Where are you wondering?

 
God sent Adam and Eve to Earth
They didn't know this new place
They struggled for many years
They learned to sow the land

They learned to overcome nature.
They learned to find food.
Their only concern was survival.
They needed food and water.

Why did God make them suffer?
Christian believes they decline God's grace.
Muslims believe they were tempted by Satan
Religions don't answer Adam and Eve's suffering

How and why did a loving God make them suffer on earth?
One answer might be that Adam hurt God's ego
Does the most powerful God have an ego?
The second answer might be their creation.

They weren't creatures of heaven.
They were created for Earth.
Christian believes they will enter God's kingdom
How do they live there as humans?

Muslims believe their good deeds bring them to God's kingdom
How can only deeds decide eternity and peace?
A loving father wants to give everything to his child
Why didn't God give everything to Adam

Why did he punish Adam so severely?
Why do we feel abandoned on this earth?
Why do we feel we are living in a cage?
Why aren't we happy in this world?

Why aren't we liberated?
Why can't we see God?
Why do we feel lost all the time?
Where is our home? 

Do you think our home is a transcendental world?
God's kingdom shouldn't be our home.
We are human
We are dirty

We are greedy
We are immoral
We are arrogant
We are dishonest

We are disloyal
We are rebellious
We are nasty
We are repugnant

Do you still think God allows us to live in His Kingdom?
God's kingdom isn't for us
We ought to be submissive to God's will in his kingdom
Can we become submissive?

We ought to be passionate about righteousness in his kingdom
Can we become righteous?
We ought to love one another in his kingdom
Can we love one another?

We ought to be peaceful in his kingdom
Can we maintain peace?
I think God's kingdom isn't for us
Adam and Eve were cast out

They were greedy
They were nasty
They were liars
They were unjust

They were selfish
God's kingdom wasn't for them
Just like Earth is not for the Demon
Just like Earth is not for Angels

Just like our home is not for strangers
Just like knowledge is not for the ignorant
Just like white skin is not for black people
Just like the ocean is not for humans

Just like land is not for fish
We are not made for God's kingdom
We are creatures of the earth 
We aren't allowed to enter God's kingdom

What shall we do now?
We need to build a better place to live
A place where there is eternity
A place where human beings are respected

A place we call home
A place where we have all the knowledge
A place where we become selfless
A place where we don't suffer

A place where we find happiness
A place where we find true love
Can we build such a place?
Please tell me if you know such a place.

Is Iran an ungrateful nation?

Image
On December 2, 2025, I flew to Tehran, Iran, for a tourism trip with two friends. We took a five-hour flight from Islamabad to Tehran. Upon arriving at Tehran Airport, we exchanged some dollars for Iranian rials and took a taxi to the city center.  Imam Khomeini International Airport , Tehran At the Tehran Grand Bazaar , I experienced a different side of Iran. I learned that the country has been under the control of the Islamic clergy since the revolution in 1979 . The people of Iran have been compelled by the clergy to follow a strict Islamic code of conduct, which includes wearing veils in public, a ban on music in taxis and shops, restrictions on the sale and consumption of marijuana, and limited freedom of movement. Golestan Palace, Tehran, Iran I was informed that the clergy has hindered the economic, social, and cultural well-being of the people. Iran suffers from unpaved roads and inadequate infrastructure. Cleanliness is lacking, food is often unhygienic, and homelessness i...

Protest in the Sost Dry-port

Traders and people have been protesting for more than a month at the Sost dry port. On September 23, 2025, the Federal Government of Pakistan, the Gilgit-Baltistan government, and the traders' association agreed to end the protest, and it was decided to allow the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to trade up to 4 billion PKR with tax exemption. The agreement hasn't addressed structural challenges. This agreement opens the door for mega corruption, which has been widely practiced at the Sost Dry Port. It allows customs authorities and traders to manipulate tax exemptions. The people of GB demand two things: either they are integrated into the constitution of Pakistan as its fifth province, or there will be no tax on their business and income.  GB does not enjoy equal rights, and it is not a constitutional province of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It has been inaccurately associated with the Kashmir issues. Since 1947, GB has been governed by a primitive governance structure, where ...

Socrates Ideal State

Socrates envisioned an ideal state with a perfect society. In his state, every human being is treated as a subject, and each has to be trained for a specific task. In this ideal state, the  learned and rational people are the philosopher king who guide and run the affairs of the state. A philosopher king has to study philosophy, geometry, and astronomy for the perfection of his judgment, virtues, and decisions. Socrates' philosophy teaches a person to be a philosopher king, capable of forgoing his desire and gaining consciousness to distinguish between evil and virtue. A philosopher king possesses truth, courage, steadfastness, knowledge, and a sound mind. Women have the same privileges as men in the ideal state, and can enjoy the same benefits. In the hierarchy of classes, the second tier is t he auxiliaries, who are soldiers. They are trained to defend, protect, and safeguard the state from external enemies. An auxiliary is trained in physical activities and is always ready to de...
