                                               "ARE WE EATING HARAM"

   An interesting revelation made by different Islamic organizations that majority of Muslims are eating things that are haram and more surprisingly, they don't even know. In this regard one of the such exposition was made by a Muslim named "Sheikh sahib", who once used to work for food department in France which was a governmental organization. According to him:-
              
   "I worked in the food department of France for 10 years. My work was to do the registration of food items, makeup accessories and medicine used to gain power. Whenever a company was about to launch its product into the market I used to receive the samples of these products with which there used to be a list of ingredients used in these products. My work was to send the samples of these products to the laboratory for the clearance, and in return, reports were send to me. Then I used to match the reports provided to me by the laboratory with the list of ingredients used in the product. To check if there is a difference or not. If no difference was found between the reports and the list of ingredients, then a registration letter was issued to that company.


   To my observation, I noticed that whenever I am given the list of ingredients by the companies some codes for example "E904" and "E141" are written along with the names of chemicals, food items and medicines . At first, I was very confounded and I inquired about these codes from my heads and I was told not to worry and just do my job. I was astound to this therefore I started my own investigation, during which some of the horrific facts were revealed to me. I came to know that pork is eaten throughout Europe, America and in the far east. Hundred and thousands of farms are working in these countries. There are about 42 thousands farms in France alone and thousands of pigs are nourished there. When they reach to certain age, they are slaughtered and then they are brought into the markets.


   The Americans and Europeans have their own traditions. These people don't use fat, however when compared with other animals, pig takes the lead since it has the greatest amount of fat in it.


   Two hundred years back, farms were started and a slaughter house was established and meat was supplied to the buyers in the supervision of food departments due to which it became difficult for the suppliers to waste the unused and remaining fat. At first suppliers used to burn this waste but then they realized that it is basically a fat, so why not it should be used in things where fat is required. It was then, these suppliers started to use it by melting fat and then using it in the preparation of soaps and hence they got a satisfactory out come of this experiment. After this a proper processing plant was made which used to process fat, and then the packing of it. This packing was then marketed. Different companies bought these pickings of fat and use it in their food products. At the start of this century, quality control system was started and this system started to supervise the food items and medicine. Companies were obligated to print the list of ingredients at the back of their products, as the result of which these companies started printing "fats of pig" or "pig fats" at the back of their products in the list of ingredients used in the product for few days, this thing went normally until these companies started exporting their products to Islamic countries. Muslims from all over the world started, boycott of these products. In the war of 1857 commonly known as "independence war", with Muslims and Hindus on one side while britishers on the other. The back ground of this war was that in those days, bullets were exported from Europe to Sub-Continent through ships. During the traveling period, this ammunition gets wet because of moisture, with which the ammunition gets unusable. In order to prevent this ammunition from becoming a waste, the Government of Britain started using the layer of pig fat and when this ammunition was used by the Muslim soldiers, they had to get rid of fat layer from their bullets by their teethes. However, the news leaked out somehow that the fat is of pig, as the result of which soldiers made a revolt and this conflict between soldiers and the British Government turned into the "War of Independence". Apart from this war, many incidents of this nature started taking place, due to which companies started suffering with heavy losses and had financial problems, which bought them almost close to bankruptcy.  With this, companies made an uproar, to end this, the European Governments allowed these companies to print "animals fat" instead of printing "pig fats", and started telling Muslims that pig fats are no longer used in their products, instead they are now using other animal fats. At this point, a question comes that if these companies are really using other animal fats instead of pig fats then does it makes their product still a "halal". The answer to it is no. The reason is that the way with which these companies slaughter animals is not allowed in the Islamic shar'iah. Having this thing in mind, the Muslims once again made boycott of their products. At this junction, companies became multinational, and the population of Muslims was increasing day by day in Europe and America and these multinational companies couldn't afford to loose 1/3 of their customers, and at the same time the production of these companies increased so much that it got difficult for them to make proper arrangements, because if these multinational companies would have worked in accordance to Islamic laws then their budget would have been depraved, therefore after having long discussions the board of executives of each and every company decided not to mention "pig fats" anymore on their products. But here comes another problem which is that they are obligated by the quality control system to mention and print the list of ingredients at the back of their products, and if they don't then it will be against the law, so a solution was considered of using "codes", instead of mentioning or printing "pig fats" or "fat of pigs" at the back of their products. These specific codes were used to determine that in what product is what percentage of fat of what animal is used. The list of these specific codes were then distributed to the food departments of different countries, and these multinational companies are now earning huge amount of profit every year. Products like tooth paste, shaving creams, chewing gums, chocolates, biscuits, corn flakes, packed food items, and some life saving medicines, in which some or huge amount of pig fat is used. Being a Muslim, it is my responsibility to aware Muslims of such horrific facts. With all sincerity I am giving out these specific codes which I have sorted out from the files of my office and distributing it as much as I can and for the readers, I am writing these codes below and for more information and suggestions, my Muslim brothers and sisters can contact any alim available to them. The codes are as follows:"
                "E100, E110, E120, E140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E254, E252, E270, E280, E585, E326, E327, E334, E335, E336, E337, E422, E430, E431, E432, E433, E434, E435, E436, E440, E470, E471, E472, E473, E474, E475, E476, E477, E478, E481, E482, E483, E491, E492, E493, E494, E495, E542, E570, E572, E631, E635, E904".

" Merit Positions in HSC Part II Pre- Engineering a fluke"

                   After two and a half tantalizing months when the results of Pre-Medical were announced, the result of HSC - II Pre - Engineering was awaited. But, before the climax there was a mishap, the director of the Board of intermediate education was removed from office on account of result fixing on 22nd August, 2003. The results of Pre- Engineering were then expected to come after re-tabulation and coding in two weeks or so but to the surprise of most the results came out on 26th August, 2003 and the positions went to St. Josephs and Adamjee obviously, frankly speaking I also don't know why, then the very next day there were the published interviews of the position holders and from there the story begins.

                 One of the position holder from Govt. Adamjee Science College claimed that he attended the college on an average of 5%, he accepted that the credit of his position goes to his tuition teachers, when this case was taken in front of the concerned principal he refused any such claims by saying that he was not present at the time.

                Now the point to think over is that before exams the board had announced it clearly that any student who fails to attend college for less then 75% is not eligible to take the exams. Now the question arises how was this position holder allowed to take the exams? On a more harder toen it has been observed that 90% of the students from acclaimed colleges like Adamjee have not fulfilled this requirement, First of all how were they allowed to take the examinations? there must be some illegal mean by which they managed to, to summarize the point the position given is NOT FARE .... if the rule is present it should be implemented ... So for the sake of justice the board should try to revoke this decision.... I appeal  to all the students to protest in this regard you know we aren't against the student but at least or to the must we have to give our views in various news papers and magazines so the board may know that we are not living in a fools paradise.

"Earth's nobelest thing,a Woman perfected!"

                                                                  LOWELL,Irene

   Just a few days back i came across a very intersting piece of a writing which goes like this:

O GOD, THIS IS ALL I ASK OF YOU. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish." Suddenly the sky clouded his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want to." The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me." The man thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, "Lord I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say "nothing" and how I can make a woman truly happy." After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

   Intersting!but while it is said that women- the most complicated creation to undersatnd and like wise opine about thier nature.yet men all around love to do it at all occasions.What a paradox!.An overgrowing sense of competion and an  urge of overshaowding and dominating the fair sex is sometimes incomprehensible.Now a then one may hear a comment or a cranky joke directed towards the girls.Sometime s I realy wonder that all these complains and these weakeness that these men loving reminding women are merely outcome of some of the complexes of men .Talk about false acuusation.
