First Pakistan and Now Children Butchered in Australia

Australian police have closed off the street of the property where eight children were found dead in Cairns, December 19, 2014.

Australian authorities say eight children aged between 18 months and 15 years old have been found dead at a house in the northern city of Cairns, reportedly after a mass stabbing.
The police said Friday that a woman was also found with stab wounds at the property in the city’s suburb of Manoora.
The 34-year-old woman was taken to hospital and is in a stable condition and helping detectives with their inquiries.
Another sibling, a 20-year-old man, reportedly arrived home to find his eight siblings dead inside the house.
Reports widely stated that the children were stabbed to death, while other outlets said they had been suffocated. Police did not immediately give any details on the issue.
"As it stands at the moment, there's no need for the public to be concerned about this other than the fact that it's a tragic, tragic event," said Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar.
Police were questioning neighbors and officers had not determined the relationship between all of the children and the injured woman.
However, the woman’s cousin Lisa Thaiday reportedly said that the dead children were all siblings and the woman was their mother.
A stepfather was also known to live at the property, reported Sky News, saying, however, that his whereabouts are unknown.

Rally in Mumbai Supporting People of Bahrain and Yemen

Today afternoon there was a huge gathering of protesters at Azad Maidan, south of Mumbai City. The Mumbaiites held placards condemning the violence on peaceful protesters by the Bahraini and Yemeni regimes.
People have gathered in great numbers. They came to show solidarity to the oppressed ones of Bahrain and Yemen. They were from different part of the cities of Mumbai and Thane. According to the sources the crowd was over 10,000. A group of Bahraini students held a huge flag of their country and shouted slogans against the tyrant ruler who has been brutally killing the innocent, peaceful and unarmed protesters.
On the stage, speaker after speaker came on the microphone and condemned the atrocities committed by oppressors and dictators of the gulf region.
The president of Zainabia Islamic Centre, Hujjatol Islam Maulana Sayed Hasnain Kararvi described the attitude of the West deplorable and of double standard. In one country they are against the ruler and on other hand they support another tyrant.

Rizvi Biulder Gags Obama's Islam Envoy in Mumbai

Rashad Hussain, US president Barack Obama’s special envoy to the Organisation of Islamic Conference (IOC), the second largest international body, was on a day’s visit to the city to deliver a lecture titled ‘The Obama Administration’s Outreach to the Muslim World’.
Meeting with the press and students of Rizvi College of Architecture, Hussain was in his element as he listed the Obama administration’s efforts in the field of education, science and technology, entrepreneurship and health to reach out to the global Muslim community and bridge the gaps created by past US governments.
Akhtar Hasan Rizvi, prominent builder and education baron, sat calm and composed as Hussain spoke. When it was his turn on the dais, Rizvi politely welcomed his guest and gave a brief disclaimer, saying, “I welcome the move and support it but doubt the US president’s success.”
Thereafter, the general secretary of the Nationalist Congress Party and former Parliamentarian didn’t mince his words, citing grouses which the Muslim community has held for decades against the US. “America gave birth to terrorism and the Jewish policy needs to be controlled,” Rizvi told a visibly shaken Hussain.

Today is the Barsi of marhum Shaykh Ismail Rajabi (T.S)

Hujjatul Islam wal Muslimeen Maulana Shaikh Ismail Rajabi (r.a.) was a highly learned religious scholar, well-versed in Islamic jurisprudence and other vital subjects like beliefs, history, Tafseer, etc. He led the congregational prayers of Moghal Masjid in Bombay for almost 25 years and regularly explained religious laws from the pulpit for the followers of Ahle Bait (a.s.). Most of his time was spent in reading, writing and research. He had also established a publication organization by the name of ‘Idaarah-e-Nashr-e-Uloom-e-Aale Muhammad (a.s.) along with his near ones individuals, which published numerous books written by him. He penned them in Persian and marhum Sayed Ghulam Hasnain kararvi translated them into Urdu language. They both together formed an organisation by the name of Association of Imam Mahdi (a.s.) whose exclusively spread the name of Imam of the time, Hazrat Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Now, this organisation is flowering in numerous places of the city. He specially concentrated on youth development. He was not the one to be allured by worldly attractions, the revered Shaikh Saahab (r.a.) was a dignified propagator, watchful in actions, careful in words and pure in thoughts. He was an embodiment of all spiritual virtues that Islam stood for and hence, the very mention of Sayyedush Shuhadaa, Imam Husain (a.s.), had him sobbing uncontrollably. He never ceased to think about the guidance and welfare of the Indian Shia community - especially the youth. He always reminded those around him that every Shia had a duty towards their Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.) and that they would be intensely questioned about the Mastership of the Ahle Bait (a.s.) in the life hereafter. He refrained the youth from indulging in vain pursuits like sports and films and instead, asked them to concentrate on the true divine sciences of the Ahle Bait (a.s.). He passed away in the month of Rajab of the year 1987 and is buried in the Rehmatabad Grayeyard of Mumbai. 
Last night there was a Majlis at Moghal Masjid for his sawaab. 
Please recite a surah Fateha for his departed soul.
May Allah the Almighty grant his soul an elevated status in the proximity of the Ahle Bait (a.s.)! Aameen!

Solid Eimaan

Holy Prophet of Islam says:

"The Eimaan (belief) of a person cannot be stable unless his heart is not stable and his heart cannot become stable unless his tongue is not stable (in control)."

It can be said that Eimaan of a person of loose tongue and abusive behaviour is unstable. He is a threat to the society, fellow believers and a loser himself.

Some devour it for their taste buds. Some consider it as fast and no-preparation feast. Some abstain as a medical reason due to flour and a harmful bakery product. But, most of Bombay walaas love it.
