HOW IS ISLAM THE BEST OF ALL RELIGIONS? PART 2

CONCEPT OF MARRIAGES IN VARIOUS RELIGIONS AND ISLAM:
Many of us think that Islam is the only religion which allows a man to have more than one wives but it is not so. In fact Islam is the only religion which allows a man to have one wife if he cannot do justice, other religions have allowed men to marry as much women as they want without any terms and conditions. It is the law which have restricted men to one wife in certain countries like India (Indian Penal court in 1954 put a restriction and said under the Hindu Special Marriage Act that a Hindu man should marry only one woman). If you read Hindu scriptures (Mahabharat) you would come to know that Shri Krishn had 16,108 wives.
Quran says in Surah Al-Nisa Chapter 4, verse 3: "Marry women of your choice in twos threes or fours but if you cannot do justice marry only one." 
Now the question is why does Islam allow man to marry more than one woman. If we analyze scientifically; female children are stronger than male children. Having greater chances of resistance to diseases. Resulting in more women population. The second cause is; as life passes there are wars, accidents, drug addiction to which greater proportion of men is associated than women which also results in more number of women than men. 
If we want one man to marry only one woman what will happen? There will be many women left unmarried. There will be thousands of women who will not find life partner. The two choices left for them will be either marry a married man or become a public property. I wonder why our women are able to bear illegal and haraam relations of their men but not legal and halaal relations of their men with other women. Islam allows man to marry more than one woman to protect the modesty of the women. 

CHARITY:
How can we reduce inflation from a society? When the money rolls in the society. Society prospers when there are more givers than takers.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said that you will be more wealthy if you do charity. How is that possible? How can a person become wealthy by giving some share of his wealth to others? This thing cannot fit in minds of  you and I as we have a partial faith. We all know that we have zero potential in the field of  Tawakkul. If you give your money to a poor, what he is going to do with that? He will buy the things you manufacture with the money you gave him; He will benefit you with your money in both worlds. In this way a cycle starts which decreases the inflation rate.
Islam has the best plan for this act which is called Zakat. It is derived from arabic word "Zakah" which means to purify or to increase. In Islam Zakat is an obligatory charity which every Muslim who has a saving or surplus wealth which has reached the nisab level and stays with him one complete lunar year, he should give zakat. If every rich man in society gives 2.5% of his wealth to poor every lunar year, there will be very less ratio of poor left after couple of years. In this way Islam provides us with the best guide of charity.

YOUR LIFE MATTERS NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE!

LIVES ARE GIVEN AND TAKEN BY GOD, OUR AIM MUST BE TO LIVE IT NOT TO RULE IT... What is the thing which makes human so helpless that he even denies his own life? To me the most precious thing which I care about most is my breath, my life. If a person is capable to muster up such courage to give up on his own life, he must be depressed this much. Now what might be the reasons for depression. For me, the top most reason is that there are no listeners left in the society. In today's world, we might live in same house but we are separated by the walls of social media. We barely have family talks. Even if we contact our friends and relatives, we do it for our own "Transactional causes"_ you give I take, I give you take. Even I have experienced that many of my close friends and relatives do not call or message me until they have their own interest in doing so . What happens when there are no listeners? That listener might be a close friend to the depressed one. As a result, the ...

TO MY BELOVED DISTRACTED YOUTH

Why is our youth so desperate to jump into western lifestyles? In my opinion, the reason behind their this will is their  "Enslaved thoughts". We have been a colony to the west, used by them, not used but actually DRAINED out of our resources by them. The westerns have colonized us in different ways. This was not a one day process, they slow poisoned our minds. They colonized us and then provided different means of needs and attractions to us. They made us stand in a position where we could not even turn on a light without their assistance because this light too is their invention. The households, cars, aeroplanes, electronic devices and even medicines are all their inventions and without them we consider our survival impossible. So as we are controlled this way, we got slowly and gradually admired by them, started following them and at the end want to be like them. In this way they caged our minds. They made us disbelieve in our own selves. Dependency to me is more chroni...

THE PAKISTANI MEDIA

Media is the main mean of mass communication these days. A common man accesses the world before him through media. This world includes politics, education, economy and much more of a country as well as the international system. Starting from the Pakistani local dramas. How do they portray our culture? Obviously through the message they convey. No doubt, they address social issues like in the dramas " Udari, Ruswai, Damsa" and many more, which is really appreciable of them. At the same time they show our living dishonorably in some dramas. They dispatch the image of university and public offices bluntly. This affects the mindset of a common man in a way that he refuses to send his children, more specifically daughters, to such institutes which affects the country eventually. Most of our dramas show upper class which is not so in Pakistan because more than 40%  of our public is even below the poverty line. The language, the dressing and living are not represented as Pakistani ...
