The Greens craze for Cricket!

Ever since I can remember, people have spoken about the Miandad’s “chakka” 

“A target of 246”

“The sacred Sharjah ground”

“Women and children prayed”

“One wicket remained”

It was the last ball of the final over and six runs were needed to win.

Miandad hit the winning six and was forever immortalized winning the hearts of an entire nation.

Cricket is a love story, a baffling relationship, one that tugs at your heart, crushes and then serenades you all over again. The love you try relentlessly to give up on, the one you know you’re always going to run back to. Pakistan cricket has shattered us and then put us back together more times than I can remember.

Pakistan is a country, where all over at the present time it is observed that everyone is going passionate about this game cricket. Despite the fact, that the national game of Pakistan is hockey but still more people here prefer watching cricket rather than hockey as they find cricket more interesting game. Whether the cricket match is concerning IPL series, test matches or T-20 world cup. In support of this game not only boys are getting crazy but everyone is including girls as well. One advantage of the cricket is that it unites entire nation as one and all thinks positive for their country and pray hard for Pakistan to win the match in the end. All think that it’s a ONE NATION and all are supporting for ONE GAME. This way the best thing is that they spread the message of love and peace in the country.

 

We believe in the power of cricket, the glue it serves. We place unrealistic expectations and an immense amount of pressure on the men we consider our heroes. There is no secularism, no terrorism; there is only jazba and the sole unifying purpose to take down the men in blue. Perhaps the responsibility they shoulder is unfair, perhaps emotionally investing ourselves in a game will only lead to future health problems but nothing in the world compares to a victory so beautifully scripted in the most dramatic fashion.

You dont have to be a cricket fan to understand what the victory for the people of Pakistan. You dont need to know a single rule of the game. All you have to do is hear the frantic prayers and witness the tears, the anguish, the heartbreak, the love and the pure unadulterated joy.

HASSAN AHMED

(age 21)

Allah ho Akbar! The very first words that a Muslim child is blessed with. It’s said that azan is followed by a salat. For this azaan the salat is the funeral of that child and time between the azaan and salat is life.

Every day that we live with these hi tech technologies the world is now a much smaller place, the movies and social network and the Internet have shown us the places that we have never been to. This so-called wonderland known as the west, attracts us to its beautiful architecture and the amazing infrastructure. Accept the fact that we all dream to visit it once in our lifetime.

I Hassan Ahmed had performed omra thrice and now wanted to visit the land of the queen. I was very excited got ready all set and I was off to London with friends.

 

Being a teenager I was looking to party have fun but trust me when you are away from home and you think that you are away from Allah too that is the time you started thinking about Allah. Your mind is forced to think with thousands of different aspects that one couldn’t imagine before. I was never fond of better CGPA or a better result card and the end, what I wanted was that I could learn and I could actually seek some thing, which was worth a million hearts.

The land of the queen was just another turn for me in my life I realize that the people were so attached to this place because its significant history and architecture. I actually wished that I could show these people some thing, which actually takes your breath away that is the land of Allah. One word and all the people bow in front of the creator. No matter from which state you belong to what language you speak, just one word from the imam will make you united, organized and disciplined than any other. This trip brought me closer to Allah, I could remember the ayat from the quran where Allah tells us that this world is a place of betrayal, its fake and it is not to last. The only reality is that you have to return back to Allah.
