Nowadays whenever I see my baby laughing, giggling, playing around I look away, almost feeling at fault and guilty for being at this place in life while in another part of the world there is a mother who will never hear this voice again in her life in this dunya. I die a little.

Every time my baby is asleep in his bed, warm and comfortable I think of the mother who at this very moment is watching the body of her child, lifeless, covered in blood and dust. I die a little.

With each meal that I feed to him I remember the mother who said that her child died empty stomach, hungry and crying for food because she had nothing in her home to feed him. I die a little.

Each time he comes running to me and hugs me I think of the mother in Gaza who will never ever know the warmth of this embrace again in this world. I die a little.

To all the mothers in Gaza,
I think of you. Every minute of every day, every night, in every moment I spend with my child and in every prayer.

I think of you.

I see your children in my child, I feel your pain as if it was my own. I know they haven't just taken away your children they took pieces of your heart. And it will never be the same again.

But take comfort in this absolute certainty that this world is impermanent and so are it's tests and trials. You were the chosen ones. Allah chose you for this. Because he wanted to honour you with the best.Take pleasure in thought of reuniting with your dearest ones in a much better place, an abode that knows no sorrows, separation or grief. Where only the blessed will recline. And you are those blessed ones.

You have given the whole ummah an imagery of what people with highest level of Iman and taqwah look like. How the people of jannah look like. We think of you as epitomes of perseverance and patience.
Every minute I pray that Allah grants you sabran jameela, the beautiful patience to bear the losses. May Allah grant you victory against the oppressors and terrorists. And I hope and pray when all of this will end you will be able to find kindness and joy around you again. I pray that little flowers will bloom in the streets of Gaza again. insha'Allah and Ameen!!

TRIGGER WARNING!

The team behind the television show Hadsa
has recently found itself at the centre of a storm as internet users criticised its portrayal of a sensitive topic. The series has faced backlash after journalist Fereeha Idrees took to X to share a rather distressing conversation with Z - the motorway incident survivor on whose horrifying tragedy the show is allegedly based.

The journalist shared, "I was a bit taken aback seeing her call; so much had happened since then, but the culprits were still not given punishment despite her appearances alone in compensate coverings. All the while, as she fought her case looking for the justice she deserved, her main concern was moving on, taking culprits to the gallows, and keeping her identity protected."

Fereeha tried to make conversation with a silent Z when suddenly, she heard "loud noises of moans and painful shrieks." Speaking between tears, Z asked if someone could make a show on the unfortunate incident. "They have made a drama on my life as if I am nothing," told the survivor to Fereeha. "No one asked me, it’s the same, they are showing the same things, oh my God! Why didn’t I die before reliving this again?"

The controversy surrounding the approval of controversial bills reached new heights on Tuesday after a purported conversation surfaced, in which President Arif Alvi admitted to facing pressure from his party, sources revealed.

The conversation, said to be between President Alvi and Secretary Waqar Ahmed, took place prior to the president's tweet in which he had not signed the Official Secrets Act and Army Act amendments.

Alvi's tweet had unleashed a wave of shock within the corridors of power after he accused his own staff of insubordination and undermining his authority, resulting in the removal of Secretary Waqar Ahmed from his post.

However, sources on Tuesday said that in a conversation President Alvi privately confessed to his secretary that he was well aware that the latter had no involvement in the bill approval process, but he was facing immense pressure from his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
