begging profession

 Yesterday I went to a seminar. In the seminar, the presenter said that the population of Pakistan is 230 million out of which 1 million are baggers. The daily wage of labor is 1,200Rs, and a bagger earns 3,500 daily. We are paid according to the value we add. A laborer helps in construction of buildings, while a bagger does nothing and still earns thrice of what a laborer earns.

 

My point is, what is value addition?

If you look from another point of view a politician,  doctor, engineer, lawyer, prostitute, monk, actor, singer, sportsman, cleaner, driver etc.. are also not add any value. It is up to our point of view how we see things. So keep giving baggers money even if out of 1 million baggers maybe 1 might be a genuine bagger.

 

A while back I read that the Saudi government arrested 3,000 baggers in Makkah and Madinah. My question was is begging illegal(haram) in Islam? I don’t think so. Yes stealing is illegal(haram) in Islam so if someone is pickpocket or thief arrest them and get them punished. If someone is begging let them be, if someone wants to give them money it is not the concern of government. Catch the thieves, not the baggers.

 

A week ago I went to Gulshan-e-Igbal, while I was sitting in a tea restaurant 2-3 girls aged 14-15 years came to drink free water. I asked them where they live, and they said  they live at Adam Road. It hurts to see them begging for money in the blazing sun.

[idea] Film or Series on Suicide

If you want to die, you can legally submit an application to the court stating that you want to take your own life. The court asks you the reasons you want to take your own life, but even if you don’t state any reason, that is fine as well. The court then asks you to come after 2 weeks, to get your permission to take your own life. The court also informs about your decision to your family so they might be able to convince you not to take your own life.   After the permission is granted, the person can take their own life, but he/she have to do it on their own. For example, they have to shoot bullets themselves,  they have to jump themselves, someone else cannot push them, etc.     Now, a lot of scenarios open up as follows;   1)       Someone really wants to take their own life 2)     ...

Americ Vs Israel

 I have a gut feeling that America will attack Israel.   The people who blame America for supporting Israel in the genoside is Gaza should blame only Israel not America for Israel actions. I also believe Hamas leadership is working for Israel, so Hammas leadership is to blame for genoside in Gaza. There is a limit to which you support/help your friend, but there comes a point where you had enough of it.
