Free Islamic iPhone Applications
Jun 22nd
While searching for religious (Islamic) apps for the iPhone, I came across these which I find to be a very good collection for those who would like to read the Holy Quran or sermons of Imam Ali (A.S) on your iPhone or Blackberry. Here’s the list with their links:
iQuran
I personally like this application very much. It is very easy to read and navigate through. iQuran offers its users the Complete Quran in Arabic along with its various translations. Specially designed to allow easy reading with easy scrolling, iPhone style. With excellent built-in audio capabilities, iQuran utilizes these to provide a very satisfying recitation playback experience, excellent navigation and fast scrolling support with verse for verse recitation along with auto-scrolling and verse highlighting.

Jul 13th
Well, it looks like things are not too bad after all. Or is it just that Amin Fahim and Ishaq Dar have a different personal point-of-view about him? Whatever the case, the recent meeting at a wedding in Dubai is definitely something both the PPP and the PML-N would not want to boast about. Here is what the Gulf News reports:
…Some interesting encounters were witnessed. A meeting between Musharraf and PPP stalwart Makhdoom Ameen Fahim raised some eyebrows as Fahim dashed to greet Musharraf just before he was leaving. They shook hands and exchanged a few words with broad smiles on their faces…
and
…Just a minute earlier, as Musharraf was leaving the reception hall, senior PML(N) leader Ishaq Dar, a close aid of Nawaz Sharif, also shook hands with Musharraf…
What happened Mr. Dar? Don’t you want him hanged for ‘treason’, like you call it?

Feb 13th
Love him, hate him, loath him, adore him – but the reality is – he is GONE. He spoke to me before he decided to. He has left. He has, undoubtedly, been what has kept our little blogosphere alive.
Here’s his farewell post: http://blog.ratedsawj.com/2009/02/12/khuda-hafiz
That is all I have to say. We will all miss you, Ali. And some day, tum bohat maar khaao ge!

Dec 25th
By Arsalan Tariq Mir
Friday, 26th December – 2008
While searching for the great Quaid’s speeches on the eve of his birthday I came across this last speech he delivered 2 months before his death. After reading this I understood the real cause of economic crisis we face today, which was well-known to the Quaid-e-Azam on the inauguration of the State Bank of Pakistan.
Quaid-i-Azam’s Speech on the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of The State Bank of Pakistan on 1st July, 1948.
“Mr. Governor, Directors of State Bank, Ladies and Gentlemen.
The opening of the State Bank of Pakistan symbolises the sovereignty of our State in the financial sphere and I am very glad to be here today to perform the opening ceremony. It was not considered feasible to start a Bank of our own simultaneously with the coming into being of Pakistan in August last year. A good deal of preparatory work must precede the inauguration of an institution responsible for such technical and delicate work as note issue and banking. To allow for this preparation, it was provided, under the Pakistan Monetary System and Reserve Bank Order, 1947, that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to be the currency and banking authority of Pakistan till the 30th September, 1948. Later on it was felt that it would be in the best interests of our State if the Reserve Bank of India were relieved of its functions in Pakistan , as early as possible. The State of transfer of these functions to a Pakistan agency was consequently advanced by three months in agreement with the Government of India and the Reserve Bank. It was at the same time decided to establish a Central Bank of Pakistan in preference to any other agency for managing our currency and banking. This decision left very little time for the small band of trained personnel in this field in Pakistan to complete the preliminaries and they have by their untiring effort and hard work completed their task by the due date which is very creditable to them, and I wish to record a note of our appreciation of their labours.

Sep 28th
I really did not wish to write another word on the new President of Pakistan, but I feel compelled to share this cartoon that appeared in the international media.
Flirting with Sarah Palin, candidate for the office of Vice President in the USA. Is this in the name of the Shaheed Mohtarma too? Out of love for her, perhaps? May Allah have mercy on the Pakistani nation!

Aug 29th
A young Pakistani commentator tells the tale of Asif Ali Zardari and his success in making it to the top. He is known as the most powerful man in Pakistan today. She describes him as a man who saw his wife every day, in all her glory and he patiently stood behind her chair, overlooked as a part of the background.
Mr. Zardari today has a lot to be proud of, he can afford to grin at the camera when the people in the country have no gas, electricity or food.
