Majlis Al Shura - House of Oman's indegenous democracy (Article) - 12/21/2002 12:26:24 AM
"Shura" is the cornerstone of democracy in any Islamic or islamic influenced society. Without "shura", there is no caliphate, Caliph Umar bin Khattab (RA)is reported to have said. Therefore "shura" is a guarantee against injustice. What today goes for democracy in many parts of the world is actualy a competion between oligarchies - hoodwhinking of the unsuspecting electorate. The media manipulates the electorate into thinking that the big economic barons are working for their interest. What you write here is important if Muslim nations are to guide themselves towards prosperity without losing the direction of their traditional values. Thanks, ZAN

One thing I'm sure of is that my mother is like your mother and I am her son in the real sense of the word. Your love for mother obviously demonstrates the beauty of your heart. I like my mother much the same as you do but unfortunately she is dead. She passed away in Feb. 1998 while talking to her. Thanks Madhu Nambiar for this soul-touching poem

Respected Poet, Editor,
The most waste and vast of our time
Remains hidden, and sudden it gives some chime...
The more difficult is to remain without any work...
Which gives glory to our Saints, Poets, Philosophers...Savants
...
God Bless the Poetry Readers...
yours cordially,
N.K.OSHO

This is very apt as being a day dreamer myself, I am useless at everything except writing. Very novel and interesting concept.
