Salaudeen
Abdulkadir, the chief missioner of the Igbomina-Ekiti Muslim Forum, says Muslim
women who do not want to miss their fasting can medically delay the menstrual
cycle.
Mr
Abdulkadir made the statement in Ilorin while delivering the annual Ramadan
lecture organised by the Igbomina-Ekiti Muslim Forum national headquarters.
The
chief missioner emphasised that as long as the process did not endanger the
women’s lives, they could alter their cycle to fast the complete month of
Ramadan.
He
explained that Islam was applicable in every era or situation, adding that
experts on Islamic Jurisprudence had researched and reached the conclusion that
a woman could delay her cycle if she so desired.
The
cleric stated that Allah had mandated Ramadan fasting on believing Muslims,
adding that this was for health and spiritual rejuvenation.
Mr
Abdulkadir, also the chief imam of Olanrewaju Mosque, reminded that Allah did
not overburden man beyond his capacity.
The
cleric warned Muslims against following cultures against the practices of
Islam, adding that screaming, shouting or calling Allah’s name in vain is
prohibited.
“You
do not shout the name of Allah or call his name in vain. Allah has taught us
ways of calling on him and getting nearer to him.
“When
you obey Allah, He will hold you in high regards. You must folow his
injunctions to become nearer to Allah,” he advised.
Similarly,
Mr Abdulkadir emphasised the importance of reading the Holy Quran, adding that
“Ramadan is the month of the Quran.”
He
pointed out that Ramadan was not prescribed for the very sick, and that if life
was threatened due to fasting, then they were excused from the obligation.
The
cleric added that though other cultures came with their own form of fasting,
Ramadan fasting was unique as it was prescribed by Allah, who instructed
Muslims on its process.
Also,
Nasuredeen Ibrahim, the national president of the association, urged Muslims on
the remembrance of Allah and being grateful to him at all times and
circumstances.
Commenting
on the economic situation in the country, he advised that this was the best
time to get closer to Allah for all challenges.
“We
should do the little we can. Allah has not overburdened us and He will accept.
But you cannot reduce the mandated Ibadah,” he said.

LAHORE:
Aseefa Bhutto Zardari is the seventh person directly related to Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto who is making her electoral debut.
If
emerged victorious, like Bilawal, she will be the only member of the National
Assembly whose parents have served as prime minister and president, and both
held these offices for two terms.
Since
her grandfather Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s electoral debut in 1970, the members
directly related to him, including his wife Begum Nusrat Bhutto, his two
children Benazir Bhutto and Mir Murtaza Bhutto, his son-in-law Asif Ali
Zardari, daughter-in-law Ghinwa Bhutto, grandson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and
cousin Mumtaz Bhutto, have made electoral debuts in various general elections.
Now
Aseefa is another member related to ZAB directly who is contesting for a seat
in the National Assembly. After Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, his wife Begum Nusrat
Bhutto and daughter Benazir Bhutto made their electoral debuts in 1988 and
reached the National Assembly.
In
1993, Mir Murtaza Bhutto, son of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto became a member of Sindh
Assembly in 1993. Bhutto’s grandson and son of Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal made his
electoral debut in 2018 and became a member of National Assembly.
Now,
it is Aseefa who is contesting for the National Assembly seat. Zardari made his
electoral debut in 1985 from the same district, Nawabshah but he could not win.
He won in 1990 from Lyari and became a member of the National Assembly and also
served as senator as well as president of the country in later years. He is
also the current President of the country.
Ghinwa
Bhutto also contested the National Assembly election from Larkana in 2008 on
PPP-SB ticket but lost to PPP’s Nisar Khuhro.Mumtaz Bhutto, the cousin of
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, also served as Sindh chief minister.

Punjab CM Maryam Nawaz
Steps In To Get Ex-PTI MNA Maleeka Bokhari’s Name Removed From No-Fly List
March 18, 2024
LAHORE - In
a goodwill gesture that can help reduce the prevailing political tensions in
the country, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif Sunday used her good
offices to get the name of ex-PTI MNA Maleeka Bokhari removed from the no-fly
list to enable her travel abroad to see her ailing sister. In a post on social
media website X, Maleeka had sought Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s
intervention to facilitate her travel abroad to see her elder sister
struggling for life in a hospital in Australia. “I am a Pakistani citizen,
and the Constitution of Pakistan has entitled me the fundamental right to
freedom of movement and travel. My eldest sister is fighting for her life, and
I want to see her face, be in her presence, and touch her”, she posted on X,
adding that she had been placed on the illegal no-fly travel list by the FIA
for a year. She urged the State and the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to give
her one-time permission to be with her sister.
Responding
to Maleeka’s post, Maryam Nawaz replied: “Let me speak to the concerned
authorities Maleeka. I hope you have filed a request in writing officially. May
Allah bless your sister with good health”. Maleeka took to X after some time
again and told her well-wishers that her name has been removed from the no-fly
list. “I have come to know that my name has been excluded from No Fly List.”
She
thanked Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for giving a sympathetic view to her
appeal for help.
In
her first post on X about the deteriorating health condition of her sister,
Maleeka stated: “Her brain has swelled up, had a massive heart attack, and is
now on life support on a ventilator. The doctors have given us 24 hours to
decide whether they will declare her dead or keep her on the ventilator”. She
further stated that mothers, sisters, and daughters are valuable for everyone.
My siblings are travelling to Australia to see her. She said her sister had
no political affiliation and was like a mother to her. “I want to see her in
person one last time”, she said. Maleeka pleaded that it was her fundamental
right. “Our religion, ethics, and law of the land also dictates this”, she
said.
Meanwhile,
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz visited the Central Jail Kot Lakhpat here
on Sunday and broke fast with the women prisoners.
The
CM, instead of sitting with the guests, sat with the women prisoners. She
herself presented samosas, pakoras, fruit and food to the women prisoners. She
planted a sapling in the lawns of the Central Jail and ordered to plant more
trees in jail. The CM also visited the cell where her father Nawaz Sharif was
kept during his period of imprisonment. She, while recalling those days spent
in jail, got emotional.
She
inaugurated a 20-bed hospital for rehabilitation of drug-addicts in the Central
Jail Kot Lakhpat.
Maryam
also inaugurated the video call facility for prisoners. Central Jail Lahore is
the first jail of its kind for providing video call facility to prisoners
across the globe.
The
CM visited kitchen of the jail and checked and reviewed the quality of food
being prepared for prisoners. On the direction of CM, a special Iftar menu
had been prepared for prisoners. On the direction of the CM, the prisoners were
presented with biryani, samosas, pakoras, fruits and dahi bharay in their
Iftar.
The
CM conversed with the prisoners and inquired about their problems and needs.
Maryam, while talking to the women prisoners, stated that she has come to meet
them. The CM held the hand of a little girl accompanied by a woman prisoner
and inquired from her about the food. Maryam Nawaz also met the jail staff
being deputed during her period of imprisonment in the jail and also
distributed gifts among the prisoners who got released from the jail.
On
the direction of CM, every male prisoner getting released was given rupees
15000 along with clothes while women prisoners were given rupees 15000, clothes
and bangles.
Former
Senator Pervez Rasheed, Provincial Minister for Information & Culture Azma
Zahid Bokhari, chief secretary, secretary home, special secretary home, IG
Prisons Farooq Nazir and other officials also accompanied.
CM
ANNOUNCES 3-MONTH REMISSION IN JAIL TERMS OF PRISONERS
Punjab
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Sunday announced three-month remission in the
punishment of prisoners and release of 155 prisoners across the province.
Addressing
the Iftar dinner ceremony organised in the Kot Lakhpat Jail here, the CM
stated that 155 prisoners are being released after paying a diyat amount of
rupees 150 million with the collaboration of philanthropists. A video call
facility will be provided in all the jails of Punjab very soon, she announced.
The
CM stated that she herself remembered the time spent during her period of
imprisonment while coming to the Central Jail today. “I was imprisoned in the
Death Cell Chakhi and faced a difficult time. My father was also imprisoned in
the same Jail but was denied permission for meeting him. I used to meet my
father once a week only. Once I received a hand written letter of my father
which stated that he after being arrested is being taken to the NAB. Someone
in the jail told me that your father is feeling unwell and is being taken to
the hospital. It was a time of great difficulty.”

Poster Girl For SNP (Single
Nucleotide Polymorphism)’s New Hate Crime Laws Works For ‘Islamist’ Group
Accused Of Hate Speech
RICHARD
ELDRED
17
MARCH 2024
A
poster girl for the SNP’s new hate crime laws is a member of an organisation
with “Islamist beliefs” that “engages in hate speech and antisemitic conspiracy
theories”, according to a probe by the Scottish Mail on Sunday. Here’s an
excerpt:
A
video uploaded to a Scottish Government website ahead of new anti-prejudice
legislation coming into force next month shows a Muslim woman called Linsay
Taylor discussing the impact of Islamophobic attacks.
Yet
a probe by the Scottish Mail on Sunday can reveal the organisation Ms. Taylor
works for, Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), may fall foul of the laws
she has been enlisted to promote.
Last
week, U.K. Community Secretary Michael Gove used parliamentary privilege to
name MEND as one of five extremist groups that could be banned from receiving
taxpayer cash or contact with ministers and civil servants under a new
crackdown. …
Fiyaz
Mughal – who was forced to stand aside from the position of the U.K.
Government’s Islamophobia tsar due to a widespread backlash from extremist
groups – expressed deep concern at the Scottish Government’s decision to use a
senior MEND employee to promote its new hate laws.
Mr.
Mughal, who is founder of Muslims against Antisemitism, said: “One of the
groups that created a whipping-up on social media against me was MEND.” …
He
added: “People who are associated with the divisive group MEND should be
reviewed in terms of their past comments before they are recruited onto any
public sector campaign.” …
The
Scottish Mail on Sunday can reveal she works as Head of Community Development
and Engagement at MEND.
According
to think tank the Henry Jackson Society, MEND has been accused of promoting
“antisemitism and demonisation of Israel” and “engaging in hate speech and
antisemitic conspiracy theories over social media”.
