🌟 “میرے پاکستانی بھائیو اور بہنو… آپ ’ڈیزرو‘ کرتے ہیں” — ریحان اللہ والا میرے پیارے پاکستانیوں، آج میں ایک ایسی بات کہنا چاہتا ہوں جو شاید آپ نے پوری زندگی میں کبھی کسی سے نہیں سنی: آپ ڈیزرو کرتے ہیں۔ آپ عزت کے حق دار ہیں۔ آپ محبت کے لائق ہیں۔ آپ کامیابی، خوشی اور آسانی کے مستحق ہیں۔ لیکن ہم میں سے بہت سے لوگ دل کے اندر چھپ کر ایک ہی جملہ دہراتے رہتے ہیں: “میں کس قابل ہوں؟” “میرے جیسا کیوں؟” “میں تو ڈیزرو ہی نہیں کرتا۔” یہ جملہ کمزوری نہیں — یہ صدیوں کا درد ہے۔ یہ مایوسی، حالات اور معاشرے کا بوجھ ہے۔ لیکن آج میں اس سوچ کو توڑنے آیا ہوں۔ ⸻ 🌙 حضرت علیؓ فرماتے ہیں: “انسان کی قیمت اس کی ہمت کے برابر ہوتی ہے۔” اگر آپ کی ہمت ہے محنت کی، اگر آپ کی ہمت ہے گھر چلانے کی، اگر آپ کی ہمت ہے بچوں کی قربانیوں کی، اگر آپ کی ہمت ہے مشکل وقت میں صبر کی— تو آپ کی قیمت عظیم ہے۔ آپ کم نہیں ہیں۔ آپ معمولی نہیں ہیں۔ آپ کمزور پیدا نہیں کیے گئے۔ آپ کی ہمت نے آپ کو قیمتی بنایا ہے۔ ⸻ 🌿 حضور پاک ﷺ نے فرمایا: “اپنے آپ کو ذلیل مت کرو.” (لا تحقرن نفسک) لیکن ہم اپنے آپ کو خود ہی نیچا دکھاتے رہتے ہیں۔ ہم سوچتے ہیں “میں کون ہوں؟” ہم کہتے ہیں “میرے نصیب میں کیا ہے؟” مگر سنت یہ ہے کہ: اپنی روح کو عزت دو۔ اپنی قدر پہچانو۔ اپنے آپ کو چھوٹا مت سمجھو۔ اگر اللہ نے آپ کو عزت دی ہے، تو دنیا میں کوئی قوت آپ سے وہ عزت نہیں چھین سکتی جب تک آپ خود اپنے آپ کو کم نہ سمجھیں۔ ⸻ 🔥 رومی کہتے ہیں: “تم سمجھتے ہو کہ تم مٹی ہو… لیکن تمہارے اندر نور کا سمندر چھپا ہے.” میرے پاکستانیوں… آپ مٹی نہیں۔ آپ صرف ایک شناختی کارڈ کا نمبر نہیں۔ آپ صرف ایک ووٹ نہیں۔ آپ ایک نور ہیں — اور آپ کے اندر عظیم قدر چھپی ہے۔ آپ چھوٹے تب بنتے ہیں جب آپ خود اپنے آپ کو چھوٹا سمجھ لیتے ہیں۔ ⸻ ❤️ یہ پیغام ہر اُس پاکستانی کے لیے ہے: • جو محسوس کرتا ہے کہ وہ کافی نہیں۔ • جو سمجھتا ہے وہ کامیابی کا حق دار نہیں۔ • جو ہمیشہ “معافی” مانگتا ہے کیونکہ اسے اپنی قدر کم لگتی ہے۔ • جو اپنے خوابوں کو روک لیتا ہے کہ “شاید میں اس کے لائق نہیں۔” • جو محبت ملنے پر بھی شرمندہ ہوتا ہے۔ میں آج آپ سب کو ایک ہی بات کہنا چاہتا ہوں: آپ ڈیزرو کرتے ہیں۔ آپ ڈیزرو کرتے ہیں۔ آپ ڈیزرو کرتے ہیں۔ اور جب زندگی کوئی اچھی چیز آپ کو دے— تو شرمندہ مت ہونا… شکر کے ساتھ قبول کرنا۔ کیونکہ اللہ نے آپ کو عزت دی ہے۔ ⸻ 🌟 آج سے ایک نیا عہد کریں: • میں خود کو کم نہیں سمجھوں گا۔ • میں اپنی قدر خود بناؤں گا۔ • میں محبت، عزت، کامیابی اور برکت کا حق دار ہوں۔ • میرے لیے بھی دنیا میں بہترین چیزیں ہیں۔ • جو خیر ملے گی، میں اسے قبول کروں گا— کیونکہ میں اس کے لائق ہوں۔ ⸻ پاکستانیو… یاد رکھو: آپ قیمتی ہیں۔ آپ روشن ہیں۔ آپ لائق ہیں۔ آپ ڈیزرو کرتے ہیں۔ کبھی اپنے آپ کو اس سے کم نہ سمجھو۔ — ریحان اللہ والا

🌟 “Pakistanio… Aap Deserve Karte Hain.” — By Rehan Allahwala Mere pyare Pakistani bhaiyo aur behno, Aaj main aik aisi baat kehna chahta hoon jo shayad aap ne poori zindagi mein kisi se nahi suni: Aap deserve karte hain. Aap izzat ke haqdaar hain. Aap mohabbat ke laayak hain. Aap barkat ke mustahiq hain. Magar hum mein se bohot se log, be-shaumar log, andar hi andar ek lafz chhupa kar jeete hain: “Main kis cheez ka haqdaar hoon?” “Mere jaise ko kya milna hai?” “Main deserve hi nahi karta.” Yeh lafz sirf Pakistani masla nahi— yeh dard purani naslon ki khamoshi, society ka dabao, aur waqt ka bojh hota hai. Magar aaj main aap ko ek nayi kahani dene aaya hoon— aik nayi soch. ⸻ 🌙 Hazrat Ali (R.A.) ki awaaz aap se keh rahi hai: “Insaan ki qeemat uski himmat ke barabar hoti hai.” Agar aap ki himmat raaton ko jag kar mehnat karne mein hai… agar aap ki himmat ghar ko chalane mein hai… agar aap ki himmat sirf zinda rehne mein hai… to aap ki qeemat la-misaal hai. Aap kam nahi ho. Aap chhote nahi ho. Aap kamzor nahi ho. Aap ke iradon ne aap ko qeemati banaya hai. ⸻ 🌿 Rasool Allah ﷺ ne kaha: “Apne aap ko zillat mein mat daalo.” (Lā tahqiranna nafsak) Lekin hum kya karte hain? Hum apne aap ko hi neecha dekhte hain. Hum kehte hain “main kaun hoon?” Hum kehte hain “main layak nahi.” Magar Sunnat yeh kehti hai: Apni rooh ko izzat do. Apni qeemat pehchano. Apne aap ko chhota mat kaho. Agar Allah ne aap ko izzat di, to aap ko izzat qubool bhi karni chahiye. ⸻ 🔥 Rumi aaj aap se kehte: “Tum samajhte ho tum mitti ho… par tumhare andar noor ka samandar chhupa hai.” Main yeh alfaz puri qaum ko kehna chahta hoon: Pakistanio, aap mitti nahi. Aap sirf tax payers nahi. Aap sirf vote nahi. Aap noor ka samandar ho. Aap ki rooh bohot badi hai. Aap chhote tab bante ho jab aap apne aap ko chhota samajhte ho. ⸻ ❤️ **Main yeh post Ali ke liye nahi… Aap sab ke liye likh raha hoon.** Har woh kaamgar jo sochta hai ke woh layak nahi. Har woh maa jo haqeeqat chhupa kar sab sambhalti hai. Har woh student jo samajhta hai woh zyada nahi kar sakta. Har woh dost jo “sorry” zyada bolta hai aur “thank you” kam. Har woh bhai jo apni qeemat samajh hi nahi paata. Main aap sab se ek baat kehna chahta hoon: Aap deserve karte ho. Aap deserve karte ho. Aap deserve karte ho. Allah ne jo izzat aap ko di hai woh koi cheen nahi sakta jab tak aap khud apne aap ko kamzor na samjho. ⸻ 🌟 Aaj se aik naya qasad lein: • Main apne aap ko kam nahi samajhunga. • Main apni qeemat khud tay karunga. • Main izzat, pyaar, barkat aur kamyabi deserve karta hoon. • Main jo achha aaye ga, sharminda nahi hoonga— shukr ke saath qubool karoon ga. ⸻ Agar aap duniya ki best cheezon ke laayak hain to woh isliye nahi ke zindagi ne kuch diya— isliye ke Allah ne aap ko aisi rooh di jo la-misaal hai. Aap mere bhai ho. Aap meri behn ho. Aap hamari qaum ho. Aur main aap ko unhi aankhon se dekhna chahta hoon jin se main apne bhai Ali ko dekhta hoon: Qeemati. Roshan. La-misaal. Deserving. Pakistanio… Aap deserve karte ho. Kabhi is haq ko mat Choro. — Rehan Allahwala

BetaBlox — A New Kind of Accelerator Helping Founders Make Their First Million Every year thousands of early-stage entrepreneurs struggle with the same problem: How do I grow my idea into a real business without spending huge amounts of money upfront? Most accelerators charge fees, take equity, or require long commitments before they even help you. BetaBlox, a U.S.–based accelerator founded by Wes Bergmann in 2012, has flipped the entire model upside down. Instead of asking for money first, they prove their value before charging anything. They train, mentor, polish, and guide founders for months — and only when the founder succeeds and earns their first major income, they take just 2% of the next one million dollars. This model is smart, fair, and entrepreneur-friendly. ⸻ What Exactly Is BetaBlox? BetaBlox is one of America’s fastest-growing entrepreneurship training companies (ranked #377 in the USA). Their goal is simple: “We help early-stage entrepreneurs make their first million.” They do this through: • 🎓 Expert-led classes • 👩‍🏫 Monthly live workshops • 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ 1:1 mentor pairings • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 A community of 1,000+ alumni and investors • 🧠 An immersive in-person mastermind • 📈 Business strategy, funding insights, and growth tools They’ve been doing this since 2012, and their alumni have gone on to build multi-million-dollar businesses. ⸻ Why Their Model Works Most founders have two problems: 1️⃣ They can’t afford good mentors and training 2️⃣ They don’t know what they don’t know BetaBlox removes both problems by giving tremendous value upfront. If you grow and succeed, they only take 2% of your early success. If you don’t grow, you pay nothing. This aligns incentives perfectly: • You win → They win • You struggle → They support • You fail → They lose (not you) This makes BetaBlox very selective; they only pick people they believe they can help scale. ⸻ Who Should Apply? You should apply if: ✔️ You have a startup idea or early product ✔️ You are serious about building a real business ✔️ You want expert guidance but cannot pay large fees ✔️ You want to avoid giving equity away too early ✔️ You want step-by-step mentorship from people who have built real companies ✔️ You want to join a powerful network of founders and investors ✔️ You are committed to growing for the next 12–24 months This is NOT for people who just want to “try something.” It is for builders who want to scale, grow, and earn real revenue. ⸻ How to Apply (Simple Steps) BetaBlox made their process very easy: Step 1: Press the “Send Message” button on their Facebook ad. Step 2: Messenger will ask you a few basic questions. Step 3: They will send you to their website where you must write 1–3 sentences about your startup. Step 4: An analyst from their team will schedule a call to confirm your fit. That’s it — no long forms, no complicated process, no interviews lasting days. ⸻ Why This Matters for Pakistani Entrepreneurs Pakistan has thousands of young founders with amazing ideas — but no guidance, no mentorship, and no exposure to global markets. Organizations like BetaBlox: • Train founders • Teach them how business works in the real world • Connect them to investors • Help them earn their first serious income I believe models like this should exist inside Pakistan too — and through Rehan School, we are moving in the same direction: 1,000 leaders → 1,000 million-dollar businesses → 1 million lives improved each. ⸻ Final Thought If you are an entrepreneur — especially early-stage — and you want a serious, proven, and supportive accelerator that grows only if you grow, BetaBlox is worth looking into. Success loves structure. Structure comes from mentorship. Mentorship accelerates everything. If you feel you’re ready, apply. Your first million starts with one message.

Hello Lahore !

Monis Rahman — The Man Who Put Pakistan to Work When the history of Pakistan’s digital economy is written, one name will always appear in bold letters: Monis Rehman — the founder of Rozee.pk, the platform that helped millions of Pakistanis find jobs, build careers, and gain confidence in their future. His journey is not just a business story. It is a story of purpose, patriotism, and thinking big for Pakistan. ⸻ Early Life: A Child of Two Worlds Monis Rehman was born in Pakistan but raised between cultures. He spent his early years moving between Pakistan and the United States, absorbing two very different worlds. From Pakistan, he inherited passion, heart, and a desire to uplift people. From America, he absorbed technology, systems, and the hunger to solve big problems. He studied engineering and computer science in the U.S. and began his career in Silicon Valley — the place where dreams and code come together. But even at that time, his eyes were always on Pakistan. ⸻ A Misguided Moment That Became a Turning Point Like many young Pakistanis abroad, Monis wanted to do something meaningful for his homeland. When he returned to Pakistan in the early 2000s to build a tech startup, he faced a challenge: How do you find the right people to hire? There was no reliable online job portal in Pakistan. The process was slow, messy, inefficient, and unfair. That pain became the spark. ⸻ The Birth of Rozee.pk In 2007, Monis launched Rozee.pk, a simple job-posting platform. It began with a small team and a big vision: To use technology to connect talented Pakistanis with good employers. Within a few years, Rozee.pk became Pakistan’s largest online job marketplace. It changed lives: • Millions of people found employment • Hundreds of thousands of companies hired talent • Recruiters finally had a modern system • Job seekers had dignity and opportunity Monis proved that you don’t have to leave Pakistan to succeed — you can build global-level tech right here. ⸻ Leadership Style: Humble, Hands-On, Nation-Focused Monis Rehman is known for his humility. Despite being one of Pakistan’s top tech founders, he remains simple, approachable, and deeply focused on impact. He believes that Pakistan’s biggest asset is its people — and that with the right tools, anyone can rise. His work didn’t stop at jobs. He built: • Finja – a fintech startup to empower small businesses • Dastak – a digital platform for home chefs • Other ventures that show his commitment to building Pakistan’s digital infrastructure Where others see problems, Monis sees opportunities. ⸻ A Visionary for Pakistan’s Future Monis always talks about one thing: building systems that empower Pakistanis. His philosophy is simple: • If people get jobs, poverty goes down. • If businesses find talent, the economy grows. • If youth have opportunity, the country rises. He is one of the rare founders who thinks not just about profit, but about national uplift. ⸻ Why We Must Learn From Him Today, millions of Pakistanis have earned salaries, supported families, and built careers because of Rozee.pk. The impact is bigger than many universities. Where universities give degrees, Monis gave opportunity. Where the system creates bottlenecks, he created access. Where people were hopeless, he gave them a path. This is why Pakistan needs 100 more Monis Rehmans — people who build platforms that change lives at scale. ⸻ A Call to Action Let us study his life, his mindset, his courage, his clarity. Let us teach our youth to think like him. Let us create platforms, not just businesses. Let us solve problems, not just complain. Monis Rehman’s story is the story of a man who believed that Pakistan can rise — and then proved it. h

Every time I visit @cheezious I feel hope for progress and prosperity for Pakistan 🇵🇰 as they offer amazing prices, amazing quality, amazing smile 😊 always when I visit them ! Very proud of their progress and may they open their shop number 1000 soon !

Who is Ijaz Shafi Gillani of Gallup Pakistan? Ijaz Shafi Gillani is one of Pakistan’s most respected social scientists and the founder & chairman of Gallup Pakistan, the country’s oldest and most reliable public opinion research organization. For more than 40 years, he has measured what Pakistanis think — about politics, economics, education, media, society, and the future. Key Highlights of His Life & Work 1. Founder of Gallup Pakistan (1980) Pakistan’s first public opinion research institution He introduced scientific polling to Pakistan at a time when almost no one was collecting data about public thinking. His work became the foundation for modern survey research in the country. 2. Advisor to Governments, Media & Global Institutions His data has guided: • Government planning departments • International organizations (UN, World Bank) • Media channels (Geo, Dawn, ARY) • Universities and policy makers Whenever you hear “Gallup Survey shows…” — that is often his team’s work. 3. Teacher, Thinker, and Mentor He has taught at: • Quaid-e-Azam University • Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) • Forman Christian College (FCC) Thousands of students, journalists, and policymakers learned data-based decision making through him. 4. Global Recognition Ijaz Gillani is part of the Worldwide Gallup Association, connecting Pakistan’s data with 100+ countries. 5. Record-keeper of Pakistan’s Feelings For decades he has asked Pakistanis: • Are you satisfied with your life? • Are things going in the right direction? • Who will you vote for? • What do you fear the most? • What do you hope for? His work is like a diary of Pakistan’s emotions. ⸻ Why His Work Matters Today In a country where decisions are often made without data, Gillani’s research gives facts, not opinions. He showed Pakistan that: • You cannot improve what you cannot measure. • Every policy must be based on public need, not guesswork. • Data is the backbone of progress. He helped Pakistan move from “andaza” to “evidence.”
