“Know your risk” is the theme of this year’s World Heart Day, being observed on Sept 28. This day is a call to action, to help, to achieve the longer and better life, through prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension.
There are no obvious symptoms of high blood pressure, and the only way to know is to visit your healthcare professional for a checkup. That’s why this year’s World Heart Day will be urging people to ‘know your risk’.
The world’s No.1 enemy (heart disease and stroke) kills 17.5 million people each year. The figures given by researchers show that by 2025 more than 1.5 billion people will have high blood pressure.
To register a protest against the world’s No.1 killer (hypertension), we all have to take a significant step towards the prevention of our life being affected by hypertension. It is our lifestyle and culture which seems to be contributing to our risk of developing heart diseases and stroke.
Many of us are not aware of how to prevent a heart disease and this unawareness is one of the causes of its increasing risk. To prevent a heart disease and stroke, take regular exercise, say no to smoking, and have a healthier diet, low in salt and fat and rich in fibers, fresh vegetables and fruits.
We should unite to support the World Heart Day together and register an act to help the people by educating them about heart diseases and their prevention.

My Letter in Dawn and Frontier Post [ON SAME DAY]
salam,
Today my same letter is published in two newspapers [Dawn and Frontier post]. here is the copy of both ...
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Why Pakistan is not Progressing Towards Advancements?
Why Pakistan is not progressing towards advancements? Its because Pakistan is suffering from large number of internal and external problems, [subcategorized as social, political and economic problems]. Internal problems are: Poor Education, Poverty and problems in government [Dictatorship]. External Implication [international concern] is the Excessive Growth. All the problems are connected with each other and their only solution is Education.
The greater loss which Pakistan is facing is in the area of Education. On examination of Pakistan’s overall literacy rate we come to know that only 37.8% are literate (50% for men and 24.4% for women), that means 61.2% are illiterate (50% male and 75.6% females). There are two causes of continuously decreasing literacy rate, (1) high population growth (2) No progress in the area of Education. Women are poorly educated about family planning and this has become the main reason for increased population and decreased literacy rate. Poorly educated population makes Pakistan a poor choice for the foreign investors that it so desperately needs.
Today, Pakistan is the 7th highest populated country in the world with the growth rate of 2.17, and it is predicated that by 2050 it will jump to the 3rd position. We can control the Excessive growth by education, awareness and by introducing some new laws, rules and regulations, like in china, where every couple is allowed to have only one baby.
Thus education is the only solution to the problems of Pakistan and to spread awareness, is the responsibility of every educated citizen.

15th September 2008 – The First International Day of Democracy
If we turn back the pages of History we will come to know that democracy have flourished, threatened, and re-emerged in many countries of the world. To acknowledge this universality of the principles of democracy, UN General Assembly has declared 15th September as the International Day of Democracy. This decision was made in the year 2007.
The word Democracy is used by almost all of us, but still many of us don’t know the meaning of Democracy. Today we are celebrating the international day of democracy, and I think it’s the right time to know about Democracy. The word, democracy, comes from two Greek words: demos, which means "the people," and kratein, which means "to rule". This "rule by the people" originated in the sixth century BC—and has been evolving ever since. When the United Nations established the International Day of Democracy, it noted that "while democracies share common features, there is no single model of democracy" and that "democracy does not belong to any country or region".
Pakistan’s first democratic leader was Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and then followed by many. It is said that Bhutto Family in Pakistan and Gandhi Family in India have lost their lives in fighting for Democracy. Nelson Mandela bought the Democratic Revolution in South Africa and Ang San Soki, the Democratic Leader of Myanmar is still locked up in jail for the sake of Democracy.
This universal day has bought some opportunities with it, I am mentioning few of it;
(1) Make contributions in raising the public awareness towards Democracy.
(2) Examine and discuss how well parliament performs its democratic functions.
(3) Identify what steps Parliament may take to strengthen its effectiveness.
(4) Fix the problems like, Corruption, Domination of any single sex, Public Apathy [Loss of Public Interest in Politics] and Tyranny of the Majority.
(5) Support Democracy to make it well equipped to deal with the current threats to Human Security [Environmental Degradation, Civil War and Terrorism].
(6) Help to Ensure the Fundamental [Basic] Freedoms and respect of Human Rights.
Take the above opportunities as a last chance and without wasting time, start dancing on it from today.
In a democracy, all the citizens [women and men] play an important role in political and civic life, We express our will through regular free and fair elections. In Pakistan people have expressed their will and now it’s the time to promote and protect human rights so that we all, no matter our race, gender, personal belief or style of life, can participate in formulating the laws and policies to which we are subject. Thank You.

Scaned copy of News
i am posting the scanned copy of the news regarding fatwa against islamic banking and islamic TV channels which was published in jang newspaper, i dont remember the date, sorry :D.
Sunday, September 7, 2008
FATWA ON ISLAMIC BANKING AND ISLAMIC TV CHANNELS: RIGHT OR WRONG ?
Pakistan also known as “Fort Of Islam” has once again succeeded in keeping the tradition of “Giving Unexpected & Strange Decisions” alive. The scholars of Islam have given fatwa in which Islamic banking and Islamic TV channels have been declared Haram or illegal [in Islam].
On one side some scholars are part of governing bodies of Islamic Banks and on the other side some scholars have declared it as Haram. To whom we follow in this regard, is getting difficult for us.
Regarding TV channels, scholars have said that they show the pictures of scholars [Aalims] and picture taking and showing is haram in islam, I totally agree with them, but there are some rules regarding pictures, which have been made clear by Dr. Zakir Naik in his debates & lectures and Sheikh Abd al-wahhab al-turayri [former professor of al-imam university Riyadh] has also thrown some light on the rules regarding pictures in islam. I would like to quote some of the rules which they have told us in their lectures.
Its written in Sahi Bhukari and Sahi Muslim [Books of Ahadees], that whoever paints or portraits the picture of any living thing [humans, animals, plants] by his hand, will be told at the day of judgment to give them life, to make them alive, and if you failed to do this, you will be punished.
Those pictures which are used by childrens to play and to learn are allowed in islam, and its proof is one hadith of Sahi Muslim and Sahi Bhukari, in which Hazrat Aisha [razi allah tallah anha] says that I use to play with dolls along with my friends in front of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH], and He never stopped me.
Photography [by camera] is also not prohibited in islam, because the pictures taken out from camera are not made by hand, they are the reflections which we capture on paper, if this is prohibited then why we watch in Mirror ? that’s also the reflection. TV channels show the video, and video is nothing but just the pictures which are shown in speed i.e., 24 pictures per second and it looks like live scene.
Way of communication is changed now, there was a time when people use to walk from one city to other to post letters, but if we will do this thing now, we’ll be called fool, because we have the facility of automobiles, and we should use that. Today the best way of communication is Media [TV, Radio Fm], If our adults can copy the movie actors, to whom they watch on TV, if our womens can act and deliver same dialogues which they hear and see on Star Plus Serials, this proves that TV has got power to bring change in people. So if we will show Islamic Programs, Lectures and Debates of Famous Scholars, that surely can bring a change, not to all but atleast few muslims can become Good Muslims. By the help of TV we can tell the non muslims that what exactly ISLAM is, we can portray the correct image of ISLAM, we can prove all those people wrong who are spreading the wrong information in the name of Islam. Every invention has its benefits and disadvantages, but for the sake of some disadvantages we cannot stop using that invention, especially when we are getting a huge benefit from it.
Though our scholars are more educated than us but with sorry I want to say that the recent decision taken against Islamic TV Channels is wrong [In My View].

No Scope of Preventive Medicine in Pakistan?
The people of Pakistan are not happy with the type of treatment available in Pakistan, and they have been always demanding that replace this treatment with the one which is used in developed countries like USA and UK. I am a medical student, I was taking a class during which our professor told us that in Pakistan few doctors took the risk of doing a diploma course in Preventive Cardiology after completion of MBBS, by which they can reduce the number of diseased persons [Heart Diseases], reduce the chances of diseases [Heart Diseases], and our people welcomed their such step by not visiting their clinics, these doctors are called Preventive Cardiologists.
Few countable doctors of Pakistan did a diploma in preventive cardiology after MBBS, and became the preventive cardiologist. Till today you have heard the name of cardiologist but many of you might have heard the name of preventive cardiologist for the first time. Those doctors who treat the diseases of Heart [Cardiovascular diseases], are called Cardiologist and those who check the healthy persons and give them advices regarding prevention of Heart Diseases [Cardiovascular Diseases] are called Preventive Cardiologists.
In Pakistan very few have visited these Preventive Cardiologists to take advices, the response of our people have made these doctors to think that whether they had made a mistake by doing this diploma, or whether they had made a mistake by thinking to facilitate the people of Pakistan. In Pakistan, many facilities are absent, and among these absent facilities one is “Lack of Medical Awareness Programs”. Such programs are arranged in few Big Cities, but inspite of local uneducated people, doctors themselves were attending. This is wrong, although some doctors too need awareness but local people especially needs this.
We should arrange programs regarding knowledge and prevention of common and fatal diseases, how can we stay healthy, how can we prevent diseases, what’s good and what’s bad for our body, etc. If we can’t arrange this sort of programs in every city, then we should telecast such programs on air, so that every common people should see and understand the need of such knowledge.
I request the government to invest money in arrangement of Medical Awareness Programs, I request the Senior and Experienced doctors to take part in educating the people regarding health, and last but not the least I request the every common people, that please wherever you see such programs, do attend that, its our need. Don’t visit doctors only after illness, do visit them during healthiness to maintain it.
