This is the time for Muslims to exercise patience as instructed by The Almighty yet every other thread in this section is filling up with sectarian venom and blame games. Agendas and ugliness on full display. So much hate and no compassion for even our own vulnerable people including pilgrim.
Time to take a break from PDF until this pandemic is over.

Take care of yourselves, your loved ones and your neighbors during these testing times. Speak soon Insha'Allah. Allah Hafiz.
I have strong reservation about Iran and Saudia regarding their respective roles in promoting and sponsoring sectarianism and terrorism in Pakistan, but this pandemic was destined to reach Pakistan one way or the other.
What is difficult for me to comprehend is that Islam of all religions is the only one which has promoted freedom of belief, respect for all other religion to the extent that it has forbidden calling someone false god as false.
Pakistani Shias are as much Pakistanis now as is any other even if their loyalties are more for Iran than Pakistan, going to Iran, Iraq and Syria is part of their belief system so why people finger point towards them only? Considering most of the areas in KPK where this disease has spread is due to the people returning back from Umrah bringing COVID-19 along them, the whole village as per customs visited them and the disease spread like anything.
So now we should be criticizing Umrah and people going for Umrah, criticizing the very foundation of our society where people participate in occasions of happiness and sorrow for each other, congratulate on people returning from Umrah or Ziaraat.
If there are things that should be criticized is then it is the rotten bureaucracy which is incompetent, characterless politicians both of whom failed to realize the disaster approaching and yet failed to take appropriate steps.
Iran as usual back stabbed us by pushing Pakistanis stranded on their side towards our border without testing them and yet telling us that they were tested, Army had no choice but to allow them to enter and hand over to civilian administrations, needless to say anything about civilian administration, Quarantine camps setup for people coming from Iran were not even suitable for animals.
If someone wants to learn about the efficiency of civil Govt handling COVID-19 in the most efficient way go read up about state of kerala.
Nutshell we are not an isolated Island in the middle of an Ocean, our people are not isolated introverts. This is not the time for blame game, it is time to support each other.
On an another note, people who are not doing anything for the society, not supporting people in need have time to gobble up fictional conspiracy stories and blame games. People like Maria B and husband, I always wondered what the B was for now I know for sure. Same kind of people, same kind of people.
