You only grow old when you stop dreaming. Wrinkles and gray hair don’t define age. Some people grow rich in their youth but become bankrupt in their old age, while some grow super-rich and super-famous in their later years. Your wrinkles and grey hair should not discourage you. These things don’t make you truly old. You become old only when you stop dreaming and struggling. You are not an egg; you are a human being—and human beings, unlike eggs, don’t expire fast. There are thousands of examples in the world of people who became rich or famous after the age of fifty. So, don’t listen to the ignorant and remember: you are as many years old as you think you are—not what your birth certificate or fools tell you. Here is a list of notable individuals who became extremely wealthy—often reaching millionaire or billionaire status—after the age of 50.  Harland Sanders (Colonel Sanders): At 62, Sanders franchised Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in 1952, using his Social Security checks...

  I treat my wife as an employee I cannot fire.—Albert Einstein  Albert Einstein’s first wife, Mileva Marić, was not just his spouse but also his intellectual companion—a love story that began with brilliance and ended in heartbreak.   How They Met: A Love Born in Physics   In 1896, young Albert and Mileva met at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich where they were both studying physics. Mileva, one of the few women in a male-dominated field, was sharp, ambitious and deeply passionate about science. Albert was drawn to her intellect, and their bond grew over shared equations, long walks and dreams of unraveling the universe’s secrets. Their love letters reveal deep affection—Albert once wrote, "How happy and proud I will be when the two of us together have brought our work on relative motion to a victorious conclusion!"  Their Children: Joy and Tragedy   They had three children:   1. Lieserl (1902) – Born before marriage, her fate rem...

  امام بخاری کی دردناک موت !   ہر غلطی کی سزا ملتی ہے۔ چھوٹی چھوٹی غلطیوں کی چھوٹی سزا جلدی اور بڑی بڑی غلطیوں کی بڑی سزا کچھ دیر بعد ملتی ہے۔ مسلم دنیا کا ایک ہیرو ہے جنہیں عام لوگ امام بخاری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کے نام سے جانتے ہیں۔ آپ نے جب 846 عیسوی میں بخاری شریف مرتب کی ، تو پہلے انہیں دنیا میں بہت زیادہ عزّت ملی۔ لیکن بعد میں حدیثوں کے دشمنوں نے آپ کا جینا اتنا تنگ کر دیا کہ وہ اللہ تعالیٰ سے وفات کی دعائیں کرنے لگے۔ جہاں جاتے، لوگ انہیں تکلیف دیتے۔ جب انہیں نیشاپور سے نکالا گیا، تو وہ بخارا چلے گئے۔ وہاں سے نکالا گیا، تو سمرقند کا رخ کیا۔ اور جب سمرقند سے بھی نکالا گیا، تو آپ راستے میں ہی تھکاوٹ کی وجہ سے وفات پا گئے۔ مسلمانوں نے آج تک اپنے کسی ہیرو کے ساتھ انصاف نہیں کیا، لیکن اللہ تعالیٰ تو انصاف کرنے والے ہیں؟ اللہ تعالیٰ نے مسلمانوں پر اتنا سخت عذاب نازل کیا کہ نیشاپور کو 1221 عیسوی میں، بخارا کو 1220 عیسوی میں اور سمرقند کو بھی 1220 عیسوی میں منگولوں نے تباہ و برباد کر دیا۔ حکمرانوں اور عام لوگوں کو منگولوں نے دوڑا دوڑا کر مار دیا۔  مسلمانوں سے گزارش ہے کہ وہ...

The Three Major Creedal Schools of Sunni Islam: Ashʿari, Māturīdī and Athari    [ أنَّ العامي لا مذهبَ لہ — A layman has no Madhab] Introduction    There are four surviving fiqhi schools in Islam—Hanafi, Maliki, Shafiʿi and Hanbali—and three creedal schools—Athari, Maturidi and Ashʿari. Extinct schools of fiqh (jurisprudence) : Awzāʿī School, Thawrī School , Zāhirī School,Laythī School, Jarīrī School (Madhhab al-Jarīrī or Ṭabarī School), Ṭabarī School etc.  In Sunni Islam, theological disputes over divine attributes, free will and the role of reason in faith led to the formation of distinct creedal (aqidah) schools.

This article explores their origins, key doctrines, differences, prominent scholars and foundational texts. Additionally, we will briefly examine the creedal school followed by Shia Mu...
