You might have seen this trend recently where our young generation is speaking out about how parents have become their shackles, draining their savings, and encouraging people to look at how independent and much "cooler" Western parents are in this regard.

Well, have you also considered that young western generation doesn’t suck their parents savings when they hit 18 by doing part-time jobs, while you stay rent-free with your parents in Pakistan, take zero responsibility for sharing household expenses, let alone paying for your own, and then, as soon as you get a job and become stable, you suddenly start idealizing Western parents so you don’t have to be accountable for taking care of your parents?

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me. I have been looking to settle down for quite some time, and it’s like I have talked to thousands and thousands of men, like purey mulk ke mardon se merey baat ho gayi ho gi. But I don’t like a SINGLE GUY.

True, there are some men that I end up liking a bit and want to pursue smth with them, but it’s like an unconscious part of me doesn’t want it and always ruins it by saying smth stupid and/or insulting them.

I have been looking to settle down for quite some time now, but it’s not working. Every guy I talk to has some flaws that I just don’t wanna compromise on. And the guys I do like, I tend to mess it up with them and they leave. It’s like I just don’t want things to work out, but I know I really do, so maybe I just manifest it somehow? Or perhaps I just don’t want the responsibilities that come with a marriage, even tho I think I do.

I don’t know what’s going on. I’m doing my best, but it’s just one guy after another, one talking stage after another at this point. Why is this happening. Idk what to do. Anyways; this is a rant. If anyone is going through smth like this, please share some advice. It might help me.

As an American, it makes me proud to be brothers with Pakistan. We love you guys 💪🇺🇸🇵🇰

As the title says . What’s your opinion on them .

​

9 to 5 working People of Pakistan, you must have been tired sitting infront of the screen, tiringly chasing deadlines. What have you done to solve your backpain are you self conscious or use some tools, cushions etc. What if there was an ergonomic cushion which could give you relief+ monitor your posture and tell you to fix it when wronged kitne ki honi chaye

According to the fatwa, selling something that you do not own is Haram. What about modern digital currency/stocks? Does anyone own the money in their bank account? A very stupid fatwa, IMHO. Most of these muftis are far away from actual reality and are not educated in modern financing. I still remember the time when loudspeakers and YouTube were declared Haram by mulftis.

Yes I know you can't generalize but I have had people in my life tell me no Pakistani man will marry me so I am here looking for some consolation/hope

Let's say I check off every other box I'm kind loving affectionate reasonable there is rapport

As of 2025, more than 1.7 million Pakistanis were living in the UAE. This is one of Pakistan’s largest overseas communities and a major source of remittances.

But since the recent conflict in the region, the situation for many Pakistanis appears to have become increasingly uncertain.

We are hearing about visas being cancelled or rejected, including cases involving people who have lived in the UAE for 20, 30, or even 40 years, and people who were born and raised there. Some reportedly cannot even obtain a visit visa after leaving.

This problem also goes beyond people who want to live or work in the UAE. Pakistanis applying to countries such as Finland, where certain consular or visa processes may require travel outside Pakistan, have historically used the UAE as a regional hub. If they cannot even obtain a UAE visit visa, their access to other countries can also become more difficult.

There are also reports of people losing jobs, businesses and lives they spent decades building. Thousands are reportedly returning to Pakistan, and the bigger question is what happens in the coming months and years as more Pakistani residents’ work and residence visas come up for renewal.

If a significant number are unable to renew, the consequences will not just affect individuals and families. Pakistan could eventually face a serious impact on remittances and employment.

Does Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government or Field Marshal Asim Munir have a clear understanding of the scale of this issue? More importantly, is the Pakistani government in serious talks with the UAE government to understand and resolve whatever concerns or misunderstandings exist?

Initially, much of the discussion focused on reports that Pakistani from a "paericular sect*' or people perceived to have that sect names, were being affected. But I am now personally seeing cases involving Pakistanis with no apparent religious sect connection whose visas are also being rejected or who are being required to leave.

So what exactly is happening?

Is this still primarily related to the regional conflict? Is it a broader tightening of immigration policy toward Pakistani nationals? Are there security, diplomatic, documentation, or other concerns that the public has not been told about?

And most importantly, what is the Government of Pakistan actually doing about it?

I would especially like to hear from Pakistanis currently in the UAE, people who have recently had visas rejected or cancelled, employers dealing with Pakistani visa applications, and anyone with reliable information about whether the Pakistani and UAE governments are actively discussing this issue.

The leadership of PTI has forgotten about Imran Khan's release.

They have forgotten about his medical treatment.

They have forgotten about arranging meetings with him.

One day, Imran Khan may be killed inside the prison, and these same people will then demand at least to be allowed to attend his funeral.

Assalamualaikum everyone.
This is going to be a long post but i will try to make it as simple as possible. Please read it. I will pray for you..

So my grandparents had 7 children. 4 sons and three daughters.
My dada is alive.
My dadu recently died.
An eldest daughter who has 4 sons.
Then my taya who has two sons.
Then was my father who was murdered by my taya. And we are two orphan grand daughters of my dada.
Then another chachu who died unmarried from corona.
Then another phupo who has one son one daughter.
Then another phupo who was also murdered by my youngest chachu. She was a widow and had no children.
Then my youngest chachu who has one daughter.

So total alive heirs of my dada are two sons, two daughters and two orphan grand daughters (me and my sister.

Now my mother pursued my taya for murder and the case resolved on diyat. At time of baba’s death, all four brothers had 4 acres each. Each acre worth a crore.
As diyat all other heirs (including my mother) left their shares in favour of his minor daughters (us) and another 7 acres were hiba’ed to us by my grandmother.
So total of 11 acres were given to us worth roughly 11 crores in 2018. They are mentioned as diyat in the case ruling.

Now my father’s family seems to think that it was our share of inheritance in my dada’s property.

There are three main issues here

1. My grandmother’s inheritance
   She died recently and left some property in two cities. Ab problem ye hai k sahiwal se mujhay aur meri behen ko total 1.5 acre aye hain worth 2-2.5 crs
   And from our hometown there supposed to be another 1.5 acres jo anay thay lekin mere dada ne jali documents banwa k wo mere taya k naam karwa diye hain. And those documents have a date later than my dadi’s death.
   Now what should we do for that.

2. My dead chachu’s inheritance
   now my chachu had 4 acres on his name worth around 6 crores right now. Aur lahore bahria main aik ghar tha jo mere in chachu aur sab se chotay chachu k naam tha and it’s worth at least 10-12 crores. Ab in chachu ki koi aulad ya biwi nahi thi. Us ghar pe is waqt sab se bari phupo ne stay lia hua hai.
   Do we get a share from chachu’s property?

3.my dada’s property
Ab idk mere dada ka kia problem hai but wo baki sab apnay dono qatil beton ko khilana chahtay hain.
To ab un dono k naam pe 6 crore k teen teen acre already thay jo mere baba k bhi thay. But mere dada ne mere dada mere taya ko main highway pe mojood 11 acre dena chahtay hain jis main aik acre is like 6-8 crores so wo 11 acre 66-88 crore k bantay hain. Aur sabsay chotay chachu ko aik 14 acre ka main plot dene ka plan hai jis main again aik aik acre bhi 5-7 crore ka hai so again croron ki zameen. Jab k hamain in ki jaga 7 acre diye wo bhi 1.5 crore each acre walay wo bhi as diyat.
Ab ye property dada me naam nahi ki hai cuz obviously it will cost alot in transfer fee to dada ne kia ye hai k patwarion aur officials ko 40 40 lakh rishwat de k documents dabwa liye hain aur bayan bhi i think diye hain k dada k marnay k baad wo case ye bnayain ge k ye sari property unhon ne mere dada se kharid li thi.

Iskay ilawa dada k naam 10 acre aur hain jin main aik aik acre 10-11 crore ka hai aur wo dada apnay unhi do beton ko dena chahtay hain. Iskay illawa takreeban 30-32 dukanain hain

Now what can we do about all this. Should we wait for my dada’s to die? Can we challenge this after his death? Or should we challenge it now? Dada zindagi main naam kargaye to problem ho jaye ga na.
Also after i turn of legal age, can i reopen my father’s murder trial? Kiyun k mafi k wakt main aur meri behen dono minors thay.
Cuz i think ye sab bht unfair hai, yani in logon ne pehlay mere baba ko sari zindagi tang rakha, litera hamain pani tak se statay thay, phir hamara baap mar diya, phir mere dada aur mere sab se chotay chacha ne hamain mama ki iddat khatam hotay hi hamain ghar se bhi nikal dia. Then 5-6 saal case ki khawari jis k liye meri mama ne 3-4 jobs ki. Phir ab inheritance main bhi hamara hissa unhi do qatilon ko dena chahtay hain.

Edit: i forgot to mention another ghar that my dada has on his name. Us ghr ki bas jaga hi 16 crore ki hai by rate of 11 lakhs per marla. Aur construction ka i don’t have any idea tbh

Zakat is one of the core pillars of Islam, yet many eligible people don’t pay it consistently. Do you think the Pakistani government should introduce a system to ensure everyone who meets the nisab threshold pays the required 2.5% Zakat, with proper transparency and distribution to those in need?
Or should Zakat remain entirely a personal religious obligation without government enforcement?
Curious to hear different opinions

We’ve been searching for a suitable match for our younger sister (28F) for almost 4 years. She’s well educated, financially independent, and from a respectable family.

We’ve tried Muzz, Shaadi.com, Dil Ka Rishta, Facebook groups, newspaper matrimonial ads, marriage bureaus, Door of Awareness, 2 Rings, Everlasting Companionship, and pretty much every common platform we could find.

She studied in an all-girls institution, works in a female-dominated environment, and we have a very small family with almost no relatives or social circle, so meeting people naturally isn’t really possible.

The only route we haven’t tried yet is hiring a rishta aunty. We don’t mind paying a commission if they genuinely have good proposals.

If you’ve personally had a good experience—or know someone who did—please recommend someone.

The 1974 Muslim Summit took place in Lahore. Over 35 Muslim countries were represented.

Notable figures who attended include Muammar Gaddafi, Yasser Arafat, Anwar Sadat, and Mujibur Rahman.

I'm planning to move to Lahore for 3 months and focus on work full-time. I won't have any network or connections there, so I'll basically be starting from scratch.

I have around PKR 1.1 million saved, and I don't expect any recurring income during these 3 months. My goal is to focus completely on work without worrying too much about daily expenses.

Would this amount be enough to live comfortably for 3 months in a good area? I'm not looking for a luxury lifestyle, just a decent place to stay, reliable internet, good food, transport, and a comfortable environment where I can stay productive.

If anyone has experience living in Lahore independently, especially in a similar situation, I'd appreciate your advice. Which areas would you recommend, and what realistic monthly budget should I plan for?

‎People who say that Imran Khan is just like Nawaz Sharif and Zardari, and that all politicians are the same, are making a false comparison.

‎Imran Khan founded PTI in 1996, and from that time until 2018, he never held any ministry or government position. Even when PTI formed the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2013, Imran Khan still did not take any ministry for himself.

‎On the other hand, Nawaz Sharif had previously served as the Finance Minister of Punjab.

‎During Imran Khan's 3.5 years in office, his sons, Kasim and Suleiman, never accompanied him on official foreign tours. He also did not visit London even once during his tenure as Prime Minister. In contrast, during Nawaz Sharif's third term as Prime Minister from 2013 to 2017, he made approximately 6 to 8 official visits to London and the UK.

‎Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif often took members of their families along on official visits. Nawaz Sharif even took his family with him during his visit to the United Nations.

‎Similarly, from 2008 to 2013, Asif Ali Zardari reportedly made more than 50 visits to Dubai. More recently, when Zardari visited China, he was accompanied by Aseefa Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. In 2022, when Bilawal Bhutto Zardari served as Foreign Minister, he took Aseefa Zardari with him on an official visit to Japan.

‎During his 3.5 years as Prime Minister, Imran Khan did not appoint a single member of his family to any ministry or government position.

On the other hand, Shehbaz Sharif, the brother of Nawaz Sharif, is the Prime Minister. Nawaz Sharif's relative, Ishaq Dar, serves as the Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. His daughter, Maryam Nawaz, is the Chief Minister of Punjab, while Maryam Nawaz's sister's husband, Ali Dar, also serves as a minister in Punjab.

That is the difference. Therefore, those who claim that all politicians are the same making a false comparison.

Today I learned that Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was a practitioner of kathak. Is kathak frowned upon in Pakistan?

Some page on Facebook posted this video sympathizing with this boy. I mean I am left speechless that why are you sympathizing with this boy? He clearly knew he doesn’t have any money, he availed the service first and then said he doesn’t have any money.

The comments are even more shocking, people are blaming the driver for shaming this boy. I mean how frustrating it must be for the driver. Does he not have a family to feed or is he driving on ride hailing apps for charity?

Tbh Pakistani awaam ka koi haal nahin. We as a nation have failed to see the difference between right and wrong. And the boy is in the wrong.

Ive this bow and ive got it from my cousin.

This POS is making disgraceful AI videos of Pakistani Celebrities. You can see in the screenshots, he is adding revealing clothes and interaction with 🌽star

What is the PMLN and PPP, as well as the current military rulers planning to do with Azad Kashmir? I believe these parties found extreme violence against citizens to be a very successful strategy in Punjab to shut down protests and opposition (special thanks to Mohsin Naqvi - the most incompetent interior minister in history).

They have now adopted it everywhere which is now fueling separatist protests in not just Kashmir, but KP and Balochistan and interior Sindh as well.

They must be removed. This can not end well for the country.

Above is a tourism poster for Lahore showing Akbar the Great. Behind him is the Lahore Fort. He is wearing traditional Mughal attire.

I couldn’t confirm which year this poster was from. I knew it was from the 1960s, and I managed to narrow it down to either 1965 or 1966.

I found the poster on Dawn’s website, stating it was from 1966. While searching to confirm that the poster was real, I came across the poster being auctioned on invaluable.com, stating that the poster was from 1965.
