Celebrations

Zakat is the best medium that Islam has given to us which solves many social problems. It helps the equal distribution of wealth in a society. It cleans your wealth and softens your heart, it makes you think about others before yourself. It also lessens the poverty rate in a country. Many people don't like this system because according to them they have earned money, so they won't give a penny to needy people although they live in the same homeland.

When a child is born in a Muslim society whether it's a boy or a girl, his/her birthday will be celebrated depending upon the financial conditions of his parents. They will usually distribute food or clothes among the needy and give money to Mosques for needy people and say prayers as they are very thankful to Allah Almighty that they were blessed with a child.

As in Islam, all human beings are equal. The old conservative concept of women being inferior to men vanished by the preachings of Islam when our Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) came.

Holy Quran tells a lot of facts like Earth is stationary, Day and Night are formed by the rotation of the sun and moon according to their cycle, every planet is moving in its orbit and there are many other facts that science is proving now. These facts were already described in the Holy Quran thousands of years ago.

Jasmine was looking toward her mom with puppy eyes, her father was also supporting her so he sat beside her. Jasmine's mother was still angry and don't wanna forgive her daughter.

After 5 minutes she agreed with some conditions like Jasmine having to do house chores for a month. Jasmine agreed quickly because she can't go empty-handed on her friend's birthday.

...........On the other hand...........

In a villa built in a high society residential area, Ali was standing in front of his father looking down at the carpet. 

"How was the cricket match today!??" Father Mir Rehman Shah asked.

"It was good", Ali replied politely.

"I heard that your uncle's son came first in this match."

"Yeah, we got second place."

His father threw the magazine that he was reading on the table.

"Remember one thing carefully and don't make me repeat it again and again, people don't remember the person who came second, they always remember the one who comes first."

Ali nodded as if it was a daily routine for him and was leaving.

His father shouts at his back" where are you going!? Tell me why did you come second?"

"One fellow got injured so we have to ask another class fellow to join", Ali was sometimes scared of his father.

"So what!???"

"He didn't know very well about cricket."

"Where was the extra team member!??"

" His mother was ill so he was on leave."

"Don't make a team that is useless and loses. Do you know how your uncle was proudly telling me about you losing to his son?"

"I won't let you off easily next time but your pocket money for this month is going to be half. Understand!???"

"Yes father, thank you," Ali went to his room with heavy feet.
