Hijra in Saudia

 پاکستان کا ہیجڑا اور عربوں کا سعودیہ 
از صدف سلمان مخدوم 

میں ایک ہیجڑا ہوں. بس اتنا سا تعارف ہے میرا. پیدا ہوا تو ماں باپ کے لئے کلنک، جوان ہوا تو اپنے لئے عذاب. گرو کی سنوں تو جسم فروشی کروں اور اگر انکار کروں تو ٹریفک کے اشاروں پر بھیک مانگوں اور غلیظ باتیں سنوں. ایسے میں آج پتا چلا کہ خدا نے بھی مجھ سے قطع تعلق کر لیا ہے. 

Gay Rights In Islam? Are You Serious?

By Tipu Salman Makhdoom

The recent judgment of the US Supreme Court legalizing Gay Marriages has been a sort of blow to all. For Gays and Lesbians it was a blow of jubilations, while for the rest of us, conservatives, it came as a blow hard struck. 

Nazi Germany & Jehadi Pakistan!

By Tipu Salman Makhdoom

Brainwashing is a technique of influencing mind. When an assertion is repeated again and again as a gospel truth without allowing difference of opinion, mind gets numb after a while and takes the assertion as truth. And if an organized group exercises this technique on a large group or society, a hysteria occurs. But the best, actually the worst, results occur when this technique is applied on children.

Death Penalty; A Pakistani Perspective

CAN LEGAL FICTION OVERCOME RELIGIOUS AND CONSTITUTIONAL LOCKS?

DEATH PENALTY: A PAKISTANI PERSPECTIVE

BY

Tipu Salman Makhdoom*

Abstract:

Death Penalty is not really an issue in Pakistan. Mostly because it’s an ideological state, Constitutionally having a religion which clearly provides for death penalty. In addition to this ideological check, there is also a Constitutional check. Constitution of Pakistan states that all laws need to confirm to Islam and Supreme Court of Pakistan says that among others, this part of Constitution constitutes the ‘Basic Structure’ of the Constitution which cannot be amended, even by adopting the procedure that Constitution itself provides for its amendment!

After making a jurisprudential argument in favour of abolition of death penalty, this paper explores the ideological and Constitutional checks in Pakistan legal system locking the death penalty in the system. In the end, an argument is made that in addition to taking the political course, a legal path can be taken to abolish the death penalty in Pakistan, without violating the Constitutional check; legal fiction.

Cancerous Faiths

by Tipu Salman Makhdoom


According to fundamentalists, all faiths are cancerous; all but one. Which one, is the million dollar question. And answer to this question is not easy. At least it is not cheap. It has cost us tens of thousands of innocent lives in last few years. Count in many tens we paid in Karachi. The currency this time was the blood soaked bodies of the peaceful Ismailies, a sub-sect of Shias, considered heretics by Talibans and ISIS.

1- INTRODUCTION

In middle ages, Portuguese law declared Muslims as protected but inferior subjects. They were decreed to live in separate quarters and to restrict their social interaction with Christians.[1] At the same time, in the neighbouring Spain, similar transition was taking place from a Muslim to a Christian society. “During the war with the Muslims of Granada, Isabella founded the first military hospital in Europe, consisting of six large tents equipped with bandages, medicine, and beds, which were carried from on besieged town to another.”[2] 

My Relation to God

by Tipu Salman Makhdoom

What is my relation to God? Why has He created me? What does He want from me? 

Tough questions? Important but not pressing! The pressing one is coming.

How does God want me to live?

Depends on what does He want from me? Which in turn depends on why has He created me?

Taking the trail from between, what does He want from me? I can find this out on finding Him; discovering Him.

How should I discover Him? By following the path that tradition tells me or by my own efforts? If I try to choose my own path, there is a strong possibility that I will take the wrong path. Is it worth taking the risk?

Example: A father plays hide and seek with his two kids. And he gives them a hint where he is hiding. One kid is not very enthusiastic in finding him but he is on the right track. The other, though on the wrong track, is very enthusiastic in finding him and is trying hard. Which kid will the father love more?
