By Abdul Rehman Patel In many cities across the world, a familiar rhythm is beginning to gather pace. Streets grow busier, homes are scrubbed clean, and markets swell with the quiet urgency that precedes a festival. Children argue over colors and fabrics, determined that this year’s clothes must be just right. Mothers, with practised care, assemble the small rituals that turn a day into Eid — lists of dishes, trays of sweets, the careful distribution of time and attention. What emerges is not simply preparation, but a shared choreography of anticipation, repeated year after year with subtle variations and enduring…

By Amjad Qaimkhani WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has expressed frustration with allies over their lack of support in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, issuing both veiled jabs and direct threats to nations he believes have not contributed enough to the maritime security effort. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump criticized NATO allies for not reciprocating America’s decades of defense spending, while specifically expressing disappointment with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for announcing deployment of warships only after the conflict was effectively won. “I want to visit China but will have to remain in the United States,” Trump stated,…

News Desk TEHRAN: Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani, said Tehran is standing firm against the United States and Israel, and posed a pointed question to Muslim nations: which side are you on? According to Arab media reports, Larijani sent a strong message to Muslim countries, emphasizing that Iran is resolutely defending itself and its interests. He expressed disappointment that some Muslim-majority countries did not support Iran when it faced attacks, and noted that some even labeled Iran as an adversary simply because it targeted US bases and Israeli interests on their soil. Larijani made it clear that Iran cannot be…

By Wadood Mehsud SOUTH WAZIRISTAN: Tribal elders in Upper South Waziristan have called for an immediate stop to illegal tree cutting in the Mardaar Algad (Halaal Algad) area. The demand was made during a press conference at the Mehsud Press Club, where Advocate Ehsanullah Mehsud raised concerns over ongoing deforestation. He said that reports from the Forest Department confirm that the felled trees belong to community forests and that illegal cutting continues despite official acknowledgment. According to the report, the Asman Manza Brigade personnel are carrying out the tree felling citing security concerns, but no clear response has been provided…

In the escalating confrontation with America and Israel, Tehran appears to understand something its adversaries have yet to fully grasp: this is not a conventional war of attrition, but a conflict being fought across multiple dimensions, where political will and national cohesion may ultimately prove more decisive than advanced weaponry. While the United States and Israel find themselves entangled in a two-front predicament – simultaneously engaged with Iran while facing intense domestic pressure from opposition movements and war-weary populations demanding an end to hostilities – the Islamic Republic confronts no such existential crisis at home. One compelling explanation for this…

By Atiq Raja Every magnificent building begins not with bricks or beams, but with an idea. Before a single nail is driven, before scaffolding climbs into the sky, an architect imagines the structure’s shape, its purpose, and the life it will hold within its walls. They sketch, revise, and calculate, turning abstract thought into a tangible blueprint. Life, it turns out, works much the same way. Each of us is the architect of our own existence, whether we realize it or not. Every belief, every decision, every small action becomes a brick, a beam, a window in the edifice of…

By Dr. Mehmood Alam Aasi Khurram Jahangiri In the year 1360 AH, a remarkable life began in the serene gardens of Gulshan-e-Mujtaba, the estate of Nawab Hassan Ali Shah of Hasswah Fatehpur. That life was that of Hazrat Syed Muhammad Murtaza Hassan Ali Shah Abululai Jahangiri, whose spiritual presence would one day span continents, from India to Sindh, and touch hearts across Arab lands. Born into a distinguished family, he was the son of Nawab Syed Mujtaba Hassan and Syeda Shams-un-Nisa, and the grandson of Nawab Syed Atta Hassan. Among his siblings, he had two elder brothers, Syed Ishtiaq Hassan…

By Khpalwak Mohmand At Torkham Zero Point, where the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan meet in tense silence, an unshrouded body has become a stark mirror reflecting the failures of state systems, social values, and human compassion. The death of Dawood, a young man from the Musa Khel area of Mohmand district, is not merely a tragic incident. It is a disturbing testament to what can happen when bureaucracy, identity, and tradition collide in the most unforgiving of ways. Dawood had spent much of his life in Taxila, engaged in the modest poultry business, living quietly yet precariously in a…
