The Secret Mission: Pakistani Pilots in the 1973 Arab-Israeli War

Image
 Take a closer look… It was October 1973, during the holy month of Ramadan, and Israel was unleashing devastation upon the Palestinians. Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, made an extraordinary decision—he dispatched 16 highly trained Pakistan Air Force pilots to assist in the war against Israel. This mission was extremely secretive. The pilots were informed that if they were martyred or captured, the Pakistani government would not take responsibility for them. Bhutto had already taken Syrian President Hafez al-Assad into confidence and shared the entire plan with him. The Pakistani pilots first secretly arrived in Baghdad, and then were moved covertly to the Dumayr military airbase near Damascus. Of the 16, eight brave Pakistani pilots were sent on to Egypt. The Syrian Air Force assigned the Pakistani unit the identity of Squadron 67A, and exactly 36 hours after Bhutto’s decision, the Pakistani pilots were in the cockpits of old Soviet-made MiG-21 F-13 aircraft. The c...

The Hidden History of ‘Dhobi Ka Kutta’: Unraveling the Misunderstood Proverb & Its Ancient Roots"

Image
  "The Hidden History of ‘Dhobi Ka Kutta’: Unraveling the Misunderstood Proverb & Its Ancient Roots"   **The Surprising Origin of “Dhobi Ka Kutta”: It Was Never About a Dog!**   The proverb **“Dhobi ka kutta, na ghar ka na ghaat ka”** (The washerman’s dog belongs neither to the home nor the riverbank) is commonly used to describe someone or something that doesn’t fit anywhere. For generations, the word **“kutta”** (dog) was taken literally, conjuring imagery of a stray dog torn between two places. However, recent linguistic and historical insights reveal a startling twist: the phrase was *never* about a dog at all!   ### The Misinterpretation: How “Kutta” Stole the Spotlight   The confusion stems from a linguistic evolution. The original word was **“katka”** (कत्का or کتکہ), referring to a **heavy wooden bat** or paddle used by washermen (*dhobis*) to beat clothes clean at riverbanks (*ghats*). Over time, “katka” morphed into “kutta” (कुत...

Image
  Umar Farooq’s Final Moments: A Lesson in Humility and Accountability When Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was assassinated and wounded, he was given milk to treat his wounds. But the milk came out of his wound. The doctor said: "O Commander of the Faithful! Your days are limited, make a will."  Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called his son Abdullah and said:  "Bring Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman to me."  Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) was the companion to whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had told the names of the hypocrites, and this secret was known only to Allah, the Messenger of Allah, and Hudhaifah.  When Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, despite the blood flowing,  "O Hudhaifah! I swear to you by Allah, did the Messenger of Allah name me among the hypocrites?"  Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent an...

Family Matters: The Importance of Presence in Marriage

Image
  Family Matters: The Importance of Presence in Marriage Never leave your wife alone and go out to work, and don't say that I am sending her enough money to live a good life. A woman doesn't marry for money and expenses. A woman needs you. A woman wants you to be with her, to support her when there is a problem. She needs someone to support her, to stand by her in difficult times. She needs someone to talk to, to laugh with, and with whom she feels safe. If you leave her alone for years, problems will arise. Many young men, when they go on a trip and leave their wives for a long time, when they return they feel something strange. They feel that their wives are a burden and are waiting for them to leave. Although they themselves are responsible for this.  The problem is that when a woman is left alone, she starts acting like the man of the house.  She does everything herself,  thinks, plans.  So when the husband returns after years and tries to play his role,...
