By Syeda Sonia Munawar There is a particular quality to the light on the morning of Eid-ul-Fitr. It is not that the sun shines any differently, of course, but that it falls upon a world that has, for a fleeting moment, agreed to pause. After a month of dawn-to-dusk fasting, of prayer and reflection and the deliberate cultivation of patience, Muslims across the globe rise before that sun to prepare for a day unlike any other. They bathe, they dress in their finest clothes, they make their way to mosques and open grounds, and they gather as a community to…

Mujeeb Rahman QambraniK MAHER: Jamaat-e-Islami Mehar organised an Iftar party to honour local residents, attracting a large gathering of citizens, political figures, and party leaders. Speaking at the event, Imdadullah Bajarani highlighted the values of sacrifice and selflessness during Ramadan, urging the community to support the poor and needy. Bajarani also criticised the Pakistan Peoples Party, saying that despite 17 years in power, the provincial government had failed to establish a single model Union Council in Sindh to demonstrate effective governance. Other speakers at the gathering included Muhammad Moosa Babar, Maulana Mir Murtaza Bhutto, Imtiaz Ali Chandio, and Zeeshan Imdad…

Let there be no mistake: Iran is not merely a country; it is a civilization, an ancient tradition where martyrdom is an aspiration, not an accident. America’s belligerence towards Iran is not without precedent. Russia, once attempted a similar gambit in Afghanistan. In the Afghan war, Russia was shattered, its ego scattered to the winds along with its military might. Now, it may well be America’s turn to face such a fate. The manner in which the US is currently throwing its weight around the globe, drunk on its own dominance, suggests a similarly catastrophic denouement. The historical echo is…

By Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal There are moments when imagination becomes an act of devotion, when the heart travels across centuries and finds itself resting upon the sacred soil of Madinah. In such moments, I do not see myself as a traveler, a scholar or a writer. I imagine myself as something far humbler—an unnoticed particle of dust lying quietly upon the blessed path where the beloved Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), once walked. If I were that dust, I would not possess a voice, yet my silence would carry a story greater…

By Atiq Raja Success is often imagined as a dramatic moment — a sudden breakthrough that transforms an ordinary life into an extraordinary one. In popular culture, triumph is frequently depicted as the result of brilliance, luck, or a single decisive event. Yet real life tells a quieter and more patient story. For most people, meaningful success is rarely born from one defining moment. Instead, it grows slowly, shaped by small actions repeated day after day with persistence and care. Behind nearly every significant achievement lies a pattern of quiet discipline. The individuals we admire for their accomplishments did not…

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…
