NEVER PANIC

When a person tries hard to acheive a target , there comes a point in the struggle where it seems that all doors have got closed. They are so many people who later regret because as they quit, another door gets opened, but then its too late. When one comes too far in a struggle to reach their destination, there is no point in quiting because the person will be a loser then. To avoid such a feeling, one should never call quits, because no one except God knows when your fate is going to change.
Hardships and problems arrive in everyone's life regardless the fact if the person is good or bad. For some it comes earlier in life and for some in the later stages. Life in this world is a journey where we are tested always, one should not lose hope and faith during 'not-so-good' times because God is just testing us. Some people are under the scanner of such 'tests' so that they turn out to be better personalities with the help of experience they get during the time of turmoil. While, some people are put to a test as a punishment from God, so that they seek for forgiveness and vow never to repeat their mistakes.
People in the rural areas of NWFP and most of the area in Baluchistan are in a terrible state. The people living there have lack of education, poor health care systems, no drinking water, less job oppurtunities and have a poor transport system. The state of drinking water is so bad in Baluchistan, a stranger might not know that what he's going to drink is a lemonade or a drinking water ! As nothing substantial is done for them from the previous governements and leaders, there are many people who go astray on the name of religon. To escape from their daily struggle for food, clothing and shelter, these people are brainwashed by extremists so that they can be used for Jihad or for the purpose of breaking the country.
As these people are accustomed to hardships in life and lack of education, they are easily brainwashed and are used for negative purposes. Jihad is misintrepeted by the Western governements and media. Jihad is a duty of every muslim, hold on and dont panic, I will explain you the different branches of Jihad. Jihad is categorised in two forms - The Greater Jihad and the Lesser Jihad. The Greater Jihad is the fight against the evils inside your soul such as bad habits(smoking, drinking, not offering Salah, causing harm to other people, crimes,etc.). While, the Lesser Jihad is the fight against the people who 'declare' a war against 'Islam' i.e. only if the enemy strikes you in the name of 'religon', then one is supposed to defend. Significantly, if one is unable to do the Greater Jihad, he is not allowed to go for the Lesser Jihad in other words the person needs to look at himself in the mirror first. Religon is used in a negative way by the extremists so that they can gather support for their vested intrests which should not be the case.
But, the main factor for the people to go astray is that they are given financial support for the 'services' they provide.One wonders that from where such 'brain-washing organisations' get their funds, Has it got anything to do with the New World Order idealogy? However, by joining hands with extremists, be it religous ones or the ones who are indulged in 'activities' in the name of modernisation, is the most stupid way to escape from the hardships in life. One should not lose faith as another door will open when all seem to be closed, because God is making your patience stronger and you a better person in return for your continous struggle to make things better. God will give you the food but you have to make the morsel and eat it yourselves. In the same way, the new government should give oppurtunities with help of the resources they have in abundance for the people living there. In this way, ideas of disintegration will be burned down. But, the ball is in the court of people, who have to change themselves with positivity and choose the path of struggle in order to make life happier for themselves and the ones living around.
