From the Editor

"Her stories are printed every week!"

"The Editor is related to so and so, that's why he has become a 'regular' contributor!"

And many more complaints like these are mailed to Us every week.

We believe you have also encountered such unwarranted allegations in the course of your academic or professional careers. Many of these stem from the green eyed monster called 'jealousy'. Sannia Akhter debuts with a cover story on jealousy, and hers is a story with a difference and a moral. Read it, folks, and let Us know what you make of our new 'irregular' writer's first story!

Then we have Awais in the Speak Out section with his 'Lights, Camera, Action! It's a Wedding!' We are sure his question at the end will get you thinking. Also, Us team demands to be invited to Awais' wedding to make sure he stands by his youthful noble ideas once he is in the filching business…. Oops! We mean once he becomes a full fledged doctor. Only after that will he get married!

Salman Latif is in his late teens, but is already nostalgic about the good ol' days. But we know that most of you will relate to his story.

Luavut Zahid is intent on developing the rapidly dwindling reading culture. Good luck to her!

In the end we have something to say to you all. Some of the letters that we have been receiving lately suggest that you people are bored by the cover stories that are being printed and want something new. So, why don't you mail Us your ideas for cover stories? Try to think of topics not been covered so far; as they say, think outside the box. And if you think your writing skills are good, you can also write a cover story on that topic. We will definitely entertain it if the idea is novel and it's executed nicely. Hurry up, start looking up…there are many issues that need your attention; just remember that those issues should not be clichéd.

Happy thinking!

Bye!



Reflection

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA):

Allah's Apostle (PBUH) ordered us to do seven things and forbade us from seven. He (PBUH) ordered us to visit the sick, to follow funeral processions, (to say) to a sneezer, (May Allah bestow His Mercy on you, if he says, Praise be to Allah), to accept invitations, to greet (everybody), to help the oppressed and to help others to fulfill their oaths. He (PBUH) forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink in silver (utensils), to use Mayathir (silken carpets placed on saddles), to wear Al-Qissi (a kind of silken cloth), to wear silk, Dibaj or Istabraq (two kinds of silk).

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 69, Number 539
