Digital Cable TV System in Pakistan Now
However, it looks that the rollout is somewhat mismanaged and mis-planned by all the cable operators. It is apparent that either they are fully prepared to go digital, or they are contented with their current analog cable TV system. This is why they are not advertising the new cable TV system, but tiny tickers on the screens.
What we mean by digital cable TV services?
By Digital cable TV we may mean broadcasting TV channels on digital signal. If we keep end user in mind then, it may mean cable TV channel that we watch in analog transmission will be more enhanced in picture quality and sound.
The digital cable TV system will facilitate customers with 200+ TV channels inclusive of 80 analog channels. Analog channels can be viewed without the digital receiver they will provide for using digital cable TV services.
What involves in digital cable TV package?
•STB (Digital Cable Receiver)
•RSA Cables, commonly called A/V cables for connecting with TV.
•Remote with batteries
•10 or 30 Meter cable from tower to home.
Price:
Like Analog Cable TV, Digital Cable TV pricing has no standard as well. Common prices that are being offered by cable operators are:
•First Time charges would be ranging from PKR 4000-5000 inclusive of STB’s price.
•Per Month line rent charges would be PKR 300 / 400 per month, this will include analog and digital cable charges.
What you should know before buying Digital TV Package from cable tv operator?
•Existing analog cable TV will remain in the same place, while for digital service separate connection will be installed.
•Ask for RJ-7 or Higher Grade cable from your cable TV operator.
•STB Manuals.
•Ask your Cable operator for STB Return policy (if any), like if you change your area then will it possible for you to use same STB in different area. As this could be possibility that receiver is encrypted with different module and can only work in the same area where you are residing.
Conclusion:
No doubt, it is best step by PEMRA to take the ICT to the next level. Though, it is bit late as world is now experiencing more enhancements in the same arena.
While with that, PEMRA also need to provide guidelines to customer about the new services by publishing guidelines in media. This will not only help in educating customer about new services but will also help PEMRA and Cable TV operators in achieving customer trust about these services.
As just in my surroundings most of the people believe that digital TV Cable offered by local operators might get be blocked soon (As they don’t know it’s legally broadcasted) – along with there are other fears in the mind of customer.
Telenor Becomes 2nd Largest Mobile Company of Pakistan
Telenor was almost one million subscribers behind Ufone in January 2008; however, they significantly geared their sales in first two quarters of 2008 and grabbed 2 million new customers in only 6 months. This was not only the heights number of customers earned by any cellular company, but also it helped Telenor to sit firm at second position.
Since the year 2005 Ufone had retained its second position and was considered to be the second biggest mobile phone operator in Pakistan.
I am not sure what exactly made this to happen, I am still thinking over the decisive elements that made Telenor Pakistan to cross Ufone. My initial thought is the Heavy Advertising that Telenor has been carrying throughout the year. Otherwise, packages from both companies are going neck to neck; with Ufone even little better in services. Telenor took some brave decision during the second quarter, to directly compete with Mobilink and Zong…this gave them the positive marking hence fetching more costumers.
Subscribers’ Details (As Per May 2008)
Mobilink: 31,958,597
Telenor: 17,841,074
Ufone: 17,800,424
Warid: 15,114,678
Zong: 3,662,099
InstaPhone: 321,204 (As per April 2008)
Total Subscribers: 86,698,076
Mobile Tele-Density : 53.9 Percent

This city of ours is really strange:
it whispers at night
when we walk on the streets,
it beckons, and shows its wounds
as if they were the secrets of the heart.
Its windows are all shut;
its lanes silent;
its walls dead tired;
its doors sealed.
In houses only the corpses have
stayed on for years on rent.
Islamic Articles (Respecting our differences)
At that moment that Imam Malik sat down, a young boy had seen him sit without first praying the 2 raka`s of Tahiyyatul Masjid. The young boy scorned him, "Get up and pray 2 rakas!"
Imam Malik dutifully stood up once again and began praying the 2 rakas. The students sat stunned: What was going on? Had Imam Malik`s opinion changed?
After he had completed the salah, the students swarmed around and questioned his actions. Imam Malik said, "My opinion has not changed, nor have I gone back on what I taught you earlier. I merely feared that had I not prayed the 2 rakas as the young boy commanded, Allah may include me in the Ayah...
"And when it is said to them, `Bow (in prayer)`, they do not bow." - al mursalat 77/48.
Imam Ahmad held the opinion that eating camel meat nullifies ones Wudhu, an opinion that the majority of scholars differed from. Some students asked him, "If you find an Imam eating camel meat in front of you and - without first making Wudu - then leads the Salah, would you pray behind him?" Imam Ahmad replied, "Do you think I would not pray behind the likes of Imam Malik and Sa`eed ibn Al-Musayyab?"
Allah created humans with differences. It is the law of creation. Different tongues, different colors, different cultures...all that on the outside. On the inside, humans were created with many degrees of knowledge, intellect, and comprehension of concepts. This is all a sign of Allah`s all encompassing power to do whatever He wills:
"And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors: verily in that are signs for those who know." [30:22]
Humans shall differ, that is not the issue. The issue is: How as a Muslim should one confront these differences of opinions and what should be our relationship with someone of a different opinion.
Allah ta`ala commanded us to call and advise people in this Deen of Al-Islam. Many Muslims set off on this mission blindfolded, not realizing that the map was there in the Qur`an also. In fact, in the very same verse where Allah commanded us to call and advise people in this Deen, Allah taught us how to do it. Read the following verse carefully:
"Invite (fi`l Amr - Allah is commanding) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction and argue with them in a way that is best! " - Surah An-Nahl 16/125.
There is no need to philosophize. No need to talk in the flower gardens. It is right there, plain and simple for anyone who would take heed.
There in that Ayah are the three ingredients to apply when we disagree with someone. The same Allah that taught us to debate the truth, taught us how to do it:
1 - With Hikmah (wisdom)
2 - With good instruction, and
3 - To argue in a way that is best.
What does it mean to have Hikmah when differing with someone? The grandsons of Rasul Allah(saw) once set one of the most beautiful examples of Hikmah in advising others. Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn - in their young age - once saw a senior man performing Wudu incorrectly. Together they arranged a plan to teach the man without insulting him, advising him in a manner befitting of his age.
Together they went to the senior and announced, "My brother and I have differed over who amongst us performs Wudu the best. Would you mind being the judge to determine which one of us indeed performs Wudu more correctly."
The man watched intently as the two grandsons of Rasul Allah performed Wudu in an explicit manner. After they had completed, he thanked them and said, "By Allah, I did not know how to perform Wudu before this. You have both taught me how to do it correctly."
We must understand that there are two dimensions to Hikmah. Firstly, there is the Hikmah of knowledge - Hikmah Ilmiyyah. And secondly, there is the Hikmah of Action - Hikmah Amaliyyah.
Some people may have Hikmah of knowledge. But we see that when they try correcting others, advising them, they lack the Hikmah of Action. This causes many a common folk to reject the Hikmah of knowledge.
To illustrate this hikmah of knowledge without Hikmah of action, a brother once completed the Salah in a local Masjid and then proceeded to shake hands with the people on his right and left. The brother to his immediate right slapped his hand and snapped, "That is not part of the Sunnah!" The man replied most correctly, "Oh, is disrespect and insult part of the Sunnah?"
To show Hikmah when we differ requires the following:
Sincerity
One: If we differ, our intentions should be that we are differing in the sincere hope of coming away with the truth. Our intentions should be sincere to Allah.
We should not differ just to release some hate or envy in our heart. We should not differ to embarrass someone like we may have been embarrassed.
Rasul Allah said, "Whoever learns knowledge - knowledge from that which should be sought for the sake of Allah - only to receive a commodity of the material world, he shall not find the fragrance of jannah on the day of resurrection." - An authentic hadith narrated by Abu Dawood in Kitab Al-Ilm.
Kindness and Gentleness
Two: To have Hikmah when differing means we should rarely depart from an atmosphere of kindness and gentleness, we should seldom allow ourselves to become angry and raise our voices.
Fir`own (Pharaoh) was one of the evilest people that lived. Musa was one of the noblest. Look at how Allah told Musa to advise Fir`own...
"Go, both of you, to Fir`own. Indeed, he has transgressed. And speak to him with gentle speech, perhaps he may remember or fear (Allah)."
A man once entered upon the Khalifah and chastised him for some policies he had taken. The Khalifah replied, "By Allah, Fir`own was more eviler than me. And by Allah, Musa was more pious than you. Yet, Allah commanded him...`And speak to him with gentle speech, perhaps he may remember or fear (Allah).`"(by Muhammad Alshareef )
Islamic Articles (12 Tips for Muslim Youth)
All work we do should ideally be for the sake of Allah. That includes the task of bringing someone closer to Allah. That of course means this should not be connected to arrogance, thinking you`re the teacher and everyone else should be lucky you`ve embarked on a crusade to save them. Guidance is from Allah. Make Dua and make sincere efforts and remember Allah can also misguide you if He wills (we seek refuge in Allah from that).
Tip& 2 : Practice What YOu Preach
Not practicing what you preach is wrong and you will lose the confidence of anyone, young or old, once they figure you out. Don`t do it.
Tip& 3 : Use The Quran Seerah (biography of the Prophet peace be upon him) As Dawa Guides
Read and understand those chapters of the Quran which talk about how the Prophets presented the message of Islam to their people. Read the Seerah (for some good Seerah books)to see especially how the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) brought Islam to so many different people, including young people.
As well, talk to Dawa workers, and check out manuals they may have written, like Yahiya Emerick`s How to Tell Others About Islam.
Tip 4 : Talk To People As If You Really Dont Know Them
Don`t assume you know someone just by looking at them. You don`t know that the Muslim girl in your homeroom who walks through the school`s hallways as if they were fashion show catwalks (see Ambe Rehman`s perspective on this) is not someone you can talk to about Allah because she looks like a snob. Or that the Muslim guy who you`ve never seen at Juma at your university is a "bad Muslim". Maybe he was never really taught Islam and has no idea what importance Friday prayers have in Islam, especially for Muslim men.
Tip& 5 : Smile
Did you know the Prophet was big on smiling? But many "practicing" Muslims seem to have "their faces on upside down" as one speaker once said-frowning and serious.
Smiling, being polite and kind are all part of the manners of the Prophet, which we must exercise in our daily lives. If we want to approach others with Islam, we have to make ourselves approachable. Smiling is key to this.
But note that being approachable does not mean being flirtations with the other gender. There are Islamic rules for how men and women should deal with each other which have to be respected. Dawa is no excuse to have long and private conversations and meetings with the other sex, for example. Set up a system where someone expressing an interest in Islam is referred to someone of the same sex.
Tip 6 : Take The Initiative Hang Out With Them
Take the first step and invite someone you may have spoken to a couple of times to sit at lunch together, to check out a hockey game or invite them over for Iftar in Ramadan. Also, share difficulties, sorrows and frustrations. Help with homework, be a shoulder to cry on when depression hits, or just plain listen when your friend is upset, discuss common problems and KEEP THEIR SECRETS. There are few things as annoying as a snitch and backstabber. But an important note: if the problem is of a serious nature,(i.e. your friend is thinking of committing suicide or is taking drugs), notify and consult an adult immediately.
Tip& 7 : Show Them Islam Is Relevent Today, Right Here, Right Now
Young people may think Islam is too "old fashioned" and not in tune with the modern age. Prove this wrong. Show how Islam is really about relating to Allah, which any human being can do, anywhere, anytime. Allah is always closer to you than your jugular vein and He hears and knows everything. Encourage friends to ask Allah`s help during tests, exams, and in dealing with problems at home with parents and siblings. Also point out how Islam relates to teenagers: Islam gives you focus and an understanding of who you are and where you are going, which most of "teen culture" does not.
Tip 8 : Get Them Involved In Volunteer Work With You
If you are already involved in the community, get your friend to help out. Ask them to make a flyer for one of your youth group`s events or brainstorm for ideas about activities to hold this school year. This involvement makes them feel part of the Muslim community and deepens your friendship, since you are now working together on something beneficial for both of you. Make sure you thank them for their contribution.
Tip 9 : Ask Them 4 Fundamental Questions
As your friendship develops, you will notice the topics you discuss may become more serious. You may be discussing, for instance, future goals and plans. Khan recommends four questions to ask that can steer the topic to Allah and Islam:
a. Where am I going in life and what would make me really happy deep down inside?
b. What do I believe?
c. Who should I be grateful to?
d. Did I get to where I am today without the help of anyone?
Tip 10 : Emphasize Praying 5 Times A Day Before Any Other Aspect Of Islam
A person`s main connection with Allah, on a daily basis, is through the prayer five times a day. Don`t emphasize any other aspect of Islam until your friend starts making a real effort to pray five times a day. Emphasize the direct connection one has with Allah in prayer. If they are facing a problem, tell them to pray, and to ask Allah for help in Salah and outside this time. When possible, make it a point to pray together during your "hang out time". If your friend begins to pray, that is the first step to other aspects of Islam like giving up swearing, treating parents with respect or dressing Islamically.
Tip 11 : Help Instill Confidence In Adults
Adults, like Bart Simpson`s dad Homer, are considered bumbling idiots in the eyes of "teen culture". Your job as a young Muslim is to help turn the tables on this false and unIslamic belief. All you have to do is this: when a Muslim adult does something good (i.e. saving someone`s life, donating money to a worthy cause, the Imam gives a good speech, taking good care of his/her family) bring it up in the course of your conversations with your friend and praise the adult in question. Doing this regularly may not only change your friend`s perspective, but could lead to them seeing their own parents in a more respectful way.
Tip& 12 : Support Them Even When They Become More Practicing
Remember, just because a person starts practicing Islam more regularly, this does not mean everything will be okay from this point onwards. There will still be hard times, difficulties. There may be times when your friend may have doubts about his or her newfound practice of Islam. Be there to reassure them.
