Women should not be sad?

Imagine moonlight whispering secrets to a flower bowed by dew. That's the tenderness in Allah's words to women in the Quran:  " Do not be sad ."  These aren't just words; they are luminous embraces meant to soothe the soul. See how gently He speaks:  "So that her eyes may find coolness and she would not grieve." (Al-Qasas)  It's like a soft hand wiping away tears.  Again,  " That their eyes may find comfort and they may not grieve." (Al-Ahzab)  A promise of solace. Even in moments of great trial,  "Do not grieve," (Maryam) a whisper of hope.  And again, a double blessing: "Do not fear and do not grieve." (Al-Qasas) Why this repeated tenderness? Because Allah, in His infinite wisdom, understands that a woman's sorrow resonates deeply. It's not a fleeting shadow, but a storm that can shake her very core, dimming her light, weakening her strength, and stealing her peace. He sees the delicate architecture of her hear...

LOCKDOWN EXTENDED TILL 29th OF MAY...

The Telangana government on Tuesday extended the state-wide lockdown till May 29 with  Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao stating that the night curfew from 7 pm to 6 am will remain in the state.

Speaking to reporters at Pragathi Bhavan in Hyderabad, the Chief Minister said that the capital was continuing to report cases each day and that extending the lockdown was the only way to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noting that the three districts that constitute Hyderabad — Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Ranga Reddy — had a high number of cases, KCR said, "We cannot compromise here and take any risks. 66% of all cases are from the limits of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) only. 25 of the total 29 deaths are also from here." "People here should cooperate with us. There is a chance for community spread. We are worried," he added.

The Chief Minister said that people aged above 65 and young children have been asked to stay indoors until the lockdown period ended, as they are more vulnerable to being infected.

The state government said that despite the Centre's orders, shops will not open in red zones in the state. This would include liquor stores, which have opened up in many parts of the country. "We will not open any shops in the red zones. We will continue with shops providing essential services as it is. Some exemptions will be made for electrical, hardware and cement shops, which can remain open," KCR said. "People in Hyderabad may be upset with me, but I have no other choice. We will observe the situation till May 15 and take a call on our future course of action," he added.

KCR said that except for the six red zones, shops can open in the rest of the state. In rural areas, shops can re-open as per normal from the mandal headquarters down to the village.

In municipalities, shops will not be allowed to open as physical distancing will be difficult to maintain. Here, only 50% shops will be opened.
