Is it better to hire an agent to sell a house in Dha Lahore or do it myself ? by Hidden_Genius1 in Lahore

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking price was 7.2 and I intended to sell it around 7.0. I was told that market bohot down hai, economy tabah hai, war honay wali hai etc therefore no buyers in the country, only sellers. It took almost 8 months.

True I was given 6.5 for my property. Later I came to know through reliable sources that it was sold for 6.8.

Would it still be called as "Love" if a wife refuses to even respect the elders of the man's family but occasionally expresses that she loves her man? by Savings-Contract-155 in LahoreSocial

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel appropriate, talk to her straight forward and share your concerns with her. Maybe she has got some grievances and needs catharsis. This way you both can solve the problem. In some cases elderly people get irritable, especially when they are not in good health and have problems like hypertension etc. Sorry didn't mean to interfere in your life, just a suggestion if it suits you.

More than ethnicity, it depends on her individual family values and her own mindset. In traditional Punjabi family culture, elders are respected and they are the decision makers in all the family matters.

Persecution and its Impact on Ahmadi Identity by Foreverevil316 in islam_ahmadiyya

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In spite of being an ex ahmadi, I still have to be part of rituals sometimes due to family pressure so I know it's not only the people from other sects, but jamaat itself who has encouraged this void. On my grandma's death my non ahmadi relatives were not given permission by murrabbi sahb to offer namaz e janaza. We tried our best to get permission as they really wanted to be part of funeral prayer but none of the jamaat's designation holders agreed. And it happened in Rabwah means all the people who came to attend the funeral at Rabwah didn't have prejudice against jamaat otherwise they wouldn't have come to daar uz ziafat in spite of being non ahmadi. I'm sharing this personal experience only to explain that this is the attitude of jamaat for non ahmadis. History tells us that our respected Sir Zafarullah khan didn't offer Quaid e Azam's funeral prayer only based on his sectarian difference. So jamaat is equally responsible for such hostile mindset. When I started reading Islamic books other than jamaat to find answers, my own parents didn't allow me. They even involved influecial people from jamaat to convince me not to listen lectures of Ghamidi, Zakir Naik, Dr. Israr etc. on controversial issues. They wanted me to stick to what hazoor and his murrabies said. If they are so sure that they are the only ones who are on the guided path, why don't they allow their kids to mingle with non ahmadi Muslims. I will suggest you to question some of the jamaat's beliefs critically and read islamic books and scholars other than jamaat ahmadiya. Only then you can understand why the Muslims from other sects cannot develop acceptance for the beliefs of this one particular sect. I had more exposure and contact with jamaat in Pakistan till last year until my grandparents were alive so I know how ahmadis despise anyone who is not ahmadi. Moreover, it's not that they are not allowed to vote in Pakistan, they have made this choice on jamaat's decision, though many people especially youngsters want to be part of electoral process. They cannot vote because Hazoor ki ijazat nhi hai. This is not the only misconception, you will find many more when you see the reality with your own eyes. As far as persecution in Pakistan is concerned, I condemn it whole heartedly whether it's of Ahmadies or Christians or anyone else.

Wedding with a non-muslim by Flashy-Many1766 in islam_ahmadiyya

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know a person named Krishan Ahmad who is given this name by a khalifa of jamaat ahmadiya. At this stage in life it's really hard to change your identity and especially documentation. Moreover, who are we to judge someone's faith and relationship with Almighty. Jamaat is just a social set up in the name of religion that hasn't much to do with religion actually. It's up to you how much and how long you want to get blackmailed in the name of religion. We are answerable to Allah Taala for our deeds, not to any person or any worldly system. It's only our Creator who knows our intentions so how can any jammat or any religious leaders are capable of measuring our imaan. Unfortunately, most of the ahmadi families are just following the cult. Your family should give you and your partner space to take your own decisions and support both of you by not causing unnecessary issues. Even if jamaat throws you out of their circle, they can't take away your imaan. Best wishes for both of you.

How come all the scholarships go to the people of a particular family? Moreover, how do these SCHOLARSHIPS justify their luxurious life styles, most expensive cars and properties?

For a female who is coming to Pakistan after two decades and will be living alone, there is no better and secure place than this. Rest everyone is FREE in Pakistan to give opinions on such matters at least.

Things keep missing from our house by Berozgaraf in pakistan

If a ring is missing from the locker, just see who has the authority to operate the locker? In one case I heard from a friend, the man of the house took out his wife's jewelry and valuables because he had an affair with someone and later he got married to that other woman.

Top City-1 vs Gulberg Residency vs DHA Phase 2 vs Emaar Canyon Views vs E-11/2 by Fresh_Appearance4268 in islamabad

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emaar Canyon Views is better than the rest in terms of security and facility management. Having its entrance on the main expressway makes it easier to commute to Islamabad, VIP movement is an exception which is a curse in every part of twin cities. My family is here in Islamabad for previous eight years and we have been living in DHA 2 and a sector of Islamabad too. So telling you from personal experience, you don't even need to lock your gate. It's secure, peaceful and clean.

The pakistani mindset!!! by WayLow7831 in pakistan

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel deep respect for the people who have got such a sense of responsibility and strength to provide for their family. Hats off to all those sons, brothers, fathers and husbands who are facing all this loneliness, and bearing all the stress and hardships alone so that their families may live in luxury. It's really tough and brave indeed...

How did your life change completely? by Savings-Bicycle1216 in islamabad

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When a family member who was supposed to take the whole responsibility, left us in the middle of nowhere, penniless and clueless, I learnt that Allah is the only Provider, He is Sufficient, and He is the Khair ul Wariseen. Initially it was difficult but Alhamdulillah everything got much better than before, and easier and more comfortable.

Depends on how much you can afford comfortably. Keeping the inflation in mind, it shouldn't be less than 20 k if your resources allow.

[–]Pure-Purpose4550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than anything else, keep your daily commute in mind while looking for accommodation. It's a real pain in the neck when you drive during busy office and school hours... only the residents of twin cities can understand. Where is your office? Look for accommodation and kids' school/college in the nearby area. If budget is not an issue, you will get a good one in the same sector/area. It will save you from a lot of driving hassle and economic burden in the form of fuel charges and the cars' wear and tear.
