First there was no electricity, then there was no water and atlast but not least, there was no gas in (few) major and (most of the) minor areas of Lahore. That is how 2007 ended and 2008 started. The shortage of basic food ingredients resulted in “Price Shoot up”. The crime rate is increasing. The poverty is prolonging. But; we have to look at the bright side which states that;
This is the only method of preparing the whole nation (at once) for any state of war. Because during war times, whole nation has to suffer with the disturbances in infrastructure; with already disturbed infrastructure, things will become easy at difficult times…..
So please accept the current pathetic situation with this bright side in mind…
Please go to Quran and read it in the language you understand the best, for correct picture of everything.

Message 73 (Fortotten and Forgetting)
These are the famous two confusing terms Forgotten and Forgetting. Let me try to clarify this confusion. Sometimes we forgot, but remember that we have forgotten. On the other hand, sometimes we even forgot that we have forgotten.
Suppose you have given debt to your close friend. You won’t ask him for your money again and again as he is your close friend. After sometime, when you will remind him of the debt and he may reply, “Oh sorry, I almost forgot”, which means that he remembered, he was forgetting (which is actually your good luck). But suppose if you ask your money back after a long time, he may reply, “What money? When?”, Now there could be two possibilities, either your friend is lying (which I neglect, because he is your close friend) or he may have “Forgotten that he is Forgetting”.
This situation of “I have Forgotten, that I am Forgetting” is worst as compared to single “Forgot”, which can be remembered. Hence it creates even worst situations. We Muslims, mostly, as a society, have actually forgotten that we are forgetting something. I am sure my point will be clear upto this point. That “something” is the teachings of Quran. We have forgotten that we are forgetting the duties which were given to us as a Muslim nation and as a Muslim individual. Let us hope for the best.
