GOOD DAY (1st October)



I0th of Muharram teachs us how to live life and why to die. Life is to love & respect human beings and abide by human values. Death is daring weapon to face & fight with dictators, unlawful Authorities and Usurpers. Hussain sets trend in the Battle field of Karbala, in this regard, on this day. Don't term or colour it as "Religious event". But, accept it as an event of Human history and for the human beings to learn and adopt it accordingly. (Dr. Pathan)
ڏھین محرم جي ڏینھن تي، 
ھو ڏس ڪربلا ۾ ڪونڌر،
سمجهائي موت حیات پيو، 
ڪري قربان سر سارو گھر،
جیئن قھر ظلم نہ کٹي ڪر،
پر ھر ھنڌ سونھن سلام رھي.
