A Report On The City Of Pakistan

During the Post-Classical Age, cities and urban areas in Muslim society played critical roles in religion because Muslim people had to make religious pilgrimages to Holy Cities such as Mecca and Jerusalem, trade because the cities had huge complexes which allowed trade to flourish, and cultural advancement because the cities were filled with a variety of different people as well as there were great advancement in education.

“Pakistan is led by one president as head of state, while the prime minister is the head of government. Parliament consists of a 104-member Senate in addition to a 342-member National Assembly”, Pakistan (2017). “Members of the Senate are elected by provincial assemblies to six-year terms, with 17 seats reserved for women. In the National Assembly, members are directly elected to five-year terms, with 60 seats reserved for women and 10 seats reserved for representatives of non-Muslims”, Pakistan (2017). In Pakistan, the voting age is 18. “Pakistan has no government supported welfare system, no entitlement programs, food stamps programs,

My family and I are immigrants from Pakistan. Even though I assimilated into American culture, in our house Pakistani tradition/culture prevails. We speak Urdu in the house, eat the food, wear the traditional clothing, listen to Pakistani folk music; and in the mix of the traditions are Islamic influences. What is so unique about this culture is that religion has been integrated into it, and the traditions I carry out, I consider normal. For example the food, Pakistani cuisine has a wide variety but there is a certain way the food should be prepared, more specifically the meat. Pork or pork products are not used in cooking, in Islam pigs are considered an unclean animal, thus forbidden. It is preferable to use alternatives such as goat, cow or chicken, but there is a certain way the animal should be slaughtered. Another example where religion is present in culture is the music. There is a special type of music called ‘Quawwil,’ (equivalent to Christian Gospel music), where a group of musicians come together and sing about Allah/God, the prophets, notably pious figures, or teachings. The language these tunes are usually sung in is Urdu with Arabic and is a common genre of music in Pakistani culture.

Located along the Tigris River, the city of Baghdad was founded in the 8th century as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. Within a short time of it’s inception, the city evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center for the Islamic world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions, garnered the city a worldwide reputation as the “Center of Learning”. In medieval times, Baghdad was even considered, by most, to be the largest city in the world. Though it was once the mighty capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, Baghdad has unfortunately fallen victim to the cultural and civil effects of countless wars. Unfortunately, in modern times the city’s reputation has been tainted with negativity. Previous historical conflicts, including: the 1258 Mongol conquest of Baghdad, the Ottoman–Safavid Wars (1532-1555 and 1623-1639), the 1990s Gulf War, and the 2003 war in Iraq have all contributed to how to citizens of Baghdad live today.

Set in the Fourteenth century in different regions of Africa and Asia, The Adventures of Ibn Battuta presents a precise representation of Ibn Battuta’s rihla , exemplifying a clear distinction between the different countries and regions he visited. Ibn Battuta began his journey by setting off from his home Tangier, Morocco to Mecca. “I braced my resolution to quit all my dear ones, female and male, and forsook my home as birds forsake their nests” (Dunn 69), as the much older Ibn Battuta wrote in his book of travels. During his travels by foot, donkey, camel and boat Ibn Battuta had visited almost all of the known Islamic world and more to pursue his ambition for knowledge and experience. This

The topic statement I chose was The Origins of Our Cities. I am personally interested in what caused the cities to form and function the way it did. How did these cities of our past affect us today? The main focus of the paper is to identify the principle of the cause & effect relationship in the development of these cities. The first cities were developed and formed near bodies of water and fertile areas of the region. For example, I wanted to do some research on the Sumerian civilization around the fertile crescent and how the ancient Sumerian deities, the Anunnaki, played a part in influencing their way of life and their formation of their cities/communities.

When I began attending my local mosque I was around seven years old. It was a fairly sized building, about the size of a house probably due to the fact that it was in the middle of a neighborhood. The place used to be a church but it was sold. When I first started attending, I remember the people there were mostly adults and the elderly. There weren’t too many kids like myself. I was fortunate to live close to the mosque that my parents would take me every day. My parents aren’t the most conservative people I’ve met, but we went there to hang out and also to pray. The prayer was the main primary reason and the “hanging out” part was something that developed over time. There are five main daily prayers that occur every day and the timings vary slightly depending upon the time in the year. My first encounter with this mosque was when I enrolled for their weekend school, which was for kids to learn how to read Arabic. The teachers taught us from the letters all the way to reading the Quran. The Quran consists of Arabic sentences and passages. The total number of pages in the Quran is close to six-hundred pages total. It took me one year to learn how to read Arabic, and it took me three years to read through the Quran once. It’s not very complicated once you get the feel for it, but it requires effort and dedication. We also were taught basic Islamic Studies. The topics were on how to pray, how to prepare for prayer, the basic pillars of our faith and it’s

Pakistan is a complex country, both because of harsh physical terrain and because of a historical unpredictable government. Pakistan is constantly in the news, and a topic of discussion in The United States. Many of the fighters the American forces are fighting in Afghanistan come from Pakistan, or at least find a safe haven in the mountains of western Pakistan. In addition, Pakistan is a nuclear-armed country that has a shaky government at best. I find it fascinating that a country that has a government with such a sporadic history filled with attempts to overthrow it and coups maintain a nuclear arsenal. How was this possible? I know that the United States and its allies put much effort into keeping countries such as Iran and North Korea from attaining nuclear weapons. What was going on during the development of Pakistan’s nuclear program? While Pakistan is an ally of the United States, in the region that Pakistan is located that could change quickly. In addition, I feel that you must prove that you are a stable country and society before you are permitted to possess such powerful weapons. Pakistan provides a very interesting topic of discussion that some people may not be aware. The two reasons listed above are the main reason I chose to write about Pakistan, knowing little else about the country, but through my research, I found that there is more to Pakistan than just those two areas, beginning with how the country initially formed.

A society that operates with male-dominated ideologies and mechanisms contributes to the disempowerment and subjugation of woman. This paper studies predicament of Muslim wives in society of Pakistan through institution of marriage as depicted in Tehmina Durrani’s My Feudal Lord, an autobiographical narrative. The publication of My Feudal Lord received many awards and made it exceptional and extraordinary literary work, which surfaces the issues of Muslim women of Pakistan, and is still relevant as it contributes to the feminist cause. The book is a painful account of a woman’s traumatic marriage in Pakistan, who suffers in silence for thirteen years and then decides to come out of the life of abuse and humiliation. It also highlights the hidden agency of a woman that has the potential to expose and challenge a male dominated society. Durrani’s courage, resistance and mighty pen become agents for change. These agents, along with exposition of assumed authority of debauchery and superiority of male culture assist her in dismantling established societal pattern of marriage. The process of evolution encourages her to reflect on the woes of other women in Pakistani society and the ways to counter violence, inequality and isolation in feudal trap. The paper demonstrates concerns like inequality, violence and male dominance and argues that despite caught in a patriarchal trap woman with her conviction and female agency finds a way to be heard and asserts herself in a conservative

Since its birth, Pakistan has been home to various multi-ethnic societies and groups in all its provinces. The activities of these groups have had varying impact on the political history of Pakistan. This paper analyses the impact of the Sindhi ethnic society (also known as the "Jeeya Sindh movement") on the political history of Pakistan during the 1970s. I then provide a critique of the government's response to the demands of these movements and then suggest my opinion as to how the government should have reacted so as to have a better outcome.

Women are considered inferior in Pakistan, blame Islam. The economy has gone down the gutter, blame Islam. The politicians are all crooked and in bed with the Taliban, it must have something to do with the long-dead Gen.Zia!
