Corona-virus Is available for sale



As we all know corona-virus is bad for us. I told you before on my blogs in detail about corona-virus and government decisions and what type of safety precautions should be used. What decisions are taken by other countries and they still are stable and fighting with the virus in a proper manner.
 
Why I choose these topic will scare everyone about the on going situation. As I told you recently corona-virus is graduated from a university, yes you read that right thing, and your question will be how is that even possible? I'll tell you how, because corona virus can only enter in mosques, business places and in shopping malls. but corona-virus can never enter in assemblies, media channels office’s and in juloos.
 
Now you understand why I choose this topic and what I’m trying to say. In Pakistan federal government banned public gathering and juloos but Sindh government allowed it, why? , and why media channels are not sealed or off? There might be a technical reason for this but not a valid or a logical reason for this. Sindh government and federal government is not on the same page in Pakistan. Especially media is selling corona-virus on television all the time. How much media is earning in this on going coronavirus situation and they want to scared all of us but I think we are forgetting many things.
 
As a Muslim we forgot we have a strong believe on Allah and He has the right to give death or life. But we follow tv channels because now they're teach us how to follow Islam. They are dajali fitnah’s. Still many countries have taken good and smart decisions for their citizen’s. It doesn’t matter how people follow and react. What matters is how these decision are being implemented. But every one want to earn and cash this situation, even doctors, media persons and government decision makers, the best actor and business person are taking advantage of this situation. Think about it! Allah safe us emaan and give us hidayat (ameen)

Caught between clerics

On May 7th, the government of Pakistan decided not to revise its earlier decision from April 18th, whereby the government allowed the re-opening of mosques after thorough negotiations between the state and the country’s top clerics. With a lengthy 20-point standard operating procedure (SOP) agreed upon by the government and Pakistan’s clerics, the latter seem to have got their way, again. This is a concerning development given the rampant spread of Covid-19 across Pakistan. While the SOPs agreed upon require mosques to follow 20 procedures (including maintaining a six-feet distance between worshippers, barring the entry of the ill and the elderly, wearing face masks, and performing ablution at home), one wonders how effectively the state is equipped to enforce these terms across thousands of mosques in the country.
Less than two weeks ago, a survey conducted by the Pattan Development Organisation – using a standardised checklist consisting of four out of 20 points of the agreement – showed that more than 80% of mosques in Punjab and the federal capital did not actually implement the agreement. An analysis of the survey shows that guidelines have widely been ignored by the mosque authorities. Therefore, one worries about the extent to which this could contribute to the ongoing spread of the virus across the country.
Senior doctors fighting the pandemic at the forefront have pleaded with Islamabad to reconsider its decision regarding the opening of mosques. They have warned of the fatal danger this poses, but to no avail thus far since their demands have largely fallen on deaf ears. Additionally, several doctors in the country have gone on a hunger strike to demand for basic personal protective equipment (PPE) from the state. The state has responded aggressively, and even baton-charged some doctors who were engaging in such protests. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has already warned that the number of Covid-19 cases in Pakistan could surpass the 200,000 mark by mid-July 2020, if current policies persist. Hence, one wonders why the government continues to insist that mosques can operate during a pandemic which has crippled the world.
Despite the rising number of coronavirus cases in the country, the federal government is adamant on its stance to further ease lockdown measures; for them, the adverse economic impact is far more dangerous than the virus itself. Yes, the economic experts and top financial institutions have forecast an alarming reduction in GDP growth figures for Pakistan in wake of the Covid-19 crisis. Yes, the weakest segments of society have been affected the most by the economic fallout due to the pandemic. But those in-command do not realise that the economy will not function, or even show signs of recovery, until and unless the virus has been effectively dealt with. At one point or another, the continued spread of this virus will bring economic activity to a halt once again. That is why European countries did not show any flexibility with their lockdown measures until the curve had flattened.
The mishandling of the situation at the Taftan border is already haunting Pakistan, the health sector is over-burdened and on the verge of falling to its knees before the almighty virus, and the governance structure is not well-equipped to deal with such a massive outbreak. As a result, the country is facing the ominous consequences of government delays and confusion in taking assertive policy actions. The total number of confirmed cases has now surpassed the 30,000 mark, and there are more than 650 recorded deaths. Unfortunately, the true number of cases is likely to be much higher given the low testing rates. Additionally, over the past few days, Pakistan has reported its largest daily spike in Covid-19 cases.
All this begs the question as to why Islamabad is allowing congregational prayers to take place across thousands of mosques in the country. Throughout most Muslim countries, governments, along with the backing of religious leaders, have shutdown places of worship to the public. But the Islamic Republic of Pakistan seems to be intent on carving its own path through the woods.

How To Impress A Girl


There might be thousands of ways to impress a girl, but to be honest it varies from person to person. Today, I'll write few things you can do to impress a girl. You might have come across a girl, at least once in your life, whom you liked a lot and wanted to talk and spend more time with her. You want to know her more and you want to impress her somehow so she can make you her priority. So here are some ways I'm listing down for you to impress a girl


1. Giver her RESPECT


Respect is a big word, everyone deserves respect but women are those humans who like being respected no matter what they do. Please don't jump into conclusion, am not being judgmental here but women like being respected. While communicating try to use words like "Please & thank you". Moreover, you can even try doing little things like, pulling the chair for her before she sits at the dinner table. Try not to look deeply into her eyes, instead look in the back ground while talking to her. This will give her a feel of being respected.


2. Bring her Presents


Women always love surprises, well who doesn't? anyways, as I was stating that women love surprises, every now and then try to bring something unique for her, but first find out what she likes. For example if she likes flowers, then bring her a rose with a chocolate. Try surprising her with new stuff.

3. Explore new places with her

If she is that type of girl who want to visit different places, then find new restaurants or sea side cafes where you both can enjoy a candle light dinner.


4. Give her compliments



This one is common, almost every girl in this universe like compliments. So try giving her compliments like, "you look beautiful today", "you look very pretty" etc. These compliments will make her feel good and she might give you a compliment back, which will obviously make you feel good too.



5. Be a good listener



Try to listen what she has to say, like do not just tell her your stories. Try to ask her how is she feeling today, or is everything okay? this will make her feel that you really care about her. You wanna know about her life and this will build trust between you guys and she might fall for you sooner than later.


So these were few ways to impress a girl, you might agree with some or disagree but it doesn't really matter as long as it works. Just make sure, you're applying these ways on your perfect girl. Be happy and stay blessed everyone.

As you have read my blogs about current issues that we all are facing. To those who follow my blogs, I would like to thank them for all the support. Now I want your suggestions for the topics and any thing interesting you might think that requires my attention.  I have some emotional topic for you today, that is on Ramadan Mubarak , yes I know it’s totally for muslims but I want you all to read it, non Muslims can also read and can also learn something.

Yes I don’t want to change your things & mind but all m trying to say is that every religion tells you some good things. so I’m just going to tell about what we are doing during Ramazan. Every year in Islamic calender a holy month of Ramadan comes which reminds us of our duties in this world. Why Allah created us and send us in the world for a special purpose, that is not to enjoy and doing party every day.
There is no cctv camera but He watches us every day in every second. Now you might be understanding what i’m trying to say, islam teaches us our basics rights and duties. So following this will give us a golden opportunity to say sorry to Almighty Allah and pray for magfirah, Jannah, hiddayat for all Muslim ummah.

If He gives us hiddyat I’m dam sure that we would be able to perform good deeds. As we all known we are in depression and dealing with all sorts of problems during these quarantine days. I have a some solution for all of you. We should pray five times a day, complete one quran shareef in this Ramadan, 30 days fasting, skip all bad habbits, respect every one and don’t try to break any one’s heart. May Allah be happy from us and will solve every problem.

We have a great example of hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) last prophet of Allah. Researches says if you read quran and offer namaz, no virus and disease can effect you. That’s my islam , every solution is provided in Holy quran .so read quran with tarjumah, remember everyone in your prayers. If you have suggestions so tell me in comments.

Facing Overseas Citizens


Yet, this complicated scheduling of emergency departures raises important questions, such as: who will foot the bill for such an undertaking? My flight back to the UK was scheduled for March 20th via Turkish Airlines. Although, at the time, the airline had made no official announcement of cancelling flights, a woman from the UK was stranded in Turkey on March 17th since the country placed a travel ban two hours before her flight to the UK departed. Therefore, I’m glad I didn’t risk flying out that day and rescheduled the flight to a new unknown date. In Pakistan, the lockdown rules were put in place on March 22nd. At that time, there were only a few cases here, which is why I was not initially worried. However, the number of reported coronavirus cases significantly spiked, which subsequently led Prime Minister Imran Khan to announce the ban on international flights. This cancellation of flights has taken place across the globe and, while necessary, has resulted in passengers being left to fend for themselves. As a result, the onus has fallen upon individual nations to help their citizens return back home. As a result, two special flights from Karachi and Lahore took 600 Canadians back to Canada earlier this month.
Now that flights to the UK are gearing up for departure over the next few days, many potential travellers are having to face a dilemma. Should only travellers without residency rights leave their current host country or should all outsiders exit? Many British Pakistanis have established second-homes in Pakistan, and only a few stay in hotels, while others choose to spend time with relatives. But, given the situation, it is not surprising that many British nationals holidaying in Pakistan want to leave as soon as possible if flights back home are available. However, prior to making this decision, it is imperative that these individuals find out about their access to healthcare facilities during and after the crisis, be it in Pakistan or in the UK.
Naturally, the hope for now is that the UK government will not abandon us but, currently, our future is in the hands of Pakistan’s authorities. That also means that we must follow the same obligations enforced upon the nationals of Pakistan and shouldn’t expect the government to make any exceptions for us just because we are foreign nationals if it comes at the cost of public health.
Furthermore, the fact that these charter flights are only flying to Manchester presents a problem for those travellers who reside in other parts of the country. Even if they manage to fly back to the UK, how exactly will they be transported back to their homes in other cities? As locals are unable to use their nation’s airports, foreigners are given special permission to depart. Which brings us back to the original question: what about the cost of these repatriation flights? For now, it seems that it is up to the individual traveller to check up on the schedule of these flights and pay a huge amount in advance in order to guarantee a seat. As a result, it has become far too expensive to return back home. Regardless, the initiative to have emergency chartered flights is praiseworthy. Additionally, there is a likely risk of being exposed to the virus whilst on the departure route home. This has put plenty of overseas Pakistanis in a state of flux, with many of them unsure as to what their next move should be. However, given the sheer extent of this pandemic, perhaps it is advisable for overseas Pakistanis currently in Pakistan to stay put, for now.

Oil Prices Impact Pakistan



The command that oil holds over the global economy was evident in 1973, when oil producing Arab nations restricted oil sales during the Yom Kippur war, thus resulting in oil prices quadrupling. Thus, the recent oil market crash leading to a 70% decline in oil prices from $70 per barrel to $20 per barrel is a cause for concern for a few while others, like Pakistan, breathe a sigh of relief. But in order to understand the ramifications of falling oil prices it is imperative that one grasps exactly how the oil market has been functioning for the past few years.

The oil producing nations are currently burning their currency reserves. This will impact their domestic politics and will affect the plethora of Pakistani labourers currently working in GCC countries and sending remittances back to Pakistan. America’s energy industry is also facing massive unemployment since most of the energy producers are incurring losses at the current oil prices. Russia, however, is relatively shielded because of its flexible currency and a lower budget break-even rate. Global oil demand will not recover unless the global lockdowns are lifted by June or July. The long term fair value of oil prices is now somewhere between $35-$40 per barrel. Hence, energy importing nations like South Korea, Turkey, India, Pakistan, Philippines and Bangladesh could reap the benefits of falling oil prices.
The fall in oil prices could lead to a reduction in electricity prices (if capacity payments are excluded), an increase in business profit margins, a lower inflation outlook, falling interest rates, cheaper air-fare and stagnant, if not falling, prices of food and other basic commodities. The government of Pakistan could benefit from lower imports, a stable Pak Rupee, higher foreign exchange reserves, lower financial costs, higher economic growth, and better employment opportunities and, eventually, an improvement in Pakistan’s geo-political standing. However, declining tax revenues should be off-set by a higher tax percentage on petroleum products as long as it is used for productivity enhancing human capital developments in the education and healthcare sector.
However, as stated earlier, there will be a decline in foreign remittances coming in from the Middle East, which is a blow to Pakistan. There will also be an increased downward pressure on Pakistan’s exports (due to the anemic economic growth worldwide), and reduced expenditures on oil imports (which will have a beneficial impact on Pakistan’s current account). As a result, the reduced inflation will also benefit the purchasing power of consumers, but not by much. The government should have a bottom range in mind after which the relief might not be entirely passed on.
Petrol prices in India, China and Turkey are much higher than they are in Pakistan. This is significant since previously China and other countries kept $40 per barrel as the threshold amount, hence, oil prices should revert back to $35-$45 per barrel once the global lockdown’s intensity reduces. But the current situation could prove to be beneficial for Pakistan since despite the temporary fall in exports and remittances, the declining oil prices can help ensure that Pakistan’s trade deficit remains at a manageable level.

Issues In Online Classes



As we all know that after corona-virus striked in Pakistan, one of the biggest problem that occurred was the studies and course curriculum of the students. So, the solution was to introduce online classes in schools, colleges and universities. Yes today, I’m going to tell you about online classes that are creating problems for students and teachers.  I will try to cover all types of problems, suddenly corona-virus entered school life first and the government closed down all universities and schools so the management of the educational institutes decided to convert physical classes into online classes.
                                   
I have been in talks with many teachers and students, the teachers told us that they can’t keep an eye on every student while giving online classes. Sometimes the internet not is working properly, software hanging problems, voice distractions, and many students asking questions at the same time are the major issues that they are facing right now.

Students are also facing many problems while taking online classes, like voice of the teacher not being clear, internet speed & not working properly, software problems, topics are not being understood easily etc. They said it affects our studies and will eventually effect our final exams.

So here we have many same problems and many different problems facing by Students and teachers. We tried to find a solution for it or give them some easy steps to overcome these problems. I have some suggestions for them like

·       Teachers can record the videos about the topic separately and then upload it on YouTube page or any other medium.

·       Teachers can also take weekly or daily test so that they can see how effective online classes are.

In Wuhan, China, educational activities have been started.
These are the precautions they are applying. What would be our stance on it?
