"TIME TO REFLECT, TIME TO RENEW":
RABI'-Ul Awwal holds a special place in Islamic calendar when Allah sent on earth the most illustrious personality, His Beloved Prophet Muhammad (sal'lalahu a a'llaihi wa sal'am). This Holy Month is a time to reflect, renew and regain our compassion through learning about Him (sal'lalahu a a'llaihi wa sal'am). In the Muslim's heart there must be a special respect and love for the Prophet (sal'lalahu a a'llaihi wa sal'am), otherwise our faith is incomplete. No doubt Rabi al-Awwal is a special occasion but to me it is the right time to talk about various aspects of life (seerat) of the Messenger of Allah (sal'lalahu a a'llaihi wa sal'am).

Panacea of all ills
The present state of affairs in the valley of Kashmir does not, in any way, give even inkling that it is a well knit society with clearly defined contours and roles. Even a cursory look manifests that this society has become a crowd not a nation with everyone churning his own theories with no practical significance at all. It is because of lack of well defined goals and assigned or adopted roles that we are going away from creating a society that ensures panacea to most of our self imposed ills. With it, Kashmiris have developed a habit of complaining as they are unable to enforce a combined motto to its fruition.

The way to Successful life
DUTIES DIRECTIVES AND DETERMINATION
The value of anything is bound up with whether or not it is pleasing to Allah and whether or not it is used in order to gain His approval. In other words, what a person does is not important. What is important is his motive for doing it. How much he spends is not important. What is important is his motive for spending it. It is believed that at the societal level, we are actually left with only two important-institutions that can provide the desirable moral imperatives and an operational criterion for defining what is right or wrong for our youth who have become the victim cultural onslaught: the family and the religious institutions.

Young , but ruthless
Dear Editor,
My question is how many tragic accidents and deaths will road rage take? Every second day we read about some kind of road accident due to speedy and reckless driving but after reading such reports, I feel that the issue of minor drivers behind some deaths is terrible. Along with the young driver, the person who lets him drive is also responsible. Maybe the grownups should think first about the consequences, for it is devastating that these young motorists just don’t put their own life in danger but of others as well. Maybe they love adventure or they feel the road belongs to them.

A missive to SKIMS ‘Director’
Respected Sir,
With due respect to your goodself, I humbly request to submit my grievances. As an attendant with a patient at the hospital, I encountered strange things in the premises of this much ‘acclaimed’ hospital or Institute, as you may love to call it. Since last few days, a number of unethical things are at peak and patients are left to suffer.
