A king of china(essay)

Muhammad Asim Javed Chughtai at 6:36 PM No comments:

Kublai khan
Kublai Khan a famous Mongol Emperor who ruled Cathay (China) round about 12.60. His kingdom was as great a power in the East as China is today a big world power.
Marco Polo served Kublai Khan for seventeen years. He was appointed a surveyor by him and was asked to prepare a report about the conditions of various cities of his kingdom. From Marco’s account of his travels we get a graphic picture of Kubli Khan.
According to him Kublai Khan was of a middle stature. He had a white complexion with black eyes. His personality was extremely impressive and appealing. He was kind to his subjects and received gifts from them at the time of feasts. He was, indeed very fond of feasts. He received the travellers and scholars with open arms which enhanced their respect and prestige . He also knew
how to defend his country from enemies for this reason had fortified his Capital, Peking against any invasion .
He was not only a good general but was also a good administrator.He knew how to get something done out of different people. Capable people. This is why he had appointed Marco, a foreigner, as a surveyor. He was commanding in every respect and possessed all the qualities of a good leader. Once Marco Polo saw a lion without chins bowing with all humility before him. He was greatly impressed by the dignity of the king and calls him the lord of lords. He was not a Chiristan himself but appreciated the teaching of the Holy Christ. He also asked for hundred missionaries, so that they could preach for their religion in his kingdom. This means, he had a great religious tolerance. In short, Marco Polo is all praise for Kubla Khan.

The dogs as domestic animals

The dogs as domestic animals.

The dog is a pet animal. It is faithful and useful. It has many varieties. The bull terrier is very ferocious to look at. The most common pet in our homes is the ‘Alsatian’ a large wolf-like dog.

The faithfulness of the dog is proverbial and there are many stories about it. The most typical example is narrated by the author in the account of his pet dog, Rex, who was an American bull-terrier. He did not die, until he kissed the hands of all his masters. When he found that his third master was away, he waited for him, and fought against his death. When he arrived he touched his hand with the muzzle, fell down and died.

The dog is a very clever and intelligent animal. This is why he is trained and used by the police and the armed forces for different tasks. He helps the police and also serves as a night watch-man. He does not spare the thieves and prowlers at night and barks at the strangers and suspects. He is a great friend of the farmers, washermen and Gypsies. The hunters use the hounds for the hunting purposes.

In the West pet dogs are a common sight. The lap dogs look very beautiful and children and ladies are usually very fond of them.The dogs are also trained to rescue drowning men. They are capable of lifting weights from one place to another. The dogs also convey messages. They are fond of the company of man and those who keep them as pets treat them like members of their family. The dog is indeed a great friend of man. But the only draw back in keeping the dog at home is that he often suffers from a terrible disease called ‘hydrophobia. This makes him go mad and then he starts biting everyone. This disease attacks the nervous system directly and the victim dies in a miserable way. This is why when a dog bites, extra care is taken. Thanks to Louis Pasteur who
discovered the treatment of this disease. It can be cured, but still all possible precaution must be taken in advance.

A VILLAGE FAIR

Muhammad Asim Javed Chughtai at 8:50 AM No comments:

A VILLAGE FAIR

Fairs are the most popular form of entertainment in the country - side People who work hard in their fields all the year round certainly need and deserve some rest and recreation. It is a fair that provides them r ’ief from hard work, and brings them an opportunity to enjoy themselves to their-heart’sgpntent They forget their cam's*, leave their daily labour and throw themselves in the fun and frolic" of a fair Children and women are especially fond of fairs For them it means that there will be shops, entertainments, and perhaps a theatre.
Fairs have become a characteristic part of rural life, some are held to celebrate the memory of somersaults; others are associated with the seasons.
I remember going to a fair when I was a boy of fourteen. I still have clear memories of that glorious time. It was held at a place half-way between our village and the nearby town.
One morning my friends and I left our homes and took the road to the fair. We were still at a distance when we heard the beat of drums and the chime'* of bells. We quickened our pace and in a short time reached the fair-ground.
What a sight it was! We found ourselves in a big crowd of people, all in their best colourful clothes. They were in high spirits. They laughed and shouted, sang and danced. None was standing still, all were moving as if they wanted to see everything in the fair as quickly as possible.
The sweetineat-seller’s stall attracted a large group of people. They were shouting their orders at the top of their voices. As soon as they got what they wanted, they were on the move again
The children crowded round a toy-seller who sat on the ground with his toys spread before him He was announcing' the names of the toys and their prices in a singsong voice. A little further there was a merry-go- round The happy, excited cries of the children filled the air Nearby 'a juggler was showing his tricks.
While we stood there, we heard a loud shout, "Come one, come all— see the wonder of wonders, half man-half monster1come and see "We turned round and saw the announcer standing before a tent, .We wont in and saw the wonder of wonders1
In the evening there were games—Kabaddi, wrestling, and races. As the contestants' matched their skill' and strength in the arena, their supporters* shouted and encouraged them. When the games ended, the Ch airmail of the District Council gave away the prizes.
It was almost night when we returned home—we. were tired and dusty, but we were happy.

bunds flood vacation villages

A RIVER IN FLOOD

Muhammad Asim Javed Chughtai at 8:47 AM No comments:

A RIVER IN FLOOD

Last year, I spent a part of my summer vacation with a friend in his village It was a small village situated on the bank of river Chcnab There were two protective1 bunds fifteen feet high all round the village They were strong bunds and had always saved the village from the floods.
It Was the month of August. The rains had set in The river was in low flood. There was a grove2 of trees near the river Every day we went there to spend the afternoon and the evening in cool comfort.
One afternoon, we noticed that the water in the river was rising. In an hour, it had overflowed the banks. We ran back to the village and told the people that the river was in flood. I was told that there was nothing to worry. The two bunds were strong enough to protect the village In the evening, the sky was completely covered with thick black clouds Soon it began to rain in torrents ~ It continued upto the early morning.
As soon as the rain stopped we went to the river. From quite, a distance we could hear the roaring waters. The land on both the banks was under deep water. Only the rapidly* moving curpent of water showed the proper place of the river. The water was lashing against the bund. It was rising every moment. It was already some ten feet high.
On the other side of the river there was no bund. I looked hard to find the two tiny villages that stood only a furlong from the river. I could not see them. The flood had swept them before it. Later, I was told that the inhabitants1 had left before the flood reached there. Now we were very much worried. It appeared that the first bund would not withstand the angry flood for long. The trees on the bund had already fallen. The water was eroding*the bund rapidly. We rushed back to the village.
All the people gathered in the school ground. It was decided that the women and cltildreh should be sent to a nearby village which was situated on a hillock,. The me.U were asked to get shove Is f axes and baskets and report at the second Bund. They began to dig earth and reinforce the
bund to protect the village if the first one was breachedl-. The roar of the river filled the air My eyes were fixed on the other bund.
Suddenly, I saw water rushing towards us The first bund had given way at many points. Fortunately, the area between the two bunds was very low. In a short time it looked like a big lake. When the water struck the bund we were standing by, it had spread and spent its force. Its level was now only five feet high. Most of us spent that night in a state of fear. But the next day brought us good news. The water was receding.

principle of the Islamic spheres trade

ECONOMIC JUSTICE IN ISLAM

Muhammad Asim Javed Chughtai at 8:46 AM No comments:

ECONOMIC JUSTICE IN ISLAM

Islam is the only religion that includes1 all spheres of human life and human activity. Why docs it not just give us instructions about praying and fasting, and leave us free in other matters of life? The answer is clear: Islam aims at coating a just society of human beings in which there is no exploitation3 of the weaker by the strong.
Islamic system of social organisation is entirely different from the systems developed by communism and capitalism. On the one hand it does not accept the principle of the unlimited right of the individual to acquire, own and use wealth as he likes and on the other it rejects the philosophy of the complete statc-ownership of all means of production.
Both capitalism and communism create unjust societies in which one section of the society has all the advantages\ Capitalism gives the individual freedom of action in all matters but this freedom works in the favour of the rich. The poor have only the freedom of speech .and starvation. Communism guarantees the individual’s freedom from
starvation but deprives him of all other freedoms.
One very important principle of the Islamic system of social and economic justice is the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate8 sources of earning money. Islam does not give its followers a general license to earn money through any means. It sets up a clear distinction between fair means and foul means of earning. All those means that enable an individual to profit at the expense of another are immoral. Only those means of earning are fair that ensure the mutual benefit of individuals, and thus that of the whole society.
The Holy Quran says: “O people who have accepted the faith do not seize one another’s property by unfair means. Trade is, however, permitted which benefits both of you...?” Trade means' exchange of goods]1 and services. I{ can benefit both the parties only when it is conducted without any fiiksi without any pressure from any side. If one
party has all the trum'psf' and the other none, the trade between them is not trade but exploitation"
There arc other verses' in the Holy Quran that define sources of ill-gotten wealth: usurpation', briber)', misuse of private and public wealth and property, - gambling, usury and preparation, sale and transportation of alcoholic drinks and goods that promote immorality.
Another important principle of the Islamic economic system is the prohibition of the hoarding" of even legitimately earned wealth. The Holy Quran promises severe punishment to those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it for Allah's purposes.
This verse also gives us the third principle of the economic system of Islam, i.e., the spending of wealth. A Muslim is not free to spend his wealth as he pleases. He is clearly enjoined to spend it for Allah’s purposes, i.e., to promote the welfare of the less fortunate members of the Muslim society.

Environmental Pollution

Environmental Pollution

Outlines:

1.          What does pollution mean?
2.          Man and society.
3.          Causes of pollution.
4.          Pollution in developing countries.
5.          Conclusion.
             The world "pollute means to destroy the purity of things. To make everything dirty. Pollution, today, has become which is destroying the purity of the air, the seas and the land, threatens the survival of living things.

Man is a social animal and he has to fit into the society. There should be a balanced relationship between him and his environment. He is dependent upon other forms of life, upon corn and upon animal flesh and must learn to respect nature and the earth.

Pollution is the result of reckless science and violent technology. It is more visible in its various forms in the advanced societies of the West. It can be seen in the indiscriminate cultivation of land, the destruction of forests and in the extermination of active species. The massive use of pesticide and herbicides is poisoning the ecosystem of the earth. Industrial wastes and automotive emission represent a major and perhaps lasting hazard to life.

Atmospheric pollution as a result of emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides and hydrocarbons has become the subject of growing concern and has led to increasing pressure for restrictions on the burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that currently more than 20 million tons of carbon dioxide are being released in the atmosphere in this way every year. The discharge of these air pollutants is infecting river, lakes and oceans.

Concern for the environment is no longer confined to western man. With the widespread use of technology, the evils of the industrial system with its emphasis on mass production and the profit motive, have begun to manifest themselves in the countries of the Third World as well. In this sense the whole world is now is process of westernization. The difference is only that of degree.

The word "pollution" has entered the vocabulary of the developing countries and people are paying more attention to its causes and consequences.

Pakistan has high rate of population growth. More mouths to feed compel increase in production and result in more and more industrialization. All the factories give off smoke and gases as part of their normal operational and have harmful effect on the health of the people living in the surroundings.

Very often these chemical poisons are carried for miles in the air and pollute the atmosphere. The Taj mahal at Agra is already suffering the ugly effect of the fumes emanating from the industrial complex in its vicinity. When buildings have bad effects of pollution, what will become or human beings.

If pollution is not checked, the sold and liquid wastes discharged in the rivers and canals would endanger marine, animal and human life. This factor is of grave concern because Pakistan depends on its waterways for the fulfilment of so many of its needs.

The confused roaring vehicular traffic preys upon the nerves and robs the citizen of his basic right to rest and peace. Auto rickshas, buses and trucks leaving dark trails of carbon monoxide are a common sight in the big cities of the country. Unfortunately, we have no noise abatement society or agency to curb such pollution.

The problem of pollution and other environmental hazards vex the minds of thoughtful people. Time is ripe for the formulation of a new morality which would readjust our distorted notions about technology and industrialism. Man must establish and maintain a beneficial relationship with the rest of nature. All activities which pollute the earth or waste its resources must be curtailed. If we fail to accept a new morality, we are doomed to frustration.
