Because it pressurizes the Balance of Payments. Moreover Government has giver subsidy on electricity, so higher the prices of petroleum higher the subsidy is. Now one question I ask to you,

Why Government releases funds after riots ? What is purpose of that ? When there is no capacity where funds utilized ?

The Suffering soul in the scientific age

• Materialism is the death of spirituality

• Man's material progress versus moral decline

"Man has looked into the volcanoes,dived into the ocean,perforated the earth,winged its flight in the skies.This material progress has led him to ditch of moral deprivation.etc

• What is soul and its importance

• soul is immortal,body is mortal

• Truth beautifies soul

,
Keats says,"Beauty is truth,truth beauty,that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know

• description of soul In literary works

Faustus cries out for his soul,fears eternal damnation

John Proctor in "The Crucible" says, I have given you my name,leave me my soul.



On individual level

• Frustration,depression,despondency

• examples of two men belonging to this scientific age

One who seduced female dead bodies

One who raped small children


On Family Level

• weak bond of affection

• example of western countries

old homes,Orphanages (having children who don't know the names of their fathers)

• Youngsters have no sense of direction,they are confused because of weak

family institutions

On National and International level

• souls have become impure

• no sympathy for mankind

example ,nuclear bombing on Nagasaki

• Material progress has made man hollow inwardly.

Seamus Heaney has depicted well the hollowness of modern man in his poem,"The Hollow Men"



1)Materialim

• it has deprived man of joy,love,affection and harmony.

• he runs after material progress,therefore neglects his soul

2)Lust for power

• man wants to attain power by hook or crook,he ignores his soul

"Power corrupts man and absolute power corrupts absoulutely"

example of character of Kurtz by Joseph Conrad.

He cries out,fearing damnation of his soul,

"The horror ! The horror"


3)astrayed from religion

• all religions support love and kindness for humanity.People of this scientific

age are astrayed from the way of religion,that is why,their souls are suffering.

• The sufi poets emphasized on purgation of soul but their messages have been

ignored.

• A sufi poet said,

"Kadi Mann apnay wich tu warrya he nae"

You never introspected your heart.

• Generally all prophets and specifically Holy prophet (PBUH) laid emphasis on

love for mankind.

"If one kills a man with no reason,one kills the whole humanity"

• Method of Introspection should be adopted to purify soul

• Spirituality should be focused rather materialism

• Love and peace should be spread.

• Teachings of religions generally and Islam specifically should be followed

• The only food for soul is self control and prayers

ہے دل کے لیے موت مشینوں کی حکومت
احساس مروت کو کچل دیتے ہیں آلات

(The reign of machines is the death of heart.The instruments crush the feelings of courtesy and kindness.)

• Materialism is the death of spirituality: Unless materialism is clearly defined, this statement tends to ignore the importance of the material world. Islam has laid great emphasis on the material world: nature is a source of knowledge in the Quran.
I think spiritualism and materialism ought to run parallel to each other. One should compliment the other.

• Truth beautifies soul: How are you associating the truth with spirituality in this context?

One who seduced female dead bodies; One who raped small children: We cannot restrain that argument exclusively to the scientific age. Similar examples to exist prior to the scientific age.

• it has deprived man of joy,love,affection and harmony: It would be appropriate to provide a few functional definitions of the terms since there are numerous measures of joy and happiness - material wealth; friends; intellectual satisfaction; etc.

• all religions support love and kindness for humanity.People of this scientific
age are astrayed from the way of religion,that is why,their souls are suffering: Again, this equally applies to the times prior to the scientific age. For instance, the crusades; the cult of the assassins, etc.

• Spirituality should be focused rather materialism: I would say materialism should supplement spiritualism.

• Teachings of religions generally and Islam specifically should be followed: I think it would be good to specify which teachings are the most basic and fundamental – Islam is the official religion in Saudi Arabia & Iran.

Thanks!

This was a great attempt!

Best of luck! :-)

1)Materialism(regarding topic) clearly means over- lust for materialistic pursuits,the one that deprives man of love,affection and kindness.The one that has turned him into machine.

2)An unseen topic it was ! I attempted it in my own way,perhaps I did justice with it.I appreciate your criticism but it's of no use for me as this outline isn't for mere practice;it can't be edited

Thank you & pray for my success
