DISGRACED HUMANITY IN SIALKOT

I dont know in Today's world how people define or take the exact meaning of humanity.But i take it as"the quality of being human",which means all human are same nd have some basic rights nd dutiez towards eachother.And being a human we have some personal and cultural values.These values are an integral part of some personality or any culter.These Values tell people what is good, beneficial, important, useful, beautiful, desirable, appropriate...etc.Values help people solve common human problems for survival. Over time, they become the roots of traditions that groups of people find important in their day to day lives. Values can be positive or negative; some are destructive. To understand people of other cultures, we must come to understand the values, beliefs and assumptions that motivate their behavior of there values over.

As a muslim we believe in islamic ethics nd values.Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. To achieve these rights, Islam provides not only legal safeguards, but also a very effective moral system.We are given four directions:

a) Our faith should be true and sincere,

b) We must be prepared to show it in deeds of charity to our fellow-men,

c) We must be good citizens, supporting social organizations, and

d) Our own individual soul must be firm and unshaken in all circumstances.

This is the standard by which a particular mode of conduct is judged and classified as good or bad.Our religion gives lot of emphasis on social values and responsilbities.The teachings of Islam concerning social responsibilities are based on kindness and consideration of others.Islam lays emphasis on specific acts of kindness and defines the responsibilities and rights within various relationships. In a widening circle of relationships, then, our first obligation is to our immediate family – parents, spouse, and children – and then to other relatives, neighbors, friends and acquaintances, orphans and widows, the needy of the community, our fellow Muslims, all fellow human beings, and animals. Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances whether such a person is resident within the territory of the Islamic state or outside it, whether he is at peace with the state or at war. The Qur'an very clearly states:

O believers, be you securers of justice, witnesses for God. Let not detestation for a people move you not to be equitable; be equitable – that is nearer to the God-fearing. (5:8

Human blood is sacred in any case and cannot be spilled without justification. And if anyone violates this sanctity of human blood by killing a soul without justification, the Qur'an equates it to the killing of entire mankind.

...Whoso slays a soul not to retaliate for a soul slain, nor for corruption done in the land, should be as if he had slain mankind altogether. (5:32)

As a pakistani i dont find these islamic and humanity values around now.I am living away from the boundry but when my eyes see nd ears listen,what is going on in my land,its pinch my heart and bring tears in my eyes.And i feel scared that as a nation where are we leading towards,how our kids will breath in it.I feel ashamed when i see i am a part of those brute people who were involved in or standing as silent spectator in the brutal of two young brothers in sialkot.Me a house wife sitting on a sofa watching this video on Tv like those silent spectators...........NO NO plz, i dont want to stand among them,i want to shout,i want to be loud.YES i am Human,YES i am Muslim and how can i forget i am PAKISTANI.I will not let anyone to make my identity shameful for me.i will not let anyone to think we pakistani are inhuman and terrorist.I want to fight for myself, for my family,for my nation

my heart is mourning for those two young souls,they were killed in a manner in which no one can think to kill even some animal,and later their bodies were disgraced by carried arround the city in a tractor trolley and then their dead bodies were hanged in a open street.Its unbearable for ME,for US and offcourse for the victims family.Will that mother get the justice in this world or we should wait for some other and bigger azab than earth qauke or flood.Will this incendent be another page of news.We want justice not only from Govt,but from whole nation,from our ownselves.Or we are ready to live as a ignorant nation,with a slogan "DO NOT DISTURB".So much busy in our globalized world that we dont bother to involve in human and nation issues.We are happy in our world with holding the dictionary of excuses

.Its a time to think like a nation,stand like a nation and move forward like a strong nation.Yes our voice should be loud, more loud,so not only you and me but whole corrupted world should listen it.We will not seal our lips until we get justice
