The Spark of Supreme Sacrifice (A Documentary on Martyr Aitizaz Hassan) - English And Urdu

Shaheed Aitizaz Hassan: A Pakistani school boy from Hangu District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province who sacrificed his life while preventing a suicide bomber from entering his school on January 6, 2014. The school is located at the Ibrahimzai village of Hangu and it is the primary source of education for 2000 students.
Aitzaz\\\\\\\'s action to save his classmates captured the hearts of many in Pakistan; he was hailed as a national hero and awarded with the high civil award of Pakistan Sitara-e-Shujaat (Star of Bravery). Amidst the existing paralysis of action and amidst the purposeful ambiguity being created in Pakistan to not only exonerate Taliban but to make them out into Islamic heroes , the likes of Shaheed Aitizaz Hassan must proudly be raised as a flag under which the forces of correction gather together to assert its will against the gathering Khariji and Takfiri storm.
It is not only a way to remember the great sacrifice of our martyrs but it is also a practical step to gain center stage in the battle of wills that is unfolding; the narrative must be won before the war is won.
To achieve this purpose we produced a documentary with re-enactment of his martyrdom. This documentary with re-enactment contains the footage of real people, his family, his neighbors, his teacher speaking about him and also about the incident.
This Documentary is Presented by Al-Haadi Media - Toronto, Canada, contact us at

Animal Instincts
The Spiny Anteaters Fast:
The spiny anteater, is a type of nocturnal, burrowing, egg-laying mammal. It lives in Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea.
It lacks teeth and is covered with spines. It has a slender snout and an extensible sticky tongue used for catching insects, such as ants and termites.
The spiny anteater prefers to live on mountains and high places over 200 meters above sea level. It likes to stay in uninhabited places and shadowed forests because it likes to feed on ants.
The spiny anteater puts its long sticky tongue inside an ant tunnel, and hundreds of ants cling to it, making a delicious meal for the anteater.
The anteater can fast from food for more than a month.
When food decreases because of an increase in population of anteaters or when a migration happens, they fast, and lack of food does not weaken them.

Facebook has blocked Press TV from posting on the popular social networking site for 12 hours. This, after Press TV published photos of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon\\\'s resistance movement Hezbollah.
Press TV\\\'s Facebook page has around 1.3 million likes. It is regarded as one of the fastest-growing Facebook pages among international news channels. The social network has cited its Community Standards for the temporary suspension. However, Press TV\\\'s multimedia team found no credible reasons why its page should be blocked.

Shaheed Beheshti | IP Talk Show
Welcome to the Islamic Pulse TalkShow.
In this episode we\'re talking about the elegant, refined, and eloquent \"Shaheed Beheshti\".
On what terrorist incident and on what date did Shaheed Beheshti attain martyrdom?
And what profound statement did Imam Khomeini use for Shaheed Beheshti?
What role did Shaheed Beheshti play when it comes to the field of philosophy in the modern era?
What were some of the challenges that the likes of Shaheed Beheshti had to deal with in their time?
And what were some of the unfortunate things that were said about Islam; things that the likes of Shaheed Beheshti had to reform in the society in general?
What were some of the languages that Shaheed Beheshti had command over and were his activities limited to the Islamic Republic of Iran?
What was an instrumental role played by Shaheed Beheshti at the onset of the victory of the Islamic Revolution?
And what role did Shaheed Beheshti play when it comes to the defense of Wilayat al-Faqih in the constitution of the Islamic Republic?
And finally, what does Shaheed Beheshti teach us when it comes to sacrificing for the greater good and for the ultimate Truth?
To answer these questions and more, we humbly invited Sayyid Muhammad Hashemi from the Islamic Republic of Iran, to sit down with us and speak a little bit about \"Shaheed Beheshti\".

A heartbreaking documentary by filmmaker and journalist Ziad Zafar on the disappeared people in Pakistan. Timely and to the point. Points to the two major factors that determine Pakistani politics - the American geo-strategic interests and the politico-economic interests of the military establishment. Important to note that religious extremism and sectarianism in Pakistan have always been the function of these two factors. The American selfish interests in the region and the failure of political process since the establishment of Pakistan are the real causes behind religious extremism. Busharrafs war on terror is failing. This war is itself a form of and a cause of growing terrorism in the region. Those individuals involved in militant organizations and terrorist activities should be brought to justice. But it should be done through given constitutional and criminal procedures instead of extra-judicial kidnappings and killings. Because illegitimate and unpopular power has its own logic. It does not distinguish between one type of body from the other - one type of citizen from another - militant or otherwise - when it comes to the question of preserving itself. The history of dictatorships in Pakistan - military or democratic - provide plenty of examples where in the name of National Integrity Development Islamization and more recently Curbing Islamic Extremism and War on Terror the state has suppressed dissent liberties and freedom of its citizens. Notice the list of missing people at the end of the documentary. Recognize the backgrounds of people through their names. Are they only what the Pakistani state likes to call the Islamic Militants. Or the list also includes the Baloch the Muhajir the Pashtoon the Sunni the Shia the Liberal the Human Rights Activist and the Journalist.

Tesla's scientific discoveries are a reminder that there are alternative ways of imagining and doing science. They also highlight the fact that the current fossil fuel based economy is not a result of some NATURAL (and inevitable) development in the history of science and technology but was guided in this particular direction by materialistic greed. SOME suggest that because of Tesla's eccentric behavior and views it became easy for the likes of Thomas Edison and J. P. Morgan to defame him and sweep him under the carpet. Tesla's works remain classified and are perhaps still used in classified scientific and military projects.

"The Diamond Empire" is a documentary produced by Media Education Foundation in 1994. To purchase conflict-free diamonds or not, that is not the question. It is actually to re-think if we need diamonds at all to feel happy about ourselves or express our love toward others? More regulations on diamond trade - to purchase only certified diamonds - would only inflate its demand and reinforce the monopoly of De Beers and its likes. Even if somehow we manage to address the problem of "scarcity" by dismembering the diamond cartel and etc., would that solve the problem? If today we address diamond scarcity somehow, tomorrow the hearts-with-illness will desire for some other “precious” metal or material. Instead of De Beers, you will have some other unscrupulous, profit-driven company doing similar exploitation. This is not to suggest that people don't engage in political activism, pressuring politicians and companies through protests and boycotts. Just that doing that won’t be enough. What is needed is a deep cultural shift in how people think and desire and somehow re-orient the focus away from the rat race for bigger, better, faster, and more that you see in almost all parts of the world - those in the middle and upper classes that can afford such luxuries and among the working and poor classes who can't afford but their hearts long for these luxuries, and if tomorrow they become rich, they would join the rat race with similar enthusiasm.

Is it really worth having those diamonds when they have so much blood on them? Human beings are exploited on both ends of the diamond trade. From the poor miners in Africa to those people who are made to believe that their love could only proven by diamond. They probably do not know how much blood is on that diamond. And some, despite knowing, have simply become indifferent and cold, and therefore, in-human. We need to re-think if we really need diamonds - and for that matter, other excessive materialistic possessions - to feel happy about ourselves or express our love toward others? More regulations on diamond trade - to purchase only certified diamonds - would only inflate its demand and reinforce the monopoly of De Beers and its likes.

More regulations on the diamond trade - specifically, to purchase only certified diamonds - would only reinforce the monopoly of De Beers and its likes.
Human beings are exploited on both ends of the diamond trade. From the poor miners in Africa to those people who are made to believe that their love could only proven by diamond. They probably do not know how much blood is on that diamond. And some, despite knowing, have simply become indifferent and cold (and therefore, in-human).
We need to re-think if we need diamonds at all to feel happy about ourselves or express our love toward others?
A related question to consider is that Are diamonds really that rare. Is diamond scarcity real or artificial? See another clip on this site by the title "The Diamond Empire"
Even if somehow we manage to address the problem of "scarcity" by dismembering the diamond cartels and etc., would that solve the problem? If today we address diamond scarcity somehow, tomorrow the hearts-with-illness will desire for some other “precious” metal or material. Instead of De Beers, you will have some other unscrupulous, profit-hungry business doing similar exploitation.
People should definitely engage in political activism, pressuring politicians and companies through protests and boycotts. But just that doing that won’t be enough. What is needed is a deep cultural shift in how people think and desire and somehow re-orient the focus away from the rat race for bigger, better, faster, and more, that you see in almost all segments of society around the world - those in the middle and upper classes that can afford such luxuries and those among the working and poor classes who can't afford but their hearts long for these luxuries, and if tomorrow they become rich, they would probably join the rat race with similar enthusiasm.
Change has to start from within ourselves, from transforming our hearts, from changing our standards of beauty and value. More than just sympathy we need to get angry at our complacency and at the exploitation of people and environment and turn our passivity into concrete action.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed the covert efforts of some foreign countries to change the political system of Afghanistan. Karzai has not named any specific country, but he did mention the kind of system those countries are looking for. His comments drew mixed reactions here. People in the north support a federal government. Their neighborhoods are rich with oil deposits---like these ones. You cannot find the likes of these oil deposits in the south. The northerners want to have a full grip on them. And it is also peace that they believe can come to their villages if a federal style of government is put in place. It is not the general view though. There are many who are strongly opposed to such a change in Afghanistan\'s political system. Fatana Ishaq Gailani is one of them. She is a member of a famous political family here. Fatana blames the West for trying to impose a federal government on Afghans.
To her, it is a plausible threat.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: Surely, there exists in the hearts of the Mu\'mineen, with respect to the martyrdom of Husayn (A.S.), a heat that never subsides.

The Holy Prophet (S) said: Surely, there exists in the hearts of the Mu\'mineen, with respect to the martyrdom of Husayn (A.S.), a heat that never subsides.
O\' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husayn (A.S.) for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise.
Imam Raza (A.S.). The one for whom the day of A\'ashura is a day of tragedy, grief and weeping, Allah The Mighty, The Glorious, shall make the Day of Judgment, a day of joy and happiness for him.
With the advent of the month of Muharram, my father Imam Kadhim (A.S.) would never be seen laughing; gloom and sadness would overcome him for (the first) ten days of the month; and when the tenth day of the month would dawn, it would be a day of tragedy, grief and weeping for him.
If you have to cry over something, then do so over Husayn Ibn \'Ali (A.S.) for surely, he was slaughtered in the manner in which a ram is slaughtered.
Those who weep should weep over the likes of Husayn (A.S.) for surely, weeping over him does away with one\'s great sins.
If it makes you happy (and you desire) to be with us in the elevated ranks of paradise, then be sad in our grief and happy at our happiness
