Success Is Not an Accident Inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo
The world-famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo once said: “Success is not an accident.” This short sentence carries a deep meaning. Success never comes by chance — it is the result of hard work, discipline, sacrifice, and strong determination. Ronaldo’s own life is the best example of this truth. The Story of Hard Work Ronaldo did not reach the top of football by luck. He came from a poor background, faced many challenges, and still never gave up. Every day of his life is focused on training, improving himself, and staying committed to his goals. His journey teaches us that dreams only come true when we are ready to work hard for them. Success is not an accident 🟡🔵 pic.twitter.com/PGQmtOut6e — Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) October 18, 2025 Effort Matters More Than Luck Many people believe success depends on luck, but the truth is that luck helps only those who are prepared. Success comes to those who take small, consistent steps toward their goals — whether it’s in studies, sports, or any other part of life. Conclusion Ronaldo’s quote reminds us that success is a planned journey, not an accident. If we work with dedication, value our time, and never give up, then success will surely follow.

The Three Khans of Bollywood Spread a Message of Unity and Gratitude in Riyadh
In the world of cinema, Bollywood’s three Khans — Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan — are currently in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where a grand show called “Juwai Forum” is taking place. These three superstars are not only immensely popular in India but also enjoy great fame and admiration across the globe — and now, increasingly in the Arab world as well. One of the special qualities that set these three Khans apart from others is their humility and positivity. They never speak ill of anyone — whether that person is present or absent. Instead, they openly praise others. If a past mistake is brought up, they don’t hesitate to apologize and promise not to repeat it. During the event in Riyadh, Salman Khan said that Aamir Khan comes from a film background, and so does he. But Shah Rukh’s story is different — he came alone from Delhi, without any connections in the film industry. To this, Shah Rukh Khan responded by saying, “I also come from a film background because Salman Khan and Aamir Khan’s families are my family.” Aamir Khan added, “Shah Rukh Khan is a true star.” At one point, Salman Khan also reminded everyone, “We should be thankful to Allah and not be ungrateful.” So, in Riyadh, the three Khans stood together on one stage — expressing gratitude to God, promoting brotherhood, and sharing love and respect for one another. Their mutual affection and appreciation often make their critics and rivals uneasy. After writing about this, my reflection is: these film stars may only be Muslims by name, but they still possess many beautiful Islamic qualities — humility, gratitude, forgiveness, and love for others. I wish the same qualities could be found among the leaders of our religious groups and organizations — that they, too, would praise each other, avoid backbiting, and stand together on one stage to appreciate one another’s good work. Such gestures would send a powerful and positive message to the people. [...] Read more
A Gift from Nature for the People of Gaza
In the southern coastal city of Khan Younis, the sea offered the people of Gaza a sight that felt almost miraculous — a rare and extraordinary fish was caught in the fishermen’s nets. It was nearly ten meters long and weighed around two tons. For a land burdened by war, blockade, and hunger, this was no ordinary catch — it was a moment of joy amid endless suffering. Children, women, and the elderly rushed toward the shore to witness the scene. Some whispered, “This is Allah’s mercy.” Others said, “It’s a reward for our patience.” It felt as though the sea itself had laid a healing hand upon Gaza’s wounded heart. Where the air had long been filled with the scent of gunpowder, for a fleeting moment it carried the aroma of fish and hope instead. But this was more than just a fish — It was a message. A message that when the land is seized by oppressors, even the sea stands with the faithful. It was as if nature itself was saying: “I have not forgotten you, O people of Gaza. Your sustenance from the heavens can never be cut off.” [...] Read more

Russia’s Population Decline: A Growing National Crisis
Russia’s Population Decline: A Growing National Crisis Russia is facing a serious population decline, which has become one of the country’s biggest challenges in recent years. In 2024, only 1.22 million babies were born, the lowest number since 1999. Meanwhile, the number of deaths remained higher, accelerating the trend of natural population decrease. Why Are Fewer Babies Being Born in Russia? Experts point to several major reasons behind this decline — economic difficulties, financial insecurity, housing problems, and the rise in women’s education and employment levels. Modern Russian women are more educated and career-oriented than ever before. Many couples are uncertain about the future and concerned about the high costs of raising and educating children. As a result, more people are choosing to have fewer children or to delay parenthood altogether. This shrinking birth rate poses social, economic, and even defense-related challenges. The workforce is getting smaller, the elderly population is increasing, and fewer young people are available for military service — all of which could impact the country’s long-term stability. Government Measures to Address the Crisis To tackle this issue, the Russian government has introduced several family-support programs, including financial assistance for new parents, housing subsidies, maternity benefits, and extended parental leave. However, despite these efforts, the population trend has not improved significantly. Recently, authorities have announced a controversial and unusual policy — after 10 p.m., electricity and internet services will be temporarily suspended so that couples can spend more time together “offline.” The idea behind this move is to strengthen family bonds and encourage people to focus more on real relationships rather than virtual ones. Public Reaction and Expert Opinions The policy has received mixed reactions. Some people see it as an invasion of privacy or an unrealistic measure, while others consider it a creative way to revive family life. However, demographers and sociologists argue that symbolic actions like this are not enough. Russia needs long-term strategies that ensure economic stability, affordable housing, and stronger family-support systems to help young people feel secure about starting families. [...] Read more

Haji Mastan – The White Don of Mumbai’s Underworld
Whenever the history of Mumbai’s underworld is told, the very first name that comes to mind is Haji Mastan Mirza. He was the man who rose from the streets of poverty and built such a vast smuggling network that he became famous as a “Don.” But unlike ordinary gangsters, his personality was very different. He believed more in building connections and using intelligence rather than noise, violence, or bloodshed. Early Life Haji Mastan’s real name was Mastan Mirza. He was born on 1 March 1926 in Madras (today’s Chennai) in a poor but respectable Muslim family. His father, Abdul Aziz Mirza, was a craftsman and laborer, while his mother was a housewife who wished her son would live a simple life. Mastan had two brothers and three sisters, making it a large but modest household. Poverty and hardship eventually pushed the family to Mumbai, in search of better work opportunities. In Mumbai, Mastan started working at a very young age. He worked in a slipper factory and did several other small jobs. But his dreams were bigger. Poverty taught him that respect and luxury cannot be achieved only through hard work, but also through smartness and seizing opportunities. This mindset gradually led him into the world of the underworld. The White Don Haji Mastan’s personality was unique. He always dressed in white clothes and shoes, which is why people also called him the “White Don.” Unlike other gangsters, he didn’t raise his voice or show muscle power—his silent and dignified presence was enough to create fear. His main business was smuggling. From Dubai and the Middle East, he brought in gold, electronics, and expensive goods, which he sold in Mumbai’s black market. His network was so wide that even port and airport employees worked for him. Containers opened easily, and goods spread throughout the city without resistance. His greatest strength was that he used brains more than weapons. Even police and politicians hesitated to go against him. Although he didn’t directly engage in violence, his name alone carried so much weight that no one could do business in his territory without his permission. Traders knew that big deals were only possible with his approval. Ordinary people also saw him not as a street thug but as a true Don. His influence reached the police, politicians, and even Bollywood, which made opposing him almost impossible. Bollywood and Lifestyle Haji Mastan carefully built a network of trusted men—airport and port workers, local agents, and loyal aides. At the same time, he also entered the world of Bollywood. Many big actors and producers stayed close to him. It is said that he invested money in several films and even handled distribution for some projects. He had a deep love for the film industry. Big movie stars often attended his gatherings. He enjoyed luxury cars, bungalows, and lavish parties. His all-white appearance became his trademark. At the same time, he occasionally helped the poor, which is why some people saw him as a Robin Hood-like figure who not only worked for himself but also for others. Family Life Despite his underworld empire, Haji Mastan maintained ties with his parents and siblings. His parents were simple and religious and did not approve of his illegal activities, but they could not stop him either. Mastan continued to support them financially so they could live comfortably. His brothers and sisters lived ordinary lives and were not directly part of his “business world.” Haji Mastan married Sophia, a Bollywood actress who resembled the famous actress Madhubala. Sophia worked in a few films but didn’t find much success and later settled into family life. Mastan gave her a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle. They had children too. According to some sources, their son was named Shoaib Mirza and their daughter Shaheen Mirza. However, the children chose to live normal lives, away from their father’s illegal trade. Death and Legacy Haji Mastan’s life ended on 9 June 1994, when he died of a heart attack in Mumbai. His death created a mixed reaction across the city. Some people said a major smuggler had died, while others said a man who sometimes helped the poor was gone. To his admirers, he was the “Smart Don,” while to critics, he was the founder of Mumbai’s organized crime world. He was buried in Mumbai, where his grave still exists, and people sometimes visit to offer prayers. [...] Read more
Why does the United States want Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan?
The idea of Bagram Airbase did not suddenly occur to the United States; in fact, they had been working on it for several months. Trump himself admitted this and said that one group, however, is still obstructing this matter (i.e., the Taliban). Therefore, Trump has now issued a direct threat, saying that Bagram must be handed back to America at all costs, otherwise be prepared for the consequences. On the other hand, Pakistan’s Afghan border is continuously plagued by civil strife. Not only that, but Khawaja Asif has even declared Afghanistan as an enemy. Pakistan had already spoken about nominating Trump for the Nobel Prize, so if America needs Pakistan’s help regarding the Bagram base, Pakistan will surely add weight to America’s side. Pakistan’s neighboring country, Iran, has repeatedly said that regarding the ceasefire with Israel, it fears that Israel might restart the war. If that happens, the importance of Bagram Airbase will increase significantly. On the other side, Saudi Arabia has historically considered Iran its rival, and Pakistan has already signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia. So, in the face of rising fears of war, what will Pakistan do? Pakistan will do what it has always done: in case of any aggression against Iran, it will only offer condemnation and moral support—nothing beyond that. [...] Read more
