MY PRAYERS (DUWA) FOR PAKISTAN

URL - http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-prayers-duwa-for-pakistan.html

As an Indian American, and as a Pluralist, I had always wished a stable and sustainable democracy for the people of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The golden rule for living is, you wish for others what you cherish it yourselves. This is a joyful event for all of us in the subcontinent.

For the first time in their 67 years of history, a smooth democratic transition is happening today, the people of Pakistan are freely electing their representatives to govern. We, the community of nations, congratulate the people of Pakistan for the exercise of their freedom. This hopefully would be a model to other Muslim majority nations to follow.

Please join me in a prayer to ask God to make this transition sustainable, and may God make this as peaceful as possible. May God bring peace and prosperity to every Pakistani, be it a Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Sikh, Muslim Sunni, Muslim Shia, Muslim Ahmadi, Muslim Ismaili, Muslim Bohra, Zoroastrians, the tribals and all others.

May God give the courage to every Pakistani to stand up for each other, and may Justice become the core of the new government.

God bless Pakistan, Amen!

Pakistan Paindabad.

Fellow Americans, please vote for your local representatives today in the Muncipal elections, today is the last day to vote.

Mike

Hindu Minorities in Pakistan

The following video is about the religious minorities in Pakistan, it has highlighted the Hindus and shared glimpse of Sikh and Christian life. I watched it with sadness, and felt their anguish. When the lady said, she is with the Swami Narayan Temple in Pakistan, my first thought was my sister Vina Dave and her raksha.

The civility of a nation and her people is reflected by how the minorities are treated. The Hindus, Christian, Ahmadiyya, and the Shias need to feel safe, if not, it is a reflection on every Pakistani. The least you can do is to speak up. When more of you speak up, it builds a momentum.

When you justify a crime against a people and look the other way, be it in Pakistan, India, Israel, America, Arabia or Russia, you have become an accessory to that crime yourselves. It's like not calling 911 when you see a crime.

Shame on the arrogant majoritarian attitudes; where the minorities have to feel insecure and frightened. Have you considered yourselves as an evil person? I am talking about all nations including ours.

It is a shame that a few among us (people of all religions) chop God into bits and pieces and claim ownership of it. I honor the full God, not the Muslim God, not the Hindu God, and not the Christian God, but the wholesome God that belongs to all of us. Think about this, do we allow God to be God of every one? Do we not control him? Do we not use his shoulders to shoot our hate from?

No matter how you worship, what you call that thing, loves us all without discrimination. The fact that every human finds air to breath, water to drink and food to eat, shows the greatness of God. I hope, as Muslims, Hindus, Christians and others, we don't mess with God and make a villain out of him and do the wrong things in his name.

Please watch and share this to reflect and not to condemn.

The World Muslim Congress is committed to nurturing the pluralistic ideals embedded in Islam.

oncerned by the divisiveness, he saw the need to bring Americans together and founded America Together Foundation committed to building a cohesive America, indeed it is in response to ACT America which is bent on pitching one American against the other. We will be holding series of educational programs, conferences and workshops to address the issues that divide us such as Civil Right, GLBT, Quraan, Abortion, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Racial Profiling and Stereotyping.

The Annual Unity Day USA is in its 7th year now, it is a purposeful event to bring Americans together, on this Unity Day, we the people of the United States of America of every faith, race, ethnicity, culture and background will gather to express our commitment to co-existence, unity, prosperity and wellbeing of our nation.

Thanksgiving Celebration is in its 15th year showcasing cultural diversity.

The 5th Annual Reflections on Holocaust and Genocides is to learn and to acknowledge and reflect upon the terrible things we have inflicted upon each other and commit to avert such tragedies. Through this event non-Jewish people have consciously learned about Holocaust for the first time, it was also for the first time that people of 14 faiths came together to join in to commemorate the Holocaust that commemorated within the Jewish Community for years. They are not alone anymore in their anguish, we are all in it together with them, and it is a Muslim initiative to effect a positive change.

The programs, seminars and workshops conducted by the Foundation for Pluralism have become a part of the America Together Foundation. While the Foundation for Pluralism continues championing the idea of co-existence through respecting and accepting the otherness of other, the commitment to nurturing the pluralistic ideals embedded in Islam through the World Muslim Congress continues.
