Is there a lawyer here ? Can you answer my friend about the following:

Is Pakistani legal stuff based on english common law? I suspect india is and I know that Pakistan broke away from india but I dont know what they did with respect to their legal system

Pakistani law is based upon the legal system of British India; thus ultimately on the common law of England and Wales. -- that means that its similar but not identical to what I am learning now, and what I have learned since I started law as a hobby in 1992 which means it might be possible for me to do some introductory level law classes for your school. it would by no means by anything overly complex but like law for business owners or whtaever it would take a good amount of research on my part though to learn the differences between there and here. near as I can tell there are 3 basic legal systems globally. common law (from the UK), civil law (from ancient rome) and sharia law (from either the quoran or muhammeds other writings I am unsure where exactly it comes from)

I know jewish law is also different, its based on the torah as its superceding law and then laws of man but am unsure which type of legal system they have. and I suspect there are other smaller localized legal systems elsewhere in the world. but those are the 3 biggest

I do not know much about sharia law but I do know that it varies greatly from place to place, ruler to ruler. Iran for example lets women work but some other places think of that as a sin. This makes it harder to research because a change in rulers can potentially change a lot of definitions.

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor contended.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy?

The King asked the servant, Why are you so happy?

The man replied, Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I dont need too much just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.

The king sought the advice of his most trusted adviser. After hearing the story, the adviser said, Your Majesty, the servant has not yet joined "The 99 Club".

The 99 Club? And what is that? the King inquired.

The adviser replied, To truly know what The 99 Club is, just place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servants doorstep.

When the servant saw the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... so many gold coins. He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were only 99 coins.

He wondered, What couldve happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!

He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally he decided that he was going to work harder than ever to earn that 100th gold coin.

From that day, the servant was a changed man. He was overworked, grumpy, and blamed his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin.

And he had stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. The adviser said, Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.

He continued, The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contended, because theyre always wanting that extra 1, saying to themselves:

"Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life."

We can be happy with very little in our lives, but the minute were given something bigger and better, we want more ...and even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, all these as the price for our growing needs and desires.

Thats "The 99 Club"...
Zero Membership fee to enter, but you pay for it for (& with) your entire life!

One of the most important #Debate for the Lifetime of Human History, Today broadcasting live first time in the world globally online and via tv for the next ruler of Planet Earth

https://www.facebook.com/ABCNews/videos/vb.86680728811/10154831951578812/

If our nation does not work on itself, another ruler is already coming to rule us in near future in same way !

Today you can follow people like Shahid Hussain Joia and manufacture local goods and use them, they will improve in quality once you start using them and competition increases !

But made in china will destroy us totally

Peace and blessings be upon you.

I have commented on your post concerning condition of our country but it could escape from your eyes there so I am sending it here as well. Kindly, ponder over it.

3 things indicating the root of destruction and the solution are as follows:

1. According to Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) rulers are like the masses. Hence, root of destruction is the public of Pakistan. Most of the people are lier, selfish and lost! Result= lier, corrupt, selfish rulers.

2. Allah doesnt change the condition of the people unless they change their selves! If we truly want to see beauty around us we must be ready to fix what inside of us is. We must follow the Master!

3. Quickest "Solution" is "Abondonment of Lying". A child or an illiterate person can easily understand this lesson "do not lie". Start campaign, "stop lying". Once a person asked Beloved Prophet that which one sin he should leave of all (including drinking and adultary) he was doing, Prophet asked him to stop lying. We can learn from wisdom that the root of evil of the masses is "falsehood". If it is eliminated, all evil would consequently diminish.

In essence, for true leadership and a peaceful state we need likewise masses, and "TRUTH" is the key, the first step towards the change of the masses.

I truly respect your effort for the economic upbringing of the nation but alongwith this your nation needs "character building", more voices like that of "YOUTH CLUB" who call them back to their Creator, the real Lover, and His Prophet, the real Standard!

Otherwise, we see the countries with huge economic success but there is not ultimate justice and no end to poverty. America too has homeless people. World economic giants are exploiting the poor. What is the use of such richness! On contrary, we have seen the era in Islamic history where there were no poor people liable to take Zakat in the city.

Allama Iqbal recalled the Secret of the Success of the Nation:

سبق پھر پڑھ صداقت کا، عدالت کا، شجاعت کا
لیا جاۓ گا تجھ سے کام دنیا کی امامت کا

#StopLying

Via Areeba Rajnab

The Paradox of the Court.

A king, who was known for his wisdom and justice, decided to hold a court in which he would judge all the people of his kingdom. He then sent messengers throughout the land, summoning all the people to come and hear the verdict. On the day of the court, a large crowd gathered in the kings palace.

The king then entered the room, took his seat on the throne, and declared: "I have called you all here today to judge me." The people were confused and asked the king how they could judge him, since he was the one who was supposed to judge them. The king replied: "I am the king and the judge, but I have done wrong. I have sinned and I must be judged by my people. If any of you can prove my guilt, I will resign from my throne and surrender my power."

The people were stunned and didnt know what to do. Nobody wanted to be the one to judge the king and accuse him of wrongdoing. Suddenly, a young boy stepped forward and said: "I will judge you, O king." The king asked the boy how he would judge him, and the boy replied: "I will judge you by asking you a question." The king agreed.

The boy then asked the king: "Where is the king?" The king replied: "I am the king." The boy then said: "Then you are guilty, for the king must always be in his kingdom, ruling and protecting his people. But you have left your kingdom and come here to be judged. Therefore, you are guilty and must resign from your throne."

The story is often interpreted as a philosophical puzzle or paradox, with the boys question serving as a test of the kings wisdom and justice. It is also used as a lesson about the importance of always being mindful of ones duties and responsibilities as a ruler.

The History of the word "Khan" spans several centuries and reflects its evolution from a title of leadership among nomadic tribes to its widespread use as a surname and title across various cultures. Heres a simplified timeline:

1. **Pre-6th Century**: Early origins in the Turkic and Mongolic languages, used to denote a leader or ruler among nomadic tribes in Central Asia.

2. **6th-12th Century**: The title becomes more established among Turkic tribes and is used in various Turkic and Mongol states, such as the Khaganates and Khanates in Central Asia and Mongolia.

3. **13th Century**: Genghis Khan (c. 1162-1227) unifies the Mongol tribes and establishes the Mongol Empire, marking the most famous use of the title. His successors, like Kublai Khan, continue to use it.

4. **14th-17th Century**: As the Mongol Empire fragments and declines, the title persists in the successor states and other regions influenced by Mongol rule, including parts of the Middle East, Persia, and South Asia.

5. **Ottoman Period (14th-20th Century)**: The title is used in the Ottoman Empire to denote various positions of authority and is adopted into local languages and cultures in the Middle East.

6. **19th-20th Century**: During the colonial period, especially in British India, the title "Khan" becomes a common honorific and is increasingly used as a surname, especially among Muslim populations in South Asia.

7. **21st Century**: "Khan" is now a widespread surname beyond its original geographic and cultural boundaries, found in South Asia, Central Asia, and among diaspora communities worldwide.

This timeline highlights the transition of "Khan" from a title of leadership and nobility to a common surname, reflecting its deep historical and cultural roots.

What is Bait - Bayah with a teacher !

The word "bayah" (بيعة) has deep historical and religious significance in Islamic tradition. It originates from the Arabic root word "b-y-a," which means to sell or trade, reflecting the notion of entering into a contract or agreement. Heres a brief history of the term:

1. **Early Islamic Period:**
- In the early days of Islam, "bayah" referred to a pledge of loyalty made to the Prophet Muhammad by his followers. This pledge was often made in a formal ceremony, signifying the followers commitment to the faith and to the leadership of the Prophet.
- The first significant bayah was the "Bayah al-Aqabah," where early converts from Yathrib (later Medina) pledged their loyalty to Muhammad and promised to support him and the Muslim community.

2. **Caliphs and Political Leaders:**
- After the death of Prophet Muhammad, the concept of bayah continued as a means of legitimizing the authority of the caliphs. The community would give bayah to a new caliph as a sign of their acceptance and support.
- This practice was crucial for maintaining political stability and ensuring a smooth transition of power.

3. **Sufi and Spiritual Context:**
- In Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam, bayah evolved to represent a spiritual pledge. Disciples would give bayah to a Sufi master, symbolizing their commitment to follow the masters spiritual guidance and teachings.
- This practice reinforced the spiritual bond between the master and the disciple, creating a structured path for spiritual growth and enlightenment.

4. **Modern Usage:**
- Today, bayah is still practiced in various Islamic communities and Sufi orders. It remains a significant ritual in which followers commit themselves to the teachings and guidance of a spiritual leader.
- In some political contexts, the concept of bayah is used to describe the allegiance given to a political leader or ruler.

Overall, the word "bayah" carries a rich history of religious, spiritual, and political significance, symbolizing loyalty, commitment, and the establishment of a binding agreement.
