoughts can be complexing more than being food for thought but I sincerely do believe sleep has a great connection to death and even life after death. Prophet SAWW had said "Sleep is the brother of Death!" for a reason.
Islam, at the intellectual level has only one adversary and that is atheism. Glad to know that the Muslim world is producing scholars and debaters who are well equipped with both philosophy and theology and are striving to regain intellectual superiority for Muslim World.
Sahil Adeem, is a man equipped with philosophy, Quran and Hadith and communicates in a way that is not way academic, even a 12 year old can understand his speech. He, using reasoning and logic, provides rebuttal to atheism. A must follow personality!
Hamza Tzortzis is a researcher & debater in philosophy and theology and specialises in Atheism. He is one of the best Muslim researchers/debaters countering atheism in the modern times. His debate with physicist Lawrence Kraus on Islam vs Atheism brought him to limelight!
Our generation has an immense responsibility as it has to confront this gigantic storm of obscenity coming from the West. This storm in the form of films and other media is deforming the meaning of Romance.
THIS THREAD features some Real Romance between Prophet ﷺ and Aisha R.A:
When prophet ﷺ was asked in public about most beloved person to him , he replied “Aisha”. It was then asked “and among men?”, prophet ﷺ did not say “Abubakar” directly rather he referred to him as “Aisha’s father” to highlight his love for Aisha.
At that time, people wouldn’t even praise their wives, expressing love was far from it. Prophet ﷺ broke that tradition of ignorance. Prophet ﷺ affectionately called Aisha R.A “Humaira” (the Rosy cheeked one).
This THREAD is a response to criticism on Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi by some so called experts on Indian history who declare Ghaznavi a plunderer and a hater of Hindus who launched his expeditions for communal reasons.
Self-Loathing has no cure perhaps.
Anyways, lets dig in!
Before Mahmood became the king of Ghazni, a Hindu ruler Jaipal of North India had already invaded Ghazni twice. Indian historian Romila Thapar, in her book 'Somanatha' wrote that Hindu Rajas frequently attacked Arab traders based in Ghazni and Hormuz and looted their wealth.
Romila Thapar also added that the Arab traders were often looted by the looters active in the coastal areas of India. These looters were known as Bairooj. There was continuous disturbance for the Ghazni based traders in India due to these circumstances even before Mahmood.
While I firmly support government in its fight for Kashmir, Here is what the Government should have done by now. Sadly none of this hasn't been done yet. #Thread
Remember Iranian embassies throughout the world during Iran Iraq war? They used to be full of pictures, literature, banners, highlighting the atrocities of Iraq.
#Pakistan embassies have not done this yet.
Our ambassadors are busy sharing press releases only.
Pakistani embassies in at least 10 important capitals could arrange urgent #Kashmir conference by assuring massive participation of the Pakistani diaspora.
