Muslim. Pakistani. Father. Son. Works in IT. Loves to Travel.
And then there is you…
A son reflects on his father’s life, lessons, faith, and final days — a deeply personal tribute to Abu Hazur (1934–2025).
I close my eyes, and I open them. I breathe in, and I breathe out. Sometimes I speak, but mostly I stay silent. I spend my day in meetings, handling escalations, assigning work, coaching my team, and coding my dreams – always trying to do
Why We Follow the Fiqh of an Imam
Between the Qur’an’s 6,236 verses and nearly 10,000 rigorously authentic hadith, Muslims face a vast ocean of guidance — sometimes overlapping, sometimes appearing to conflict. How then does one believer decide which narration to act upon? This is where Uṣūl al-Fiqh becomes indispensable.

Monday Morning Meanderings – A philosophical look on modern life
Is this what life is? Is this what we are here for? A few clicks here and there. Opening screens, closing screens. Thinking, deciding, delegating, taking ownership. Reading emails, replying to them….

And then we (my wife and I) heard about Roghan restaurant and decided to give it a try.
The Wonders of the Limitless Sky
I have a special bond with nature – ocean, trees, forests, mountains, valleys, and streams, all have enchanted me for as long as I can remember. In this blog, however, I will be talking about the limitless sky.
Fighting With Writing
Writing is a battle—sometimes the words flow like a raging river, and other times, they hide in the shadows, refusing to come out. Fighting With Writing is that frustrating struggle, where thoughts and sentences refuse to cooperate. It makes me wonder—am I really the one writing, or am I just a vessel through which words pour out when they choose?
