Prophet (pbuh) saying, ''Souls are like recruited troops;
those who are of like qualities are inclined to each other,
but those who have dissimilar qualities differ.''

Pakistani move
Imran Khan government has placed a ban on Hafiz Saeed and on
his charitable organization although he had pledged not to
move without evidence. Looks like an attempt to please
India.
US Air Force Comes up Against a force which cannot be defeated:
The Faith of Islamic women.
One of the wonders of modern media is that the most powerful
air force in the world, that of USA, can bomb civilian
populations at will and produce no negative reactions in
America and Europe. In the Muslim world too there is silence
owing to systematic campaigns of vilification of ISIS by
Russia, Iran and India
Entire Islamic cities were wiped out by the US and Iran in
Iraq and by Russia and Iran around Aleppo and around
Damascus. Agsin no serious condemnation from any
government.
However on the eastern banks of the southern Euphrates in
Syria, it has been different. The towns in this area are
small and quite bdefenseless against air attacks. Even
ordinary journalists could see that entire populations here
support the Caliphate led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi even
though they were not fighters. They were ordinary
citizens.
Some of the new reporting indicates the attitudes of
civilians being bombed by USA:
Here is some of the conversation picked up by Sky News on
February 24: near the town of Bughuz
:
[However, there were many people on this windswept stretch
who are devoted to IS. It may have lost the vast majority of
its territory, but its fanatical ideology has not
weakened.
As we filmed, we were scorned as intruders and infidels.
"Your face is like a shoe," said one women, firing the worst
insult she could think of at me.
Another said I would never understand.
"Thanks be to God, [Islamic State] has laws that are God's
laws, they only have God's law and when they help people
it's for free. It was the perfect life of dignity and
grace."]
Arab News, Reuters and AP also report defiant statements by
the refugees bombed out of their homes by the US air
force"
"...Many vehemently defended ISIS, arguing the group was
down --but not out -- and aid they only left because of an
order from the remaining leader in the area."
"some referred to to the Wali, the provincial leader, while
others said the order was from the group's top leader, Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi."
"Baghouz may be the most difficult moments of all my life,'
said 21 year old Um Youssef, a Tunisian-French woman who
came to Syria at 17 with her mother. She sent her mother and
two children out of Baghouz and stayed with her husband. She
said she had no regrets and was at "peace,' describing the
last few weeks as "the best" since she moved to Syria
because they taught her life lessons. .]
["We weren't going to leave, but the Caliph said women
should leave," said Um Abdul Aziz, a 33 year old Syrian
mother of five... She was referring to ISIS leader. Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi. Her husband stayed behind to fight.]
The role of the US air force comes out in this quote from an
Iraqi mother; "Many families died from air strikes. Many
kids died from hunger."
The final quote is from a 14-year old Syrian girl who
refused to give her name: "ISIS is over? Says so. Wherever
you go, there is ISIS."
The term in Arabic for ISIS is Daesh as used in these
quotes.
PAKISTAN
Indian Army in Kashmir: Biggest Occupation force in the
World.
Jamaate Islami wants Peaceful Means to liberate Kashmir
by Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Feb.23; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq has strongly condemned the large scale arrests
of the JI leadership in occupied Kashmir and has called upon
the world community and the Amnesty International to check
gross human rights violations by India and the unlawful
detentions of the Kashmiri leaders.
In a statement here, he said that the Kashmiris were the
target of Indian state terrorism. Eight hundred thousand
Indian troops in Held Kashmir were perpetrating all types of
inhuman activities and continuing the massacre of the
Kashmiris in order to crush their freedom movement. The
Huriat leadership had been detained and put into torture
cells to force them to give up their demand for liberation,
he added. He said the Indian troops were violating the
sanctity of the house hold and trespassing the houses of the
Kashmiris and torturing the women and children there.
Sirajul Haq said that the Kashmiris did not want to live
with India and had been continuing their liberation movement
for the last three decades. They were making the sacrifices
of life, honour and property for their just cause.
He said that India wanted to link the Kashsmiris liberation
movement with terrorism although this was purely liberation
movement of the Kashmiris. He said that New Delhi had always
been leveling false allegations against Pakistan in
connection with the events in India without any basis.
Sirajul Haq also called upon the Pakistan government to
convene an emergency meeting of the OIC and the Muslim
states should jointly pressurize the UN Security Council to
take immediate measures to stop the killings in Held
Kashmir.

News Within the U.S.
Nike stock market value plunges by $1.1bn after basketball
star Zion Williamson's shoe breaks
Nike has had $1.1bn knocked off its stock market value as
after what is being called one of the most expensive apparel
failures in history.
The company's value tumbled by 1.7 per cent on Thursday as
it was repeatedly blamed for a sprained knee to rising
basketball star Zion Williamson, seen by millions live on
TV.
Sports lovers across the US watched in horror as the
teenager was crocked when his Nike trainer tore apart
mid-shot during a high profile college match.
The freshman, who is in the draft for next season's NBA, had
to sit out the rest of the game between his university team
Duke Blue Devils and state rivals North Carolina Tar
Heels.
Barack Obama, who had gone to watch the match live, could be
seen in his court side seat apparently saying with
disbelief: "His shoe broke".
The former president later took to Twitter to wish
Williamson a "speedy recovery."
Nike's own rehabilitation was relatively rapid; the
sportswear company's shares had erased much of their losses
by Friday lunchtime as US stock markets rose on the back of
more positive economic news.
Mario Natarelli, managing partner at the MBLM brand agency
in New York told CBS News Williamson's injury was a "very
visible shoe structure failure for a company committed to
performance and technology of its products".
Analysts added the malfunction might hurt the firm's ability
to sign Williamson once he goes pro - a deal that would
potentially be worth millions.
In a statement, the company said: "We are obviously
concerned and want to wish Zion a speedy recovery. While
this is an isolated occurrence, we are working to identify
the issue."
Companies like Nike pay millions of dollars for the
exclusive right to kit out high-profile college teams like
Duke, meaning their athletes are required to wear uniforms
and trainers made by them.
Invitation to Think
China's Muslims
Betrayal of Islam & Muslims by the Leaders
by Dr. Firoz Kamal
While in Beijing, the visiting Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad
bin Salman announced his support for the Chinese policy of
suppression and oppression against the Uighur Muslims. Like
the Chinese government, he also blamed the Muslims as
terrorists and gave the Chinese government the rights to
crush them. The Chinese government has put about one million
Muslims in prison camps in the name of cultural education
which is nothing but a cultural engineering scheme for
de-Islamisation.
While in India, he supported killer Modi. He kept his usual
silence on Indian oppression against the Kashmiri Muslims.
Saudi Arabia invests more than 4O US billion in Indian
economy and invites more Hindus to Saudi Arabia. So, a devil
always supports another devil.
It is very sad and frustrating that Prime Imran Khan of
Pakistan also shows his intention to associate with the
tyrannical devils' club of the Middle East. He gave the
unprecedented welcome to this worst criminal of the Saudi
monarchy: The common Muslims are also withdrawn to chase
only their personal agenda. The situation looks very gloomy
for the Ummah.

*PROPHET*~ (Salallaahu 'Alaihi wa'Sallam) said...
The Believer is a Mirror for the Believer...{!} and
.....
the Believer is the Brother of the Believer {!}
He safeguards his property for him and defends him from
behind.
So the description of his being a 'Mirror' is very Precise
and Profound !
showing the culmination of Brotherhood and Solidarity.
So your brother O servant of Allaah... is an image of you
yourself {!}
So if he behaves badly it is as if
you are the one who has behaved badly {!} and...
if he makes a mistake... it is as if you have made a mistake
{!}
So he is a Mirror for you and then an Image of you yourself
{!}
So do not treat him except with mildness and gentleness
!
If you do not behave with your brother in this manner~
then this will be something which weakens {!}
