Essay:
A suicide bomb attack is an attack in which the bomber himself also dies. This term was first
used by Western media during the Second World War to describe the actions of Japanese Kamikaze
Pilots. But in recent times, it is used to describe the attacks of Muslim Jehadists.
In Middle East, suicide bombing was carried out by uninformed youth. It was mainly done to
avenge the loss of their freedom. But, now it has spread to the whole world. It is carried out by the
youth who have lost all hopes of peaceful settlements. They witnessed their families suffering in the
hands of occupying forces. Despite this intolerable situation, no permission in Islam can be found to
avenge by suicide.
Islam condemns suicide. Though it asks its followers to stand for their rights and defend
themselves but they are told to adopt peace and tolerance first. The Quran does not promise
„Heaven‟ who commits suicide but rather warns of hell. Probably, these wrong thoughts originated
from manmade books of „Hadiths‟ and „Sunnah‟. Suicide is a state of disbelief and loss of faith that
is condemned by God.
We have fully sympathy with those who are suffering but we cannot agree with breaking
God‟s commandments. Oppression is not a reason to break God‟s laws, rather is a good reason to
hold tight to them. We should know that by achieving peace, love and tolerance, we will gain
dignity. We should show the world true face of Islam.
Islam urges the followers to adopt the way of peace. They may fight when peaceful means
fail. But fighting does not include the killing of innocent civilians. This does not reflect true picture
of Islam.
The blame can be placed both on oppressors and suicide bombers. The oppressors should
give a chance to youth to live in dignity and freedom. The world has to speak up against the
oppressors. No divine law allows the oppression or occupation of others houses. Peace can only be
achieved by mutual understanding.
To conclude, it can be said that we should tell our youth about the true Quranic
commandments. But the world should also make efforts to stop this aggression. As the young
generation of theses nations find no other way except to die.
3-Social Evils
Or
Corruption in Society
Outline:
1: Man is a social animal by nature.
2: Man has deviated ( )بھٹک جاناfrom true concept of Islam.
3: Different social evils are causing damage to our society.
4: Bribery is the worst social evil.
5: Hoarding ( )ذخیرہ اندوزیand black marketing are also serious crimes.
6: Nepotism ( )اقربا پروریand jobbery ( )سرکاری افسران کی بدعنوانیare also very common.
7: These evils can be eradicated, if we act according to the principles of Islam.
Essay:
Man is a social animal by nature. The lust of wealth and property breeds ( )پیدا کرناmany evils
in human beings. People are ready to whatever suits them to gather wealth. They do not bother about
moral values and laws of the country. Our society is a Muslim society, but it is pity that today almost
all the social evils are prevailing around us. The cause of this is our deviation from the true concept
of Islam. Today man has so much fallen a victim to material benefits that his survival is now at
stake. This all shows how adversely evils have affected our society. The different social evils such
as bribery, nepotism, jobbery, beggary, drug addiction, smuggling, dowry system and many other
are causing a great damage to our social life and individual dignity ()عظمت. They are in fact a
hindrance ( )رکاوٹin our way to progress and prosperity in life.
Bribery is the worst social evil, our society is suffering form. From top to the toe the
members of our society are indulged ( )عادت ہوناin this evil, directly are indirectly. And the worst is
that nobody is ashamed of taking are giving bribery. The situation has worsened to such an extent
that even the most honest persons have been left with no alternative. It seems almost impossible to
get one‟s work done in any department without greasing the palm of the authorities.
Hoarding and black marketing are also very common. Hoarders and black marketers play
with the fate of the people. Food adulteration is also a serious crime committed openly in our
society. You can hardly buy anything pure from market. Adulterated food stuff is damaging the
public health.
Another social evil which is at peak now a day is nepotism and jobbery. Nepotism means
doing undue favour in appointing one‟s relatives to office. The appointment of inefficient relatives
of the ruling classes to office might lead us to destruction if it is not checked very soon.
Sectarianism, theft, dacoities, swindling ()فریب دے کے لوٹنا, cheating, corruption, forgery ()جعل سازی,
delay in justice and so many other social evils have spread in our society at a large scale.
To conclude, we may say that almost every part of our society is corrupt and every attitude
shameful. The society cannot change until everyone changes himself and act according to the
Islamic principles. However, the time has come when all these above mentioned evils should be
uprooted and ended without delay if we want to make our country a true Islamic state.

Or
Nationalism and Internationalism
Outline:
1. Introduction: meaning of patriotism.
2. Good points of patriotism.
3. Dangers of patriotism.
(a) Narrow mindedness.
(b) War.
(c) Selfishness.
(d) Sentimentality.
4. Conclusion.
Essay:
Patriotism means love for one‟s country. It is a noble instinct ( ). It is born with our birth
and grows with our growth. Love for one‟s country is a natural thing. We live in it; we breathe in it;
we drink its water and eat its food and we enjoy its rights. Even beasts love their homes. Traitors
like Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq are always looked down upon ()دقارت سے دیکھنا. While those like Tipu
Sultan, Sirajuddaula, Major Aziz Bhati and Quaid-e-Azam who suffer or die in a patriotic cause are
ever respected by their fellow-men. Patriotism makes a man brave. It enables him to face dangers. It
makes a man sacrifice pleasure and hope of gain. Surely, patriotism is desirable and the absence of it
is a bad thing.
But patriotism has its dark side too. It has certain dangers. First, it often makes a man narrow-
minded and unfair. A partite finds no fault with his country. He cannot bear criticism on his country.
To a Pakistani, everything Pakistani is good. To the English, everything English is faultless. This
attitude helps us to develop hater towards all the other countries. The German national song opens
with this “Germany over all”. The Japanese place themselves at the top of the list of nations.
Secondly, patriotism is there behind all wars of aggression and all form of imperialism ( برطانیہ
)کی توسیع سلطنت کی پالیسی. Hitler exploited ( )ناجاٴیس فاٴیدہ اٹھاناthe patriotism of the German Youth and
Mussolini of Italian Youth. People cut each other‟s throat without any remorse ( )افسوشin the name
of patriotism. Patriotism seems to be a justification ( )صذیخ ثابت کرناof every kind of international
crime, every kind of offence of against humanity.
Thirdly, within the country itself, patriotism has its danger too. Many wicked persons turn
into patriots in order to escape the consequences of their evil deeds. The selfish join the patriotic
parties for their own benefits. Under the name of patriotism, they think that they are free to whatever
they like.
Lastly, too much of patriotic feelings are necessary to make a man idealist. He emotionally
works for his goodness of his country. Such patriots often become a positive source of danger. They
do not realize the importance of compromise in the affairs of men.
To conclude, we may say that one may love one‟s country but one should try to develop an
international outlook. True patriotism should never go against internationalism. To save himself
from these dangers, a man must always remember he is first a human being and then a citizen of
some country.

3. The position of women in other countries.
4. Better opportunities should be provided to women to work.
5. Women should not forget their basic duties.
6. Conclusion.
Essay:
Women in our society are as important as men. In fact, they both are important for the
existence of a society. Though there is some improvement, yet it is a sad fact that the position of
women in our society, on the whole, is not satisfactory.
Most of the village women are uneducated and uncultured. They don‟t enjoy even some basic
rights. Mostly, they depend on their husbands or other male family members for the fulfillment of
their basic needs. Even they don‟t have a right to marry according to their will. However, now a
happy change is coming in the situation of village women. Now they also are getting education and
compared to past they are enjoying more freedom.
Women in cities are in somewhat better position. They are getting education and are working
independently. Now city women are working almost in every field of life and are supporting their
families. They are enjoying more freedom compared to village women. But in poor families, even in
cities, the situation is not much different from village women. Most of the women of poor families
work hard in their houses and then have to support their families by doing some kind of labour. It is
also a fact that women either living in cities or villages have to face the torture from their male
family members, especially from their husbands.
Compared to our society, in advanced countries women enjoy more respectable position.
They are treated equal with men in almost every field of life. There is not much difference in the
position of village and city women. They are independent and can work in every field. They even
decided some important matter of international importance.
We know women in our country are enjoying more freedom than ever before. They are
working in every field of life and have better representation in assembly than ever before. But still
they are facing the problem of gender discrimination. Hence, we should change our thinking and
should provide better working conditions for them, so that they can also their role in national
development.
But in all this women should also not ignore their basic duties. Their first duty is to look after
their family and if they can manage then they should come out and work.
To conclude, it can be said that though a welcome change can be witnessed in the condition
of women yet much more is needed to improve the condition of these poor creatures.
Essay:
The newspapers have a tremendous influence in the modern world. They are a powerful mean of
spreading all sorts of news and views. There are hundreds of newspapers in the world. Some of them
have wide circulation and are read by millions of people. Some are published daily and others weekly
or monthly. They bring many advantages to their readers.
First, the newspapers keep us in touch with the world. Without them we cannot know all the
news of even our own town or village. They extend our knowledge and keep up-to-date. They bring the
people of different countries close together. They contain news for almost all classes of people.
Secondly, the sportsmen find in them the news of their interest. Commercial news is published
for businessmen. Lovers of the Radio and the cinema can find detail of daily program. The
advertisements help the advertiser in selling their goods better and quick. A man of literature can find
stories and articles in them. The unemployed can see wanted column for a job. Those in search of
brides can look up the matrimonial wants. Aggrieved persons can write to the editors.
Thirdly, they can raise morality of their readers. They can lead a powerful revolt against all types
of tyranny ( )جبرand injustice. They can make their readers better citizens by giving them right
guidance. They can create feeling of good-will between the various classes, races and nations of the
world. Thus we find that they can do a lot of good. But they can do a lot of harm also:
First, they are double edged weapons and cut both ways. By publishing false news, they can give
wrong and false information to the people. By means of inflammatory ( )آگ بڑھکانے والےarticles, they
can widen the gulf between the various races and nations of the world. By publishing all sorts of war
news, they can, sometimes, make people nervous and excited.
Secondly, the newspapers can disturb the peace of a country by printing articles likely to set one
community to another. They sometimes, do irrevocable ( )ناقابل اصالحharm by publishing even true news
of communal riots. Such news should either not be published or published after restoration of normal
conditions. Some newspapers accept bribes and become mere tools in the hands of some persons. They
can become a mere machine for party propaganda.
To conclude, it can be said the management of newspaper should be in the hands of some sensible
people who should use the newspaper for something good not for mere material benefits.
Man is passing through most delicate phase of his history. Though he has made an astonishing
progress in every field of life and is living a more comfortable life than his ancestors. But, despite all of
his great progress he has to face many challenges in modern day‟s life. One of such challenge is war.
War and fighting has been common since time immemorial. Countries or nations fight wars for a
number of reasons.
Firstly, the two or more countries or nations begin a war for the sake of expansion of their
territories. Secondly, wars are fought by nations to get back their countries from foreign rulers. The
example of War of Independence of 1857 of Muslims of India can be given here. Thirdly, wars may be
fought for religious reasons. Such wars were very common in olden times. For example many wars
were fought between Christians and Muslims hundreds of years ago in Asia and Europe. Apart from
these reasons there may be some other reasons also. But the question here is, is war necessary?
The answer of this question is big „No‟. Though, when we consider the causes of war, it looks as
the war is the only way to settle all the matters between nations. But, that is not right. There are many
other ways to settle the disputes. If all countries agree to accept the decisions of UN in their disputes
war can be avoided. Apart from that being a Muslim we have a personality, whose life provides us a
guiding line. We see that despite having an upper hand over Kufar of Makha, our beloved Prophet
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) got ready for “Sulh-o-Hudabia”. Though some of its terms were against
the Muslims but the result of it can open the eyes of some of the big bosses of today‟s world. Our
beloved Prophet showed a way to the all human beings till the Day of Judgment that how should we
live a life and settle our disputes. Though He also fought some wars but when these were entrusted on
him. But whenever he got chance, he adopted the way of peace and he preached this in his whole life.
Hence, to conclude I may say that peace is better than war and war is not the only solution of
any dispute rather it gives air to them. So if this world wants a better and prosperous future for coming
generations, it should adopt the ways shown by our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and
his way definitely not suggest war.

The present day Muslim World
Or
Future of the Muslim World
Outline:
1. The modern world is presenting the most disturbed situation of its
history.
2. After 9/11 incident, America with its allies attacked both Afghanistan
and Iraq.
3. The designs of American attack are very wicked.
4. Actually, America and West are afraid of spreading of Islam in these
countries.
5. The future of the Muslims is quite bright.
The modern world is presenting the most disturbed situation of its history. There is disorder and
anarchy everywhere and the Muslim countries are worst sufferers. They are made a victim of barbarity
and cruelty. The Muslims all over the world are backward in the fields of science and technology. They
don‟t have sophisticated weapons to defend themselves. America with its advancement in the field of
sophisticated weapons is ruling all over the world, especially the Muslim world. The rulers of the
Muslim countries are not challenging its authority, just to save their governments.
After 9/11 incident, America with its allies attacked both Afghanistan and Iraq. They are causing
endless destruction in both the countries. Millions of people have been killed and wounded in both the
countries. Still these countries are suffering in the hands of America and its allies. Everyday hundreds
of people are killed. Hospitals, colleges, shopping plazas, hotels and many other important buildings
are dashed to ground. Both the countries are presenting a sorrow picture of mass destruction.
The designs of American attack are very wicked. Actually, it wants to crush the Muslim unity.
In Afghanistan, it did not like the Islamic Movement, where as in Iraq it wanted to take control of the
oil wealth. Now it is planning to attack Iran. The Muslims in occupied Kashmir are also suffering in the
hands of Indian army. Situation in Palestine is also very grave. Apart from that situation in Pakistan is
also disturbing.
America and European countries are carrying this campaign in the name of terrorism and
extremism. But, actually, America and West are afraid of spreading of Islam in these countries.
Thousands of people are embracing Islam in these countries every day. The western scholars and
religion thinkers are afraid of this and are running an unholy campaign against Islam and our beloved
Holy Prophet. They are declaring every practicing Muslim a terrorist and fundamentalist.
The future of the Muslims is quite bright. Allied forces cannot make the people of these
countries their slaves. The freedom fighters of the Muslim countries are putting up great resistance
against the Allied forces. They are committed to expel these forces from their countries. The sacrifices
of the people of these countries will not go waste and one day they will have to leave their countries
and the day is not far.

Following steps should be taken to solve the present problems of the Muslim countries. Firstly,
they should unite in the religious matters and should not divide on sectarian matters. Secondly, they
should make a joint army for their common defense. Thirdly, they should pay much attention towards
the fields of science and technology and should develop sophisticated weapons for their joint defense.
Fourthly, the Muslim countries should co-operate in the field of economics. Fifthly, they should be
united in the matters of common international Muslim interests.
13-Energy crises
Or
Power crises
Outline:
1. Electricity is very important for the progress of a country.
2. Without electricity a country suffers in every field of life.
3. Electricity is produced by water, gas, oil and coal. The electricity
produced by water is cheap.
4. Our demand of electricity is greater than its production.
5. We should build more dams to meet the requirements of power.
6. We must save energy by different means.
Essay:
Electricity is very important for the progress of a country. Prosperity of a country is directly
linked with the supply of energy. Electricity is needed in every sector of modern life. The working of
railways, hospitals, business centers and even in our houses entirely depends on electricity. Without
electricity our farms and industry will stop production.
But unfortunately, production of such a vital thing is insufficient in Pakistan. The production is
far less than the demand. The result is that we have to do load shedding of power in the country. The
load shedding of power has affected our country badly. It has disturbed our social, economic and
cultural life. The industry and business of the country come to stand still during the long hours of load
shedding. The hospital and medical centers suffer a lot. The business centers are plunged into
darkness. In short, the whole stream of life stops.
The shortage of power supply is due to following reasons;
First, we produce electricity from water, oil, coal and gas. Water is the cheapest source of
producing electricity. But unfortunately we have failed to build any large dam for a long time. Had it
been built, the power supply should be in surplus. Apart from that water level in Tarbela and Mangla
dams has become very low, which is also affecting our production of energy.
Second, the electricity produced by coal, gas and oil is very costly. The electricity produced by
these elements is called thermal power. The setting up of thermal power station is highly expensive for
developing countries, like Pakistan.
Third, electricity can be produced by nuclear energy. But, it is not easy to set up. Nuclear
reactors are very costly. Moreover, we have to buy nuclear reactors from Western countries which are
not ready to do so.
We are suffering of shortage of electricity due to following reasons also:
1. The demand of electricity has increased many folds due to set up of new industries, new
colonies and electrification of villages.
2. The use of electricity increases in summer due to increasing use of air conditioners.
3. The measures of save energy have badly failed. People use electricity as generously as
possible without any care to save it.
Following measures can improve the situation:
To conclude, we may say that in these critical conditions strict security measures are needed to
save our future generation from the malign designs of our enemy forces. More and more measures
should be adopted to give them an atmosphere in which they can blossom their abilities. But, it is also a
fact that these security measures are not the all thing. Our politicians should show sense and put behind
their own interests in favour of national interests. The above said measures are not permanent solution
but a peaceful society is. But, how this peace can be achieved? That is a question that needs an answer
from all of us, but, especially from our Government and politicians.
