Editing

This Ramzan sharif I've been busy editing this blog for brevity, consistency & clarity.

Among the steps I've taken is to drop the long honorifics, and confusing abbreviations such as RA, and use English instead [e.g. may God sanctify his secret for RA] wherever possible, as Hazrat Shahidullah Faridi often did when writing in English.
PBUH has been replaced by "peace be upon him."
Hazrat is one honorific I've kept.

This is to make it easier for English speakers, since now I cater to Urdu speakers with Urdu posts too.

The ideological posts on Pakistan have all been heavily edited, usually for brevity & clarity. In some cases I've changed my mind, modified my opinion, toned down the language. Well, I'm a dad, turn 40 this week انشا الله [God-willing], have mellowed down. Somewhat.


Have a good month of fasting, God bless :)
فی امن الله
