The progress of nations depends on the progress of knowledge. And the progress of knowledge depends on the
respect of the teacher. The greater the respect and rank of the teache the higher is the rank of knowledge.
Knowledge will progress and the country will develope. The nation that does not know the respect of the
teacher can never make progress.

Nations make progress on the basis of their thoughts. There has been no nation mentioned in history that got
high rank without its thoughts. The Muslims guided such a world as worshiped the phenomena of Nature.
And Man was devoid of every kind of confidence. He was not accustomed to understand life. The Muslims
gave such Man a new determination. And made him understand the secrets of the Universe.

No surprising event happens in the major part of life. If you donot enjoy getting up in the morning,having a
walk,doing your job in time,having meal with the members of family or friends it is most probable that you
can never be happy.If a person associates these pleasures with a bigger event such as a good and new
job,abundance of wealth, a flawless marriage or an excursion trip to Paris can also not be happy any longer.
But,if we learn to enjoy good breakfast,flowers of the lawn,a good drink or sleep it is possible that we can live
happy enough.

When doctor Livingstone was working in Afriqa, a group of his friends wrote to him"We want to send our
men to you.Is there any good road to your region?"A member of his family says that doctor Livingstone
wrote in reply"If your men can come here only for there is a good road there,I donot need them.I need such
men as are ready to come here even there is no road at all".

Previously,common people went to gardens and grounds to enjoy open atmosphere.Mostly, they were fond of
exercise and walk.Now there may be a few people who go out of city streets and roads to open atmosphere for
a walk or jogging.People are becoming idle.Many people like to stay at cinema and coffee house till late at
night.Infact, simple life with enough exercise is better than that with being seated all the time.We should
attend properly to our health.

Whenever I sit in my room and start readingI feel as if somebody,wearing a red dress, is watching me
through the window. When I look towards the window he disappears. A strange type of fear develops in my
heart.I have been searching for the man who watches me stealthly through the window for the last two
months . But, this problem was solved today at last. No sooner did I looked at the window when I saw a
branch, covered with red flowers, swaying out side the window

Education is not an objective in itself but a means of achieving an objective.In other words we donot educate
our children only for the purpose of education.Our objective is to prepare them for life.As soon as we realise
this fact we shall understand that it is very important that we should select such a systom for
education as prepare our children for constructive role in national life.

Education is being emphasized these days.It is being proved by arguments that gettin education is a great
objective in itself.But we forget that training is essential with the education also.Education is incomplete
without training.A man cannot be called educated without training.Training helps him in being a true man
that is why education and training are inseparable.

The distance between Pakistan and Banglah Desh is one thousand miles.But thier inhabitants are very close to
oneanother.Its reason is logical.A short time before all these people were called Pakistani and were proud of
being called Pakistani.They struggled together to get a country.But,soon the enemies developed
misunderstandings and the circumstances changed.And the eastern part of Pakistan became Banglah Desh.

It is certainly true that muscles of a common woman are weaker than that of a common man.Thousands of
years before when men lived in caves and hunted animals for their food,physical strength was very important.
But,now mind is important.Physical power is still needed but its wages are not good.Now,intelligence is very
important.

Formerly,the aeroplanes were a recreation for the rich people.But in the twentieth century they started
playing an important role in our life.Now,people and mail cover the distance in two or three hours which they
covered in weeks.In war days the aeroplanes were proved powerful for attack and were used for spying plans
of the enemy and dropping bombs successfuly.The stories of the brave pilots are popular.

Allama Iqbal was our national poet.He believed that islamic principles can cure all evils of the world.So,he
decided to put forward these principles before all people of the world.He was much worried to see that the
Muslims of the world were poor and backward.Once,the Muslims were successful in every field of life.They
got knowledge and spread it.They were respected.They were the rulers and were obeyed.Allama wanted the
Muslims to act upon islamic principles again.Only through this way, they can get their former nobility.

Last days I had to go Lahore.I was late for some reason and when I reached the station the train had
left.There was rush at the ticket window as usual.But the ticket vendor happened to be a friend of mine.I
knocked at the door of his room.The door opened.I said at once,"Please,give me a ticket for Lahore.The train
is about to leave".I was very surprised when the friend said,"Please,stand in the qeue.The ticket will be issued
on the turn".I was very angry at first,but soon I felt my selfishness.

Formerly,lands and cattle were considered symbols of wealth.Getting them by inheritance the land occupied
by every person became so much as the exteremities of land of other people joined with one another.Now
increase in land occupation meant deprivation of the other.Those ,who became poor for weakness or idleness
were forced to beg earning from the rich.It developed in them love to rule.

with revolutionary efforts in both fields.With this firstly;standard of life of individuals will rise and
secondly;Pakistan will inshaallah succeede in winning a respectable position in the commity of nations.

Haelth is wealth.A healthy mind can only develop in a healthy body.That is why it is very necessary that we
should take care of our physical health.If we develop punctuality in our habits it will certainly produce a good
effect on health.Without balanced diet and exercise good health is unimaginable.Inshort,life is enjoyable if
health is good.A diseased body removes all sweetness from life.

Process of election is a common thing in democratic societies.People elect their rulers through it.In addition
to national elections many societies and organisations get elections held.It is a way to know collective opinion
of the individuals of society.It works on the principle that some people may be wrong but majority
cannot.Elections ensure healthy democratic society.In war the most democratic country is always victorious.

people warm in cold countries.Fire is useful for us but it can be dangerous.If fire becomes out of control,it can
burn our books,clothes and destroy our home.Some people die because of burning by fire..Whenever we light
fire we should be careful.Make it sure that there are no inflamable things nearby.

The greatest advantage of early rising is that it provides agood start to day's work.An early riser gets many
works completed before another man gets up.Mind is fresh early in the morning and there is little noise and
sounds.So at that time one can complete one's work well.Often,the early risers can have time to take exercise
in fresh air.

ways.First of all,because of other things around him such as wild animals or the rocks which are
unclimbable.Second;his nature being a man.Disease can attack him and sooner or later he will face
death.when men live together,it is easy to be safe from wild animals.And they can work together to collect

are inhabitant of different continents.But they belong to one nation.They believe in One God and His last
Prophet(PBUH).They donot believe in distinction of colour and race.In Islam, neither a white man is
superior to a black man nor the rich is superior to the poor.Piety is the criterion of superiority in Islam.

both the winner and the loser enjoy the game.If the opponent is not of the same level victory is not the real
one.Life is a competitive examination either we like it or not.

himself.He was as unsuccessful in reaching the parliament as in earning his bread.But he was not
disappointed.The other people had reached the high position.He had also made his mind to get a high
position.He believed in one thing that the highest point is always vacant and that he must reach the highest
point.There is always room for the man who has a purpose in life,who is honest and has a faculty to think for

whenever he thinks about it.It is really miraculous for its complexity.

Youth is the time when seeds of character are sown.That is why one should be very careful in youth.Parents,
who are responsible for training of children,should give special attention to their children and should guide
them to virtue and goodness.If we have a good young generation we shall have a good name in the
world.Everybody will praise us.There will be clam and peace in the country and we shall be able to live a
peaceful life.

Our national ideology has a right towards us and that is we should protect it heart and soul.This can be done
by introducing our ideology to our young generation.The students should be told about its importance and
value.It should be protected against foreign influences.If we have to accept foreign aid,we should not accept
foreign thoughts and ideas with it.Political influence must not come with the aid.Above all,we should be
sincere with our national ideology and try to exalt it.

The Quaid-e-Azam is our national hero.He worked hard for the nation and Pakistan came into existance.He
died after about one year of the birth of Pakistan.This tragedy proved to be a great loss for Pakistan.His
untimely death produced such disorder in the nation as we are still feeling its effects.We must give a special
attention to the ideology of pakistan and act upon it strictly.

Not a single young man can think that he may die.It is possible that he thinks the other will die or he may
accept this fact that all the human beings are mortal.But, to his ownself ,he can not think about it.Youth
dislikes old age and death alike.The best solution to fear of death is man must keep in mind the fact that life
has an end as it has a begining.

Some birds are seasonal.They spend a season in one and the other in another region.For example,with the
oncoming of rainy season in Pakistan mangoes start ripening and cooing of the cuckoo is heard.The cuckoo
disappears with the end of the rains.The scientists put metal ring in claws of the birds and leave them.And
then find in ceratin season where these birds go.

endless river.Ocean is larger than the earth in its area.But there are islands in the ocean where trees grow
and people live and watch the sea everyday.Watching the ocean is fearful.But man has removed this fear by
sailing.The Pacific ocean is the largest ocean and its depth is eight miles down.

he himself was sitting cheerly.The king went near him and asked him jokingly,"O ,the old man!Either you or
your dog are better before Allah?"The holy man replied respectfully ,"If we obey our Lord we are better than
the dog otherwise;the worst."The holy man's reply had a deep effect on the king.It is said that this incident
revolutionised the king's life.

Askimos think polar bear a very precious thing because of its costly skin and flesh.A fine coat can be made by
its skin that is not only warm but water proof also.Askimos use hounds for bear hunting.As soon as the
hounds see the bear they make a circle around it.And start barking and growling.Sometimes they advance
and attack on it.A single blow of the bear can divide the dog into two pieces.

Our real home is the earth but we have learnt to travel in sea and air also.to travel in sea was not very
difficultbecause wood,that is found at many places near the sea,can float on water very easily.But traveling in
air was a different thing because man did not know any thing that could stay in air and lift man's weight.That
is why travel in air remained a dream for centuries.In modern age this great dream came true.Man invented
such big machines,in a short time of fifty years,as can thousand of travellers from one place to the other.

Once upon a time there lived a wise old man in a little village.Although he was very rich yet he was very
unhappy.Because he had three sons who always quarrled with one another.He had advised them many times
but it had no effect on them.Once he fell very ill and he felt that he was near death.So he called for his sons
and said them to bring some sticks.He tied them into a bundle and asked his sons to break it.But they could
not break it.Then,he untied the bundle and gave them the sticks which they broke easily.In this way the old
man taught them to unite.

Every inventer invents scientific inventions for the service of humanity.That is why science is basically for the
service of humanity and if a person or a country makes abuse of these scientific inventions,there is no fault of
science or the scientist.To explain it we can take example that fire is a useful thing.We can entertain a friend
by cooking food with it and we can also burn his house by it.There is no fault of fire in it.In this way scientific
inventions have revolutionised our life.And it is admirable.The blame of abuse of these inventions is on that
person or the nation who harms humanity with these inventions.

Prophet(PBUH). He was a slave and he had to bear many troubles from his master. He made him lay on hot
sand, placed heated stones on his chest and ordered him to abandon the new religion. At last, Hazrat Abu

The examination method is the greatest draw back of the present education system.Many people say that
ability can be judged by the success in the examination.If we think over it, we can see many draw backs in
it.If we look at an examination paper, we see that there are a few questions out of a score of pages of a
book.If a lucky one prepares them, he is surely successful.

When I was a child, a boy named Raja lived in a house next to mine.One day , he got some match sticks
which he started playing with. The fire, he started, burnt many houses of which his own house was one.One
day, his father commited a crime and was caught.So, Raja was left alone because his mother had already died
when he was just a child.Later on, Raja became very rich but he was always worried.

Culture of nations can be judged by their architecture.Minarets have a special importance among the
buildings that the Muslims built in their rising age.Minarets are of many types. Some Minarets in Spain are
rectangular.But, the minarets in Iran and Central Asia take a conical shape.The buildings of the Muslims are
a fine example of beauty, grandeur and uniformity.

When the little girl saw the bird flying, she was very surprised.She asked her mother if she could fly.The
mother shook her head.The girl saw dreams all the night--the dreams of flying with the birds--and smiled in
the dream.When she got up in the morning, she said to her mother, Mother, I can fly." The mother asked,
How?" The child replied, In dream."

The father brought his son to school.The son was five years of age. The teacher put his hand on the child's
head with affection and said,"Baby, have you come to read?"The father had brought sweets with him that
were distributed among the children.After that, the child was made to sit on earth so that he might start his
journey to knowledge.Neither there are such manners,now, nor sweets are distributed.

The Moon is the smallest of the celestial bodies which can be seen from the Earth.As it is nearer to the Earth,it
looks bigger than the others except the Sun.The Moon completes its round around the Earth in about one
month as the Earth completes its round around the Sun in one year.But, the Earth also completes its round
around its own axis in twenty-four hours; that results in creation of the Day and the Night.The Moon takes a
month to complete its round around its axis ,that is why, its only one side always remains before the Earth.

He had been in conflict with many people and this conflict lasted for a long time.But he always fought for
principles.He was firm in his beliefs and principles.If some one did wrong,he did criticise him no matter how
much he liked him.If some one did right,he did admire him even if he was his enemy.He did justice with every
one.He did not hate men but their foolies, lies and meanness.Such was the Quaid-e-Azam of ours .

After nine years of preaching of Islam, the Holy Prophet wished to go to Taif.It was a green hilly area in the
desert.The holy Prophet went there with the hope that the tribes of Taif would listen to him because they
were famous for their hospitality and civilized manners.But he had to face different situations there.They
jeered at him and made him leave the city. But there had been not a little change in his tolerance and
forbearence.

dungeon.when I entered the school ,the faces of the boys looked me terrified and the
teachers;grieved,careworn and pale.I hated both of them except me because I could not see my own face
which would be as much detestable as theirs.

The man who becomes poor tries to hide his poverty.He feighns that he is still wealthy.He buys cheap things
from shops and hides them in his pocket or a cloth bag.He shows such a ridiculous behaviour so that the
others may not laugh at him.It is true that people do not understand our troubles.They start comparing
people and do not think that every one has his own problems.

After the martyrdom of Sultan Tipu ,there was no one, among the Muslims of the subcontinent, serious to
defend against the British Imperialism.Inspite of that, the Muslims never accepted slavery mentally.A time
came when Islamic movements among the Muslims started getting strength.With their result,at last, Pakistan
came into being and we were completely free to live our lives according to our cherished traditions.

Man can do good deeds no matter he belongs to any field of life.A soldier in the barracks or in the battle field,
a simple house wife or a nurse working in the hospital, a merchant at a shop,a school boy or an inventor
working in the workshop--no one is exempted from it.Doing a good deed gives happiness not only to the doer
but also to one it is done for.Recalling the good deed develops emotions of love and benevolence .It restores
man's trust in humanity and develops,in the others, motivation to do the good.Goodness based on sacrifice.

biting a deadly sin.He never sold his opinion at any cost.Although he liked solitude since begining yet he
welcomed every one.He talked to every visitor according to his ability.

In the age of ancient Romans and Greeks, beautiful buildings were built to use for public saloons.People not
only went there to have a bath but also to meet and chat with their friends.Some big saloons were divided
into different parts.some rooms were hot and some were cool.Some had steam and in some, there were
arrangements for swimming.The Romans surprisingly heated their rooms by the hot air pipes.These pipes
were installed under the floor and the walls.

Now a days, in big cities, water is used once and then, it is drained out by drainlines.From there,at last, it
reaches the sea again or goes to the under ground water resources.But, it is possible to send it to water
treatment plants.There it should be filtered or treated with chemicals so that it may be used again like fresh
spring water.

Our curriculum needs change.But, changing the teacher's mind is more necessary.Even the best books can not
be useful unless the teachers teach them rightly.Some teacher have no knowledge.Some are able but they are
miser intellectually.Some teachers do teach but they do not prepare children for the examination.

In the country,commodities of life are becomming dareday by day.Since last thirty-five years,every
government has been trying to reduce dareness.But, sorry to say,dareness has increased instead of getting
down.Some strict steps will have to be taken to reduce dareness.In this way dareness can be reduced to some
extent.It is the first and foremost duty of the government to analyse why the costs of commodities of life are
rising continuously.If the government use its all resources, the root causes of dareness can be known.After
that,proper steps can be taken to reduce these root causes.

is said that there is perfume of knowledge in this building.And whosoever stays here is intoxicated by this
perfume.That is why, all of them respect it.

Our English teacher entered the class room with a stick in his hand.We showed him our home work.I also
took my torn note-book and went to his desk.He read my written sentences with furious eyes.He wrote down
with red pencil, ''Wrong Grammar".He oftenly wrote down such remarks in my note-book.I never forgot
it.Now, I have written down and completed a book on English Grammar.When it is published,I shall send a
copy of it to that teacher and thank him for his written remarks also.

Whatever we do is called our deed.Our deeds can be good and bad.When we do any legal or proper thing,our
deed is called good and considered right and whenever we are involved in any illegal or improper thing,our
deed is called wrong and bad.If this deed is against any law,it will be called crime and it will be
accountable.God has blessed us with mind and awareness so that we may discriminate between right and
wrong.Our religious principles also guide us for the conduct in every field of life.Reward and punishment for
every deed is essential element of our life.Either our deed is good or bad, we will be accountable for it; in this
life and the after life.This is the essence of our belief.

It is the age of science.The invention of science has so much changed our life as if a man from the last
century happens to come in a city, he will take our world for wonder land.The work which people did with
their hand a few years before is now being accomplished eagerly by the big machines.Similarly , many
facilities have devleoped in the field of travelling.The journey that was commuted in years and months is now
covered within days and hours.Now, man has reached the Moon.And the day is not far when man will reach
the other planets.Who knows that some day regular transport between our world and the other planets may
begin.
