My activities on Tuesday 24th 2025

I woke up at 12:00 PM, had breakfast, changed clothes, and left for work in Gilgit. Since Monday, I have been waking up late, which aligns with my work schedule.

I visited the Special Communication Office to expedite my fiber internet application. It has now been a month since I submitted it.

I visited the District Health Office and obtained several documents. After that, I headed to the Deputy Director of Education's office, where I spent three hours working on combining and cleaning data.

Around 5:00 PM, I returned home to find my mother preparing to leave for our village, Jalalabad. After performing the night prayers, I went out to meet friends. One of my friends was hosting a feast at his home to celebrate his parents' recent pilgrimage to Mecca.

I was cooking chicken karai when I received his call. I brought my chicken karai to the feast, and some friends enjoyed it too.

On my way home, I received a call from my cousins. We decided to meet at a hotel nearby. During our meeting, we discussed the ongoing war between Iran and Israel. One of my older cousins became offended by my arguments. He tends to react this way when he feels he is right. While he is often correct, there are times when he isn't.

On Tuesday, the 24th, I acted immorally, which is clear. I gave project funds to my colleague's wife and sister.

Nayyar Abbas's passion is writing. He earned a bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science and a master's in Development Studies in Peace and Conflict. He writes about economics, politics, religion, philosophy, and peace. His aim is to highlight classical liberal ideas of economics, politics, and identity changes in a fast-transforming world.

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 ...

The global consequences of the American war on Iran.

The world is on the brink of another global conflict. On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel targeted Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at his residence in Tehran. This war has escalated to unprecedented levels. Ali Khamenei was not only the supreme leader of Iran but also an Islamic jurist for many Muslims, particularly Shia Muslims around the world. His assassination has triggered waves of violence globally. In Pakistan alone, more than 25 people have died in attacks on U.S. embassies, UN offices, and other related infrastructure.   Shia Muslims believe that their Twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi , is in occultation, which means he went into concealment by God's command in 260 A.H., and is alive, overseeing the world until he reappears to establish justice. In his absence, a Faqih carries out religious and political duties. A Faqih is a qualified Islamic jurist. The concept of Wilayat al-Faqih , or Guardianship of the Jurist, has emerged to facilitate the leadership ...
