  میں فقیر محمّد ابراھیم کا مرید ہوں اور وہ میرے مرشد ہیں. اگر میں حضرت علیؓ کے زمانے میں بھی ہوتا تو میں حضرت علیؓ کو امام اور خلیفہ تو مانتا لیکن ان کی مریدی نہیں کرتا, مرید تو میں فقیر محمّد ابراہیم کا ہی بنتا. بیشک بعد میں میں اور وہ دوست بن گے تھے لیکن شروع میں میں ان کا مرید بنا تھا.     English Translation: I am a Mureed(Devotee) of Faqeer Muhammad Ibrahim and he is my Murshid(Guru). If I had been in the time of Hazrat Ali(A.S.), I would have accepted Hazrat Ali(A.S.) as the Imam and Caliph, but would not have selected him as my Murshid(Guru). Indeed, in the end, Faqeer Muhammad Ibrahim and I became friends, but in the beginning, I became his Mureed.

 When you are making or listening to music you should feel it in your heart. Don’t try to make or listen through your mind/ears, instead try to feel it in your heart.

 To make a mistake is not a mistake. If you do not accept your mistake is a mistake. If you don’t face the consequences of your mistake and try to avoid it is a mistake.

 In my opinion, you should never say that you are PROUD of your country or city or town, because all humans are the same and wherever they live does not matter. People are important, but places are not important. That being said, you spend time in different places, so you develop memories with those places. Those places are not important, but since you have spent time there, and developed memories, those places become important for you.

 Idea for a Drama/Series   In the drama, we would have the same characters but would have two stories. The main story would be with a happy ending and the other would be a sad ending. The main story is how things happened, and the other is how things could have happened. From the first to 2 nd last episode, the main story would cover 90% of the drama, and the other would cover 10%. The main would be in color and the other would be in black and white, so the audience can distinguish which is which.   In the 2 nd last episode, we would end the main story in a happy ending and the other in a sad ending. In the Last episode, we would show both stories 50% each. In this episode, we would continue the stories and make happy ending sad, and sad ending happy.

My elder brother's wife told me to get a kid's suit exchanged, so I went to Dolmen Shopping Mall, Clifton. When I went into the mall the shops were huge, fancy, and stylish. There were foreigners in the mall. I got the suit exchanged from Ethnic Shop. I went into the Next shop and a T-shirt was for $50. I buy defective T-shirts from Zainab market for $1. I thought about going into the Adidas shop but decided against it as it would also be too expensive. When I go to these expensive malls and I am thirsty I don’t buy a water bottle, instead, I go to the washroom and drink tap water from the wash basin.   I want to buy T-shirts from Next and shoes from Adidas. Since I have limited money I buy cheap clothes and shoes. I don’t want to work for money, but I want to buy expensive clothes and luxuries. Now I have two options, either work for money and then from that money buy luxuries, or live with limited resources. I choose the latter. In life do what you want rather than runnin...

What is difficult for humans to do? (1)     to do good deeds (2)     to do bad deeds   In my opinion, humans by nature want to do good deeds. So, it is very difficult for humans to do bad deeds. Humans do not want to do bad deeds, but they were forced by God to do bad deeds, if something is not in your nature then you would not do it naturally. Only if someone more powerful than you forces you to do something that is not in nature, you would do that thing.    Some people might argue that it is not God but Satan that forces humans to do bad deeds, my argument would be that God permits Satan to mislead humans, and that is why he is misleading people. If God had not permitted Satan to lead then he could not mislead humans.   Some people might argue that this world is an exam and those who do good deeds would pass and those who do bad deeds would fail. My counter argument would be that God made humans, and if we fail in an ex...

 Water based Musical Instrument   I want to invent a musical instrument that is water based. There's one main instrument that uses water to create sound i.e. the hydraulophone which was invented in 2005.   I like the sound of river flowing, the sea, and water falls. Water make sound when it falls the speed at which falls created different sound. The quantity of water that fell also make different sound. If it is a small amount it would make small noise and if it is a huge amount it would make a huge splash.     If we can make a water based musical instrument that would be great. Would anyone can do it or can help me in it, that would be great.   I have amusia (tone deafness), only 2% people have it. It is a musical disorder that appears mainly as a defect in processing pitch but also encompasses musical memory and recognition. If I can try to invent a musical instrument other can as well.

Relationship/marriage and love   In my opinion, don’t do a relationship/marriage with the person you love.   Relationships/marriage and love are two different things. We have joined them and made them one. People say you should have a relationship/marriage with the person you love. Or If you have a relationship/marriage with someone you would fall in love with him/her. All these are incorrect understandings, we should keep Love and relationship/marriage separate as both are separate.   If you love someone, tell them how you feel. Take care of him/her, be there for him/her. Do whatever you want, but don’t have a relationship/Marriage/sex with him/her. His/her boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife should know that you love him/her and they should not have any issues with that. The same is true, if your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife is loved by someone you should not have an issue with that.   You may argue that it is friendship rather than love. I would...

What would you choose if you had to choose between LOVE and HAPPINESS?   I would choose happiness. J   If someone says happiness, he/she has not been in love, otherwise his/her answer would not be happiness. There is a verse in Punjabi “uthaye kuch nahi bachta jithe ishq na la ley dera” meaning “There is nothing left where love resides”. So, if you fall in love you don’t have the option to choose something over love. 

 I love everyone dead or alive or unborn.

 Every human is equal(human) In my opinion, every human is equal, regardless of financial, educational, occupational, genetic, beauty, character, gender, age, religion, color, race, etc status they have. If a person thinks that he/she is superior to someone else then he/she is wrong. Also, if a person thinks that he/she is inferior to someone else then he/she is not wrong, he/she is very very very wrong. Thinking inferior of yourself is the worst thing someone can do to themselves. We should also not think that between two people one is inferior and one is superior, we should think that they are equal(human). The main thing is our THINKING, not your actions/treatment. We should not think that someone is inferior or superior, we should think that everyone is equal(human). Our actions/treatment of two people can be different. To explain it I would give 3 scenarios. There are 2 people, one is poor and one is rich. I have to give gifts to both of them. Scenario 1: To the poor person, I...

  I don’t want to work for money so I don’t have money. If I get the money I would do the following things;   1)       Buy a Kids Monterrey: Because I love playing with kids. 2)       Become a Music Producer: Because I love music and want to produce music. 3)       Become a Movie/Drama Producer: Because I love watching romantic Dramas/Movies. 4)       Buy an Art Academy: Because I love art. 5)       Buy a brothel: Because I believe that prostitution is a trade and they should have the same respect that other trades have. 6)       Buy a Football Club: Because I love football. I play an online football manager game named hattrick.org    

  Governments minimum daily wage stupidity   Governments are fooling people by setting up minimum daily wage for employers. Governments should set minimum daily wage targets for themselves instead of employers.   Governments should make policies and take actions that influence daily wage. It is easy to set minimum wage for employers, but it is very difficult to set a minimum wage target for themselves and achieve it.

 Religion and God   You don’t need to follow a religion to believe in God i.e. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc.   In my opinion, it is better not to follow a religion if you believe in God and want to love God. Religion is a distraction in your pursuit of God. Even though in the majority of religions you have to believe in God, they take you away from God.    

 Unlearning is far more difficult than learning   We are taught different subjects in our schools in our childhood, so it helps us in our adult lives. The question is, do those subjects we are taught in our schools help us in our adult lives? In my opinion, our education system is flawed. In school children should not be taught any subject instead they should play and do activities. The main motivation of our education system is money. Parents think about how much their child will earn after he graduates. The School/university thinks about their student's employability. The parents and schools/university priority should be the child, not the money he would earn.   Parents and Schools/universities think that if the child earns more he would have an easy life, but in reality, children do have an easy financial life but not an easy life.

Look how stupid I am. I bought some cheap gift boxes, and now I am thinking about buying gifts to put in the boxes and people to give the gift. This thinking might look stupid to others, but it is good for me if it suits me.

 I watch porn and masturbate.   In my opinion, the majority of boys (more than 50%) masturbate in Pakistan. I am now 45 years old, but when I was around 21 years old once a boy said that 95% of the boys masturbate (it was his opinion).   According to Quran Surah 24. An-Nur, Ayat 32-34 “And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” [24:32]   According to Fiqh Al Ahwat, Chapter Nikah (marriage) “Marriage is obligatory for a person who is suffering from sexual excitement to a dangerous extent and he fears that this situation may lead to adultery”.   According to Fiqh Al Ahwat, Chapter Hadood (limitations), if a person is found Masturbating then the Imam (Ruler) should arrange the marriage of such a person with money from Bait-ul-Maal (Treasury).   On average, puberty typically begins bet...

 I am blessed that I got the love of my mother.   What thing you are blessed with?  

 Pain of Sorrow   I felt the pain of sorrow like my heart couldn’t bear it like my heart would bust out. Even though there is pain I enjoy it as well.   Have you felt like this? Do you enjoy this kind of feeling?  

Why live a life? Up until now, I wanted to understand life so I can spend it well. Now I realize I was asking the wrong question to myself, the right question is not “What is life?”, instead it is “Why live a life?”. In the movie “Marry Me” there was a statement “When you sit on the question long enough, the answer finds you”, maybe it is this reason I reached the right question. It’s been a while since I sat on the question “What is life?” and now I realize I was asking the wrong question. Normally it is perceived that we are born to be servants of God, help other people, and do good deeds. If we do good deeds we will go to heaven and if we do bad deeds we will go to hell. In heaven there are castles, rivers of milk, Beautiful women/men, etc., and every luxury. In hell, there is a river of fire and you have to live your life there, there is pain and punishment in hell. If I do all the good deeds and go to heaven, there I would get all the luxuries but I have to live a life. If I don’t...
