Can life be prolonged? by Dr Ghayur Ayub
Posted By: Ghayyur_Ayub Created On: 19/Aug/2019 Views: 1821 Replies: 0 
When I was working at Pakistan Medical Institute of Sciences (PIMS) Islamabad, I treated a well-known religious scholar of Pakistan. We became friends. I learnt a lot about daily matters linked directly to Islam. In one of our discussions, I asked him whether life could be prolonged. He answered in affirmative and supported his argument with an incident that one day Prophet (PBUH) was sitting with Click here to read Full Article

Kun Fia Kun By Dr Ghayur Ayub
Posted By: Ghayyur_Ayub On: 1/Aug/2019 Views:1609 Replies:0 
Science tells us that living beings passed through a long process of evolution from non-living geochemical state to living biochemical state. As a Muslim, I am guided by Quran and from a very young age my Islamiat teacher taught me that Quran is against science. For example, I was told that the first human was created by Kun Fia Kun (Be and it is) and that Quran doesn’t believe in evolution. The Click here to read Full Article
Dietary Pyramids by Dr. Ghayur Ayub

A single incident in 1955 when President Eisenhower suffered a heart attack practically changed the future dietary pattern of the world. The resultant deliberations on the subject of heart diseases and dietary regimens took the academia by storm. Researchers like pathologist Ansel from Minnesota came up with the theory that heart diseases were linked to saturated fat and cholesterol. His work was Click here to read Full Article

Terrorism started creeping into Pakistan from Afghanistan in the 1990s. In late 1996 I was appointed as Director General of Health by the interim government of Meraj Khalid and stayed in that position till October 1999. During my tenure, I realised that ministry of health could indirectly help the government countering terrorism by using three health activities: 1.

Islamic Democracy for Pakistan By Dr Ghayur Ayub

Democracy has become a buzz word among politicians, elites, and intellectuals in Pakistan. They forget that it was democracy which brought down the Greek Civilization after it divided the country into 42 sub-states. History tells us that ever since, it has been crumbling cultures, customs and civilizations by using one or more of its following four forces; * Pharaonic; when the elected leaders ph Click here to read Full Article
 
Zakota Jinns By Dr Ghayur Ayub
Posted By: Ghayyur_Ayub On: 26/Sep/2018 Views:1906 Replies:0 
This term was introduced by a well-known journalist and anchor person Rauf Klasra for the bureaucrats of Pakistan. I agree with him but not all bureaucrats are Zakota Jinns. Clear majority is. Working as director general of health from 1996 to 1999, I came across such Jinns. They were full of arrogance trying to impose their self-centered opinions rather than concentrating selflessly on bettermen Click here to read Full Article
Pak-Turkish role in global politics by Dr Ghayur Ayub

This is the story of two Muslim states – Turkey and Pakistan. Both Sunni Muslims. Turkish follow spiritual Islam and Pakistanis traditionalist Islam. Also, Turkish people have free mindset as their ancestors ruled the world for centuries. Pakistanis have slave mentality as their ancestors were ruled by others. Accordingly, this mindset transmitted into Turkish leadership with exception of a few se Click here to read Full Article
 
Science and Quran on creation of life (Part I) by Dr Ghayur Ayub
Posted By: Ghayyur_Ayub On: 21/Apr/2017 Views:3003 Replies:0 
Living in a modern world of science, how could one balance Islam with science as the two seemingly run on a collision course. At least that's what our traditionalist religious custodians tell us. For example, take the creation of life on earth. The traditionalists give a completely different picture of its origin than what the scientists tell us. The scientists say that earth came into existence Click here to read Full Article
More provinces in Pakistan by Dr Ghayur Ayub
Posted By: Ghayyur_Ayub On: 11/Apr/2017 Views:2270 Replies:0 
During the last days of PPP government, a voice from Hazara resurfaced demanding a separate Hazara province. It was the voice of the white bearded Haider Zaman Khan who has been struggling for a separate province for many years. The independent media picked it up and spread it like a wild fire. Soon, the media-addicted public started asking for divisions of all the provinces. Two provincial assemb Click here to read Full Article
 
A tribal province by Dr Ghayur Ayub

Describing Pashtuns on April 26, 1903 at Shahi Bagh Peshawar, Lord Curzon said, “Pathan is a curious mixture. He is a man of war but he is also a born trader.” He was talking about Pashtuns’ trading capabilities and comparing them with other races in India. Had he gone in details he would have mentioned that Pashtuns lived their lives on three platforms. First, their culture which is broad based a Click here to read Full Article
Don't let Parachinar burn By Dr Ghayur Ayub
Posted By: Ghayyur_Ayub On: 8/Feb/2017 Views:2148 Replies:0 
One day, during the exile in London, Mr Nawaz Sharif asked me to brief him about Parachinar. I did. After listening to me with keen interest he looked at me and said, “Dr Sahib, I would like to visit Parachinar and see the situation myself when we go back to Pakistan” That was an encouraging remark by my chief. Time passed. On September 10th 2007, I joined him with the group and landed at Islamab Click here to read Full Article
