Aren't you imprisoned somewhere?

 

Aren't you imprisoned somewhere?

We often want to write something but can't. We have many words but we are sometimes afraid to write those words. We don't want anyone to read those words. We always want to keep them hidden in some corner of our heart. It seems that those few words are the story of our life. Those are the words we always hold captive. Then it makes sense.

How long Let someone be imprisoned who we want to take with us from this world, then one day they suddenly become free from our language. As soon as they are free, they turn to the man for whom they are words. For a moment, our eyes begin to close. And when they open, we know. Until yesterday, only words were imprisoned. Today, along with words, the soul is also imprisoned.

We surrender ourselves to someone and that person imprisons us like these words. It is more a prison of heart and soul than a prison of words. The words we received as human protectors. Then we see the changing form of this man, the man whom we consider to be the sky, then he leaves us alone in the distant clouds. What we consider our land leaves us on a distant island.

And from there our real imprisonment begins. Then we see the form of the Son of Man that we were free to be afraid to see in a dream. Today he is imprisoned and seeing in reality. We cry and suffer, but we forget that our hearts and souls as well as our voices were imprisoned. It doesn't matter what we call it. The voices of the prisoners hit the walls and come back.

In fact, those walls are the walls of the heart. They call out the walls of the heart. We can't stand it, but who cares? Only the one who is close to the heart can hear the sound of the heart. Now how can he who is imprisoned in the prison of mockery of heart hear the cry of our heart?

Then we realize. We did not release those words at the right time. We are paying the price for not releasing them at the right time.  We? Who will free us from this imprisonment?

? Imprisoned in these walls, we begin to find a way. I have heard that there is a way to free every prisoner. Then why we are not shown that way but witness we are in this prison from which there is no way out. Then a voice is heard from very close in this prison. We think it is midnight. At this time all the people are sleeping. Is there any other prisoner? As soon as they hear that voice in this prison, tears start flowing. It is known to do.

This is the sound of Azan. As far as I know, there is no azan at this time of night. There is a prayer. This is the azan of tahajjud. Is tahajjud also azan? A voice comes from the heart. This azan is the call of Allah. They are calling me Allah. Or Allah has heard, then He accepts every prayer of His servant, then set me free. My heart is captive My soul is imprisoned. Another sound comes out of the walls of my heart.  You were free when your tears flowed when you heard the call to prayer from your heart.I am free and yes, you are not imprisoned either

 

What is NFT? Why are Shoaib Akhtar and Wasim Akram selling their 'valuable' digital assets?

 What is NFT? Why are Shoaib Akhtar and Wasim Akram selling their 'valuable' digital assets?

What is the most memorable moment in the history of Pakistani cricket for you? Shoaib Akhtar's two consecutive yorkers Indian batsmen Dravid and Tendulkar's wickets flying, Afridi's Ashwin in the Asia Cup two winners six or Misbah's push ups after a century in Lord's.

In the world of technology, it now seems possible for cricket fans to save such memorable moments in the form of digital art for life and make money through them.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has announced that he is going to introduce 'World's First Cricket NFT Market' and his NFTs will be auctioned soon. This means that the person who buys this NFT will be considered the original owner of online content such as 'original' photos or videos.

In his video on Twitter, Rawalpindi Express said, "I am coming to the world of corruption and blockchain. I could have launched from anywhere but Pakistan is my pride.

Shoaib Akhtar's announcement comes at a time when Wasim Akram, one of Pakistan's best cricketers, has been auctioning off his NFTs since June 24.

 

But you may also be wondering why former Pakistan cricketers suddenly became interested in blockchain technology and corrupt currency.

In fact, behind them are companies like Tamp and Binance who want to introduce digital art and online content buying and selling in NFT through cricket fans in Pakistan as well.

Not limited to this, but like Shoaib Akhtar and Wasim Akram, some of the leading players in various sports around the world are auctioning off their digital assets to make money.

But what is NFT after all and why do some NFTs cost millions of dollars?

NFT refers to non-flammable tokens. It is a special type of digital certificate that testifies to who is the real owner of a photo, video or other type of online content.

In the language of economics, fungible assets are anything that can be exchanged instantly, such as money. If someone gives you a Rs 100 note, you can exchange it for two Rs 50 notes.

NFT is the 'only' asset of its kind in the digital world that can be bought and sold like any other asset. But this material is available online, not in any solid form in our hands.

What is its legal status in Pakistan?

An investor in a Pakistani art tech company told the BBC on condition of anonymity that Pakistani cricketers could easily auction off their photos, videos and artworks or tokenize them by dividing their rights into sections. can.

He believes that NFT, like cryptocurrency, has never been outlawed in Pakistan and that the sector is in the gray area because it has not yet been legislated.

He said that government ministers and institutions are serious about legislating on this and progress has been made in the form of meetings in this regard.

By now, the police had reached him before he had succeeded.

"The accused was constantly changing his location to avoid arrest and tried to take refuge in different cities but was unsuccessful." Earlier, police said that the accused along with one of his sons was arrested from Mianwali.

SSP CIA Shoaib Khurram said that Moallem Mufti of Manzoor-ul-Islamia Madrassa in Lahore had tried to seek refuge with his students and relatives in different cities but he had refused to give shelter to the accused.

He said that the accused confessed to the police during the preliminary investigation that he had raped the student whose video was made.

He was aware that the student had the video and his sons threatened the student and asked him not to release the video. However, after the video surfaced on social media, he "fled the madrassa for fear of being defamed."

The accused Mufti belongs to Lakki Marwat area of ​​Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while the student who accused him of rape belongs to Swat area of ​​Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

World Test Championship Final India v New Zealand: New Zealand heavyweight at the end of the third day

 World Test Championship Final India v New Zealand: New Zealand heavyweight at the end of the third day

Losing several wickets in a row for a few runs has become a feature of Test cricket. Experts attribute this to T20 cricket and this tradition is becoming common in all teams.

This is what happened on the morning of the third day of the World Test Championship final against New Zealand with the Indian batsmen.

The match in Southampton has been affected by rain and poor lighting. The first day's play was completely canceled due to rain, while the second day's bad light interrupted the game from time to time.

However, after the openers were out, Chattiswar Pujara was able to resist for a while and at the end of the second day's play, India had scored 146 runs for the loss of three wickets.

A half-century partnership had been formed between captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane and it looked as if India would now put pressure on New Zealand by making a big total.

However, when the third day's play began the next day, the New Zealand bowlers did not give the Indian batsmen much time. The entire Indian team returned to the pavilion with just 217 runs and lost their last seven wickets for just 68 runs.

Kyle Jamieson of USA bowled brilliantly, taking five wickets and taking the important wickets of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. In addition, Neil Wagner and Trent Bolt took two wickets each.

The start of the innings by the New Zealand openers was similar to that of India. Devon Conway and Tom Latham put on a 70-run stand, which did not give India a chance to put pressure on the Kiwi batsmen from the start.

Latham Ravi was bowled out for 30 off Eshwan's ball, while his teammate Ishant Sharma fell victim after scoring a half-century. Conway started his Test career against England this month with a double century.

When the second day ended due to poor lighting, the New Zealand team had scored 101 runs for the loss of two wickets. Veteran batsmen Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor are currently on the crease, but both are new to the crease.

Two spinners in the Indian team, mixed reactions on social media

There is a lot of discussion on social media about this match at the moment and people are seen criticizing the slowness of this match and praising the beauty of Test match cricket.

If you look at the bowling card, all the bowlers except Colin de Grandhomme took wickets and justified the decision to include New Zealand in the five-seamers team.

However, it remains to be seen during tomorrow's game whether Ashwin and Jadeja India will be able to perform better.

Recognize Iran's threat to the world: Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett

 Recognize Iran's threat to the world: Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called on the United States and its allies to "wake up" to the threat posed by Iran. He made the remarks at a time when talks are under way to re-implement the nuclear deal with Iran.

Newly-elected Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has said that Iran's "government of assassins" wants to build a nuclear weapon, while Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Diplomats say progress is being made on re-implementing the nuclear deal with Iran, but some issues remain to be agreed. Remember that under President Trump, the United States withdrew from this agreement.

Israel has always opposed the agreement. Earlier, a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry said that the international community should be deeply concerned about the election of new Iranian President Ibrahim Raeisi.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lear Hayat said Ibrahim Raisi was Iran's most radical president ever. He warned that the new leaders would promote Iran's nuclear activities.

On Saturday, Ibrahim Raisi was declared the winner of Iran's presidential election, saying the race was designed to give him the upper hand.

A nuclear deal was struck between Iran and the West in 2015, after which tough sanctions on Iran were lifted. However, former US President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the deal in 2018, saying Iran was deliberately violating the agreement and once again imposed economic sanctions on Iran.

The administration of new US President Joe Biden is now looking for a way to rejoin the agreement.

Iran also stepped up its nuclear program after sanctions were tightened. Iran is currently enriching uranium at the highest level. However, Iran has not yet acquired the capability to build a nuclear bomb.

Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but Israel believes Iran's nuclear program is not entirely for peaceful purposes and is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

The situation between the two countries is extremely complex, but a major source of tension is Iran's nuclear program.

Iran blames Israel for killing its nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizada and attacking its uranium enrichment plant in April.

Negotiations to save Iran's nuclear deal are under way in Vienna on the day Raisi became Iran's president.

North Korea-US relations: "North Korea must be prepared for both dialogue and confrontation with the United States"

 North Korea-US relations: "North Korea must be prepared for both dialogue and confrontation with the United States"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said his country must be prepared for both "negotiations and confrontations" with the United States, and in particular "full readiness for confrontation."

North Korea had earlier rejected efforts by new US President Joe Biden's administration to establish diplomatic ties.

This is the first time that Kim Jong Un has directly commented on the Biden administration.

Kim Jong Un was holding talks with his country's senior leaders in the capital, Pyongyang.

Meetings of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party of North Korea have begun this week, during which President Kim Jong Un has acknowledged that North Korea is facing food shortages.

According to North Korea's state news agency, leader Kim Jong Un said, "We must be especially prepared to defend the dignity of our state and protect our interests. Take the country on the path of development, maintain a peaceful environment and ensure the security of North Korea.

He added that North Korea would respond "immediately" to any aggression aimed at gaining control of the Korean Peninsula.

Tensions remain high over Kim Jong Un's relationship with the new US president.

Before the election, Joe Biden called Kim Jong Un a "thug" and just days before Joe Biden's swearing-in ceremony, North Korea demonstrated its military prowess in a military parade in which he introduced a new missile. Had done

In April, Biden called North Korea a "serious threat" to global security, to which North Korea reacted sharply, saying the US president's statement made it clear that he was against the US. "We want to continue the policy of aggression."

The United States has recently reconsidered its policy against North Korea, saying it wants to completely rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.

Biden has vowed that his stance on North Korea will be based on diplomacy and "strict deterrence" measures.

Kim Jong Un has met with former US President Donald Trump on three occasions, but no progress has been made on North Korea's nuclear disarmament.

Leif Eric Asley, an associate professor at the University of Iowa Women's University in Seoul, says the Biden administration has said the ball is now in North Korea's court, but Kim Jong-un's own government is showing great restraint.

"They are focusing on local issues and want to see more encouraging statements from the United States. North Korea is likely to return to the negotiating table only if it can improve the country's post-epidemic economic situation.

Iran's presidential election 2021: How does Iran's unique political system work and which institution has how many powers?

Iranian citizens are taking part in the country's presidential election today. Incumbent President Hassan Rouhani has four candidates running to succeed him, three of whom are said to be "hardliners".

According to opinion polls, the current head of the judiciary and conservative Shiite leader Ibrahim Raisi has a good chance of victory. According to these polls, former governor of Iran's central bank and moderate leader Abdul Nasser Hemati is his biggest rival.

Some critics of Iran's political system and reformists have announced a boycott of the election. He says the ban on several candidates running for the presidency has paved the way for Ibrahim Raisi to win.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cast his ballot on Friday morning, urging people to do the same. "Every vote has its status ..." he said. Come, vote and elect your president. This is very important for the future of our country. "

Trade sanctions were imposed on Iran three years ago after the United States suspended the nuclear deal, causing economic hardship to its citizens.

Moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani cannot run for president again because he has twice been elected president for a four-year term, and a single person is barred from running for a third consecutive term.

We will tell you later who are the presidential candidates in Iran, but first it is more important for you to know how different the political system of Iran is from the political systems of other countries and how it works.

Iran's political system and who has how much power?

Iran's political system is complex for some and unusual for others. It combines modern religious style of government with democracy in a unique way.

In Iran, the president and parliament are elected by the people, but there is also a network of unelected institutions headed by the Supreme Leader.

The most powerful position in Iran's political system is that of Supreme Leader and only two people have been able to hold this position to date.

The post was first held by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and was succeeded by the current Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

After the overthrow of the Iranian ruler Reza Shah Pahlavi, Khomeini made this position the most important position in the Iranian political structure.

The Supreme Leader is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Defense Forces and oversees security in the country. He appoints the head of the judiciary, half the members of the influential Guardian Council, the imam of Friday prayers and the heads of state TV and radio networks.

The Supreme Leader also controls billions of dollars in charities that contribute to the Iranian economy.

After KhIn Iran, a president is elected for a four-year term, and no one can become president for a third consecutive term.

The constitution makes it the second largest in the country. The Iranian president is the head of the executive. It is the responsibility of the President to ensure the implementation of the Constitution in the country.

The president has influence over local policy and foreign affairs, but the decision of the supreme leader on all state affairs is final.

This month, Iranians will elect a successor to current President Hassan Rouhani. Rouhani has won the last two presidential elections by a large margin. He won more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round, which did not require any further contest.omeini's death in 1989, Ali Khamenei became the Supreme Leader. In the recent past, they have consolidated their position and power and suppressed the challenges facing this system of governance.

Watergate scandal: the incident that overthrew US President Nixon

Watergate scandal: the incident that overthrew US President Nixon

49 years ago today, on June 13, 1972, when five people broke into a building in the US capital for a robbery, no one could have imagined that this seemingly small incident of theft was so significant in US political history. It will have a profound effect on the country's president, who will have to resign.

The building in Washington was called the Watergate, which housed some offices as well as a hotel.

The incident not only exposed a vast network of politically motivated espionage, infiltration of opponents into the election campaign and bribery, but also set a new record in the field of investigative journalism.

Yes, we are talking about the 'Watergate Scandal' which led to the downfall of President Richard Nixon and thus he became the only President in the history of the United States who had to leave the White House during his presidency.

Watergate is not just the name of the June 17 incident, it is a series of political maneuvers that took place between 1972 and 1974 in the rooms and corridors of the country's major offices.

The five men arrested on June 17 had a mission to install secret devices in the office of the Democratic National Committee, a subsidiary of President Nixon's opposition Democratic Party.

When apprehended, the men turned the Democratic Party's secret documents upside down and installed secret devices in the office of President Nixon's political opponents to tap into the conversation. The Washington Post's secret investigation later revealed that the five men were actually working for President Nixon.

An investigation into the case later revealed that the five men arrested were involved in a plot to assassinate President Richard Nixon, a member of a group called the Committee to React the President. Was working

More than 40 people, including the five men who broke into the Democratic Party's election office and two of their associates, were found guilty of various crimes in January 1973. It was at this point that the trial judge John Serica and many others who attended the trial raised suspicions that the fabric of the scandal was linked to some of America's most powerful men, including key figures in the Richard Nixon administration May join.

And then when one of the five people involved in the robbery wrote to John Serica that several powerful people were trying to cover up the matter, Watergate became a huge political scandal.

Rumors of this scandal have spread far and wide and now in any country of the world, whenever a case of political manipulation or government corruption is exposed, the suffix 'gate' is attached to it.

The budget presented by the Federal Government of Pakistan for the financial year 2021-22 has taken steps under certain conditions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) but on the other hand some such measures have been included under these conditions. Not even what is needed to continue the IMF program in the future?

The budget deficit presented by the government of Pakistan is estimated at Rs 3,420 billion, which the government has to meet by issuing loans, grants and bonds in international markets from international financial institutions and foreign countries.

According to experts monitoring the country's economy, in order to stay in the IMF program, its conditions must be met and Pakistan can get concessions from the IMF in this regard, but it depends on the region and the international situation. Also depends.

According to experts, while international financial institutions have an apparent financial aspect, they also have a secret political agenda that is interconnected.

What were the EMF terms?

When the IMF reviewed its 6 billion programs with Pakistan in February this year, it called on Pakistan to take some steps in the new fiscal year budget to continue the program.

Economist Dr Farrukh Saleem said the IMF had called for four steps in its February review.

Under the first condition, Pakistan has to collect additional taxes of Rs 1,200 billion in the next financial year. The second condition was to deposit Rs 900 billion more in the power sector, that is, to increase the electricity tariff by about Rs 6 per unit.

 Dr. Ikram-ul-Haq said that in general, the IMF program is rarely discounted, but in the past have been.

He said that Pakistan could also get a concession in case of non-compliance with the conditions and the program could continue but it could be determined by regional and global conditions.

He said that the situation in Afghanistan and the US need for Pakistan there could also help us in this regard as the US has immense influence in these international organizations.

Dr. Ikram said that one of the important developments in getting any concession is the FATF meeting to be held in the month of June.e to the country on the basis of the IMF program.
