Quiz Answer Key
The Welcome dialog allows you to customize your document before creation, including canvas appearance, keyboard shortcuts, icon appearance, and templates. To ensure it appears, go to Preferences (Edit menu on Windows, Inkscape menu on Mac), search for “welcome,” and check the “Show Welcome dialog” option.
The canvas is the entire drawing area, while the page is a white rectangular area representing the intended output size. Canvas and page colors are for visual preference only and do not affect the final printed or exported drawings; both are treated as transparent.
The stacking order determines which objects appear in front of or behind others. Two methods are using the Raise/Lower buttons in the controls bar when the selector tool is active, or by dragging objects within the Layers and Objects dialog.
The selector tool allows you to select, move, scale, rotate, and skew objects. To scale proportionally, select the object, grab a corner handle, and hold down the Ctrl key while dragging.
Clones are linked copies of an original object; changes to the original (color, size, rotation) are reflected in the clones. Copy/paste and duplicate create independent copies where changes do not affect the original.
The Align and Distribute dialog is used to precisely align and space objects relative to each other. The “anchor” determines the reference point; other objects will align or distribute in relation to it.
The Pen tool creates precise paths with straight lines and Bézier curves using defined anchor points, the Pencil tool draws freehand paths, and the Calligraphy tool creates brush-like strokes with variable width.
Nodes are points that connect path segments and control their shape. Smooth nodes create flowing curves, corner nodes create sharp angles, symmetric nodes create matching curves on both sides, and auto smooth nodes create automatic smooth curves as the node is moved.
Converting a shape to a path makes the shape’s geometry directly editable. You can change the nodes for the shape and create entirely new shapes from it. However, it removes the shape’s properties (e.g., corner rounding) and the ability to use the shape tools to adjust these properties.
Guidelines are visual guides that allow precise placement of the objects, while grids are a system of horizontal and vertical lines used to create proportional pieces.

Inkscape 2024: A Comprehensive Guide
Okay, here’s a briefing document summarizing the main themes and important ideas from the provided Inkscape guide excerpts.
This document summarizes excerpts from a comprehensive guide to Inkscape, a free and open-source vector graphics editor. The guide aims to equip users of all skill levels (graphic designers, illustrators, hobbyists) with the knowledge to create stunning vector graphics. It progresses from basic to intermediate and advanced topics, highlighting Inkscape’s power and efficiency.
I. Getting Started and Interface Basics:
Welcome Dialogue Customization: The guide starts with customizing the Inkscape environment via the welcome dialogue, accessible through Preferences (Edit > Preferences on Windows, Inkscape menu > Settings on Mac). This dialogue allows for adjusting canvas appearance, keyboard shortcuts (with a recommendation to stick with defaults initially), icon appearance, and switching to dark mode. Custom templates can be created and accessed here.
Quote: “The purpose of the welcome dialogue is to allow us to easily customize our document before we create it… like with everything else in the welcome dialogue we can also change the canvas appearance from inside the document itself”
Document Properties: The document properties dialogue (File > Document Properties) allows for changing page format (A4, US Letter, etc.), custom width/height, portrait/landscape orientation, display units (mm, pixels, etc.), and canvas/page background colors. Crucially, the canvas and page backgrounds are transparent when printing or exporting.
Quote: “The default dimensions of the page are the A4 paper size and if we had chosen a different template from the Welcome dialogue the page will have the dimensions specified in that template.”
Interface Elements:
Toolbox: Contains tools for creating and modifying drawings, resizable by dragging.
Commands Bar: Provides quick access to common commands (new document, import, export, undo/redo, copy/paste). Can be positioned at the top of the interface by disabling “wide screen” in the View menu.
Controls Bar: Displays functions related to the currently active tool.
Color Palette: Offers color swatches for easily changing object colors.
Status Bar: Shows information about the current object, layer, zoom level, and canvas rotation.
Layers: Allows organizing of drawings
II. Basic Shapes and Stacking Order:
Shape Tools: Introduces the rectangle, ellipse/arc, and star/polygon tools. Explains how to create these shapes, adjust their dimensions using handles or the controls bar, and modify their properties (corner rounding, arc/chord behavior, number of corners, etc.).
Quote: “In inkscape we have three tools for creating basic shapes we have the rectangle tool the ellipse and Arc tool and the star and polygon tool”
Keyboard Shortcuts: Emphasizes the use of modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) while creating and resizing shapes to constrain proportions, draw from the center, and snap angles. The status bar provides information on available keyboard shortcuts when hovering over handles.
Stacking Order (Z-Order): Explains how to change the order of overlapping objects using the “Raise to Top,” “Raise,” “Lower,” and “Lower to Bottom” buttons in the controls bar when the selector tool is active. Layers offer another way to manage stacking order.
Layers: Provides details on working with layers through the “Layers and Objects” dockable dialogue (Layer > Layers and Objects). Covers adding, deleting, hiding, locking, and reordering layers, as well as grouping objects within layers. Sublayers are introduced.
Grouping: Covers grouping selected object together, entering a group to add more objects, and ungrouping.
III. Selection, Transformation, and Cloning:
Selector Tool: Describes how to select, move, scale, rotate, and skew objects using the selector tool. Modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) are again important for constrained scaling, rotation, and skewing.
Rotation Center: Details moving the rotation center and rotating/skewing around it.
Copying and Cloning: Differentiates between copying/pasting, duplicating, and cloning. Cloning creates linked copies; modifying the original also changes the clones. “Unlinking” a clone creates a standalone object.
Alignment and Distribution: Explains using the “Align and Distribute” dialogue (Object > Align and Distribute) to align and distribute objects relative to a selected anchor (last selected, first selected, biggest/smallest, page). Snapping offers an alternative for direct on-canvas alignment.
Snapping: Details enabling/disabling snapping, using the snap controls, and controlling what to snap to. The user notes alignment lines can become annoying and suggests selectively disabling them.
IV. Paths and Path Manipulation:
Path Creation Tools: Covers the calligraphy, pencil, and pen tools for creating paths. The pen tool is highlighted as the most useful for creating paths. Describes creating straight and curved segments with the pen tool, and using Bezier handles to adjust curvature.
Node Tool: Introduces the node tool for editing paths by manipulating nodes. Explains different node types (corner/cusp, curved/smooth, symmetric, auto-smooth), and how to convert between them using buttons in the controls bar.
Adding/Deleting Nodes: Details adding nodes (by selecting two or more nodes and using the button in the controls bar, or by double clicking the node.) and deleting nodes (by selecting node and pressing the delete key.)
Shape to Path: Describes converting shape objects into paths (Path > Object to Path or button in controls bar) to enable node editing. Losing shape-specific handles (e.g., corner rounding) is noted, but the “Add Corners LP” tool offers a workaround for rounding path corners.
Path Operations (Boolean Operations): Explains the various Boolean operations (Union, Difference, Intersection, Exclusion, Division, Cut Path, Combine, Break Apart, Split Path, Fracture, Flatten) for combining and manipulating paths and shapes.
V. Guidelines, Grids, and Color Management:
Guidelines: Describes creating horizontal, vertical, and diagonal guidelines by dragging from the rulers (View > Show/Hide > Rulers). Details repositioning guidelines, setting their origin point, rotating them, locking them, and removing them.

Text Tool: Details using the text tool to add and edit text. Covers changing fonts, sizes, styles, spacing, alignment, subscript, and superscript.
Text and Font Dialogue: Covers using the text and font dialogue to edit font attributes and settings.
Path > Object to Path and Text to Glyph Explains converting the object to a path and separating the letters.
Text on path: Covers wrapping text around a path, shapes, and how to centre text.
Flow Text Discusses adding text into a box, shape or path
IX. Images, Clipping, and Masking:
Importing Images: Details importing images (File > Import, copy/paste, drag/drop), choosing between embedding and linking, with a recommendation to embed for simplicity.
Tracing Images: Covers manual tracing using the pen tool (Bezier and B-Spline modes).
Clipping and Masking: Explains clipping (Object > Clip > Set) and masking (Object > Mask > Set) to control the visibility of parts of an image or object. Clipping uses a path or shape to define the visible area, while masking uses the grayscale values of the mask object to control transparency. Explains releasing the clip and release mask features.
X. Filters:

Inkscape: A Guide to Vector Graphics and Design
Inkscape FAQ
1. What is Inkscape and who is it for?
Inkscape is a powerful, free, and open-source vector graphics editor. It’s for anyone who wants to create vector graphics, including graphic designers, illustrators, and hobbyists. It provides a wide range of tools and features, suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
2. How can I access the Welcome dialog in Inkscape if it doesn’t appear on startup?
On macOS, look for the Inkscape menu at the top left and find the “Preferences” option. On Windows, go to the “Edit” menu and select “Preferences”. In the Preferences dialog, search for “welcome” and check the “Show Welcome dialog” option.
3. What’s the difference between the canvas and the page in Inkscape?
The canvas is the large, usually gray, drawing area where you create your artwork. The page is the white rectangular area within the canvas, representing a specific size (like A4 paper). While you can draw anywhere on the canvas, the page is helpful for constraining designs to particular dimensions, such as for posters or PDF documents. Neither the canvas or page affect the drawings when exporting.
4. How do layers help in organizing artwork in Inkscape?
Layers allow you to organize different elements of your artwork into separate, manageable groups. You can control the stacking order of objects by placing them on different layers, and you can hide, lock, or rearrange entire layers to simplify the editing process. Sublayers allow you to group layers and hide or lock them all by hiding or locking the parent layer.
5. What are the basic shape tools available in Inkscape and how do they work?
Inkscape provides three main basic shape tools: the Rectangle Tool, the Ellipse and Arc Tool, and the Star and Polygon Tool. The Rectangle Tool creates rectangles and squares. The Ellipse and Arc Tool creates ellipses, circles, arcs, and pie slices. The Star and Polygon Tool creates stars and polygons with adjustable corners, rounding, and randomization.
6. How can I manipulate the stacking order (Z-order) of objects in Inkscape?
You can change the stacking order using the “Raise to Top,” “Raise,” “Lower,” and “Lower to Bottom” buttons in the Controls bar when the Selector Tool is active. You can also manage the stacking order within the Layers and Objects dialog by dragging objects up or down in the list.
7. What are paths and how do they differ from shapes in Inkscape?
Paths are the fundamental building blocks of vector graphics in Inkscape. Unlike shapes, which are predefined forms, paths are defined by nodes and segments, offering greater flexibility in creating complex and custom shapes. The Pen Tool, Pencil Tool, and Calligraphy Tool are used to create paths.
8. What are Path Effects and how can they enhance my designs?
Path Effects are special effects that can be applied to paths and shapes in Inkscape. They allow you to modify objects in non-destructive ways and create complex designs more efficiently. Some useful path effects include Corners (for rounding corners), Offset (for creating borders), Power Stroke (for tapered lines), Bend (for bending objects), Pattern Along Path (for repeating shapes along a path), Perspective Envelope, Interpolate Subpaths, Mirror Symmetry, Splice, and Tiling.

Inkscape: Paths and Node Editing Guide
In Inkscape, paths provide a way to create shapes and designs. Rather than using the basic shape tools, paths provide more precise control over the objects.
Key aspects of path creation:
Tools for Creating Paths:
Calligraphy Tool: This tool allows the user to draw calligraphic or brush-like strokes. You can adjust the width of the stroke and add rounding to the ends. There are also preset options for different brush strokes.
Pencil Tool: This tool is used for drawing freehand paths. A smoothing setting in the controls bar helps to reduce jaggedness in the paths.
Pin Tool: The pin tool is the most versatile for creating paths. You can create connected line segments by clicking several points. Finish the path by clicking on the first point to create a closed path, or right-click/press enter to leave the path open.
Nodes: Paths are made up of segments connected by nodes, which are like joints that connect segments of a path. The node tool (located under the selector tool) is required to see and access the nodes.
Node Types:
Corner/Cusp Nodes: Indicated by diamond-shaped handles.
Curved/Smooth Nodes: Indicated by square-shaped handles. These nodes have Bézier handles that can be adjusted to change the curvature.
Symmetric nodes: Bézier handles rotate together and maintain the same distance from the node.
Auto smooth nodes: As the node is moved, the handles adjust automatically to keep the curves smooth.
Node Operations:
Changing Node Types: There are buttons in the control bar to change a smooth node into a custom node and vice versa.
Adding Nodes: Add a node by selecting two or more nodes and clicking the button in the controls bar to add a node at the midpoint between the selected nodes or double-clicking a segment using the node tool.
Deleting Nodes: Select the nodes and press the delete key.
Breaking Apart a Path: Break apart a path at a selected node by clicking the corresponding button.
Joining Nodes: Select two nodes and click the button to join them together at the midpoint, or add a line segment between them if they aren’t connected.
Converting Shapes to Paths: Shape objects can be converted into paths, allowing you to edit their nodes. To do this, click the button in the controls bar for the node tool, or go to the path menu and choose object to path. After converting an object, you can no longer adjust aspects of the shape using its handles.
Rounding Corners: You can round the corners of a path using the add Corners LP button in the controls bar for the node tool.
Boolean operations: Boolean path operations can be performed between selected paths and shapes.
Inkscape Path Effects Guide
Path effects are special effects that can be applied to paths and shapes in Inkscape. Path effects can be accessed through the path effects dialog. To open the dialog, go to the path menu and choose path effects.
Here are some useful path effects:
Corners: This path effect is applied when using the add Corners LP button in the node tool. It allows for adjusting the rounding of corners near each of the object’s nodes. The radius of all the corners can be adjusted at the same time, or only selected nodes. Corners can be filleted, inverted, chamfered, or inverse chamfered.
Offset: This effect creates an outline around one or more objects. It is useful for creating borders around objects. The join type affects the appearance of the corners.
Power Stroke: This is useful for paths that only have a stroke. It makes the ends of the path tapered. Control points can be moved around to adjust the width of the path.
Bend: This effect bends the object. The curvature can be adjusted.
Pattern Along Path: Stretches or repeats a shape or path along another path. To use it, first copy the object to be used as the pattern. Then, select the path to put the pattern on and add pattern along path to it.
Perspective Envelope: This effect changes the perspective of an object or deforms its shape. The nodes at the corners of the object’s bounding box are used to change the object’s perspective.
Interpolate Subpaths: Interpolates between subpaths by creating new paths between them. To use this, an object that consists of multiple subpaths is needed.
Mirror Symmetry: Mirrors the object along a mirror line. The position and angle of the mirror line can be changed using the node tool.
Splice: Slices the object along a slice line. The node tool can be used to reposition and rotate the line.
Tiling: Repeats a path or shape in a ton of different ways. The way that the tiles are mirrored, the number of rows and columns, the gaps between the tiles, the offset of alternating rows or columns, the scale of the tiles and the rotation of the tiles can all be adjusted.
Multiple path effects can be added to a single shape or path. The order of the path effects can be changed, which can change the appearance of the final result. Path effects can be toggled on or off, or removed.

the welcome dialogue first this is pretty easy to fix to do so we need to open the preferences Dialogue on a Mac there should be an inkscape menu here here at the top left with a settings option inside the menu for those of us using Windows we can go to the edit menu and choose preferences we should now see the preferences dialogue at the top left we have a search box and if we search for welcome we’ll see an option down here that says show Welcome dialogue if we check this we can then close the preferences dialogue and the inkscape document and the next time we open inkscape it should bring up the welcome dialogue okay so the purpose Pur of the welcome dialogue is to allow us to easily customize our document before we create it for example in the quick setup tab we can change the appearance of the canvas which is the drawing area changing this won’t affect the actual drawings themselves it’s just a personal preference and like with everything else in the welcome dialogue we can also change the canvas appearance from inside the document itself as we’ll see in a bit next under keyboard we have some options for setting the keyboard shortcuts that inkscape uses for example if you’re already familiar with the keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Illustrator or Corell draw you can make it so inkscape uses the same shortcuts for following along with this course however I recommend sticking with the inkscape defaults for now below keyboard we have appearance the options in here will change the appearance of the icons the inkscape uses we can see a preview of the icons here I’ll stick with colorful finally we have the option to switch to dark mode and as I mentioned earlier we can actually do all of this from the document itself so I’ll just stick with the defaults for now and this supported by utab we can learn how to contribute our time and money towards inkscape’s development next in time to draw we have quite a few different templates to choose from this is useful if we need our drawings to have particular dimensions for example in print we can choose from various paper size formats like A4 us letter and business card under video we have different video sizes to choose from in case we wanted to create something like a slideshow for a video under social we have options for creating graphics for various social media platforms under screen we have options for different screen sizes shape Builder here has some templates that we can use for creating graphics with a shape Builder tool which we’ll learn about later in the course other has some templates for icons and for creating seamless patterns finally we can create our own custom templates which will be listed in the custom category and with that we can choose whether or not to show the welcome dialogue every time we open escape and once we’re ready to begin we can click new document when we start up a new inkscape document we get this big empty gray area in the center this is called the canvas and we can draw anywhere inside it we also have this white rectangular area in the center of the canvas this is called the page the default dimensions of the page are the A4 paper size and if we had chosen a different template from the Welcome dialogue the page will have the dimensions specified in that template as I mentioned previously the page is useful if we need to constrain our drawings to particular Dimensions like if we’re creating something like a poster or a PDF document we can also change the dimensions of the page and its appearance from directly inside the document itself to do so we use the document properties dialogue by going to the file menu and choosing document properties and here we can change the format of the page which basically contains the same template options we saw in the welcome dialogue we can also give the page a custom width and height and switch between portra and Landscape orientation under display we can set the display units for the document this is what the document uses to display things like the sizes and positions of objects in our drawings the default is millimeters but we can change it to something else like pixels for example next we have some color swatches with the page option we can change the background color of the page with the Border option we could change the color of the border and Shadow around the page and with the desk option we can change the background color of the canvas we can also give the entire canvas a checkerboard background and we can hide the page border or we can just hide the Shadow and by the way the colors of the canvas and Page have no effect on the actual drawings whenever we go to print or export our drawings as far as inkscape is concerned the canvas and Page are completely transparent so they won’t show up in the result this is all mainly for personal preference okay back in the interface to the left of the canvas we have the tool box this contains all of the tools we need to create and modify our drawings and we’ll be talking about them quite a bit throughout the course we can resize the toolbx by hovering over the right edge of it until our cursor changes to a double-sided Arrow then clicking and dragging to the right of the canvas is the commands bar this gives us quick access to Common commands like starting new documents importing and exporting do and redo and copy and paste we also have some more options which we can see if we click the arrow icon down here we can also put the commands bar at the top of the interface to do this we go to the view menu and uncheck wide screen this gives us a bit of extra space for the canvas next above the canvas we have the controls bar the controls bar contains functions related to the currently active tool in the tool boox we’ll learn about many of these functions as we discuss the individual tools below the canvas we have the color palette this provides us with some options for easily changing the colors of objects in our drawings finally we have the status bar this gives us some information about things like the colors of the object we’re currently working with as well as about the layer that we’re currently working inside layers allow us to organize our drawings and we’ll learn all about them pretty soon on the right side of the status bar we have options for zooming in and out on the canvas and for rotating the canvas we can also zoom in and out by holding down the control key and scrolling the mouse wheel up and down and if we go to the view menu we have some Zoom options in here as well finally to move around inside the canvas we can press down the mouse well and move the mouse in inkscape we have three tools for creating basic shapes we have the rectangle tool the ellipse and Arc tool and the star and polygon tool first up with the rectangle tool we can of course create rectangles and after we create one with the rectangle tool still active we get these little handles that at the corners of the rectangle we can use these square ones to change the size we can also change the size more precisely by coming up here to the controls bar and entering values for both the width and the height at the top right corner of the rectangle we have a couple circular handles with these we can round the corners to remove the rounding we can come up here and click this make Corner sharp [Music] button if we start creating a new rectangle and we hold down the control key it will constrain the width to height ratio we can use this to create perfect squares similarly resizing it while holding control will also constrain the ratio and if we hold down shift as we create one it will start creating from the center we can also easily change the color of a shape by selecting it and clicking a color swatch inside the color palette the next shape tool is the ellipse and Arc tool this tool by default let us create ellipses and like with rectangles we get some Square handles for adjusting the width and height now the ellipse of course doesn’t have corners so the circular handles work a bit bit differently than they do for rectangles if we drag one around the outside of the ellipse we can create a pacman or a slice of pie and if we drag inside the ellipse we can create arcs now if we look up here to the right of the controls bar we have these four buttons for changing the shape including slice Arc and cord with arcs and chords we can’t tell the difference between them unless the shape has a stroke around it to put a stroke around a selected shape we can come down to the color palette hold shift and click a color a stroke is basically an outline around the outside of the shape to change the width of the stroke we can come down here to the status bar where it shows the fill color the stroke color and the stroke width if we right click the stroke width it will bring up some options for changing it okay so with chords the stroke also goes along the flat portion of the shape with arcs on the other hand the stroke doesn’t appear at the flat portion we can see this even better if we turn off the main color of the object which is called its fill color by coming back down here and clicking the big red X all right now I’m going to set the fill color again and I’m going to turn off the stroke color by holding down shift this time before clicking the Red X finally back up here we have this button for making the ellipse whole again and like with rectangles we can hold control to constrain the width to high ratio which will let us create perfect circles and we can hold shift to draw from the center now let’s check out the star and polygon tool by default this tool creates five cornered stars to change the number of Corners we just come up here and adjust the corners setting with stars we get these two Diamond handles with the inner handle we can adjust the base radius this will also skew the star unless we hold down the control key with the outer handle we can adjust the tip radius as well as rotate the star holding down control will stop it from rotating the spoke ratio setting up here is for adjusting the base to tip radius ratio we can also around the corners using the rounded setting or we can just come over to one of the handles and drag it while holding shift and finally we can randomize the Angles and Corners either with this setting or by dragging a handle while holding down the ALT key now you’re probably thinking this is a lot of keyboard shortcuts to memorize but fortunately all we have to do is hover over over a handle and look down at the status bar and it would tell us what the handle does as well as what keys we can press to perform particular functions all right and to easily get back to the default five cornered star you can click this reset button up here now if we come back over to the left of the controls bar and click the polygon button it will change the shape to a five cornered polygon like with stars we can adjust the number of corners and we can round and randomize the corners finally if we start creating a new star or polygon we can hold down control to snap the angle of rotation to 15° increments whenever we have overlapping objects there will likely be times when we want to change the order in which they appear on the canvas this is called the stacking or Z order for example I might want to put this rectangle on top of the ellipse or send the triangle here all the way to the bottom to do this if we have the selector tool here active in the controls bar we have these four buttons raise to top raise lower and lower to bottom if I grab the rectangle I can bring it to the top by clicking the raise to top button if I grab the ellipse I can make it so it’s just above the triangle by clicking the raise button and if I click it again it will also be on top of the rectangle I can move it back down a step using the lower button finally if I grab the rectangle here at the top I can send it to the bottom of the stack using the lower to bottom button another way to manage the stacking order of objects is through the use of layers by default we start out with a single layer which as we can see in the status bar is called layer one all the objects we have so far are all inside layer one if we come up here to the layer menu we have a lot of options for working with layers however the easiest way to work with layers is by using the layers and objects dialogue which we can open by clicking layers and objects here this opens up what’s called a docko dialogue here on the right we can change the width of a doo dialogue by clicking and dragging it from the left side and we can see other available dockable dialogues by clicking the arrow button here we’ll cover some more of these dialogues throughout the course in the layers and objects dialogue we can see layer one in the list here and if we expand it we can see all the objects inside the layer and we can actually change the stacking order of the objects from here either by selecting one and clicking one of these Arrow buttons or by simply dragging them to different positions in the list another thing we can do is hide objects and lock objects if we lock an object we won’t be able to select it or move it around we can hide and lock entire layers as well now to add a new layer we click this button with the plus sign this brings up a little add layer dialogue where we can give the layer a name and we can choose whether to put it above below or as a sub layer of the current layer if we go with above and click add we can see the new layer above layer one in the list and now it’s the active layer so if we create a new object it will be added to the new layer and because the new layer is above layer one its objects will always stay above layer one’s objects if you want to put them below layer one all we have to do is grab Layer Two in the list and drag it below layer one now if we drag the layer inside layer one and release it becomes a sub layer of layer one this basically means that hiding or locking layer one will hide or lock both layers another thing we can do is drag objects into different layers and if we want to remove an entire layer including all of this objects we can choose it in the list and click the trash button now sometimes we might want to keep certain objects together that are inside the same layer for this we use grouping to group objects we select them then right click and choose group we can also group from the object menu and with the group button in the commands bar the grouped objects are now treated as a single object as we can see by the single bounding box around them also in the layers and objects dialogue the objects have been combined into a single item in the list labeled with a G for group we can expand the group to show the objects which allows us to select the individual objects again if you want to add more objects to the group we first need to right click it and choose enter a group now any objects we create will be placed inside the group to get back out of the group we can either select an object that’s outside of the group or we can use the selector tool to double click the canvas and an easier way to enter inside a group is to double click the group itself finally if we want to ungroup all the objects we can get back outside of the group then right click it and choose ungroup the selector tool as we’ve already seen allows us to select objects and move them around we can also select multiple objects by dragging a selection box all the way around them then we can move the objects together and if we click an empty area in the canvas it will deselect the objects another way to select multiple objects is to select the first one then hold down shift and select the others and if you want to easily select all objects we can use the shortcut control a something else we can do with the selector tool is scale selected objects by dragging around these scale handles at the sides and Corners if we hold down control as we do this it will maintain the width to height ratio and if we hold down shift it will scale in the opposite direction as well we can also rotate and skew selected objects to do this we click the selection which changes the handle types now the corner handles let us rotate it holding down alt snaps the angle to 15° increments and holding shift rotates around the opposite corner the side handles let us skew the selection and again holding alt snaps the angle and shift SKS from the opposite side now when we rotate or skew an object it does so around this little Crosshair which is called the rotation Center and is by default located at the center of the object however we can move the rotation Center somewhere else then rotate or skew around that point to put the rotation Center back at the center of the selection we can hold down shift and click the rotation Center and if we click the selection again it will switch us back to the scale handles we also have some buttons up here in the controls bar for transforming objects we can rotate at 90° counterclockwise rotate it 90° clockwise flip it horizontally and flip it vertically let’s say we want to make copies of an object one way to do so is with copy and paste for this we can rightclick the object and choose copy then rightclick somewhere else and choose paste another way is by duplicating to duplicate we right click the object and choose duplicate which creates a new copy directly on top of the original object with both of these options the copies are not connected to the original object in any way this means changing the appearance of a copy won’t affect the original object or vice versa but sometimes we might want to make it so that changing the original will also change the copies for this we use clones we can again do this from the rightclick menu by choosing clone now changing things like the color size and rotation of the original will also change the Clone and if we want to unink a clone from the original We select the Clone then go up to the edit menu then down to clone and choose unle clone this is now a standalone object so changing the original won’t affect it in order to make our design layout look nice we might want to align and arrange the objects in certain ways to do this we use the Align and distribute dialogue which we can open by going to the object menu and choosing a line and distribute in this dialogue we have quite a few options for aligning objects but before we do this we need to select some objects and we need to define the anchor by using this relative two box basically the anchor will stay in place and the other objects will move relative to it among the possible anchors to choose from we have the last or first selected object the biggest or smallest selected object and the page for example with last selected as the anchor if I first select these two smaller circles then select the biggest one the biggest one will be the anchor so now if I click for example the aligned left edges button the big circle stays in place and the smaller circles move so that their left Edge is align with the big circle’s left Edge similarly I can Center the smaller circles vertically in the big circle and horizontally if I choose page as the anchor I can align the circles to the page in various ways for the most part I like to keep the anchor on last selected we can also use the Align and distribute dialogue to distribute the amount of spacing between selected objects for example we can put equal horizontal spacing between them as well as equal vertical spacing now if we would rather be able to align objects directly on the canvas we can do so with snapping to enable snapping we can come up here to the top right of the canvas and toggle on this button now as we move objects around we get all of these lines that let us align things like the sides and centers of objects and we can also snap together particular points of objects like their corners or the quadrant points of ellipses if we come back up to the snap controls button and click the arrow next to it we get this popover that lets us enable or disable Bounty box snapping node snapping which includes the corner points of stars and the quadrant points of ellipses and we have an alignment option alignment is what brings up the red lines that let us align and distribute the objects on canvas I find this gets pretty annoying after a while so I like to keep mine turned off and if we click on advanced mode here we get full control control over the types of snapping we want to use for example we might want to snap together the rotation centers of objects we can also see in this list that we can snap to the borders of the page and finally if we click reset to simple snapping mode it brings us back to the simple popover the shape tools are great for quickly creating basic shapes but as our designs become more complex we need more control over the shapes that we use this is where paths come in and like with the shapes we have three main tools for creating paths the pin tool the pencil tool and the calligraphy tool first with the calligraphy tool we can easily draw calligraphic or brush Strokes in the controls bar we can change the width of the stroke with the cap setting we can add some rounding to the ends of the stroke we also have a lot of presets here that we can choose from which use different settings and give us different types of brush Strokes above the calligraphy tool we have the pencil tool with the pencil tool we can draw freehand pads and if we want we can turn off the fill color and give it a stroke by default the pets we draw with the pencil tool are pretty Jagged but we can fix that by coming up here to the controls bar and increasing the smoothing setting now the pths will be much smoother okay now let’s check out the pin tool which is the most useful tool for creating paths with the pin tool if we click some points we can create connected line segments and to finish creating the path we can either click the first Point again to create a closed path or if you want to leave the path open we can either right click or press Center we can see that this is an open path because the stroke doesn’t connect the two end points we can also give the path The Fill color now if we want to close the path all we have to do is Click one end point then click the other one if we start creating another path we can click and drag to create a curve segment we now get these two circular handles at the cursor which are called bezier handles and which let us adjust the curvature of the segment when we release the mouse it locks in the curvature at that segment then we can create more curved segments or we can go back to creating straight line segments while creating a curve segment if we hold down the control key it will snap the rotation angle of the handles to 15° increments and if we hold down shift while creating a curve it gives us control over the positioning of the handle that’s under the cursor this lets us create sharp corners one thing that distinguishes paths from shape objects in inkscape is that all of the segments of a path are connected by little points called nodes to see and access the nodes we have to use the node tool located here under the selector tool with the node tool active we can now see a selected paths nodes which are indicated by these square or diamond shaped handles we can select the node and move it around if we hold down the control key it will constrain the node’s movement to either the horizontal axis or the vertical axis we can also select multiple nodes either by dragging a selection box over them or by holding shift and clicking them the diamond shaped handles denote corner or cusp nodes and the square shaped handles denote curved or smooth nodes if we select the smooth node we can see it’s beer handles and we can use the handles to adjust the curvature there will likely also be times when we want to change a smooth node into a custom node or vice versa for this we have these four buttons up here with the first one if we have a smoo node selected we can turn it into a custom node we can now adjust each BDA handle individually a lot us to create sharp Corners with a custom node selected we can click the next button up here to turn it into a smooth node this forces the handles to rotate together keeping the segments curved the next two buttons are for creating symmetric nodes and auto smooth nodes these two types of nodes are basically just glorified smooth nodes with symmetric nodes not only do the beia handles rotate together but they also maintain the same distance from the node this is useful when we want to curve two segments of a path by the exact same amount and finally with an auto smooth node as we move the node around the handles will adjust automatically in order to keep the curves very smooth we can also add nodes to a path or delete nodes from a path one way to add a node is to First select two or more nodes then click this button in the controls bar which adds a node right at the midpoint between the selected nodes an easier way to add nodes however is to Simply double click a segment using the node tool and to delete selected nodes we can just press the delete key we can break apart a path at a selected node by clicking this button the path is now an open path and if we select two nodes we can click this button to join them together at the midpoint or if the nodes aren’t connected we can click this button to add a line segment between them and we can click this one to delete the segment as I mentioned earlier in the lesson paths are made up of nodes but shape objects are not for example if we create a rectangle and grab the node tool we still just get the re rectangle scale handles and its Corner rounding handles however we can change a shape object into a path to do this we can either click this button in the controls bar for the no tool or we can go to the path menu and choose object to path we now get a custom node at each of the rectangle’s four corners and we can now treat the rectangle like any other path so we can move the nodes around we can change the node types and we can add extra nodes one thing to keep in mind when changing shape objects into paths is that we lose the handles for adjusting certain aspects of the shape for example we no longer have the corner rounding handles fortunately however we can still easily round the corners of a path to do so in the controls bar for the no tool we have this add Corners LP button if we click it we now have these circular handles near each node and we can click and drag them to round the corner at that node we can also select multiple nodes and round them at the same time this function actually add a path effect to the path path effects are very powerful and we’ll learn much more about them later in the course including other things we can do with this particular path effect but for now when we’re finished using a path effect it’s usually a good idea to lock in the path effect adjustments by turning the object back into a normal path we do this the same way that we turn shape objects into paths by going to path object to path the rounding handles are now gone and we get access to all of the paths nodes in the path menu here we have a bunch of operations that we can perform between selected paths and shapes for example if we have two or more paths or shapes selected and we perform the union operation it turns them all into a single path if any of the original objects were overlapping their nodes get combined together next if we have two overlapping objects we can use the difference operation to cut the top one out of the bottom one it also completely removes the top shape with the next operation intersection we can get just the overlapping parts of the selected objects the next operation exclusion is kind of like the opposite of intersection as it’ll remove only the overlapping parts of the objects next up is division division is similar to difference and that it will cut the top object out of the bottom one however it also leaves the overlapping Parts as separate paths the next operation cut path does almost the same thing as division except it only cuts the bottom object stroke into pieces completely removing its fill color we now have two open paths here next is the combine operation like with Union we can use combine to turn multiple objects into a single object however unlike Union even if the objects are overlapping they will become subpaths we can see that they’re subpaths because they have separate strokes and we can use the node tool to move them apart after combined we have break apart break apart is basically the opposite of combin as it will separate the subpaths that are inside an object for example if we take some shapes and combine them together into a single object and later decide we want to separate them again we can use break apart one Nuance with break apart though is that if we have a path with enclosed empty areas like this and we do break apart on it it will fill in the empty areas and we now have multiple paths one big filled in path and a separate path for each of the enclosed areas that were filled in the next operation split path is also for separating sub paths however if the sub paths are overlapping split path has no effect another difference between split path and break apart is that if we do split path on an object with enclosed empty areas it won’t fill in those areas next up we have fracture if we use fracture on some overlapping objects it uses the overlapping parts to cut the objects into fragments the final Boolean path operation we have is flatten if we perform flatten on some overlapping objects it removes all of the overlapped parts this is similar to the difference operation except it can be used on more than two objects at a time and it doesn’t delete the top objects often in our designs we need everything to have a certain layout and proportions especially if we’re working on something like a poster or an ebook this is where guidelines and grids come in first to create guidelines we need the rulers at the top and left of the canvas to be visible if you don’t see yours you can go up to the view menu then down to show hide and check rulers and now to create horizontal guidelines we can drag down from the top ruler to create vertical guidelines we can drag from the ruler on the left and to create diagonal guidelines we can drag from one of the corners being careful not to click directly on any of these buttons now if we turn on snapping and take a look at the advanced mode we by default
have a guidelines option turned on this means that as we create and move around objects we can snap them to various points along the guidelines if we hover the mouse over a guideline the cursor will turn into a hand icon and if we click and hold on the guideline we can reposition it this also repositions the guideline’s origin point which is indicated by this little circle this is one of the points on a guideline that we’re able to snap [Music] to it’s also the point around which we can rotate a guideline to rotate a guideline we hold down the shift key as we hover over it which turns the cursor into rotation arrows and if we click and drag now we can rotate it if you want to move the guideline’s origin Point without moving the entire guideline we can hold down control before clicking and dragging now we can rotate around the new point if we double click on a guideline it brings up the guideline dialogue and here we can give the guideline a label we can change his color we can set the origin point and and the angle and we can lock the guideline if we now click the okay button it applies the new settings we can see the guideline is labeled near its origin point and the origin point is now an X instead of a circle this means the guideline is locked and we can no longer move it around if you want to lock all the guidelines we can come up to the edit menu and check lock all guides if we uncheck the option it will unlock all the guides we can also toggle guideline locking on and off by using this lock icon here between the rulers to remove a guideline we can either drag it back to a ruler or while hovering over it we can press the delete key and to remove all guidelines at once we can go to edit delete all gu sides next to add a grid to our document we can go up to the view menu and check page grid this creates a default one pixel by one pixel rectangular grid across the entire canvas and like with guidelines with snapping turned on we can by default snap to grids if you want to change the settings of the grid we have to to use the document properties dialogue which we can open by going to file document properties and here we choose the grids Tab and now we can do things like create a new rectangular or aetric grid and we can adjust the settings of the current grid if we disable the grid it no longer has any effect in our document as we can’t see it and we also can’t snap to it but if we enable it and turn off its visibility we can’t see it but we can still snap to it at the moment we’re only able to snap to visible grid lines the grid actually consists of both major grid lines and minor grid lines and when we’re zoomed out like this we can only see the major grid lines which are by default located at every five grid units if we toggle off this option here we can also snap to the invisible minor grid lines to actually see the minor grid lines we have to zoom in quite a bit the minor grid lines are more transparent than the major ones over here we can adjust the spacing between the grid lines we can also change the origin of the grid with a default of 0 0 the grid is flush with the top and left sides of the page we can also align it to particular points on the page using these buttons now let’s come up here and check out the axonometric grid option if we click the new button right now it will actually create the Grid on top of the existing grid we now have a tap here for each of the two grids in our document this can get pretty confusing so let’s remove the first grid by selecting its tap here and clicking the remove button at the bottom now we just have an aetric grid with an aetric grid we can create isometric designs and for the settings we can set the origin we can change the spacing and we can adjust the angle on both the xaxis and the z-axis finally if you want to hide all the grids in our current document we can go back to the view menu and uncheck page grid so far in the course we have been using the color palette to change the colors of objects and if we use the arrows here on the right we actually have quite a few colors to choose from we can also use this hamburger icon to choose from lots of different palettes we can configure the color palette as well by clicking configure here with this we can change the size of the color tiles we can change their aspect ratio we can stretch them so that they fill up the entire bar we can change the width of the border between them and we can change the number of rows of tiles in the pallet we also have this enlarged pin colors option which is on by default pin colors appear all the way at the left of the palette and by default we have the remove color button and we have black 50% gray and white if you want to add a different color to the pin colors we just have to rightclick the Swatch and choose pin color and now it has moved over to the pin colors to remove a pin color we right click it and choose unpin color okay so we can obviously do quite a lot with colors just by using the color palette but if we want much more control over colors we need to use the Fillin stroke dialogue to open the fill and stroke dialogue we go to object fill and stroke and here we have a fill tab a stroke paint Tab and a stroke style tab with the fill tab you can adjust the fill color of selected objects by default we’re using the hsl color mode with this mode we can adjust the Hue which is basically another word for the actual color we can adjust the saturation which is the purity of the color the lightness which is how dark or bright the color is and we’re can adjust the alpha which is another word for opacity we also have the option of using a color wheel to adjust the color the bar along the circle is for changing the CU and the small circle inside the triangle is for changing both the saturation and the lightness some other color mode options we have are RGB which stands for red green and blue and cmk which stands for cyan magenta yellow and black and is useful for printing the default fi color type is flat color which means a single fi color across the entire object we can also turn off the fill cutter by clicking the X here and we can apply gradients and patterns to the fill which we’ll take a look at in upcoming lessons the stroke paint tab is basically the same as the fill tab except we can use it to adjust the stroke color with the stroke style tab we can adjust other features of the stroke for example we can change the stroke width with the dashes we can apply various Dash or dot patterns to the stroke we can adjust the offset of the pattern using this box and we can even apply apply our own custom pattern each pair of numbers we put in here is the length of a dash followed by the length of a gap and the pattern then repeats itself along the stroke with markers we can apply different icons like arrows along the nodes of an object stroke we can even adjust things like the size of a marker its orientation and is offset on the stroke and if we click this edit on canvas button we get handles on the canvas for adjusting the markers properties under markers we have join which lets us change the appearance at the corners of an object stroke we can see this better if we turn off the markers and the dashes the default is miter join which givs the stroke sharp Corners we can also choose bevel join and round join with cap we can change the appearance at the end points of the stroke the default is butt cap which squares off the stroke at the node we can round off the stroke using round cap and square cap is like butt cap but it extends a bit beyond the node finally we can change the order in which the fill the stroke and the markers are drawn by default The Fill is drawn first then the stroke on top of it then finally the markers we can change the order using the other buttons but I almost always keep mind on the default as changing it can lead to some unexpected results if we go back to either the field tab or the stroke paint tab we have this eyedropper button here at the very bottom with this we can change an object’s color to any color we choose from the canvas the ey dropper button actually temporarily switches us to The Dropper tool here in the toolbox if we hold down shift and choose a color it will set the selected object stroke color to the new color we can also click and drag over some colors to choose an average of all the colors holding shift as we do this will do the same for the stroke finally at the the bottom of the fill and stroke dialogue we have blend mode a blur slider and an opacity slider blend mode affects how the colors of selected objects blend with any colors underneath it for example we can darken the underlying colors or we can lighten them with the blur slider we can blur the object this by default blurs the object in all directions by the same amount however if we now go to the Noe tool we can see these two circular handles at the top and right side of the object with these we can adjust the horizontal and vertical blurring separately and finally with the opacity slider we can change the object’s opacity unlike with using an alpha slide which only affects the opacity of either the fill or the stroke the opacity slider affects the entire object as we saw in the previous lesson in both the fill Tab and the stroke paint tab of the fill and stroke dialogue we have a number of buttons for changing an object’s fill or stroke type with flat color being the default two other options we have are linear gradient and Radial gradient let’s start with linear gradient if we have an object selected and we click the linear gradient button inside the FI tab the object gets a gradient going from fully opaque on the left side to fully transparent on the right side back over here we now see a gradient line and on the line we have two sliders which are called stops and which represent the colors of the gradient the one on the left is the opaque stop and the one on the right is the transparent stop we can click and drag the stops to move them around and it would change the appearance of the gradient on the object we can also switch between the stops using the list here and we can change the color at the chosen stop and if we want we can bring up the opacity of the transparent stop if we hover over the gradient line the cursor turns into a plus sign and if we double click we can add a new stop we can move it around and we can change the color to remove a stop we can select it and press delete we can also reverse the direction of the gradient by clicking this button here and using the repeat option we can change how the gradient gets repeated along the object however we can’t see the difference between these unless we make it so the gradient line doesn’t cover the entire object and to do so we use the gradient tool here in the toolbox with the gradient tool active we now see the GR line and the stops on the object itself and we can do the same things we can do in the fill and stroke dialogue like move the stops around and change their colors however using the gradient tool we can also now rotate the gradient line and we can make it so the line is completely inside the object and with this we can now see how changing the repeat option will affect the appearance of the gradient we actually also have both the repeat option and the reverse option in the controls bar for the gradient tool now let’s learn about radial gradients to apply a radial gradient to a selected object we can either click the radial gradient button in the Fillin stroke dialogue or with the gradient tool active we can come up here next to New and choose the create radial gradient option then double click the object radial gradients by default start at the center of the object and have both a horizontal gradient line and a vertical one and the lines are kind of like mirrored versions of each other this means they always have the same number of stops and if we change the color of a stop on one line the color of the corresponding stop on the other line will change as well this also goes for moving the mid stops around if we click and drag one of the ending stops we can adjust the length of the line and we can rotate the entire gradient if you want to adjust the length of both lines together we can hold down control and shift using the center stop we can move around the gradient as a whole we can also change the color at the stop another thing we can do is if we hold down shift before clicking and dragging the center stop we can change What’s called the focus of the gradient the focus is now indicated by this x here if you want to put the focus back at the center we just have to drag it to the center stop into snaps into place all right and as I mentioned before we can also apply gradients to an object stroke we can do this either by using the buttons in the stroke paint tab of the fill and stroke dialogue or again we can come up to the controls bar and next to New we have a stroke gradient option and we can choose either radial gradient or linear gradient then double click the object the object now has another gradient line which we can use to edit the stroke gradient next to the gradient options in the fill and stroke dialogue we have a pattern button if we click the one in the fill tab it will apply a pattern to a selected object’s fill to change the pattern we can use this drop- down here to choose a particular category of patterns or we can just choose all patterns to view them all and now we can pick from all of the available patterns below the list of patterns we have a lot of settings for changing the appearance of the current pattern for example we can change the scale with orientation we can change the angle of the pattern we can also use the slider here to change it by 15° increments the offset setting lets us change the positioning of the pattern on the object and with The Gap settings we can add gaps between the repetitions of the pattern for most of the patterns we can also change the color by clicking the color swatch here and adjusting the sliders finally if we click the edit on canvas button here we get some new handles inside the object which we can use to adjust the pattern with the top left hand we can change the offset with the bottom right one we can change the scale holding down control will change the scale proportionately on both axes and with the circular handle at the top right we can rotate the pattern holding down control will snap the angle to 15° increments we can also actually see what objects were used to create a particular pattern to do this we give an object whichever pattern we want to check out then we go to object pattern pattern to objects this turns the selected object into the pattern objects and it might move it to a weird location for some reason we can now see that this simple path was used to create the pattern also although the path appears to be black if we take a look in the fill and stroke dialogue it says paint is undefined and this question mark button is turned on this button unsets an object’s color we can also see here in the status bar that the path’s fill color is unset this is important to know because if we want to create our own patterns and be able to change the patterns color later through the fill and stroke dialogue we’ll need to First unset the colors of any objects that we use to create the pattern let’s go ahead and see how we can do so first we can create one or more objects that we’ll use for the pattern if if we want the pattern to always be a particular color or colors we can apply some colors to the objects however if we would like to be able to change the color of the pattern later we’ll need to select the objects and click the question mark button here in the filling stroke dialogue and we can also lower the opacity if we want this will still work just fine now to turn the selected objects into a pattern we go back to object pattern but this time we choose objects to pattern this turns the objects into into a pattern then it creates a rectangle and applies the pattern to it as we can now see in the fill and stroke dialogue we should now be able to edit the pattern settings but if it doesn’t work we can first apply a random pattern to the object then choose our custom pattern again from up here and now the settings should work and because we unset the colors of the pattern objects we can change the color here we can also create a new object and if we click the pattern fill button it should automatically apply our new pattern to it using Strokes isn’t always ideal when creating Vector designs particularly when working with Boolean path operations for example I have a circle with a stroke here and let’s say I want to use this rectangle to cut out just the part of the circle stroke that is overlapping if I select them both and go to path difference it doesn’t give me the result I’m looking for this is because a stroke is basically just a style for an object and not part of the actual object but path operations work on the objects themselves and if I go to the node tool I can modify the nodes of the underlying shape but I can’t change anything about the stroke if I wanted to modify the stroke I would first need to turn it into a path to do this I can either click this button in the controls bar for the no tool or I can go to path stroke to path we can now see in the status bar that the object has just a fill and no stroke and I have access to all of the nodes surrounding what used to be the stroke I can also now cut things out of it one more thing to note is that if we do stroke to path on an object that has both a fill and a stroke it gives us a group of two paths if we ungroup it we have a path consisting of just the fill and a path for what used to be the stroke if we want to add some text to our design we use the text tool here in the toolbox to create text all we have to do is click in the canvas and start typing to change the font we can come up here to the controls bar and choose from all the font families installed on our computer or if we already know which font family we want we can just start typing it here and it should pop up we can also change the font style as well as the size we can actually also change the font attributes of just certain parts of the text by selecting them first and this whole piece of text is actually an object so if we go to the selector tool we can resize it using the scale handle however if we want to stop the text from getting distorted we have to hold down the control key we can also rotate it and skew it and of course we can change the fill color of the text and we can even add a stroke to it if we go back to the text tool we can still edit the text like normal back up in the controls bar we can adjust the spacing between the Bas lines of the text with this drop down you can change the text alignment if we select one or more characters we can use this button to make them superscript or this one to make them subscript if we click the spacing button here it brings up some different options for changing the spacing of the text and these actually work differently depending on whether or not we have any text selected for example with the first box we can either adjust the spacing between only the selected characters or with nothing selected we can adjust the spacing between all the characters using this box we can adjust the spacing between entire words we can also select parts of some words and only adjust the spacing between those words with these two boxes here we can adjust the King which refers to the spacing between individual pairs of characters if we have nothing selected and we change for example the horizontal King it moves all the characters that are to the right of the cursor the vertical curing box works in a similar way finally with this box we can rotate the selected characters by a specified number of degrees or with nothing selected it would just rotate the character that’s to the right of the cursor next we can use these three dropdowns to change the direction of the text in different ways back over at the left of the controls bar we have a font collections button font collections let us group certain font families together document fonts and recently used fonts are the default collections provided to us by inkscape if we check the box next to one the font family drop down will now only show the fonts in that collection to go back to showing all the available fonts we can click this reset button to edit an existing font collection or create a new one we need to click this button to open up the collections editor and here we can see all the available font families and all the font collections including the fonts inside them to create a new collection we click the plus button down here type in a name and press enter we can then simply drag and drop fonts into the collection now we can use our new font collection here we also have a text and font dialogue that we can work with to open it we can go to text text and font in the font tab of the text and font dialogue we can change a text objects font attributes like we can in the controls bar for the text tool but with the added benefit of seeing a preview of how the changes will look also in order to actually apply the changes to the selected text object we have to click the apply button here we’re also able to set the chosen attributes as the defaults that will be used whenever we create new text objects in the features tab we have some advanced settings we can work with like checking out the different lature types in the font and using different types of capitalization finally using the text tab we can edit the actual text and this also provides us with a spell checker because a text object is not a path if we go to the node tool we don’t have access to the nodes of the text however just like with shapes we can turn a text object into a path by going to path object to path this combines all the characters into one big path now we can modify the nodes one thing to be aware of though is that because this is no longer a text object we can’t use the text tool to change the text or the font attributes after turning the text into a path if we want to separate the letters we can use either the break apart or the split path operation as we learned earlier in the course if we use break apart it will separate the subpaths but it will also fill in any enclosed empty areas if that’s not what we want we can instead use split path and we can now apply different colors to the individual characters however break apart and split path only separate letters that aren’t touching if we have a text object that uses a script font and we turn it into a path then use either break apart or split path it doesn’t separate any of the overlapping characters to fix this if we undo until it’s a text object again we can first go up to the text menu and choose text to glyphs this converts all the characters into separate text objects and now if we want we can turn them all into pads one more thing to know about changing text objects into paths is that if the text object has multiple lines using object to path turns each line into a single path then groups all the paths together if we ungroup it we now have access to each of the paths if we have a text object and a path we can make it so the text follows along the curvature of the path to do this we select both objects then go to the text menu and choose put on path and the text object is now connected to the path so if we move the path the text object moves with it and if we modify the path using the node tool the text will adjust in order to continue following along the curvature we can also still modify the text using the text tool if you want to remove the text object from the path and make it go back to being a normal text object with the object selected we can go to text remove from path however if we undo all of that and instead we want to keep the text like it is but be able to remove the path we have to turn the text object into a path first this means we can’t modify the text using the text tool anymore but now we can delete the path the put on path function works with shapes as well for example I can select a text object and a circle and use put on path to wrap the text around the circle at the moment however however it’s hard to get the text perfectly centered on the circle to fix this I can remove the text from the circle and before putting it back on the circle I’ll set the text alignment to centered if I now wrap the text around the circle I can get it perfectly centered at the top by rotating the circle while holding down the ALT key to snap the angle it’s also possible to wrap the text along the bottom of the circle to do this I just have to flip the circle vertically however this also puts the text inside the circle squeezing the letters together so I’ll likely need to make some spacing adjustments and again I can turn the text object into a path then get rid of the circle if we have a text object selected and we have the text tool active we can see this diamond shaped handle at the bottom right of the text if we click and drag this it will create a box around the text and will force the text to stay within the bounds of the Box this is called flow text another way to create flow text is you click and drag in the canvas when creating a text object if we deselect the text object and select it again we again have the diamond handle at the bottom right for adjusting the size of the Box however we now also have a square handle at the top right with this we can add some padding between the text and the Box the Box around float text is called a frame and we can actually use custom shapes for the frame to do this we first need a text object and a shape and the text object by the way has to be a normal text object not a float one now we can select both objects and go to text float into frame and like with put on path the text is connected to the frame so moving the frame will also move the text and changing the shape of the frame will cause the text to readjust automatically if we want to turn floats text back into a normal text object we can select it and go to text UNF flow or like with put on path we can undo that and instead turn the text object into a path which will keep it the way it is and allow us to delete the frame if we have some flow text and a separate shape we can select both the text object and the shape and go to text set subtraction frames this will cause the text to flow around the shape as we can see if we move the shape onto the text and we can even do this with multiple shapes at a time however we first have to select the text object and all of the shapes that we want to use then do set subtraction frames one way to import an image into our doc is to go to the file menu and choose import we can also copy and paste images into the document and we can even drag and drop them into the document regardless of how we import an image we get a dialogue where we can choose how we want to add the image to our document the two import types we can choose from are embed and Link with embed the image will be embedded into the document this means that if we later delete the image file from our computer or changes location it won’t affect the document it also means that if we save the document and send it to someone else the image will also be included in the document file a disadvantage of this however is that if we use a lot of large images the document file size can get pretty big with the link option on the other hand the image in the document will be linked to the image file on our computer and inkscape will load up the image file whenever we open the document this means that we can add a lot of images to our document without increasing the file size too much but we have to be careful not to delete or move the image files or else inkscape won’t be able to find them for the most part I tend to stick with the embed option all right and after we import an image into our document we will sometimes want to trace a part of it so that will’ll have a vectorized version that we can use in our designs to do this we can first lower the opacity of the image then we can grab the pin tool and start tracing and we could just manually create bzier curves like this but with a complicated image this can get pretty tedious so instead if we look up here in the controls bar we have several modes that we can choose from the default is the be mode which we’ve been using so far and which lets us create curves by clicking and dragging but we also have B spline mode here with this one we just have to click points and it will automatically create curves for us it’s not quite as accurate as beer mode but in most cases I find it works well enough when we’re done with the tracing let’s make sure to go back to beer mode and now we can raise up the opacity of the path and make it whatever color we want we can also delete the image if we no longer need it if we only want a particular part of an image to be visible we can use clipping and masking to do so we first draw a path or a shape over the part of the image that we want to keep then select both objects and for clipping we can either go to the object menu then down to clip and choose set clip or we can right click the selection and choose set clip and this is treated as a single object so we can transform it like a normal object to release the clip we can either select the clipped object and go to object clip release clip or we can just right click it and choose release clip masking is very similar to clipping except it takes the color of the Mask into account a black mask will make the result fully transparent a white mask will make it fully opaque a 50% mask will make it 50% opaque and so on for example if I wanted to use the shape to clip the image again but I also wanted to make the image go from transparent on the left to opaque on the right I could first make the shape black then give it a linear gradient and make the stop on the right fully opaque and white now I can select both objects and I can either go to object mask set mask or right click the selection and choose set mask and to release the mask we could again either use the object menu or right click and choose release mask clipping and masking work on other types of objects as well for example I can use the same shape to clip or mask another shape one menu we have in inkscape is the filters menu filters allow us to add various effects to any object and they tend to work particularly well with images for example in the bevel’s category we can make the object look like a button or we can add some diffused lighting to it I useful filter in the blurs category is feather which lets us blur just the edges of an object the color category lets us affect an objects colors in different ways such as by using Color rise to completely change the colors or using lightness contrast to affect how bright or contrasting the colors are with the image effects filters we can apply a film grain to an object and if we have an image that is kind of blurry we can use sharpen or sharpen more to bring out the details a bit in the morphology category we can add an outline to an object with many options for changing the appearance of the outline with overlays we can add effects on top of an object for example we can add clouds or Frost and we can use noise fill to add a noise overlay to an object giving it a grainy appearance under shadows and glows the filter I use more than any other is drop shadow with this we can add a drop shadow either to the outside of an object or
to the inside we can also apply multiple filters to an object for example we might want to give it an outline and also give it a drop shadow and if we want to remove all of an objects filters at once we can go to filters remove filters here at the bottom one of the tools we have available to us is a shape Builder tool here this tool as its name implies allows us to build shapes and to use it we first need to have some shapes or paths selected if we Now activate the shape Builder tool it hides everything on the canvas that isn’t selected and it turns all of the selected objects gray and puts an outline around each one if we move our cursor over the objects whichever segment we hover over turns a light shade of blue and if we click the segment it turns a darker shade of blue this means that the segment will be included in the shapes that we’re building we can also click and drag over segments and they will be combined into a single segment with the outlines between them disappearing if we take a look in the controls bar we have two modes to choose from add mode and delete mode add mode is the default which let us add segments and with delete mode we can delete segments however we don’t actually have to enable delete mode from here instead with ADD Mode still enabled we can hold down the shift key to temporarily switch to delete mode we can tell that we’re on delete mode because the cursor has a minus sign next to it whereas with ADD mode it has a plus sign next to it and with delete mode active the segments we hover over turn pink and if we click one it disappears also similar to add mode we can click and drag over segments to delete them all at once however we don’t actually need to delete segments because any segments that aren’t blue when we apply the results will automatically get deleted and to apply the result we can either click the check mark button here here next to finished or we can press the enter key and now we have all of the different shapes that we built now if we undo all of that until we have the original objects back and we select them all activate the shape Builder tool and start building we can undo a previous action by pressing contrl Z also if you want to cancel the building all together we can either click the x button up here or we can press Escape in the lesson for the welcome dialogue we briefly solve that one category of templates that we have is shape Builder we can use these templates along with the shape Builder tool to build a variety of shapes and instead of closing out of inkscape and opening it back up to get to the welcome dialogue we can actually access all the templates by going to the file menu and choosing new from template now we can go to the shape Builder tab choose a template and click create from template and it will start up a new document using the selected template now we can select everything grab the shape Builder tool and get to work one very useful feature of inkscape is path effects which are special effects that we can apply to paths and shapes and which can speed up our designs quite a bit to use path effects we need to open up the path effects dialogue which which we can do by going to the path menu and choosing path effects and now with a path or shape selected if we click this Arrow here we can see all the available path effects there are quite a lot of them so in this lesson we’ll just go over some of the ones that I find to be the most useful first we have corners this is actually the path effect that gets applied to an object when we go to the node tool and use the add Corners LP button here if we click it we can see in the path effects dialogue that the object now has the cornner path effect applied to it as we’ve seen before with the cornner path effect we have circular handles near each of the objects nodes which we can use to adjust the rounding at the corner near that node but with the path effects dialogue open we also have some other settings that we can play around with for example using this radius box we can adjust the rounding radius of all the corners at the same time or if we select some nodes and check this change only selected nodes option we can adjust the rounding at just the selected Corners also instead of holding control and clicking a handle to cycle between the different Corner types we have these buttons for changing the corner types for example we have fillet which is the default we have inverse fillet which inverts the rounding we have chamfer which squares off the corners and we can use this chamfer step setting to change the appearance of it and finally we have inverse chamfer which is the opposite of chamfer and which is also affected by the step setting if we apply the offset path effect to a shape or path and we go to the no tool we get this orange circular handle that we can use to either outset or inset the object we can also change the join type which affects the appearance at the corners miter is the default and it keeps the corner sharp we can also Square Off the corners using bevel and we can use rounded to round the corners offset is particularly useful for creating a border around one or more objects for example I’ll first duplicate these two objects then I’ll Union the duplicates together make it a different color and send it below the original two objects now I’ll apply offset to it and use the node tool to outset it creating a border for the objects the power stroke path effect is useful for paths that only have a stroke if I apply it to this path the ends of the path by default become tapered and if I go to the node tool I now have these pink diamond handles at different points along the path these are called control points and I can move them around and use them to adjust the width of the path near that point if I hold control and click a control point it adds a new one holding control and alts and clicking one deletes it using the width multiplier setting I can adjust the width of the entire path changing the smoothing type will affect the appearance of the path in different ways using the two cap settings I can change the appearance at each end point of the path if we apply the bin path effect to a shape or path and we click this edit on canvas button we get a green horizontal line going across the center of the object if we click and drag the line we can bend the object we can also move around the nodes at the two ends of the line and use the be handles to adjust the curvature and if we double click the line we can add a new node to it it we can adjust the width of the object using this handle here which we can also do from the pth effects dialogue pattern along path lets us stretch or repeat a shape or path along another path to use it we first need to copy the object that we want to use as the pattern next we select the path we want to put the pattern on and add pattern along path to it and in here we need to click one of these two buttons the main difference is that link to path and clipboard will allow us to modify the original pattern object and have it also affect the pattern whereas with paste path modifying the original object won’t affect the pattern so let’s go with link to path and clipboard the default pattern type is single stretched which takes a single copy of the pattern object and stretches it along the path if we can change the color of want another pattern type is single which just puts a single copy of the object at the start of the path and we also have repeated and repeated stretched repeated will repeat the object along the path as many times as possible and repeated stretched will stretch the copies so that they fill up the entire path some other things we can change are the width of the copies the spacing between them and their offsets on the path the perspective envelope path operation allows us to either change the perspective of an object or deform its shape the default type is perspective and if we now go to the node tool we have these four nodes at the corners of the object’s bounding box and we can use use them to change the object’s perspective we can make it so the movements get mirrored horizontally and or vertically if we change the type to envelope deformation instead of changing the object’s perspective the nodes now let us deform its shape and again we can mirror the movements in order to use interpretate subpaths we first need to have an object that consists of multiple subpaths to do this we can select two or more objects and go to path combine if we now add interpolate subpaths to it it interpolates between the subpaths by default giving us a total of five subpaths that have an equal amount of spacing between them we can change the number of sub paths using the step setting also if we use the node tool to modify one of the original subpaths all the interpolated subpaths will get modified accordingly if we click this edit on canvas button here it gives us a green horizontal line across the object this is the line along which the interpolated paths are created we can click and drag the line to bend it we can also move the nodes at the ends of the line and we can even add new nodes to it if we add the mirror symmetry path effect to a path or shape it will mirror the object along a mirror line and we can use the node tool to change the position and angle of the mirror line using these nodes also if we change the shape of the original object the mirrored version will change accordingly changing the colors will also by default affect the mirrored version however if we check split elements here change ching The Originals colors won’t affect the mirrored version and we can now also select the mirrored version and change its colors separately if we add the splice path effect to a shape or path it will slice the object along a slice line which by default goes vertically along the center of the object and like with mirror symmetry we can use the node tool to reposition and rotate the line and what’s cool is we can also use Slice on a group of objects with a tiling path effect we can repeat a path or shape in a ton of different ways we can change the way that the tiles are mirrored we can change the number of rows and columns we can adjust the gaps between the tiles we can offset alternating rows or columns by certain percentage we can change the scale of the tiles in different ways and we can rotate the tiles in different ways also if we split the elements we’re able to select the individual tiles and give them different colors we can actually also add multiple path effects to a single shape or path for example I might add the bend path effect to this object and bend it then decide I also want to add the offset path effect to it when an object has multiple path effects attached to it we can click and drag on these little dots here to change the order of the path effects which can change the appearance of the final result we can also use this ey icon to toggle a path effect on or off and we can use the trash icon to remove it one more thing to know about path effects is that it’s pretty easy to accidentally change their settings especially if we start making Transformations on an object that has them or we start grouping them together with other objects because of this when we’re finished adjusting an object’s path effect settings we’ll often want to finalize the settings to do this we just have to do object to path on the object any path effects that the object had disappear from the path effects dialogue but the results remain on the object the object is also now a normal path so we get access to all of its nodes because path effects only work on paths and shapes if we try to add one to a text object it doesn’t let us in order to use path effects on a text object one thing we can do is first turn the text object into a path we can of course do this by going to path object to path like normal but if we have the path text dialogue open we also conveniently have a convert text to paths button if we click it the text object becomes a path and now we can add path effects to it of course once we turn a text object into a path we can no longer change its text or its font attributes but we have a way around this which is to First create a clone of the text object then apply path effects to the Clone and if we select the normal text object we again conveniently have a clone button in the path effects dialogue if we click it it creates a clone of the object directly on top of it and we can now add path effects to the Clone but what’s cool about this is that if we change the text or font attributes of the original text object the Clone will change as well however there’s a bug that causes the final character to not show up in the Clone to fix this all we have to do is add some extra character like a space to the very end of the text object which fixes the Clone and now we can remove the extra character now if we select the Clone again you can see in the pets dialogue that the Clone also has the Clone original path effect attached to it this was added automatically by inkscape Under the Clone original settings we can actually change what aspects of the original object that the Clone copies by default the Clone copies the original object shape along with it lpes which are its path effects and it also copies some of its attributes including its style its clip path and its mask now because the Clone copies the style if we change the original object’s colors the clone’s colors will change as well however if we remove the word style in here along with the comma after it and press enter now changing the original object’s colors doesn’t affect the Clone and we can freely change the clone’s colors we can also create multiple clones of a text object to do this we can either clone the text object itself again or we can simply duplicate the Clone this also duplicates the path effects I can now change the color of this clone move it below the other one add the offset path effect and outset it creating a border for the other clone and modifying the original text object will modify both clones and again we might have to add and remove an extra character in order to update the Clones another very useful feature of inkscape is extensions which are located in the extensions menu and like with path effects we have a lot of them so we’ll only cover some of the most useful ones first up in the color category we have randomize if we check live preview down here we can use this extension to randomize the colors of selected shapes or paths in different ways for example we can randomize the hue the saturation the lightness and the opacity to cancel the extension results we can click the close button or we can click the apply button to permanently apply the results the generate from path category has quite a few useful extensions and the first one we’ll look at is distribute along path this extension Works similarly to the pattern along path path effect except instead of copying the pattern object into the clipboard we need the pattern object to have a higher Z order than the path that we’ll Place copies onto and we need to have both objects selected for check live preview the default behavior is to place multiple copies of the pattern object along the patter path with no space between them we can also see by looking at the gradient that each copy rotates in order to follow the orientation of the path to stop this from happening we can uncheck follow path orientation here now the copies maintain the same rotation as the original pattern object if we check the next option it will add just enough space between the copies to fill up the entire path or we can instead use the space between copy setting to manually adjust the spacing this also works with negative numbers with the normal offset setting we can adjust the vertical offset of the copies on the path and with tangential offset we can slide the copies back and forth along the path with the extrude between two paths extension we can connect the nodes between two selected shapes or paths using either l or polygons if we apply the extension the polygons or lines are placed inside a group we can change the colors of the group as a whole or we can ungroup it and work on the individual objects the next extension we’ll look at interpolate between paths requires that we have two or more path selected so if we want to use it on shapes we have to turn them into paths first now if we open up the interpolate between paths dialogue and check live preview it interpolates between the paths by creating new paths between them we can use the interpolation step setting to tell it how many paths you create between each pair of selected paths we can change the method it uses to interpolate between the paths and we can tell it whether or not to interpolate between the Styles or colors of the paths with the long Shadow extension we can easily apply a long Shadow effect to a selected path or shape we can adjust the length of the Shadow as well as the angle and if the object has a stroke we can use the stroke color as the color for the Shadow we can also use this on text but we have to turn the text into a path first also to easily get back to the previous extension we can either choose previous extension settings to bring up the dialogue again or we can choose previous extension to apply the same extension using the previous settings and by the way applying the long Shadow extension gives us a group of two objects if we ungroup it we now have both the original object and a group of Shadow objects the pattern along path extension does basically the same thing as the pattern along path path effect except with the extension we can use a group of objects as the pattern object and like with the distribute along path extension the pattern object needs to have a higher Z order and we need to have both objects selected like with the path effect we can choose how to place the pattern object onto the path we also have a deformation type setting snake makes the copies rotate along with the path Direction whereas ribbon keeps the copies upright creating more of a ribbon appearance we can also adjust the spacing between the copies as well as the offsets a useful extension in the text category is lauram ipsum which lets us easily create placeholder text if we have nothing selected it flows the text inside the page borders we can adjust the number of paragraphs as well as the number of sentences in each paragraph with the fluctuation setting here we can randomly add or subtract up to a specified number of sentences from each paragraph so that they don’t all have the exact same number of sentences if we apply the extension we can see that it creates a text object and we can change this font attributes also if we run the extension with a shape or path selected it will use the object as a frame for the text we touched briefly on clipping and masking earlier in the course but there are actually a few more cool things we can do with them for example if we go into the object menu for both clipping and masking we have inverse options with inverse clipping we can cut the top object out of the bottom one this is similar to using the difference path operation except like with normal clipping we can always release the clip to get the original objects back with inverse masking the color of the top object affects the transparency of the part of the bottom object that it covers like with normal masking the closer to Black the higher the transparency another difference with inverse clipping and masking is that they actually both use path effects this means we’re not able to use them on images like we can with normal clipping and masking if we open up the path effects dialogue we can see that inverse masking uses the power mask path effect and in here we can invert the mask we can hide the mask and we can remove the background another feature we have is clip groups to create a clip group we right click an object and choose set clip group what this does is it Clips the object with itself then puts it inside a group and what this means is that if we enter into the group any objects that we create will also be clipped and if we resize the original object it will also resize the clip if we would like to vectorize a RoR or bit map image and use it in our designs we can use the trace bitmap dialogue to open it we can either go to path trace bitmap or we can write click the image and choose trace bitmap and here we have three tabs single scan and multicolor for vectorizing normal images and pixel art for vectorizing pixel art images the main difference between single scan and multicolor is that single scan will give us a single path and multicolor will give us a group of multiple paths we can also see in the preview box here that the multicolor result will be much more detailed than the single scan result and for each tab we have a variety of detection modes to choose from which will give us different results for single scan the parts that are black in the preview will be included in the results and the white parts will be removed we can invert this by checking invert image here we can also use the thresold setting to increase or decrease the amount of detail in the result and when we like what we see in the preview we can apply the result by clicking the apply button here this creates A New Path on on top of the image and like with all paths we can do things like change its color and perform path operations on it as I mentioned before the multicolor tab will give us a group of paths and the number of paths it gives us is determined by the scan setting a default of eight gives us eight paths and we can change this to add or remove detail from the result result applying the result also takes a bit longer than single scan because it has to scan the image multiple times we now have a group of pads and we can enter into the group to edit the individual paths we previously went over linear gradients and Radial gradients but we actually have another type of gradient that we can use called mesh gradients and we can apply one to a selected object by clicking the mesh gradient button in the filling stroke dialogue mesh gradients go from White at the top left and bottom right Corners to the original color at the bottom left and top right Corners if we grab the mesh tool over here we can select one or more Corner nodes and change the colors we can also move the nodes around as well as use these handles to adjust the curvature of the mesh to add more notes to the mesh we can double click a vertical segment to add rows or a horizontal segment to add columns we we actually have another type of mesh gradient called a conical gradient to access it we have to create another object then go back to the mesh tool choose the conical gradient button in the controls bar and doubleclick the object like with radial gradients conical gradients start from the center and move out and we can double click segments to add rows and columns with the paint bucket tool located here in the toolbox we can fill in what are called bounded areas a bounded area is an area that is completely surrounded by pixels that are different from itself for example the red rectangle here is completely surrounded by the white pixels of the page and if I click the rectangle with the paint bucket tool it creates A New Path on top of the rectangle and fills it in with the color of the paint bucket tool that’s not particularly useful but if we have overlapping objects all the overlapping parts that have the same color as the pixel I click will get filled in we can also use it to fill in empty areas that are completely surrounded by objects and we can easily change change the color of the New Path either using the color palette or the fill and stroke dialogue this also changes the color of the paint bucket tool so any New Paths we create with it we’ll use the new color and because this works on pixels and because inkscape uses anti-aliasing to smooth out the pixels on the edges of objects in the display if we zoom in a bit we can see that the tool doesn’t perfectly fill in the areas and actually being zoomed in will give us a better result as it gives the tool more pixels to work with we also have this grow shrink by setting if we use a positive value for this it will expand the path and if we use a negative value it will shrink the path the threshold setting determines how closely the neighboring pixels must match the first pixel for example with these two overlapping objects that are different shades of red if we use a load threshold and click one of the bounded areas it will only fill in that particular area but if we increase the threshold we’re able to make it fill in both areas we can also use the fill by setting here to tell the paint bucket tool to only consider a particular color channel of the pixels for example with Alpha as long as all the overlapping objects have the same alpha or transparency value they will all get filled in with the tweak tool here we’re able to sculpt and Scatter selected shapes and paths in various ways for example with the default move mode if we click and drag over the objects they will move in the same direction as the cursor we can also use the width setting to control how large of an area to affect and we can use the for setting to control how much force to apply to the objects with the next mode clicking and dragging will move the objects toward the cursor and with most of the modes we have the option of using the shift key to perform the opposite action for example with this mode holding down shift as we click and drag will push the objects away from the cursor we can use the next mode to scatter the objects in random directions with the next one we can either make the object shrink or hold down shift to make them grow next we can either rotate the objects clockwise or hold shift to rotate them counterclockwise the next mode will duplicate the objects holding down shift with a duplicate mode mode will delete the objects with the next mode we can push parts of the objects in different [Music] directions we can use the next one to either shrink parts of the objects or hold shift to enlarge them the next mode will either pull parts of the objects toward the cursor or push them if we hold shift next we can roughen up the edges of the objects with the next mode we can make the colors of the objects get closer and closer to the color of the tool using the next mode we can apply random colors to the objects finally we can use this mode to either increase the blur of the objects or hold shift to decrease it using the spray tool here we can either spray duplicates or clones of selected objects or spray them as a single path the width setting allows us to change the size of the spray area and the amount setting let’s just change how many copies to spray rotation which goes from 0 to 100% lets us apply a random rotation to the copies similarly scale lets us apply random scaling to the copies with a high scatter setting the copies are scattered all around the spray area with a low scatter and a low Focus Focus the copies will stay near the center and with a high focus they will stay near the border when both of the eye buttons here are turned on we’re able to spray over both transparent areas and non-transparent areas if we turn on just the Open Eye button we’re only able to spray over non-transparent areas and if we turn on just the closed die button we can only spray over transparent areas we can use this button to prevent copies of the same color from [Music] overlapping and we can use this one to prevent all copies from overlapping turning on this button gives us some options for affecting the colors of the copies for example with this one we can apply the background color to the fill color of the copies and with this one we can apply it to the stroke color of the copies we can also invert the color using this button if we activate the Eraser tool here we can either delete objects that we click and drag over or using the cut mode we can cut through parts of the objects we can use the width setting to adjust the width of the tool if we use a positive value for thinning dragging fast will make the width smaller using a negative value will have the opposite effect with caps we we can round the ends of the tool trimmer will roughen up the edges of the tool and with a high mass the tool will lag behind the cursor allowing us to get a smoother result because cut mode actually cuts through the objects we can only use it on shape and paths we can’t use it on images but if we turn on clip mode here instead of actually cutting through the objects it uses clipping so now we can use it on images it can sometimes be useful to work with multiple pages in our document especially if we want to create something like a PDF file to create and manage multiple Pages we use the pages tool located here in the toolbox if we activate the pages tool we can create another page with the exact same dimensions as our current one by simply coming up to the controls bar and clicking the new page button we can also choose a specified format for the selected page or just resize it manually using the handles at the corners we can use the circular handles to adjust the margins for the page we can do this from the controls bar as well and we can also snap objects to the page margins if we click and drag a page using the pages tool we can reposition it on the canvas and if we have this option up here turned on moving a page will also move any objects that are touching the page turning off the option will keep the objects where they are if we would like to save our document we can go to file save or save as this will save the document as an inkscape SVG and we’ll include all the information we need to continue working on our document and inkscape at a later time we can also use the SVG file on something like a website for the most part however in order to use our designs outside of inkscape we’ll need to export them to a different format like a PNG or jpg image file to do this we use the export dialogue which we can open by going to file export in the export dialogue we have the options of exporting everything inside the page everything inside the document everything inside the current selection or we can define a custom area to export down here we have a checkbox that says export selected only when this is unchecked everything inside the selection box will be exported even objects that aren’t actually currently selected if we check the box only the actual selected objects will be exported we also have the option of adding a background color to the export to export we can click the folder icon here give it a name and choose the ort location choose the format to export to and click save you should now know enough about inkscape to put it to use in your own designs but if you would like to go even deeper as well as get plenty of practice with inkscape’s tools and features I have a number of full inkscape courses on my website I’ll leave a link to them in the description box below also be sure to check out the other videos on my channel which are dedicated to helping you master inkscape thanks for watching

Quiz Answer Key
JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It was primarily designed for creating network-centric applications and enhancing web pages with dynamic and interactive elements.
Client-side JavaScript is JavaScript code that is executed by the user’s web browser, rather than on a web server. One advantage is less server interaction, as user input can be validated in the browser before being sent to the server.
Two limitations of client-side JavaScript are its inability to read or write files (for security reasons) and its lack of built-in support for networking applications or multithreading/multiprocessing.
The standard HTML tags for embedding JavaScript are <script> and </script>. The recommended attribute to specify the scripting language is type with the value “text/javascript”. The language attribute is considered phased out in recent HTML versions.
The var keyword is used to declare variables in JavaScript, essentially creating a named container in memory. Declaration is simply stating the variable name (e.g., var myVariable;), while initialization is assigning an initial value to the variable (e.g., var myVariable = 10;).
The two primary scopes are global scope (variables defined anywhere in the code) and local scope (variables defined within a function). Within a function, a local variable with the same name as a global variable takes precedence, effectively hiding the global variable.
Examples of arithmetic operators include + (addition), – (subtraction), and * (multiplication). The addition operator adds two operands, the subtraction operator subtracts the second operand from the first, and the multiplication operator multiplies both operands.
Comparison operators in JavaScript are used to compare the values of two operands and return a Boolean value (true or false) based on the comparison. For example, (x > y) where x is 5 and y is 10 would evaluate to false.
The logical AND (&&) operator evaluates to true only if both of its operands (the expressions on either side of the operator) evaluate to true. If either operand is false, the entire expression will be false.
JavaScript events are actions or occurrences that happen in the browser, such as a user clicking a button or a page finishing loading. A common HTML event is onclick, which can be used to execute a JavaScript function when a user clicks on an HTML element.

JavaScript Tutorial Briefing Document
Date: October 26, 2023 Source: Excerpts from “javascript_tutorial.pdf” (Tutorials Point, Copyright 2015)
Overview:
This document provides a briefing on the fundamental concepts of JavaScript as presented in the initial sections of the “javascript_tutorial.pdf”. The tutorial is designed for beginners with prior knowledge of HTML and some exposure to object-oriented programming and online application creation. It covers the basics of the language, including its nature, syntax, how to enable it in browsers, placement within HTML, fundamental data types, variables, operators, control flow statements (if-else, switch-case, loops), functions, events, cookies, page redirection, dialog boxes, the void keyword, and page printing. The document also introduces JavaScript objects and their basic properties and methods, including built-in objects like Number, Boolean, String, Array, Date, Math, and RegExp, as well as the Document Object Model (DOM). Finally, it touches upon advanced topics like errors and exceptions, form validation, animation, multimedia, debugging, image maps, and browser-specific information.
Part 1: JavaScript Basics
This section lays the groundwork for understanding JavaScript.
What is JavaScript? JavaScript is described as a “lightweight, interpreted programming language” primarily used for creating “network-centric applications” and adding interactivity to web pages. It is highlighted as “complimentary to and integrated with Java” and “HTML“, as well as being “open and cross-platform.” Its history is briefly mentioned, noting its initial name as LiveScript and its introduction in Netscape 2.0 in 1995. The importance of the ECMA-262 Specification for standardizing the core language is also noted.
Client-Side JavaScript: The tutorial emphasizes that client-side JavaScript, embedded in or referenced by HTML documents, is the most common form. It allows web pages to be dynamic, interact with users, control browsers, and dynamically create HTML content. Advantages over server-side scripts include “less server interaction“, “immediate feedback to the visitors“, “increased interactivity“, and “richer interfaces.” Limitations include the inability to read or write files (for security), lack of networking application support, and no multithreading or multiprocessor capabilities.
JavaScript Development Tools: The tutorial points out that JavaScript doesn’t require expensive tools, with a simple text editor being sufficient. Several more advanced editors like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Macromedia HomeSite 5 are also mentioned.
Where is JavaScript Today? The tutorial mentions ECMAScript Edition 5 as a significant update and notes that JavaScript 2.0 conforms to this standard with minor differences. It states that Netscape’s JavaScript and Microsoft’s JScript align with the ECMAScript standard while still supporting non-standard features.
JavaScript Syntax: JavaScript code is placed within <script>…</script> HTML tags. The <script> tag can be placed anywhere but is “normally recommended” within the <head> tags. Important attributes of the <script> tag are language (though phased out, typically “javascript”) and type (recommended, set to “text/javascript”). A basic “Hello World” example using document.write() is provided, along with the use of HTML comments (<!– … //–>) to handle browsers without JavaScript support, where // within the comment prevents the closing HTML comment tag from being interpreted as JavaScript. The tutorial clarifies that “JavaScript ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines” and that “Semicolons are Optional” if statements are on separate lines, although using them is good practice. Importantly, “JavaScript is a case-sensitive language.” Both // (single-line) and /* … */ (multi-line) comments are supported, and <!– is treated as a single-line JavaScript comment, with //–> being the recommended way to close an HTML comment containing JavaScript.
JavaScript Enabling: The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to enable or disable JavaScript in various popular browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. The use of <noscript> tags to display a warning message to users with JavaScript disabled is also explained. For example:
<noscript>
Sorry…JavaScript is needed to go ahead.
</noscript>
JavaScript Placement: The tutorial details four ways to include JavaScript in HTML: within the <head>, within the <body>, in both <head> and <body>, and in an external .js file included using the src attribute of the <script> tag. Placing scripts in the <head> is suggested for scripts that run on events, while placing them in the <body> is for scripts that generate content on page load. External files (<script type=”text/javascript” src=”filename.js” ></script>) are recommended for reusing identical JavaScript code across multiple pages.
JavaScript Variables: JavaScript supports three primitive data types: “Numbers, e.g., 123, 120.50 etc.“, “Strings of text, e.g. ‘This text string’ etc.“, and “Boolean, e.g. true or false.“. It also defines trivial types null and undefined, and a composite type object. All numbers are treated as 64-bit floating-point values. Variables are declared using the var keyword (var money;, var money, name;). Initialization can occur at declaration or later (var name = “Ali”;, money = 2000.50;). Re-declaration of variables with the same name using var should be avoided. JavaScript is an “untyped language“, meaning a variable can hold any data type, and the type can change during execution. Variable scope is either global (defined anywhere) or local (visible only within a function). Local variables take precedence over global variables with the same name within a function. Rules for variable names include: no JavaScript reserved keywords, must not start with a numeral, must begin with a letter or underscore, and are case-sensitive. A comprehensive list of JavaScript reserved words is provided.
JavaScript Operators: An operator is defined as a symbol that performs an operation on operands (e.g., in 4 + 5 = 9, + is the operator, and 4 and 5 are operands). The tutorial covers arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %, ++, –, noting that + can also concatenate strings), comparison operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=), logical operators (&&, ||, !), bitwise operators (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>, >>>), assignment operators (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, and their bitwise counterparts), and miscellaneous operators, specifically the conditional (ternary) operator (? 🙂 and the typeof operator. The typeof operator returns a string indicating the data type of its operand (e.g., “number”, “string”, “boolean”, “object”, “function”, “undefined”). Examples are provided for each operator type. For instance, regarding the conditional operator:
result = (a > b) ? 100 : 200;
This assigns 100 to result if a is greater than b, and 200 otherwise.
Part 2: JavaScript Objects
This section introduces the concept of objects in JavaScript.
JavaScript Objects: An object is a collection of properties (named values) and methods (functions that can be performed on the object). The tutorial covers user-defined objects, defining methods for objects, and the use of the with keyword (though often discouraged).
Built-in Objects: The tutorial then delves into various built-in JavaScript objects, detailing their properties and methods with examples:
Number: Properties like MAX_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, NaN, NEGATIVE_INFINITY, POSITIVE_INFINITY, prototype, constructor, and methods like toExponential(), toFixed(), toLocaleString(), toPrecision(), toString(), valueOf().
Boolean: Properties constructor, prototype, and methods toSource(), toString(), valueOf().
String: Properties constructor, length, prototype, and numerous methods for string manipulation (e.g., charAt(), charCodeAt(), concat(), indexOf(), lastIndexOf(), slice(), split(), replace(), search(), toLowerCase(), toUpperCase(), etc.) and HTML wrappers (e.g., anchor(), bold(), italics(), link()).
Date: Properties constructor, prototype, various methods for getting and setting date and time components (e.g., getDate(), getDay(), getFullYear(), getHours(), setDate(), setFullYear(), setHours(), getTime(), setTime(), and their UTC counterparts), as well as methods for converting dates to string formats (e.g., toDateString(), toGMTString(), toLocaleDateString(), toString(), toTimeString(), toUTCString(), valueOf()). Static methods Date.parse() and Date.UTC() are also covered.
Math: Properties for mathematical constants (e.g., Math.E, Math.PI, Math.LN2, Math.LOG2E, Math.SQRT2) and a wide range of mathematical functions as methods (e.g., abs(), acos(), asin(), atan(), ceil(), cos(), exp(), floor(), log(), max(), min(), pow(), random(), round(), sin(), sqrt(), tan()).
RegExp: Covers regular expressions, including brackets, quantifiers, literal characters, metacharacters, and modifiers. Properties like constructor, global, ignoreCase, lastIndex, multiline, source, and methods exec(), test(), toSource(), toString().
DOM (Document Object Model): Briefly introduces the DOM, mentioning “The Legacy DOM”, “The W3C DOM”, and “The IE 4 DOM”, as well as “DOM Compatibility”.
Part 3: JavaScript Advanced
This section touches upon more advanced JavaScript concepts.
Errors and Exceptions: Discusses syntax errors, runtime errors, and logical errors. It introduces the try…catch…finally statement for error handling, the throw statement for raising custom exceptions, and the onerror() method.
Form Validation: Covers basic and data format validation techniques in JavaScript to ensure user input is correct before submission.
Animation: Introduces manual and automated animation techniques using JavaScript, including rollover effects with mouse events.
Multimedia: Briefly mentions checking for browser plug-ins and controlling multimedia elements using JavaScript.
Debugging: Provides information on error messages in different browsers (IE, Firefox/Mozilla), error notifications, and general tips for debugging JavaScript code.
Image Map: Covers the implementation of image maps using JavaScript.
Browsers: Discusses the navigator object and its properties (e.g., appName, appVersion, userAgent) and methods, as well as techniques for browser detection.
Key Themes and Important Ideas:
JavaScript as a Client-Side Scripting Language: The primary role of JavaScript is to enhance HTML and create dynamic and interactive web pages by running in the user’s browser.
Ease of Implementation: JavaScript is presented as easy to start with, requiring just a text editor and a web browser.
Integration with HTML: JavaScript code is embedded within HTML using <script> tags, allowing for close interaction between the structure and behavior of a web page.
Fundamental Programming Concepts: The tutorial covers core programming concepts like variables, data types, operators, control flow statements (conditionals and loops), and functions, providing a foundation for writing more complex scripts.
Object-Oriented Capabilities: While described as interpreted, JavaScript is also highlighted as having object-oriented capabilities, with the introduction of objects, properties, and methods.
Built-in Functionality: JavaScript provides a rich set of built-in objects (Number, Boolean, String, Array, Date, Math, RegExp) with numerous properties and methods that simplify common programming tasks.
Event Handling: JavaScript enables the creation of interactive web pages by allowing scripts to respond to user-initiated events (e.g., onclick, onsubmit, onmouseover).
Browser Interaction: JavaScript can interact with the browser environment, including handling cookies, performing page redirects and refreshes, and displaying dialog boxes.
Error Handling and Validation: The tutorial introduces mechanisms for handling errors and validating user input, crucial for creating robust web applications.

How is JavaScript typically included and placed within an HTML document?
JavaScript code is included within HTML documents using the <script> tags. These tags can be placed in the <head>, the <body>, or both sections of the HTML. Additionally, JavaScript code can be stored in an external .js file and linked to the HTML document using the src attribute of the <script> tag. It is often recommended to place script tags in the <head> for scripts that run on events or in the <body> for scripts that generate content on page load.
What are variables in JavaScript and what are the rules for naming them?
In JavaScript, variables are named containers used to store data. Before using a variable, it must be declared using the var keyword (though modern JavaScript introduces let and const). Variable names must not be JavaScript reserved keywords, should not start with a numeral, must begin with a letter or an underscore, and are case-sensitive.
What are the different types of operators available in JavaScript and what are their basic functionalities?
JavaScript supports various types of operators, including:
Bitwise Operators: Perform operations on the binary representations of numbers (e.g., &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>, >>>).
Miscellaneous Operators: Include the conditional (ternary) operator ?: and the typeof operator to determine the data type of a variable.
How can users enable or disable JavaScript support in common web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome?
The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for enabling and disabling JavaScript in Internet Explorer (via Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Scripting > Active scripting), Firefox (by toggling the javascript.enabled setting in about:config), Chrome (via Settings > Show advanced settings > Content settings > Javascript), and Opera (via Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > Enable JavaScript). It also mentions using the <noscript> tag to display a warning to users with JavaScript disabled.
JavaScript Basics: A Beginner’s Guide
Let’s discuss JavaScript Basics based on the provided tutorial.
What is JavaScript? JavaScript is described as a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It is designed for creating network-centric applications and is commonly used as part of web pages to enable client-side scripts that can interact with the user and create dynamic pages. JavaScript has object-oriented capabilities and is complementary to and integrated with Java and HTML. It is also considered open and cross-platform and very easy to implement because it is integrated with HTML. It was initially known as LiveScript but was renamed JavaScript by Netscape, possibly due to the popularity of Java. JavaScript first appeared in Netscape 2.0 in 1995.
Audience and Prerequisites The tutorial is prepared for JavaScript beginners to help them understand the basic functionality for building dynamic web pages and web applications. It is assumed that the reader has prior knowledge of HTML coding. Some prior exposure to object-oriented programming concepts and a general idea of creating online applications would also be helpful.
Client-Side JavaScriptClient-side JavaScript is the most common form of the language. For the code to be interpreted by the browser, the script needs to be included in or referenced by an HTML document. This allows web pages to be dynamic, interacting with users, controlling the browser, and dynamically creating HTML content. Client-side JavaScript offers advantages over traditional server-side scripts, such as less server interaction, immediate feedback to visitors, increased interactivity, and richer interfaces.
Limitations of JavaScript Despite its capabilities, JavaScript is not considered a full-fledged programming language and has limitations. Client-side JavaScript does not allow reading or writing files for security reasons. It also lacks support for networking applications, multithreading, and multiprocessor capabilities. However, it excels at adding interactivity to static HTML pages.
JavaScript Development Tools A major advantage of JavaScript is that it does not require expensive development tools. You can start with a simple text editor like Notepad. As it’s an interpreted language within a web browser, a compiler is not needed. Several vendors offer more advanced JavaScript editing tools, such as Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Macromedia HomeSite 5.
Where is JavaScript Today? Modern JavaScript implementations like Netscape’s JavaScript and Microsoft’s JScript conform to the ECMAScript standard.
Including JavaScript in HTML (Placement) JavaScript code is implemented using <script>…</script> HTML tags in a web page. These tags can be placed anywhere within the web page, but it is generally recommended to keep them within the <head> tags. The <script> tag signals the browser to interpret the text within it as a script. The <script> tag can have attributes like language (though its use is being phased out) and type, which should be set to “text/javascript”.
There are preferred ways to include JavaScript in an HTML file:
In the <head>…</head> section: This is often used for scripts that run on events, like user clicks.
In the <body>…</body> section: Scripts placed here typically run as the page loads to generate content.
In both <head> and <body> sections: You can have scripts in both sections.
In an external file: For reusing code across multiple pages, JavaScript can be stored in a .js file and included using the src attribute of the <script> tag in the <head> section.
Basic Syntax
Whitespace and Line Breaks: JavaScript ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines, allowing for flexible formatting to improve readability.
Semicolons: Semicolons at the end of simple statements are generally optional if each statement is on a separate line. However, it’s good programming practice to use semicolons.
Case Sensitivity: JavaScript is case-sensitive. Keywords, variables, function names, and identifiers must have consistent capitalization (e.g., Time and TIME are different).
Comments: JavaScript supports C-style (/* … */ for multi-line and single-line) and C++-style (// for single-line) comments. It also recognizes the HTML comment opening <!– as a single-line comment but requires the closing –> to be written as //–> to avoid being read as JavaScript code.
Enabling JavaScript in Browsers The tutorial outlines how to enable JavaScript in various browsers:
Internet Explorer: Through Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Custom Level -> Scripting -> Active Scripting -> Enable.
Firefox: By typing about:config in the address bar, accepting the warning, searching for javascript.enabled, and toggling its value.
Chrome: Via Chrome menu -> Settings -> Show advanced settings -> Privacy -> Content settings -> Javascript and selecting the desired option.
Warning for Non-JavaScript Browsers The <noscript> tags can be used to display a warning message to users whose browsers do not support JavaScript or have it disabled. The content within <noscript> tags is displayed in place of the JavaScript code in such cases.
Variables JavaScript allows working with three primitive data types: Numbers, Strings, and Boolean. It also defines two trivial data types: null and undefined. Additionally, JavaScript supports a composite data type: object. Importantly, JavaScript does not distinguish between integer and floating-point numbers; all numbers are represented as 64-bit floating-point values according to the IEEE 754 standard.
Variables are named containers for storing data. They are declared using the var keyword. Multiple variables can be declared with a single var keyword. Variable initialization is the process of storing a value in a variable, which can happen at the time of declaration or later. The var keyword should only be used for the initial declaration or initialization of a variable. JavaScript is an untyped language, meaning a variable can hold a value of any data type, and the type can change during program execution.
Variable Scope JavaScript has two variable scopes:
Global Variables: Declared outside any function, they have global scope and can be accessed anywhere in the code.
Local Variables: Declared within a function, they are visible only within that function. Function parameters are always local. A local variable with the same name as a global variable takes precedence within the function, effectively hiding the global variable.
Variable Names When naming variables, the following rules apply:
Reserved JavaScript keywords cannot be used.
They should not start with a numeral (0-9) but must begin with a letter or an underscore.
They are case-sensitive.
Reserved Words The tutorial provides a list of reserved words that cannot be used as identifiers in JavaScript.
Operators JavaScript supports various types of operators:
Arithmetic Operators: These include + (addition, also for string concatenation), – (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), % (modulus), ++ (increment), and — (decrement).
Comparison Operators: These include == (equal), != (not equal), > (greater than), < (less than), >= (greater than or equal to), and <= (less than or equal to).
Logical Operators: These include && (logical AND), || (logical OR), and ! (logical NOT).
Bitwise Operators: These operate on the bit level and include & (bitwise AND), | (bitwise OR), ^ (bitwise XOR), ~ (bitwise NOT), << (left shift), >> (right shift), and >>> (right shift with zero).
Assignment Operators: These assign values to variables and include = (simple assignment), += (add and assignment), -= (subtract and assignment), *= (multiply and assignment), /= (divide and assignment), and %= (modulus and assignment). Similar assignment operators exist for bitwise operations (e.g., <<=, >>=, &=, |=, ^=).
Miscellaneous Operators:Conditional Operator (? 🙂: This is a ternary operator that evaluates a condition and returns one of two expressions based on the result.
typeof Operator: This unary operator returns a string indicating the data type of its operand (e.g., “number”, “string”, “boolean”, “object”, “function”, “undefined”). Note that typeof null returns “object”.
This covers the fundamental aspects of JavaScript as introduced in the “JavaScript Basics” part of the tutorial. The subsequent parts delve into JavaScript Objects and Advanced topics.
JavaScript Language Features: Core Concepts
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf” and our previous discussion, let’s delve into the language features of JavaScript:
Core Characteristics:
JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It is also described as a dynamic computer programming language.
It is designed for creating network-centric applications and is most commonly used as a part of web pages. Its implementations allow client-side script to interact with the user and make dynamic pages.
JavaScript has object-oriented capabilities.
It is complementary to and integrated with Java and HTML. In fact, it is considered very easy to implement because it is integrated with HTML.
JavaScript is open and cross-platform.
The core of the language has been embedded in various web browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer.
The ECMA-262 Specification defined a standard version of the core JavaScript language, and JavaScript 2.0 conforms to Edition 5 of this standard.
Data Types:
JavaScript allows you to work with three primitive data types: Numbers, Strings of text, and Boolean (true or false).
It also defines two trivial data types: null and undefined, each having a single value.
JavaScript supports a composite data type known as object.
Notably, JavaScript does not distinguish between integer values and floating-point values. All numbers are represented as 64-bit floating-point format defined by the IEEE 754 standard.
Variables:
JavaScript uses variables as named containers to store data.
Variables are declared using the var keyword. Multiple variables can be declared with a single var keyword.
Variable initialization involves storing a value in a variable, which can occur during declaration or later.
JavaScript is an untyped language, meaning a variable can hold a value of any data type, and this type can change during the program’s execution.
Variables have scope: global scope (defined outside functions, accessible anywhere) and local scope (defined within a function, visible only there). Local variables take precedence over global variables with the same name within a function.
There are rules for naming variables: they cannot be reserved keywords, should not start with a numeral, must begin with a letter or underscore, and are case-sensitive.
Operators: JavaScript supports a variety of operators to perform operations on operands:
Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %, ++, –. The addition operator + can also be used for string concatenation.
Miscellaneous Operators:Conditional Operator (? 🙂: A ternary operator for conditional expressions.
typeof Operator: A unary operator that returns a string indicating the data type of an operand.
Syntax:
JavaScript code is typically placed within <script>…</script> tags in an HTML document.
These <script> tags can be located in the <head> or <body> sections of the HTML. JavaScript can also be included from external .js files using the src attribute of the <script> tag.
Whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) is generally ignored, allowing for code formatting to enhance readability.
Semicolons at the end of simple statements are optional if each statement is on a new line, but using them is considered good practice.
JavaScript is case-sensitive.
Comments can be added using // for single-line comments and /* … */ for multi-line comments. It also recognizes <!– as a single-line HTML comment, and //–> is used to close JavaScript within HTML comments for compatibility with older browsers.
These features collectively define the fundamental characteristics and capabilities of the JavaScript language as outlined in the initial sections of the provided tutorial.
JavaScript Core Concepts
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf” and our conversation history, here’s a discussion of the core concepts of JavaScript:
What JavaScript Is: At its core, JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It’s also described as a dynamic computer programming language. Its primary design purpose is for creating network-centric applications, and it is most commonly used as a part of web pages. This allows for client-side scripting, enabling web pages to interact with the user and become dynamic. JavaScript is considered complementary to and integrated with both Java and HTML. Its integration with HTML makes it very easy to implement. Furthermore, it’s an open and cross-platform language. The general-purpose core of JavaScript has been embedded in various web browsers.
Client-Side Focus:Client-side JavaScript is the most prevalent form of the language. For JavaScript code to be interpreted and executed by the browser, it needs to be included in or referenced by an HTML document. This client-side mechanism provides significant advantages, such as less server interaction (by validating user input before submission) and immediate feedback to visitors (without requiring a page reload). It also enables increased interactivity and richer interfaces on web pages.
Basic Syntax: JavaScript code is typically placed within <script>…</script> HTML tags. These tags alert the browser to interpret the enclosed text as a script. The <script> tag can have attributes like language (though this is being phased out) and type, with the recommended type being “text/javascript”.
Key aspects of JavaScript syntax include:
Whitespace and Line Breaks: JavaScript generally ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines, allowing for flexible code formatting to improve readability.
Semicolons: While semicolons are optional if each statement is on a new line, it is considered good programming practice to use them. They are mandatory when multiple statements are on a single line.
Case Sensitivity: JavaScript is case-sensitive, meaning that keywords, variables, function names, and other identifiers must have consistent capitalization (e.g., Time and TIME are different).
Comments: JavaScript supports both C-style (/* … */ for multi-line and // for single-line) and recognizes the HTML comment opening (<!– as a single-line comment) and closing (//–>) sequences.
Variables and Data Types: JavaScript uses variables as named containers to store data. Before using a variable, it must be declared using the var keyword. Multiple variables can be declared with a single var. Initialization is the process of assigning a value to a variable, which can happen at declaration or later.
JavaScript is an untyped language, meaning a single variable can hold values of different data types during its lifetime. It supports several primitive data types:
Numbers: All numbers are treated as floating-point values using the 64-bit IEEE 754 standard.
Strings: Represent sequences of text (e.g., “Hello”).
Boolean: Represents logical values (true or false).
Null: A trivial type with only one value: null.
Undefined: Another trivial type with only one value: undefined.
In addition to these, JavaScript has a composite data type called object. Variables have scope, which can be global (accessible anywhere) or local (accessible only within a function).
Operators: JavaScript provides various operators to perform operations on values (operands):
Comparison Operators: Compare two operands and return a boolean value (== equal, != not equal, > greater than, < less than, >= greater than or equal to, <= less than or equal to).
Bitwise Operators: Operate on the binary representation of integers (& AND, | OR, ^ XOR, ~ NOT, << left shift, >> right shift, >>> unsigned right shift).
Assignment Operators: Assign values to variables (= simple assignment, += add and assign, -= subtract and assign, *= multiply and assign, /= divide and assign, %= modulus and assign, and similar for bitwise operators).
Miscellaneous Operators: Include the conditional (ternary) operator (? 🙂 for concise conditional expressions and the typeof operator to determine the data type of a variable.
Placement in HTML: JavaScript code can be included in an HTML document in several ways:
Directly within the <head>…</head> section, often used for scripts that run on events or utility functions.
Directly within the <body>…</body> section, typically for scripts that generate content as the page loads.
In both the <head> and <body> sections.
In an external .js file, which is then linked into the HTML using the src attribute of the <script> tag in the <head>. This promotes code reusability across multiple HTML pages.
Understanding these core concepts provides a foundational understanding of how JavaScript functions and its role in web development as described in the sources.
JavaScript’s Web Integration: Core Concepts
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf” and our conversation history, JavaScript’s integration with the web is a fundamental aspect of its design and usage. Here’s a discussion of this web integration:
Core Role in Web Pages: JavaScript is most commonly used as a part of web pages. Its implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user and make dynamic pages. This is a primary reason for JavaScript’s existence and widespread adoption.
Client-Side Scripting: JavaScript is fundamentally a client-side scripting language. This means that the JavaScript code is typically embedded in or referenced by an HTML document and is then interpreted and executed by the user’s web browser. This client-side execution enables interactivity and dynamic content generation directly within the browser.
Complementary to and Integrated with HTML: The tutorial emphasizes that JavaScript is complementary to and integrated with HTML. In fact, it is considered very easy to implement because it is integrated with HTML. This close relationship means that JavaScript code works within the structure and content defined by HTML.
Inclusion in HTML using <script> Tags: JavaScript code is embedded within HTML documents using the <script>…</script> tags. These tags serve as containers for JavaScript code and instruct the browser to interpret the content between them as a script. The <script> tag can take attributes such as language (typically “javascript”, though being phased out) and type (recommended to be “text/javascript”).
Placement of <script> Tags: The tutorial details various ways to place <script> tags within an HTML document:
<head>…</head> Section: Placing scripts in the <head> section is often done for scripts that need to run on specific events or for utility functions that might be used throughout the page.
<body>…</body> Section: If a script needs to run as the page loads and generate content directly into the page, it is typically placed in the <body> section.
Both <head> and <body> Sections: It is possible to include JavaScript in both sections of an HTML document.
External File: For larger projects and reusability, JavaScript code can be stored in external files with the .js extension and then included in HTML files using the src attribute of the <script> tag, usually placed in the <head>. This allows for maintaining identical code across multiple pages.
Dynamic Content and User Interaction: By being integrated into web pages, JavaScript enables them to be dynamic. It can interact with the user, respond to their actions (like button clicks or mouse hovers), control the browser, and dynamically create HTML content. For example, JavaScript can be used to validate form input before submitting it to the server.
Event Handling: JavaScript can “trap user-initiated events” such as button clicks and link navigation, allowing developers to execute specific code in response to these interactions. The tutorial later introduces the concept of “Events” and specific event types like onclick, onsubmit, and onmouseover/onmouseout, further illustrating this interaction.
Basic Output and DOM Manipulation (Implicit): While the Document Object Model (DOM) is formally introduced later in the tutorial, the early examples using document.write() demonstrate a basic level of interaction with the HTML document to output content. This is a fundamental aspect of JavaScript’s web integration – its ability to manipulate the structure and content of the web page.
Handling Browsers Without JavaScript: Recognizing that some browsers might not support JavaScript or have it disabled, the tutorial mentions the <noscript> tags. Content within these tags is displayed to users if their browser does not support JavaScript or if JavaScript is not enabled, allowing for a fallback mechanism or a warning message.
In summary, JavaScript’s web integration is characterized by its role as a client-side scripting language deeply intertwined with HTML, enabling dynamic behavior, user interaction, and content manipulation within web browsers. The <script> tag and its various placement options are key mechanisms for incorporating JavaScript into web pages, with external files promoting code organization and reusability.
JavaScript Development Tools: Simplicity and Enhanced Editors
Based on the “javascript_tutorial.pdf”, here’s a discussion of JavaScript development tools:
The tutorial points out that one of the significant advantages of JavaScript is that it does not require expensive development tools. You can begin writing JavaScript code with a simple text editor such as Notepad. Since JavaScript is an interpreted language within the context of a web browser, you don’t even need to buy a compiler.
However, the tutorial also mentions that various vendors have created nice JavaScript editing tools to make development simpler. Some of these tools listed in the source are:
Microsoft FrontPage: Described as a popular HTML editor that also provides web developers with JavaScript tools to assist in creating interactive websites.
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Identified as a very popular HTML and JavaScript editor among professional web developers. It offers prebuilt JavaScript components, integrates well with databases, and conforms to new standards like XHTML and XML.
Macromedia HomeSite 5: Presented as a well-liked HTML and JavaScript editor from Macromedia, suitable for effectively managing personal websites.
In summary, the tutorial highlights that basic JavaScript development can start with a simple text editor and a web browser. For more enhanced development experiences, dedicated HTML and JavaScript editors like Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Macromedia HomeSite 5 are available, offering features that can simplify the process of building interactive websites. Our previous conversations have focused on the core concepts and web integration of JavaScript and did not delve into specific development tools beyond what is mentioned in this source.

Quiz Answer Key
In Windows 11, the Start button is located in the center of the taskbar. Clicking it opens a menu displaying pinned applications at the top and recommended recent files, folders, and newly installed apps below.
“Pinned apps” are applications that have been manually placed in the Start menu for easy access. “Recommended” shows recently opened files, folders, and recently installed applications. You can manage pinned apps by right-clicking on an app icon in the Start menu and selecting “Pin to Start” or “Unpin from Start.”
You can launch an application by single-clicking its icon in the Start menu or on the taskbar. You can also launch an application by double-clicking its icon on the desktop. A key difference is that you single-click icons in the Start menu and taskbar, but double-click icons on the desktop to open them.
To shut down or restart, click the Start button, then click the power icon located at the bottom right of the Start menu. From there, you can choose “Shut down” or “Restart.” Restarting periodically is recommended to refresh the system, as programs can accumulate memory and resources over time, potentially slowing down the computer.
To pin an application to the taskbar, find the application (either in the Start menu or the “All apps” list), right-click on its icon, and select “Pin to taskbar.” To unpin an application, right-click on its icon on the taskbar and select “Unpin from taskbar.” Customizing the taskbar allows you to keep frequently used applications readily accessible.
The small upward-pointing arrow icon on the right side of the taskbar reveals a hidden area for background applications that don’t always need to be visible. Examples of applications found here include Windows Security (antivirus) and other utilities running in the background.
Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service that allows you to save files online and synchronize them across multiple devices, such as a desktop and a laptop. This ensures that changes made on one device are automatically updated on others, eliminating the need for physical storage devices for transferring files.
Clicking the network or volume icon on the right side of the taskbar opens a panel where you can adjust volume using a slider and see your network connection status. This area also provides access to other settings like airplane mode (if applicable), accessibility settings, and the Night Light feature to reduce blue light emissions.
Task View is a feature in Windows 11 that displays all currently open windows as thumbnails, allowing you to quickly switch between them. You can access it by clicking the Task View button on the taskbar (it looks like overlapping rectangles) or by pressing the Windows key + Tab. It helps manage multiple open applications by providing a visual overview.
“Cut and paste” moves an item (text, file, or folder) from its original location to a new location. The original item is removed. “Copy and paste” creates a duplicate of the item in a new location, while the original item remains in its original place. The keyboard shortcut for cut is Ctrl+X, for copy is Ctrl+C, and for paste is Ctrl+V.

Most Important Ideas and Facts
The Taskbar
The Start button has moved from the far left to the center of the Taskbar.
“start button on all other versions of Windows prior to Windows 11 was always on the far left right now the far left is taken up by this little widget area all right but start button right here”
Clicking the Start button reveals pinned apps (default and user-defined) and recommended items (recent files, folders, and newly installed apps).
“when you click on your start button you get a view of a bunch of pinned apps which means uh just things that have been set into the uh default start area here right in front of you”
“underneath recommended you’re going to see uh recent files and folders that you’ve opened”
An All apps button in the top right of the Start Menu provides a full list of installed applications, accessible alphabetically with a jump-to-letter feature.
“if you want to see all your apps you have to go to this little button right here in the top right hand corner and when you click there you get the full list of installed apps and all their little icons”
Users can pin and unpin applications to both the Start Menu and the Taskbar for quick access.
“you can right click on it and say pin to start or if it’s already in start uh unpin from start”
“we could rightclick and we can say pin to taskar so so just as you can pin things into the start area you can pin and unpin things from the taskbar itself”
Single-clicking icons on the Taskbar or within the Start Menu opens applications, unlike the double-clicking required for desktop icons.
“double click on it from the desktop single click from start and single click when you’re looking at uh clicking on an icon in the taskbar”
The Power button is located within the Start Menu, offering options for shutdown, restart, and sleep. Shutdown is recommended over sleep for better system stability.
“when you’re done with Windows for the day you can click on the start button click on this little power icon and then click shut down I recommend shutting down over sleep”
Restarting the computer regularly (ideally daily or at least weekly) is important for releasing memory and resources, preventing system sluggishness.
“you shouldn’t let a computer run say for 30 days without restarting it because what happens is programs take up bits of memory and resources and they don’t always release them”
The right side of the Taskbar includes a hidden icons area (accessed via an upward arrow) for background applications like Windows Security.
“if you click on that and you may not have one depending on how many icons you have at play but uh what this is is like an area where they hide icons that are just for things that are just running in the background”
Visible icons on the right Taskbar provide access to features like OneDrive, language settings, network status, and volume control. Clicking the network or volume icon opens a quick settings panel.
“things that aren’t in this little hidden menu are the more visible icons that we see to the left of the uh time and here so uh one of these is Microsoft One Drive… and here is our little language area… and then we have our little Network icon… so the next one over is volume”
The notification area (bell icon) displays system notifications. Users should be cautious of urgent-sounding notifications, especially from websites, as they could be scams.
“right next to that we have a little notification area that little bell here… notifications do pop up just like this in the lower right hand corner… be careful because uh people can also get uh notifications from websites and other third parties… be wary of scams and stuff right”
The Desktop
The area above the Taskbar is called the desktop, featuring a customizable wallpaper and icons for software and utilities.
Taskbar Settings
Right-clicking the Taskbar and selecting Taskbar settings allows customization of Taskbar elements and behaviors.
Users can hide or change the appearance of the search bar, widgets, and the Task View button.
The Taskbar alignment can be changed to move the Start button back to the left.
“come down to the bottom here where it says taskbar behaviors right and click the little arrow pointing down there and then it has taskar alignment and you can choose to place the start button back on the left where your brain expects it to be”
The setting “Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels” controls how multiple windows of the same application are displayed on the Taskbar. “Never” will show each window separately with its label.
“where it says combine taskbar buttons and hide labels right so generally by default it’s on to always do that… if we switch this to uh never for example now instead of that layered File Explorer icon… now it actually shows me that I’m in pictures music and desktop”
Desktop Icons
Right-clicking a desktop icon provides a context menu with options like cut, copy, rename (represented by an icon), share, and delete.
Deleted items are moved to the Recycle Bin and can be restored.
Internet Access with Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser in Windows 11.
The first-time setup of Edge involves several prompts regarding data syncing, tracking, and theme selection. Beginners are advised to “start without your data” and decline most tracking offers to reduce complexity.
“this is the first time it’s sprun so you know welcome to Microsoft Edge and it’s going to ask you if you want to sign in to sync data right… but you know we’re beginners here so we’re going to say start without your data right now it’s going to ask you know you always want to have access to your recent browsing data right typically I like to say no to most of these offers”
The default homepage is Microsoft Bing. Users can navigate to other websites by typing the URL in the address bar.
Web browsing involves tabs, which can be opened using the “+” icon or by right-clicking a link and selecting “open link in new tab.” Tabs can be reordered.
The three-dot menu in Edge provides access to settings and other functionalities, including the option to hide the sidebar.
“this these three little dots here is the menu for all kinds of things right and that’s standard on Windows these days”
The default search engine used in the Edge address bar can be changed in the browser’s settings (e.g., from Bing to Google).
Windows 11 Settings
The main Windows 11 Settings app can be accessed by right-clicking the Start button and selecting “Settings.” It is organized into different categories for system configuration.
Windows Update allows users to check for and install updates for Windows and other Microsoft products. Optional updates, including driver updates, can be found in Advanced options. Restarting the computer is often required to complete updates.
“right click on the start button and then click on settings right… Windows update if you click on that you can click on check for updates”
Personalization settings enable users to change the background (picture, solid color, slideshow, Windows Spotlight), colors, and themes, including high contrast themes for accessibility.
“One you might want to jump into right away if you like things to look the way you like them to look is personalization right and here is where you can change background and colors and themes Etc”
The classic Control Panel is still accessible by searching for “control” in the Start Menu. It provides access to various system settings.
“you can click on the start button but and type in the word control and you’ll see the control panel come up as an offering”
Key Control Panel settings include:
Mouse: Adjusting double-click speed and changing the pointer size and visibility (e.g., showing pointer location with the Ctrl key).
“One thing that I like to do on every new system is click on Mouse right and then here under double click speed I pull that all the way to the left so that it’s slow… I like to go down to Windows standard extra large right”
Power Options: Configuring power plans and sleep settings.
“another feature I would point out to you uh right now is programs and features so if we click on that uh it’s going to show us a list of all the programs that are installed on the system”
Programs and Features: Managing traditionally installed software. Note that modern “apps” are often managed differently (e.g., via right-click in the Start Menu).
Devices and Printers: Accessing settings for connected devices.
Date and Time: Adjusting the system date, time, and time zone. It’s recommended to set the correct time zone first.
“often that’s wrong when you get a new computer and you’re sitting in front of it the time Zone’s wrong or the or the just the time your right time zone but the time is off by a few minutes so you can jump in here and click on change date and time… also you can change your time zone right”
Cut, Copy, and Paste
Cut (Ctrl+X): Moves selected text or files to the clipboard, removing them from the original location.
Copy (Ctrl+C): Duplicates selected text or files to the clipboard, leaving the original intact.
Paste (Ctrl+V): Inserts the content of the clipboard into the current location.
These functions work with text in applications like Notepad and with files and folders in File Explorer. Right-click menus also provide these options (often as icons in Windows 11).
“The default keys for uh those commands are it’s control X for cut… copy is contrl c for copy and then uh pasting is contrl V right”
File Explorer
File Explorer is used to manage files and folders.
The left-hand navigation pane can be resized.
It’s useful to show file name extensions in the View settings to easily identify file types.
“what I like to do is click on view View and then go to show and then choose or select file name extensions right and then uh instead of it just saying Firefox installer here now it says Firefox installer.exe”
The “Expand to open folder” option (in Options > View) makes the navigation pane on the left dynamically display the currently open folder in the file system hierarchy (though this feature has a temporary bug in a recent update).
“if we scroll down to the bottom here I choose expand to open folder”
Files and folders can be viewed in different layouts (e.g., extra large icons, details). The “Details” view is recommended as it shows name, date modified, type, and size. Columns can be clicked to sort by that attribute.
“the one I tend to like is the details view here so that gives you the name the date modified the type and the size right and you can you can click on any of these headings to sort by that bit”
Users can create new folders by right-clicking in an empty area or using the “New” button in the ribbon. Files and folders can be dragged and dropped between locations.
“make sure you’ve clicked on the right somewhere in the white space on the right hand side right right and then you can click on new up here in the upper left and choose folder”
Right-clicking is context-sensitive, offering different menus and options depending on the element clicked.
Display and Text Size
In Display settings (right-click desktop > Display settings), users can adjust the screen resolution. While the recommended resolution is usually the default, lower resolutions can make interface elements appear larger. Avoid resolutions with a vertical height below 768.
“you can click on display resolution here and choose a different resolution now the higher the highest number it tends to be the uh recommended resolution for your monitor and usually that’s going to be your default right but uh if you choose some smaller numbers uh you may find that uh everything just looks uh you know that much bigger and more visually accessible for you”
Text size can be adjusted in Accessibility settings (search “text size” in Settings). A slider allows users to increase or decrease the default text size. Be cautious of making text too large, as it may cause layout issues in some applications.
“in the uh find a setting area here just type in the word text and you’ll see text size all right click on that it’ll bring you to the accessibility Tex size area and there’s a little slider here”
This briefing document provides a foundational understanding of the Windows 11 interface and essential functions as described in the source. New users are encouraged to explore these areas further to become comfortable with the operating system.
Windows 11: Getting Started Guide
Frequently Asked Questions: Getting Started with Windows 11
1. Where is the Start Menu located in Windows 11, and how do I access my applications? In Windows 11, the Start button is located in the center of the taskbar, unlike previous versions where it was on the far left (that area is now occupied by the widgets). Clicking the Start button opens a view of pinned applications. You can navigate through multiple pages of pinned icons using the dots or arrows at the top. Below the pinned apps, you’ll find a “Recommended” section showing recent files, folders, and newly installed applications. To see a full list of all installed apps, click the “All apps” button in the top right corner of the Start Menu. Some apps may be located within folders, indicated by a yellow folder icon; click on the folder to see its contents. To quickly jump to apps starting with a specific letter, click on any letter in the app list, and it will highlight the sections of the alphabet that have content.
2. How do I pin and unpin applications to the Start Menu and Taskbar for quick access? To pin an application to the Start Menu, go to the “All apps” list (via the Start button), right-click on the desired application, and select “Pin to Start.” This will add the application’s icon to your pinned apps view in the Start Menu. To unpin an application from the Start Menu, simply right-click on its icon in the pinned apps area and select “Unpin from Start.” Similarly, you can pin applications to the Taskbar for even quicker access. From the “All apps” list or the Start Menu, right-click on an application and choose “Pin to taskbar.” To remove an application from the Taskbar, right-click on its icon on the Taskbar and select “Unpin from taskbar.”
3. What is the Taskbar, and how can I customize its appearance and behavior? The Taskbar is the bar located at the bottom of your screen in Windows 11. It contains the Start button, pinned applications, running applications (indicated by a small dot underneath their icons), widgets (on the far left), and the system tray (on the far right). You can customize the Taskbar by right-clicking on an empty area of it and selecting “Taskbar settings.” In the settings, you can toggle the visibility of search, task view, widgets, and the co-pilot (if available). Under “Taskbar behaviors,” you can change the “Taskbar alignment” to move the Start button back to the left. The “Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels” option controls how multiple windows of the same application are displayed; you can choose to always combine them (default), never combine them (showing individual icons with labels), or combine them when the taskbar is full. You can also unpin default icons you don’t use (like the Microsoft Store or Teams) by right-clicking on them and selecting “Unpin from taskbar.”
4. How do I manage running applications using the Taskbar and Task View? The Taskbar displays icons for applications that are currently running. A small underline or dot beneath an icon indicates that the application is open. Single-clicking on an icon in the Taskbar will bring that application to the forefront. Hovering your mouse over a combined application icon (if you have multiple windows of the same app open) will show you thumbnails of all the open windows, allowing you to choose the one you want. Task View, which can be enabled in the Taskbar settings, provides a visual overview of all currently open windows. Clicking the Task View button on the Taskbar (it looks like two overlapping rectangles) will display all your open windows as thumbnails, allowing you to easily switch between them by clicking on the desired window.
5. How do I shut down, restart, or put my Windows 11 computer to sleep? To shut down or restart your Windows 11 computer, click on the Start button, then click on the power icon located at the bottom right of the Start Menu. A small menu will appear with options to “Sleep,” “Shut down,” and “Restart.” It is generally recommended to shut down your computer fully rather than relying on sleep mode, as sleep can sometimes lead to issues with devices not waking up properly. Restarting your computer periodically (ideally daily or at least weekly) can help maintain system stability by clearing out used memory and resources that programs may not always release.
6. How do I connect to the internet using Microsoft Edge for the first time, and what are some basic browser navigation tips? To connect to the internet, click on the Microsoft Edge icon on the Taskbar (it’s the blue and green “e” icon). The first time you open Edge, you will be guided through a setup process. It will ask about syncing data (you can choose to “Start without your data” for a simpler initial setup), importing data from other browsers (you can skip this), and allowing Microsoft to track browsing data (you can choose “Don’t allow” for more privacy). After going through these steps and potentially selecting a theme, you will arrive at the Microsoft Bing homepage, indicating you are online. To navigate to a specific website, click in the address bar at the top and type the website’s address (e.g., google.com). You can open new tabs by clicking the “+” icon next to the existing tab. To open a link in a new tab, right-click on the link and select “Open link in new tab.” You can switch between tabs by clicking on them. To change the default search engine used in the address bar, click the three dots (…) in the top right corner of Edge, go to “Settings,” search for “address bar and search,” and then choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down menu. You can also disable the sidebar in Edge settings under the “Sidebar” section.
7. How do I manage files and folders using File Explorer in Windows 11? You can access File Explorer by clicking its icon on the Taskbar (it looks like a folder) or by searching for it in the Start Menu. In File Explorer, the left pane provides a navigation view of your folders. You can expand or collapse folders by clicking the small arrows next to them (though a recent Windows update may temporarily affect this functionality). The right pane displays the contents of the selected folder. You can change the view of files and folders (e.g., details, large icons) by clicking on the “View” tab at the top. To see file extensions (like .exe, .jpg), go to the “View” tab, click “Show,” and select “File name extensions.” To sort files and folders, click on the column headers (Name, Date modified, Type, Size). To create a new folder, navigate to the desired location, right-click in an empty area, select “New,” and then “Folder,” and give it a name. You can move or copy files and folders using cut (Ctrl+X), copy (Ctrl+C), and paste (Ctrl+V) commands, or by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate options. You can also drag and drop files and folders. Deleted items go to the Recycle Bin, from which you can restore them if needed.
8. How can I adjust display settings and text size in Windows 11 for better visual accessibility? To adjust display settings, right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select “Display settings.” Here, you can change the display resolution. If icons and text appear too small on a high-resolution monitor, try selecting a lower resolution. Be cautious not to go below 1024×768 to avoid compatibility issues with some software. Also, pay attention to the aspect ratio to ensure the display fits your monitor without black bars. To change the text size, right-click on the Start button, go to “Settings,” type “text size” in the search bar, and select “Text size.” In the “Accessibility” settings, you’ll find a slider to adjust the text size. Drag the slider to make the text larger or smaller and click “Apply.” Be mindful that making the text too large might cause layout issues in some applications. You can also adjust the mouse cursor size in the Control Panel (search for “Control Panel” in the Start Menu, go to “Mouse,” then the “Pointers” tab, and choose a larger scheme under “Scheme”). In the Control Panel’s “Ease of Access” settings (or by searching for “make the mouse easier to use”), you can also enable features like showing the location of the pointer when you press the Ctrl key.
Windows 11 Basics: A User’s Guide
Let’s discuss some Windows 11 basics based on the information in the source.
When you first encounter Windows 11, the bar at the bottom of your screen is called the taskbar. Several elements reside on the taskbar, with the most crucial being the start button, which is the four-square window icon. Unlike previous Windows versions where the start button was on the far left, in Windows 11, the far left is occupied by the widgets area, and the start button is located more towards the center.
Clicking the start button reveals a view of pinned apps, which are applications set into the default start area. You might see multiple pages of these pinned icons, indicated by dots or arrows that allow you to navigate between the pages. Below the pinned apps, you’ll find the recommended section, displaying recently opened files and folders, as well as recently installed applications.
To access all your installed apps, you need to click the button in the top right corner of the start menu. This will present a full list of apps and their icons. Some apps might be organized within folders, requiring you to click on the folder to see its contents. To quickly navigate this list, you can click on any letter, and it will highlight the sections of the alphabet that contain content.
You can customize the start menu by right-clicking on an app in the ‘all apps’ list and choosing ‘Pin to Start’. If an app is already pinned, the option will be ‘Unpin from Start’. Pinned items generally appear at the bottom of the pinned apps view. Remember that opening a program from the start menu requires a single click.
The taskbar itself also contains other icons by default. You can unpin these icons by right-clicking on them and selecting ‘Unpin from taskbar’. Similarly, you can pin applications to the taskbar by right-clicking on them in the start menu (either pinned or in the ‘all apps’ list) and choosing ‘Pin to taskbar’. Opening an application from the taskbar also requires a single click. Be mindful of this, as double-clicking can lead to opening multiple instances of the same application.
On the far right of the taskbar, you’ll typically find a small up arrow that, when clicked, reveals a hidden area for background applications’ icons, such as Windows Security (the built-in antivirus). To the left of the time, you’ll see more visible icons, which might include Microsoft OneDrive for cloud file synchronization, language settings, the network icon indicating your internet connection status, and the volume icon for adjusting the system volume. Clicking on the network or volume icon often brings up a small panel where you can manage your network connection, volume, and access other settings like Night Light.
Next to the time and date is the notification area, indicated by a little bell. Notifications from Windows and some applications will appear here and might also pop up in the lower right corner of the screen. Be cautious of notifications that create a sense of urgency, as they could be part of scams.
The area above the taskbar is the desktop, where your desktop wallpaper is displayed and where you can place icons for frequently used software, utilities, files, and folders. Opening items on the desktop typically requires a double click.
You can customize the taskbar by right-clicking on it and selecting ‘Taskbar settings’. Here, you can toggle the visibility of elements like the search bar, Co-pilot (which is in preview and might be best turned off initially), widgets, and the task view button. Task view, when enabled, allows you to see all your open windows at a glance and switch between them.
In the taskbar settings, under ‘Taskbar behaviors’, you can change the taskbar alignment to move the start button back to the left, a familiar location for users of older Windows versions. Another useful setting here is ‘Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels’. By default, Windows 11 combines multiple windows of the same application into a single icon. You can change this to ‘Never’ or ‘When taskbar is full’ to see individual icons with labels, making it easier to identify specific open windows.
On the desktop, right-clicking provides a context menu with options. In Windows 11, this menu initially shows icons for common actions like cut, copy, rename, share, and delete. If you prefer the classic right-click menu with full text options, you can often find an option like ‘Show more options’. You can rename desktop icons and delete them. Deleted items are moved to the Recycle Bin, which is usually located in the top left corner of the desktop. You can restore deleted items from the Recycle Bin by right-clicking on them and choosing ‘Restore’.
To access the internet, the default browser in Windows 11 is Microsoft Edge, which is typically pinned to the taskbar. The first time you open Edge, you will be presented with several setup screens asking about data syncing, importing data, and tracking. For a basic setup, you might choose to start without your data, decline data synchronization, and opt not to allow Microsoft to track your browsing. The default homepage for Edge is usually the Microsoft Bing page. You can navigate to other websites by typing the address in the address bar at the top. You can open new tabs using the plus sign and close tabs with the ‘X’. You can also open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it. The three dots menu in Edge provides access to various settings, including the option to hide the sidebar and to change the default search engine used in the address bar (e.g., from Bing to Google).
The main Windows 11 settings can be accessed by right-clicking on the start button and selecting ‘Settings’. The settings are organized into different categories. Windows Update allows you to check for and install updates for Windows and other Microsoft products, including optional driver and Net Framework updates. It’s generally a good idea to keep your system updated. Personalization settings let you change the background wallpaper, colors, and themes, including high contrast themes for accessibility. You can choose a picture, solid color, slideshow, or Windows Spotlight as your background and adjust how the picture fits the screen.
The older Control Panel is still available in Windows 11. You can access it by clicking the start button and typing ‘control’. In the Control Panel, you can switch to a small icon view for easier navigation. Some useful settings within the Control Panel include:
Mouse: Here, you can adjust the double-click speed (slowing it down can be helpful for users who struggle with fast double-clicks) and change the pointer size and options, such as showing the pointer location when you press the Ctrl key.
Power Options: You can manage your power plans and configure when the display turns off and when the computer goes to sleep. On laptops, you’ll have separate settings for battery and plugged-in power.
Programs and Features: This lists many of the traditionally installed software programs, allowing you to uninstall them. Note that some modern apps are managed separately through the start menu.
Devices and Printers: This area, which now redirects to the modern Settings app, shows your installed printers and scanners.
Date and Time: You can adjust the system date, time, and time zone here. It’s often a good idea to set the correct time zone first.
Cut, copy, and paste are fundamental concepts in Windows for moving and duplicating text and files. You can perform these actions by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate option (icons in Windows 11’s initial right-click menu, full text options under ‘Show more options’) or by using keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+C (copy), and Ctrl+V (paste). When you cut or copy an item, it is temporarily stored in the clipboard. The clipboard usually holds only the last item you cut or copied. You can use these commands with text in applications like Notepad and with files and folders in File Explorer.
File Explorer is the tool you use to manage your files and folders. You can adjust the width of the left-hand navigation pane by dragging the vertical line. By default, File Explorer shows the file type, but it’s helpful to enable file name extensions by going to View > Show > File name extensions. This will display the full file name, including extensions like ‘.exe’, ‘.jpg’, ‘.png’, making it easier to identify file types.
In File Explorer’s options (accessed via the three-dot menu > Options), under the View tab, you can select ‘Expand to open folder’. This setting, when working correctly, should cause the left-hand navigation pane to automatically expand and highlight the folder you are currently viewing, providing a clear visual representation of your location within the file system. However, the source mentions a potential bug where this might not always work as expected after a recent update.
File Explorer offers different views for your files and folders (accessed via the down arrow on the ‘View’ option), including extra large icons, large icons, small icons, list, and details. The details view, which is often preferred, shows the file name, date modified, type, and size. You can sort the files by clicking on these column headers.
The left-hand pane of File Explorer displays the folder structure. You can expand or collapse folders by clicking the arrows next to them. To organize your files, you can create new folders within existing ones by right-clicking in the right-hand pane and selecting ‘New > Folder’ or by clicking ‘New folder’ in the upper left. You can then drag and drop files into these folders to create a logical structure. You can also create new files, like text documents, by right-clicking and selecting ‘New’. The breadcrumb bar at the top of File Explorer shows your current location and allows you to navigate back up the folder hierarchy.
Right-clicking is a context-sensitive action in Windows. The menu that appears depends on what you click on. Experimenting with right-clicking on different elements like files, the taskbar, icons in the system tray, the start button, and the desktop can reveal various options and shortcuts. For example, right-clicking on the desktop allows you to access Display settings and Personalize.
In Display settings (accessed via right-click on the desktop > Display settings), you can adjust the display resolution. On high-resolution monitors, the default resolution might make icons and text appear very small. Lowering the resolution can make everything larger and more accessible. However, it’s advised not to go below a resolution of 768 in the vertical dimension to avoid compatibility issues with some software. Also, be mindful of the aspect ratio when choosing a resolution to avoid black bars on the sides of your screen.
For further visual adjustments, you can change the text size in Windows 11. To do this, search for ‘text size’ in the settings app (Windows key + I, then type ‘text size’) and go to the Accessibility > Text size area. A slider allows you to increase or decrease the text size, with a preview of how it will look. Be cautious not to make the text too large, as it might not fit properly within some application interfaces.
Windows 11 Start Button Functionality
The Start button in Windows 11 is represented by a little Four Square window icon located on the taskbar. Unlike previous versions of Windows where the Start button was always on the far left, in Windows 11, the far left of the taskbar is occupied by the widget area, and the Start button is positioned to its right.
Clicking the Start button reveals several key areas:
Pinned Apps: This is the default view upon clicking the Start button, displaying a set of applications that have been set into this area for quick access. There can be multiple pages of pinned icons, indicated by little dots at the bottom, allowing you to navigate between these pages.
Recommended: Below the pinned apps, this section displays recent files and folders that you have opened. It also shows recently installed applications, making them easier to find. For example, if you installed the Chrome browser, its icon would likely appear under “recommended”.
All Apps: In the top right-hand corner of the Start Menu, there is a button that, when clicked, displays a full list of all installed applications and their icons. Some of these apps may be organized within folders, requiring you to click on the folder to see its contents.
Alphabetical Navigation: Within the “All Apps” list, you can quickly jump to different parts of the alphabet by clicking on any letter. The letters that have associated content are displayed in a highlighted or bold manner.
Pinning and Unpinning: You can customize the pinned apps area by right-clicking on any app in the “All Apps” list and selecting “Pin to Start“. Conversely, if an app is already pinned, right-clicking on it in the Start Menu will give you the option to “Unpin from Start“. Newly pinned items generally appear at the bottom of the pinned apps list.
The Start button also provides access to the power options. By clicking the Start button, you will find a little power icon, which, when clicked, presents options to “Shut down“, “Restart“, or “Sleep” your computer. The source recommends shutting down over using sleep to avoid potential issues with the system not fully awakening. Restarting your computer regularly (e.g., daily or at least weekly) is advised to maintain system stability by releasing memory and resources that programs may hold onto.
In summary, the Start button in Windows 11 serves as a central point for accessing installed applications, recent files, and system power options. It offers a customizable view of frequently used apps through the pinning feature and allows for easy navigation through the entire list of installed software.
Windows 11 Taskbar Customization Guide
The Windows 11 taskbar offers several ways to be customized. You can access these customizations by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting “Taskbar settings”.
Here are the key areas for taskbar customization discussed in the sources:
Pinning and Unpinning Apps: You can remove default icons from the taskbar that you don’t use by right-clicking on them and selecting “Unpin from taskbar“. Conversely, you can add applications to the taskbar for quick access by clicking on the Start button, finding the desired app in the pinned apps or the “All apps” list, right-clicking on it, and selecting “Pin to taskbar“.
Managing Hidden Icons (System Tray): On the right side of the taskbar, a small up arrow may be present. Clicking this arrow reveals a hidden area for icons of applications running in the background that don’t need constant visual presence. You can interact with these background apps by clicking on their icons in this hidden menu.
Taskbar Settings: The “Taskbar settings” menu provides various options to modify the taskbar’s appearance and behavior:
Search: You can choose to hide the search bar, show only the search icon, or display the full search bar. Even if hidden, the search functionality is still accessible by clicking the Start button and typing in the search bar at the top.
Co-pilot: There is an option to turn off the Co-pilot (preview) feature.
Widgets: You can turn off the widgets that appear on the left side of the taskbar if you are not interested in seeing information like weather updates.
Task View: The Task view button can be turned on or off. When enabled, clicking it shows a list of all currently open windows, allowing you to quickly switch between them.
Taskbar Alignment: You can change the alignment of the taskbar icons and the Start button. By default, they are centered, but you can choose to align them to the left, which is where the Start button was located in older versions of Windows.
Combine Taskbar Buttons and Hide Labels: This setting controls how multiple windows from the same application are displayed on the taskbar.
The default is to “Always, hide labels“, which means multiple instances of an application are grouped under a single icon with a visual cue (like a shadow) indicating multiple windows are open. Hovering over the icon shows previews of the open windows.
You can change this to “Never“, which will display a separate icon with its label for each open window. This takes up more space on the taskbar but allows you to see immediately which windows are open.
The “When taskbar is full” option will show individual icons and labels until the taskbar runs out of space, at which point it will start combining them.
In addition to these settings, you can also directly unpin an application from the taskbar by right-clicking on its icon and selecting “Unpin from taskbar”.
Windows 11 File Explorer Management
File Explorer in Windows 11 provides various tools and features for managing your files and folders. Here’s a discussion of File Explorer management based on the information in the sources:
Accessing File Explorer: While not explicitly stated how to open File Explorer, the source demonstrates its usage by navigating to “downloads”, opening different folders, and accessing the “documents” folder. It can generally be accessed via an icon on the taskbar or through the Start Menu.
Navigating the File System:
File Explorer displays a left-hand pane that shows the folder structure.
Folders can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the arrows next to them. A downward-pointing arrow indicates an expanded folder.
Clicking on a folder in the left-hand pane displays its contents in the main right-hand pane.
The vertical line separating the left and right panes can be dragged to adjust the width and make folder names more readable.
The source mentions a feature “expand to open folder” which, when enabled in the Folder Options (accessed via the hamburger menu -> Options -> View tab), is intended to automatically expand the folder you are currently in within the left-hand navigation pane, providing a constant visual of your current location in the file system. However, the source notes a potential bug where this might not always function as expected.
Viewing Files and Folders:
File Explorer offers different ways to view the files and folders within a selected location, accessible via the View tab in the ribbon. These include:
Extra large icons, Large icons, Small icons.
List view, which shows only the file names without additional details.
Details view, which displays the name, date modified, type, and size of the files and folders. This is the preferred view according to the source.
Sorting Files and Folders:
In Details view, you can sort the displayed items by clicking on any of the column headers (Name, Date modified, Type, Size). Clicking once sorts in ascending order, and clicking again reverses the sort order. This allows you to easily organize files by name, find the most recent files, group files by type, or order them by size.
Showing File Name Extensions:
By default, Windows may hide file name extensions (e.g., .exe, .jpg, .docx). The source strongly recommends showing file name extensions for better clarity about file types. This can be enabled by going to the View tab, clicking on Show, and selecting “File name extensions“. Once enabled, the full file name, including its extension, will be visible (e.g., “Firefox installer.exe”).
Organizing Files and Folders:
You can create new folders within any location in File Explorer. To do this, right-click in an empty area in the right-hand pane and select New > Folder. You can then type a name for the new folder. Alternatively, you can click on New in the upper left corner of the File Explorer window and choose Folder.
You can create a folder structure with main folders and subfolders to better organize your files. Files can be dragged and dropped into these folders from other locations within File Explorer.
Renaming and Deleting Files and Folders:
To rename a file or folder, you can right-click on it. In Windows 11, a context menu with icons will appear. The icon that looks like a file with a pencil is for Rename. Hovering over the icons will also show their function. In older versions of Windows, selecting “Show more options” in the right-click menu would display the classic menu with the full word “Rename”. After clicking the rename option, you can type the new name and press Enter. The source demonstrates renaming an icon on the desktop, and the same principle applies within File Explorer.
To delete a file or folder, you can right-click on it and select the delete icon (which looks like a trash can) from the context menu. Again, selecting “Show more options” might show the full word “Delete” in a classic menu. Deleted files and folders are moved to the Recycle Bin.
You can restore deleted items from the Recycle Bin by opening it (usually found in the top-left corner of the desktop by default), right-clicking on the desired item, and selecting “Restore“.
Cut, Copy, and Paste:
File Explorer supports the cut, copy, and paste operations for managing files and folders.
Cut (Ctrl+X or right-click and select the scissors icon or “Cut” under “Show more options”) removes the selected item from its current location and places it on the clipboard.
Copy (Ctrl+C or right-click and select the two overlapping rectangles icon or “Copy” under “Show more options”) duplicates the selected item and places the copy on the clipboard, while the original remains in its location.
Paste (Ctrl+V or right-click in the destination location and select the clipboard icon or “Paste” under “Show more options”) inserts the item from the clipboard into the current location.
The clipboard temporarily holds only the last item that was cut or copied.
These features within File Explorer enable you to effectively navigate, organize, and manage your files and folders in Windows 11.
Windows 11: Cut, Copy, and Paste Essentials
The concepts of cut, copy, and paste are fundamental for managing information within Windows 11, whether it be text, files, or folders. These actions allow you to move or duplicate data between different locations or applications.
How Cut, Copy, and Paste Work:
Cut: The cut operation (Ctrl+X or right-click and select the scissors icon or “Cut” under “Show more options”) removes the selected item from its original location and places it temporarily on the clipboard. Think of it like physically cutting something out.
Copy: The copy operation (Ctrl+C or right-click and select the two overlapping rectangles icon or “Copy” under “Show more options”) creates a duplicate of the selected item and places this copy on the clipboard, while the original item remains in its place.
Paste: The paste operation (Ctrl+V or right-click in the destination location and select the clipboard icon or “Paste” under “Show more options”) inserts the item currently stored on the clipboard into the new location.
The Clipboard:
The clipboard is a temporary storage area in your computer’s memory. When you cut or copy an item, it is stored in the clipboard. By default, the clipboard can hold only one item at a time. If you cut or copy something new, it replaces the previous content of the clipboard. When you paste, you are inserting the last item that was cut or copied.
Using Cut, Copy, and Paste with Text:
The source demonstrates these actions within Notepad, a basic text editor.
Select the text you want to cut or copy by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.
To cut: Right-click on the selected text and choose cut (or press Ctrl+X). The text will disappear from its original location and be placed on the clipboard.
To copy: Right-click on the selected text and choose copy (or press Ctrl+C). The text will remain in its original location, and a copy will be placed on the clipboard.
To paste: Position your cursor where you want the text to appear, right-click, and choose paste (or press Ctrl+V). The text from the clipboard will be inserted at the cursor’s location.
Using Cut, Copy, and Paste with Files and Folders:
You can also use these operations to manage files and folders within File Explorer, as discussed in our previous turn.
Select the file or folder you want to cut or copy.
To cut: Right-click on the selected file or folder and choose the scissors icon (or select “Cut” under “Show more options”). The item will be removed from its current location.
To copy: Right-click on the selected file or folder and choose the two overlapping rectangles icon (or select “Copy” under “Show more options”). The original item will remain.
Navigate to the destination folder where you want to move or duplicate the item.
To paste: Right-click in an empty area within the destination folder and choose the clipboard icon (or select “Paste” under “Show more options”). The cut or copied item will now appear in the destination.
The source emphasizes that the concept of cut, copy, and paste is a fundamental skill in Windows and is consistent across various applications, including text editors, file managers, and even within applications like Microsoft Excel for manipulating cells in a spreadsheet. You can use either the right-click menus or the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) to perform these actions.
✔️ How to Use Windows 11 – Basics Tutorial for Beginners – Computer Guide for Dummies
The Original Text
welcome to Windows 11 the first thing you need to do is get oriented so what are you looking at here this bar along the bottom is called the taskbar and on the taskar there are a variety of elements uh the most important of which is this icon right here the little uh Four Square window icon and that is your start button so start button on all other versions of Windows prior to Windows 11 was always on the far left right now the far left is taken up by this little widget area all right but start button right here now when you click on your start button you get a view of a bunch of pinned apps which means uh just things that have been set into the uh default start area here right in front of you when you click on the button and if you’ll notice these two little dots there’s a couple of pages of pinned icons right so you can move between those pages by clicking on the dots or clicking on the little arrow to go to the next one so if you have a lot of pinned items you might have five pages right that kind of thing underneath recommended you’re going to see uh recent files and folders that you’ve opened right this is a new installation here so nothing’s been opened uh there’s just the get started welcome to Windows thing but uh recent files and folders and if you’ve recently installed something uh generally the icon will show up here so if you installed the Chrome browser for example you would see the Chrome uh browser icon under recommended that makes it easier to find uh you know what you’ve recently taken action on all right now if you want to see all your apps you have to go to this little button right here in the top right hand corner and when you click there you get the full list of installed apps and all their little icons now some of them like here for example you have little yellow folder symbol uh it you actually have to click on the folder and then you get uh the full set of icons in that folder right so a lot of them aren’t in folders uh but some of them are right and uh things that you should know about these little icons are that if you’re trying to search for something that’s you know way down in a further letter you don’t want to scroll scroll scroll right you can uh click on any of the letters you know here we click on G for example and it’ll show you a highlighted map of which letters have uh content right so anything in the Bold like our for example here brings us back to that folder that uh we looked at earlier uh so again any letter and you can jump anywhere in the alphabet and you know get more quickly to what you want to see the other thing is that if you have something that you uh like to run into or open up a lot uh you can right click on it and say pin to start or if it’s already in start uh unpin from start so what that means of course is that when we click on start here that was paint right so here we already have uh the paint icon but if it was out say if I unpin it here and then I go back into all apps and then click on any letter go to P there’s our paint rightclick I can pin to start and then it will show back up but generally at the bottom yeah it it’ll become the last item all right so that’s a quick view of this area for getting into programs and you just click once on any of these icons to open that actual program or app they call the maps these days uh which is different from the desktop over here if you wanted to open Firefox Firefox from the desktop you’d have to double click so double click on it from the desktop single click from start and single click when you’re looking at uh clicking on an icon in the taskbar right A lot of people get confused about that and say they’ll click twice here on Microsoft Edge and actually open two copies of it right so because they’re used to you know in older versions of Windows almost everything was double clicked open right so a lot of things now are single click so try and keep that in mind uh and that’s almost certainly what’s happening if you open two things at once when you meant to open one you’re double clicking when you should have single clicked now also in your start button is your power button so uh that’s pretty critical to know a lot of people can’t figure out immediately how to shut down their system right so when you’re done with Windows for the day you can click on the start button click on this little power icon and then click shut down I recommend shutting down over sleep uh you know generally speaking because Microsoft has never seemed to get sleep right in terms of uh you know I do it stuff right so I often have people call me up and say this isn’t working that’s not working and what’s happened is their computer’s gone to sleep but when it’s uh awakened not all of it has awakened so their say their network card didn’t wake up properly and now they can’t get online until they restart their computer computer and everything gets refreshed so and that’s another thing that you should know okay so you’ve got your little power button you know aside from shutting down restarting is often uh something that you should do particularly if you if you like to leave your computer on all the time which is something that I tend to do myself uh but you shouldn’t let a computer run say for 30 days without restarting it because what happens is programs take up pits of memory and resources and they don’t always release them and then your computer has less and less and less to work with and it’s kind of like uh you know going crazy you your your mind is getting smaller and smaller until the system starts acting really weird and uh the cure for that so often just restart your computer so I tend to restart mine at least once a day just you know as I’m leaving for lunch or something just hit the restart and then so by the time I come back it’s all up and ready to go again of course uh you don’t have to every single day I’m not saying that it’s a hard and fast rule if you’ve got a lot of things open and you you know restarting would interrupt your workflow you know let it ride but don’t let it go for more than a week uh if you want uh to keep things stable all right so that is the start button um these other icons on the taskbar here are the default ones at least for my uh region here and you can you can change these and clean these up right so for example I don’t use the Microsoft store uh very often so I would rightclick and say unpin from taskbar right and uh I don’t use Microsoft teams much so I would right click and say unpin from taskbar but if we wanted to put something on the taskbar we could click on start and see a lot of people like uh to play solitire and that would be something they’d want down there so we could rightclick and we can say pin to taskar so so just as you can pin things into the start area you can pin and unpin things from the taskbar itself so uh moving on down the line into the right hand side of the taskbar uh first thing we come across is this little up Arrow here if you click on that and you may not have one depending on how many icons you have at play but uh what this is is like an area where they hide icons that are just for things that are just running in the background that don’t necessarily always need to be visually in front of you but need to be available so for example this here is Windows security which is the built-in antivirus for Microsoft Windows so I can click on that little up arrow click on that icon and then it brings me my security add glance here right so I can expand that and uh when you have these little triangles with the exclamation point here it’s it’s giving you uh hints warnings advice that kind of thing so uh you know you can read the notices and see whether you want to act on that right I won’t go into all of the details of the security right now but what I would say is generally speaking you don’t really need to buy something like Norton Antivirus or maffy or what have you uh you know they do have the built-in Antivirus for Windows and generally speaking it it’s pretty good it’s not the best out there but uh in some ways it is just because uh you know say for example maafi is just going to keep trying to sell you more and more and more security it’s like uh you know if You’ got a a club and you need a bouncer at the door you know one bouncer is going to generally be fine right you don’t need seven bouncers they’re just going to block the door and slow things down and maybe scare away customers right so uh if that analogy works for you I don’t know but it’s kind of how I feel about you know third party companies coming in and and trying to oversell security to you right so now things that aren’t in this little hidden menu are the more visible icons that we see to the left of the uh time and here so uh one of these is Microsoft One Drive which is uh kind of like a cloud offering for sharing files and between your different systems so say if you have a laptop and you have a desktop and you have your one Drive account so you can use one drive to synchronize your documents and pictures and music and stuff between those two computers so there’s there there’s uh everything’s going to be save to the cloud and then whenever you change something it gets updated in the cloud and when you whenever you go to the other computer and turn it on it’s going to download all the changes so so that if you’re working on a book for example on your desktop you know you’ve gotten up to chapter 3 you go over to your laptop you turn it on it synchronizes you’ve got chapter 3 on your laptop without having to run around with you know a USB stick or a CD or whatever so uh you know that that’s that thing and here is our little language area so you know I’m in Canada uh the default language for PCs is the US and so I have those two languages you may have more but uh this is how You’ switch uh with your mes between languages right and then we have our little Network icon which tells us uh you know whether we’re online or offline or whatever this is a wired network uh you may have a wireless bit there but when you when you click on that you see how these two both these icons get highlighted when I click so the next one over is volume right uh so whether I click on volume or network I get this little uh area here that pops up and you know I can I can change my um volume by using this slider here and then uh you know depending on uh what kind of network you’re on if it if there if this was a Wi-Fi network for example it might have airplane mode you know or this kind of thing going on and you can change other things here like accessibility settings and you know whether you want your screen to uh I think it could cut back on Blue Light the Night Light thing right uh so that uh it doesn’t interfere with your sleep as things go later in the day you can change the way the light comes off your monitor and and make things healthier for you that kind of thing so so this is it’s kind of like another widget area you know uh but more technical than the one on the left hand side here and of course here we have our time and date and right next to that we have a little notification area that little bell here right now uh do not disturb is on um but you know if if that was on we might see a few notifications from Windows about things that have been happen happening recently Etc and notifications do pop up just like this in the lower right hand corner so if the system has something to say to you generally speaking uh something will pop up in the lower right but be careful because uh people can also get uh notifications from websites and other third parties uh generally through uh giving them permission when you’re using your browser and uh those third part parties often try to imitate your system and you know for example pretend that you’ve got a virus and that you have to take action right away and basically I’m saying be wary of scams and stuff right so so be careful uh what you click on and what you react to and you know I guess generally speaking the way scams tend to work is that uh they they give such a sense of urgency like you have to act now without thinking right and usually your system won’t treat you quite that roughly so so that’s one way to kind of tell the difference between the two so uh you know that’s a quick overview of the taskbar above the taskbar is what we just generally call the desktop right and uh this is the picture here is your desktop wallpaper right which can be changed and then of course you have all your icons on your desktop for uh different software and utilties and stuff and this whole list can change and if you’ve been working on your computer for a while it basically fill up your whole screen with these kinds of things so you get files and folders and and icons to programs and stuff so uh now if you want to do some uh tweaking of your taskbar you can right click on it and click on taskbar settings all right and the first area here let’s expand this can maximize it with that middle button so so we can quickly go over that so every window in Windows generally speaking uh there there’s going to be a few exceptions where you only see the X right but uh you’re going to have the X here which will close the window you’re going to have this icon which you can use to maximize or restore right and then you see if you hover over it you get these uh little options so if I wanted to put it on the right hand side of the screen we can do that right or um if uh you know we wanted top right corner like so all right and uh but if you just click on it once you’re going to get the maximize right which is what we were after in the first place and the one here this is just minimize so if you click on the little dashed line there it’ll shrink down just to the tab bar and you see that it has this little dott under it showing that it’s it’s running right it’s it’s open but not visible so we can click back on that to uh restore it to whatever size it was before it was minimized so anyway this is the settings for the taskbar and you can actually turn things off like so if you don’t use your search you can turn that off you can say you know hide search and it’ll disappear or if you don’t want it to be so big you can put search icon only and then you you’d have to click on the icon before you put in any search um one thing I would just tell you is that if you hide it uh you save all that space and you still have that search functionality if you click on start and you click up on the the search bar at the top you’re going to get the the same kind of uh functionality right so not necessarily necessary but uh you know we’ll put it back to the default so that things look familiar now co-pilot is is something that’s in preview uh I would just turn that off for the moment um myself because um you know I I generally don’t like to play with things that are in beta mode right um and we have other things that we can turn off like we could turn off the widgets in the left if you’re not interested in and seeing the weather and the you know currency conversion rates and stuff showing up on your computer Compu all the time and uh also there’s this little um task view button here that we can turn on and off and I’ll show you what that is so save right now we have the taskbar settings open and if I open say file explorer here now we have two different windows open if I click on task view then it shows me a list of all the windows that are open so if I had 12 things open I’d have 12 little squares here and then you can you see the little preview and then you can quickly switch between them right so I’ve pulled up my file explorer if I go back to task view here and click on settings then I bring settings to the front right so uh we’ll close file explorer here for the moment so so if you use that you could leave it on again if you don’t save a bit of room and turn it off all right and uh another thing that a lot of people really appreciate because they’re used to older versions of Windows is you know uh hide your widgets right and then come down to the bottom here where it says taskbar behaviors right and click the little arrow pointing down there and then it has taskar alignment and you can choose to place the start button back on the left where your brain expects it to be right and another thing that I would say is very useful here where it says combine taskbar buttons and hide labels right so generally by default it’s on to always do that and and what that means is that say here again if we open File Explorer I can open another File Explorer by uh right clicking and clicking on file explorer again and then I say I can do that a third time and you see we still only have the one icon although it has that little uh shadow of or visible edge of something behind it to show that there are some stacked and if you want to move between the three uh windows that you have open if you hover over that icon you see the three different uh panels that you you can just choose between them now so if you know let’s go to the desktop here and this one was on let’s go to music here and let let’s put this one to pictures right so we’re in these three different folders now if we go if we go back to our settings and we switch this to uh never for example now instead of that layered File Explorer icon which visually doesn’t give you a lot of information now it actually shows me that I’m in pictures music and desktop takes a bit more room on your taskbar but you can actually see immediately what it is and then you can just go up I want to go back to my desktop I want to go back to my pictures I want to go back to my music so that’s why I would say uh you know if you follow my personal preference either choose never or uh when taskbar is full which would mean that it’ll it’ll show you the bigger bits until you fill up the taskbar and then it’ll start layering things all right so um you know your choice I’m going to stick it back on the default uh for the the moment but uh you know if it was my system I would put put it on never right let’s close these guys off now so that’s an overview of the the uh basic visuals right now if we wanted to delete an icon or rename an icon on the desktop we would rightclick and we get this menu here and this is different than earlier versions of Windows where say uh if we had uh right clicked well actually what we would see I can show you what we would normally see if I click on show more options now I’m going to get that classic uh rightclick menu uh where I have you know rename for example is spelled out for us right but now in Windows 11 if I rightclick I get this little icon for renaming right so a lot of the basic most common functions the the the the full typed name has been replaced by these little things so here’s if you hover over it shows you what it is here’s cut right copy rename share and delete right so if I wanted to just take the x64 off of Reaper here I could delete that and hit enter it wants admin permission I’m going to say go ahead and continue so I’ve renamed that icon I can also right click cck and delete it right and then a handy thing to know is that if you delete something it’s going to go into your recycle bin right so we open up the recycle bin which by default is going to be tucked away here in the top leftand corner of your desktop we can find the file in the recycle bin right click on it and click on restore it wants to confirm that we click on continue and and there it is back on our desktop now one of the most common things that you’re going to want to do on your windows 11 PC is Jump onto the internet and to do so in the normal case you’re going to use Microsoft Edge which we have down here on the taskbar you can install Firefox or Chrome or any other browser but uh you know if you’re new to Windows you probably haven’t done that and you’re going to need to start with Microsoft Edge now the warning is is that the first time that you open Microsoft Edge Microsoft is going to hit you with a number of questions and offers and it’s going to be quite confusing just to get to the point where you’re actually online and can do something so let me walk you through that process here so we’re going to click on edge and this is the first time it’s sprun so you know welcome to Microsoft Edge and it’s going to ask you if you want to sign in to sync data right so syncing data is a kind of an advanced thing where if you have a desktop and a laptop you work computer you can sign in with your the same Microsoft account and your your settings like your favorites and you know your your site history search history that kind of thing will be synchronized across the computer so so that your experience on each computer is uh standardized and very similar right but you know we’re beginners here so we’re going to say start without your data right now it’s going to ask you know you always want to have access to your recent browsing data right typically I like to say no to most of these offers so you know the less tracking that Microsoft does or that any third party does uh you know the less your computer has to do and the less there is to go wrong and the less other people know about every little thing that you’re doing of course so I’m going to say don’t allow and confirm and continue right and then here they’re offering to import data from elsewhere again you know let’s forego the data synchronization stuff say continue without this data and then uh Microsoft wants to track everything you do so that they can see you know how you work and how other people work and then based on that information ostensibly you know make their offerings more useful and targeted to their customers again let’s reduce the complexity and the flow of data going to say don’t allow and say confirm and start browsing so you think that means start browsing but not quite yet right so here we have uh they’re offering different themes right so you know there’s different colors Etc if you’re into having you know public G browser or whatever go ahead and click on one of those but um basically I would just click finish here now we’re actually on the web all right so the the default uh homepage is uh the Microsoft Bing uh homepage right uh here they’re asking questions you can close these little popups in the right hand bottom right hand corner can be quite annoying anyway so here we go we’re online if you want to go to a particular website like for example if you want uh instead of searching the web with Bing if you want to go to Google you can click in the address bar at the top here and type in google.com or whichever oneca whichever you use and you get to that site they have their own offerings right so we can say stay signed out right there’s there’s different tabs right so here’s here’s another tab uh which is just a welcome to Microsoft Edge tab that automatically opened right we can close that by hitting the little X but if we wanted to open our own extra tab there’s there’s a little plus sign right here we can open that up and we have a whole new page so say if I went to Google on both tabs and here on this tab you know we can search for pigs and on this tab we can search for ducks all right you don’t stay signed out there ah sport Ducks I was thinking the animal but there you go so then you can move between the two tabs you can even reorder the tabs you know drag one over and and put them in order so in this way uh if you’re doing a bit of research on something and you know for example you’re looking at real estate you can open several tabs and and kind of keep track of the properties you’re interested in ETC so uh one thing also to know is that you know instead of doing a search and going through the whole trying to find a page once you open a new tab uh when you are on a tab say if we’re looking at uh the links here and you say okay well the Wikipedia article would be interesting you can right click and say open link in new tab and it’ll open in a new tab right next to the one that you’re on right and then you can keep going down and go oh National Geographic Kids has something right right click opening a new tab so now we have you know these two articles on pigs that we can refer to and of course you can you can just keep going and have a whole bunch of tabs open and uh you know be able to move freely between them all right and uh the other thing to know about Edge that would be most significant I would say is that this these three little dots here is the menu for all kinds of things right and that’s standard on Windows these days and even on the web you’ll probably have noticed that these little uh uh three dot I think they call them hamburger menus but anyway uh those are the menus that get you into all the extra functionality right so for example if we click on those dots and we click on settings we get a whole area here where we can tweak things so for example Edge has this sidebar here which uh you may just find distracting as a beginner so you could click on sidebar here and just say uncheck always show sidebar right and then voila it disappears right and say if we want to go to a particular setting we can say type in Search and it will give us the different elements that are relevant to search right and if we look for our default say address bar and search right down here near the bottom if we click on that we can say which search engines we want to use by default when we search from the address bar so right now of course on a Microsoft system it’s Microsoft Bing but we could switch that to Google right and now if we go and we just go to the address bar and we type in save horses we get a Google result right so it’s a quick way to uh enable your favorite default search engine speaking of settings if you want to jump into the settings area for Windows 11 itself right click on the start button and then click on settings right we can maximize that right we have all these different categories where we can jump in and tweak things right so for example Windows update if you click on that you can click on check for updates and windows will you know reach out to Microsoft and see what updates for Windows there happen to be uh there’s some Advanced options for that if we clicked on that uh we can click on this is usually off by default I tend to turn it on receive updates for other Microsoft products like Microsoft Office or whatever and uh also I like to be notified whenever restart is required that’s usually off I turn that on all right and uh and here’s an interesting area so uh you know if you noticed when we were on just the plain Windows update thing just says you’re up to date right but if when we go into advanced options we go down to optional updates there’s two available all right so if we click on that we get these different categories driver updates and other updates under driver updates we have a display update for this system and other under other updates we have a Net Framework update right so if you find that your system is uh acting a little unstable or if you just like to know that everything is as up to date as it can be you can pop into this area select those updates and click download and install right and once you click on that it’ll bring you back to the main Windows update uh area and you’ll see that the updates are downloading now generally speaking when uh updates are running you can go ahead and do other things you know we could close this off and just do other things well updates are running and eventually you’ll get a notification in the bottom right saying that the computer would like to restart you don’t have to restart right away uh you know if you’re writing out something a letter an email or you know reviewing do something online uh you could wait but uh ultimately you’ll want to restart to finish the update uh you saw the screen go black there that’s because one of the updates was for the display and it’s not unusual for the display to uh jump around while the video uh display driver is being updated so now those updates are complete and we can look around at some of the other offerings here uh one you might want to jump into right away if you like things to look the way you like them to look is personalization right and here is where you can change background and colors and themes Etc so if we click on background you know we have the default Windows 11 swirly here is is uh what we’ve been looking at so far uh this is a relatively nice one uh I minimize this to show you what that looks like one of the reasons I like this one is that uh it’s it’s mostly dark and the icons on the desktop that show up with their names nice and cleanly against that darker background all right uh this one looks fairly interesting as well uh it looks like colorful potato chips to me anyway so um let’s just switch back to what we’ve been looking at so that’s with the picture background but you could also just choose a solid color for for example right so uh black is the default choice for that uh which would just give us uh a nice clean black screen with that high contrast uh for icons and stuff if I don’t have a picture this is the color I would prefer on my system right and uh other than that uh it’s a bit more advanced I won’t get into it right now but you can set up a slideshow or you can uh let Microsoft put things all over your desktop by choosing Windows Spotlight all right but we’ll go back and just put it back to picture and the other thing that you should know about when you have a picture as a background is you’ve got these fill options right uh how it’s going to I should say fit options the option chosen here is fill but uh if you’re going to fill the screen then there’s going to be no uh no edges visible like like if the aspect ratio is different than your monitor uh you know whichever side needs to stretch out to fill the screen is going to stretch out and then some of the image might be cropped up if you choose fit then the whole image will fit but then you might have uh you know black or other colored bars on either side or on the top and bottom because of the different aspect ratio for the image uh versus the Monitor uh then we have stretch which would uh just stretch the image to exactly fit your monitor uh but could distort it if the aspect ratio is off uh there’s also tile so say if you had a small square image of uh you know whatever a cookie and you had uh it could tile you know so many times across and so many times up and down you’d have so many cookies right and of course we have Center which is just put it in the center of your screen at its natural size so if it’s a tiny picture you would have a tiny picture in the center of the screen if it was a huge picture of uh like a dartboard and you know you might only see the bullseye on the dartboard all right and uh we have span which I’m not sure how that differs from the others but you could always click on it and find out if you’re playing with a picture of your own on the desktop and then we also have uh different themes now here we have what they call contrast themes right and these are for those who are visually impaired or just prefer things to be uh very Stark so you know if we if we click on one of these choose one of these here’s the samples here if we choose one of these from the drop-down say Aquatic and we choose apply then you get immediately a view of how that’s going to look uh on your system right and this desert is the next one here right there’s another option we have dusk we have night sky and of course we can switch it back to none all right so uh those are what we would call accessibility themes generally speaking and then under related settings here we have themes which is uh a of more uh usual themes not so high contrast and uh I won’t preview all of those but uh there’s a bunch on offer here and you can also click on browse themes to get an even larger list now that was the new windows 11 settings area if you’re used to the old windows settings area which is the control panel that is still available so you can click on the start button but and type in the word control and you’ll see the control panel come up as an offering if you click on that your control panel will pop up and we can maximize that I like to switch from category view to the small icon view right and then in here you can play with all kinds of things right so uh one thing that I like to do on every new system is click on Mouse right and then here under double click speed I pull that all the way to the left so that it’s slow because the issue there is that uh when it’s in the middle you have to click so fast to get you know this is where you can test your double clicking is open it close it right uh you have to click so fast that uh well some people simply can’t do it right so they’ll they’ll be clicking and clicking and trying to open something like on the desktop you have to double click on an icon to open a program and uh it just won’t it won’t work for them you know nine times out of 10 or whatever but if I pull that all the way to the left suddenly you know they can click click make a double click at that speed and it will work all right so fairly important U even if you don’t need it to be uh slower if you ever share your computer it’ll reduce frustration for somebody else I’m sure so uh the other bit in here is pointers uh for the mouse and you can see the size note the size of the little arrow here that I’ve been using the default size uh if we click on the drop down here I like to go down to Windows standard extra large right and then you see uh here a preview of what that’s going to give us and then this one that we’ve been using so it’s twice as big right so I can click apply and then now I have that nice large cursor or arrow and if we go to pointer options right uh we have the pointer speed that we can adjust um generally I don’t find that that needs adjusting but uh sometimes on certain systems with certain mice you know every time you move your mouse a little bit it seems to fly across the screen right if that’s happening to you you can pull that uh to the left generally I wouldn’t pull it all the way to the left because uh you know if we click apply here uh things start to go way too slow right um but uh you know adjust to your taste usually just one tick at a time uh until you fine-tune it uh the way that you want another uh nice option is to click on show location of pointer when I press the control key so uh basically that means that when you press the control key you’ll get this little blip these circles that’ll show you where your mouse is so if you have trouble finding your mouse sometimes on your screen just hit the control key and then you’ll see immediately where it has gone right um other things here I don’t tend to tweak but uh if you use the wheel on your mouse to scroll through things you can adjust how many lines it Scrolls at a time right if you find that it moves too fast you could lower that if you want it to move faster of course you could uh increase that number right and then we click okay and we have our new mouse cursor right and of course here in the uh control panel there’s all kinds of other useful options one is power options right so if we jump in there uh you know there’s generally different Power plans on your system that you can choose m’s on high performance uh at the moment if you want to tweak that or see what the settings actually are you can click on change plan settings and uh you know a typical setting here might be you know to turn off the display every 15 minutes and on high performance to never put the computer to sleep but if if you have a power saving mode it might be uh you know 20 minutes or whatever that it’s going to put the computer to sleep you don’t necessarily want that to happen if uh every time you step away you got to come back and log in and do the whole thing right so uh if you’re like me I like to have uh both of these at never and if if you know I want to save power or whatever I can put my computer to sleep and I can turn off my monitor right so you would hit save changes to save that and if you’re on a laptop you would you would see more options because there’s going to be a battery options versus um you know your plugged-in options and you can you can tweak each of those accordingly on on battery I would recommend uh having your computer go to sleep after a certain time just to conserve the battery and to keep the system from uh just running out of juice and and turning off suddenly uh without because it has no more power uh which is more dangerous and can corrupt your system all right and we can go up at the top here to the breadcrumb back to all control panel items and uh another feature I would point out to you uh right now is programs and features so if we click on that uh it’s going to show us a list of all the programs that are installed on the system now uh that that’s a bit deceptive it’s not all of them it’s all of the standard uh style programs uh that we would traditionally think of as a program uh that’s been set up on a on a system but now there’s a sort of a distinction between programs which are listed here in apps which are things that are uh just access differently by the computer and and you might see under here so for example photos here you know I could rightclick and uninstall photos here from you know the start area but photos is not listed here in in the in the program list right so say if you installed uh Norton Antivirus uh which by the way I don’t recommend Norton Antivirus so you know uh I would I would rather see you use uh something else but um as I mentioned earlier just use the Microsoft One the free one but uh that would be in this list right that’s not an app it’s actually you know full-fledged software so you may need to manage software from here and you may need to manage apps from the start menu all right and we go back to all control panel items uh other bits that would be useful to know devices and printers all right that actually brings you now into the standard settings and then you can see your printers and scanners list uh right now I don’t have any physical devices but we have the Microsoft print to PDF printer there and uh what else would be interesting here you can you know tweak your sound settings uh you can look at your system information right see what kind of computer you have what kind of processor Etc so you have access to that area quickly from here yeah and one more thing would be the date and time um often that’s wrong when you get a new computer and you’re sitting in front of it the time Zone’s wrong or the or the just the time your right time zone but the time is off by a few minutes so you can jump in here and click on change date and time you know tweak the date make sure the the years right right you know you can you can go month by month Etc here and then uh you know go into whichever uh area hour minute second right and you can use the up and down bits to to change the time or or minutes Etc and uh you can also type it in right so you can just type in the number right just cancel that because it’s correct on this system and also you can change your time zone right so um I often find that computers come set up for the wrong time zone so just choose your correct time zone from the drop- down list in fact you may want to do that first change your time zone because that if your if your time is off by you know 3 hours or whatever changing your time zone may just put it right where it needs to be uh otherwise if you’re if you’re messing with this first and then you change your time zone you’re going to have to go back and mess with this again if you know what I mean anyway we can click okay there and that’s a preview of the control panel now an important concept to understand in Windows is cut copy and paste now you can do that with text but you can also do that with files and and folders and other things so uh let me show you what I mean by that so we’re going to click on start and I’m going to type in note and so I can get notepad coming up right and uh notepad is basically a little text editor right very just text there’s no formatting or anything you can’t make things bold or Center them or whatever uh you would use wordpad for that um as a default little app on Windows but I just want to show you some things here so uh this is a sentence this is a note this is the oops and there we go okay so uh you can select things by clicking you hold down your mouse and draging right so I have selected this whole sentence now if I want to move that sentence I can rightclick and I can say cut all right and then I place my cursor wherever I want the sentence to now appear I rightclick and I choose paste so I cut it and I’ve pasted it so those words are are literally from pre-computer days when you would cut something out of a page and paste it onto another page if you’re moving paragraphs or sentences around right so uh now there’s also copy and paste right so if I select this sentence here right click and instead of choosing cut I choose copy then I can place my cursor where I want it right click and paste and now I get a copy of it right so the way that this works is that there’s there’s something called the clipboard there a little area of memory when you when you cut something it goes into the clipboard and it’s removed from where it initially was when you copy something it’s put into the clipboard but it stays where it originally was right so now it’s in the clipboard the clipboard uh unless you get a clipboard utility uh is is by default it’s just going to hold one item right so if I copy one thing and then I copy another the another thing is in the clipboard not the first thing right so so when I paste I’m only going to get the last thing that I cut or I copied right so uh keep that in mind right and uh that’s just with text right so we can close that off there and I can show you that this is also possible to do with files so if I go into downloads here I have a list of files I’m going to right click on name at the top and choose size all columns to fit so we can see all the full file names and essentially we can rightclick on a file and uh it’s a little bit different here in terms of uh the rightclick menu that comes up uh different than a notepad right so uh we have little icons for cut and copy as opposed to the words now on older versions of Windows if I click on show more options uh we had cut and copy as menu full menu items not tiny little icons uh but you know they’ve changed the default here so we’re going to rightclick and if I say cut for Chrome setup here and then if I go to my desktop on the left here so here’s my desktop if I right click and now the icon is paste right another little icon to look at you can click on that and you see that that file has been pasted into uh or onto the desktop all right so on the desktop I can right click and I can click on copy right and then say if I go to documents I can rightclick I can choose paste again and now I have a copy of chrome both on the desktop and in documents so you can do that with documents and folders as well uh and you know if you’re in like say Microsoft Excel doing a spreadsheet uh you can copy and paste or cut and paste uh cells in the in the spreadsheet right so the whole idea of cut copy and paste uh Works across all kinds of Vari of Windows and it’s an important skill to have now I’ve been right clicking to uh do the cutting copying and pasting but the default keys for uh those commands are it’s control X for cut so that means hold down your control key and you can you can just keep your finger on it right uh you keep your finger on it for 30 seconds if you like it’s not that’s the timing there isn’t critical the the the critical thing is well you have your finger on that then you tap the X like just like you would be you’re going to type in the letter X in in a letter just hold down the control key tap the X and then let go with the control key all right um so you don’t have to try and hit them both at the same time is what I’m I’m trying to say some people get that impression and and of course it doesn’t always work out and they end up hitting the X before the control and well that doesn’t work so well so hold down the control key tap the X let go of the control key that’s cut right so similar uh copy is contrl c for copy and then uh pasting is contrl V right so uh you know for example if I have now I’ve got my Chrome setup selected in documents I’m going to press controll X right and then if I go over to pictures here and I click on the right so that that’s the active window I go control+ V and then I get my Chrome setup has moved from documents to pictures right and then you know I can rightclick on that and one of the little icons is delete I can delete that and then I can also delete it from my desktop right so uh let’s have another look at the downloads here maximize this and just show you a few things about file explorer right so this is the default view here uh few things you should know is that uh if things aren’t fully readable on the left hand side this vertical line here is movable so if you hover over it in just the right spot you get this little Double Arrow you can click and you can drag to give yourself more or less room all right and then uh another thing is is that we have all of these uh files and it tells us under type what type of file it is right but um what I like to do is click on view View and then go to show and then choose or select file name extensions right and then uh instead of it just saying Firefox installer here now it says Firefox installer.exe right so that’s an executable file I don’t have to look over here to figure out what type of file it is I can see immediately by the extension and this works great for uh pictures so you’ve got a a bunch of pictures in your uh pictures folder and some of them are jpegs some of them are gifts you know some of them are pings so you got you know your jpg extension your GF and your PNG extension um you know a lot of times those things don’t matter but sometimes they really do right uh you know if you’re creating a web page and you want you know a certain kind of optimized image or whatever you know it’s important to know what the extension is so I like to turn that on another thing that I like to turn on uh is uh we go into the little hamburger menu here and we go to options right and click on The View tab if we scroll down to the bottom here I choose expand to open folder right so let me drag the by the way when you click on the title bar of of a window and drag you can move the window around all right so uh I’ve CHS an expand to open folder click okay right and then now when I’m in uh different folders it’s going to expand on the on this edge here on this left side here to show me that folder so right now I’m I’m on edge here if I double click on application to enter this folder it’s going to expand and show me that folder that I’m in so so you’ll always have a a direct visual view of where you are in the structure of your file system um on the leftand side it’ll follow your your movements on the right otherwise uh all of this would have just stayed you know tightly closed like this you’d be you know all the way down here but you wouldn’t have any view of where you were and uh it it’s often the case that when you’re when you’re in one folder then you’re um needing to see and interact with other folders so for example if I wanted to pull this file just up one level then I can see that level immediately here so uh that I find very useful and uh there’s different views here right so if you click on the little uh down arrow on the right there you know we’ve got our extra large icons all right your large icon view your small icon view all right and we got a list view which is just the file name and no no additional information right and then the one I tend to like is the details view here so that gives you the name the date modified the type and the size right and you can you can click on any of these headings to sort by that bit right so now I’ve got them sorted by size largest to smallest if I click again it’ll reverse the sort so it goes smallest to largest now I can sort by type so if you if you got various types of files in a folder and you know you’re looking specifically for a PDF it’ll put all the PDFs together and you’ll have uh you know fewer files to search through you can ignore all the non- PDFs right you can sort by date if you want to see uh what’s the most recent or what are the oldest files uh or or just looking for something in a particular date range makes it much easier to to find and then of course the uh the default sorting is by name and you can have that go um you know up the alphabet or down so another thing to know uh is that you know let let’s just stretch this out a little bit here further so on on the left here you see see this the structure and there’s the little arrows right so when the arrow is pointing down that means that that folder is expanded right if I click that down arrow it collapses the folder right if I want to expand say here the common files folder I click on that and then it shows me the files immediately uh or the folders I should say immediately um below uh there could be files but the files will never be listed on this side um this is just the folder structure right so and you can keep expanding right uh to get deeper and deeper into the folder structure uh so so that that’s how you kind of walk through it right and um another thing you should know is let’s go into documents here for example so you’ve got your documents folder you’re creating documents by default if you’re using Microsoft Word or something similar uh your documents are going to be saved in this folder right but uh you know once you get to a few hundred files uh it can get confusing just trying to find one or make sense of it all so uh the thing is to create your own folder structure right the the computer comes with a bunch of folders but you know you’re going to want to make your own so in that case we’re in documents make sure you’ve clicked on the right somewhere in the white space on the right hand side right right and then you can click on new up here in the upper left and choose folder right and then here you can say uh you know different categories right uh you know click again in the Whit space new folder right and then new folder right and then you can drag and drop your files into those folders um from from anywhere right if you have uh if you have this area expanded on the left hand side you can go into another folder and drag them from that folder into these ones right so and of course you can keep you can keep going and doing subfolders right uh and if you don’t want to click new there you can rightclick and say new folder right from in this area right and then you know right click new folder right and and so on so now we have right your uh documents repairs laundry and in this breadcrumb there’s there’s so many ways to move around here right so you you can click the little arrow between repairs and laundry and it’ll show you uh the other options right so we can click on kitchen there for example and uh now we’re in the other folder there are even some options for creating some file types when you right click so you can right click and say new text document right and then you could create a document you know relevant to your current uh folder topic right and uh even here we have similar choices in the upper left corner now I’m not sure why it’s not actually expanding here on the left the way it normally would let’s just try closing and reopening file explorer here we go into documents repairs oh it maximize it kitchen H for some reason this system is a little bit buggy yeah so I just paused recording and checked on why this might be happening and a recent update to Windows 11 has uh introduced this strange little bug so um I would I would still turn on expand to folders but it won’t necessarily always work until Microsoft fix it it uh where we should see ourselves right if we’re in documents repairs kitchen is uh you know under Drive C we got users right and uh you know under under users you’ve got different usernames depending on how your system is set up if you click on your start button you can see what your actual username is in this case someone else right so uh we click on that folder and then if we go into documents right and we’ve got repairs kitchen that’s what should have expanded right on the left hand side and for some reason won’t do it today but maybe tomorrow so I just mentioned a a little bit about right clicking so the thing about right clicking is that it’s context sensitive so it depends on what you’re clicking on uh will it depends what your menu you’re going to get right so for example if I right click on this file on the desktop you know I get these particular choices right if I right click on the taskbar I get these particular choices you know if I right click on the one drive icon here in uh the system tray you know I get a whole other uh bunch of options right for example I can quit one drive and uh right clicking which we’ve already done on the start button gives us a bunch of uh options quick access to Common tasks in Windows right so um just keep in mind that if you’re not sure what to do in Windows just try right clicking wherever you are so here I’ve right clicked on the desktop you know I could go into display settings or personalize and tweak things there um in fact let’s jump into display settings because I will show you something that uh will help a lot of you if you have a monitor uh high resolution monitor on a new computer uh the icons are going to seem uh very small con compared to you know older uh let’s call uh classic monitors right and uh that that might be too small for your comfort right so you can click on display resolution here and choose a different resolution now the higher the highest number it tends to be the uh recommended resolution for your monitor and usually that’s going to be your default right but uh if you choose some smaller numbers uh you may find that uh everything just looks uh you know that much bigger and more visually accessible for you so a couple of notes about that um don’t choose any numbers below uh 7 68 uh just because anything smaller than that uh a lot of software just won’t fit right so you’ll open up a window it’ll have a bunch of settings and everything there’ll be a save button at the bottom but because the window is taller than your 768 uh you can’t even see the save button you can’t click on it you don’t know it’s there and you’re stuck right so that would be the very lowest uh that you would want to go and um otherwise the other thing to look out for is the aspect ratio right so if you have a a very uh say a widescreen monitor um you you don’t want uh the number pairings that are more square right because then you’re going to have uh you know those black bars on the left and right hand side of your monitor uh where you know your your monitor is just not being used so um play around with the different settings and find one where the icon look a good size but the uh background of your desktop fits completely on the monitor all right um and other than that I think I can show you how to change the text size on your system which is also something that can help for visuals so to do that let’s start from scratch here we’re going to close that window there we’re going to right click then click on settings right click on the start button of course and then in the uh find a setting area here just type in the word text and you’ll see text size all right click on that it’ll bring you to the accessibility Tex size area and there’s a little slider here right this is a preview of how things are so this is the default a on this computer and we can pull that uh until things get uh very large right so um now a warning would be if you make them if you pull it all the way to the right uh you’ll find that on in some software the text is so big it no longer fits in the space allotted to it in the software so things are going to either overlap or or be cut off right so uh you want to find some nice median uh compromise so that you know you’ve got the bigger text but it’s not too big uh what that means for you on your system will differ so you can play around with it but you know you could start by just pulling this into the middle for example and hitting apply note the size of the options here on the left when I hit apply and see how much bigger they are right so uh for those of you with limited Vision uh or just don’t like squinting you have you have the option to play around with the size of your text let’s close that off and we’ll close off this video just if you have any questions comments Etc um put them in the comment section below

Romantic love is a driving force in the story, particularly the intense and passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Catherine describes their connection as spiritual, stating, “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same” [1]. However, societal pressures and Heathcliff’s social standing lead Catherine to marry Edgar Linton, a decision she later regrets. [1]
Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar stems from a desire for a comfortable life and a higher social position, highlighting the conflict between love and practicality. [2, 3] She admits to Nelly that she will be “the greatest woman of the neighbourhood” and “proud” of her wealthy husband. [2]
The consequences of this decision are far-reaching, leading to unhappiness, jealousy, and resentment. Heathcliff is consumed by a desire for revenge against those he believes wronged him, particularly Hindley Earnshaw and Edgar Linton. [4]
Heathcliff’s love for Catherine, though deep and unwavering, becomes twisted and destructive. He takes out his pain and anger on those around him, mistreating Isabella Linton, whom he marries out of spite, and abusing Hindley’s son, Hareton. [5, 6]
The sources also explore familial love, contrasting the tender and nurturing bond between Catherine and Edgar with the tumultuous and often abusive relationships within the Earnshaw family. [6, 7]
The death of Catherine is a pivotal event in the story, leaving behind a trail of devastation and grief. Heathcliff’s reaction to her death is particularly poignant, expressing both intense sorrow and a desire to join her in the afterlife. [8, 9] He replaces the contents of a locket around her neck with a lock of his own hair, symbolizing his enduring love and connection to her. [10]
The impact of loss is felt by other characters as well. Edgar is consumed by grief and dedicates himself to caring for his daughter, Cathy. [11, 12] He recognizes the pain of losing a loved one and wishes to protect Cathy from experiencing similar suffering. [12]
Loss also serves as a catalyst for reflection and change. Hindley’s downward spiral following the death of his wife demonstrates the destructive nature of grief when not processed healthily. [4, 13]
Conversely, Edgar’s devotion to Cathy and his acceptance of his impending death showcase the potential for growth and spiritual understanding in the face of loss. [14, 15]
The sources paint a complex picture of love and loss, exploring their intertwined nature and their profound impact on human lives. These emotions can drive individuals to acts of both great compassion and terrible cruelty, shaping their destinies and leaving lasting consequences for themselves and those around them.
The Path and Consequences of Heathcliff’s Revenge
Heathcliff’s desire for revenge is a driving force behind many of his actions in the sources. His motivations stem from a deep-seated resentment towards those who have wronged him, particularly Hindley Earnshaw and Edgar Linton.
Heathcliff’s childhood is marked by humiliation and mistreatment at the hands of Hindley. Hindley, jealous of Heathcliff’s favored status with their father, degrades him to the level of a servant, denies him education, and subjects him to physical abuse [1-3].
This early experience of injustice and cruelty fuels Heathcliff’s desire for retribution.
When Mr. Earnshaw dies, Hindley inherits Wuthering Heights and intensifies his mistreatment of Heathcliff, further fueling his desire for revenge [4, 5].
Heathcliff witnesses Catherine’s marriage to Edgar Linton as the ultimate betrayal, believing she chose social status over their deep connection [6].
This event solidifies his resolve to seek revenge against both Hindley, for his past actions, and Edgar, for “stealing” Catherine from him.
Upon his return to Wuthering Heights as a wealthy man, Heathcliff sets about systematically dismantling the lives of those he perceives as his enemies. He exploits Hindley’s gambling addiction, taking possession of Wuthering Heights and reducing him to a state of destitution and despair [7, 8].
Heathcliff’s revenge extends beyond Hindley to his son, Hareton. He deliberately deprives Hareton of education and fosters a sense of inferiority in him, mirroring the treatment he received from Hindley [9, 10].
Heathcliff manipulates Isabella Linton into marrying him, using her infatuation as a means to further his revenge against Edgar [11, 12]. He treats Isabella cruelly, subjecting her to emotional abuse and isolation, mirroring the pain he experienced after losing Catherine [13-15].
Heathcliff’s ultimate act of revenge is his orchestration of the marriage between his sickly son, Linton, and Edgar’s daughter, Cathy. This union allows him to gain control of Thrushcross Grange after the deaths of Edgar and Linton, fulfilling his desire to see his lineage inherit the property of his enemies [16].
Heathcliff’s pursuit of revenge ultimately consumes him, leaving a trail of broken lives and perpetuating a cycle of pain and suffering across generations. While the sources provide glimpses of his internal struggles and the depth of his love for Catherine, they ultimately portray him as a figure driven by a destructive thirst for retribution, highlighting the devastating consequences of unchecked anger and the corrupting nature of revenge.
A Discussion of Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is a complex and multifaceted novel exploring themes of love, revenge, class, and the destructive nature of societal pressures. The story unfolds on the wild and desolate Yorkshire moors, a setting that mirrors the intense and often turbulent emotions of the characters.
At the heart of the novel lies the passionate and tumultuous relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Their bond is presented as something primal and spiritual, transcending social boundaries. Catherine famously declares, “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.” [1]
Despite their deep connection, Catherine chooses to marry Edgar Linton, swayed by his wealth and social standing. This decision has devastating consequences, setting in motion a chain of events fueled by jealousy, resentment, and Heathcliff’s insatiable thirst for revenge. [1, 2]
Heathcliff’s quest for retribution is a central theme in the novel, as discussed previously. His actions are driven by the profound sense of injustice he experienced as a child at the hands of Hindley, and later by Catherine’s perceived betrayal.
The novel explores the destructive consequences of Heathcliff’s revenge on himself and those around him. He systematically destroys Hindley, usurping his property and reducing him to a shadow of his former self. [3]
He torments Isabella, whom he marries out of spite, subjecting her to a life of misery and isolation. [4]
His cruelty extends to Hareton Earnshaw, Hindley’s son, whom he deliberately deprives of education and treats with disdain. [5, 6]
The setting of Wuthering Heights plays a significant role in shaping the atmosphere and reflecting the characters’ psychological states. The wild and unforgiving moors, subject to harsh weather and a sense of isolation, mirror the untamed passions and emotional turmoil experienced by the characters, particularly Heathcliff. [7-9]
The novel contrasts the two main households: Wuthering Heights, representing darkness, passion, and wildness; and Thrushcross Grange, representing civility, refinement, and social order. These settings reflect the conflicting values and desires that drive the characters’ choices and actions. [8, 10-14]
Wuthering Heights is a multi-generational story, tracing the consequences of past actions on future generations. The cycle of abuse and revenge initiated by Hindley and perpetuated by Heathcliff casts a long shadow, affecting the lives of their children and ultimately culminating in a glimmer of hope for redemption through the budding relationship between Cathy and Hareton. [15, 16]
Social class and its impact on individual destinies are prominent themes in the novel. Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar is heavily influenced by societal expectations and the desire for upward mobility. Heathcliff’s status as an outsider, shrouded in mystery about his origins, contributes to his marginalization and fuels his resentment. [1, 2, 17]
The novel provides insight into the complexities of human nature, showcasing the capacity for both great love and profound cruelty. Heathcliff embodies this duality, capable of passionate devotion to Catherine while simultaneously inflicting pain and suffering on those around him. [1, 4, 18]
Wuthering Heights is a powerful and enduring work of literature that continues to resonate with readers due to its exploration of universal themes, complex characters, and evocative setting. The novel raises questions about the nature of love, the corrosive effects of revenge, and the enduring impact of societal pressures on individual lives.
Catherine’s Choice: Love vs. Society
Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar Linton is a pivotal point in the sources, setting off a chain reaction of devastating events. While deeply in love with Heathcliff, she ultimately chooses Edgar, driven by a complex interplay of societal pressures, ambition, and a desire for security.
Catherine’s love for Heathcliff is presented as intense and all-consuming. She describes their souls as being the same and feels their connection deeply [1]. However, Heathcliff’s lack of social standing and his rough demeanor pose a significant obstacle to their union.
Catherine acknowledges the societal implications of choosing Heathcliff, recognizing that marrying him would lead to a life of poverty and social ostracism [2]. She voices her aspirations for a more comfortable life, stating that with Edgar she will be “the greatest woman of the neighbourhood” [2].
Her desire for social elevation and the material comforts it brings ultimately outweighs her passionate love for Heathcliff.
Catherine attempts to rationalize her decision by suggesting that she can help elevate Heathcliff’s position by marrying Edgar [3]. She naively believes that their bond will remain strong and that she can somehow bridge the gap between their vastly different social circles.
However, this plan backfires spectacularly. Heathcliff feels betrayed and deeply wounded by her decision, interpreting it as a rejection of their love in favor of social advancement. This perceived betrayal fuels his desire for revenge and sets him on a destructive path.
The consequences of Catherine’s choice are far-reaching and tragic. Her marriage to Edgar, while providing her with material security and social standing, leaves her emotionally unfulfilled. She struggles to reconcile her love for Heathcliff with her commitment to Edgar, leading to inner turmoil and unhappiness.
Catherine’s decision also has a profound impact on Heathcliff. Consumed by a sense of betrayal and loss, he embarks on a vengeful campaign against those he blames for his misery, ultimately destroying the lives of several characters, including Hindley, Isabella, and even his own son, Linton.
The sources portray Catherine’s choice as a product of her time, highlighting the powerful influence of societal expectations and the limitations placed upon women in her social class. Despite her strong will and independent spirit, she succumbs to the pressures of convention, sacrificing her true love for a life of social acceptance and material comfort.
Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar is a complex and ultimately tragic one. It underscores the tension between individual desires and societal constraints, the allure of ambition, and the often-devastating consequences of choosing practicality over love. Her choice serves as a catalyst for the novel’s central conflicts, fueling the cycle of revenge and highlighting the destructive power of societal pressures on individual lives.
The Tragic Fate of Linton Heathcliff
Linton Heathcliff, the son of Heathcliff and Isabella Linton, suffers a life marked by illness, manipulation, and an early death. The sources depict him as a weak and sickly child, used as a pawn in his father’s vengeful schemes.
From his birth, Linton is described as a “peevish” and ailing child [1]. His frail health continues throughout his life, making him susceptible to manipulation and control.
Heathcliff shows little genuine affection for his son, seeing him primarily as a tool to inherit Thrushcross Grange [2]. He even expresses a desire to replace Linton with Hareton, whom he views as stronger and more worthy [3].
After Isabella escapes from Wuthering Heights, Linton remains with his mother until her death thirteen years later [1, 4]. Upon her passing, Heathcliff reclaims his son, bringing him to live at Wuthering Heights.
Heathcliff’s treatment of Linton is harsh and uncaring. He mocks his son’s weakness and forces him to participate in his plan to secure Cathy’s inheritance [5, 6].
Linton is compelled to court and marry Cathy, Edgar Linton’s daughter. This union, orchestrated by Heathcliff, is devoid of love and serves solely to ensure his control over both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange [2].
Linton’s physical and emotional state deteriorates rapidly under the strain of his father’s manipulations and the forced marriage to Cathy [7, 8]. He is constantly fearful of Heathcliff’s anger and becomes increasingly withdrawn and apathetic [8-10].
Despite his initial dislike for Linton, Cathy shows compassion for her sickly cousin, recognizing his vulnerability and the manipulative control exerted by his father [11-13].
However, Linton dies shortly after his marriage to Cathy, fulfilling Heathcliff’s scheme to inherit Thrushcross Grange [14, 15]. His death is met with indifference by Heathcliff, who views him as an obstacle removed from his path [16].
Linton’s tragic fate highlights the destructive effects of Heathcliff’s revenge. He is denied a loving upbringing, treated with contempt by his father, and ultimately sacrificed to fulfill Heathcliff’s desire for control. Linton’s short life is a testament to the devastating consequences of a vengeful heart and the innocent victims caught in its wake.

Heathcliff’s Reaction to Catherine’s Death
Heathcliff’s reaction to Catherine’s death is complex and multifaceted, marked by intense grief, rage, denial, and a haunting desire to reunite with her.
Initial Reaction: Upon hearing the news from Nelly Dean, Heathcliff’s immediate response is a mix of denial and anger. He tells Nelly to “[p]ut [her] handkerchief away—don’t snivel before me. Damn you all! she wants none of your tears!” [1] This outburst suggests an attempt to suppress his own overwhelming grief by lashing out at others.
Seeking Confirmation and Details: Despite his harsh words, Heathcliff desperately seeks confirmation and details of Catherine’s death. He demands Nelly to “[g]ive [him] a true history of the event. How did—?” [2] He struggles to pronounce Catherine’s name, revealing the depth of his emotional turmoil. His need to know the specifics of her passing reflects a desperate attempt to grasp the reality of her loss.
Visiting Catherine’s Corpse: Driven by his grief and longing, Heathcliff secretly visits Catherine’s coffin before her funeral. He spends his nights outside Thrushcross Grange, “equally a stranger to repose,” waiting for an opportunity to see her one last time.

Years of Grief and Torment: Catherine’s death has a profound and lasting impact on Heathcliff. He becomes consumed by grief and rage, seeking solace in tormenting those around him, including his own son and Hindley’s son. [4] He even expresses a desire for Hindley to die, stating, “I hope he will not die before I do!” [5] His actions suggest a desire to inflict pain on others as a reflection of his own suffering.
Haunted by Catherine’s Memory: Even years later, Heathcliff remains haunted by Catherine’s memory. He sees her in others, particularly in his son, Linton, causing him both pain and a strange sense of possessiveness. [6, 7] He expresses a desire to have his son inherit Thrushcross Grange, not out of love, but as a means of revenge against Edgar Linton and a twisted way of fulfilling his own thwarted desires for Catherine. [8]
Longing for Reunion: In his final days, Heathcliff’s desire for revenge wanes, and his longing for Catherine intensifies. He becomes increasingly withdrawn, spending time on the moors, close to Catherine’s grave. [9] His death is shrouded in mystery, with some suggesting he willfully starved himself, seeking to reunite with Catherine in death. [10, 11]
Heathcliff’s reaction to Catherine’s death is a testament to the power of their love, albeit a love intertwined with possessiveness, obsession, and ultimately, self-destruction. He remains a complex and tragic figure, forever bound to the memory of his lost love.
The Meaning of “Wuthering” in Wuthering Heights
The word “wuthering” is a provincial adjective used to describe the turbulent and stormy weather that the house, Wuthering Heights, is exposed to. [1]
The specific passage states that “‘Wuthering’ being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather.” [1]
This suggests that the word “wuthering” captures the wild, intense, and almost violent nature of the environment surrounding the house.
The exposed location on the bleak hilltop, with stunted firs and “gaunt thorns…stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun,” further emphasizes the harsh conditions. [1]
The choice of the word “Wuthering” for the title of the novel is significant. It not only describes the physical setting but also foreshadows the tumultuous and passionate nature of the relationships among the characters. The novel is filled with love, hate, revenge, and intense emotions, all of which mirror the wild and unpredictable weather of the moors.
Significance of the Name “Wuthering Heights”
The name “Wuthering Heights” holds a deep significance within Emily Brontë’s novel, reflecting both the physical environment and the turbulent nature of the characters and their relationships.
Meaning of “Wuthering”: “Wuthering” is described as a “significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather” [1]. This immediately establishes a connection between the name and the wild, intense, and almost violent weather conditions that characterize the Yorkshire moors where the house stands.
Physical Landscape: The description of Wuthering Heights emphasizes its exposed and bleak location. There are “a few stunted firs at the end of the house” and “gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun” [1]. These details paint a picture of a harsh and unforgiving environment, constantly battered by strong winds and storms.
Symbolic Connection: The word “wuthering” extends beyond a mere description of the weather. It becomes a symbol for the passionate and tumultuous lives of the characters. Just as the house is exposed to the harsh elements, the inhabitants are subject to intense emotions, wild impulses, and destructive passions.
Mirroring the Characters: The turbulent and destructive relationships between Heathcliff, Catherine Earnshaw, Hindley, and other characters are reflected in the stormy and unpredictable nature of the moors, creating a powerful link between the setting and the unfolding drama. The novel’s plot is full of love, hate, revenge, and deep-seated resentment, all of which echo the intensity of “wuthering” weather.
Foreboding Atmosphere: The name “Wuthering Heights” also creates a sense of foreboding and mystery. The word “wuthering” evokes a feeling of unease and suggests that darkness and turmoil lie ahead. This effectively sets the tone for the novel’s gothic and tragic elements.
In essence, the name “Wuthering Heights” serves as a powerful metaphor. It represents not just a physical location but also the inner turmoil and the wild, untamed spirit that permeates the story and its characters.
Relationships between Heathcliff, Catherine Earnshaw, and Edgar Linton
The relationships between Heathcliff, Catherine Earnshaw, and Edgar Linton form the core of Wuthering Heights, driving the plot and shaping the destinies of all those involved.
Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw: A Passionate and Destructive Bond
A Deep and Wild Connection: Heathcliff and Catherine share a bond that transcends conventional love. They are kindred spirits, connected on a primal and almost spiritual level. Catherine famously declares, “Nelly, I AM Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.” [1] Their shared childhood on the wild moors, their rebellious natures, and their fierce independence forge a powerful connection between them.
Love and Conflict: Their relationship is intensely passionate but also marked by conflict. They tease, challenge, and provoke each other, often engaging in heated arguments. Catherine recognizes Heathcliff’s dark side, describing him as “an unreclaimed creature, without refinement, without cultivation; an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone.” [2] Yet, she is drawn to his intensity and feels a sense of completeness with him that she lacks with Edgar.
Social Divide: Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar Linton stems partly from a desire for social elevation and a belief that it will ultimately benefit Heathcliff. However, this choice creates a deep rift between them, leading to Heathcliff’s disappearance and his eventual return fueled by a thirst for revenge.
Catherine’s Death and Heathcliff’s Grief: Catherine’s death devastates Heathcliff. He becomes consumed by grief, rage, and a desperate longing to reunite with her. His actions become increasingly cruel and vindictive as he seeks to punish those he believes responsible for her demise, particularly Edgar.
A Haunting Presence: Even in death, Catherine’s presence continues to haunt Heathcliff. He sees her in others, particularly in his son, Linton, further fueling his torment and obsession. His final days are marked by a yearning for reunion, culminating in a mysterious death that suggests a desire to join Catherine in the afterlife.
Catherine Earnshaw and Edgar Linton: A Conventional Love Marred by Heathcliff
Opposites Attract: Catherine and Edgar represent opposing worlds. Catherine is wild, passionate, and connected to the untamed beauty of the moors, while Edgar embodies refinement, civility, and social standing. Initially, Catherine is drawn to Edgar’s gentler nature and the stability he offers.
Social Aspiration vs. True Love: Catherine chooses to marry Edgar partly out of a desire for social elevation and a belief that it will ultimately help Heathcliff. However, this decision proves disastrous, as she ultimately cannot deny her deeper connection with Heathcliff, leading to a loveless and ultimately tragic marriage.
A Troubled Marriage: The reappearance of Heathcliff disrupts Catherine and Edgar’s marriage. Catherine is torn between her love for Heathcliff and her commitment to Edgar, while Edgar struggles with jealousy and resentment towards Heathcliff’s influence over his wife.
Catherine’s Decline and Death: Catherine’s emotional turmoil and unresolved feelings for Heathcliff contribute to her decline in health. Her death leaves Edgar heartbroken and consumed by guilt. He spends the rest of his life devoted to his daughter, Catherine, determined to protect her from the darkness that permeated his marriage to Catherine Earnshaw.
Heathcliff and Edgar Linton: A Bitter Rivalry Fueled by Love and Revenge
Clash of Personalities: From the outset, Heathcliff and Edgar represent opposing forces. Heathcliff is dark, brooding, and vengeful, while Edgar is refined, gentle, and controlled. Their contrasting personalities lead to an immediate and lasting animosity.
Competition for Catherine: Heathcliff and Edgar’s rivalry is fueled by their shared love for Catherine. Heathcliff resents Edgar for “stealing” Catherine away from him, while Edgar views Heathcliff as a threat to his marriage and a corrupting influence on his wife.
Revenge and Manipulation: Catherine’s death intensifies Heathcliff’s hatred for Edgar. He sets out on a path of revenge, using his newfound wealth and power to manipulate and torment Edgar, culminating in the forced marriage between their children.
A Lasting Impact: Heathcliff’s vengeful actions cast a long shadow over Edgar’s life, leaving him emotionally scarred and deeply distrustful of the world beyond Thrushcross Grange. Even after Heathcliff’s death, his presence continues to haunt Edgar and his daughter, serving as a constant reminder of the pain and loss he inflicted upon their family.
In conclusion, the relationships between Heathcliff, Catherine Earnshaw, and Edgar Linton are a tangled web of love, hate, passion, and revenge. Their conflicting desires and the societal forces that drive them apart ultimately lead to tragedy and a cycle of pain that echoes through generations.
Hindley’s Treatment of Heathcliff after Mr. Earnshaw’s Death
After the death of Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley’s treatment of Heathcliff becomes incredibly cruel and oppressive, driven by jealousy, resentment, and a desire to punish Heathcliff for his perceived favored status in the household.
Degradation and Labor: Hindley relegates Heathcliff to the status of a servant, forcing him to work alongside the other laborers on the farm [1, 2]. Hindley deprives Heathcliff of the education provided by the curate and ensures he endures hard labor, equivalent to any other farmhand [2].
Social Isolation: Hindley forbids Heathcliff from interacting with Catherine and prohibits him from sitting or eating with the family [1, 2]. This isolates Heathcliff, forcing him to spend time with the servants and denying him the companionship and affection he once shared with Catherine.
Physical Abuse and Threats: Hindley resorts to physical violence and threats to exert his dominance over Heathcliff. Catherine recounts in her diary entry how Hindley calls Heathcliff “a vagabond” and threatens to turn him out of the house [1]. This harsh treatment reveals Hindley’s desire to punish Heathcliff and assert his authority as the new master of Wuthering Heights.
Ignoring Heathcliff’s Needs: Hindley neglects Heathcliff’s well-being. He doesn’t bother ensuring Heathcliff attends church or receives proper care [3]. He only reacts when Joseph and the curate reprimand him for this neglect, and even then, his response is to punish Heathcliff further with a flogging [3].
Psychological Manipulation: Hindley’s cruelty extends to psychological manipulation. He seeks to undermine Heathcliff’s sense of worth and belonging, constantly reminding him of his lower social standing and lack of education. This creates a deep-seated resentment in Heathcliff and fuels his desire for revenge.
Encouraging Joseph’s Prejudice: Hindley allows and even encourages Joseph’s prejudiced treatment of Heathcliff [4, 5]. Joseph, a devoutly religious servant, views Heathcliff as a “devil” and reinforces Hindley’s efforts to ostracize and demean him. This creates a hostile environment for Heathcliff, where he is constantly subjected to physical and emotional abuse.
Hindley’s motivations for this mistreatment are complex:
Jealousy: Hindley had always been jealous of Heathcliff’s close relationship with Mr. Earnshaw [6, 7]. After Mr. Earnshaw’s death, this jealousy turns into bitterness and a desire to punish Heathcliff for the perceived preferential treatment he received.
Resentment: Hindley resents Heathcliff’s presence in the household, viewing him as an interloper who disrupted the family dynamic [8]. He blames Heathcliff for his father’s favoritism and seeks to restore what he sees as the natural order by relegating Heathcliff to a subservient position.
Desire for Control: Hindley’s cruelty is partly a manifestation of his newfound power as master of Wuthering Heights. He asserts his authority through physical dominance and seeks to control those around him, particularly Heathcliff, who represents a threat to his newly acquired status.
In conclusion, Hindley’s treatment of Heathcliff after Mr. Earnshaw’s death is marked by cruelty, neglect, and a deliberate attempt to degrade and isolate him. These actions have lasting consequences, fueling Heathcliff’s resentment and setting in motion a cycle of revenge that will shape the destinies of all involved.
Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw’s Children: A Complex and Troubled Connection
Heathcliff’s relationship with Catherine Earnshaw’s children is complex and deeply intertwined with his enduring love for Catherine and his desire for revenge against those he believes wronged him. He has a biological son, Linton, with Isabella Linton, whom he marries out of revenge against Catherine for choosing Edgar. He also becomes the legal guardian of Catherine’s daughter, Catherine (Cathy), after the death of Edgar Linton. However, his treatment of both children is driven by his own twisted motivations and ultimately serves to perpetuate the cycle of pain and suffering that permeates Wuthering Heights.
Linton Heathcliff: A Tool for Revenge and Inheritance
Heathcliff treats his son, Linton, with a mixture of neglect and manipulation, viewing him primarily as a means to acquire the Linton family property and exact revenge on Edgar.
Disinterest and Neglect: Initially, Heathcliff shows little interest in Linton, describing him as a “puling chicken” and questioning where his “share” in the boy is [1]. He allows Linton to remain ignorant of his true parentage and makes no effort to foster a loving father-son relationship [2]. This neglect stems from Heathcliff’s deep resentment towards Isabella and his lack of genuine affection for the child.
A Means to an End: Heathcliff reveals his true intentions, stating that Linton’s value lies in his being the “prospective owner” of Thrushcross Grange [3]. He plans to ensure that Linton outlives Edgar so that he can inherit the property, thus fulfilling his long-held desire to usurp the Linton family’s wealth and status.
Forced Affection and Control: As Linton’s health deteriorates, Heathcliff forces him to feign affection for Cathy in order to manipulate her into marriage [4]. He sees this union as a way to secure both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange for his lineage, further demonstrating his cold-hearted use of Linton as a pawn in his schemes.
A Loveless Legacy: Linton’s early death leaves Heathcliff without a direct heir to Thrushcross Grange, but he still manages to claim both estates through his legal guardianship of Cathy [5]. Linton’s frail nature and lack of agency ultimately make him a tragic figure, mirroring the destructive effects of Heathcliff’s manipulation and the poisonous legacy of his vendetta.
Catherine (Cathy) Linton: A Replacement and a Target
Heathcliff’s feelings towards Cathy are more complicated, revealing a conflicted mix of lingering affection for Catherine Earnshaw and a desire to exert control and dominance.
A Ghostly Resemblance: Heathcliff is struck by Cathy’s resemblance to her mother, both physically and in terms of personality [6]. This resemblance initially softens his demeanor, but it ultimately becomes a source of torment as he struggles to reconcile his feelings for Catherine with his resentment towards her daughter.
Forced Confinement and Isolation: Following Edgar’s death, Heathcliff confines Cathy to Wuthering Heights and attempts to control her interactions with the outside world [7]. This forced isolation mirrors his own experience as a young boy under Hindley’s tyranny and reveals his need to exert power over those connected to Catherine.
A Replacement for Catherine: Heathcliff encourages a relationship between Cathy and Linton, hoping to recreate the bond he shared with Catherine [8]. He desires to see his son take Edgar’s place and believes that Cathy, as Catherine’s daughter, will fulfill a similar role in Linton’s life. However, this plan is ultimately doomed by Linton’s ill health and Cathy’s growing aversion to both her cousin and Heathcliff.
Manipulation and Cruelty: Despite his initial leniency, Heathcliff resorts to manipulation and cruelty towards Cathy as she resists his attempts to control her. He destroys her books [9], verbally abuses her [10], and threatens physical violence [11]. These actions reveal his frustration at her defiance and his inability to truly possess her as he desired to possess Catherine.
A Path to Redemption: In the latter part of the novel, there are hints that Heathcliff’s attitude towards Cathy begins to soften as he witnesses her budding relationship with Hareton. He seems to recognize their growing affection and the possibility of a future that breaks free from the cycle of pain he created. However, his death prevents him from fully embracing this potential for change.
It is important to note that Heathcliff’s relationship with both children is fundamentally shaped by his unresolved grief for Catherine and his relentless pursuit of revenge against the Linton family. He views both Linton and Cathy as tools to achieve his aims, manipulating and mistreating them in his quest for power and control. However, his complex feelings for Cathy and his potential for change at the end of the novel suggest a glimmer of humanity beneath his hardened exterior.
The Transformation of Catherine Earnshaw: From Wild Spirit to Restrained Lady
Catherine Earnshaw undergoes a significant transformation after her five-week stay at Thrushcross Grange and her subsequent marriage to Edgar Linton. This change is multifaceted, encompassing her outward appearance, manners, and internal struggles as she navigates the expectations of her new social sphere and grapples with her enduring feelings for Heathcliff.
Embracing Refinement: A Change in Appearance and Demeanor
Adopting the Trappings of Gentility: During her time at Thrushcross Grange, Catherine embraces the refinements of a more genteel lifestyle. She readily accepts the fine clothes and flattery bestowed upon her by the Lintons, shedding her former wild appearance [1]. Nelly Dean notes that she transforms from a “wild, hatless little savage” to “a very dignified person” adorned in elegant attire, showcasing a calculated effort to fit in with her new social surroundings [1].
Cultivating Polished Manners: Catherine’s transformation extends beyond her physical appearance; she also learns to behave with more decorum and courtesy [2]. Realizing the importance of social graces, she adopts a more refined demeanor in the company of the Lintons, demonstrating an awareness of the expectations associated with their social standing [2]. Nelly observes that Catherine “imposed unwittingly on the old lady and gentleman by her ingenious cordiality,” highlighting her ability to adapt her behavior to suit different social contexts [2].
A Divided Self: Balancing Conflicting Identities
Developing a “Double Character”: Catherine’s transformation is not without its internal conflicts. Nelly Dean suggests that she adopts a “double character,” behaving differently at Thrushcross Grange than she does at Wuthering Heights [2]. While she strives to be polite and refined in the presence of the Lintons, she reverts to her more natural, unrestrained self at home, where societal expectations are less stringent [2]. This duality reflects the internal struggle Catherine faces as she attempts to reconcile her wild nature with the demands of her new social position.
Prioritizing Reputation over Authenticity: Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar further demonstrates her willingness to prioritize her social standing and future prospects over her deep-seated feelings for Heathcliff [3, 4]. She acknowledges that marrying Heathcliff would lead to poverty, while Edgar offers wealth, respectability, and the opportunity to elevate Heathcliff’s social position [4]. This calculated choice showcases a shift in her priorities, placing greater emphasis on societal approval and material security than on the passionate connection she shares with Heathcliff.
The Consequences of Restraint: A Loss of Spirit and Happiness
Suppressing Her True Nature: Catherine’s marriage to Edgar comes at a cost. As she conforms to the expectations of her new life, she gradually loses the vibrant, unbridled spirit that defined her earlier years [5, 6]. Nelly Dean describes her as becoming “saucier and more passionate, and haughtier than ever,” suggesting that her repressed emotions manifest in negative ways [5]. This change is further emphasized by her growing irritability and intolerance towards those around her, particularly the servants [7, 8].
Enduring a Superficial Happiness: While Catherine experiences a period of apparent happiness with Edgar, Nelly Dean suggests that this contentment is ultimately superficial [7]. Edgar’s constant fear of upsetting Catherine and his tendency to avoid conflict contribute to a somewhat strained and inauthentic dynamic within their marriage [7]. Catherine’s moments of “gloom and silence” hint at an underlying dissatisfaction, despite her outward attempts to maintain the facade of a happy marriage [7].
In conclusion, Catherine’s transformation after marrying Edgar is marked by both outward refinement and internal conflict. While she adapts to the expectations of her new social sphere, embracing a more polished appearance and demeanor, she also struggles to reconcile her true nature with the demands of her new life. This internal struggle, coupled with her decision to prioritize social standing over authentic connection, ultimately leads to a diminished sense of self and a superficial happiness that masks a deeper longing for the passionate, unrestrained love she shared with Heathcliff.
The Inhabitants of Wuthering Heights: A Look at the Main Characters
The excerpts from Wuthering Heights introduce a cast of characters entangled in a web of passionate love, bitter revenge, and societal constraints. These characters, with their stark contrasts and complex relationships, drive the narrative of this haunting tale.
Heathcliff: The Embodiment of Passion and Vengeance
Mysterious Origins and Brooding Presence: Heathcliff’s arrival at Wuthering Heights as a young, “dirty, ragged, black-haired child” sets in motion a chain of events that will forever alter the lives of those around him. [1] His origins remain shrouded in mystery, adding to his enigmatic and unsettling presence.
A Victim of Circumstance: Initially presented as a victim of abuse and social prejudice, Heathcliff endures cruel treatment from Hindley Earnshaw after the death of their father. [2, 3] This early suffering shapes his character, fueling his resentment and desire for retribution.
Consumed by Love and Revenge: Heathcliff’s passionate love for Catherine Earnshaw becomes a driving force in his life, shaping both his triumphs and his destructive actions. [4, 5] Her rejection and subsequent marriage to Edgar Linton drive him to seek revenge, not only against Edgar but also against those connected to the Linton family, including his own son. [5]
A Catalyst for Chaos: Heathcliff’s return to Wuthering Heights as a wealthy and powerful man disrupts the delicate balance of the households, bringing with him a renewed sense of danger and turmoil. [6] His manipulative nature and ruthless pursuit of his goals create a climate of fear and uncertainty, impacting the lives of those both within and beyond the walls of Wuthering Heights.
Catherine Earnshaw: Torn Between Love and Social Aspiration
A Wild Spirit Tamed by Society: Catherine embodies a captivating blend of wildness and refinement. Initially presented as a free-spirited girl who roams the moors with Heathcliff, she undergoes a transformation after her stay at Thrushcross Grange, embracing a more polished appearance and demeanor. [7, 8]
Trapped Between Two Worlds: Catherine’s internal conflict arises from her deep-seated love for Heathcliff and her awareness of the social limitations their relationship would impose. [9, 10] Her choice to marry Edgar reflects her desire for a more secure and socially acceptable future, yet this decision ultimately leads to unhappiness and a sense of unfulfillment.
A Legacy of Unresolved Passion: Catherine’s death leaves a void in the lives of those who loved her, particularly Heathcliff. Her enduring presence haunts the narrative, shaping the destinies of her daughter and influencing the events that unfold long after her passing.
Edgar Linton: The Epitome of Gentility and Restraint
A Stark Contrast to Heathcliff: Edgar represents a stark contrast to Heathcliff’s wild, passionate nature. He is refined, gentle, and averse to conflict, embodying the ideals of the upper class society to which he belongs. [11]
A Protective but Controlling Husband: While deeply in love with Catherine, Edgar struggles to understand and accept her untamed spirit. His fear of upsetting her and his tendency to avoid confrontation create a somewhat stifled atmosphere within their marriage. [12, 13]
A Symbol of Social Order: Edgar represents the forces of order and stability that clash with the untamed passions embodied by Heathcliff. His adherence to social norms and his attempts to maintain a peaceful existence stand in direct opposition to the chaotic and destructive forces unleashed by Heathcliff’s vengeful actions.
Other Notable Characters: A Supporting Cast Caught in the Crossfire
The sources also introduce other characters who play significant roles in the unfolding drama:
Nelly Dean: The housekeeper at Thrushcross Grange, Nelly serves as a keen observer and a sometimes participant in the events that transpire. Her narration provides insight into the characters’ motivations and helps to illuminate the complex relationships that bind them. [14-16]
Hindley Earnshaw: Catherine’s brother, Hindley, becomes consumed by jealousy and resentment towards Heathcliff, perpetuating a cycle of abuse and revenge that fuels the central conflict of the story. [2, 17]
Isabella Linton: Edgar’s sister, Isabella, becomes entangled with Heathcliff, drawn to his mysterious allure despite warnings of his true nature. Her marriage to Heathcliff leads to misery and further fuels the conflict between the two families. [18-20]
Hareton Earnshaw: Hindley’s son, Hareton, grows up neglected and mistreated under Heathcliff’s rule. He represents a potential for redemption and a break from the cycle of violence that has plagued the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights. [21-23]
Catherine (Cathy) Linton: Catherine’s daughter, Cathy, possesses a spirit similar to her mother’s but is raised in a more sheltered environment at Thrushcross Grange. She becomes caught in the ongoing feud between Heathcliff and the Lintons, facing manipulation and forced confinement at Wuthering Heights. [24-26]
It is important to note that this analysis is based solely on the provided excerpts. Further exploration of the novel would undoubtedly reveal additional insights into these characters and their intricate relationships.
Heathcliff’s Transformation: From Abused Child to Tyrannical Master
The death of Mr. Earnshaw marks a turning point in Heathcliff’s life and triggers a significant shift in his character. While the sources offer only glimpses into Heathcliff’s development, they clearly illustrate the dramatic change in his circumstances and behavior following the loss of his benefactor.
The Loss of a Protector: Vulnerability and Resentment
Shift in Power Dynamics: Prior to Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff enjoyed a favored position within the household, often receiving preferential treatment over Hindley. [1, 2] This dynamic shifts dramatically with Hindley’s return as the new master of Wuthering Heights. [3] Now in a position of power, Hindley immediately seeks to assert his dominance over Heathcliff, relegating him to the status of a servant and subjecting him to cruel treatment. [4, 5]
From Favored Child to Abused Servant: The sources detail the harsh conditions Heathcliff endures under Hindley’s rule. He is forced to work long hours, deprived of education, and subjected to physical and emotional abuse. [4-7] Nelly Dean recounts Hindley’s attempts to “reduce him to his right place,” highlighting the stark contrast between his former status and his current plight. [5]
Intensified Resentment and Desire for Revenge: The loss of Mr. Earnshaw’s protection leaves Heathcliff vulnerable and fuels his resentment towards Hindley. Catherine’s diary entries reveal her distress at Hindley’s mistreatment of Heathcliff, noting his increasingly “atrocious conduct.” [4] Heathcliff himself expresses his desire for revenge, stating, “I’m trying to settle how I shall pay Hindley back. I don’t care how long I wait, if I can only do it at last.” [8]
Embracing Darkness: A Descent into Cruelty and Isolation
Extinguishing Curiosity and Love for Learning: The relentless toil and abuse imposed by Hindley effectively extinguish Heathcliff’s intellectual curiosity and love for learning. [6] Nelly Dean observes that “continual hard work, begun soon and concluded late, had extinguished any curiosity he once possessed in pursuit of knowledge, and any love for books or learning.” [6] This forced suppression of his intellectual development contributes to his growing sense of alienation and bitterness.
Cultivating an “Outward Repulsiveness”: As Heathcliff endures years of hardship, his physical appearance and demeanor transform, reflecting his internal turmoil and growing resentment. [6, 7] Nelly Dean notes that he acquires “a slouching gait and ignoble look,” further emphasizing his decline in social standing and the hardening of his spirit. [7]
Taking Pleasure in Inspiring Aversion: Withdrawn and embittered, Heathcliff seems to take a perverse pleasure in eliciting fear and disgust from those around him. [7] He actively cultivates a sense of “inward and outward repulsiveness,” pushing away potential kindness and choosing isolation over connection. [6] This behavior suggests a deliberate rejection of societal norms and a growing embrace of darkness and cruelty.
A Transformation Fueled by Loss: The Long Shadow of Mr. Earnshaw’s Death
While Heathcliff’s inherent nature may have contributed to his transformation, the sources suggest that the loss of Mr. Earnshaw’s love and protection played a crucial role in shaping his path.
A Catalyst for Change: Mr. Earnshaw’s death creates a power vacuum that allows Hindley to unleash his cruelty upon Heathcliff. This sudden shift in circumstances exposes Heathcliff to the worst aspects of human nature and fosters his desire for revenge.
A Pivotal Moment of Abandonment: The loss of his only protector leaves Heathcliff feeling betrayed and abandoned. This experience likely exacerbates his feelings of alienation and reinforces his belief that the world is a hostile and uncaring place.
A Missed Opportunity for Kindness and Growth: Had Mr. Earnshaw lived, Heathcliff might have received the guidance and support needed to temper his darker impulses and develop into a more well-adjusted individual. Instead, he is left to fend for himself in a world that seems determined to crush his spirit.
It is important to remember that the excerpts offer a limited perspective on Heathcliff’s development. A fuller understanding of his character would require examining his actions and motivations throughout the entire novel. Nonetheless, the sources clearly demonstrate that Mr. Earnshaw’s death serves as a catalyst for a profound and tragic transformation in Heathcliff’s life, setting him on a path of vengeance and self-destruction.
Favored Son: Evidence of Mr. Earnshaw’s Preference for Heathcliff
The sources provide compelling evidence to suggest that Mr. Earnshaw, the master of Wuthering Heights, favors Heathcliff, the orphaned child he brings home, over his own son, Hindley.
The Incident of the Colts: A telling example of Mr. Earnshaw’s bias occurs when he purchases two colts and gives one to each boy [1]. Despite Heathcliff choosing the “handsomest” colt, when it becomes lame, he manipulates Hindley into exchanging horses by threatening to reveal Hindley’s mistreatment to Mr. Earnshaw. This incident reveals Heathcliff’s awareness of his influence over the master and his willingness to exploit it. More importantly, it foreshadows Mr. Earnshaw’s likely reaction, suggesting a pattern of siding with Heathcliff over his own son.
Jealous Protection and Humoring of Heathcliff: As Mr. Earnshaw’s health deteriorates, his partiality towards Heathcliff becomes more pronounced. He becomes “painfully jealous lest a word should be spoken amiss to him” and suspects that everyone hates Heathcliff simply because he, Mr. Earnshaw, likes him [2]. This irrational protectiveness reveals a deep-seated favoritism that blinds him to Heathcliff’s faults.
Disregarding Hindley’s Concerns: Mr. Earnshaw dismisses Hindley’s complaints about Heathcliff, choosing to believe Heathcliff’s version of events without question. Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, recalls that Mr. Earnshaw “believing all he said” and “petting him up far above Cathy, who was too mischievous and wayward for a favorite” [3]. This consistent dismissal of Hindley’s perspective highlights Mr. Earnshaw’s unwavering belief in Heathcliff’s goodness.
Enabling Heathcliff’s Pride and Temper: By constantly indulging Heathcliff and shielding him from criticism, Mr. Earnshaw inadvertently fosters the boy’s pride and “black tempers” [4]. Nelly observes that the household, wanting to avoid upsetting the master, “humoured his partiality,” which ultimately “was rich nourishment to the child’s pride” [2]. Mr. Earnshaw’s actions, motivated by affection for Heathcliff, ironically contribute to the development of negative traits in the boy.
Hindley as a “Reprobate”: Under the influence of Joseph, a manipulative servant, Mr. Earnshaw comes to view Hindley as a “reprobate” and distances himself further from his son [5]. Joseph, fueled by his own biases, consistently “grumbled out a long string of tales against Heathcliff and Catherine: always minding to flatter Earnshaw’s weakness by heaping the heaviest blame on the latter” [5]. While Joseph plays a role in shaping Mr. Earnshaw’s opinion, it is ultimately the master who chooses to believe the negative portrayal of his son.
The consequences of Mr. Earnshaw’s favoritism towards Heathcliff are significant.
Breeding Resentment and Conflict: Mr. Earnshaw’s blatant preference for Heathcliff breeds resentment in Hindley, creating a hostile environment within the household [3, 4]. This early animosity sets the stage for the destructive cycle of revenge that unfolds throughout the story.
Hindley’s Downward Spiral: Feeling rejected by his father and overshadowed by Heathcliff, Hindley descends into a spiral of bitterness, anger, and self-destruction. He becomes tyrannical and abusive towards Heathcliff, mirroring the neglect and cruelty he himself experienced.
Shaping Heathcliff’s Character: While Mr. Earnshaw’s kindness initially offers Heathcliff solace and a sense of belonging, the imbalanced nature of his affection contributes to Heathcliff’s manipulative tendencies and his warped sense of justice.
It is crucial to acknowledge that the sources primarily present Nelly Dean’s perspective, which may be colored by her own biases. Nonetheless, the evidence presented consistently portrays Mr. Earnshaw as a man whose love for Heathcliff blinds him to his flaws and leads him to neglect and undervalue his own son, Hindley. This dynamic sets in motion a tragic chain of events that impacts the lives of all involved.
The Unsettling Gentleman of Wuthering Heights: A Contrast in Appearance and Lifestyle
The sources paint a fascinating portrait of Heathcliff, a man whose physical appearance and demeanor clash sharply with his surroundings and way of life. While he embodies certain aspects of a gentleman, his darker, more primal nature reveals itself through his choices and his impact on those around him.
Heathcliff’s Appearance and Manner: Despite his “darkskinned gipsy” looks [1], Heathcliff carries himself with the air of a gentleman, at least in the manner of a “country squire” [1]. His attire reflects this social aspiration, and while he might be considered “rather slovenly,” his “erect and handsome figure” prevents him from looking entirely out of place [1]. However, there’s an underlying moroseness to his manner [1], a sense of brooding intensity that sets him apart from the more jovial country gentlemen.
The Homely Abode of Wuthering Heights: In stark contrast to Heathcliff’s attempt at gentility, his home, Wuthering Heights, embodies a rugged, almost primitive simplicity. The narrator describes it as belonging to a “homely, northern farmer” with sturdy build and plain tastes [1]. The furnishings are functional and unadorned: “smooth, white stone” floors, “high-backed, primitive structures, painted green” for chairs, and a simple dresser with “sundry villainous old guns, and a couple of horse-pistols” for decoration [1]. Even the presence of dogs, a “huge, liver-coloured bitch pointer” and her “squealing puppies” alongside other canines [1], contribute to the image of a rough, unrefined dwelling.
A Disparity in Refinement: This contrast between Heathcliff’s cultivated appearance and the starkness of his home raises intriguing questions. Why would a man who aspires to be a gentleman choose to live in such an unrefined environment? The sources hint that Heathcliff’s motivations might be more complex than a simple lack of resources. He is described as “very near close-handed” despite having ample wealth [2], suggesting that his choice of residence reflects a deeper aspect of his personality – perhaps a rejection of societal expectations or a lingering connection to a less civilized past.
Heathcliff’s Impact on Wuthering Heights: While Heathcliff may dress like a gentleman, his actions and their impact on Wuthering Heights reveal a darker, less polished nature. Under his stewardship, the house becomes associated with “scenes of riot” and a general atmosphere of neglect and cruelty [3]. The once “cheerful house” transforms into a “dingy, untidy hole” [4], reflecting the corrosive effect of Heathcliff’s presence.
The Contradiction Within: This contradiction between Heathcliff’s outward aspirations and his inward nature is a central element of his character. He strives for a level of social acceptance while simultaneously perpetuating behaviors that alienate and repulse those around him.
It’s important to note that the novel does not explicitly explain Heathcliff’s reasons for maintaining this stark contrast between his personal appearance and his chosen lifestyle. However, by highlighting this disparity, the sources offer valuable insights into the complexities of Heathcliff’s character, leaving readers to ponder the motivations behind his choices and their impact on the world around him.
A Gloomy and Imposing Structure: The Physical Characteristics of Wuthering Heights
The sources, primarily through the observations of Lockwood, the narrator, offer a vivid depiction of Wuthering Heights, revealing a dwelling that reflects the rugged landscape and the turbulent lives of its inhabitants. Here are some of its defining physical characteristics:
Exposed and Weather-beaten: Wuthering Heights is located on a “bleak hill-top” exposed to the full force of the elements. [1, 2] The name itself, “Wuthering,” speaks to the “atmospheric tumult” that the house endures, particularly during storms. [1] The constant battering of wind is evident in the “excessive slant” of the stunted fir trees and the “gaunt thorns” that seem to stretch towards the sun as if pleading for relief. [1]
Sturdy Construction: The house, built in 1500, is a testament to the foresight of its architect, having been constructed to withstand the harsh conditions. [1, 3] The “narrow windows are deeply set in the wall,” offering minimal exposure to the elements. [3] The corners are reinforced with “large jutting stones,” providing additional strength and stability. [3]
Ornate Facade: Despite its rugged surroundings and austere interior, the front of Wuthering Heights features “grotesque carving,” particularly around the main entrance. [3] The carvings include “crumbling griffins and shameless little boys,” adding a touch of whimsical macabre to the otherwise imposing structure. [3] Above the door, the date “1500” and the name “Hareton Earnshaw” are etched, hinting at the history embedded within the house’s walls. [3]
Dark and Simple Interior: Inside, Wuthering Heights is characterized by a lack of ornamentation and a prevalence of dark, functional furniture. [4] The main living space, referred to as “the house,” combines the kitchen and parlor, reflecting the practicality of rural life. [4] The absence of “signs of roasting, boiling, or baking” around the “huge fireplace” suggests that the kitchen is located elsewhere, possibly to contain the mess and smells of cooking. [4] Instead, the focus in this space is on storage and display, with a “vast oak dresser” reaching the ceiling, filled with “ranks of immense pewter dishes” and “silver jugs and tankards,” reflecting a pride in practicality and abundance rather than elegance. [4]
Rustic Simplicity: The remaining furnishings reinforce the impression of a simple, almost primitive, dwelling. The floor is made of unadorned “smooth, white stone,” and the chairs are “high-backed, primitive structures, painted green,” with a few “heavy black ones lurking in the shade.” [4] The overall atmosphere suggests functionality and a connection to the rugged landscape, devoid of the refinements one might expect in the home of a gentleman.
A House Haunted by the Past: Wuthering Heights is more than just a physical structure; it’s a repository of memories, both joyful and tragic. Lockwood’s encounter with the ghost of Catherine Earnshaw at the window underscores the sense that the past lingers within the house’s walls. [5] This spectral presence, combined with the tales of Heathcliff’s turbulent life and the destructive relationships that have unfolded within its confines, infuses Wuthering Heights with an almost palpable atmosphere of mystery and melancholy.
The physical attributes of Wuthering Heights are intricately woven into the narrative, serving not merely as a backdrop but as a reflection of the characters and their relationships. Its exposed location, sturdy construction, and stark interior embody the harsh realities of life on the moors, while the grotesque carvings and ghostly apparitions hint at the darker, more psychological aspects of the story. Just as Heathcliff’s own appearance contrasts with his surroundings, Wuthering Heights represents a juxtaposition of beauty and brutality, of resilience and despair, mirroring the complexities of the human experience within its walls.
A Striking Disparity: Heathcliff’s Appearance vs. Wuthering Heights
The sources highlight a fascinating contradiction between Heathcliff’s cultivated appearance and the rough simplicity of his dwelling, Wuthering Heights. This contrast underscores the complex nature of his character and raises questions about his motivations and aspirations.
**Heathcliff, the Gentleman: ** Despite his “darkskinned gipsy” features, Heathcliff consciously adopts the dress and manners of a gentleman, aiming to fit the mold of a “country squire” [1]. Even though his attire might be considered “rather slovenly,” his naturally “erect and handsome figure” prevents him from appearing entirely out of place [1]. However, an underlying moroseness and “under-bred pride” [1] set him apart from the typical jovial country gentleman. He cultivates an air of mystery and aloofness, keeping his emotions hidden and maintaining a distance from those around him.
**Wuthering Heights, the Rustic Abode: ** Heathcliff’s home stands in stark contrast to his aspirations of gentility. Wuthering Heights is described as a “homely, northern farmer” ‘s residence [1], lacking any of the elegance or refinement one might expect from a man of his social ambitions.
The interior is characterized by its simplicity and functionality. The main living area, a combined kitchen and parlor, features a “vast oak dresser” filled with “immense pewter dishes” and “silver jugs and tankards” [2] – practical items meant for use rather than display. The “smooth, white stone” floor and the “high-backed, primitive structures, painted green” chairs [1] further reinforce the impression of rustic simplicity.
The house’s exterior is equally stark. Exposed on a “bleak hill-top,” it is constantly subjected to harsh weather conditions, evident in the “excessive slant” of the stunted fir trees and the “gaunt thorns” struggling for sunlight [3].
The Question of Choice: The sources indicate that Heathcliff possesses significant wealth, “nobody knows what money, and every year it increases” [4]. This raises the question: why would a man with the means to live comfortably choose to remain in such a rugged, unrefined dwelling?
Is it a matter of frugality? While he’s described as “very near close-handed” [4], his wealth seems to exceed mere miserliness.
Does his dwelling reflect a rejection of societal norms? Perhaps Heathcliff, with his “darkskinned gipsy” looks [1], feels alienated from the world of the “country squire” [1] and chooses to create his own domain, where he sets the rules.
Or is there a deeper connection to the wildness of the moors and the primal simplicity of Wuthering Heights that draws him in? The house, like Heathcliff himself, embodies a certain untamed spirit that defies easy categorization.
This intriguing disconnect between Heathcliff’s appearance and his chosen lifestyle adds another layer to his enigmatic persona. It prompts readers to consider the forces that have shaped his character and the motivations behind his choices, revealing a man driven by complex desires and a profound sense of alienation.
Staying at the Heights: Heathcliff’s Reasons
While the sources, encompassing excerpts from Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, don’t provide a direct list of reasons why Heathcliff chooses to remain at Wuthering Heights, they do offer glimpses into his motivations, primarily through observations of his behavior, conversations, and impact on the house and its inhabitants. Here’s a look at the factors that contribute to his decision:
Control and Possession: After Hindley Earnshaw gambles away Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff becomes the mortgagee, effectively taking control of the property and securing his position as master. He relishes this power, particularly over Hindley and Hareton, as seen when he “lifted the unfortunate child on to the table and muttered, with peculiar gusto, ‘Now, my bonny lad, you are MINE! And we’ll see if one tree won’t grow as crooked as another, with the same wind to twist it!’” [1] This desire for control extends to his relationships as well, particularly with Catherine Earnshaw and later with Isabella Linton.
Proximity to Catherine Earnshaw: Heathcliff’s deep, obsessive love for Catherine is a driving force behind many of his actions. Even after she marries Edgar Linton, Heathcliff rents Thrushcross Grange to be closer to her. He explains to Nelly Dean that one of his primary reasons for staying at Wuthering Heights is its proximity to the Grange, allowing him more opportunities to see Catherine. [2] He clearly states, “I’m not wishing you greater torment than I have, Heathcliff. I only wish us never to be parted: and should a word of mine distress you hereafter, think I feel the same distress underground, and for my own sake, forgive me! Come here and kneel down again! You never harmed me in your life. Nay, if you nurse anger, that will be worse to remember than my harsh words! Won’t you come here again? Do!” [3]
Aversion to Society: Despite adopting the appearance and manners of a gentleman, Heathcliff displays a consistent aversion to social interaction. He prefers solitude and isolation, finding solace in the ruggedness of the moors and the seclusion of Wuthering Heights. The narrator describes him as a “perfect misanthropist” [4] and notes his “aversion to showy displays of feeling” and “manifestations of mutual kindliness.” [5] This preference for isolation is further emphasized when Lockwood, after spending a night at Wuthering Heights, observes, “It is astonishing how sociable I feel myself compared with him.” [6]
Childhood Memories: Wuthering Heights is where Heathcliff spent his formative years, both experiencing moments of connection with Catherine and enduring harsh treatment from Hindley. This creates a complex relationship with the place, imbued with both pain and a sense of belonging. His attachment to the house where he and Catherine lived together is cited as another reason for his staying at Wuthering Heights. [2] He is “jealous of monopolising” [7] Linton’s affection.
Revenge and Retribution: Heathcliff harbors a deep-seated resentment towards Hindley for the abuse he suffered and the loss of Catherine. Wuthering Heights becomes a stage for his revenge, allowing him to gradually dismantle Hindley’s life and exert control over Hareton, depriving him of his rightful inheritance. [8, 9] He finds some kind of pleasure in revenge. “No, God won’t have the satisfaction that I shall… I only wish I knew the best way! Let me alone, and I’ll plan it out: while I’m thinking of that I don’t feel pain.” [10] This desire for retribution fuels his actions and reinforces his decision to remain at Wuthering Heights.
Connection to the Land: The sources portray Heathcliff as being deeply connected to the wild, untamed nature of the moors. This affinity for the rugged landscape surrounding Wuthering Heights might also contribute to his decision to stay. For example, he frequently walks on the moors for pleasure, particularly during shooting season. [11]
It’s important to note that Heathcliff’s reasons for staying at Wuthering Heights are intertwined and evolve over time. His initial motivation might be driven by revenge, but as the story unfolds, his desire for control, his longing for Catherine, and his aversion to society all play a part in his decision to remain in this isolated, windswept dwelling.
The Narrator’s Illness and Unplanned Stay
Lockwood, the narrator, decides to visit his landlord, Heathcliff, at Wuthering Heights despite Heathcliff’s lack of enthusiasm for the visit [1, 2]. He sets off on his journey, noting that the day was “misty and cold” and he had initially considered staying home [2].
• Upon arriving, he is greeted gruffly by Joseph, a servant, and then by Heathcliff himself [3, 4]. Lockwood attempts to be cheerful and friendly, explaining that he has come as promised and hoping Heathcliff will offer him shelter as snow begins to fall [4].
• At this point, Lockwood encounters a rather aggressive dog. While attempting to defend himself from the dog, he finds himself struggling with the entire Heathcliff family [5]. He is “pulled into the kitchen” by a woman who throws “a pint of icy water down [his] neck” [5].
• This event leaves Lockwood “sick exceedingly, and dizzy, and faint” [5]. His poor physical state forces him to accept Heathcliff’s begrudging offer of lodging for the night. Zillah, a servant, tends to Lockwood and sees that he gets to bed [5].
Contrasting Worlds: Wuthering Heights vs. Thrushcross Grange
The sources, excerpts from Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, present a striking contrast between the two primary settings: Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. These differences extend beyond the physical characteristics of the houses, reflecting the social dynamics, values, and overall atmosphere that define each location.
Wuthering Heights: A Realm of Wildness and Passion
Location and Atmosphere: Situated on a “bleak hill-top” [1], Wuthering Heights is constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, mirroring the untamed passions and turbulent emotions that characterize its inhabitants. The “power of the north wind blowing over the edge” [1] is a constant reminder of the harsh realities of life on the moors and the forcefulness with which emotions erupt within the house.
**The “significant provincial adjective” [1] “wuthering” emphasizes the wild, tumultuous nature of both the environment and the lives of those who reside there.
Social Dynamics and Values: Wuthering Heights is marked by intense, often destructive relationships.
Heathcliff’s arrival as a young orphan disrupts the established order and sets in motion a chain of events fueled by jealousy, revenge, and unrequited love.
Hindley’s descent into drunkenness and debauchery further darkens the atmosphere, creating a chaotic and oppressive environment.
Interior and Exterior: The physical characteristics of Wuthering Heights reflect its inhabitants’ rough, unrefined nature.
The main living area combines kitchen and parlor, a practical arrangement reflecting the lack of social graces and the focus on basic necessities. [2]
The furnishings are simple and sturdy, meant for use rather than display.
**The presence of “sundry villainous old guns, and a couple of horse-pistols” [3] above the chimney hints at a history of violence and a need for protection.
Overall Impression: Wuthering Heights embodies raw emotion, untamed passions, and a connection to the wildness of the moors. It is a place where social conventions are challenged and individual desires clash with societal expectations.
Thrushcross Grange: Elegance, Restraint, and Social Conformity
Location and Atmosphere: Nestled in a valley, sheltered by trees and surrounded by a well-maintained park, Thrushcross Grange offers a stark contrast to the exposed and unforgiving environment of Wuthering Heights.
The name “Grange” itself suggests agricultural prosperity and a sense of order and stability.
Social Dynamics and Values: The Lintons, who reside at Thrushcross Grange, represent cultivation, refinement, and adherence to social norms.
Their lives are characterized by politeness, restraint, and a focus on appearances.
Their interactions, while sometimes strained, lack the volatile intensity that defines relationships at Wuthering Heights.
Interior and Exterior: Thrushcross Grange is described as “a splendid place carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered chairs and tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold, a shower of glass-drops hanging in silver chains from the centre, and shimmering with little soft tapers” [4]. This opulent decor reflects the Linton’s wealth and their emphasis on elegance and beauty.
The house is well-maintained and comfortable, a haven from the harshness of the moors.
Overall Impression: Thrushcross Grange represents social order, refinement, and a more controlled, civilized way of life. It is a world where emotions are kept in check and appearances are paramount.
The Significance of the Contrast
The stark differences between Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange contribute significantly to the novel’s themes and character development.
The contrasting settings mirror the inner conflicts of the characters, particularly Catherine Earnshaw, who is torn between her passionate love for Heathcliff and her desire for a socially acceptable life with Edgar Linton.
The physical and emotional distance between the two houses serves as a constant reminder of the social and emotional barriers that separate the characters.
The movement of characters between these two contrasting worlds highlights the transformative power of environment and the challenges of reconciling opposing values and desires.
The ongoing tension between the wild, passionate world of Wuthering Heights and the restrained, cultivated atmosphere of Thrushcross Grange provides a rich backdrop for the unfolding drama of Wuthering Heights. It underscores the complexity of human nature and the enduring power of love, revenge, and social constraints.
A Complex and Evolving Relationship: Heathcliff and Hareton Earnshaw
The relationship between Heathcliff and Hareton Earnshaw in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is complicated, evolving from one of animosity and control to a grudging acceptance and, ultimately, a surprising kinship. It’s a dynamic fueled by Heathcliff’s thirst for revenge against Hindley Earnshaw, Hareton’s father, and shaped by the complexities of their shared history at Wuthering Heights.
Early Animosity and Control
Heathcliff initially views Hareton as a tool for his revenge against Hindley. After Hindley’s downfall, Heathcliff seizes control of Wuthering Heights and relishes the opportunity to subjugate Hareton, mirroring the cruel treatment he himself endured under Hindley. He denies Hareton education and exposes him to a coarse, uncivilized environment, boasting, “Now, my bonny lad, you are MINE! And we’ll see if one tree won’t grow as crooked as another, with the same wind to twist it!” [1]. This statement reveals Heathcliff’s intention to mold Hareton into a rough image of himself, perpetuating the cycle of abuse and resentment.
Heathcliff’s manipulation extends to Hareton’s perception of his own father. He encourages Joseph, the embittered servant, to blame Hindley for all of Hareton’s faults, further isolating the boy and distorting his understanding of family ties. Heathcliff takes pride in Hareton’s “brutishness,” seeing it as a reflection of his own successful revenge against Hindley [2].
Grudging Acceptance and Unintentional Mirroring
Despite his initial cruelty, Heathcliff displays a contradictory possessiveness over Hareton. He describes the boy as “the only one in all this parish that does not guess how he has been cheated” [3], acknowledging the injustice he has inflicted while simultaneously reveling in his control. He boasts to Nelly that he has secured Hareton “faster than his scoundrel of a father secured me, and lower” [2], highlighting his twisted sense of triumph in replicating Hindley’s abusive behavior.
As the story progresses, Heathcliff’s feelings toward Hareton become increasingly complex. He admits to being “damnably fond” of the young man [2] and expresses a begrudging respect for Hareton’s strength and loyalty. He even pits Hareton against his own sickly son, Linton, in a competition for Catherine Linton’s affection [4], perhaps unconsciously recognizing a kindred spirit in Hareton’s rugged nature.
Unforeseen Kinship and Transformation
A significant shift in their relationship occurs after the death of Catherine Linton. Heathcliff, consumed by grief and haunted by Catherine’s memory, becomes increasingly withdrawn and introspective. He begins to see reflections of Catherine in Hareton’s features and demeanor, leading to a softening of his heart. He notes, “But when I look for his father in his face, I find HER every day more! How the devil is he so like? I can hardly bear to see him” [5]. This realization marks a turning point, prompting Heathcliff to reevaluate his treatment of Hareton.
At the same time, Catherine Linton’s daughter, also named Catherine, enters the picture. She develops a genuine affection for Hareton, despite his lack of education and rough manners. Catherine encourages Hareton to learn to read, challenging Heathcliff’s efforts to keep him in a state of ignorance [6]. She sees potential in Hareton that Heathcliff, blinded by his own pain and bitterness, has failed to recognize.
Witnessing the blossoming relationship between Catherine and Hareton further awakens something in Heathcliff. He observes their interactions with a mixture of curiosity and reluctant approval, noting their “eager interest of children” and the similarities in their eyes, which remind him of Catherine Earnshaw [7]. He allows their relationship to develop, perhaps sensing a chance for redemption in their happiness.
The sources end before the full resolution of their relationship plays out; however, the trajectory suggests a potential for reconciliation and growth. Heathcliff’s grudging acceptance of Hareton, coupled with Catherine’s influence and the shared grief over Catherine Linton, creates a foundation for a more positive dynamic.
Ultimately, the relationship between Heathcliff and Hareton Earnshaw serves as a powerful testament to the destructive nature of revenge and the unexpected ways in which love and compassion can emerge even in the most unlikely circumstances.
Societal Pressures and A Desire for Security: Catherine Linton’s Choice
Catherine Linton’s decision to marry Edgar Linton in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is driven by a complex interplay of social expectations, personal desires, and a pragmatic assessment of her options. While deeply in love with Heathcliff, she recognizes the societal constraints that make a future with him appear impossible. Ultimately, her choice reflects a desire for security, stability, and a life that aligns with the social norms of her time.
Social Standing and Advancement: Catherine acknowledges that marrying Edgar would elevate her social status and offer her a more comfortable life than she could ever have at Wuthering Heights or with Heathcliff. She explicitly tells Nelly, “He will be rich, and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood, and I shall be proud of having such a husband” [1]. This desire for social recognition and the material comforts it affords is a significant factor in her decision. This motivation is further underscored by our previous discussion about the stark differences between Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. We know that Thrushcross Grange represents wealth, refinement, and social respectability, qualities absent from the wild, untamed world of Wuthering Heights. Catherine’s attraction to these qualities suggests a longing to escape the harsh realities of her upbringing and embrace a more comfortable and socially acceptable way of life.
Stability and Security: Edgar represents a safe and predictable choice, offering Catherine a stable and secure future that Heathcliff, with his uncertain background and volatile nature, cannot provide. Nelly points out that Edgar will provide a “wealthy, respectable” home, a stark contrast to the “disorderly, comfortless home” she would leave behind [2]. This promise of stability is particularly appealing given the turbulent and often chaotic environment at Wuthering Heights, particularly under Hindley’s rule.
Heathcliff’s Lack of Social Standing: Catherine recognizes that Heathcliff’s lack of social standing and education would make him an unsuitable match in the eyes of society. She acknowledges this, telling Nelly, “It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now” [3]. This understanding of social hierarchies and their impact on her reputation reveals a pragmatic side to Catherine’s character.
A Belief She Can Help Heathcliff: Catherine attempts to justify her decision by claiming that marrying Edgar will allow her to help Heathcliff improve his social standing and escape the control of her brother Hindley. She tells Nelly, “If I marry Linton, I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother’s power” [4]. This rationale, however, is met with skepticism by Nelly, who questions whether Catherine can truly control Edgar’s wealth and influence.
Internal Conflict and Justification: Catherine struggles with her decision, admitting to Nelly that she feels “extremely miserable” about marrying Edgar [3]. She famously declares, “I AM Heathcliff!” [5], highlighting her profound connection to him and the emotional sacrifice she makes in choosing Edgar. To reconcile her decision with her feelings, Catherine deludes herself into believing that her love for Heathcliff is unwavering and that their souls are eternally bound.
While Catherine ultimately chooses the security and social acceptance offered by Edgar, her decision is not without cost. Her internal conflict and her persistent feelings for Heathcliff contribute to the tumultuous events that unfold throughout the novel.
A Strategic Union: Catherine’s Motivations for Marrying Edgar
Catherine’s agreement to marry Edgar is a calculated decision, primarily motivated by her desire to improve both her own social standing and Heathcliff’s prospects. Recognizing the limitations placed upon her as a woman in 19th century England, she views this marriage as a strategic move to acquire power and influence within their society. This understanding is enriched by our previous conversation where we established the stark contrast between the social environments of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.
Elevating Heathcliff’s Position: Catherine believes that marrying Edgar will provide her with the resources and social leverage needed to help Heathcliff escape the oppressive control of her brother, Hindley. She envisions using Edgar’s wealth and influence to elevate Heathcliff’s position, stating, “If I marry Linton, I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother’s power.” [1] This desire to protect and uplift Heathcliff underscores the depth of her feelings for him, even as she chooses a different path for herself.
Securing Her Own Future: Catherine is acutely aware of the societal constraints that limit her options, particularly as a woman without significant means. She explicitly tells Nelly, “If Heathcliff and I married, we should be beggars? whereas, if I marry Linton I can aid Heathcliff to rise, and place him out of my brother’s power.” [1] This statement reveals a pragmatic understanding of the importance of financial security and the social advantages that come with wealth and a respectable marriage.
Social Advancement and Recognition: Catherine acknowledges that marrying Edgar will grant her a higher social standing and access to a world of refinement and comfort. She openly admits her ambition, telling Nelly that she desires to be “the greatest woman of the neighbourhood” and to take pride in having Edgar as her husband. [2] This desire for social recognition and the material comforts it affords is a significant factor in her decision.
While Catherine attempts to frame her decision as a selfless act to benefit Heathcliff, her motivations are more complex, intertwining her love for him with a shrewd understanding of her own needs and ambitions. The sources suggest that Catherine believes this marriage will ultimately allow her to have both: security and social standing for herself and a path to improvement for Heathcliff.
Heathcliff’s Calculated Cruelty: Making Linton’s Life Miserable
While the sources don’t explicitly outline a detailed plan by Heathcliff to make Linton’s life miserable after he marries Catherine, they do provide ample evidence of his intentions and the methods he employs to achieve them. Heathcliff’s strategy appears to be multifaceted, driven by a desire for revenge against Edgar and a twisted sense of possession over Catherine.
Exploiting Linton’s Weakness: Heathcliff recognizes Linton’s frail health and delicate nature as vulnerabilities he can exploit. He notes Linton’s “paltry creature” status and his inability to compete with Hareton for Catherine’s affections [1]. This understanding allows him to manipulate Linton, both physically and emotionally, with relative ease. This strategy aligns with our previous conversation where we explored Heathcliff’s tendency to exploit weaknesses in others, as he did with Hareton, denying him education and subjecting him to a harsh upbringing.
Isolating Linton from Catherine: Heathcliff exerts control over Linton’s access to Catherine, using his authority as Linton’s father to enforce separations and dictate the terms of their interactions [2, 3]. He understands that their limited contact will fuel Linton’s anxieties and insecurities, creating further distress. This tactic resonates with our previous discussion about Catherine’s reasons for marrying Edgar. We know she believed that doing so would grant her the power to help Heathcliff, but instead, it provides Heathcliff with the leverage to manipulate their lives and further his own agenda.
Undermining Edgar’s Authority: Heathcliff relishes the opportunity to undermine Edgar’s authority and paint him as a weak and ineffectual figure in Linton’s eyes. He describes Edgar’s care for Catherine as stemming from mere “duty and humanity” [4], minimizing the genuine love Edgar feels for his wife and aiming to diminish his stature in Linton’s perception.
Psychological Manipulation and Threats: Heathcliff employs psychological tactics to instill fear and anxiety in Linton. He threatens violence, reminding Linton of his physical superiority and hinting at potential harm if he disobeys [5]. This constant state of apprehension weakens Linton’s already fragile emotional state, contributing to his overall misery.
Forcing a Loveless Marriage: By orchestrating the marriage between Catherine and Linton, Heathcliff ensures that Linton will experience the pain of an unrequited love [6, 7]. He knows Catherine harbors no real affection for Linton and that her heart remains with Heathcliff. This calculated cruelty forces Linton into a marriage devoid of genuine love and affection, a situation guaranteed to breed resentment and unhappiness.
Financial Control and Inheritance: Heathcliff aims to secure control over Edgar’s property and wealth through Linton, solidifying his triumph over the Linton family and ensuring his own future dominance [6, 8]. This financial manipulation serves as another tool to exert power over Linton, who is acutely aware of his father’s declining health and the impending inheritance.
Though the sources end before the full extent of Heathcliff’s plans unfolds, it’s clear that he intends to make Linton’s life as miserable as possible, both as a means of revenge against Edgar and as a twisted expression of his own possessive love for Catherine. His methods, characterized by manipulation, cruelty, and a keen understanding of human weakness, paint a bleak picture of Linton’s future under his control.
A Yearning for Annihilation: Heathcliff’s Desire to Obliterate His Property
While the sources never explicitly state that Heathcliff wants to destroy his property, they offer a glimpse into his profound emotional turmoil and disillusionment with material possessions, suggesting a deep-seated desire to erase the tangible symbols of his tumultuous past and unfulfilled desires.
A Burdened Soul: Heathcliff’s acquisition of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, initially driven by a thirst for revenge and a desire to claim what he felt was rightfully his, ultimately brings him little satisfaction. Instead, these properties become constant reminders of his tormented love for Catherine, her loss, and the bitter consequences of his actions. As Nelly observes, “The master was too gloomy to seek companionship with any people, good or bad; and he is yet” [1], highlighting his isolation and inability to find solace in his surroundings.
Annihilation as Release: Towards the end of the novel, Heathcliff expresses a desire to “annihilate” his property, wishing it could vanish from the face of the earth [2]. This statement, uttered in a moment of deep emotional distress and instability, reveals a longing to escape the weight of his past and the painful memories associated with his possessions. This longing for annihilation can be seen as a reflection of his desire to undo the choices that led to his current state of misery and isolation.
The Futility of Material Wealth: Heathcliff’s weariness with his property reflects a growing understanding of the futility of material wealth in bringing happiness or fulfillment. Having achieved his long-sought revenge and amassed considerable wealth, he finds himself no closer to peace or contentment. The properties, once symbols of his triumph, now represent the emptiness of his victories. This disillusionment underscores the novel’s exploration of the destructive nature of revenge and the limitations of material gain in achieving true happiness.
Transcending Physical Boundaries: Heathcliff’s desire to obliterate his property can also be interpreted as a yearning to transcend the physical boundaries of his existence and reunite with Catherine in death. His haunting of the moors, his visions of Catherine’s ghost, and his increasing detachment from the material world suggest a desire to escape the confines of his earthly life and join her in a realm beyond the reach of pain and loss.
While Heathcliff never acts upon his desire to destroy his property, his words offer a profound insight into his inner turmoil and the emptiness he feels despite his material success. His longing for annihilation speaks to a profound disenchantment with the world he has created, suggesting a desire to escape the painful legacy of his actions and find peace in oblivion.
Jealousy, Control, and Revenge: Heathcliff’s Objections to Catherine and Linton
Heathcliff’s objections to Catherine spending time with Linton are rooted in a complex web of jealousy, possessiveness, and his desire for revenge against Edgar Linton. The sources portray Heathcliff as a man consumed by his love for Catherine, a love that twists into a dark obsession after she chooses to marry Edgar. Linton, as Edgar’s son and heir, becomes a target for Heathcliff’s resentment and a pawn in his intricate scheme for retribution.
Jealousy and Possessiveness: Heathcliff’s deep-seated jealousy of Edgar fuels his animosity towards Linton. He sees Linton as a constant reminder of Catherine’s choice to marry another, a choice that wounded his pride and denied him the love he craved. Catherine confirms this jealousy when she tells Isabella, “you wished me away, because you knew I liked to be there!” [1]. This statement reveals that Catherine recognizes Heathcliff’s discomfort and resentment when she interacts with Linton.
Fear of Losing Catherine’s Affection: Heathcliff, though harboring a twisted sense of love, fears that Catherine’s affections might genuinely shift towards Linton, further diminishing his own hold over her. As Linton grows older and becomes more involved in Catherine’s life, Heathcliff perceives a threat to his position as the central figure in her heart. He expresses this fear to Nelly, saying, “If I imagined you really wished me to marry Isabel, I’d cut my throat!” [2], highlighting his desperation to remain the primary object of Catherine’s attention.
Control and Manipulation: Heathcliff seeks to control Catherine’s interactions with Linton as a means of asserting dominance over both of them. By limiting their contact, he can manipulate their emotions and exploit their vulnerabilities, furthering his own agenda. He leverages his position as Linton’s father to dictate the terms of their meetings, as seen when he tells Catherine, “I want her to see Linton” [3], emphasizing his desire to orchestrate their encounters.
Revenge Against Edgar: Linton, as Edgar’s son, represents everything Heathcliff despises about the Linton family: wealth, social standing, and the life Catherine chose over him. By targeting Linton, Heathcliff aims to inflict pain on Edgar and undermine his happiness, achieving a twisted sense of satisfaction. Catherine states that Heathcliff “is a most diabolical man, delighting to wrong and ruin those he hates” [4], revealing her understanding of the vengeful nature behind his actions.
A Twisted Sense of Love: Paradoxically, Heathcliff’s desire to control Catherine’s interactions with Linton might also be, in part, a distorted expression of his love for her. He seeks to isolate her from the influence of the Lintons, attempting to draw her back into the world of Wuthering Heights and reassert their shared past. He makes it clear that he wants to sever all ties between Catherine and the Grange, saying “we are eternally divided; and should she really wish to oblige me, let her persuade the villain she has married to leave the country” [5].
Heathcliff’s objections to Catherine spending time with Linton reveal the depths of his possessiveness, his relentless pursuit of revenge, and the complexities of his twisted love for Catherine. His actions, driven by a desire to control and manipulate those around him, demonstrate the destructive power of unrequited love and the lasting impact of past grievances.
Protective Measures: Why Catherine Is Forbidden from Seeing Linton
After Heathcliff learns of Linton’s illness, Catherine is forbidden from seeing him due to Edgar’s protective instincts and his deep mistrust of Heathcliff. Edgar’s decision is driven by a combination of factors:
Concern for Catherine’s Well-being: Edgar worries about the impact of Linton’s illness on Catherine’s emotional state. He knows she is already burdened with grief over her own mother’s death and the loss of her close bond with Heathcliff. Exposing her to Linton’s fragile health and potential demise could exacerbate her emotional distress, hindering her own recovery. As Nelly notes, Edgar instructs her to “keep her with me. It was enough if he were obliged to see her once or twice a day” [1], demonstrating his concern for Catherine’s well-being and desire to shield her from unnecessary pain.
Distrust of Heathcliff’s Motives: Edgar harbors deep suspicion towards Heathcliff’s intentions, believing him to be a manipulative and malevolent individual capable of using Linton’s illness to his advantage. He fears that Heathcliff might exploit the situation to gain further control over Catherine or manipulate her into actions that would ultimately harm her. This is consistent with our previous conversation where we discussed Heathcliff’s history of exploiting weaknesses in others and his calculated cruelty towards those he seeks to control.
Protecting Catherine from Heathcliff’s Influence: Edgar aims to protect Catherine from the negative influence of Heathcliff, whom he sees as a corrupting force in her life. He understands the depth of Catherine’s feelings for Heathcliff and wants to prevent her from being drawn back into his orbit, believing it would lead to her unhappiness and jeopardize her future well-being. In our previous conversation, we noted that Edgar fears Heathcliff will poison Catherine’s mind against him, which is a valid concern given Heathcliff’s manipulative nature and desire to alienate Catherine from her husband.
Belief in Heathcliff’s Malice: Edgar is convinced of Heathcliff’s inherently malicious nature, as evidenced by his past treatment of Isabella and his general disregard for the well-being of others. He assumes that Heathcliff will exploit Linton’s illness for his own gain, potentially neglecting his son’s needs or using him as a bargaining chip in his ongoing conflict with the Linton family. This belief is further reinforced by Nelly’s observations of Heathcliff’s behavior, as she describes him as “a most diabolical man, delighting to wrong and ruin those he hates” [2].
Edgar’s decision to forbid Catherine from seeing Linton stems from a protective instinct to shield his daughter from emotional distress, Heathcliff’s manipulative tactics, and the potential for further harm. While his actions might appear restrictive, they are driven by genuine concern for Catherine’s well-being and a deep-seated mistrust of Heathcliff’s motives.
The Complexity of Catherine’s Rejection of Hareton’s Peace-Offering
Catherine’s rejection of the terrier puppy offered by Hareton stems from a confluence of factors, reflecting her internal struggles with social class, pride, and her own evolving feelings towards Hareton.
Social Class and Pride: Catherine, raised in the refined environment of Thrushcross Grange, has internalized a sense of social superiority over Hareton, whom she views as rough and uncultured. This class-consciousness is exacerbated by her father’s prejudice against the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights and her own initial aversion to Hareton’s lack of manners and education. When first introduced to Hareton, she reacts with “a scornful laugh” and openly weeps at “the bare notion of relationship with such a clown” [1]. At this point, she sees the terrier, symbolic of Hareton’s world, as beneath her and unworthy of her acceptance.
Hurt Feelings and Resentment: Catherine’s rejection is also a reaction to the previous insults and hurtful language directed towards her by Hareton. Earlier, he had refused to help her, angrily declaring “I’ll see thee damned before I be THY servant!” [2]. This, coupled with his other rude remarks, wounded her pride and made her wary of accepting any gesture of goodwill from him. She feels deeply insulted by his behavior, especially since she is accustomed to being treated with adoration and affection by everyone at the Grange.
A Shift in Dynamics: While initially repulsed by Hareton, Catherine’s feelings begin to evolve as she spends more time at Wuthering Heights. She develops a grudging respect for his strength and loyalty, and even experiences moments of sympathy for his difficult upbringing. However, her pride and past hurts make it difficult for her to fully accept him, leading to a complex push and pull dynamic between them. The terrier, offered at this transitional point, represents a potential bridge between them, but Catherine is not yet ready to fully embrace it.
The Significance of the Dogs: The choice of a dog as a peace offering is significant. Dogs are often seen as symbols of loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love. By offering the terrier, Hareton is unknowingly expressing a desire for connection and acceptance from Catherine. However, Catherine, still grappling with her own internal conflicts, misinterprets his gesture and sees it as an extension of his previous disrespect rather than an attempt at reconciliation.
Catherine’s rejection of the terrier puppy highlights the intricate interplay of social conditioning, personal pride, and evolving emotions that shape her relationship with Hareton. This seemingly small act reveals the deeper complexities of their interactions and foreshadows the challenges they will face in overcoming their past hurts and forging a genuine connection.
From Scorn to Affection: The Evolution of Catherine and Hareton’s Relationship
Catherine’s relationship with Hareton undergoes a significant transformation, evolving from initial disdain and animosity to a deep and genuine affection. This shift occurs gradually, influenced by changing circumstances, shared experiences, and the gradual erosion of social barriers.
Early Scorn and Class Prejudice: In the beginning, Catherine views Hareton with contempt, influenced by her upbringing at Thrushcross Grange and her perception of social hierarchy. She sees him as rough, uncultured, and unworthy of her attention. This initial disdain is evident in her reaction to discovering their kinship, where she “stopped, and wept outright; upset at the bare notion of relationship with such a clown” [1]. This early phase is marked by insults, misunderstandings, and a clear social divide between them.
Forced Proximity and Shifting Perspectives: As Catherine spends more time at Wuthering Heights, forced by circumstances and her own stubborn nature, she begins to see Hareton in a different light. Their shared experiences, particularly the neglect and cruelty inflicted upon them by Heathcliff, create a bond of understanding and empathy. Catherine witnesses Hareton’s mistreatment firsthand, recognizing the “bitter contempt” Heathcliff directs towards his son [2]. This shared suffering softens Catherine’s initial prejudice and allows her to see Hareton as a victim rather than a villain.
Catherine’s Efforts at Reconciliation: Recognizing Hareton’s inherent goodness beneath his rough exterior, Catherine initiates attempts at reconciliation. She seeks to bridge the gap between them, offering kindness and understanding despite his initial rejections. This shift in her attitude is evident in her decision to gift Hareton a book, accompanied by an offer to teach him to read [3]. This act of generosity signifies her desire to connect with him on an intellectual level and help him improve himself.
Shared Learning and Mutual Respect: Catherine’s willingness to teach Hareton to read becomes a turning point in their relationship. As they spend time together, poring over books and sharing knowledge, mutual respect and admiration blossom. Hareton’s “brightening mind brightened his features, and added spirit and nobility to their aspect” [4], demonstrating the positive impact of Catherine’s influence. This shared learning experience breaks down the remaining social barriers between them and fosters a genuine connection based on intellectual curiosity and shared goals.
A Love Story Blossoms: The sources conclude with a strong indication of a budding romance between Catherine and Hareton. Their shared adversity, combined with their growing affection and mutual respect, lays the foundation for a deep and lasting love. Nelly predicts their eventual union, stating that “the crown of all my wishes will be the union of those two” [5]. This anticipated marriage symbolizes the ultimate triumph over social prejudice and the healing power of love in the face of past trauma.
The development of Catherine and Hareton’s relationship reflects the transformative power of empathy, shared experiences, and the willingness to look beyond superficial differences. Their journey from scorn to love highlights the complexities of human connection and the possibility of finding solace and happiness in unexpected places.
Roots of Resentment: Exploring the Source of Hindley’s Hatred for Heathcliff
Hindley Earnshaw’s resentment towards Heathcliff stems from a complex interplay of jealousy, insecurity, and a perceived threat to his position within the family. The sources highlight several key factors that contribute to his deep-seated animosity.
Heathcliff’s Arrival and Favoritism: From the moment Heathcliff enters the Earnshaw household, he disrupts the established family dynamics. Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley’s father, takes a peculiar liking to the “sullen, patient child,” showering him with affection and preferential treatment. This favoritism breeds immediate resentment in Hindley, who sees Heathcliff as an intruder vying for his father’s love and attention. As Nelly recounts, Hindley begins to see his father “as an oppressor rather than a friend, and Heathcliff as a usurper of his parent’s affections and his privileges.” [1]
Heathcliff’s Stoicism and Endurance: Heathcliff’s stoic nature further fuels Hindley’s ire. He endures Hindley’s physical and emotional abuse with remarkable resilience, never complaining or seeking retribution. This “endurance made old Earnshaw furious,” further solidifying his favoritism towards Heathcliff and deepening Hindley’s sense of injustice. [2] Hindley, perhaps projecting his own insecurities, interprets Heathcliff’s stoicism as a calculated attempt to gain sympathy and manipulate his father. This perception of manipulation only intensifies his hatred and desire to expose Heathcliff’s perceived weakness.
Competition and Jealousy: As the boys grow older, their rivalry intensifies. They compete for attention, affection, and a sense of belonging within the family. Heathcliff’s close bond with Catherine, Hindley’s sister, further exacerbates his jealousy, as he sees Heathcliff encroaching on yet another cherished relationship. Episodes like the horse exchange, where Heathcliff cleverly manipulates Hindley into giving him the better colt, exemplify the power dynamics at play and further fuel Hindley’s frustration and bitterness. [3]
Mr. Earnshaw’s Death and Hindley’s Ascension: Upon Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Hindley assumes control of Wuthering Heights, allowing his resentment towards Heathcliff to manifest fully. He relegates Heathcliff to the status of a servant, forcing him to perform menial labor and denying him access to education and social interaction. This act of revenge, fueled by years of pent-up anger and jealousy, highlights Hindley’s desire to assert dominance and punish Heathcliff for the perceived injustices of his childhood. [4]
A Self-Destructive Spiral: Hindley’s resentment, however, consumes him, leading to a path of self-destruction marked by alcohol abuse, gambling, and neglect of his responsibilities. His downward spiral contrasts sharply with Heathcliff’s calculated rise to power, further emphasizing the contrasting personalities and motivations of the two men. While Hindley wallows in bitterness and self-pity, Heathcliff strategically exploits the situation to his advantage, ultimately usurping Hindley’s authority and claiming Wuthering Heights as his own.
Hindley’s resentment towards Heathcliff is a potent force that shapes the narrative of the sources. It stems from a childhood marked by perceived favoritism, competition, and jealousy. Hindley’s inability to cope with these emotions leads to a destructive path that ultimately culminates in his downfall, allowing Heathcliff to seize control and perpetuate the cycle of pain and vengeance that defines the world of Wuthering Heights.
Catherine’s Endeavors to Improve Hareton’s Life
While Catherine initially harbors a strong aversion towards Hareton, viewing him as rough and uncultured, a shift occurs in her attitude as she becomes increasingly aware of his mistreatment by Heathcliff and recognizes his inherent goodness. She embarks on several attempts to improve his life, primarily through education and kindness, aiming to elevate him both intellectually and socially.
Challenging Heathcliff’s Neglect: Catherine openly opposes Heathcliff’s deliberate neglect of Hareton’s education. When she learns that Hareton is denied basic literacy skills, she expresses her disapproval, questioning, “And the curate does not teach you to read and write, then?” This direct challenge to Heathcliff’s authority demonstrates her willingness to advocate for Hareton’s well-being, even at the risk of incurring her father-in-law’s wrath.
Offering Education and Encouragement: Catherine takes it upon herself to bridge the educational gap created by Heathcliff’s negligence. She gifts Hareton a book, accompanied by a genuine offer to teach him to read, stating, “And tell him, if he’ll take it, I’ll come and teach him to read it right“. This act of generosity signifies her desire to empower Hareton with knowledge and help him overcome the limitations imposed by his upbringing. She persists in her efforts despite Hareton’s initial resistance, demonstrating her commitment to his intellectual growth.
Promoting Social Interaction and Kindness: Catherine actively encourages Hareton to engage in social interaction, recognizing the detrimental effects of his isolation. She invites him to join her and Nelly for tea, promotes conversations between them, and even attempts to mediate between him and Joseph, recognizing the need for positive relationships in his life. She also encourages Hareton to improve his manners and appearance, subtly guiding him towards a more refined demeanor. These actions reveal her belief in Hareton’s potential for social development and her desire to integrate him into a more civilized world.
Inspiring Change through Example: Catherine’s own behavior serves as a model for Hareton, demonstrating the qualities of kindness, empathy, and intellectual curiosity. She displays patience and understanding in her interactions with him, gradually earning his trust and respect. Her willingness to engage with him on an intellectual level, sharing books and knowledge, sparks a desire for self-improvement within Hareton, leading him to seek further learning opportunities. As Nelly observes, “his brightening mind brightened his features, and added spirit and nobility to their aspect“, highlighting the transformative power of Catherine’s influence.
Fostering a Loving Relationship: While the sources do not explicitly state the full extent of their relationship’s development, there are strong indications of a budding romance between Catherine and Hareton. This potential for love and companionship offers the greatest hope for Hareton’s future happiness and well-being. Their shared experiences of adversity and their growing mutual affection create a powerful bond that has the potential to heal the wounds of the past and break the cycle of cruelty and revenge that has plagued Wuthering Heights.
Catherine’s attempts to improve Hareton’s life, though often met with resistance and hindered by Heathcliff’s manipulation, demonstrate her compassion, her belief in Hareton’s inherent worth, and her unwavering determination to create a better future for him. Her efforts, ultimately culminating in their blossoming romance, represent a beacon of hope and the possibility of redemption within the otherwise bleak and unforgiving world of Wuthering Heights.
Catherine’s Claimed Source of Unhappiness: A Complex Interplay of Factors
While Catherine Linton expresses unhappiness in the sources, she doesn’t explicitly pinpoint a single, primary cause. Her distress stems from a combination of factors, often intertwined and shifting depending on the context.
Illness and Confinement: During her periods of physical illness, Catherine frequently cites her confinement and weakness as sources of misery. For instance, during her first serious illness after marrying Edgar, she laments, “Oh, dear! I’m very unhappy!” [1]. This unhappiness seems tied to her inability to move freely and engage in her usual activities. Later, when bedridden after a confrontation with Heathcliff, she fixates on “this shattered prison, after all,” expressing a longing to “escape into that glorious world” [2]. This suggests that physical limitations exacerbate her emotional distress.
Heathcliff’s Absence and Rejection: Catherine’s profound emotional attachment to Heathcliff figures prominently in her unhappiness. His absence, particularly after she chooses to marry Edgar, leaves a deep void. She mourns his departure, cries over their lost connection, and fantasizes about their reunion, even in death. She expresses frustration at his coldness and unwillingness to comfort her, as seen in her desperate plea, “Oh, you see, Nelly, he would not relent a moment to keep me out of the grave. THAT is how I’m loved!” [2]. These instances suggest that Heathcliff’s rejection and unavailability contribute significantly to her emotional turmoil.
Internal Conflict and Guilt: Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar, while motivated by social and financial aspirations, creates a deep internal conflict. She recognizes the incompatibility between her passionate nature and Edgar’s more temperate disposition, acknowledging that she has “no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven” [3]. This internal struggle, coupled with the guilt of betraying her heart and potentially hurting both Heathcliff and Edgar, likely contributes to her overall unhappiness.
Manipulation and Control: It’s important to note that Catherine often expresses her unhappiness in dramatic and manipulative ways, particularly in front of Edgar and Nelly. Her declarations of misery might be partially motivated by a desire for attention, sympathy, or control over others. This tendency towards manipulation makes it difficult to discern the genuine depth and root of her unhappiness, adding complexity to her emotional landscape.
Ultimately, Catherine’s claimed unhappiness is a multifaceted and evolving state, influenced by a complex interplay of physical limitations, unrequited love, internal conflict, and potentially manipulative tendencies. The sources offer glimpses into her emotional turmoil but stop short of providing a definitive explanation for its primary source.
Isabella’s Declared Source of Unhappiness: A Brutally Honest Assessment
Isabella Linton is quite explicit about the root of her unhappiness: her marriage to Heathcliff. Throughout her letters and her interactions with Nelly, she paints a stark and brutal picture of her life at Wuthering Heights, detailing Heathcliff’s cruelty, her own disillusionment, and the utter lack of love within their union.
Heathcliff’s Abusive Nature: Isabella quickly realizes the error of her romanticized perception of Heathcliff. She describes him as a “fiend,” a “brute beast,” and an “incarnate goblin,” highlighting his cruel and abusive behavior. She reveals his physical violence, his emotional manipulation, and his complete disregard for her feelings. He hangs her dog to assert his dominance, threatens her with further violence, and constantly berates and belittles her, crushing her spirit and leaving her feeling utterly wretched.
Absence of Love and Affection: Isabella suffers deeply from the absence of love and affection in her marriage. She acknowledges that her love for Heathcliff was unreciprocated, stating, “I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death, and flung it back to me“. This lack of emotional connection leaves her feeling isolated, unvalued, and deeply unhappy.
Isolation and Neglect: Isabella’s life at Wuthering Heights is characterized by isolation and neglect. She is cut off from her family and friends, trapped in a hostile environment where she receives no support or kindness. She describes the atmosphere as “dreary” and “dismal,” reflecting her own emotional state. Even after she gives birth to Linton, Heathcliff shows no interest in either her or the child, further deepening her sense of loneliness and despair.
Regret and Self-Blame: Isabella feels intense regret for her decision to marry Heathcliff, recognizing her own naivety and foolishness in believing his deceptive facade. She calls herself a “fool” and acknowledges that she has “been a fool!“. This self-blame adds to her burden of unhappiness, as she grapples with the consequences of her misguided choices.
Loss of Hope and Future Prospects: Isabella’s marriage to Heathcliff robs her of any hope for a happy future. She recognizes that she is trapped in a loveless and abusive relationship, with no prospect of escape or improvement. This bleak outlook intensifies her feelings of despair and contributes to her overall unhappiness.
Isabella’s descriptions of her married life leave no room for ambiguity. She directly and repeatedly attributes her unhappiness to her union with Heathcliff, detailing his abusive behavior, her emotional isolation, and the utter lack of love within their relationship. Her experience stands as a stark warning against romanticizing dangerous individuals and highlights the devastating consequences of entering into a relationship devoid of genuine affection and respect.
Catherine’s Varied Reactions to Linton’s Illness
Catherine’s reactions to Linton’s illness evolve throughout the story, shifting from initial indifference to concern, pity, frustration, and eventually a sense of protectiveness.
Early Indifference: In the early stages of their acquaintance, Catherine shows little concern for Linton’s well-being. When he is brought to Thrushcross Grange after being bitten by her dog, she focuses more on her own discomfort, complaining about her headache and wanting to go out to the moors [1]. She doesn’t express sympathy for Linton’s injury or inquire about his condition.
Growing Concern and Pity: As Catherine’s relationship with Linton develops, her reactions to his illness become more complex. She expresses concern for him when he is upset after an encounter with Heathcliff, even refusing to eat her dinner due to worry [2]. She also demonstrates pity for his weakness and fragility, as seen in her interactions with him at Wuthering Heights when she tries to comfort and care for him [3, 4].
Frustration and Annoyance: Catherine’s concern for Linton is often overshadowed by frustration and annoyance at his peevish and demanding behavior. His constant complaints, fragility, and need for attention try her patience. She finds his lack of spirit and energy tiresome, especially when compared to the vitality and passion she associates with Heathcliff [5]. This frustration is evident in her sharp retorts and her attempts to distance herself from his negativity [6].
Protective Instinct: Despite her frustration, Catherine develops a protective instinct towards Linton. She defends him against Hareton’s teasing and tries to shield him from his father’s harshness [7, 8]. She feels responsible for his well-being and is determined to help him, even going against her father’s wishes to visit him at Wuthering Heights [9]. This protectiveness stems from a combination of pity, a sense of duty, and perhaps a residual affection for him.
Grief and Acceptance: In the final stages of Linton’s illness, Catherine experiences a profound sense of grief and helplessness. She recognizes the inevitability of his decline and accepts his fate with a heavy heart [10]. She mourns his passing and reflects on the complexities of their relationship, ultimately acknowledging the love she held for him despite their differences.
It’s worth noting that Catherine’s reactions to Linton’s illness are often intertwined with her feelings for Heathcliff. Her frustration with Linton’s weakness is partly fueled by her longing for Heathcliff’s strength and passion. Similarly, her protectiveness towards Linton might be seen as a way of indirectly expressing her love for Heathcliff, as Linton represents a connection to him. This complex interplay of emotions adds another layer to Catherine’s responses to Linton’s declining health.
Catherine and Linton: A Complex Relationship Web
Catherine’s relationship to Linton is multifaceted and evolves throughout the story, encompassing familial ties, romantic interest, pity, and a sense of duty. It’s also significantly shaped by her deep emotional connection to Heathcliff, Linton’s father.
Cousins by Marriage: Catherine and Linton are cousins through marriage. Catherine marries Edgar Linton, while Linton is the son of Heathcliff and Isabella Linton, Edgar’s sister [1]. Their connection is further complicated by the fact that Heathcliff and Catherine shared a passionate but ultimately unfulfilled love for each other [2, 3]. This backstory adds a layer of tension and unspoken emotions to their interactions.
Initially Distant: At the beginning of their acquaintance, Catherine and Linton are distant and somewhat indifferent to each other. Catherine, still grieving the loss of Heathcliff and preoccupied with her own life, doesn’t pay much attention to Linton’s arrival at Thrushcross Grange [4]. Linton, on the other hand, is sickly and withdrawn, struggling to adjust to his new surroundings and the loss of his mother [5, 6].
Developing Relationship: As they spend more time together, a relationship begins to develop, though it remains complex and somewhat strained. Catherine, encouraged by her father to be kind to her ailing cousin, makes efforts to engage with Linton [7]. She attempts to befriend him, showing him affection and trying to entertain him [8, 9]. However, Linton’s peevish and demanding nature, along with his obvious resentment towards her for her past indifference, often frustrate Catherine [10, 11].
Heathcliff’s Manipulation: The dynamics of their relationship are heavily influenced by Heathcliff’s manipulative schemes. Recognizing Linton’s frailty and Catherine’s compassionate nature, Heathcliff orchestrates situations to force them together [12, 13]. He uses Linton’s declining health and emotional vulnerability to manipulate Catherine, hoping to secure his son’s inheritance and exert control over both of them [14, 15].
Forced Proximity and Marriage: Through a combination of Linton’s pleas, Heathcliff’s coercion, and Catherine’s own sense of duty, she ends up effectively trapped at Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff exploits the situation to force a marriage between Catherine and Linton, despite their lack of genuine affection for each other [16].
Love and Pity: Despite the circumstances of their marriage, Catherine does develop some level of affection for Linton. She pities his weakness and vulnerability, recognizing his difficult upbringing and the harsh treatment he endures from his father [17]. She tries to be a supportive wife, attending to his needs and offering him companionship [18, 19]. While her love for Linton might not match the passionate intensity of her feelings for Heathcliff, it is nonetheless genuine and stems from a combination of pity, a sense of responsibility, and perhaps a residual fondness for the boy she once tried to befriend.
In the end, Catherine’s relationship with Linton is a tragic blend of circumstance, manipulation, and genuine emotion. It highlights the destructive impact of Heathcliff’s machinations on those around him and the complex ways in which love, pity, and duty can intertwine in the face of adversity.
Examining Emily Brontë’s Writing Style
While the sources provided are excerpts from Wuthering Heights, they offer insights into Brontë’s writing style, particularly her adept use of:
Strong Narrative Voice: Brontë employs a distinctive narrative voice, primarily through the character of Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, who recounts the tumultuous events of the novel. Nelly’s voice is engaging, insightful, and often infused with dry humor. For instance, she interrupts her own retelling to acknowledge the lateness of the hour and the possibility of boring her listener, Mr. Lockwood [1]. This self-awareness and direct address to the reader create a sense of intimacy and immediacy, drawing the audience into the narrative.
Detailed Descriptions: Brontë’s writing is rich with vivid descriptions, painting a clear picture of both the characters and the settings. In the opening chapter, the reader is introduced to Wuthering Heights, a dark and imposing structure that reflects the turbulent emotions of its inhabitants [2, 3]. Brontë meticulously describes the house’s architectural features, from the “narrow windows” and “jutting stones” to the “grotesque carving” over the door [3]. These details establish a sense of place and atmosphere, immersing the reader in the bleak and unforgiving world of the novel.
Layered Characterization: Brontë crafts complex and compelling characters, revealing their personalities through actions, dialogue, and the observations of others. Heathcliff, the brooding and enigmatic protagonist, is introduced through the eyes of Lockwood, who is both drawn to and repelled by his mysterious nature [2]. Nelly Dean, the primary narrator, provides further insights into Heathcliff’s character, exposing his cruelty, his deep-seated pain, and his unwavering love for Catherine [4, 5]. This layered approach to characterization allows the reader to gradually understand the motivations and complexities of the individuals who populate the novel’s world.
Exploration of Intense Emotions:Wuthering Heights is a novel driven by powerful emotions: love, hate, revenge, jealousy, and despair. Brontë captures these intense feelings through her characters’ actions and dialogue, creating a charged and often unsettling atmosphere. For example, Catherine’s declaration of love for Heathcliff is raw, passionate, and infused with a sense of longing and despair [6, 7]. This willingness to explore the depths of human emotion gives the novel its enduring power and resonance.
Use of Symbolism and Foreshadowing: Brontë weaves symbolism and foreshadowing into her narrative, adding layers of meaning and creating a sense of foreboding. The wild and untamed moors surrounding Wuthering Heights serve as a symbol of the untamed passions and destructive forces that drive the story [8, 9]. Dreams and ghostly apparitions, like Catherine’s haunting presence at Lockwood’s window, foreshadow future events and suggest the enduring power of the past [10, 11]. These elements add a layer of mystery and complexity to the novel, prompting the reader to consider the deeper implications of the events unfolding before them.
Yes, Wuthering Heights is a Tragedy of Love
The sources provided strongly support the idea that Wuthering Heights is a tragic love story. The novel centers around the intense, passionate, and ultimately destructive love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Their relationship is marked by a profound connection, described by Catherine as being like two parts of the same soul [1]. However, their love is thwarted by societal expectations, class differences, and their own volatile personalities, leading to a series of tragic events that ripple through generations.
Here’s why Wuthering Heights can be considered a tragedy of love:
Unfulfilled Love: The novel is steeped in the pain of unrequited and unfulfilled love. Catherine, torn between her love for Heathcliff and her desire for a comfortable life, chooses to marry Edgar Linton [2]. This decision devastates Heathcliff and sets in motion a chain of events fueled by his desire for revenge and his longing for Catherine. Even after Catherine’s death, Heathcliff remains consumed by his love for her, unable to find peace or move on [3-5].
Destructive Passion: The intensity of Catherine and Heathcliff’s love becomes a destructive force, not only for themselves but also for those around them. Their volatile relationship is marked by jealousy, possessiveness, and fits of rage. Heathcliff’s thirst for revenge, fueled by his grief and anger over losing Catherine, poisons the lives of everyone at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. He manipulates and torments those around him, perpetuating a cycle of pain and suffering.
Loss and Death:Death is a recurring motif in the novel, underscoring the tragic consequences of unfulfilled love and unbridled passion. Catherine’s death in childbirth is a pivotal event that shatters Heathcliff and casts a long shadow over the rest of the story. Her passing is followed by the deaths of several other characters, including Linton, Isabella, Hindley, and eventually Heathcliff himself. The prevalence of death reinforces the novel’s bleak and tragic atmosphere.
Social Constraints:Societal expectations and class differences play a significant role in hindering Catherine and Heathcliff’s relationship. Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar is partly driven by her desire for social advancement and a more comfortable life [2, 6]. Heathcliff’s status as an orphan and an outsider further complicates their love. He is seen as beneath Catherine by her family and society, and his lack of social standing makes it impossible for them to be together openly.
Cycles of Abuse and Revenge: Heathcliff’s mistreatment at the hands of Hindley, fueled by jealousy and resentment, sets a precedent for the cycles of abuse and revenge that permeate the novel. Heathcliff, in turn, becomes a cruel and vindictive figure, perpetuating the cycle of pain he endured. His actions, though motivated by his love for Catherine, create a legacy of suffering that impacts the next generation, including his son Linton and Catherine’s daughter Cathy.
Lack of Redemption: The novel offers little hope for redemption or reconciliation. The characters, trapped in their own cycles of pain and resentment, find it difficult to break free from the past. Even in death, Heathcliff remains a haunting presence, unable to find peace. The absence of a clear resolution or happy ending underscores the tragic nature of the story.
The excerpts from Wuthering Heights reveal the destructive nature of love when it is thwarted by social constraints and poisoned by revenge. Brontë’s writing effectively captures the intense emotions and tragic consequences that arise from these circumstances, making it a powerful and enduring example of a tragic love story.
Joseph: The Voice of Harsh Judgment in Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë utilizes the character of Joseph, the elderly servant at Wuthering Heights, as a vehicle for conveying a rigid and often hypocritical sense of moral judgment. Joseph embodies a strict, fire-and-brimstone religious perspective, constantly scrutinizing the actions of others and finding them wanting. However, his own behavior often contradicts his pronouncements, revealing the hypocrisy that underscores his pronouncements.
Constant Reprimands: Throughout the sources, Joseph is shown to be quick to criticize and condemn those around him. He berates Heathcliff for his “wickedness” and predicts divine retribution for his actions [1]. He labels Catherine a “castaway” and threatens her with supernatural punishment [2]. Even the young Hareton is not spared from Joseph’s harsh judgments; the old servant condemns his behavior and takes a perverse satisfaction in seeing the boy’s “soul abandoned to perdition” [3]. This relentless criticism establishes Joseph as a figure who sees himself as the moral arbiter of Wuthering Heights, constantly measuring others against his own rigid standards.
Religious Language and Biblical References: Joseph’s judgments are often couched in religious language and allusions to scripture. He frequently invokes the name of the Lord, both in his condemnations and in his expressions of self-righteousness. He refers to the “red cow” that died and suggests that it was a sign of divine judgment [1]. He quotes scripture to support his claims and uses biblical imagery to paint a picture of damnation for those who transgress his moral code [4, 5]. This use of religious language emphasizes Joseph’s belief in his own righteousness and his authority to judge others.
Hypocrisy and Self-Righteousness: While Joseph is quick to condemn others, his own behavior often reveals a deep sense of hypocrisy. He enjoys gossiping and spreading rumors, as Nelly Dean points out when she recounts his tale of Heathcliff’s “fine living” at the Grange [5]. He shows a marked preference for Hareton, favoring him over Linton despite the latter’s frailty and need for care [6]. This favoritism stems from Hareton’s connection to the “ancient stock” of the Earnshaw family, revealing Joseph’s own prejudices and his willingness to overlook certain behaviors based on lineage [7]. This hypocrisy undermines Joseph’s claims of moral authority and highlights the flawed nature of his judgment.
Impact on Others: Joseph’s constant negativity and judgment have a profound impact on the inhabitants of Wuthering Heights. His pronouncements contribute to the atmosphere of tension and conflict that permeates the household. His harsh words, particularly those directed at Heathcliff and Catherine, likely exacerbate their own feelings of guilt and shame, further fueling their destructive behaviors. His influence on the young Hareton is particularly damaging, as Joseph encourages the boy’s brutishness and reinforces his sense of inferiority [8].
While Joseph might see himself as upholding moral standards, his methods are often cruel, hypocritical, and ultimately destructive. Brontë uses his character to explore the dangers of rigid moral judgment and the hypocrisy that can lurk beneath a veneer of piety.
Isabella’s Desperate Flight from Wuthering Heights
Isabella’s escape from Wuthering Heights is a dramatic event driven by fear, desperation, and a growing awareness of the true nature of her husband, Heathcliff. The sources paint a vivid picture of the events leading up to her flight, revealing the abusive and manipulative environment she endured, her growing disillusionment with Heathcliff, and the courageous act that finally set her free.
A Loveless and Abusive Marriage: Isabella’s marriage to Heathcliff was a disastrous mismatch from the start. She entered the union blinded by infatuation, seeing in Heathcliff a romantic hero. However, the reality of their relationship was far different. Heathcliff, consumed by his unrequited love for Catherine and his thirst for revenge, treated Isabella with cruelty and disdain. He openly admitted to Nelly Dean that he did not love Isabella, and his actions reflected this lack of affection [1]. He belittled her, ignored her pleas, and subjected her to verbal and emotional abuse [1]. He even went so far as to hang her beloved dog, Fanny, as a demonstration of his power and indifference to her feelings [1].
Escalating Tension and Violence: The sources reveal a gradual escalation of tension and violence at Wuthering Heights, culminating in a physical altercation that triggers Isabella’s decision to flee. During a meal, Heathcliff, angered by Isabella’s presence and her attempts to engage with him, throws a dinner knife at her head [2]. This act of violence, witnessed by Nelly Dean, underscores the danger Isabella faced and the volatile nature of Heathcliff’s temper.
A Daring Escape: In a moment of desperation and fueled by adrenaline, Isabella seizes the opportunity to escape while Heathcliff is momentarily distracted. She runs from the house, fleeing across the moors with no clear destination in mind [2]. Her flight is a testament to her courage and her determination to break free from the oppressive and abusive environment of Wuthering Heights. Nelly Dean later discovers Fanny, Isabella’s dog, hanging from a bridle hook, suggesting that Heathcliff attempted to prevent Isabella’s escape by harming her pet [3]. This detail further highlights the lengths to which Heathcliff was willing to go to exert control and the danger Isabella faced in remaining at his mercy.
Seeking Refuge at the Grange: Isabella, battered and exhausted, eventually finds her way to Thrushcross Grange, seeking refuge with her brother, Edgar Linton [4]. Her appearance is a shock to Nelly Dean, who describes her as “panting and holding her hand to her side,” having “run the whole way from Wuthering Heights” [4]. Isabella’s desperate flight and her injuries serve as physical evidence of the trauma she has endured.
Consequences and Aftermath: Isabella’s escape has significant consequences for all involved. She effectively cuts ties with Heathcliff, refusing to return to Wuthering Heights [2]. Her brother, Edgar, though initially shocked and angered by her decision to marry Heathcliff, eventually comes to understand the circumstances of her flight and offers her support [5, 6]. Heathcliff, though seemingly unfazed by Isabella’s departure, harbors resentment towards her and forbids her from seeing her brother [7]. Isabella, despite the trauma she has endured, eventually finds a measure of peace and independence, establishing a new life for herself away from the shadow of Wuthering Heights [6]. She never forgets the horrors she experienced, however, and she instills in her son, Linton, a deep fear of his father [7, 8].
Isabella’s escape from Wuthering Heights is a pivotal moment in the novel. It underscores the destructive nature of Heathcliff’s character, exposes the toxic environment that prevailed at the Heights, and marks a turning point in Isabella’s life as she chooses to reclaim her freedom and forge a new path for herself.
Edgar’s Profound Grief: The Impact of Catherine’s Illness and Death
Catherine’s illness and death have a devastating effect on Edgar Linton. He descends into a deep and consuming grief that transforms his personality and shapes the remaining years of his life. The sources illustrate the different facets of his grief, from his desperate attempts to save Catherine’s life to his long-lasting sorrow and the ways he seeks solace and meaning after her passing.
Unwavering Devotion and Care: Throughout Catherine’s illness, Edgar displays unwavering devotion and care, putting her needs above his own. Nelly Dean notes that he tends to her constantly, “watching, and patiently enduring all the annoyances that irritable nerves and a shaken reason could inflict” [1]. He refuses to give up hope, even when others acknowledge the severity of her condition. His dedication to Catherine during this period highlights the depth of his love and his unwillingness to accept the possibility of losing her.
Despair and Anguish: Catherine’s death plunges Edgar into a state of profound despair and anguish. Nelly describes his grief as “a subject too painful to be dwelt on” [2], suggesting the intensity of his suffering. He spends his days and nights by Catherine’s coffin, unable to tear himself away from her even in death. This behavior reflects his inability to process the loss and his desperate attempts to cling to the last vestiges of her presence.
Transformation and Withdrawal: The sources detail a marked change in Edgar’s personality after Catherine’s death. He becomes withdrawn and reclusive, shunning social interaction and finding solace only in solitude. He gives up his position as magistrate and avoids the village, choosing instead to spend his time in his library or wandering the moors [3]. This self-imposed isolation reflects his profound sense of loss and his inability to engage with the world without Catherine.
Lingering Sorrow and Memories: Despite the passage of time, Edgar’s grief for Catherine does not diminish. He continues to mourn her deeply, finding comfort in memories of their past happiness. He makes regular pilgrimages to her grave, often spending entire nights there, lost in thought [3, 4]. This enduring sorrow underscores the depth of his love for Catherine and the indelible mark her loss left on his soul.
Finding Solace in Religion: In his grief, Edgar turns to religion for solace and meaning. Nelly observes that he “trusted God; and God comforted him” [5], suggesting that he finds a measure of peace in his faith. He contrasts Edgar’s response to grief with Hindley’s descent into despair and self-destruction, implying that Edgar’s belief in God helps him to endure the pain of loss.
Paternal Love and a New Focus: While Edgar’s grief for Catherine never fully abates, he eventually finds a new source of purpose and affection in his daughter, Cathy. He transfers his love and devotion to her, seeing in her a reflection of his lost love. Nelly describes his attachment to Cathy as springing from her “relation to her [Catherine]” [6], suggesting that he sees his daughter as a link to the past and a way to keep Catherine’s memory alive.
Catherine’s illness and death are pivotal events that shatter Edgar’s world. He experiences a profound and lasting grief that transforms him into a solitary and melancholy figure. While he eventually finds some measure of peace in religion and in his love for his daughter, he never fully recovers from the loss of his beloved Catherine.
Here is a 4-bullet summary of Chapter 1 of Wuthering Heights:
The narrator, Lockwood, visits his new landlord, Heathcliff, at Wuthering Heights. He finds Heathcliff to be a brooding, solitary figure who is deeply suspicious of his new tenant. The house is described as gloomy and neglected, populated by a pack of aggressive dogs.
Lockwood, despite feeling unwelcome, is intrigued by Heathcliff and the strange atmosphere of the house. He decides to return for another visit the following day, even though it’s clear Heathcliff doesn’t desire company.
Through Lockwood’s internal monologue, we learn he is a somewhat awkward and self-isolating character. He recounts a recent experience where he scared away a woman he was interested in by becoming cold and distant.
Lockwood’s second visit to Wuthering Heights is also defined by a cold reception. The house is locked up, the servants are unhelpful, and he is forced to wait in a side room until Heathcliff appears. He encounters a young man and a woman, referred to as “the missis,” both of whom offer little warmth to the unexpected guest.
Superstition in Wuthering Heights
Superstition plays a significant role in establishing the atmosphere and influencing character actions in “Wuthering Heights.” The isolated setting, harsh weather, and characters’ belief in ghosts and omens create a world where supernatural forces seem plausible. [1-6]
Lockwood’s initial encounter with Wuthering Heights and its inhabitants highlights the setting’s connection to superstition. He describes the area as a “misanthropist’s heaven,” isolated from society. [1] The house itself, named “Wuthering Heights,” reflects the turbulent and wild nature of the area. [2] Lockwood arrives during a snowstorm, adding to the bleak and eerie atmosphere. [3, 7]
Lockwood experiences a supernatural encounter in what is supposedly Catherine Earnshaw’s old bedroom. He dreams of a ghostly child, identifying herself as Catherine Linton, trying to enter through the window. [4] This dream significantly impacts Lockwood, and his retelling of it to Heathcliff provokes a strong emotional reaction. [5, 8-10]
Heathcliff’s passionate reaction to Lockwood’s dream reveals his own deep-seated belief in the supernatural, particularly concerning Catherine’s spirit. He calls out to her, begging her to return. [5] This incident highlights the enduring power of Catherine’s presence, even in death, over Heathcliff. [5]
Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, also displays superstitious beliefs. She recounts Hindley’s reaction to finding a strange child, Heathcliff, in Liverpool, noting Hindley’s fear that the child was “almost as dark as if it came from the devil.” [11] Additionally, Nelly expresses her own superstition about dreams when Catherine tries to share one with her, refusing to listen because of the potential for a “fearful catastrophe” being revealed. [12]
Joseph, the devout servant, frequently invokes the Lord’s name and sees divine judgment in everyday events. He interprets misfortunes as punishments for sin, as seen in his reaction to the storm damaging Wuthering Heights. [6] He views Heathcliff as a figure of evil and believes he is responsible for Hindley’s decline. [13]
The characters’ superstitious beliefs shape their actions and contribute to the novel’s sense of mystery and foreboding. They provide an underlying tension and contribute to the dark, gothic atmosphere that permeates “Wuthering Heights.”
Description of Wuthering Heights
The sources describe Wuthering Heights as a sturdy house built to withstand harsh weather. [1] Its location on a bleak, exposed hilltop subjects it to strong winds, especially from the north. [1] The name “Wuthering” itself indicates the tumult and atmospheric turbulence the house experiences in stormy conditions. [1]
The building is described as strong, with deep-set, narrow windows and large jutting stones at the corners, all features likely intended to protect it from the harsh elements. [2]
Grotesque carvings adorn the front of the house, particularly around the main door. [2] These carvings include crumbling griffins and “shameless” little boys. [2] The date “1500” and the name “Hareton Earnshaw” are carved above the door. [2]
The house’s interior layout is simple and practical, with the main living space, called “the house,” combining the kitchen and parlor. [3] A separate, unseen area houses the actual kitchen, where food preparation occurs. [3]
The “house” is described as a grand, rustic space. [3, 4]
Immense pewter dishes, silver jugs, and tankards are displayed on a vast oak dresser that reaches the roof. [3]
Oatcakes and various meats hang from a wooden frame near the ceiling. [3]
The fireplace is huge, and above it hang “villainous” old guns, horse-pistols, and three brightly painted canisters. [4]
The floor is made of smooth, white stone. [4]
The chairs are high-backed and painted green, with some “heavy black ones lurking in the shade.” [4]
Various dogs, including a “liver-coloured bitch pointer” with puppies, reside in different parts of the room. [4]
Overall, Wuthering Heights is portrayed as a solid, imposing dwelling, reflective of the wild, rugged landscape and the hardy, often unwelcoming people who inhabit it. [1, 4]
The Contrast of Heathcliff’s Appearance and Lifestyle
Heathcliff’s physical appearance, after his return as an adult, starkly contrasts with the rough and isolated lifestyle he leads at Wuthering Heights.
When Lockwood first encounters Heathcliff, he describes him as having the appearance of a “dark-skinned gypsy,” but his clothing and manners are those of a gentleman [1]. This description suggests that while Heathcliff’s heritage might be humble, he carries himself with a certain refinement and sophistication.
Nelly Dean observes that Heathcliff has transformed into a “tall, athletic, well-formed man” with an “upright carriage” that suggests military experience. His face, while showing signs of his difficult past, is now “intelligent” and devoid of “former degradation”. Nelly even notes a “dignified” air about him [2].
This polished appearance directly clashes with the rough environment and lifestyle he has cultivated at Wuthering Heights.
As discussed in our conversation, the house itself is a stark and imposing structure, exposed to harsh weather on the wild moors.
The interior, while spacious, reflects a rustic and functional aesthetic, far removed from the elegance one might expect from a gentleman.
Heathcliff has allowed the property to fall into disrepair [3], and he prefers the company of the rough farmhand Hareton to anyone else.
The sources also depict Heathcliff as “close-handed” and unwilling to spend money on improving his living situation, even though he has ample wealth [4].
He rents out the more refined Thrushcross Grange while choosing to remain in the dilapidated Wuthering Heights [3].
This miserly behavior seems at odds with his gentlemanly appearance and suggests a deeper psychological complexity.
The contrast between Heathcliff’s appearance and his chosen lifestyle raises questions about his motivations and past experiences.
What events in his life led him to embrace such a harsh existence despite his outward refinement?
Is his rough lifestyle a conscious choice, or is it a reflection of inner turmoil and resentment?
The sources offer clues but don’t explicitly answer these questions, leaving room for interpretation and analysis.
The Impact of Mr. Earnshaw’s Death
Mr. Earnshaw’s death profoundly impacted the lives of both Heathcliff and Catherine, marking a turning point that led to their separation and shaped their destinies.
For Heathcliff:
Mr. Earnshaw’s death brought an abrupt end to the relatively stable and somewhat favored position he held within the family [1, 2].
While never fully accepted, he had found a protector in Mr. Earnshaw, who treated him with kindness and defended him against Hindley’s hostility [2, 3].
Hindley, now the head of the household, wasted no time in asserting his authority over Heathcliff, reducing him to the status of a servant and subjecting him to harsh treatment [4-6].He was denied education, forced to do manual labor, and forbidden from associating with Catherine [6, 7].
This sudden shift in circumstances fueled Heathcliff’s resentment and bitterness towards Hindley [8, 9], setting the stage for his future desire for revenge [10].
The loss of Mr. Earnshaw also meant the loss of a father figure for Heathcliff, who had been orphaned and brought to Wuthering Heights as a young child [1, 2].This further compounded his feelings of isolation and vulnerability in an already hostile environment.
For Catherine:
Mr. Earnshaw’s death deprived Catherine of a loving, if sometimes exasperated, father [11, 12].
He had indulged her wild spirit, even when frustrated by her behavior [11].
His death placed her under the control of Hindley and his new wife, Frances [6].
While initially welcoming, Frances soon tired of Catherine and joined Hindley in restricting her freedom and interactions with Heathcliff [6, 7].
The sources don’t explicitly describe Catherine’s grief for her father, but they suggest a deep sense of loss and a change in her demeanor after his death. [4, 13].She becomes more rebellious and defiant [7], engaging in acts like running away to the moors with Heathcliff [14].
It’s possible that this rebellious behavior is a way of coping with her grief and the newfound restrictions imposed upon her.
The Impact on Their Relationship:
The most significant consequence of Mr. Earnshaw’s death was the wedge it drove between Catherine and Heathcliff.Hindley’s efforts to separate them intensified their bond, forcing them to meet in secret and further solidifying their connection [7, 14].
However, their shared isolation and suffering also planted the seeds of resentment.
Heathcliff’s bitterness over his degradation and Catherine’s frustration with her confinement created tension in their relationship [15].
Ultimately, Mr. Earnshaw’s death set in motion a chain of events that culminated in Catherine’s decision to marry Edgar Linton, leading to a tragic and complex web of love, betrayal, and revenge that drives the narrative of “Wuthering Heights” [16].
The Transformation of Hindley and Heathcliff’s Relationship After Mr. Earnshaw’s Death
The death of Mr. Earnshaw drastically changed the dynamic between Hindley and Heathcliff. Before Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Hindley resented Heathcliff, seeing him as a rival for their father’s affection [1-3]. However, the sources suggest that this resentment was tempered by Mr. Earnshaw’s authority and protection of Heathcliff [4].
With Mr. Earnshaw gone, Hindley, now the master of Wuthering Heights, was free to unleash the full force of his hatred upon Heathcliff [5, 6]. He stripped Heathcliff of his status within the family, reducing him to a servant and denying him an education [6]. Hindley forced Heathcliff to perform hard labor and forbade him from associating with Catherine [6]. He even insisted that Heathcliff be treated as a servant, demanding that he greet Catherine upon her return from the Lintons’ as one would greet a guest [7].
Hindley’s actions towards Heathcliff after their father’s death were not merely cruel but fueled by a desire for revenge [8]. Heathcliff recognizes this, vowing to pay Hindley back for his ill-treatment [8]. The sources suggest that Hindley’s cruelty stemmed from a deep-seated resentment that had festered for years, exacerbated by his jealousy of Heathcliff’s relationship with Catherine and their father [3, 5, 9].
Heathcliff, subjected to Hindley’s tyranny, became hardened and withdrawn [10, 11]. He lost the academic ambition he once had, struggling to keep up with Catherine’s studies before ultimately abandoning them altogether [11]. He developed a “slouching gait” and an “ignoble look,” his naturally reserved disposition transforming into “unsociable moroseness” [11]. The sources imply that Heathcliff took a grim satisfaction in provoking disgust in those around him, his outward appearance reflecting the bitterness and resentment that consumed him [11].
Mr. Earnshaw’s death did not simply shift the power dynamic at Wuthering Heights; it served as a catalyst that irrevocably transformed the relationship between Hindley and Heathcliff, setting them on a collision course of hatred and revenge that would have devastating consequences for both men and those around them.
Catherine’s Changing Attitude Towards Heathcliff
Catherine Earnshaw’s attitude towards Heathcliff after her father’s death undergoes a complex transformation, marked by a mix of enduring affection, frustration, and ultimately, a tragic shift in priorities.
Despite Hindley’s attempts to separate them, Catherine continues to see Heathcliff and maintain their close bond. They share a sense of understanding and connection that transcends their difficult circumstances. [1, 2]
However, Hindley’s mistreatment of Heathcliff clearly distresses Catherine. She recognizes the injustice of his situation and expresses sadness over his reduced status and lack of education. [1] This suggests that her affection for Heathcliff is genuine and that she values him not just as a playmate but as an individual worthy of respect and opportunity.
Catherine’s own life changes significantly after her father’s death. She is subjected to a new set of rules and limitations imposed by Hindley and his wife, Frances. It’s possible that this loss of freedom and control contributes to her rebellious behavior, including her defiant interactions with Heathcliff.
The sources suggest that Catherine experiences a period of emotional turmoil after her father’s death, which likely influences her interactions with Heathcliff.
She becomes more volatile and unpredictable, at times rejecting Heathcliff’s attempts at affection and lashing out at him verbally. [3-5]
These moments of conflict suggest that Catherine is struggling to reconcile her feelings for Heathcliff with her changing circumstances and aspirations.
A pivotal moment occurs when Catherine returns from her five-week stay with the Lintons. She appears transformed, adopting a more refined demeanor and showing interest in Edgar Linton, a wealthy and socially acceptable suitor. [3, 6, 7]
This shift in Catherine’s behavior creates a rift between her and Heathcliff. He feels abandoned and betrayed, while she seems torn between her affection for him and her desire for a more secure and comfortable life. [5, 8, 9]
Catherine’s ultimate decision to marry Edgar represents a tragic turning point in her relationship with Heathcliff. While still claiming to love him deeply, she prioritizes social standing and material comfort over their shared history and intense connection. [10-13]
This choice has devastating consequences for both of them, leading to years of resentment, bitterness, and ultimately, a cycle of pain and revenge that affects the next generation.
It’s important to note that the sources offer a limited perspective on Catherine’s inner thoughts and feelings. Her attitude towards Heathcliff is revealed primarily through her actions and dialogue, leaving room for interpretation and analysis.

This transcript from the YouTube channel “Gohar Butt” features a discussion between Naeem Hanif, Gohar Butt, and Mubasher Luqman concerning current Pakistani political and international affairs. The conversation heavily focuses on the perceived increased respect and improved global standing of Pakistan under the current administration, contrasting it with the previous government’s alleged diplomatic failures. Speakers praise Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his recent international engagements, including an event where Donald Trump reportedly referred to General Asim Munir as his “favorite Field Marshal,” interpreting this as a sign of Pakistan’s rising respect. The panelists also discuss provincial politics, particularly in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), noting improvements in law and order and governance in Punjab under Maryam Nawaz, while criticizing political instability and the focus on Imran Khan’s legal issues in KP. Finally, the discussion touches upon Operation Sindoor 2 against Afghan elements, Dawood Ibrahim’s status, and the ongoing crackdown on criminal elements in Punjab.
Trump Hails General Asim Munir as Favorite Field Marshal
The discussion surrounding Donald Trump’s statement focuses on a remark he reportedly made about General Syed Asim Munir during a recent event concerning a ceasefire.
According to the source, the event, which included Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Donald Trump, created the impression that “Shahbaz [and] Trump are brothers” (“شہباز ٹرمپ بھائی بھائی ہیں”).
It was stated that Trump said, “My Favorite Field Marshal General Syed Asim, mera salam kehna” (My Favorite Field Marshal General Syed Asim, send him my regards).
Key points of discussion regarding this statement include:
Respect and Honor Although General Syed Asim Munir is not officially a Field Marshal, the speaker noted that the President of America, Donald Trump, spoke of him with great honor and respect (بڑی عزت کے ساتھ احترام کے ساتھ).
National Significance The honor derived from this mention is interpreted as respect being given to Pakistan and its Prime Minister internationally.
Contextual Change This respect is highlighted as being reflective of a major difference between Pakistan before May 10th and Pakistan after May 10th.
Divine Blessing The respect Mian Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir are receiving is viewed as honor that Allah is giving to Pakistan.
Pakistan’s Political and Diplomatic Transformation Post-May 2023
The political landscape discussed in the sources centers on major shifts in Pakistan’s international standing, governance at the provincial level, and the internal political dynamics post-May 2023.
I. Transformation of Pakistan’s International Standing
A significant theme is the perceived change in Pakistan’s global image and diplomatic strength, particularly since May 10th, 2023.
Respect and Power: The sources suggest that the world respects the powerful, and Pakistan has demonstrated power, leading to a revival of its diplomacy. People want to form relationships with the powerful.
Shahbaz Sharif and Donald Trump: A recent event concerning a ceasefire, where Donald Trump was present, created the impression that “Shahbaz [and] Trump are brothers” (“شہباز ٹرمپ بھائی بھائی ہیں”). Trump also reportedly spoke of General Syed Asim Munir with great respect, calling him, “My Favorite Field Marshal General Syed Asim, mera salam kehna” (My Favorite Field Marshal General Syed Asim, send him my regards). This respect from the American President, even using the title “Field Marshal” (which General Munir does not officially hold), is seen as great honor being accorded to Pakistan and its Prime Minister.
Divine Blessing: This respect received by Mian Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir is viewed as honor that Allah is granting to Pakistan.
Diplomatic Strategy: The current government is credited with having an extremely active and professional foreign office, which is fighting the entire diplomatic battle effectively. This active diplomatic front is seen as necessary, as aerial, naval, or land force advantage is pointless if the world does not understand or support a country’s position. It is asserted that Pakistan’s foreign office, despite fewer numbers and resources, has outmaneuvered India’s foreign office (“انڈیا کا فارن آفس جو جو ہے نا اس کو دھول چٹا دیا ہے”).
II. Governance and Political Leadership
The sources draw a sharp contrast between the governance under the current leadership (specifically Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz in Punjab) and previous political eras.
A. Contrast in Leadership Styles
Shahbaz Sharif’s Temperament: As Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif exhibits extreme stability and listens to everyone, a stark difference from his tenure as Chief Minister, where he was described as hyper and unwilling to listen to anyone.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Alleged Approach: The previous administration (Imran Khan’s) allegedly angered many traditional allies simultaneously, including America, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, and Palestine. It is claimed that Khan would anger countries while the then-Army Chief, General Bajwa, would subsequently try to mend relations. Furthermore, Khan is accused of traveling abroad and criticizing his own country’s bureaucracy, police, and judiciary while seeking investment.
B. Punjab (Maryam Nawaz)
Governance in Punjab is highlighted as being significantly improved:
Improved Governance: There is observable improvement in cleanliness, hospital services, and overall governance.
Law and Order: The police force is working effectively, having undergone education and training, leading to better customer service. The crime rate in Punjab is reportedly less than 50% compared to other provinces.
Police Independence and Respect: The police are currently operating independently, without taking pressure from high-profile figures, and investigating crimes thoroughly, even those involving children of influential people. The image and respect for the police uniform increased after the Chief Minister wore it.
Anti-Encroachment Drives: Maryam Nawaz is credited with successfully removing encroachments, a difficult task for a political person whose actions might impact their vote bank. This success is viewed as establishing public confidence that the government is genuinely improving the city.
C. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK)
The sources characterize the political scene in KPK under the new Chief Minister (Sohail Afridi) as being focused on generating unrest rather than governance:
Focus on Chaos: The political agenda in KPK is solely focused on ensuring the release of Imran Khan (“عمران خان باہر ائے گا عمران خان باہر نہیں ائے گا”), rather than addressing local governance or issues.
Legality of CM Appointment: The procedure for appointing the new CM is described as “highly illegal, unconstitutional, and non-statutory” (“انتہائی اللیگل ہے غیر قانونی ہے غیر ائینی ہے”).
Intentional Unrest: The purpose of bringing in a new CM from the tribal areas (like Sohail Afridi) and taking immediate resignations (like Ali Amin Gandapur) is seen as an attempt to ensure constant discussion about Imran Khan and to create instability in areas holding rich mineral resources, particularly ahead of potential constitutional amendments planned for November.
Bhatta Allegations: There are recorded allegations that former CMs of KPK (Ali Amin Gandapur and Mahmood Khan) paid protection money (“بھتا”) to the Taliban.
Opposition to State Policy: The new CM, Sohail Afridi, immediately declared opposition to military operations, which is contrary to the stated state policy of not negotiating with terrorists and conducting necessary operations.
III. Security and Operation Sendur 2
Regarding the security situation on the western border, it is noted that military operations are ongoing.
Operation Success:Operation Sendur 2 (referring to the action against cross-border attacks from Afghanistan) has been successful, described metaphorically as shattering the “five thousand years old history” of the Afghan groups. The opposing groups have reportedly raised the white flag five times seeking a ceasefire.
State Policy: Pakistan’s policy is not to negotiate with terrorists, and it will finish the operation when it sees fit.
External Financing of Terrorism: It is alleged that groups attacking Pakistan are currently being financed and trained by India.
Pakistan Security: External Conflict, Internal Politics, and Crime
The discussion of security challenges in the sources covers military operations on the western border, political instability linked to terrorism financing, and the fluctuating state of organized crime and law and order within the provinces.
External and Border Security Challenges
The primary external security focus is the ongoing conflict near the western border with Afghanistan:
Operation Sendur 2: Pakistan’s military operation against cross-border attacks from Afghanistan, referred to as Operation Sendur 2, has been highly successful. The success is described metaphorically as shattering the “five thousand years old history” of the Afghan groups.
Ceasefire Demands: The groups opposing Pakistan have reportedly raised the white flag five times, seeking a ceasefire.
State Policy on Negotiation: Pakistan maintains a firm state policy not to negotiate with terrorists and intends to finish the operation when the state deems it appropriate.
External Financing of Terrorism: It is alleged that groups currently attacking Pakistan are being financed and trained by India. The masterminds of the attacks are also referenced, with one figure (Mullah Muttaqi) accused of meeting with Indian officials.
Internal Security and Governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK)
The security situation in KPK is portrayed as being compromised by political choices and alleged collusion with militants:
Allegations of Extortion: There are recorded allegations that former Chief Ministers of KPK, including Ali Amin Gandapur and Mahmood Khan, paid protection money (“بھتا”) to the Taliban to ensure the safety of D.I. Khan.
Opposition to State Policy: The new Chief Minister (Sohail Afridi) immediately declared his opposition to military operations. This stance is considered contrary to the stated state policy of conducting necessary operations and not negotiating with terrorists.
Intentional Instability: The procedural maneuvering to bring in the new CM and ensure constant discussion about the former Prime Minister (Imran Khan) is viewed as an attempt to create instability and unrest in areas holding rich mineral resources, potentially ahead of constitutional amendments planned for November. The source suggests the goal is “کیوس” (chaos).
Underworld and Organized Crime
The security landscape also involves managing internal organized crime, particularly in Punjab:
Underworld Feuds and Police Action: A recent high-profile event involved the death of Taifi Butt (an accused in the Amir Balaj murder case) during a police encounter after his associates attempted to free him.
High-Profile Fugitives: There are conflicting reports regarding the status of Googi Butt (allegedly associated with the attempt to free Taifi Butt), suggesting either he went underground immediately or has been detained by police. Police sources indicated they had not yet begun raids to arrest him.
Success in Punjab: In contrast to the focus on unrest in KPK, Punjab is credited with significant improvements in law and order.
Reduced Crime Rate: The crime rate in Punjab is reported to be less than 50% compared to other provinces.
Independent Police Work: The police force is working effectively and is not taking pressure from influential individuals, even thoroughly investigating crimes involving the children of high-profile families.
Criminal Elements Subdued: It is noted that criminal elements in Punjab are currently in hiding (“زیر زمین”) due to fear of the police.
Impact of National Power on Security
The sources link overall security and respect from the international community to the demonstration of national power, particularly following key military and diplomatic successes:
Global Perception: The world respects the powerful, and Pakistan is seen as having demonstrated power, leading to better diplomatic engagement.
Shift Post-May 10th: The difference between Pakistan before May 10th and after is described as a “very big difference,” implying a strengthening of the security apparatus and subsequent international respect.
Pakistan’s Foreign Policy Transformation and Critique
The discussion of foreign relations in the sources highlights a significant transformation in Pakistan’s international image and diplomatic strategy, contrasted sharply with perceived failures of previous leadership.
I. Transformation of International Standing and Respect
The sources emphasize a perceived shift in Pakistan’s diplomatic standing, particularly since May 10th, 2023.
Respect for Power: It is stated that the world respects the powerful. Pakistan is seen as having demonstrated its power, leading to a revival of its diplomacy, as people seek relationships with strong states.
High-Level Recognition (Trump Statement): During a recent event concerning a ceasefire, the presence of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Donald Trump led to the impression that “Shahbaz [and] Trump are brothers” (“شہباز ٹرمپ بھائی بھائی ہیں”).
Honor for Military Leadership: Donald Trump reportedly spoke of Pakistan’s Army Chief with great honor and respect, stating: “My Favorite Field Marshal General Syed Asim, mera salam kehna” (My Favorite Field Marshal General Syed Asim, send him my regards). Although General Syed Asim Munir is not officially a Field Marshal, this mention by the American President is viewed as great respect accorded to Pakistan and its Prime Minister internationally.
Divine Endorsement: The respect Mian Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir are receiving is viewed as honor that Allah is granting to Pakistan.
II. Effectiveness of Diplomatic Strategy
The current government’s approach to diplomacy is praised for its professionalism and effectiveness:
Active Foreign Office: Pakistan is noted for having an extremely active and professional foreign office.
Professional Conduct: High Commissioners, Ambassadors, and their entire staff are described as professionally and proficiently fighting the diplomatic battle. They are noted for responding promptly to communications.
Outmaneuvering Rivals: The sources assert that Pakistan’s foreign office, despite having fewer numbers and resources, has “outmaneuvered India’s foreign office” (“انڈیا کا فارن آفس جو جو ہے نا اس کو دھول چٹا دیا ہے”).
Importance of Diplomacy: It is argued that achieving advantage on the aerial, naval, or land fronts is meaningless if the world does not understand or support a country’s position, underscoring the vital role of diplomats in conveying the state’s actions and justifications.
III. Contrast with Previous Foreign Policy (Imran Khan’s Tenure)
The sources sharply criticize the foreign policy approach of the previous administration (under Imran Khan):
Angering Allies: The former Prime Minister is accused of angering many traditional allies simultaneously, including America, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, and Palestine. This comprehensive alienation of friendly states is referred to as “kamaal” (remarkable/unbelievable).
Mending Relations: It is claimed that during that period, while the Prime Minister would anger countries, the then-Army Chief, General Bajwa, would subsequently be occupied trying to repair and mend those relations.
Self-Criticism Abroad: The former Prime Minister is also criticized for traveling the world seeking investment while simultaneously denouncing his own country’s bureaucracy, police, and judiciary as being corrupt or inadequate.
IV. Security-Linked Foreign Issues
Foreign relations are also discussed in the context of ongoing military and security challenges:
External Financing of Terrorism: It is alleged that groups attacking Pakistan from the western border area are currently being financed and trained by India.
Indian Involvement with Afghan Figures: Mullah Muttaqi is specifically mentioned as a master planner, with claims that India lifted a special travel ban to allow him to meet Indian officials.
State Policy: Regarding the security threats from the western border, Pakistan’s state policy remains firm: not to negotiate with terrorists. The success of Operation Sendur 2 has led the opposing groups to seek a ceasefire five times, but Pakistan reserves the right to finish the operation when it sees fit.
Punjab Infrastructure and Governance Improvements
The discussion of infrastructure development in the sources is primarily focused on the observable improvements and challenges related to urban management and public services in Pakistan, with a strong emphasis on the provincial government of Punjab.
Infrastructure and Governance Improvements in Punjab (Lahore)
The current governance in Punjab, under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is credited with significant, noticeable improvements in several infrastructure and service areas:
Improved Public Services: There is observable improvement in cleanliness and hospital services.
Enhanced Governance and Security: Overall governance has improved. Furthermore, the crime rate in Punjab is reported to be less than 50% compared to other provinces.
Effective Anti-Encroachment Drives: Maryam Nawaz is highlighted for successfully undertaking the difficult task of removing encroachments. This success is viewed as critical, as implementing law enforcement actions that affect the political vote bank is the most challenging task for a political person.
The removal of encroachments led to larger roads, as noted during a visit to the Food Street area.
Specifically, the inner city (Wall City) was heavily encroached upon, but now people are willingly clearing their properties.
Major Development Projects:
The Wall City Project is noted as being a 125 billion rupee project.
Mian Shahbaz Sharif is identified as the Pattern Chief of this project.
Restoring Public Confidence: The success in clearing encroachments has established public confidence that the government is genuinely improving the city and not simply looking to benefit politically or personally.
Historical Contrast: Previous attempts at improvement failed; the former caretaker Chief Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, started an anti-encroachment campaign but quickly retreated, noting that the “mafia” made it impossible. During the tenure of CM Buzdar, piles of garbage were observed even on Mall Road.
Challenges and Comparative Infrastructure Deficits
The sources use the poor conditions in other provinces, particularly Sindh (Karachi) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), as a contrast to highlight the progress in Punjab:
Sindh (Karachi) Deficits: Karachi is described as suffering from severe infrastructure deficits:
Road Conditions: Roads are heavily potholed and broken, suggesting that a new vehicle (like a four-wheel-drive) would be severely damaged.
Water Scarcity: Residents must pay money to receive water via tankers, despite water potentially being available, indicating that the system is broken and failing to deliver water through pipes.
The lack of basic civic facilities is described as a “violation of citizens’ rights,” especially since Karachi is the biggest city contributing to the country’s economy.
KPK Governance Focus: The political focus in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) is described as being solely on creating political chaos (“کیوس”) and securing the release of the former Prime Minister (“عمران خان باہر ائے گا عمران خان باہر نہیں ائے گا”) rather than addressing local governance issues or providing services.
Development Challenge: The sources issue a direct challenge to the Chief Ministers of Sindh (Murad Ali Shah), KPK (Sohail Afridi), and Balochistan, urging them to improve their capital cities to the development standard of Lahore within three years. This challenge underscores the perceived current superiority of Lahore’s infrastructure development and governance.

طریقے سے مودی نو چونگ وچ لمحہ پا کے گدر کوٹلائی ہے نا سر اس کے بعد سے ہمارا جو امیج ہے دنیا کے اندر وہ ڈفرنٹ ہوا ہے لوگوں کو پتہ چلا کہ نہیں نہیں یار ا ایی گل ہی بڑی ہیں دوجے پاسے اصل میدان دے پروان ہے یہ یہ جان انہیں پتہ ہے کہ کیا دو پیج ہوتے ہیں میں اپ کو ایک بات بتاؤں کہ میں ایز ا سی ایم بھی ملا ہوا ہوں ان کو ایز پرائم منسٹر بھی میں ملا زمین اسمان کا فرق ہے دونوں لوگ ایز ا سی ایم وہ بہت زیادہ ہائیپر تھے اور وہ سنتے نہیں تھے کسی کی ایز ا پی ایم انتہائی ٹھہراؤ ہے ان کی طبیعت میں اور وہ ہر ہر ایک کی سنتیں ہیں ٹھیک ہے اور یہ جتنی اللہ نے ان کو عزت دی ہے اور پاکستان کی اسٹیبلشمنٹ کو جو عزت مل رہی ہے یہ انسان تو دے نہیں سکتا یہ اللہ کا ہی کام ہے اللہ ہی دے رہا ہے میں نے اپنے ہوش میں کسی پرائم منسٹر کو پاکستان کی اتنی زیادہ ریسپیکٹ ملتے ہوئے نہیں دیکھی انٹرنیشنل اور میں اس کو لیتا ہوں ایز پاکستان ریسپیکٹ ظاہر ہے پاکستان جو میاں شہباز شریف کو ریسپیکٹ مل رہی ہے نا ایکچولی وہ اللہ پاکستان کو عزت دے رہا ہے جو اصف منیر جنرل اصف منیر کو عزت مل رہی ہے اور اللہ وہ پاکستان کو دے رہا ہے جو ہمارے ایئر چیف کو نیول جی ان ساروں کو جو عزتیں مل رہی ہیں وہ ہماری عزت تو یہ بڑا خوشی کا مقام ہے اور جو سپیچ کی ہے وہاں پہ پرائم منسٹر نے ائی تھنک بہت ہی کمال کا اپ نے جس نے بھی لکھا یا انہوں نے دل سے کی دونوں صورتوں میں اٹ مسٹ بی ایپریشیٹڈ ان کے جو ناقد ہیں نا وہ بھی مجبور ہو گئے ہیں تعریف کرنا اور دیکھیں یہ کچھ چھوٹا اوکیژن نہیں تھا اب ورلڈ سٹیج پہ ہے ورلڈ سٹیج ہے اور دنیا کا سب سے پرانا جو مسئلہ ہے وہ وہاں پہ ریزالو ہونے جا رہا ہے اپ یہ سوچیں ا نہیں منیف صاحب اپ کو میں اپ کی لیول پہ لا کے ایک بات سمجھاؤں اگر اپ پرانا منائیں تو کہ وہاں پہ جتنے مائکس لگے ہوئے ہیں اپ سمجھیں وہاں ار این این کا مائیک لگا ہوا ہے تو اپ کی کیا ویلیو ہے تو وہ تو خود وہاں پھر ان کو پریزیڈنٹ کہہ رہے ہیں کہ جناب اپ ذرا بات کریں اپ بات کریں وہ اٹالین پرائم منسٹر پیچھے کھڑی ہے وہ اشارے کر رہی ہے یہ کر رہی کہ اس کو کوئی لفٹ نہیں کرا رہا اپ نہیں اگے اٹالین پرائم منسٹر نو نے ٹرمپ نے کہا ہے کہ بڑی خوبصورت ہے نہیں نہیں بڑی سمجھیں وہ یہ کوئی سٹرینتھ نہیں ہے نا یہ نیچرل چیز ہے لیکن یہ جو ہمارے پرائم منسٹر کو جو عزت ملی ہے نا سر یہ پاکستان اچھا اللہ کی مدد کے بعد جو ہے سفارتی ایک جو سٹریٹجی ہے اس کا کتنا رول ہے بے اور جیسے اپ نے کہا کہ تاریخ میں ا یہ کامیابی اور یہ عزت پرائم منسٹر کے حصے میں جو ا رہی ہے وہ پہلے کسی کے نہیں ائی تو تھوڑا سا بتائیں گے کہ وہ کیا ا محرکات اور وہ کون سی سٹریٹجی تھی ا جو جس کو اللہ نے کامیاب کر دیا لیں جی میں اپ کو ایک بات بتاتا ہوں بڑی چھوٹی سی جی میں پچھلے ایک سال سے نوٹ کر رہا ہوں پاکستان کے جتنے فارن مشنز ہیں نا میں دو تین کا تو نام بھی مجھے یاد ہو گیا ہے ڈاکٹر فیصل ہیں وہ حیدر شاہ ہیں اور بھی لوگ ہیں اس طرح حامد اصغر وغیرہ اپ ان کو فون فون کریں لاہور سے یہ یوں اٹھاتے ہیں نہیں اٹھا سکتے تو جواب دیتے ہیں اور یہ ایکٹ کرتے ہیں اپ کی بات پہ جتنا ایکٹو اپ کا فارن افس ہے نا اس وقت اور جتنا پروفیشنلی اور پروفیشنٹلی اپ کے ہائی کمشنرز اور ایمبیسڈرز اور ان کا پورا عملہ جو ہے وہ یعنی اس ساری لڑائی کو لڑ رہا ہے میں نے اگین یہ میں وہی بات کہوں گا کہ میں نے زندگی میں پہلی باری دیکھا ہے کہ انڈیا کا فارن افس جو جو ہے نا اس کو دھول چٹا دیا ہے انہوں نے حالانکہ تعداد میں تھوڑے ہیں وسائل میں بہت تھوڑے ہیں لیکن اللہ نے جو ان کو قابلیت دی ہے اللہ نے جو ان کو سمجھ دی ہے وہ پاکستان کو انہوں نے سفارتی محاز پہ اپ اگے نہ ہوں تو صرف اپ اپنا جو ہے نا بری یا بحری یا فضائی محاز پہ اگے ہونے کا فائدہ نہیں ہے لوگ اپ کو سمجھیں نا کہ اپ نے صحیح کیا یہ سفارت کاروں کا کام ہے نا اگے کنوے کرنا تو میرا تو خیال ہے کہ اس وقت الحمدللہ بہت ہی اچھا کمبینیشن اچھا پچھلی حکومت میں تو ہم نے لوگ ملکوں کو ناراض ہی کیا اچھا میں اپ سے گزارش کروں یہ دیکھیں میں اگین 10 مئی سے پہلے کا پاکستان اور تھا 10 مئی کے بعد کا اور یہ یہ بات ذہن میں رکھیے دیکھیں اور نو مئی سے پہلے کا پاکستان نو مئی جڑا وہ 2ز روپی لاہور سی تدزار روپی تو بعد لاہور سی اور دیکھ لو ہور ہویا ٹھیک ہے اور وہ ہور رہنا ہے اس کی تفصیل بعد میں بتاتا ہوں لیکن ابھی میں اپ سے گزارش کروں کہ یہ دنیا کے اندر نا سر طاقت نے جیتنا ہوتا ہے یہ قدرت کا قانون ہے ٹھیک ہے طاقتور کی ریسپیکٹ ہوتی ہے لوگ طاقتور کے ساتھ تعلق بنانا چاہتے ہیں مظلوم پہ ترس کھائیں گے انو پیسے دے دیں گے ان ک چل سردی ا گئی کپڑے دے ان کا ساتھ تو نہیں دیا کسی نے اس کا جو ہے نا اس کے ادے نال موڈا لا کے کوئی نہیں کھلوے گا ٹھیک ہے پاکستان نے 10 مئی کے بعد ثابت کیا کسی طاقتور اس لیے ہماری سفارت کاری میں اب جان ا گئی ہے سر سر میں سمجھنا بٹ صاحب یہ چاہ رہا ہوں مشر صاحب بھی اس پہ تھوڑا سا اگر بات کر لیں دونوں اپ کر لیں گے کہ اس سے پہلے بھی وزیراعظم عمران خان اور اس وقت کے ارمی چیف کے درمیان ایک جو ائیڈیل کوارڈینیشن تھی وہ کہا جاتا تھا اور بڑا ایک دوستانہ ماحول تھا ایک رومانس تھا تو اس وقت تو جو میری اطلاعت ہے کہ اس وقت کے چیف جا کے لوگوں کو مناتے پھرتے تھے اور وزیراعظم ناراض کر رہے تھے اپ اپ میری بنیادی بات کو ہی نعیم صاحب تھوڑا سا پلیز انڈرسٹینڈ کریں 10 مئی سے پہلے کا پاکستان ہور سی اگین میں تہانوں کہہ رہا ہوں 10 مئی کے بعد ہور اس کا ایک فرق ہے میں اپ کو وجہ بتاتا ہوں دیکھیں اگر ارمی چیف جو ہے پرائم منسٹر کو سپورٹ کر رہا ہے ان دس کیس جنرل باجوا جو ہیں اگر وہ پرائم منسٹر کو سپورٹ کریں تو اس بات کو سرائیں ہ اگر وہ پرائم منسٹر کی جڑیں کاٹ رہے ہوتے تو پھر ہم ان کو کنڈیم کرتے یا غلط کرتے تو یہ تو ا عمران خان نے یہ ثابت کیا ہے کہ اگر اپ جسے پنجابی میں کہتے ہیں گوڈے گوڈے نالائق اگر ہوں نا تو تو کسی کی بھی سپورٹ اپ کو فائدہ نہیں دیتی سر وہاں تو یہ تھا کہ عمران خان اگے اگے ملکوں کو ناراض کر رہے ہیں اور باجوا صاحب پیچھے پیچھے مر رہے ہیں اپ نے ایک اور چیز دیکھی ہے کہ جو ٹریڈیشنل دشمن ہے نا جو ہر وقت میں کہ جی بٹ دا مخالف ہے گا تے میرا دوست ہےگا نعیم دا مخالف ہے تے میرا دوست ہےگا یو نو یہ اس طرح سے جو ہوتے تھے امریکہ اور چائنہ ایک وقت میں ہم سے ناراض سعودیہ اور ایران ایک وقت میں ہم سے ناراض یمن اور فلسطین ایک وقت میں ہم سے ناراض یہ کمال نہیں ہے یعنی اپ نے دنیا میں ٹھیکہ اٹھایا ہوا ہے ہر ایک کو اپنا اپنا تنگ کرنے کا یہ عمران خان کی اچھا عمران خان کا اور کمال ایک یہ تھا کہ وہ وہ پوری دنیا میں جاتے تھے دورہ کرنے اور وہاں پر جا کے کہتے تھے کہ میرے ملک کی بیوروکریسی بہت کرپٹ ہے میرے ملک دی پلس بڑی کرپٹ ہے میرے ملک میں جوڈیشری اچھی نہیں ہے لیکن اپ وہاں پر انویسٹمنٹ کریں ان دسو تسی دسو کہ تے گھر کرپشن ہے کوٹ پہلے ہے کیا اس ہر مہینے ائی جی چینج ہو رہے نے ہر مہینے چیف سیکرٹری چینج ہو رہے نے ہر مہینے لہ فائننس سیکٹری کتنے چینج ہوئے ہیں؟ چیئرمین سی بی ار سٹیٹ بینک کا گورن چیف سیکٹری یار پانچ چینج ہوئے چیف سیکرٹری پانچ چینج اچھا میں کہنا یہ چاہ رہا ہوں کہ عمران خان کے دور کا اور شہباز شریف صاحب کے یہ جو ٹنیور ہے نا یہ والا میں پچھلے ٹنیور کی بات نہیں کر رہا یہ جو ٹنیور شروع ہے اس کا 10 مئی کے بعد سے نا چیزیں بالکل ڈفرنٹ ہے دنیا طاقتور دی نہیں گل سندی ہے دنیا مہاتڑ دی گل نہیں سن اچھا نہ چاہتے ہوئے ذکر ہو جاتا ہے جی اڑیالہ کا تو کے پی کے میں علی مین گنڈا پور کے اقتدار کا چراغ جو ہے وہ گل ہو گیا یہ ایک نیچرل ا تبدیلی ہے اس کے پیچھے کوئی سازش ہے اور وہ سہیل افریدی کہتا ہے کہتا کہ میں تو صرف ون پوائنٹ ایجنڈا ہے نہ اس نے کوئی کے پی کے کے مسائل کی بات کی ہے نہ اس نے وہاں کی جو ہے نا گورننس کی بات کی ہے انہوں نے ا کے کہا میرے انے کا مقصد ہے عمران خان کی رہائی اور میں کروا کے دکھاؤں گا یہ علی امین نے بھی کہا تھا پہلی بات دوسری بات یہ ہے کہ عمران خان نے یہ جو ہٹایا علی امین کو ایک تو وہ اس کی بہن اور بیوی دونوں اس کے خلاف ہو گئی لیکن اصل وجہ ہے کہ اس نے ریلیونٹ ہونے کے لیے کیا ہے کیونکہ ہم اپ دیکھیں اپنے پروگرام اٹھا لیں کب سے اس کو ڈسکس ہی نہیں کر رہے نہیں کر رہے اور وہ پاکستان کے کسی چینل پہ نہیں ڈسکس ہو رہا تھا تو وہ کر رہا تھا تو کوئی شہباز گل صاحب کر رہے ہیں یا عمران ریاض صاحب کر رہے ہیں یا فلاں فلاں کر رہا ہے لیکن کوئی یہاں پہ نہیں کر رہا تھا ڈسکس یہ کر کے اگلے ایک مہینے کے لیے انہوں نے انشور کر لیا ہے کہ وہ ڈسکس ہوں گے ہر وقت ہوں گے جیسے ابھی ہم کر رہے ہیں لیکن میں اپ کو ان نٹ شیل بتا دیتا ہوں کہ جو سارا پروسیجر ہوا ہے نئے سی ایم بننے کا یہ انتہائی اللیگل ہے غیر قانونی ہے غیر ائینی ہے اور مجھے حیرانی ہے کہ اس کے اوپر ایک اعلی عدالت نے اس کو تحفظ بھی دے دیا اس کو سیکیورٹی بھی دے دی لیکن ہم وہ پہلے بھی دیکھ چکے ہیں جب حمزہ شہباز اور پرویز علائی کا معاملہ تھا کہ نہ ادھر سے ووٹ ڈلے لیکن وہ کینسل ہو گئے وہ ڈس کوالیفائی ہو گئے اور وہ جیت گئے اور یعنی پرویز علائی کو وزیراعلی بھی بنا دیا یہ بھی ائین کی انٹرپرٹیشن ہوئی ہوئی ہے تو ایک اور مزائقہ کیس ہو گئی ہے لیکن کیونکہ مجھے لگتا ہے کہ عمران خان صرف اس ملک میں کیوس چاہتا ہے اور وہ یہ ساری حرکتیں جو ہیں نا وہ کیاس کرنے کے لیے نو ادر ریزن علی مین اداروں سے ٹکرا نہیں رہا تھا یہ کوئی نیا علی مین ٹکرا محاذرہ ہی نہیں کر رہا تھا نہیں بالکل نہیں ٹکرا رہا تھا نہ محاضرہ ہی کر رہا تھا سہیل افریدی نے دو باتیں کی نعیم صاحب ا اس نے ایک بات کی کہ میرا جو ہے وہ ا ایجیٹیشن کا میرا بڑا تجربہ ہے ہاں ہیں جی پوجا انہوں نے کہا ہم ملٹری اپریشن کے خلاف ہیں ٹھیک ہے بھائی اپ ریاستی پالیسی کے خلاف ہیں ٹھیک ہے یعنی اپ ہماری ریاست کی یہ سٹیٹڈ پالیسی ہے ہم اس پہ عمل کر رہے ہیں کہ ہم نے نیگوشییٹ نہیں کرنا دہشت گردوں کے ساتھ اور ہم ان کے خلاف اپریشن کریں گے اے پائے نہ حلف چکو تو پہلے ہی بامو لات کرا رہے نے کہ میں ملٹری اپریشنز کے خلاف عمران خان کی پالیسی کیا ہے عمران خان اس ملک کے اندر فتنہ فساد چاہتا ہے عمران خان جو ہے وہ کہتا نہ کھیڈاں گے نہ کھیڈن دواں گے کیوں میں کہہ رہا ہوں دیکھیں افغانستان کی جانب سے پاکستان پر حملہ ہوا اپ جانتے ہیں وہاں پر پھر اسیں انہوں نے گدر کوٹ لائی ہے انہوں نے بھی ادھے گھنٹے بعد رونا شروع کرتا سی ٹھیک ہے لیکن پھر ہم نے انہیں تسلی کی تھی پوری اچھا پھر وہ کر رہے ہیں وہاں پر ملٹری اپریشن جو ہے وہ ہمارا چل رہا ہے اور عمران خان نے کیا کیا یہاں پر اس نے فوری طور پر استعفہ لے دے دیا اور ایک ایسے بندے کو قبائلی علاقے سے لے کر ایا جہاں پر کہ جو وہ ان کے جو نوجو نوجوان ہے وہاں کا ان کے سینٹیمنٹ کے ساتھ وہ پلے کرے ٹھیک ہے اور اپ میں مجھے اب سچی بات ہے میں وہاں کا کوئی رہنے والا نہیں ہوں لیکن جو اطلاعات تھیں جو گفتگو تھی وہ یہ تھا کہ جناب پی ٹی پی کی پوری جو ہے نا بیک حاصل ہے اصف کو تو میں کہنا یہ چاہتا ہوں کہ ان کا مقصد صرف یہ ہے کہ اس ایریے کے اندر انریسٹ رہے گا کیونکہ وہ ریسٹ انریسٹ کیوں رکھنا ہے وہاں پہ کیونکہ ریر منرلز کا معاملہ ارہا ہے اور نومبر بہت اہم ہے اس میں 27ویں ترمیم کی اپ گفتگو سن رہے ہوں گے کہ 27ویں ائینی ترمیم ہونی ہے تو وہ جو منرلز کا معاملہ ہے جہاں سے پاکستان نے کی معیشت نے سٹینڈ کرنا ہے اور جہاں سے ہماری معیشت جو ہے وہ بہتری کی طرف جانی ہے اتھے بھائی گند پا دیو یہ عمران خان نے کیا نہیں مذمت کی ہوگی نا ابھی ٹویٹ تو ایا ہوگا افغانستان نے جو ایڈچر کیا کوئی اپ دکھائیں کہاں نہیں ایا ہوگا کیسے ہو سکتا ہے دکھائیں کہاں یار وہ سابق وزیراعظم ہے سابق وزیر انہوں نے تو ابھی تک مودی کو کنڈیم نہیں کیا انہوں نے ابھی تک نیتن یاہو کو نہیں کیا انہوں نے فلسطینیوں کو نہیں مبارکباد دی وہ کسی وہ تو کسی جگہ کے وہ ہے یار مجھے بات بتائیں جب یہ بھارت نے حملہ کیا تو جس لیے پاکستان نے گدڑ کٹ لا لو دتی سارے پاسے سکون ہو گیا اس تو بعد انہوں نے کہا کہ بھارت کے خلاف جو ہماری فورسز نے کاروائی کی ہے بڑا اچھا کیا ایسی بھارت دی مذمت پھر انہوں نے نہیں کیتی وچوں سے تو وہ عمران خان تو سر وہ صرف خوابوں کا وزیراعظم ہے کچھ لوگوں کے وہ اسی میں ہے اور اسی میں رہے گا سہیل افریدی رہا کروا لیں گے عمران خان سہیل افریدی ان لوگوں میں سے جو عمران خان کی مشکلات میں اضافہ کریں گے اچھا اور مزید کروائیں گی اتی کے دانت کھانے کے اور دکھانے کے اور میں اپ کو بتاؤں اگر یہ وفاقی حکومت کو چاہیے نہیں لیکن اگر وہ اس کو چیلنج کر دیں تو یہ بھائی جان کی چھٹی ہو جائے گی اور یہ ساری ختم ہو جائے گی کہانی پیری ٹیل جو ہے میں اس لیے کہہ رہا ہوں کہ نہیں چاہیے ان کو کرانا کیونکہ اب ایک دفعہ پی ٹی ائی کو ایکسپوز ہونے دیں لوگوں کے اگے پوری طرح اسپیشلی کے پی کے کے اندر اور یہ بخار اترے ورنہ وہ پھر سمپتھی فیکٹ مل جائے گا ان کو پھر سمپتی پورٹ دیکھیں یہاں پر ہم ڈسکس کیا کرتے ہیں ہم پنجاب میں ڈسکس کرتے ہیں کہ مریم نواز کے دور کے اندر یار لاہوری صفائی بڑی ہے ہاسپٹلز میں دوائی بڑھی ہے یہاں پر جو ہے گورننس بہتر ہو گئی ہے کرائم ریٹ نیچے اگیا ہے ہم لوگ یہ ڈسکس کرتے ہیں اگر کتے ڈکیتی بجے اسی فور کہ یار لاہور سرا میں ڈکیتی بج گئی یہ باتیں ہم کرتے ہیں نا اپ مجھے بتائیں کے پی کے کا جو سی ایم ہے یا وہاں کی اپوزیشن ہے وہ کیا ڈسکس کر رہی ہوتی ہے عمران خان باہر ائے گا عمران خان باہر نہیں ائے گا اور ادھر بھتے کی پرچیاں مل رہی ہیں ہاں بھتے کی پرچیاں سر پرچی تے جاندی نہیں ہنا ان تے پرچی والا کام تو پرانا ہو گیا ان تے ایس ایم ایس جاندا ہے ہیلو یا پہنچانا ہے تو وہ ہمارے جو گورنر ہیں کے پی کے کے علی وہ فیصل کریم منڈی صاحب وہ تو ڈیٹ فرسٹ سے کہہ رہے ہیں کہ علی مین گنڈاپور بطور وزیر اللہ کے پی کے طالبان کو بھتا دیتے ہیں ڈی ائی خان جانے کا وہ وہ باقاعدہ یہ بات کہتے ہیں ان ریکارڈ کہتے ہیں اس سے پہلے وہ محمود خان جو تھے ہاں انہوں نے بھی دیا انہوں نے بھی دیا بطور وزیر اعلی اچھا اب یہ کا 13 سال سے وہاں پر تحریک انصاف کی حکومت ہے تو یہ حالات ہیں اچھا اس سے پہلے تھی اے این پی کی حکومت تب تو یہ حالات نہیں تھے تو اب وہاں کا جو ایشو ہے نا وہ عوام تو ہے ہی نہیں وہاں پر تو ایشو یہ ہے کہ عمران خان باہر ائے گا کہ عمران خان باہر نہیں ائے گا اچھا سر وہ پنجاب انے سے پہلے اپ کا ایک اندرون کا وزٹ بھی ڈسکس کرنا ہے یہ اپریشن سندور ٹو جو ہے اس کی کیا خبریں ہیں اپ کے پاس بات یہ ہے کہ جو یہ افغانز کی پانچ ہزار سال پرانی تاریخ تھی نا ہ اس کو پاکستان ارمی نے پھاڑ پھوڑ کے دو گھنٹے کے اندر ہاتھوں میں پکڑا دیا ان کے پانچ دفعہ تو وہ سفید جھنڈا لہرا چکے ہیں کہ اب سیس فائر کر لو دیکھیں اور یہ ڈی جے ایس پی ار نے پہلے کہا تھا شروع تم کرو گے ختم پھر ہم کریں گے تو جب ہمارا دل کرے گا ہم ختم کریں گے اور ایک بھی دنیا کے ملک نے ان کی سائیڈ لے کے ہمیں یہ نہیں کہا کہ ختم کر دو ساروں کو پتہ ہے کہ یہ دہشت گرد ہے ساروں کو پتہ ہے کہ دہشت گردوں کی پش پرائی ہو رہی ہے مجھے لوگ بڑا کہتے ہیں کہ یار افغان لوگوں کے متعلق نہ کہیں افغان حکومت کے متعلق کہیں حکومت کون ہے بھائی لوگوں کے اندر سے حکومت ہے نا یہ تو ایسی کوئی بات نہیں نہیں لوگوں کے اندر سے حکومت نہیں ہے مبشر صاحب وہ تو ایک قبضہ گروپ ہے فرینکلی افغان عوام جو ہیں وہ یہ ان کے منتخب میرا مطلب ہے کہ وہ بھی بچے نہیں ہیں سر اس میں تاجک بھی ہیں سالوں سے سالوں سے وہ بھی ہیں قومیتوں کے لوگ ہیں ان کو کھڑے ہونا چاہیے نہیں نہیں وہ اپنی جگہ پہ کھڑے ہونا نہ ہونا الگ بات ہے لیکن یہ وہاں وہاں کا ایک عارضی سیٹ اپ ہے یہ وہاں پر کوئی مستقل سیٹ اپ نہیں ہے اور یہ باقاعدہ دوہا معاہدے میں لکھا ہوا ہے ٹھیک ہے دوسری بات یہ ہے کہ یہ وہاں کے کوئی منتخب لوگ نہیں ہیں یہ تو وہاں پر ایک ایک سیٹ بنا تھا چیزوں چیزوں کو اگے بہتر کرنا تھا انہوں نے تو قبضہ کر لیا تو قبضہ کرو یعنی مودی کا سندور اپریشن جو ہے مجبور اپریشن بن گیا سارا جو ہوا ہے اس کا ماسٹر مائنڈ تو جیت دیو نا ملا متقی وہاں پہ ایک ہفتے سے کیا کر رہا ہے وہ ادمی جس کے اوپر ٹریول بین ہم انڈیا نے سپیشل بین لفٹ کرایا انڈیا کی حد تک اور پھر وہ وہاں جا کے بامیان کے بتوں کے سامنے بیٹھ کے پریس کانفرنس کر رہا ہے وہ کہہ رہا ہے عورتوں کو اجازت نہیں جب پیچھے بتائیں وہ ان کے اگے میں اجازت ہے سب کچھ طالبان کی تو اپنی نفی کر رہا ہے طالبان کے جو ملا عمر کے جو پرنسپلز تھے ان سے تو یہ خلاف ورزی کر رہا ہے بامیان کے بتوں نے گرا تو یہ ہے کہ انہوں نے ملا عمر نے تو یہاں تک سٹیٹمنٹ دی تھی کہ ہم پاکستان کے اوپر یعنی جو بھی ائے گا حملہ کرنے ہم اس کے دشمن ہیں یہ تو الٹا ان کے ساتھ مل کر حملے کر رہے ہیں ان کو فائنانس اس وقت انڈیا کر رہا ہے ان کو ٹرین اس وقت انڈیا کر رہا ہے انڈیا اپنی ایمبیسی کنورٹ کر دی اس نے ڈیفنس ایگریمنٹ بھی کیا ہے شاید وہ مجھے نہیں پتہ دفاع کا معاہدہ نہیں نہیں معاہدہ ان کا وائیڈ رینجنگ ہے شاید دفاع بھی اس میں ہو مجھے پتہ نہیں ہے اس کا نہیں ایسا نہیں ہے جیسا اپ سمجھ رہے ہیں نا ایسا فی الحال معاہدہ نہیں ہوا میرا خیال ہے ابھی تک کہ ایک پہ حملہ سب پہ حملہ وہ والا سین ہے فلحال نہیں ہوا ہوا کیونکہ انڈیا سمجھدار ہے اسے پتہ ہے اس بات کا کہ یہ ساڈی کی ڈیفینس کر سکتے ہیں ایون انڈیا کے اندر اس کی بڑی مخالفت ہو رہی ہے وہ بلکہ وہ جاوید اختر جو جڑا انہوں نے نا سن کے نس گیا سی انہوں نے ایک لڑکی کو دیکھا تو کیسا لگا وہ پائے نا وہ جڑے نا وہ بڑے شدید مخالف ہوئے ہیں یہ طالبان کی اس وزٹ کے انہوں نے بڑا ہاں انہوں نے بڑا خوفناک ٹویٹ کیتا ہے اچھا انڈیا کی جب بات ہو رہی ہے تو داؤد ابراہیم کا جو ہے نا وہ انڈین میڈیا پہ بڑا سحر ہے اور وہ ہر سال داؤد ابراہیم کو مار دیتے ہیں۔ اج کل بھی سنا ہے کہ انڈین میڈیا نے داؤد ابراہیم کو مار دیا ہوا ہے کہ داؤد ابراہیم کی ڈیتھ ہو گئی ہے اور دن رات جو ہے وہاں پہ ایک سیلیبریشن کا سماں بھی ہے اور یہ بھی چہمگئیاں ہیں کہ وہ کہاں ہیں اس وقت کس ملک میں ہے تو کیا اطلاع ہے اگر داؤدی بات یہ ہے کہ اگر کسی ملک میں ہیں تو پھر تو ڈیتھ نہیں ہوئی نا تو انڈین میڈیا کی جتنی خبریں اج تک وہ ساری دنیا کے سامنے ایکسپوز ہے وہ تو لاہور کی بندرگاہ پہ بھی قبضہ کیا ہوا تھا اور کراچی پہ بھی انہوں نے کر دیا تھا پھر شہباز شریف کو انہوں نے زخمی کرا دیا تھا اصف منیر کو بنکر میں کرا پتہ نہیں کیا کیا کرا دیا تھا ہاں تو یہاں تک اب وہ نا ا انیس چھوٹ انیس چلائیں گے یا چھوٹا شکیل چلائیں گے اب دیکھیں بات یہ ہے ایسے ایسے گروپس کی ہائی ارکی جو ہوتی ہے نا وہ اسی وقت تک ہوتی ہے جب تک نمبر ون ہوتا ہے چاہے جو مرضی نمبر ٹو ہو اور نمبر تھری ہو یہ اپنا بیکار کی باتیں ہیں ا لیکن جہاں تک اطلاعات ہیں داؤد ابراہیم یا تو اس وقت انڈیا کے اندر موجود ہیں انڈیا کے اندر جی جی ویرا پانی نہیں تھا کتنا عرصہ تھا یا وہ فارس میں کہیں پہ ہیں وہ جو سورب شکلی ہاں سورج شکلی صاحب جو تھے انہوں نے اس کا ایک واقعہ سنایا اچھا وہ کیا وہ دیکھیں وہ ایک فلم کی شوٹنگ ہو رہی تھی تو وہ لوگ ان علاقوں میں کر رہے تھے اور ہاں اور وہ یہ اس کے اوپر ہی ہو رہی تھی ویر پن کے اوپر ہی تو کہتے ہیں ایک بندہ روز ا کے بیٹھ جاتا تھا وہاں پہ سیٹ کے اوپر میں اس کو دیکھ رہا ہوتا تھا ایک دن میں رات کو کمرے میں تھا تو بندہ کمرے میں ا گیا اور وہاں بیٹھا ہوا تو یہ کہتا ہے اپ کو ہر چیز ملی ہوئی ہے کوئی ضرورت تو نہیں میں نے کہا بھئی تم ہو کون کیا ہے یہ وہ میں نے کہا ویرپن کہتا میں اسے کاٹ دیا کاٹ دے کے چلا گیا ہاں اس کے جب میں نے پڑھا تو میں تو بھائی کانپ یہ کیا ہو گیا اور پھر وہ اگلے دن کھانے پہ بیٹھا ہوا ہے وہاں پہ یہ وہ تو اتنے بڑے بڑے وانٹڈ کریمنلز جو ہیں جو پچھلے 30 سال سے وانٹڈ ہیں ہر پولیس کو انڈیا میں وہ ان کے فلموں کے سیٹ پہ پھر رہے ہوتے ہیں تو یہ بھی وہیں پہ ہوں گے ایسی کیا بات ہے نہیں یہ پورا انڈیا کا میڈیا جو ہے ایک داؤد ابراہیم نے انگیج کیا ہوا ہے ساری سکرین نہیں جب ان کو یہ کہتے ہیں ہم نے جب ان سے دور اپریشن کر ان کے پاس کچھ نہیں ہوتا نا وہ فیم سٹوریز نکالتے ہیں نا کہ جو سٹوریز لوکلی ان کو بک جاتی ہیں اچھا یہ یہ اپ کو ایک بات بتاؤں انڈیا میں پاکستان دشمنی بکتی ہے ٹھیک ہے ہمارا مسئلہ انڈیا نہیں ہے ویسے اب مسلمان ہیٹرڈ بھی بک رہی ہے ہاں وہ تو خیر وہ تو اوور ال بکتی ہے ہیٹرڈ ان کے وہاں پہ لیکن میں کہہ رہا ہوں کہ ہمارا مسئلہ انڈیا نہیں ہے ہمارے یہاں پر انڈین دشمنی نہیں بکتی ہے ہ یعنی اپ انڈین دشمنی اب انڈیا ساڈے تے حملہ کروے اسیں اے گل کر ظاہر ہے وہ ایک چونکہ ایشو چل رہا ہوگا لوگ اس کو سنیں گے لیکن اب کوئی ایشو نہیں چل رہا تہ اسیں جناب اے انڈیا دے حوالے گفتگو شروع کر دیے لوگ نہیں سنیں گے کیونکہ یہاں انڈیا ہمارا مسئلہ نہیں ہے مگر انڈیا کے اندر مودی کی وجہ سے پاکستان مسئلہ ہے ان کا وہ ہماری جو نفرت ہے ہمارے بارے میں نفرت انگیز گفتگو کر کے وہاں پر اپنے ووٹر کو اپنے ساتھ جوڑ کے رکھنے کی کوشش کرتا ہے کیونںکہ کے ہندوتو کی بنیاد اینٹی پاکستان اینٹی مسلمان ہے یہ مسئلہ ہے پاکستان کی بنیاد اینٹی ہندوتو نہیں ہے اچھا داؤد ابراہیم جو ہیں وہ پولیٹیشن تو ہیں نہیں نہ ہی کوئی اس طرح کی انہوں نے کوئی تنظیم بنا رکھی ہے کہ جس میں باوجود ان کے کوئی دوست ہے باپ فالورز کے لیے اپ کے پاس خبر یہ ہے کہ وہ بالکل حیات محفوظ ہیں جی حیات ہیں تندرست میں تو یہی سمجھتا ہوں تندرست ہے میں یہی سمجھتا ہوں اور دیکھیں میری ایک بات سنیں وہ کوئی ایسا بندہ نہیں ہے کہ اگر وہ کہیں مر جائے خدانخواستہ میں اس لیے خدانخواستہ کہہ رہا ہوں میں کسی کے لیے میں موت کا نہیں سوچتا میں مودی کے لیے بھی نہیں سوچتا میں تو کہتا ہوں اللہ اس کو زندہ رکھے اور وہ اپنے کرتوت اپنی زندگی میں دیکھے ان کا ان کا رزلٹ کیا نکلتا ہے لیکن بات یہ کہ جب بھی ایسے کسی ادمی نے گزر جانا ہوتا ہے تو پھر دنیا کو خود ہی پتہ چل جاتا ہے اپ اس کو چھپا بھی نہیں سکتے اپ اس کو دبا بھی نہیں سکتے مین اٹس ناٹ سمپل اپ کے خیال میں اس کے نیچے لڑائیاں نہیں ہوں گی پھر ایک دم قبضے نہیں ہو رہے ہوں گے پھر اس کی پاور سینٹرز جو ہیں اس کے اوپر ایکوائر کرنے کے لیے مخالف گروپوں کی نہیں اپس میں تصادم ہوگا سب کچھ ہوگا اچھا گروپوں میں ادھر بھی جو ہے وہ ایک سلسلہ جاری تھا ا قتل و غارت گری کا ا کچھ عرصے سے تو تھما ہوا بھی لگ رہا تھا لیکن اچانک جو ہے ایک واقعہ ہوتا ہے کہ طیفی بٹ جو ہے امیر بلاج قتل کیس میں وہ اتے ہیں ان کے ساتھی چھڑانے اتے ہیں اور جو ہے نا وہ مقابلہ ہو جاتا ہے اور وہ ہلاک ہو جاتے ہیں اس کے بعد گوگی بٹ کے حوالے سے اب اطلاعت ہیں کہ جی کہ وہ نامزد ملزم ہیں وہ ان ساتھیوں میں شامل تھے جو رحیم یار خان سے طیفی بٹ کو چھڑا رہے تھے تو سی سی ڈی پہ بار بار بات اتی تھی سی سی ڈی کے حوالے سے ٹرولنگ ہو رہی تھی کہ جی ماڑے بندے کو ساتھی چھڑانے اتے ہیں تگڑے کو نہیں چھڑانے اتے اب گوگی بٹ کا کیا ہوگا بٹ صاحب کیا اطلاع دیکھیں گوگی بٹ کے بارے میں تو اطلاعات متضاد ہیں ا ایک اطلاع یہ ہے کہ وہ بھاگ گئے جیسے ہی طیفی بٹ کے وہاں پہ پکڑے جانے کی اطلاع ائی اپ ذرا تھوڑا سا اگر ہم ایونٹس اس کو ان دنوں کو ذہن میں لا کے دیکھیں گے تو بات میرا خیال زیادہ کلیئر ہو جائے گی۔ اصل میں کل تک بیل بھی تھی نا کل خارج ہوئی نا اچھا وہ بیل تو خیر اپنی جگہ پہ وہ بیل بیل بنن والے پائن کریکٹر نہیں ہے بیل ہے یہ گی نہیں یہ یہ مسئلہ نہیں ہے ان کا جو بات میں کہہ رہا ہوں وہ یہ ہے کہ جب تک تیفی بٹ کے وہاں پر گرفتاری کا معاملہ نہیں ہوا دبئی کے اندر کہ وہاں پر ان کو گرفتار کر لیا گیا تب تک گوگی بٹ کے مسلسل کبھی کوئی یوٹیوبر انٹرویو کر رہا ہے کبھی کوئی یوٹیوبر انٹرویو کر رہا ہے تو ان کے انٹرویوز کا سلسلہ جاری جیسے ہی بلکہ منصور علی خان کا تو میں نے ویلاگ سنا اس نے کہا کہ مجھے اپروچ کیا ہے انہوں نے اچھا چلیں کیا ہوگا لیکن میں کہہ رہا ہوں جیسے ہی ا وہ تیفی بٹ کی گرفتاری کی اطلاع اتی ہے کہ وہاں پر وہ گرفتار ہو گئے ہیں تو اس کے بعد اچانک ایک دم سے گوگی بٹ کے انٹرویوز کا سلسلہ رک جاتا ہے

The YouTube transcript from the Mansoor Ali Khan channel provides an exclusive update on the political and legal situation involving the TLP leader, Saad Rizvi, including his rumored location in Azad Kashmir and details on the substantial assets, including nearly two kilograms of gold and over 110 million Pakistani Rupees, allegedly recovered from his residence. The report also documents the resumption of public life and transit services in areas like Islamabad and Rawalpindi following the recent unrest, while noting the ongoing arrests of TLP workers across Punjab and the filing of multiple new criminal cases against Rizvi and other leaders. Additionally, the source briefly covers other key political developments, such as a Peshawar High Court ruling mandating the swearing-in of a new Chief Minister, and an HRCP report expressing concern over an increase in alleged extrajudicial killings in Punjab. Finally, the segment concludes with a discussion of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent remarks regarding a peace formula for Gaza and Pakistan’s foreign policy stance.
The whereabouts of Saad Rizvi have become known, following a search that had been underway for the previous 48 hours. The exact location was shared exclusively in the source material.
Traced Location Details
According to the information gathered, the locations of Saad Rizvi and his brother, Anas Rizvi, were traced after they contacted their relatives (अजीजोकारिब) to update them on their well-being (खैर खैरियत के बारे में).
The specific region identified through this tracing method is Azad Kashmir.
However, the source notes that while the general region is known, the exact city or specific location (एग्जैक्टली किस शहर में हैं किस मुकाम के ऊपर हैं) where Saad Rizvi is currently located has not yet been traced.
Media Reports and Police Strategy
Media Dissemination: Following the tracing, various television channels reported that Rizvi’s location had been identified. Some reports citing sources suggested that it would be best for him to surrender (सरेंडर कर दें).
TLP Leadership’s Response: When contacted, the current leadership or media in-charge of the TLP stated they still did not know Saad Rizvi’s location, despite seeing the news on TV.
TLP Fears: The TLP leadership expressed concern (डर) that the tracing reports might lead to a situation where a police encounter (पुलिस मुकाबला) occurs and Rizvi could be targeted. They clarified that this was a fear (डर) and not a confirmed report (खबर नहीं है).
Police Objective for Arrest: Authorities are making efforts to ensure that if an arrest (गिरफ्तारी) is to take place, it happens without resistance (बगैर किसी मजामत के), bloodshed (बगैर किसी खून खराबे के), or violence. The police wish to avoid any undesirable incident (कोई अगली इंसिडेंट) that could create unrest (बदमस्गी पैदा हो) or incite his followers.
TLP Leadership and Worker Arrests in Punjab
The sources detail various aspects of the arrests and subsequent legal proceedings concerning the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) leadership and workers following recent protests.
Ongoing Arrests and Police Actions
The process of arresting TLP workers (कारकुनान) is still underway across the province of Punjab, with police conducting various raids (छापे).
Police claim that during the protests (एतेजाज), they captured a large quantity of weaponry. The recoveries reportedly include unlicensed weapons, semi-automatic and automatic guns (SSGs), and bulletproof jackets, which were allegedly recovered from vehicles.
Police have stated they are determined not to offer a “free hand” to the protesters this time. Historically, previous incidents often ended with deals and negotiations with the government, leading to the termination of cases and the release of those arrested, but police insist that no deal or negotiations have taken place in the current situation, and they intend to pursue the matter to the end.
Specific Cases and Accusations
Multiple legal cases (FIRs) have been registered against the TLP leadership and workers across various cities:
Muridke Cases
In Muridke, three new cases were registered at Thana City Muridke against Saad Rizvi, his brother Anas Rizvi, members of the TLP Majlis-e-Shoora, and protestors. This brings the total number of cases registered against them in Muridke to four.
The accusations leveled against Saad Rizvi, Anas Rizvi, and the TLP central leadership in these four cases include:
Spreading incitement (इश्तियाल अंगेज़).
Inciting people to burn and destroy property (जलाओ गिराव पर उकसाने).
Committing violence.
Speaking ill of the government, state institutions, police, and administration.
Inciting the public to stand against the state.
The three newly registered FIRs include serious charges across 30 sections of the law, such as attempted murder (एकदामे कत्ल), police confrontation (पुलिस मुकाबला), blocking roads, and burning government and private property.
Rawalpindi/Motorway Cases
A case was registered against 200 TLP workers for throwing stones at cars on the motorway and breaking the window of a government vehicle.
In Rawalpindi/Pindi, another case was registered at Rawat Police Station based on the complaint of Sub Inspector Najeebullah. This case names Saad Rizvi, the TLP Ameer, along with local leadership and workers.
The charges in the Rawat FIR include blocking the highway despite the imposition of Section 144 (which banned processions/gatherings), firing directly at police, resistance, and snatching ammunition.
Total Arrest Count (Muridke Claim)
According to police claims, 104 accused persons (मुलजिमान) have been arrested in connection with the three newly registered FIRs. An additional four accused were reportedly detained in the first FIR. This means that, according to police claims, the cumulative number of arrests made across these four FIRs is 108 accused.
Police reported recovering objects from the arrested individuals, including petrol bombs, pistols, sticks, clubs, and stones.
Judicial Proceedings (Anti-Terrorism Court)
Seventeen TLP workers, arrested for blocking roads and damaging government and public property, were presented before an Anti-Terrorism Court (इंसदाद दहशतगर्दी अदालत). The accused included Ibrahim Hasnain, Hafiz Muhammad Naeem, and Muhammad Parvez.
The investigating officer had requested a 30-day physical remand. However, the court remanded the accused to police custody for 17 days physical remand and ordered the investigative report to be presented at the next hearing.
High-Profile Leaders and Due Process
While the location of TLP Ameer Saad Rizvi was traced to Azad Kashmir, police are attempting to ensure that any potential arrest (गिरफ्तारी) is carried out without resistance, violence, or bloodshed. Authorities are aiming to prevent any undesirable incident that could create unrest (बदमस्गी पैदा हो) or incite his followers.
Following the police action, Fawad Chaudhry, in a tweet, congratulated the authorities for the police action against the TLP, emphasizing the state’s need to assert its authority. However, he also stressed that all accused, including Saad Rizvi, must be arrested and due process followed. He emphasized that no citizen should be subjected to violence and must be presented in court to receive their legal rights.

Pakistan: Political Aftermath, Legal Actions, and Foreign Policy
The sources detail several significant political developments, focusing primarily on the aftermath of the TLP protests, judicial actions against major political figures, resolutions in provincial governance, and statements on foreign policy.
Restoration of Normalcy Post-Protests
Following the massive protests, administrative decisions were made to restore essential services and mobility:
Faizabad Interchange: The administration decided to open the Faizabad Interchange, which connects Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Containers used to block the route have begun to be removed.
Transport Services: The Metro Bus Service (from Faiz Ahmed Faiz Station to the Airport) has been restored. In Lahore, the Orange Line, Speedo Bus, and Metro Bus services were also restored after five days.
Commercial Activities: Orders were issued for the opening of transport hubs, hotels, hostels, restaurants, and shops, and the Faizabad Market began operating again.
Judicial and Legal Developments
Significant legal proceedings were initiated against individuals from various political groups:
Action Against TLP and Due Process
Fawad Chaudhry’s Stance: Fawad Chaudhry congratulated authorities for the police action against the TLP, asserting that it was necessary for the state to enforce its authority. However, he emphasized that the arrest of all accused, including Saad Rizvi, must be carried out according to the law. He stressed that no citizen should be subjected to violence and must be presented in court to receive their legal rights.
Action Against PTI Figures
Imran Khan’s Sister: The Anti-Terrorism Court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khanum, in connection with the Sadqabad siege and arson case from November 26. The court rejected her request for exemption from appearance and adjourned the hearing.
Imran Khan’s Views on Democracy: Barrister Gohar stated that Imran Khan expressed happiness over the completion of the Chief Minister’s election process in KPK. Khan emphasized that all MPAs participated in the voting without coercion, and the oath-taking ceremony should be completed smoothly, stressing that the democratic process should be flawless and operate according to the law.
Human Rights Concerns on Policing
A report published in the Dawn newspaper by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) raised serious concerns regarding alleged extrajudicial killings.
The HRCP report claimed that since January 2025, over 500 alleged encounters have taken place in Punjab, resulting in more than 670 fatalities. This number is reported to be the highest among all provinces.
The HRCP asserted that extrajudicial killing is being used as an alternative to the criminal justice system.
The report expressed “deep concern” that the Crime Control Department (CCD), a special wing of the Punjab police, established in February 2025, has become a parallel police force. The CCD reportedly has wide-ranging powers to detain suspects and conduct lethal operations against criminals. The HRCP warned that this trend undermines the rule of law and constitutional guarantees, particularly the right to a fair trial.
Provincial Governance (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
The selection and oath-taking of the new Chief Executive in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) saw swift judicial resolution:
Peshawar High Court Ruling: The Peshawar High Court issued a decisive ruling on the matter of the new Chief Minister’s oath.
Court Order: The court ordered Governor Faisal Karim Kundi to administer the oath to the new Chief Minister (CM) on the following day without fail. If the Governor does not administer the oath, the court stated that the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly will administer it. The selection of the new Chief Executive had already taken place.
PPP Stance: Following the court decision, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, speaking at an event in Karachi where Kundi and CM Sindh Murad Ali Shah were present, publicly asked Kundi to “fulfill your constitutional responsibility” and administer the oath to the CM. The source notes that the previous delay was arguably “embarrassing” for the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).
JUI-A Challenge: Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s party (JUI-A) challenged the election of the new CM (Sohail Afridi is mentioned as the elected CM). JUI-A argued that Ali Amin Gandapur’s resignation had not been accepted, making the election of the second CM illegal and unconstitutional. The source suggests this petition may become redundant given the High Court’s order demanding the oath be administered immediately.
Foreign Policy Stance (Gaza and US Relations)
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made statements regarding international events and Pakistan’s foreign policy following a conference:
Tweet on Trump: PM Sharif tweeted regarding his attendance at the Gaza Peace Conference in Sharm El Sheikh. He shared his thoughts on how the events could prove to be a “historic turning point”.
Gaza Priority: He stated that Pakistan’s foremost priority was the immediate cessation of the “genocide campaign” being perpetrated in Gaza. This priority was clearly and repeatedly conveyed in collaboration with other fraternal nations.
Gratitude to Trump: The Prime Minister expressed gratitude to “President Trump” (Sadar Trump) for his promise to end this oppression, noting that Trump fulfilled his word.
Palestinian State: PM Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s “fundamental priority” as the freedom, dignity, and prosperity of the Palestinian people. He stated that the establishment of a strong and viable Palestinian state with Al-Quds Sharif as its capital, based on the pre-1967 borders, is, and will remain, the foundation of Pakistan’s Middle East policy. The source notes that Pakistan’s consistent foreign policy emphasizes that the borders should remain those existing in 1967.
Pakistan’s Gaza Peace Policy and Trump Gratitude
The discussion regarding Pakistan’s foreign policy stance centers on the statements made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif following his attendance at an international conference concerning Gaza.
Prime Minister’s Statements on Gaza Peace Conference
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shared his thoughts via a tweet upon returning from the Gaza Peace Conference in Sharm El Sheikh. He suggested that the events transpiring there could potentially be a “historic turning point”.
He affirmed Pakistan’s deep involvement in the process.
Key Priorities and Stances
Pakistan’s policy stance was articulated around two major priorities concerning the conflict:
Immediate Cessation of Conflict: Pakistan’s most significant priority was the immediate cessation of the “genocide campaign” being perpetrated in Gaza. This priority was clearly and repeatedly conveyed in collaboration with other fraternal nations.
Palestinian Statehood: The freedom, dignity, and prosperity of the Palestinian people remain a fundamental priority for Pakistan.
Commitment to Pre-1967 Borders
The long-standing foundation of Pakistan’s Middle East policy was reaffirmed by PM Sharif:
The policy rests on the establishment of a strong and viable Palestinian state with Al-Quds Sharif as its capital.
This state must be based on the pre-1967 borders.
The source notes that Pakistan’s consistent foreign policy has always maintained that the borders should remain those existing in 1967 and should not be changed (तब्दील किया जाए).
Gratitude Towards President Trump
PM Sharif expressed gratitude to “President Trump” (Sadar Trump).
This gratitude was based on the belief that Trump had promised to end this oppression (जुल्म) and fulfilled his word.
The Prime Minister affirmed that Pakistan would continue to express appreciation for Trump’s “unique endeavor” (मुनफिद काविश) for peace.
However, the source notes that this expression of gratitude drew criticism from opponents who suggested the praise was “too sweet” (मिठा कुछ ज्यादा ही हो गया सी).
The source also mentions that many political forces in Pakistan believe that the recent peace formula brought forward by Donald Trump involves “tampering” (छेड़खानी) with the established policy. PM Sharif’s tweet was cited as confirming that Pakistan remains committed to its original policy (1967 borders).

तमाम मुलजिमों की गिरफ्तारी जाहिर की जाए और कानून पर अमल हो नाम कर देना रियासत का काम नहीं हुकूमत खुद कानून का एतराम करे ताकि शहरियों से कानून पर अमल का मुतालबा कर सके अहम यह है कि कोई भी शहरी तशद्दुद का निशाना ना बने और उसे अदालत में पेश किया जाए और उसके कानूनी हुकूक जो है उसे दिए जाए इसके अलावा एक और खबर के मुताबिक जनाब डॉन अखबार में एक बड़ी इंटरेस्टिंग रिपोर्ट जो है वो शाया हुई है और ह्यूमन

फरवरी 2025 में पंजाब पुलिस के खुसूसी विंग क्राइम कंट्रोल डिपार्टमेंट के कयाम के बाद सीसीडी जिसे कहते हैं उसके बाद से ये बढ़ता जा रहा है और उन्होंने गहरी तश का इज़हार किया है कि सीटीडी जिसे असल में जरा पर काबू पाने के लिए बनाया गया था अब एक मुतवाजी पुलिस फोर्स बन चुकी है जिसे एफआईआर के अंदर मुज्तबा अफराद को हिरासत में लेने और खतरनाक मुजरिमान के खिलाफ जानलेवा कारवाइयां करने के वसी इख्तियारात हासिल हैं और उन्होंने खबरदार किया कि ये रुझान कानून की हुक्मरानी और आईनी जमानतों खुसूसन मुंसफाना ट्रायल के हक को कमजोर करता है तो ये एचआरसीपी की रिपोर्ट जो है वो ये सामने आई है इसके साथ-साथ कुछ सियासत के मैदान से भी खबरें शामिल करेंगे और वहां से जनाब खबर ये है कि पाकिस्तान तहरीकसाफ को एक बड़ी कामयाबी मिली है और वो मामला था जनाब नए वजीरआला के हलफ लेने का पेशावर हाई कोर्ट में ये मामला चल रहा था आज फैसला महफूज़ किया गया अब से कुछ देर पहले जो है वो फैसला सुना दिया गया है और उसके अंदर फैसल करीम कुंडी साहब जो गवर्नर हैं उनको अदालत ने ये हुकुम दिया है कि आप कल हर सूरत जो है वो चीफ मिनिस्टर से नए चीफ मिनिस्टर से हलफ लें गड्ढापुर साहब जो है वो ऑलरेडी फ्लोर ऑफ़ द हाउस अनाउंस कर चुके हैं कि उन्होंने अपने ओदे से इस्तीफा दे दिया है तो अब नए चीफ एग्जीक्यूटिव का इंतखाब ऑलरेडी हो चुका है तो अब आप कल जो है अगर आप नहीं लेते तो फिर स्पीकर जो है वो उनसे हलफ ले अब इसी दौरान जब ये एक्चुअली ये सब कुछ हो रहा था पेशावर हाईको से ये फैसला अनाउंस हुआ तो उसी वक्त कराची के अंदर एक तकरीब जारी थी पाकिस्तान पीपल्स पार्टी की जिसमें बिलावल भुट्टो जद्दारी वहां पे मौजूद थे और फैसल करीम कुंडी भी क्राउड में बैठे हुए थे और चीफ मिनिस्टर सिंध मुराद अली शाह वो भी क्राउड में बैठे हुए थे तो वहां पे बिलावल भुट्टो ने जो है वो ये कहा कि जनाब मैं फैसल करीम कुंडी साहब को कहूंगा कि आप बेशक अभी चीफ मिनिस्टर का जहाज जो है वो चाहे लेके जाए लेकिन आप अपनी आईनी जिम्मेदारी पूरी करें अब मुझे समझ नहीं आ रही थी कि मतलब मैं तो खुद ये

had I had an excellent meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Havana and it was a step forward towards resolution of disputes between India and Pakistan I did tell him on the way forward that we are moving on the Kashmiri dispute special coming on the other side we had any in-depth discussion on what is happening in Afghanistan and our tribal agency they are I explained to him whatever we are doing in the form of the peace treaty that we have just signed through a grand Georgia which is an assembly of elders this treaty is not to deal with the Taliban it is actually to fight the Taliban the misperception in the media I did clarify to the president and may I very briefly say and what I explained to the president that this is a holistic approach that we are taking to fighting terrorism in Pakistan in the tribal agency tribal agencies of Pakistan this is a political side of the holistic strategy the holistic strategy being the military arm being used a political element and administrative element and a reconstruction element so we want to move on all these aspects forward confining myself to this deal this deal is not at all with the Taliban as I said this is against the Taliban actually this deal is with the tribal elders of North Waziristan agency and the deal has three bottom lines which we fix for ourselves and this is very important which I explained to the peloton number one there will be no al-qaeda activity in our tribal agencies or across the border in Afghanistan there will be no Taliban activity in our tribal agencies or across in Afghanistan there will be no Taliban ization which is a obscurantist thoughts or way of life Nothe liberalization so all these three have been agreed by the tribal elders who signed that deal and when they sign the deal they are honorbound and they have a very strict on a code to not only abide by it but also that whoever violates it they move against them so this is in brief the deal which I explained to the president and I I know that he is satisfied with that deal and maybe this shows the light or the way forward for bringing peace to the region so this is what we discussed holistically that I would like to conclude by saying we have we had a total understanding of views between President Bush and myself and as I said we reinforced our trust and confidence in either in each other thank you very much that you have two questions have pasted them after 9/11 would the United States have actually attacked Pakistan if President Musharraf had not agreed to cooperate with the war on terrorism he says that the United States was threatening to bomb his country back into the Stone Age and President Musharraf would Pakistan have given up its backing of the Taliban if this threat had not come from Armitage first let me let me let me that he’s asking about the our mother’s thing I am you know the first I heard of this is when I read it in the newspaper today III you know I was I guess I was taken aback by the harshness of the of the words all I can say is is that shortly after 9/11 secretary Colin Powell came in and said President Musharraf understands the stakes and he wants to join and help route out an enemy that has come and it killed 3,000 of our citizens matter of fact my recollection was that one of the first leaders to step up and say that the stakes have changed that attack on America that killed 3,000 the citizens needs to be dealt with firmly was the President and if I’m not mistaken : told us that if not the night of September the 11th shortly thereafter now I need to make sure I get my facts straight but it was soon I don’t know of any conversation that was reported in the newspaper like I just don’t know about it I would like to I’m launching my book on the 25th and I am honorbound to Simon & Schuster not to comment on the book before that Dave in other words by the book is what he’s saying my question is about the US president yes excellency president musharraf has issued a call for building bridges and promoting interfaith harmony between the west and the Islamic world which is in the upheaval and in complete turmoil so your comments of Islamic fascist and then the comments of the Pope and in flipped and inflammation Islamic world and my question is that would you take the leading role along with President Musharraf to build these bridges and promote interfaith harmony to avert any wrong notion of clash of civilizations I appreciate the president’s leadership in promoting harmony there is unbelievable propaganda in the Middle East these days that try to inflame passion the the propagandists are attempting to create conditions where terror is justified and so at my speech at the United Nations I stood up and said loud and clear America respects Islam and we do we don’t respect people who kill in the name of Islam to achieve political objectives like the terrorists whose matter of fact I these extremists exploit propaganda in order justify their behavior all of us need to step up and talk about a world in which we respect each other’s religions matter of fact is very important for Muslims around the world to know there’s a lot of Muslims living at peace here in the United States they are proud Americans and they’re equal to me as a citizen we respect their religions I repeat to you however that the free world in the moderate world must stand up to these extremists and not let them spread their hateful propaganda now let them try to incite the incite people to acts of violence because these extremists are not only against Western people they’re also against moderate people and the president’s reaching out to help understand the world understand that the Muslim religion is a peaceful religion is very important and we can help and we will help one way we can help is to is to work with the Palestinians and the Israelis to achieve peace I’m the first president ever to have articulated a two-state solution I believe a Palestinian state as a democracy living side by side with Israel will yield the peace what’s important is for people to understand that in order to have that peace in that Palestinian state people have got to recognize Israel’s right to exist in order for this to happen you can’t ask people to negotiate with people who say you shouldn’t exist we will continue to give aid to people who suffer we didn’t ask the question whether you know what was the nature of the religion of the people who suffered in Pakistan when we spent a half a billion dollars to help this president we said they’re suffering and we want to help and so we will continue to outreach it’s important however for people in the Middle East to reject the extremist propaganda that is spreading in many cases absolute lies about the intentions of the United States they’d love to say this is a war against Islam I can’t think of anything more false these are moderate reasonable people who reject extremism in order for there to be peace so I work hard to do my part thank you for that question Steve thank you sir there’s been a back-and-forth this week over whether the US needs permission to strike inside Pakistan if Osama bin Laden is located could each of you give your position on that and you did you are you satisfied with his assurances on the tribal deal well first of all I appreciate the briefing on the tribal deal when the president looks him in the eye and says the tribal deal is intended to reject the Taliban ization of the people and that there won’t be a Taliban and won’t be al Qaeda I believe you know I mean it that this is a person with whom I’ve now had close working relationships for five and a half years and when he says if we find or when we find Osama bin Laden he will be brought to justice I believe in and we’ll let the tactic speak for themselves after it happens we’re on the hunt together it’s in the president’s interest that al Qaeda be brought to justice and it’s in our interest and we collaborate and we strategize and we talk a lot about how best to do this all I can tell you is is that when Osama bin Laden is found he will be brought to justice and that’s what we’ve continually discussed later I think as the president said we are in the hunt together against these people now why are we bothering of how to the semantics of the tactics of how to deal with the situation you’ll deal with it we are in the hunt together you want the person if at all we confront him if at all we find out his location we are quite clear what to do so let’s not get involved in how it ought to be done by whom it ought to be done there is total coordination at the intelligence level between the two forces there is coordination at the operational level at the strategic level even at the tactical level so therefore we are working together and when the situation arises we need to take the right decision to strike that’s how I don’t want let me I what we’re thinking about anyway doing and missing may I also say that we need to have ladies and gentlemen here we have the basis of a relationship is trust and confidence if we don’t have that trust and confidence in each other and we think that we are bluffing each other I don’t think that’s a good way of moving forward anyway okay I’m sorry Zafar Jung group of the newspapers mr. president I have two-part question and first I must rejoice the remarks which you gave the outset about President Musharraf and second is mr. president in Pakistan we cherish the idea of having strategic and long partnership with United States of America but we found that there is a discriminatory regime is being forward by your great country pertaining to the fear of the nuclear technology for the peaceful purpose Pakistan leaves of energy and we have been denied of that could you insure us that this discrimination will come to an end after your disgrace waiting with President Musharraf and the second part of my question mr. president that President Musharraf has been asking resolution of the problem of Palestine and cash weed for the sustainable peace in the world especially in this part of the world are you going to contemplate are you contemplating some step to take some initiative to resolve these two problems and question for mr. president is how far free life how is a song about your relations with President Bush and the agenda the item for which you are going to take up with the president how far you have been successful in persuading thank you sir you represented the entire press corps there that’s good we talked about energy and we talked about our need to work through the recent history of that we’ve had together on dealing with proliferation matters secondly in terms of Kashmir and Palestine Kashmir issue will be solved when two leaders decide to solve it and we want to help the United States can’t force nations to to reach an agreement it’s because we want there to be an agreement lasting agreements occur when leaders of nations say let’s get the past behind us and let’s move forward I am I’m encouraged by the meetings that the president and the Prime Minister of India had it is an indication that there is desire at the leadership level to solve this long-standing problem leadership is also going to be required between Israel and Palestine we of course can help and will help but it’s important for you to understand that we cannot impose peace we can help create the conditions for peace to occur we can lay out vision we can talk to world leaders and we do we can provide aid to help institutional buildings so that a democracy can flourish but ultimately peace long standing peace depends upon the will of leaders I’m impressed by this president’s will to get something done in Kashmir he and I have talked about this issue in the past he is said he was going to reach out to the Prime Minister’s of India and he has and our hope is that this process continues forward I asked the president just like I would ask the Prime Minister of India what can we do to help what would you like the United States to do to facilitate an agreement would you like us to get out of the way would you like us not to show up would you like us to be actively involved how can we help you if you so desire achieve peace and that’s that’s the role of the United States as far as I’m concerned thank you I think the I’ve already answered we’ve had far-reaching discussion encompassing bilateral issues regional and international I think we have general consensus on all issues Thank You mr. brother good job by the board thank you thank you very much thank you all

This suggests that seeking refuge in Allah is associated with the commencement of something, in this case, taking the name of Allah. It is also directly linked to seeking protection from Satan. The text immediately follows this by praising Allah as great, most merciful, and the source of all creation. This juxtaposition implies that Allah is the ultimate protector and the one to whom refuge should be sought from evil influences like Satan.
The Centrality of Praising Allah
Based on the sources, praising Allah is a central theme. The excerpt from “01.pdf” begins immediately after the statement about seeking refuge in Allah by declaring, “All praise is for Allah who is the source of all creation“.
This verse establishes that all praise is due to Allah because He is the originator and sustainer of everything that exists. The text continues to describe Allah as “The Lord is most kind and merciful“, further highlighting attributes that warrant praise.
The overall tone of the initial verses emphasizes Allah’s greatness, mercy, and power, all of which serve as reasons for offering praise. By acknowledging Allah as “great The Most Merciful is Most Merciful in every way” and “the source of all creation,” the text lays the foundation for recognizing His supreme status and the appropriateness of directing all praise towards Him.
Belief in the Unseen: A Defining Trait of Believers
Based on the source “01.pdf”, belief in the unseen (Ghaib) is a fundamental characteristic of the believers. The text states, “Abstinence is a guide for those who believe in the unseen having faith and praying with respect“. This verse immediately links belief in the unseen with having faith and performing prayers respectfully, suggesting that these are interconnected aspects of piety.
The source further elaborates on what believers have faith in, mentioning “the afterlife“. This indicates that belief in a life after death is part of believing in the unseen.
The text contrasts believers with disbelievers, noting that the disbelievers “may or may not give them advice It is equivalent to not believing in Allah Their hearts and ears are sealed and their eyes are veiled”. This implies that a lack of belief in the unseen is associated with disbelief in Allah and a state of being closed off from guidance.
Furthermore, the source mentions, “These are the people who believe in the afterlife They are following the guidance given by the Almighty And the successful ones are those who are disbelievers”. This reiterates the importance of belief in the afterlife as a marker of those who follow divine guidance and are considered successful, contrasting them with disbelievers.
In summary, according to the source, belief in the unseen is a core tenet of faith, encompassing belief in things not directly perceived, such as Allah, the afterlife, and potentially other aspects of the divine realm. This belief is presented as a defining characteristic of believers and is linked to receiving guidance and achieving success, while its absence is associated with disbelief and spiritual blindness.
Guidance and Truth in the Quran
Based on the source “01.pdf” and our conversation history, guidance and truth are central concepts within the text.
Guidance (Hidayat):
The Quran is presented as a primary source of guidance. It is described as “this book means Quran Majeed There is no doubt that it is the word of Allah Abstinence is a guide for those who believe in the unseen“. This indicates that the Quran offers direction for those who have faith in what they cannot see.
Believers are identified as those who follow guidance. The text states, “These are the people who believe in the afterlife They are following the guidance given by the Almighty And the successful ones are those who are disbelievers“. This implies that adhering to divine guidance leads to success, contrasting with those who disbelieve.
Allah is the ultimate source of guidance. It is mentioned that “Allah’s Hidayat means Deen Islam is the guidance“. Furthermore, the text notes that Allah “may grant safety to those who follow His will shows the way and by his command taking them out of the darkness into the light and guides them on the right path“.
The Prophet is a vehicle for guidance, sent as “a warner and a scaremonger“. The implication is that the Prophet conveys Allah’s guidance to humanity.
Rejecting guidance leads to misguidance. The text warns, “If you abandon guidance and purchase misguidedness then do not It was not their business that gave them any profit nor did this They were guided by the example of that person is the one who lit the fire…“. This highlights the negative consequences of turning away from the provided guidance.
Truth (Haqq):
The Quran is explicitly stated to be the truth. The verse “Alif Lam Meem this book means Quran Majeed There is no doubt that it is the word of Allah” asserts its divine origin and unquestionable truth. Additionally, believers acknowledge that “It is the truth from their Lord“.
Truth should not be mixed with falsehood, nor should it be concealed. The text commands, “never associate truth with falsehood Mix it up and don’t deliberately hide the truth“. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining the purity and clarity of the truth.
Belief in the revealed books is tied to believing in the truth. It is mentioned that if one were a man of faith, they would have believed in the truth, implying that the divine books contain the truth.
The Prophet is described as having been sent with truth. This reinforces the idea that the message he conveys is rooted in truth.
Ultimately, on the Day of Judgment, only the truth will benefit. This underscores the paramount importance of adhering to and upholding the truth in this life.
Recipients of Guidance and Truth:
Believers are the primary recipients of guidance and those who recognize and accept the truth. Our previous discussion highlighted that belief in the unseen is a characteristic of these believers who are guided [see our conversation history].
Obstacles to Guidance and Truth:
Disbelief (Kufr) is a major impediment to accepting guidance and truth.
Hypocrisy is portrayed as a state where individuals claim belief but their hearts are sealed, preventing them from true guidance.
Following desires can lead people astray from the guidance and the truth revealed by Allah.
Pride and stubbornness can prevent individuals from acknowledging and submitting to the truth.
Mixing truth with falsehood and deliberately hiding the truth are actions that actively obscure guidance.
Consequences of Following Guidance and Truth:
Those who follow guidance and believe in the truth are promised success, salvation from punishment, and entrance into Paradise.
Consequences of Rejecting Guidance and Truth:
Rejecting guidance and the truth leads to misguidance, severe punishment (including the fire of hell), and failure in both this world and the hereafter.
In summary, the source emphasizes that Allah, through the Quran and His Prophet, provides guidance (Hidayat) which is synonymous with the truth (Haqq). Believers are those who accept this guidance and truth, while disbelievers and hypocrites turn away, facing negative consequences. Adhering to guidance and truth is presented as the path to success and salvation.
Disbelievers: Characteristics and Divine Punishment
Based on the source “01.pdf” and our conversation history, disbelievers (Kafirun) are a significant group whose characteristics and the punishment (Adhab) they face are discussed extensively.
Who are the Disbelievers?
Disbelievers are those who do not believe in Allah. The text equates not taking advice with “not believing in Allah”.
They deny the truth (Haqq), which includes the Quran as the word of Allah.
They do not believe in the unseen (Ghaib), including the afterlife.
They are described as having their “hearts and ears are sealed and their eyes are veiled“, making them incapable of receiving guidance.
They are those who reject the verses of Allah.
They are identified as those who do not follow Allah’s guidance (Hidayat), which is equated with Deen Islam.
They are contrasted with believers who have faith and do good deeds.
The text mentions specific groups like the Jews and Christians who may disbelieve in certain aspects of the revealed books or the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Mushrikun (polytheists) are also considered disbelievers as they associate partners with Allah.
Characteristics and Actions of Disbelievers:
They deceive the Muslims and believers but ultimately deceive only themselves without realizing it.
There is disbelief in their hearts, described as a disease that Allah makes worse, leading to sadness because of their lies.
They are accused of causing mischief in the earth but claim to be reformers.
They reject faith even when called to it, questioning the intelligence of believers.
When meeting believers, they claim to have faith, but in private, they mock them.
They abandon guidance and purchase misguidedness.
They are described as deaf, dumb, and blind to the right path.
They make partners with Allah.
They deny the Day of Judgment.
They hinder others from the path of Allah.
They kill prophets without any reason and those who order justice.
They take the verses of Allah for a small price, prioritizing worldly gains over divine guidance.
They are unjust (Zalimun) and transgressors (Mu’tadin).
They follow their own desires rather than divine commands.
They attribute lies to Allah.
Punishment for Disbelievers:
The source outlines various forms of punishment for disbelievers, both in this world and, more prominently, in the afterlife:
A great punishment (Adhabun Azeem) is prepared for them.
Their hearts and ears are sealed, and their eyes are veiled, which can be seen as a form of spiritual punishment in this life.
They experience sadness because of their lies.
They will not attain profit from abandoning guidance.
Allah laughs at the hypocrites and gives them time to indulge in mischief and rebellion.
They will be left in darkness after having seen the light.
Allah surrounds the disbelievers on every side, implying inescapable divine power.
On the Day of Judgment, Allah will decide between them regarding their disagreements.
They will face a great punishment in the end.
They will be gathered towards Hell, which is described as a bad place.
Their wealth and children will be of no use in saving them from Allah’s punishment.
They will be the fuel for hell.
There will be a severe punishment for those who deny Allah’s verses.
They will face a painful punishment.
Their deeds will be ruined in this world and the hereafter, and no one will help them.
They will be cursed by Allah, the angels, and all of humanity.
The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be given respite.
Even if they offer an earth full of gold as ransom, it will not be accepted.
They will be in the lowest level of Hell.
They will have no helpers.
They will be disgraced on the Day of Judgment.
They will be made to taste the punishment of the fire.
They will be given boiling water to drink and a painful torment in hell.
Relationship to Guidance and Truth:
The punishment for disbelievers is directly linked to their rejection of guidance (Hidayat) and truth (Haqq), as we discussed previously. Because they refuse to believe in Allah, His revealed word (the Quran), the unseen, and the guidance provided by the Prophet, they incur divine wrath and are destined for severe consequences. The acceptance of guidance and belief in the truth are presented as the means of salvation, while disbelief is the path to punishment. The sealing of their hearts and veiling of their eyes, mentioned as characteristics of disbelievers, symbolize their rejection of spiritual insight and their willful blindness to the truth, ultimately leading to their punishment.

The lightning is so close in their eyes of Basari shines and casts light on them we walk in it and when it gets dark if it is then one remains standing and if Had Allah willed, they would have heard and The gaze of the eyes makes both of them jealous Without doubt, Allah is capable of everything People, worship your Lord who created you and those before you so that you can be saved from the punishment of the one who harmed you I made the ground my bed and the sky my roof And from the sky I will rain down water for you to eat for which the fruits of Anwa Aksa are produced Do not make anyone a partner of Allah and you know So be it and if you have read what we have written in this book I have revealed it to my servant, if there is any doubt You too make a similar face and Whoever is your helper besides Allah call them too if you are truthful then If you cannot do this and you will never be able to do it Fear the fire whose fuel is men and stones and which were prepared for the infidels And those who have faith and do good deeds Give them the good news that for them There are gardens of blessings beneath which canals flow when they are exposed to any of these If you are given dry fruits to eat then you will say this it is what was given to us earlier and to them We will be given fruits in the form of each other and There they will have pure wives, and they Allah will always remain in heaven because of this I don’t care about mosquitoes or anything more Description of things like flies, spiders etc. Now, those who are believers believe that It is the truth from their Lord, and whoever They are infidels and say that from this example What is the intention of Allah with this misleads many and makes many He guides and also misleads Only those who are disobedient to Allah’s covenant after strengthening it breaks and the Allah has decided to maintain a thing i.e. a relationship I have ordered her to cast her spells and These are the people who cause damage to the land You infidels are going to be taken from Allah why can you deny it in a situation where You were lifeless, so he gave you life He kills you and then he kills you He will make you alive and then you will return him to him you will go, it is he who has given all the things which are on the land I have created the skies for you towards Mutjens He has made his reputation and he is aware of everything And it is worth remembering the time when Your Lord said to the angels that I’m going to make my deputy in the ground He said, do you see such a person in it wants to make a Naib who can spoil it and do some other things Then you keep killing and we will praise you I keep on reciting tasbih and takdees, he said I know the things that you don’t know, He taught Adam the names of all things, then He presented him before the angels and said: If you are true, tell me their names. He said you are as pure as the knowledge you have We know nothing except what has been forgiven us No, of course you are wise and intelligent then Allah ordered Adam, “Adam, you tell them the names of these things so when they When he told them their names, he said to the angels Didn’t I tell you that I He knows all the hidden things of the skies and the earth and what you reveal and what you hide I know everything you do and when we He ordered the angels to go before Adam If you prostrate yourself, they all will fall down in prostration but Satan refused and became arrogant he became a kaafir (disbeliever) and we said: O Adam, you and May your wife live in paradise and wherever she is You can eat and drink without restriction if you want, but this tree Don’t go near him, otherwise you will be among the oppressors Then the devil caught both of them under that tree and in the comfort and pleasure We got them removed from there, then we ordered I told you to go away from paradise You are the enemy of others and the land for you I will fix a place and place for a time Then Adam was given this by his Lord He learnt some Kalma and asked for forgiveness, so he I forgave his mistake, of course he is willing to forgive He is the most merciful; we said that You all get off here when you have the If you receive advice from me, then follow it to do that those who followed my instructions that they will have neither any fear nor any sorrow and those who did not accept him and Those who deny our verses will go to Hell and he will always be there O family of Yaqub, remember my favors which I made a promise to you and I will fulfill that promise Do what you promised me, I will accept that I’ll finish what I promised to you and Be afraid of me and the book that I have given to you Rasool Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Wasallam But it is your book which has been revealed, i.e. It says that the Torah is true, believe in it and Do not be the first to deny it and My verses I paid a small amount in return for the bribe That is, do not achieve worldly rewards and Be afraid of it and never associate truth with falsehood Mix it up and don’t deliberately hide the truth And pray the namaz and give zakat, and bowed down with those who bowed down before Allah what is this smart thing that you people do You tell me to do good and for yourself Although you forget the name of Allah Do you even read the book, don’t you understand? Patience and prayer helped in times of grief and pain Do it and surely the prayer is fallen but on those people No, those who are going to do this, who believe he has done that he should pray to his God We are going to meet and go back to him O children of Jacob, they are my favors Remember the things I did to you, and I have given you superiority over the people of the world and be afraid of the day when someone will do something about someone Neither did it work nor did anyone’s recommendation accept it And no revenge of any kind should be taken against anyone It should be accepted and people should not help in any other way and remember those favors of ours When we freed you from the community of Pharaoh Bakshi, those people used to cause you a lot of pain They would have killed your sons and They allowed their daughters to live and in that Very strict from your lord It was a test and when we crossed the ocean for you I tore it apart and then I freed you and Pharaoh’s community was destroyed and you see and when We promised Moses forty nights So you worshipped the calf after them I decided and you were committing atrocities Then We forgave you so that Be thankful for the fact that when We gave Moses the Book And Moses blessed you so that you may be guided And when Moses told his people He said, brothers you have made the calf a god have put their lives at stake to stay So repent before your creator Then kill your own people, your Creator This is better for you then Of course he forgave you your mistake He is the most forgiving and the most merciful, When you said to Moses that until we I will not see Allah in front of me, I will have faith in you If you do not bring it, then lightning will surround you and You were watching after death came We revived you for nine days so that Be grateful and we will provide you with the shade of a cloud I kept it for you and my mind and my salwa I kept on taking off the pure things that we had given you I have given them food and drink but your The elders did not appreciate those blessings Jani and he would not do any harm to us rather we used to cause harm to ourselves and when we He told them to enter that village and Eat and drink as much as you want from wherever you want and watch entering the door in prostration and You say we will forgive your sins and if they give more to those who do good, then Those who were cruel, they took that word whose He was ordered to replace him with another So we started speaking words to those tyrants But punishment was sent down from the sky because were being disobedient and when Moses sent his When they asked us for water for the community, we said that he hit the stone with his stick When he hit it, twelve fountains burst out from it and All the people, having found their respective ghats, I drank the water and I commanded Allah Eat and drink the prescribed sustenance and Do not go about causing mischief in the land and when you He said that Moses could not tolerate us eating only one meal If possible, pray to your God that vegetables and cucumber and wheat and lentils and Onion etc. which grow in the barren land of our create it for me he said that it is excellent Why give up things and replace them with useless things? If these are the things you want then tell someone Go to the city and you will get what you ask for and will eventually be left humiliated, disgraced and needy And without any reason a tong was given to him and he got arrested in a shocking incident because he They denied the verses of Allah and They used to kill the prophets without any reason. Because people were disobedient and things went beyond limits People who were Muslims or Jews or Christian or star worshipper means a person Be a community of religion which believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment If one has faith and does righteous deeds, then such people who will get the reward of their deeds from Allah and on the Day of Judgment they will get it in some way there will be no fear of nor will they be sad and when We have made a promise to you and you will give Kohetur but he stood him up and ordered that the I have given you the book, hold it tightly stay and remember what is written in it so that Be safe from punishment, then you will be safe after that So if you turn away from it then the grace of Allah is upon you and Had it not been for his kindness you would have been in trouble you would have read it and you would have known those people very well Who among you eats fish on a weekday If you had crossed all limits in hunting then We told them to become cruel monkeys and This story was created for the people of that time and Those who were to come after them were to be taught a lesson and abstinence made it a lesson for the people and when Moses told his community that Allah He commands you to slaughter a bull He said, are you laughing at me Musa? said I seek refuge in Allah that I should become naive he said that in his Pray to God that he gives us this Moses said, “Tell me what kind of bull it is. God says that that bull neither Neither the old man nor the calf, but between them That means you are young so do as I command you do as he told you to do Pray to the Almighty to give us this Also tell me what its colour should be, said Moses It is said that God says that its color is dark It should be bright enough to make the viewers happy he said to the god now Then request us to tell you that And of what kind it should be because there are many bulls We know each other very well And if Allah wills, we will know the truth It will happen Moses said that Allah says that the ox is not engaged in work, He neither ploughs the land nor provides water for farming It should be flawless and should not have any kind of blemish He said, now you have told everything correctly With great difficulty he gave a roar to that bull while they seemed about to do so and when you killed a man So they started fighting among themselves, although the thing You were hiding it, Allah will reveal it so we said that the bull was going to Hit the deceased with a piece of it like this Allah gives life to the dead and to you shows the signs of his nature so that You understand, then your heart hardens as if they were stones or even bigger than that If the stones were harder, then the instruments would be like this that fountains burst out of them, and The eagles are such that they burst and in them Water starts to come out from it and the eagle looks like this They fall down out of fear of Allah And Allah is unaware of your deeds no momino do you expect that These people will be convinced of your religion Although some of these people are Kalam Ullah That means listening to the Torah and then understanding it. Later they have been changing it deliberately and this When people meet Momino they say We have accepted faith and when we are in solitude When we meet each other we say whatever Allah has revealed to you that you Because you tell them that on the Day of Judgment By reference to him your Lord I will blame you in front of your eyes, do you understand? No, don’t these people know that whatever what they hide and what they reveal Allah knows everything and some are ignorant of it. that except my desires there is no one except the book of Allah is not aware of it and he is working only on guesswork. So pity on those who take their He writes a book by hand and says that It has come from Allah so that due to Him A small price means gaining worldly bounty Whatever they do, I feel sorry for them because it is meaningless Write things down with your hand and then It is a pity that they do such things and They say that the fire of hell will last for a few days You cannot even touch them, ask them You have taken a vow to Allah that Allah will not do anything against His promise, You say such things about Allah whose to you not a Mutlu who does bad deeds and his If crime surrounds him from all sides then such people are going to hell and they will remain there forever will continue to be jealous and those who believe and do good deeds He will be the owner of Paradise and forever we will keep enjoying it and when we made it Israel was promised that no one other than Allah Do not worship anyone and do not respect your parents and with relatives and orphans and needy Keep doing good and speaking nicely to people keep saying and offering namaaz and giving zakat Except a few people, all of you are from that era you turned your face away and when we made a promise to you We took the oath that we should not kill each other and Do not drive your own people out of their homeland, then you You have agreed and you accept this fact too then you are the one who can even kill his own people and you give it to some of your own people By attacking with crime and oppression, they were forced to return to their homeland and if she is yours If they come to you as captives, then free them by paying revenge You also take it, although you have to throw it out it was haram on you what is it that you You do believe in some of the sayings of the Kitabullah And if you deny the hawk then you If any of them do such act then their punishment will be nothing else what else could be the life of the world I am disgraced and the days of communion are harsh be put into severe punishment and whatever you do You do this; Allah is not unaware of them, these are the people those who have chosen this world in exchange for the hereafter If you have bought your life then the punishment from them is lighter No other kind of help will be provided to them and We gave Moses the Book and Other prophets were sent after him one after the other. And gave open target to Isa ibn Maryam and if Ruhal Qudsai helped him then is that so that when a prophet comes to you like this You brought things which you don’t like If I wanted you would have been rebellious and a The gang is lying to Ambiya and one is lying to the gang They keep killing and they say it’s on our hearts There are no curtains but Allah has made them They have been cursed because of their disbelief, so this They believe in only a few and when Allah From here he got a book which was his It also confirms the heavenly book and it Earlier they always used to ask for fata on the infidels Then the thing which he recognized very well when his When she came closer, he turned away from her The curse of Allah is on the infidels for whatever In return he sold it on his own it is bad, that is, because of the jealousy that Allah is on whomever of the slaves he wishes his It is revealed by the grace of Allah If they disbelieve in the Book that has been revealed He became engrossed in her amazing beauty And for the unbelievers there is a humiliating punishment And when they are told that the book Allah has now revealed it, if you believe in it They say that whichever book is revealed to us first It has already happened, we believe in that only, that is, this Although they do not believe in any other book except that She is absolutely true and she is the source of his heavenly blessings. Tell them that you have a book and confirm it too that if you were a man of faith then you would have Why were the prophets killed beforehand? and Moses had open doors with you Then you bring it to their Kohetur Later, you made the calf your god and you They used to oppress in the name of justice and when we He took a firm oath from the people and Kohetur stood over you and ordered that whoever I have given you the book, hold it tightly and listen to what you are commanded Then your elders started saying that We have heard it but we do not believe it Because of their disbelief the calf entered their hearts I was composed O Prophet tell them that if If you are a believer then your faith is bad for you tells us that if the abode of the hereafter and not for the people i.e. Muslims and A secret for you in the sight of Allah If you are truthful then wish for death And because of the deeds that send their hands forward We have already said that we will never desire her and Allah is well aware of the wrongdoers and they You are more aware of the joys of life than anyone else You will see that it is even better than the mushrik Each one of them wishes that I wish he lived for a thousand years but not for so long Even if he gets age, he will have to face punishment I can’t free myself from the work they do Allah is watching them, tell them that whoever If there is an enemy of Jibraeel, he will die in anger should go because he has read this book revealed to your heart by Allah’s command which confirms the first books And there is guidance and good news for those who believe. Whoever is the devotee of Allah and His angels, and of His prophets and Jibraeel and Mikaeel If there is an enemy of then the Allah of such infidels There is an enemy and we have a solution for you The verses are said to be false and only he who denies them when these people do what bad characters do When someone made a covenant with Allah, then one of them Fareek threw it away like a thing The reality is that they are often dishonest and When they had a prophet from Allah, Jama sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam came and he Their heavenly book also confirms this So among those who were given the book A group kept the book of Allah behind their backs threw it away as if he did not know and those They started chasing after the things which were the promises of Solomon In the Sultanate Shayano Mann did not talk about Mutlur but It was the devils who believed that people could use magic They used to teach and they, i.e. Bani Israel, those things who also went after the two in the city of Babylon It was descended upon the angels Harud and Marut And they both didn’t teach anybody anything. Unless you say that we are just trying the method O people, do not fall into disbelief, Learn the thing that causes separation between husband and wife and except by the order of Allah he cannot do that Nothing can harm anyone with this thing And she used to learn some mantras which would harm her they would only deliver it and would not give any benefit and he I knew that the person who is And the buyer of the mantra etc. will be his end no part in And for which they put their lives at stake I sold it, it was bad, would it have been good They would have known this and if they had believed And if you had avoided cursing, then you would have been saved from the sight of Allah Wouldn’t it have been nice if we got a very good reward They would have known about it, O people of faith. At the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam don’t tell Rayna don’t tell her that and Listen carefully and cause pain to the infidels There is a punishment for those who disbelieve in the people of the book or the mushrik do not like the fact that upon you people towards your Lord May goodness and blessings descend from him and Allah whomsoever he loves with his mercy, especially He takes it and Allah is the possessor of great grace The verse which We abrogate or forget, If you get it done then it will be better than that or similar to that Do you not know that Do you think Allah is capable of everything I do not know whether the kingdom of the skies and the earth It belongs to Allah and nothing else except Allah You have no friends and helpers Muslims, do you want that your from the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam ask the kind of questions you asked before were made to Moses and whoever believed If he leaves it and accepts disbelief in its place, then he will surely Many people have strayed from the straight path The book wishes with all its heart that After having accepted faith, you were again made a Kafir (non-believer) Although the right over them has already been declared, You forgive and beg, even May Allah send His second command, surely Allah There is power in everything and keep praying And keep giving zakat and whatever good you do for yourself If you send him, you will find him with Allah There is no doubt that Allah blesses us with all our deeds And the Jews and Christians say that no one except Jews and Christians This is the reason for these people not going to heaven These thoughts are false, O Prophet, tell them that If you are truthful then give your reasons why yes No, the person who bows his head before Allah That is, if one has faith and he is a righteous man, then His reward is with his Lord and Such people will not get any kind of punishment on the Day of Judgment. nor would they be sad and the Jews would say that Christians are not on the path and Christians say not on the Jewish path though he I read the divine book in the same way The same thing is said by those who I don’t know that means The Mushrik are those who disagree on the matter Allah will bless him on the Day of Judgment He will decide and who is more cruel than him the name of Allah in the mosques of Allah refuse to be mentioned and Try to give these people something to feel desolation I have no right to enter these mosques but There is disgrace in the world for those who are afraid And in the end there will be a great punishment and the east and the west Everything belongs to Allah so whichever way you turn Do it there, Allah is the one who is surely Allah Sahib is in power, there is a possibility and these people are aware of this fact. I am sure that Allah does not have children Pure is whatever is in the heavens and on the earth Everything belongs to Him and everyone is obedient to Him He is the creator of the skies and the earth And when someone wants to do some work, he He commands that if it happens then it will happen goes and those who don’t know anything i.e. Mushrik (Mushrik) are those who say that Allah speaks to us Why doesn’t he do it or do we have any signs Why don’t those who came before them come in the same way? He too used to talk like this These people have similar hearts To explain to those who believe in Sahib We have explained the signs, O Prophet We tell you the good news with truth He has sent him as a warner and a scaremonger, and I do not ask you anything about Hell and the Jews will never be happy with you And neither are Christians, nor do they follow their religion Take the initiative and tell them that Allah’s Hidayat means Deen Islam is the guidance and Prophet, if you have the knowledge i.e. the Even after Allah’s arrival, their desires are not fulfilled If you walk then you will be saved from the clutches of Allah There will be no friend or helper We have given the book to the people, it He reads as he is entitled to read These are the people who have faith in him And those who don’t believe in him are the ones who will get the reward O Children of Israel, remember my favor that I did to you and that I gave you He has bestowed great favour on the people of the world and fear that day When a person is of no use to another person And neither revenge should be accepted from him nor he Recommendation of someone may give some benefit and neither may it give any benefit to the people can get any other kind of help and when Abraham’s God told him a few things I tried it and he passed them perfectly He said, I will make you the leader of the people He said that God will make me He said that you should also make a Peshwa from among your children My word and agreement are not for the oppressors and when we opened the Kaaba to the people A place has been fixed for gathering and finding peace and ordered that at the place where Ibrahim used to stand there in prayer and command Ibrahim and Ishmael Sent to those who perform Tawaf and Takaaf and those who bow down and those who prostrate keep my house clean for the people And when Ibrahim prayed: O Lord Make this place a city of peace and its residents Of those who believe in Allah and the Hereafter If you give them dry fruits to eat, then believe Allah said that whoever is a kaafir (infidel) I I will give him the same life for some time But then he has to suffer the punishment of hell I will force you and that is a bad place and when Ibrahim and Ismail, the foundation of Baitullah When we were raising our hands, prayers were recited that May our Lord accept this service from us Of course you are going to hear and know O Lord, keep us obedient to you And from among our children also a group should be accepted as our own Make us obedient to orders and our God Tell me about our ways of worship and about our condition Pay attention with mercy, you are surely the one who pays attention The one who says is merciful, O God One of these prophets among the people Keys that I read out your verses to them and teach the book and the grain and You should purify your hearts without any doubt He is Ghalib, the master of wisdom and of Ibrahim Who can change the condition of the poor, Bajaj? of those who are absolutely ignorant and We have given them I had chosen this in this world and the hereafter In the future too, he will be among the righteous when he His Lord said, my Be obedient, so he requested that I became obedient to Rabbul Alameen and This is what Ibrahim told his sons He made a will and Yaqub also told his son This is what Allah said: O my sons If I have chosen this religion for you then If you have to die then you must die as a Muslim, when Yakub If you are dying, will you be present at that time? when he asked his sons Whom will you pray after me? He said that your God and your father Grandfather of Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac We will worship the God who is the one who has faith And we are obedient to his command, this group of people Since they will be rewarded for their deeds and You will be rewarded for your deeds and the actions you perform you will not be able to investigate them and the Jews And Christians say become either a Jew or a Christian then you will be on the right path oh prophet tell them Not two but we are the religion of Ibrahim Ikhtiyar which were being done for one Allah and Muslims were not among the mushrik Say: We believe in Allah and whatever is in the Book It was revealed to us and to him who is right; And Ishmael and Ibah and Yakub and their progeny But were revealed to them and the books which were revealed to Moses and Jesus was blessed upon them and others who to the prophets from their Lord We found them and believed in all those prophets we make no distinction between any of them and we Then we are obedient to that one God If these people also believed in the same way as If you have faith then you should be guided and If he turns his face away and refuses to listen, then he against you and against them Allah is sufficient for you and He is the All-Listening He knows, say that we have followed Allah’s command I have adopted the color and from Allah Whose colour can be better and we will choose that colour tell them that they are going to pray whether you You argue with us about Allah Although He is our and your Lord and we will be rewarded according to our deeds, and You are responsible for your deeds and we are responsible for that only O Jews and Christians, they are worshippers You are convinced that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their children Were they Jews or Christians? O Prophet, tell them that Well do you know more or Allah Who is more cruel than him who sacrifices his life for the sake of Allah? which he has in the book and hide whatever you are doing This group of prophets is not unaware of this Because they will get what they did and you get what you did and what you do you will not be able to enquire about them you foolish people They will say that the tribe on which the Muslims already belong You used to come to me, now why are you turning your face away from him You say that the east and the west are all the people of Allah He belongs to whomever he wants the straight path But he drives you and in this way we have given you the Ummah I have created death in my heart so that you can be a witness against people Become another prophet and finally, sallallahu alaihi Wa Wasallam became a witness against you and on which Kabul You were there first, that’s why we decided on it It was to find out who was the successor of our Prophet Who remains submissive and who turns away and this thing i.e. Tahwil Qibla is known to the people It became clear to them, but those to whom Allah gave guidance I have forgiven them, they do not consider it a sin and Allah It’s not like your honor is lost just like that God bless you, for God is most kind to people O Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi, you are merciful Wali wasallam we are yours towards the sky we are looking at you raising your face, so we are giving you the same Face the side of the one you like If you order me to pay tax then I will tell you my face Turn your face towards the Haram Masjid i.e. the Kaaba And you people should pray wherever you are At this time, turn your face towards this mosque And those who have been given the book are very They know that this new Qibla is from their Lord they have rights from their side and the work that these people do Allah is not unaware of them and if you The People of the Book have all the signs with them Even if I come, this is not your argument and you too should follow their cause You are not the one and among these too many are the ones Kabale has no legs and if you in spite of that that you have the knowledge of Allah The order has come behind their desires If you walk, you will be among the oppressors to whom we have given the book, he is this prophet after all Jama Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Wasallam was asked in this way You recognize me the way you recognize your sons They do, but one difference among them is the truth O Prophet, you are hiding it deliberately Sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam this is the new qibla If you have the right from your Lord then You should never be among those who doubt and There is a time set for every person where When he prays, he turns his face May you gain strength in good deeds wherever you are Allah will surely bring you all together Allah is on everything and wherever you go In prayer, turn your face towards the Masjid Haram Take this without any doubt from your God you have the right and whatever you do Allah is not unaware of it and wherever you are Go out and pray facing the Haram Masjid Read and be a Muslim wherever you are This is the instruction to head towards this mosque This has been done so that people consider you as some kind of could not accuse, except those who are cruel among them If they accuse you, let them do so, so don’t be afraid of them And keep fearing me and this is also the purpose that I may bestow upon you all my blessings and this also that you walk on the path the way min We have you in all the words and blessings We have sent a messenger from among them who will tell you about our I recite the verses and purify you. They would make and teach the book i.e. Quran and Dana and tell you things that you never knew before You didn’t know me so remember me I will miss you and my Keep being grateful and don’t destroy me Believers, seek help from patience and prayer Surely, Allah is with those who are patient and those who are killed in the way of Allah In relation to this it is said that he is dead not dead but alive but to you We are not afraid and we are free from fear and hunger and wealth and Your loss of lives and fruits We will try and give patience to those who are patient Give the good news that when someone attacks those people When trouble strikes we say that we To Allah belongs all that is, and to Him shall we return These are the people who are going to leave It is God’s blessing and a special mercy and this is the right path, of course Safa and Marwa are among the signs of Allah So whoever goes to Kaaba for Hajj or Umrah There is no sin on him if both of them wandering around in the middle, but it is a noble deed And whoever does a good deed then Allah Those who obey our orders and The instructions which We have sent down to someone We hide our needs cleverly despite the fact that we my book to make people understand them I have openly stated about such people Curse Allah and all the cursers Yes, there are those who repent and their condition we correct it and we will forgive the Allah If they explain it clearly, then I will I forgive you for your mistake and I am very forgiving I am the most kind and merciful to those who disbelieve and only the infidels died, on such a person’s curse and Allah’s curse The curse of angels and humans alike They will always be trapped in this curse Neither will the punishment be lightened nor They will get some respite and people Your god is only one god, that great one There is no one to worship except the Kind and Merciful Certainly not worthy of being created by the heavens and the earth in doing and reuniting with each other night and day boats and ships coming and going behind I am in the sea for the benefit of the people and I am the one whom Allah has given from the sky it rains and makes the ground turn into a dead body After going, being alive means becoming dry Later it makes everything green and on the land kinds of animals help in spreading and the winds help in in running and in the clouds which are in the sky and the earth for the wise are surrounded by are signs of Allah’s power and the eagle People are such that they consider non-Allah as their They make partners and Allah loves them but those who are believers Allah has the most friends And O wrongdoers, if only at the time of punishment Now we will see that all kinds of power It is only for Allah and that Allah is strict The leader of disbelief is going to be punished that day will express his discomfort with his feet and Both will see the divine punishment and they will seeing this situation relations will get spoiled Those who follow will say with longing, oh if only May we be fortunate enough to go to sorrow again so that Just like they are getting fed up with us, we are getting fed up with it too You too should be fed up with them, this is how Allah rewards their deeds He will show his desire and come out of hell People will not be able to buy things which are halal in the land It is good that you eat it and do not follow the footsteps of Satan come on he is your open enemy You are forced to do only evil and shameless acts. and also says that such a reference to Allah Say things you don’t know about And when these people are told that Allah has revealed his book If you try to plead with them, they say no, we will We will advocate the same thing that we have believed in our I found my forefathers, even though their forefathers You neither understand anything nor are you on the right path Even then he will be followed by those who People are infidels, their example is like that man that gives voice to something that calls out And these deaf people can’t hear anything except sound are you dumb and blind, do you understand anything O people of faith, you cannot possess pure things We have given them to you, eat them and if If you are a servant of Allah then enjoy His blessings Be thankful, he just died for you and blood and swine’s meat and Anything on which the name of someone other than Allah is written It has become haram to be called yes, those who are compelled It may happen provided there is no disobedience to Allah do it and do not let the limit go beyond the need But there is no sin, surely Allah will forgive Allah is merciful to those who those verses and guidance from the book of He has revealed them in exchange for A small price means gaining worldly bounty They just fill their bellies with fire Allah will not bless such people on the Day of Judgment he will speak and will not purify them from their sins and there is a painful punishment for them These are the people who abandoned the guidance Leaving behind misguidedness and forgiveness, he bought the punishment How are you going to endure the pain of hell This is because Allah has given the Book of Truth and those who have read this book I disagreed with him out of stubbornness It is not only goodness that you have gone far away from the east And considering the Maghrib as the Qibla, turn your face towards it But the goodness is that people believe in Allah and Every day on the end and on the angels and on Allah Believe in the Book and the Prophets and In spite of being dear to relatives and orphans and the needy and the travelers and the beggars give it to him and spend it in freeing the neck And pray and pay zakat and take a pledge So complete it and with hardship and pain And these are the people who stood firm during the war those who are true in their faith and this is the You are Allah-fearing believers About Maktu, Kasas i.e. blood revenge The command for bloodshed is given in such a way that A free man should be killed in place of a free man and a slave should be killed in place of a slave slave for slave and woman for woman and if The murderer should be given some money from his deceased brother’s purse If the heir of the deceased is forgiven, Advocacy of the contract in the preferred manner i.e. Demand to shed blood and make the murderer happy I should pay it with your Ease for you from God And it is a kindness now that there is excess after this For him who does this is a punishment of suffering and for the people of wisdom Your life is in the hands of the order You should avoid murder, it would be your duty that when the time of death comes for any one of you If he comes and leaves some goods behind, If yes then it is for parents and relatives According to the custom, make a will to Allah This is a right on those who are afraid, then the person who If after hearing the will, he changes it The blame for changing it lies with those people Whoever changes it, Allah is all-knowing and listening Now if someone has to do something with the will favouring an heir or seeking his rights If he suspects that he will change the will If he makes peace between the heirs, then he will get some There is no sin, surely Allah is forgiving The Merciful is making fasting compulsory for you, believers Just as people before you have been burdened with their duties These were done so that you may become pious and fasting The days of the world are numbered only for a few days, so the person who If any of you is sick or travelling Complete the fasts on other days And those who have the strength to keep fast But he did not keep anyone in need in exchange for fasting Feed them and whoever wants to If one does more good, then it will be more in his favor It is good and if you understand then you should keep fast The month of fasting is better for you Ramadan is the month in which the Quran is the most important The first one was revealed who is the guide of the people and in which there are clear signs of guidance, and who can distinguish between true and false Whoever of you is present this month One should keep fasts for the whole month and If you are ill or travelling then do it on other days I will complete their count by fasting Allah wants ease for you and I do not want strictness and this is an order of ease Therefore it has been given to you to count the fasts Complete it and in return for this favor that Allah has instructed you to Remember the elders and thank them And O Prophet, when my servants ask you about me If they inquire, they will know that I am there with you when someone When the caller calls me, I answer him If I accept your prayers then they should Obey my orders and have faith in me so that Find the righteous path in the nights of fasting It is lawful for you to go to your women it’s been done it’s your dress and You are their clothing, God knows that You are betraying your rights by going to them. So he did you a favour and If I request you for your blessings, now You have the authority to converse with them and what allah has written for you That is, children, call for it from Allah and eat it. and drink even the morning’s white striped night that it began to look different from the black stripe Complete your fast till nightfall and when you If Taqaf is sitting in mosques then have a discussion with them don’t do this, these are the limits of Allah, they don’t have it This is how Allah reveals His verses to people To explain, he explains openly so that they become cautious and united with each other Don’t consume another’s property unnecessarily and don’t destroy it Take the bribe to the officer so that the people consume some part of the goods illegally Go and you know it too, O Prophets I am asking you about the new moon why does it increase or decrease tell me that it is The duration of people’s work and the time of Hajj There is a means to know and the goodness is in this not in my house in a state of ihraam come from their backside rather than neku’s He is one who is pious and keeps his house safe Enter through the doors and fear Allah So that you become successful and those who fight you You too fight them in the way of Allah But do not do excesses because Allah will punish you for excesses I do not keep friends with those who do this and they Kill wherever you find them and from where they took I have removed you from there, that is from Mecca You should also expel them and make them mislead from the religion The trouble of committing murder is greater than bloodshed and until he tells you the Masjid-e-Haram i.e. Don’t fight near the Kaaba, you should also fight there Don’t fight with them but if they fight with you then You kill them, this is the punishment for infidels then if they retreat then Allah The Forgiving, the Merciful and Keep fighting until the conflict vanishes Go and in this country only Allah’s religion is dominant Let it happen if he stops causing mischief There is no injustice against anyone except the oppressors we should worship the month of respect, the month of respect and the things of respect are opposite to each other If someone does injustice to you, then Whatever atrocities he commits on you, you will inflict the same Do that and fear Allah and know Remember that Allah is with those who fear Him and Spend your wealth in the way of Allah and Do not throw yourself into destruction and do good deeds Allah blesses those who do good And perform Hajj and Umrah for the pleasure of Allah Complete it and if you get stopped on the way So make whatever sacrifice is possible and when until the sacrifice reaches its destination Head is not shaved and if someone is sick amongst you Or if he has some kind of headache If he shaves his head, he should fast in lieu of that Either give charity or sacrifice, then when you are in trouble If you go away and become content, then whatever is within you I want to take advantage of Umrah till the time of Hajj He should make whatever sacrifice is possible and The one who does not get the sacrifice should observe three fasts I will go for Hajj and return with him, this is the whole 10 This ruling is for the person who You people do not live in Mecca and Allah Be afraid of Allah and know that Allah is strict The one who is in the month of Hajj is a punisher If you know, whoever performs Hajj in these months If she decides, then women should not do this during the days of Hajj do not disagree with anyone nor do any bad deed and Do not fight with anyone and whatever good work you do And Allah will know and the way So take your travel expenses with you because The best way is to abstain from sins and the people Keep being afraid of me, you will not know anything about it It is not a sin to go to the market during Hajj Seek livelihood from your Lord through trade and When you start returning from Arafat then Mashar Haram That is, mention Muzdalifah and like that Recite the way he taught you and And what is worse than this, you people just don’t use these methods I was aware of the place from where other people were returning You too are back from this and may Allah forgive you Ask for mercy, surely Allah is forgiving Then when all the rituals of Hajj are completed If you have completed it then you will remember Allah in Mina Remember the way you remembered your forefathers used to do it but even more than that and many people There are those who pray to Allah that O God, we have to pay the salary in this world Give it to such people and in the end they will have something there is no share and the eagles are such that they pray Oh God, please give us blessings in this world too Please grant me and grant me blessings in the end as well These are the people who should be kept safe from the punishment of hell for whom a share of their deeds i.e. Azar The righteous are ready and Allah will soon take the account and in the days of Qayam Mina which The days are numbered, remember Allah if If someone hurries and leaves in two days There is no crime in that either and whatever the matter may be There is no fault of his even after considering these things It is for the person who fears Allah and You must fear Allah and know that You will all be submitted to him and no one else This is a person whose conversation is famous in the world You find life charming and He is apologetic on the basis of his conscience, that is, on the fact that He makes Allah a witness in his heart Though he is extremely pugnacious and when p When Karr goes away he runs around on the ground so that Fina can study English and do farming and ruin the race of humans and beasts and may Allah destroy English does not like it and when he is told that If you fear Allah then pride will turn into a sin If he traps him then hell is enough for him and That is a very bad place and no one is like that is to gain the pleasure of Allah He sells his life and Allah blesses his servants Momino is very kind in Islam Enter fully and don’t follow the devil Come on, he is your open enemy then. If after you reach Akaam Roshan If you falter, know that Allah is liberating Are these people wise about this? It is expected that Allah’s punishment will descend upon them in the form of a cloud. Come down upon the Lords and the angels also descend come and get the job done and all the work Why should I turn towards Allah only? O you who are prophets? Ask Israel how freely we gave them He gave signs and whoever is blessed by Allah if Allah changes it after it comes to Him, then A severe punisher and those who disbelieve Made life in the world joyful for them She has gone and she greets the believers But those who fear Him will not be spared on the Day of Judgment will be above them and whomever Allah wishes First of all, He gives unlimited sustenance to all people There was only one religion but they had differences among themselves When they began to do so, Allah turned towards them and revealed books to them with truth so that in the matters in which people differed judge them in them and Disagreement was also caused by those people who The book was given to him even though he had it open The events had already happened and this dispute If they did it only out of mutual stubbornness then They used to differ about the immortal truth, Allah Show the believers their path by your kindness and whoever Allah wishes to have a straight path shows if you care about it that just like that you will enter paradise and Now if you people have any problems then He did not face any strictness at all And more troubles arrived, and he was shaken in his companions Even the Prophet and the believers were shaken The people who were with him all cried out, when Allah’s help will come Look, she wants Allah’s help to come closer to her O Prophet, people ask you about Allah’s Tell me what kind of goods should I spend on the way that you can spend whatever you want but whatever goods you spend You want to do that at a high level, Kaka means close to parents to the relatives and the orphan and the needy And give to the travellers and whatever good you You will do it, Allah knows it, you Muslims But fighting in the way of Allah is obligatory has been given to you and it will displease you But it is not surprising that one thing may seem bad to you and May it be good for you, and it is not surprising that One thing appeals to you and that’s for you Be a merry fellow and know these things better than Allah He knows and you do not know, O people of the Prophet to fight with you in the months of respect tell me that you are inquiring about Fighting among them is a major sin and blocking from the path and disbelieving in it, and By going to the Masjid-e-Haram i.e. Kaaba to close it and drive out the people of the mosque from it Throw out those who disbelieve in Allah Nearby is a greater crime than this and final English is better than blood and these people I will always fight with you even if If you keep Makhdu then I will turn you away from your religion And whoever of you turns away from his religion, If he becomes a Kafir and dies as a Kafir then this is how The deeds of people in this world and the hereafter They will be destroyed and these people will go to hell Those who will always remain in it are going to leave He believed and left his homeland for the sake of Allah and May Allah bless those who keep fighting the infidels and may Allah forgive O Prophet, he is going to be merciful to you They ask for the ruling on alcohol and gambling Two, that their sins are greater and that of the people There are some benefits for them but their crimes There are more benefits than just the benefits, and that too from you They ask which one is right in the path of Allah Spend the goods and tell them that it is necessary May Allah be more kind to you like this He openly explains his deeds So that you think about this world and the hereafter Pay attention to the things and you will know about orphans I also request you to tell me that their The reform of the condition is a very good work and if You live together with them, which means you share the expenses if you want to keep him then he is your brother and Allah knows very well that the one who does evil who is it and who is going to reform and if If Allah wanted, He would have put you in trouble Surely, Allah is All-Mighty and Wise Believers should not do anything against polytheistic women until they have faith Don’t marry me because she is a mushrik woman How do you like her, a Momin girl? it is better and so is the mushrik man until The believers did not believe in their women How can you like a judgemental man? A believer’s slave is better than the polytheists They call us towards hell and Allah shows His Kindly calling towards paradise and forgiveness and he discloses his orders to the people openly narrates it in order to gain advice and I ask you about menstruation Say it is impurity, so in the verse, in menstruation Keep away from women and until she is pure Don’t confront them, but when they are pure If it happens, then the way Allah has appointed you He has said, go to him, there is no doubt that Allah blesses those who repent and the pure Keeps the residents your friend If women are your farm then in your farm Go whichever way you want and do good deeds for yourself send and fear Allah and know that One day you will have to face him And O Prophet, Bisharatganj to the believers And stop trying to make peace among people And Allah hears and knows everything. Allah, I am happy with you on your oath but whatever oath you made I will not do it You will eat from them and Allah will bless them There is a God who will forgive those who Make them swear to never go to women You should wait for a month if this happens I swear, if I turn to Allah then is kind and if he intends to divorce Even if you do, Allah hears, knows and Divorced women can hold back their periods for three days on their own And if he believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment if they keep it then it is not permissible for them because Allah has whatever has been produced in their hands hide and eat them if you want forgiveness So during this period he gives them his strength at the end women are more entitled to take it The rights on men are same as those on customs According to this, men have rights over women men have a status superior to women and Allah is the greatest, the wisest is divorce It is only twice, i.e. when you divorce twice if given, then women will either have to face many problems Is it better to let Shahista stay in the marriage or not to leave it with and it is not fair that the Meher, take some of what you have given them Yes, if the husband is afraid that he If we cannot maintain the limits of Allah If the woman tries to get release from the hands of Khan If you give something in return then both of you get something It is not a sin, it is ordained by Allah This is the limit, do not go out of these and those who They will go beyond the limits of Allah Then you would be guilty if the husband rapes two girls If he gives the third divorce to the woman after until the woman marries another man If you don’t do it, it won’t be halal for the first husband Yes, if the other husband also divorces and the woman And eat first and then turn towards each other if they take it then there is no sin on them provided that Both should believe that the limits of Allah and these are the limits of Allah He explains these things to those people those who have knowledge and when you give it to women You have already divorced her and her iddat is over If they go, they will either marry a man with good looks let me stay or bid me farewell in a polite manner Give them two children and with this intention they should not stay in the marriage should give them trouble and put pressure on them Commit excesses and the one who does this will be

no fault of yours, yes it is their custom According to this, definitely spend some money i.e. Makhdu wala Give it according to your needs and take it in a tight spot This is a kind of punishment for noble people according to their status. and if you bring women to them Give me divorce before leaving but Mehr If you have decided then you will have to pay half the dowry Yes, if women or men give the dowry Those who have Ad Nikah in their hands have given up their rights and if he gives the full dowry, then he will have the right and if you men give up your rights two then this is a matter of abstinence and abuse and between each other There is no doubt that one should not forget to do good that Allah is watching all your deeds All Muslims have prayers, especially the middle prayer That means Asr namaz is offered with full respect Keep doing it and stand respectfully before Allah stay put if you’re in a state of fear So whether you are a pawn or a horseman, whatever be the condition, offer namaz Read it then when you are at peace, in the way Allah has taught you which you Earlier we did not know how to remember Allah and Those who die among you and leave behind women He should go and make a will in favour of his women. go and give them money for one year and Should not be thrown out of the house Yes, if she leaves
the house on her own Go and do your favorite work. If you marry then there is no sin on you and Allah is Mighty, Wise and Almighty According to the custom women also have to do non-nafak One should give protection to the sinners, this is also a right This is how Allah does His work for you He explains it so that you may understand it well I did not see those who were in the count There were thousands of them and they had fled to their homes in fear of death. when they had fled from there Allah ordered them Told them to die and then brought them back to life There is no doubt that Allah is kind to the people but often people are not thankful And Muslims, do jihad in the way of Allah And know that Allah hears everything. Who knows that there is some debt to Allah Make him laugh so that he can give her many times more in return He will give more and Allah will trouble the livelihood He does it and He makes it happy and you are the one Will you return to Bani Israel? that I have not seen a single person who, after Moses, He said to his Prophet that you are a prophet for us Appoint a king so that we can worship Allah perform jihad in the path The Prophet said that if If you are ordered to do Jihad, then it No, instead of fighting you should do that, he says I wonder why we should not follow the path of Allah We will fight while we are rejected from our country and are childless were separated from the children, then when they When the order for Jihad was given, a few Ashas All except Him have turned away and Allah has punished the wrongdoers is aware and the Prophet also told him that Allah has made Lut king over you. He said that he has the right to rule over us. Why can the right to something be greater than that of a person? We are the worthy ones of the kingship and he has So there is not much wealth either, the Prophet said that Allah has given him superiority over you, and He has chosen for kingship He has been blessed with a lot of knowledge and a lot of satisfaction He has also bestowed great blessings and Allah He has the authority to grant kingship to whomever he wants He is a great Kusha Ishwar, a great man and a prophet told him that his, i.e. the kingship of the palate This is a sign that you have that box He will come who will be carried by angels Comfort from your Lord There will be something to spare and some other things too which Moses and Aaron had left behind if If you have faith then this is a It is a big sign When Lot set out with his army, he He said to them that Allah will make a canal for you The person who is going to try it out I imagined he would drink water will know that it is not mine and whoever does not drink it it will be understood that it is mine yes if someone with his hand If you take a handful of water then it’s good when those people When we reached the canal, except for a few people Everyone drank the water then when Talu and Momin When the people who were with him crossed the canal They started saying that today there is Jalud and his There is no strength to fight Lashkar People believed that they would have to face Allah I have to be present, he started saying that this is my status A small group did a great disobedience to the command of Allah We have achieved victory over the Jamaat and Allah has been proven steps are with the residents and when those people When we come face to face with Jalud and his army I prayed to Allah that O Lord, have patience with us open the mouths of the ark and prove us in the fight Step forward and conquer the army of infidels By the order of Allah, Tal’s army killed them defeated them and Dawood killed Jalud and Allah gave them kingdom and grain gave it to me and taught me whatever I wanted and if Allah makes people rise above one another and If he does not stop attacking then he will request It would have been destroyed but Allah is kind to the people of the world These are the verses of Allah, the most merciful which we read to you with truth and O Muhammad sallallahu alaihi waali Wasallam you are without doubt one of the prophets This prophet whom we keep sending from time to time Of these We have given the hawk superiority over the hawk There are eagles with whom Allah has spoken and the status of the eagle is high in the second generation And We made it clear to Isa son of Maryam Gave the signs and helped Ruhal Qudas And if Allah had willed, those before them after a clear sign has come to them, They would not fight but if they differed Some of them believed and some became disbelievers and if Allah had willed, these people we do not fight wars among ourselves but because of Allah whatever he wants, O believers We have given you some of it for that day Before coming, spend first in which there is no There should be a deal of deeds and not friendship and recommendation It is possible, and those who disbelieve are wrongdoers Allah is the most merciful God, that there is no one except Him Not worthy of worship, alive to hold everyone he neither gets any sleep nor any pain All that is in the skies and on the earth is the same Who is it that without his permission can recommend someone who can help some people coming face to face with whatever is behind them He already knows everything and people are to gain knowledge of something can’t do it yes the way he wants It makes us realise the value of his kingship and Knowledge is supreme over the heavens and the earth and it There is nothing difficult in protecting him, he is great Islam has high status and is the religion of respect There is no compulsion in this, instructions are clear But it has been separated from the obvious and the misleading So the person who is free from idols Takadina held such a strong rope in her hand which will never break and Allah will give everything Those who have faith, hear something and know everything Allah is their friend that darkness and which takes it out from the They are infidels, their friends are devils, that they Takes you out of the light and into the darkness these people are the people of hell that you will always remain in it, well you have told that person who did not see because of the pride that Allah had given him the kingdom of Ibrahim he began to argue with him about his Lord When Ibrahim said, “O my Lord,” he He who gives life and gives death He said that even I can give life and death Ibraahib said that Allah makes the sun You take it out from the east, from the west Throw it out, the infidel was stunned after hearing this remained and Allah did not guide the unjust would I have given it to you or not to that person in the same way I saw a colony whose people on their rooftops I was lying down, when I passed by he said that Allah blesses its inhabitants after death why would he keep you alive then Allah has given him The soul was captured and he was kept dead for 100 years then he raised him to life and asked you how long have you been dead he replied granted that in one day or even less Allah He said no but you will be dead for 100 years and Look at your food and drink, in due course Mutluluk When I came in his presence I said, I believe that Allah is responsible for everything he is Qadir and when Ibrahim asked Allah I prayed, O God, show me that you Why will Allah bring the dead back to life? said, did you not believe this did they said why not but I I want to see it because my heart One should attain complete peace of mind and he said that four take the birds then shake them with you and break them into pieces and then tear them apart Place the piece on each mountain and then If you call them, they will come running to you And know that Allah is mighty, Sahib It is wisdom that those who donate their wealth in the way of Allah The example of their goods that It is like a grain from which seven ears of corn grow and each There are 100 grains in one hair and Allah wants Azar and does more and Allah is the most grateful and all-knowing those who invest their wealth in the way of Allah Let’s surf and then there’s no point in spending money after that I am neither indebted to anyone nor to anyone else Their God gives them trouble as their reward and on the Day of Judgment they will not There will be no fear, nor will he be sad After giving alms, the receiver was given permission If you go, say something soft to him and request him It is better to do so and Allah is free from all desires It is time for believers to be grateful for their charity And don’t be ruined like that man by giving pain Give the goods to people for show and spends on Allah and the end of the day If he does not have faith then the example of his wealth is that It is like a heap of soil on which a little mud has fallen and rain down upon it with great force and clean it This is how these Rickards did their deeds will not be able to gain any reward for Allah does not guide such a destroyer And those who seek the pleasure of Allah and spend their wealth with sincere intention Their example is a garden which is high there is a need to speak at a place when there is a strong pressure on it Then bring double the fruit even if I don’t fall So whatever is fine is fine and Allah is with you Is anyone of you watching these works? wants his dates and grapes There should be a garden in which canals are flowing and in it Every type of dry fruits should be available for him and Old age overtook him and his little ones If there are children also then the snake will spread fire in that garden If the heron goes away then it may burn like this Allah I would explain to you My verses in clear detail. so that you think and understand, believers who You earn pure and fine goods and whatever We’ll dig things out of the ground for you Among them there are those who spend in the way of Allah and give evil and impure things don’t do that if those things are given to you So the reason is that you close your eyes while taking it never take them and know that Allah Niyaz is the devil who has many qualities for you instills fear of harassment and indulges in obscene acts and Allah tells you to do His promises forgiveness and mercy, and Allah He is the Kushaib, he knows everything He bestows food on whomsoever he wishes and Dana the barber met him, he was undoubtedly blessed And only those people accept advice who You are wise and you are the one who spend this kind of money or believe in some evil eye, Allah knows him and there is no helper of the oppressors It won’t happen if you give alms openly That too is great and if you give it hidden and also give it If you give it to the needy, it is better for you and this is the way to recompense your sins and will make Allah remove all your There is news of deeds, O Prophet (peace be upon him) Wali wasallam you are the one to guide these people you are not responsible but only Allah He wants to guide you and you believers Whatever goods you spend, it will only be beneficial And whatever you spend, it will be for the pleasure of Allah and the goods you spend you will be given in full and no harm will be done to you, and yes whatever you spend will be for those needy people for those who wait in the way of Allah And the country doesn’t have the strength to go anywhere they keep it and keep it away from asking even Because of not asking, a new person called him The taboo cares and what do you do to them Recognize clearly that you are weak and ashamed Not by breaking your face or hugging the people You can ask for it and you can spend some money on it There is no doubt that Allah knows those who your wealth night and day and hidden and visible keep on spending in the way of Allah Their reward is with their Lord and They have no fear of the Day of Judgment There will be no sorrow for those who take interest spirits will rise from the graves as if Jin made someone crazy by hugging him yes this is because they say sell the deal also it is the same with respect to Nephi as Taking interest although Allah has made the transaction lawful and has made interest haraam, then the person whose The advice of Allah reached him and he If you refrain from taking, then what has already happened His and his case on the Doomsday is with Allah handed over and if anyone tries to take it again then give such people We are destined to burn in hell forever Allah makes interest impossible, that is, impotent, and increases the blessings of charity and Allah He does not keep as a friend any deadly criminal People believed and performed good deeds and prayed Keep reading and give them Zakat for their work will get its reward with Allah and on the Doomsday On that day they will have neither fear nor grief you will be fools, fear Allah and if If you have faith then whatever interest is left Leave him and if you don’t do that then you A war from Allah and His prophet Listen and if you repent and give up interest If you give then you have the right to take your original amount In which neither others’ loss nor yours Loss and if the borrower has tight diarrhea So give him some time till he gets Kusha Ish And if you pardon me the debt, it will be yours it is much better for you provided you understand and Fear the day when you are in the presence of Allah You will return and every person will be responsible for his deeds One will get full revenge and others will get some There will be no loss, believers, when you unite with each other start taking loan for some fixed period So write it down and you are the one who will write it I do not harm anyone, but do justice The writer should write as Allah has given him I have taught you not to refuse to write and Write the document and the person who takes the loan get the text of the document written down and Allah that his master is afraid and he is in debt Do not get anything less written down and if you take a loan whether the person is less intelligent or has difficulty in getting the content written if he does not care about it then whoever is his guardian get the article written with justice and from his own Two men were made witnesses of such a case Do it and if two men are not there then one more man Two women you like as witnesses are enough that if one of them forgets, the other will remind him and when the witness testifies If you are summoned for this, do not refuse, and Whether the loan is small or big, its documentation is important do not be lazy in writing this This is a very fair thing in the eyes of Allah And this is a very good way to attain martyrdom. Does this give you any kind of doubt or suspicion? No need to pay, yes if the deal is successful whatever you give and take amongst yourselves, if such If you do not write the documents of the case then nothing will be done on you It is not a crime when you buy and sell For example, even if it is about property, he was made a witness and the scribe should file the documents and the witnesses should file the case do not cause any harm to others if If you do this then it is a crime for you And fear Allah and see that He what useful things it teaches you and Allah is aware of everything and if you travel But it happens and I can’t find someone to write the document So take a loan by keeping something in your possession And if any one of you considers the other to be an ameen That is, if a loan is given without any mortgage then it is called a trustee that the owner of the trust should pay the trust and fear Allah, his Lord, and See, don’t hide martyrdom, whoever hides it He will be a sinner of heart and Allah He is aware of all your deeds, all that is in the skies and on the earth You should tell your heart’s secrets only to Allah If you reveal it then Allah will tell you more if you hide it He will take revenge from you and then he will take it from whomsoever He can forgive whomever He wants and punish whomever He wants Allah is powerful over everything Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa wasallam on this book which was revealed to them from their Lord She has faith and the believers too are all worshippers of Allah and on His angels and on His books believe in Him and His prophets, and They say that we are not in any of His prophets They do not make any difference and they pray to Allah We say that we have heard your command and accepted it Oh God, we ask for your forgiveness And to you we will return, Allah beating a person beyond his strength does not make me responsible, then he does good work he will get benefit from them, if he does bad then he will O God, if any harm comes to them If I have made a mistake or error then don’t blame me O God, please don’t put such a burden on us As you inflicted on those before us, We have the strength to bear as much burden as God no don’t put that much burden on me and O Lord, forgive us from our sins and Please forgive us and have mercy on us He is our helper so we can prevail over the disbelievers Start by taking the name of Allah who is great The Most Merciful is Alif Lam Meem There is no one except Allah who is the most merciful God Not worthy of worship, alive to hold everyone O Prophet, He has revealed the true book to you that confirms the first heavenly books and it is He who revealed the Torah and the Gospel He had revealed these two books earlier for the guidance of the people and then the Quran which It separates right and wrong those who revealed the verses of Allah those who deny it will have a severe punishment, and Allah is Mighty and He is Avenger Allah is so omniscient that nothing can be predicted from Him It is not hidden, neither in the ground nor in the sky He is the one who desires what is in the mother’s womb That Ghalib creates your faces No one is worthy of worship except the wise No, O Prophet, it is He who has revealed this to you The book revealed, most of whose verses are captivating And that is the original book and there are some other books If there are Shabe then there is anger in the hearts of those people He follows the urine of the night so that Create havoc and find out the real Murad Although the real intention is none other than Allah I do not know and those who look deeply into knowledge They say that we have faith in them All these verses have been brought by our Lord And only the wise accept advice O Lord, when You have guided us then After that don’t create any anguish in our hearts Please bless us with your blessings You are going to do a great job O Lord, on that day when nothing comes There is no doubt that everyone will be gathered in his presence He will do it, surely Allah does not make a promise against you Those who disbelieved, on that day their wealth would be destroyed only he can save them from the punishment of Allah and neither their children will be of any use and these people Hope will be the fuel for hell, then their condition will also be like this like the people of the Niyya and those before them those who considered Our verses Allah punished them for their sins I was caught and Allah gave me a severe punishment O Prophet, tell the disbelievers that you are almost lost in this world too You will go and gather towards Hell in the end you will be done and that is a bad place for you between the two groups who clashed with each other on the day of the battle of Badr Nature clashed with God’s great sign There was a group of Muslims, they were followers of Allah I was fighting on the way and the other knot was with the infidels he had told them through his eyes, He was doing double mushahid and Allah was showing his Whoever wants to get help from Nusrat, Ahle Basarakodu the objects of their desires, i.e. women and sons and large piles of gold and silver and marked horses and cattle and farming She seems very beautiful but all this The world itself is like life and There is a very good abode with Allah Prophet tell them that how can I tell you such a thing Let me tell you something that is better than these things. Listen. For those who fear Allah, There are gardens here beneath which canals flow. He will always be there and pure Bayaa is the most important and most pleasing of Allah And Allah is watching all His servants who we pray to Allah that O Lord We have accepted faith, so our sins are forgiven Please bless us and protect us from the punishment of hell. They are the people who are patient in difficult times and speak the truth and remain engaged in prayer, and spend money in goodness and keep your status in the city Allah asks for forgiveness for our sins testifies that no one other than him There is no God in such a condition that he can defend justice There is a ruler and angels and those with knowledge We bear witness that the one with wisdom and mighty There is no one worthy of worship except the three Gods is only Islam and the People of the Book Whoever disagrees with this religion will gain knowledge after that it was done out of mutual insistence and whatever If a person does not believe in the verses of Allah Allah is going to take your revenge soon, O Prophet So if these people start quarreling with you, tell them that I and my feet belong to Allah have become obedient and the People of the Book and the illiterate Ask the people whether you too are followers of Allah If you become obedient and accept Islam then If these people accept Islam, they will surely be guided And if you don’t listen to me then it’s yours The only work is to convey the message of Allah And Allah is watching His servants who People do not believe in the verses of Allah and They have been killing Ambiya without any reason and those who He also orders them to do justice They kill those who hurt them with a punishment Give me the good news; these are the people whose Deeds are ruined in this world and the hereafter And no one will help them, even you I have not seen those people who have no idea what the book means portion was given from the Torah and he is in this book are called towards Ullah i.e. Quran so that it can resolve their conflicts among them then a group of them turns away and He turns his face away because he is I am convinced that the fire of hell will last for a few days and whatever this religion is he has been tying the knot about If they have been deceived then what about at that time? The situation will be when we collect them i.e. whose arrival is beyond doubt every day and every Nafs will get full reward for its deeds And they will not be oppressed; say: O O Allah, the Lord of the kingdom, you can do whatever you want He can grant the kingship and snatch it from anyone he wants take it and give respect to whomever you want and whomever you want Let me humiliate you, every kind of goodness is in your hands And undoubtedly you are capable of everything, you are the night I enter into the day and you are the one who makes the day You are the one who enters the night from the lifeless You create living beings and you are the ones who create living beings You create lifeless things and you are the one who wants There is an innumerable sustenance bestowed upon the believers The infidels should have friends other than the believers He should not make it and whoever does this will be cursed by Allah There is no limit, yes, if you do this to them If you create a face that protects you from evil, then it will be fun No, and Allah warns you with His wrath And to Allah you will return O Prophet, tell the people that something is Do you keep the fly in your heart or show it? do it, Allah knows it, and whatever whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth He is aware of everything and He is capable of everything, On this day, every person gets the reward of his good deeds. If he takes it and sees his evil too He would wish that if only that evil in him and that I would have travelled a long distance and Allah He frightens you with his wonder, and Allah You are most merciful to your servants Tell the Prophet that if you believe in Allah If you have friends then advocate for me may Allah bless you with friendship and and Allah will forgive your sins The One who will forgive is kind, tell me that Obey the command of Allah and His Messenger, if If he does not believe then even Allah makes the infidels a friend Allah does not protect Adam, Noah and their family Ibrahim and the family of Imran are known throughout the world He selected from among the people, one of them Ba was the son of an eagle and Allah was the listener I know that it’s time to remember It is worth it when Imran’s wife said that hey O God, the child in my womb, I look at it like you, it’s for the world You will keep it free from work by my side Confess, you are the one who listens and the one who knows then when a child is born to them She started saying that O God, I have a girl whereas Allah knew very well what was there had been born and the boy would not have been born like this to the girl and she said I named it I have kept Mary and I will keep her and her children I seek refuge in you from the evil man His Lord blessed him with his favorite gift accepted him and raised him well And made Zakaria his guarantor, when Zakaria If ever I went to him in a place of worship, One day seeing this condition of getting food nearby He began to ask Mary whether she should eat this food Where do you get it from she said It comes from Allah, surely Allah He gives unlimited sustenance to whomsoever He wishes At that time Zakaria called out to his Lord I prayed that God should keep me by his side Please bless me with a son, and I will surely listen to your prayers He is going to be in the place of worship right now He was standing and praying when the angels He called out, Zakaria, may Allah protect you gives the good news which is the message of Kalemullah i.e. Jesus will confirm and will be the leader and will be with the women One who has no attachment and is a prophet i.e. a good person Zakaria said, O God, you will be in Ukar Why will I be born a boy? I am old and my wife is She is barren, so is what Allah wants Zakaria said that the Lord does Please set a sign for me He said, your sign is that you Do not talk to people except through gestures for three days If you can, then in those days, take care of your family Memorizing Him regularly and reciting His Tabloid in the morning and evening And when the angels said to Mary that Mary Allah has blessed you and I have made you pure and the best in the world I have chosen you from among the women Maryam should obey her Lord And prostrating and bowing with those who O Prophet, stop and these things are in the newspaper of the unseen from what we send to you and When they were casting their pens as a curse Who will be Mary’s guardian? Then you should go to him. were not there and neither were they with him at the time when I remember the time when they were fighting among themselves when the angels asked Mary He said that Maryam Allah keeps you by his side gives the good news of the pen whose name is Christ and Isa ibn Maryam will be famous and the world And in the end from among the honourable and the renegade and in the lap of the mother and of an older age Being in both the situations you get the same results from people will chat and Neku will be in cars Maryam said that God is here with me why would a child be born if a person He didn’t even touch me so that This is how Allah creates whatever He wants When he wants to do some work then Irshad He commands it to happen, and it happens And he gives him the Book of Wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel and Jesus became the protector of Israel go towards him as a prophet and say that I near you to your lord I have brought a sign from you and that is that for you I make the shape of a bird out of clay in front of me Then I blow into it and it becomes a symbol of Allah’s By the order the bird really becomes a bird and He cures those who are born blind and deranged and by Allah’s order the dead I will make you alive and whatever you eat you come and keep them stored in your homes yes I will tell you everything if you are gentleman If you have faith then I am here for you It is a sign and those who were revealed before me I also confirm that it happened and I I have come also because there are many things which you They were haram, should I make them halal for you and I am from your Lord’s side I have come with a sign, so fear Allah and Believe me there is no doubt that Allah is the only If there is a God of mine and yours then it is His pray, this is the straight path then when Jesus saw only denial and disobedience from their side Then they said, is there anyone who is on the side of Allah And my helper Hawari said that we We are on the side of Allah and your helpers Believe in Allah and be a witness that we We are obedient, O God, to the book which you have given us It has been revealed that we have faith in Him and your prophet’s mutablist And Allah is the best planner At that time Allah said, “Isa Your time in this world is over I will lift you up to me and you I will purify you from the company of infidels and who People will follow you, they will call them infidels But I will keep Faiq Ghalib till the doomsday then you all If you come back to me then in those matters That day you kept arguing with each other Now I will judge those who are infidels Severe punishment in both this world and the hereafter I will give you something and they will not have any helper and who People believed and kept doing good to them Allah will reward you fully and Allah O Prophet, we do not keep friends with the oppressors Verses of Allah and wise advice to you Allah narrates the condition of Jesus by reading it is like Adam in that he first He created them from clay and then said, If you become a human being then they will become like that If you have the right from your Lord then Don’t ever be among those who doubt If these people argue with you about Jesus, Do it only after you know the truth If it is done then tell them that come let us our sons and call your sons and daughters call your daughters and we will come ourselves too and you Come yourself also, then both sides pray to Allah And pray to Allah in this way on the liars Curse them all, these statements are true and There is no god except Allah, and surely Allah is Ghalib (the master of wisdom) if If these people go back then Allah will forgive them he knows very well, tell him that O people of the book who The thing between you and me It has been confessed that come towards it, We should not worship anyone except Allah and do not associate anything with Him, and None of us considers anyone as his own except Allah If the artisans do not understand this then If he doesn’t agree then tell him that you are losing it We are obedient to Allah, O People of the Book Why do you quarrel about Abraham? Although the Torah and the Gospel were revealed after them And if that has happened before, then don’t you have sense? Look, you keep fighting in such a matter You did it, of which you had some idea But why do you fight over a matter which You do not know anything and Allah knows and you don’t know Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian but Being unattached to everything and becoming one with Allah and were obedient to him and among the polytheists There was no one closer than Ibrahim So they are the people who have been advocating for him and This is the last prophet, sallallahu alaihi waali wasallam and those who believe and Allah is the creator of the believers, O people of Islam Some people of the book wish for this that I am misleading you in some way Though this will mislead you You are being misled and you don’t know O People of the Book, you are aware of the verses of Allah Why do you deny it and yet believe in the Torah? So you are the people of the book, you mix truth with lies why do you create mischief and why do you ignore the truth you hide it even though you know it and the people A gang from the book tells its men that the book which has been revealed to the believers But at the beginning of the day, have faith and deny it at the end so that he Depart from Islam and leave your religion don’t trust anyone’s words except the time of Do it, O Prophet, tell me the guidance It is Allah’s guidance, they also say Do not believe that what you have got Someone else can get it too, otherwise he You need to argue before your Lord Oh Prophet, tell him that the old man will do it It is in the hands of Allah whomsoever he wishes And Allah is the one who gives knowledge He is going to bless whomever he wants with His mercy He does it especially and Allah is very kind he is lord and there is no one from the people of the book who is that if you have a pile of denarii with him If you keep a trust, he will return it to you immediately and someone is such that if he has a Even if you keep a dinar as a trust, as long as it is on his head don’t stand there all the time, i won’t give you anything This is because they say that regarding Umm I won’t be able to do anything for you, it’s just up to Allah They lie and they know it too yes why not the person who keeps his promise If one fulfils all wishes and remains pious, then Allah Those who keep abstinent people as their friends Selling the confession of Allah and your oaths and pay a small price for it they get some share in the end No, Allah will neither speak to them nor On the Day of Judgment he will neither look at them nor at them He will purify them and give them painful punishment And among the People of the Book there are some who The book i.e. Torah is twisted in the tongue read so that you understand what is do read it from the book though he is not from the book and says that he it has been revealed from Allah, although it It is not from Allah and it is not based on Allah They lie and they know it too No man cares that Allah will punish him Then grant me the book, rule and prophethood He should tell the people that except Allah there is no one else except me go away but he should say that O people of the book, become masters of the Lord, because You also teach the book and because You keep on studying and teaching and he doesn’t even notice it You should say that you are the angels and the prophets Whom should you make your god when you are a Muslim? So will he force you to become an infidel? and when Allah made a covenant with the Prophets I took it that when I gave you the book and grains Then some prophet may come to you who If I confirm your book then you You must certainly have faith in him and you must respect him I will have to help and after taking the oath I asked that Well you agreed and I accept this agreement He took the responsibility, that is, he made me the guarantor He said yes, we agreed that you be a witness to this agreement and I I am also a witness with you now those who If we go back later, they are the same bad characters Then is he a kafir other than the religion of Allah? Although all the people are seekers of some other religion The skies and the earth are blessed or displeased by Allah and to Him we return We are going to leave, say that we have faith in Allah and the book which was revealed to us and which right fe Ibrahim and Ishmael and Isaac and the books which were revealed to Jacob and his progeny, God bless Moses, Jesus and the other prophets We have faith in everything that we receive from these There is no difference between any of the prophets and we are obedient to the same Allah And whoever follows any religion other than Islam He would have sought help from him but he never accepted it and such a person will suffer loss in the end Why would Allah sacrifice such people among them? Guide those who become disbelievers after having faith and have previously testified that This prophet is Barhak and brokers also come to him went away and Allah did not guide the unjust The punishment for these people is that they of Allah and the angels and the humans Everyone’s damned forever caught in this damnation if they stay then the punishment will not be lightened and neither will they be given death, yes, those who Thereafter he repented and improved his condition then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful who People became unbelievers after having faith Such people who are increasing in disbelief will surely repent it will not be accepted and these are the people who are misguided People became infidels and died in a state of disbelief. If he wants to be saved and change Even if you give me an earth full of gold, I will never accept it will be done to hurt these people There will be punishment and no one will help them Momino, until you are one of those things which Spending in the way of Allah is dear to you If you do not do this, you will never be able to achieve goodness, and Allah knows what you spend The revelation of the Torah to the children of Israel Before 1999 all food items were halal of those things which Yaqub himself made forbidden Say, “Bring the Torah if you are truthful, and Read it, that is, present the argument now which is If you still believe falsely in Allah then such People are unjust, tell them that Allah has You have told the truth so follow the religion of Ibrahim Do whatever is free from all attachments and is dedicated to one Allah were happening and were not among the mushrik The first house that was built for people to worship It was decided that it is the same as in Mecca There is blessing and joy for the people of this world Guidance: in this are clear signs One of them is of Ibrahim standing There is a place for the person who enters this blessed house It happened that he found peace and Allah bestowed His blessings on the people it is the right or the duty of whoever goes to this house He who keeps the work away from it should perform its Hajj and whoever If he does not follow the order then even Allah You are independent of the people of the world, tell me, O people Book: Why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah? when you do this while Allah rewards you with all your deeds It is right to say to the believers, O people of the book Why do you block the path of Allah and Even though you are aware of it, there is something wrong with it. you take it out and Allah is responsible for your deeds Believers are not unaware if you are of the People of the Book If you listen to a fanatic, he will listen to you After you have believed, they will make you into infidels and Why would you disbelieve when you have faith in Allah? The verses are recited and you in Him his Prophet is present and whoever has He held the rope tight he straight away The path has started, O believers, fear Allah that one has the right to fear him and a Muslim has the right to die die and all of them together advised to Allah Hold the rope tight and spin around Do not become that and do not take the blame of Allah upon yourself Remember kindness when you’re with each other If you were an enemy, he would have put it in your heart He created a ruckus and you became a brother because of his kindness We became brothers and you were on the edge of the fire when you had reached there he saved you from him This is how Allah reveals His verses to you He tells you in detail so that you can stay on the right path stay and there should be a group among you who Invite people to virtue and good deeds command them to do good deeds and forbid them from doing evil deeds These are the people who are successful and Don’t be like the people who passed away And after getting a clear answer from each other These are the people who started to differ There will be a great punishment on the Day of Judgment when there will be a lot of Many faces will be white and many will be black from those whose faces are black May Allah tell you, are you a Kafir (infidel) after having faith You went away and now you will have to suffer the punishment in return for that disbelief. Taste it, and those whose mouths will turn white will be in the gardens of Allah’s mercy and We will remain in them forever, this is the verse of Allah which we read to you clearly and Allah does not want to oppress the world and whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth Everything belongs to Allah and all the works The end is with Allah only, you believers You are the best Ummah who needs guidance for the people You have been brought to the field to do noble work You tell me to do things and forbid me from doing bad things and you have faith in Allah and if If the People of the Book had believed in them then for them It would have been nice if there were some believers among them There are but few and often it is disobedient You will suffer no loss except some discomfort I won’t be able to reach you and if I fight with you Then they will turn their back and run away, then they will also get help You won’t get it from anywhere else, where you’ll see it You will see that humiliation is sticking to them, Bajaj That he is under the protection of Allah or a Muslim seek refuge among the people and these people seek refuge in Allah are arrested in a strange manner and Nadi is not It is clinging to this because according to the verses of Allah and rejected His prophets They used to kill without any reason because this were disobedient and crossed the limits Not all of these people of the book are the same There are some good people too who are proud of their night I would recite the verses of Allah and pray to Him He prostrates himself before Allah every day and at the end of the day But he tells us to have faith and do good deeds And forbidding evil things and encouraging good deeds they leap and these are the people who are righteous and this The kind of goodness you do, it will not matter to you and Allah will give plenty to the pious He knows the wealth and property of those who are disbelievers Children are always against Allah they will not be of any use and these people are the people of hell that These people will always remain in that which is good spend it in the life of the world The example is like a storm in which there is severe cold And he focuses on the cultivation of those people who are self-reliant They used to commit atrocities, let’s go and destroy him and Allah did not do any injustice to them But they are committing atrocities on themselves Do believers accept a man of a different religion as their own? Don’t make these people your confidants, these are your fault I do not commit any negligence and I want you to suffer the way I do If it reaches their tongue, the enmity becomes evident it has already happened and whatever has happened has put a fly in their heart there is much more if you have some sense So We have made Our verses clear to you, I have told you that you are such pure hearted people that you are friends with these people although it I am not friends with you and you are all about books But you have faith and this is your book I don’t believe it and when I meet you I say We have brought faith and when we are alone If so, I would cut my fingers out of anger at you They bite you, tell them to control their anger die in the Allah of your hearts I am well aware of these things, if you have any hope If something is achieved then they feel bad and if If you are hurt then you become happy and If you tolerate the troubles and disobedience If you keep on criticizing them then you will be exposed for their deceit nothing can harm you May Allah reward whatever you do and remember the time when you wake up in the morning Departing from his home, he told the believers occasional appearance on the battle fronts And Allah hears and knows everything It is at that time that two of you gave up your life wanted to give it but Allah was his helper and Believers must trust only in Allah and Allah also provided it in the battle of Badr I helped you even when you They were worthless due to disobedience of Allah save yourself so you can be thankful when you By saying this to the believers, they were increasing their hearts is it not enough for you that your God sent down 3000 angels I’ll help you yes why not if you Keep your heart strong and avoid disobedience And the infidels will attack you with zeal and enthusiasm. if your lord gives 5000 angels who will bear your mark He will send help and Allah will send that help For you, the source is Bisharatganj get peace from him or else help It is from Allah who is the greatest It is wise; Allah did this because Destroy a group of infidels or Make them feel humiliated and go back unsuccessful O Prophet, you have no say in this work I have no choice now, there are two options, O Allah Be kind to them or punish them these are wrongdoers and whatever is in the heavens in me and whatever is in the earth is all Allah He can forgive whomever he wants and whomever he wants Whether he punishes or Allah is forgiving O believers, He is kind and gives double interest Do not eat and fear Allah so that you may be successful Go and save yourself from the fire of hell which is the fire of the disbelievers and has been prepared for Allah and His Follow the Rasool so that you may be shown mercy And seek forgiveness from your Lord and that Paradise Rush towards the one whose request is between the sky and the earth is equal and ready for the abstinence which has been done in times of comfort and hardship spend their wealth in the way of Allah and Stopping anger and making people’s mistakes free and Allah makes us friends and that when any open crime or If someone else does evil in your favor then Remembering Allah and repenting for your sins They ask for forgiveness and commit sins like Allah Who can spare anyone and deliberately ignore his failures? But we don’t stick to the reward of such people There is mercy and protection from their Lord beneath which canals flow and he is in them will always stay put and do good work The revenge of the people is very good on you people So many things have already happened You can take a walk on the land and see that lies What is the end of those who are suffering from this Quran? People A clear message for the people of piety and for the people of piety There is guidance and advice and do not be evil hearted and Do not grieve if you are a true believer You will remain victorious if you are defeated by wounds If it has happened then these people have also been hurt like this and it is the time when we will people keep changing and this also makes The purpose was that Allah separates the believers and make an eagle amongst you a martyr and Allah does not like injustice and this The purpose was also that Allah purifies the believers Make it clear and destroy the infidels Do you think that heaven is without trial I will enter it although Allah has already It is good for those amongst you who do Jihad I did not even know it and this is also the intention So that he may make known to those who follow the right path And you will kill him before death and martyrdom come. I used to desire her so you looked at her with your eyes I saw it from above and Muhammad Sallallahu Wasallam was one He is a prophet, there have been many before him He has become a prophet, what good would it be if he dies or If you are killed, you will turn back and Whoever turns back will not be spared by Allah It cannot harm you and thank God It will give great reward to the one who passes away and in any person I don’t have the strength to die without Allah’s order He should decide the time of death and write it down and the person who keeps his deeds in the world Whoever wants revenge, we will take it back here And whoever seeks reward in the Hereafter, he will We will grant thanks and we will be grateful I will give you very good stitching and many more There have been prophets with whom the people often If Ullah fought with the enemies then who Troubles befell them in the way of Allah Because of them he neither lost courage nor Neither was he cowardly nor was he subdued by the infidels, Allah is a friend to those who have independence keeps it and in this condition no one can say anything from their mouth The point that comes out is this: O our Lord The sins and excesses that we commit through our actions I have been forgiving you and proving me Step forward and bestow blessings upon the disbelievers Allah rewarded them in this world as well And in the end he will give a very good reward, and may allah bless good cars Momino, if you listen to the disbelievers Then he will turn you around and make you stand on your back You will give it then you will be in big trouble It is not he who helps you, but Allah He is your helper and he is the best We are helpful to those close to the hearts of infidels I will establish my authority because it is Allah’s they commit shirk with that which he has not given any The evidence was not revealed and their abode is Hell It is a very evil abode for the oppressors and Allah has kept his promise to you That is, at that time when you send the disbelievers to his were killing on orders, even those who You wanted it, God showed it to you After that you lost courage and the Prophet started quarreling in execution of the order of and If you disobeyed him then whoever amongst you were seekers of the world and the hawks of the hereafter Talib, at that time Allah presented you before them removed from so that I can try you and He forgave you your sin, and Allah is very kind to the believers It is also worth remembering the time when you People would run away and someone would turn back They did not look at taxes and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam to you I was standing behind you and calling out to Allah brought you sorrow after sorrow so that whatever or the trouble that kept slipping out of your hands Don’t be sad because of what happened to you And Allah is aware of all your deeds Then Allah revealed to you after that trouble I sent down consolation that is, I put sleep into you Due to this a group got attracted and some people Those who were in danger of losing their lives due to Allah How can one have any unnecessary belief in disbelief about a prophet? They used to do it and say that it is our right there is something you say that of course everything These people are in the power of Allah the things that you keep in your heart But we did not reveal it, we used to say that our If it were just a matter of time we wouldn’t have committed murder here Go and tell them that even if you go to your homes If they were, then it was their fate to be killed He was surely going to kill himself The need was that Allah who will try the things in your heart and There’s something in your heart, clear it out And Allah is well aware of the matters of the heart Those of you who on the Day of Udya, when the believers and Two groups of infidels got entangled with each other If they ran away from the war, their hawks would be fruitless The devil had made them slip, and surely Surely Allah has forgiven his sin Allah is forgiving, forgive me, believers Don’t be like those who disbelieve And their Muslim brothers when in the way of Allah travel and die or go out for jihad and if they are killed then their relation is said to be If he had stayed with us then he wouldn’t have died nor would he have killed They go because Allah is the protector of those people Create regret in hearts and life and Only Allah gives death and Allah is watching all your actions and if You either die in the way of Allah or Go and buy the stuff that people collect The forgiveness and mercy of Allah is better and If you die or are killed then you will be saved for the sake of Allah You will surely be gathered in the presence of the Lord then By the grace of Allah, you will be able to save those people you have become soft-natured for and if you If you were evil and hard hearted then you would have had this If they would have run away from me then forgive them and Ask Allah for forgiveness for them and for your Take help from them in your work and when someone If you make a firm intention to do the work then rely on Allah Have faith, surely Allah is the believer if allah keeps you a friend If you are helpful then no one can dominate you and if she leaves you then who is there to help you after that and Believers should trust only in Allah And there can never be a prophet betray and doom for those who betray The thing that is betrayed on that day will face Allah then every person will have to be presented with his full reward of one’s deeds will be given, and There will be no injustice done to those who A person who is subject to the pleasure of Allah, One can be like a person who is the follower of Allah be arrested in unhappiness and whose whereabouts There is a hell and it is an evil abode for all people There are different grades with Allah and Allah is watching all their deeds He has certainly done a favor to the believers that in them send a prophet from among them who would reciting the verses of Allah and purifying them and giving them the Book of wisdom They give training and first of all these people are open were in error, what is it that when On the day of Uhud, trouble came upon you from the hands of the infidels Although the number of casualties in the battle of Badr was double that of the previous one Trouble has fallen on them because of you So you started saying that how did this trouble come upon us Tell them that this is your doomsday that you went against the Prophet’s command Surely, Allah is capable of everything and The trouble which befalls you is greater than both the worlds It happened on that day, so it happened by the order of Allah It happened and its purpose was that Allah Momin know it well and the hypocrite also find out and when they were told to come Fight in the way of Allah or fight against the infidels to stop the attacks, then they started saying that if we If there was news of a fight, I would definitely be yours Those days when they lived together, it was disbelief rather than faith Were closer than they say those words with their mouths which is not in their hearts and whatever they They hide it, Allah is well aware of it He himself was sitting safe from the war but who sacrificed their lives in the path of Allah I did tell you about those brothers of mine too that if you had listened to us then you wouldn’t have been killed tell me that if you are truthful then you should take care of yourself to postpone death from those who follow the path of Allah I killed him, don’t think of him as dead, he died but is not dead but alive in the sight of Allah and they are getting sustenance whatever Allah has protected them with His grace are happy with it and those who are left behind And could not join them by becoming martyrs They are celebrating because doomsday is coming On that day they will have no fear, nor will they There will be sorrow and the name and blessings of Allah will be recited are being pleased with it and that Allah The glory of a believer never goes waste who In spite of being wounded, Allah and His prophet Those who accepted the order were the good among them And for those who are pious, there is a great reward. When people came to him and stated that he was a Kufr I have created Lashkar Kaseer to fight you if you have accumulated it then fear them, then their faith and It became too much and they started saying to themselves Allah is sufficient and He is the best creator Then it is Allah’s blessings and His grace Khus Khurram came back with them somehow No fear reached him and he was the source of Allah’s pleasure remain submissive to him and Allah is the possessor of great grace It is the devil who is scaring you scares your friends so if you If you are a believer then do not fear them and only me Be fearful and those who hurry in disbelief don’t be sad because of them They cannot do any harm to Allah Allah wants that in the end they should get something Do not give them a share and a great punishment is ready for them those who bought disbelief in exchange for faith They cannot do any harm to Allah and There will be a torment that will be painful for them, and the unbelievers People should not think that we are giving them time if given then it is good for them No, but we give them time that he may commit more crimes to finally humiliate them There will be punishment for the people until Allah denies evil will not separate the believers from Pakistan the situation in which you are I will never stay and Allah will also protect you from the things of the unseen He will not retaliate except Allah with His Choose whichever of the prophets you want So you take it upon Allah and His messengers But have faith and if you remain steadfast in your faith and If you refrain from abusing, you will suffer great punishment those who are blessed with wealth which Allah has given to them By Fazal he has bestowed them with the blessings of the one who does bukh Is he not taking this fever as good for himself? Understand that it is not good but bad for them This is the stuff where they bugle about doom the day he made a yoke of it and put it around his neck and Allah will inherit the heavens and the earth and whatever deeds you do, you are for Allah You know, Allah has heard their call who say that Allah is a faqir and We are rich, this is what we call it and we will write to the prophets who committed this needless murder I have been doing this, I will keep it under control as well And on the Day of Resurrection they will say, Keep enjoying the punishment of the fire, these are the deeds this is the punishment for keeping your hands moving forward And Allah is dependent on His servants He sent that until a prophet comes to us such If someone does not bring offering, then fire comes and consumes him Till then we will not believe in him, O Prophet Tell them that before me there were many prophets of yours He brought open signs near him and he I also brought socks if you say so If you are right, then why did you kill them? Then if these people are lying to you, Many prophets have been revealed before you with signs and true faith and illuminating books It has come to pass that they too were denied by every The person has to taste death and you On the Day of Judgment the full value of your deeds When the reward is given, whoever is far away from Hell He was kept and entered into Paradise Murad got achieved and the life of the world So this is a matter of deception, O people of faith I definitely tested you in life and wealth and you will go from the People of the Book and those people to those who are polytheists, many things are said by me If you would listen then you would show patience and abstinence if you stay then this is an act of great courage and when Allah has given the Book to those to whom He has given the Book It was agreed that whatever was written in it He has to keep telling it clearly to people and do not hide anything about him They threw the book at him and I got a little price in return for this It is bad for those who achieve something are happy with the work done and that work For those who don’t do it, I wish that their Don’t worry about being praised that he would be saved from the punishment and they There will be a painful torment, and the heavens and The sovereignty of the earth belongs to Allah and Allah is capable of everything, certainly the heavens and the creation of the earth and of night and day For those who have the wisdom to take turns in coming and going There are signs that every person standing, sitting and lying down In the morning I remember Allah and look at the sky and They look into the production of the land and say that O God you have created this universe You were not created for any benefit, you are pure, you are doomsday Save us from the punishment of hell on that day O Lord, the one whom you have put into hell Disgraced and the oppressors have no helper Oh God, we have found a caller I heard that he was calling out in the name of faith that his Have faith in God and we will have faith So O Lord, forgive our sins and remove our evils from us and Raise me from this world with the noble people O Lord, whatever things you have given us, made promises to their prophets May He grant us and on the Day of Resurrection we Do not embarrass me, there is no doubt that you are against me if he does not make the promise then his God will He accepted his prayer and said, The action of someone who does something is a man or woman you don’t go away from each other If there is any commodity then those people who left their country for me and were driven from their homes and persecuted and Fought and murdered, I take away their sins and I will admit them into Paradise Beneath which rivers flow, this is Allah’s There is a reward from here and it is better with Allah O Prophet, the revenge of the infidels is in the cities Don’t let your style of walking deceive you There is a little benefit in this world, then the hereafter Their abode is Hell and that evil there is place but those who are For those who remain afraid, there are gardens beneath them The canals are flowing and he is always in them These will remain their guests from Allah’s place And whatever is with Allah is righteous. it is very good for you and for other people There are books which are based on Allah and Him on the book which was revealed to you and on that which They believe in what has been revealed to them and Allah and they bow down before the verses of Allah These are the people who don’t take even a small price in return whose reward is with their Lord God is ready and quick to judge O people of faith, you are proven against disbelief Stay tuned and Istkameshwari By producing men and women through exercise, spread it and fear Allah for whom you demand rights from one another and beware of mercy, there is no doubt that Allah is watching you and the property of the orphan hand over to them those who are under your control Give them to me, and their pure and fine goods Do not exchange with evil and bad things, nor with them Mix the goods with your goods and eat it because it is big It is a serious crime and if you are aware of this, then your There should be fear about orphan girls If you cannot do justice then except those women Do you like two or three?

Do it, surely Allah is forgiving Who will forgive those people? I did not see those who were given parts from the book that he bought misguidedness and wanted that you too may stray from the path and Allah is well aware of your enemies And Allah is sufficient and Allah alone is very helpful and these are the Jews among There are some people who believe that the book of Allah removes the Kalema from its Maqama and They say we listened and did not listen and they say listen or make others listen and to your tongue By twisting and by the path of tension in religion from you During the conversation Raina says and if You can say that we have heard it and accepted it and Only instead of this Ma and Rhina, Ungerbock Curse them the way you cursed those who were on weekdays It was on the book revealed by us, which Iman also confirms your book Bring it and do what Allah has commanded Understand that Allah has forgiven this sin He did not spare anyone who was made a partner with him and other than this any other sin can be forgiven to whomsoever he wishes and whoever has assigned partners to Allah did he tie a big knot did you see them I have not seen people who call themselves ‘Paa’ There is no one but whomever Allah desires purifies them and even a thread-like mark is left on them There will be no injustice, see how it is on Allah Lies create storms and this is open crime It’s enough, you haven’t seen them who have been given portions from the book that They believe in idols and devils and are infidels It is said about them that these people are the believers These are the people who are truly on the right path those whom Allah has cursed and those on whom If Allah curses you then you can curse anyone Will you not find any helper, do they have the kingship If there is some part in that case then it will make people we won’t give even a bit or whatever Allah has He has given people his love by his grace If we do, then we will protect the family of Ibrahim He gave us books and grains and ruled over the Sultanate Azim was also spared, then one of the people someone accepted that book and someone stopped from it All that remains is hell for those who do not believe The fire burning is enough for those who have They disbelieved in the verses and we brought them closer to the Fire Whenever their throats are empty I’ll enter If they go, we will replace them with more empty ones So that the fun of punishment can always be felt, of course Allah is mighty and wise and those who We believed in them and kept doing good deeds They will enter Paradise beneath which there are rivers They are flowing in them, they will always be there There are pure wives for them and we will give them Muslims will enter in dense shade Allah commands you to trust hand over the trust of the people to them and When you try to judge people, do so with justice decide may god bless you He gives advice, surely Allah hears and sees O believer of Allah and His prophet Be obedient and whoever amongst you is gentle they also have authority then if in any matter If there is a dispute amongst you then if Allah and If you believe in the end, then Allah is in it And turn to the command of His Messenger, It is a very good thing and the end result is good too Have you not seen the people who They claim that the book which is written on you and the books which were revealed before you I have faith in all of them and I want this that I present my case as a rebel against Allah took him near them and got the decision made although they were ordered It was given to him that he should not be obeyed and the devil He wants to mislead them and lead them astray put it away and when it is said to them that Allah sent down the command towards him Turn and come to the Prophet, then you Do you see a hypocrite avoiding you? and then we stop and then what is the point of not talking that when some person falls upon them due to the misfortune of their deeds If trouble happens I run to you We come and swear that Vallah is ours The aim of these people was to do good and to enjoy Whatever is in the hearts, Allah blesses it. He knows you don’t care about what they say and admonish them and tell them to do so Say things that will touch their hearts And We have sent every Prophet for this very reason has been sent according to the command of Allah His orders should be obeyed and when these people if I was oppressing you They would come and ask Allah for forgiveness and the Prophet If you had asked for forgiveness for them, then Allah The one who forgives is very merciful By your God, until these people Don’t make me a judge in my tension And whatever decision you make in your heart, Don’t get upset, but accept it happily until then we will not be believers and if we believe in them you would have done the duty to kill yourself Or if you leave your house, then one of these Very few people do this and if it is not in accordance with that advice But there are carbons which are done to them, then their Better in truth and more proven in religion There would have been a mojib of Kadmi and in that case we He also bestows great blessings on them with his blessings and also shows them the straight path and those who They worship Allah and His prophet On the Day of Judgment he will be with those who But Allah did a great favour i.e. the prophets And the Siddiq and the martyrs and the Saliheen and those This blessing of Allah is very great It is a blessing and Allah knows enough Mominos, take up arms for Jihad Then either you go out in groups or everyone Do something together and there will be no one among you It also delays unnecessarily and stays behind then if some trouble befalls you When he goes he says that Allah has blessed me with a great Thankfully, I was not among them and If Allah showers His favour on you then It was as if there was no friendship between you and him I regret and say that I wish I was also like them If we were together then our great aim would have been achieved now People buy the hereafter and in exchange for it the world that those who want to sell their life should that they should fight in the way of Allah and whoever Fight in the way of Allah and then become a martyr Or should we go closer to him? He is bigger than us will give and what has happened to you that Allah’s on the road and those helpless men and women and Those who pray don’t fight for the sake of their children we pray to God to take us out of this city Whose residents are cruel, drive them out somewhere And take someone from your side to our side Agree and send someone from your side to us Appoint a helper; he who is a believer is those who fight in the way of Allah and those who disbelieve He fights in the way of the devil so you Fight with the help of the devil and do not be afraid Because the devil’s claim is weak You haven’t seen the people you saw before It was ordered that one’s hands Abstain from war and pray and pay zakat Keep giving when jihad is made compulsory for them If it happened then some people would say this to them They started to fear as if they were afraid of Allah but more than that he began to say that Allah, why did you make jihad so early upon us? You gave us some time and why did you give us any more time No, O Prophet, tell them that the world’s The benefit is very little and too much of a good thing For the pious there is salvation in the hereafter and upon you You won’t be subjected to even a thread’s worth of oppression Those who are afraid of Jihad, you may die somewhere You will always have something to eat, stay strong in your lives And if these people get any benefit So they say it is from Allah and If any calamity befalls you then O Prophet I am telling you that it is because of you that we It has arrived, tell them that Allah is the only thing that can provide relief from pain what has happened to these people that I cannot even understand you, O human being Whatever benefit comes is from Allah And any harm that occurs is your own misfortune. and O Prophet we have made you the reason for sent as a prophet for the guidance of Allah is sufficient witness that the person If he obeys the Rasool then surely he has those who obey Allah and those who disobey So O Prophet we have given you their He was not sent as a guard and these people But I say that I am your obedient heart I agree but when I go away from you then most of these people are yours at night who advise against things and who They contemplate this, Allah records it Is So don’t worry about them and rely on Allah Have faith and Allah is sufficient Why don’t you pay attention to this in the Quran if This would have been the words of someone other than Allah So he would find a lot of disagreement in this and when No news of peace or terror reached them. if it is then it makes it famous although if present him to the Prophet and his superiors if he had brought it then the investigators would have investigated it you would have done it and if the grace of Allah was upon you and If it were not for his kindness, a few men would have All of you would have fallen prey to the devil except me Fight in the way of the Prophet of Allah You are not responsible to anyone except the believers Also give order to those who are closer to Allah stop the fighting and may Allah bless Tareen is going to fight and punish The person who is very strict in terms of good things if he recommends it, he will get some of its reward You will get your share and recommend any bad thing Do that, he will get a share of his punishment And Allah has power over everything and when If someone prays for you, you answer him Pray to him with a better pen or with those Pray with words, surely Allah is for everything Allah is the one who takes account, He is the most merciful God that there is no one worthy of worship except Him He will surely gather you all on the Day of Judgment And who can be more truthful than Allah? Now what is the reason that you Muslims are hypocrites? Although two gangs have formed about Allah punished them for their deeds do you want that the person Allah has allowed him to remain astray Bring to the right path and the person whom Allah Never let him mislead you you will not find the way, he wants that Just as he himself is a Kafir, you too are be a kaafir and become equal to all then until they Do not leave your country in the path of Allah Don’t make anyone friends if the reason is in the country if they do not confess then catch them and where Get it, kill it and make one of them your own Do not make friends and helpers but those who are You have met people in whom and in you be it the promise of sleep or in such a state that their hearts than fighting with you or your community You are waiting for me to come to you, then it’ll be another matter and if Allah had willed, he would have defeated you If you overpower them then they will definitely fight with you If he kisses you, that means you Let me not fight and I will send you a message of peace So Allah has sent them for you There is no provision for coercion that you will find some other people also who I want you to live in peace as well He lived in peace with his own community, but when Fina If English is called upon, then one turns upside down If such people fail to fight with you Kanara should not puff and neither should I look towards you Send the message of peace and do not hold back your hands So catch them and kill them wherever you find them And in comparison with these people, we You have been given a free hand and no believer It is not a pity that he should kill another believer But I did it by mistake and even if it was by mistake If he kills a Momin then he becomes a Muslim slave Set them free and shed the blood of the heirs of the deceased also give this but that he should forgive then if The dead from the group of your enemies and if he himself is a believer then there is only one Muslim slaves should be freed and if You are among the dead people in whom and you If there is a pact of reconciliation then the heirs of the deceased will be shed blood and set a Muslim slave free should be done and those who cannot afford it, Mut Vatir should keep fasts for two months, this Kaffara Acceptance from Allah is for repentance and Allah is all-knowing, He is all-wise and whoever insults a Muslim if he throws it in, then his punishment is hell, in which he will always be jealous and Allah will shower His wrath on him and will curse him and such a person’s He has prepared a severe punishment for them Momino, when you are out in the way of Allah If you go out then do it with investigation and whatever If a person greets you, do not tell him that You are not a believer that you need him May it be that one gains the benefit of the life of the world Do it, Allah has many blessings You too were like this before, then Allah I did you a favor so investigate further Certainly, accept whatever you do, O Allah Everyone knows about the Muslims sitting in their homes They live and avoid fighting, and no one else Those who do not take rewards and those who are in the way of Allah Both those who perform jihad with their wealth and life Jihad with wealth and life cannot be equal Allah blesses those who do it and those who sit has bestowed excellence in status and is excellent Allah has promised the end to everyone and In terms of Azar Azam, Allah has instructed us to do Jihad Those who stay have some superiority over those who sit It is a gift, that is, a rank from Allah And in forgiveness and in mercy, and Allah is greatest The One who forgives is most merciful to those who When angels put their lives at stake When their life starts becoming a chokehold, then they When they ask how you were, they say We were fed up and helpless in our country The angels say is this the country of Allah There was no opportunity for you to migrate to it So the abode of such people is Hell and they It is a bad place to return to, yes the man and Women and children are helpless because neither any I can make arrangements but I don’t know the way If they are there then it is near that Allah will forgive such people Give and Allah is the most forgiving He is the most forgiving and whoever follows the path of Allah I leave my home and she lives in a lot of land will get a place to live and comfort and the person who Migrating towards Allah and His Messenger if he comes out from there and then death catches him then his The reward has been assigned to Allah and Allah He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful, and When you go on a journey, you will be rewarded with something It is not necessary to reduce the number of prayers but You are afraid that the infidels will persecute you Surely the disbelievers are your open enemies and Prophet, when you are in this army of Mujahideen And if you start teaching them namaz then it should be that A group of them are with you in prayer When he has finished prostrating, stand up go back and the other group which offered namaz did not study, in their place came more intelligent and mature If a kaafir prays with you then All I want is for you to get a little more stock in your weapons and Be careless of the stuff that will fall on you all at once attack me and if you are in trouble because of the rain If you are in the hospital or are ill, then there is no sin on you Not that you should take off your weapons but defend yourself Allah must do this for the disbelievers The punishment of humiliation is ready for when If you have completed this namaz then stand up and Remember Allah in every condition whether you sit or lie down do it then when you are satisfied then complete it Pray with respect, of course, pray It is duty for believers to perform their duties within their limits And there is no letup in chasing these infidels If you are uncomfortable then do it as You are restless, similarly he is also restless There is comfort and you are blessed with such blessings from Allah you have expectations that they don’t have and Allah is all-knowing and all-wise O Prophet, we have revealed the true book to you so that according to the guidance of Allah Decide people’s cases and see Never argue in support of a traitor and Keep asking Allah for forgiveness, surely Allah The Most Forgiving is the Most Merciful and those who We take care of our things Do not argue with anyone because Allah is a traitor And these people do not keep criminals as friends We hide from them but we cannot hide from Allah Though when it comes to such things at nights He gives advice to those who don’t like him If he does then it is with them and Allah is grateful for all their deeds Well you people in this world are their If you argue on one side then on the Day of Judgment Who will argue with Allah on their behalf? And who will be their lawyer and who is the person Do a bad deed or commit injustice against yourself Do it and then ask Allah for forgiveness, so Allah The one who forgives greatly will find the most merciful And whoever commits a sin, the consequences for it will be upon him and Allah is all-knowing is wise and whoever commits any mistake or One commits the crime himself but someone else is blamed for it If you put it on an innocent it would flow and open up You placed the burden of sin on your head and O Prophet, if May Allah’s grace and mercy be upon you If it were so, then one of these groups would have misled you I had already done my duty and this was not for anyone except me I can’t mislead you and neither can you do anything can spoil it and Allah has blessed you with The Book and wisdom have been revealed and to you taught you things you didn’t know And Allah has bestowed great favor upon you Many of the whispers of these people are not good yes that person’s whispering might be good which is charity or a good deed or peace among people and whoever does such work is for the sake of Allah to achieve happiness we will do it He will be given a great reward and the person who is straight After knowing the way the Prophet to oppose others and to go beyond the path of the believers If you walk on some other path, that is where he goes We will drive him there and on the Day of Judgment We will admit her into Hell and she will be cursed with evil May Allah not forgive this sin Someone should be made a partner with him and other than that And He will forgive the sins of whomsoever He wishes, and whoever associates with Allah, then certainly he These people have gone away from the path of Allah except those who worship some goddesses and if we call out to the devil, then it is the rebel The one whom Allah has cursed and he is I started saying to you, I am stranger to your servants by getting a Niyaz of Rs. a fixed amount of goods I will take part and mislead them I will continue to do so and give them hope and I will continue to teach that animals have ears And if I keep explaining to them then they will believe in Allah you will keep ruining the conditions that have been created and The man left Allah and made Satan his friend he made them he was clearly at a loss makes promises and gives hope and who Some devils give them promises but they are deceitful This is deception, the abode of such people is hell and He won’t be able to find any way out from there And those who believed and did good deeds We will admit into Paradise those who The canals flow down below, he is always in them This is the true promise of Allah and Who is more truthful than Allah? Muslims, otherwise you may be saved It is based on desires and not on the desires of the people of the book Whoever does evil will be repaid in the same way will be given and it will be given to none except Allah who will find neither supporter nor helper nor the righteous whether he is a man or a woman he will do the work while the Sahib If they have faith, such people will enter heaven and they would never even ask for a single penny’s worth of rights will go and whose religion is better than that person who has bowed his head before Allah And he is a righteous man and the follower of the religion of Ibrahim. who is the foot of Yaku i.e. one Allah and Allah made Ibrahim his I had made friends and in the sky and on the earth Everything belongs to Allah and Allah is everything O Prophet, you are surrounding yourself with a thing I ask you to issue a fatwa regarding orphan women Say to them that Allah will support you with them gives permission for marriage and The command which is given earlier in this book it’s about those orphan women whom you You don’t give them their rights and still have desires that you marry them and also the poor about bekas children and also gives that you should uphold justice towards the orphan and Whatever good you do, Allah will surely reward you with it and if any woman knows the need of her own If there is a fear of excess or indifference from the other side There is no fault of husband and wife for having sex with each other settle for some agreement and the reconciliation will be good It is a thing and my health itself is inclined towards anger It does happen and if you do good deeds and abstain from evil If you abuse me then Allah will punish you for all your deeds and no matter how much you wish to eat If you will never be able to exchange your wives Do not do such a thing that you get inclined towards one thing and Leave the other one in such a condition that it seems is hanging in the balance and if there is a fight between us stop and abstain from abuse, then Allah The Forgiving is the Most Merciful and if If husband and wife get separated from each other Allah will make everyone blessed by His grace And Allah is Glorious and Wise. and whatever is in the sky and whatever is in the earth everything belongs to Allah and those who The book was given to them also before you and Prophet, We have also given you our command that you should fear Allah and if you If you disbelieve then understand that whatever is in the heavens Whatever is in me and in the earth is all Allah Who is it and Allah is selfless, worthy of Hamd Sana and then listen to whatever is in the heavens And whatever is in the earth belongs to Allah And Allah is enough for the people if If he wishes he can destroy you and your Create a place and people and Allah will make this The person who is completely capable of talking is the world If he is seeking the reward of that, then he should know that with Allah both this world and the hereafter The reward is present and Allah listens He sees, O you who believe, stay steadfast to justice And give true testimony for the sake of Allah against yourself or your parents And if someone is against the relatives If one is rich or poor then Allah is for both of them You are eating too much good because of your self desires don’t leave justice by following someone if you Will you say something vague or the truth If you do the same then know that Allah will bless you The believers are aware of the deeds of Allah and on his messenger and the book which he has sent in his and the books which have been revealed to the Prophet It was revealed earlier, have faith in everyone and whoever The person is the protector of Allah and His angels and His From the books and its prophets and the daily doomsday He disbelieved and strayed away from the path Those who believed and then became unbelievers and then believed again They brought it, then became infidels and then increased in disbelief may Allah neither forgive them nor O Prophet, you will show them the right path No good news to the hypocrites, i.e. two rude people Give me a painful punishment prepared for them He who abandons the believers and gives up the unbelievers Do you make friends? Is this an honor for them? If you want to achieve respect then everyone It is Allah’s and Allah has given you, believers But he revealed this order in his book that when you hear somewhere that Allah’s The verses are being denied and they are being laughed at it is being blown away so as long as those people and things don’t sit near them or else you will also There is no doubt that you will be counted among them Allah sends all the hypocrites and infidels to hell There is a collector who keeps watching you Then if you get victory from Allah When we meet they say, are I not with you? And if victory was destined for the infidels, then they say were we not lib on you and did not save you from the hands of the Muslims Now Allah will judge between all of you on the Day of Judgment and Allah will turn the infidels upon the believers The hypocrite will never prevail with these tricks In their view, they deceive Allah Why would they betray him, he would betray them and when this person is standing for namaz If they are, they just become lazy and lethargic Just to show off to people and remember Allah I don’t do it but there is very little shaking are they neither on their side nor on this one and If someone is led astray by Allah then you can never do anything for him You will not find the way, O people of faith and believers Do not make friends except infidels? Do you want the blessings of Allah upon you? Take the blame, there is no doubt that the hypocrites will be in the lowest level of Hell and You won’t find anyone to help them, yes those who repented and accepted their condition I fixed it and tied the rope of Allah I held on strongly and I followed the orders of pure Allah If such people become friends then they will not be with the believers And Allah will make the believer greater You will get reward if you are thankful to Allah If you survive and have faith in Him, then Allah what will Allah do by punishing you and Allah is aware of this fact I don’t like it when someone tries to bribe someone Only the one who is oppressed can say bad things and Allah is the best Hear something, know if you guys are good Will you do it openly or secretly or do evil If you request him then even Allah will forgive you Those who are the masters of nature, are blessed by Allah and disbelieve in His prophets, and Differentiating between Allah and His Prophets want and say that we believe in the eagle and do not believe in the hawk and have faith and I want to find a way out amidst disbelief Yes, they are certainly infidels, and for the infidels We have prepared the punishment of humiliation and those who believe in Allah and his prophets and made no distinction between any of them That is, everyone is considered to be close to such people May Allah reward us for our good deeds and The One who is Forgiving is the Most Merciful, O Prophet The People of the Book request you that You can write a book on them from the sky If you bring it down from Moses, it is even more I have made big requests to them We were face to face with Allah Show them the reason for their crime Lightning caught me and then there were clear signs If after leaving, you start making the calf your god We also made requests to him, and We made Moses We had given them an open charter and we had taken an oath from them He raised Kohe Tur over them and ordered to enter the city gate If it is to be done then one must enter while prostrating and this He also ordered that fish should be eaten on weekdays Resentment in catching means not going against the order We took a strong oath from them but If they broke their covenant then Breaking the rules and disbelief from the verses of Allah and killing the prophets without any reason and this There is a reason to say that our hearts are veiled Allah has made them men and There are no veils on their hearts, but their Allah has sealed them because of their disbelief If it is so, then it has little faith and their The cause of disbelief and a great blessing on Maryam for the sake of binding and for the sake of saying that we have to Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, who was He was called a prophet, Allah has murdered him made him angry though he Jesus was neither murdered nor crucified but those people were not able to climb on it The form became known and those who knew about it He disagrees with them out of suspicion lying down and walking on the strength of pride To them its Mutlu Isa was certainly not murdered but Allah raised him to His side and Allah is free, He is wise and His people No one will be in the book but his death he will believe in them before the Doomsday and he There will be witnesses against them on the Day of Judgment, so we have made the Jews many pure things were lost because of the atrocities of that which was lawful for them, they made it forbidden for them, and this also because he often goes in the way of Allah they used to stop people from doing this and also because Inspite of being prohibited they used to take interest and this also because they used to usurp people’s wealth without any reason And for those who disbelieve among them We have A painful punishment has been prepared But those who among them are firm in their knowledge And he who believes in this Book, which is beyond you and the books which were revealed before you We have faith in everything and offer our prayers and give zakat and worship Allah and daily If we believe in the end then we will bring them closer O Muhammad Sallallahu I will give you great reward Alaihi Wali Wasallam we have turned towards you in that in the same way as Noah and those after him. it was sent to the prophets and Ibrahim And Ismail and Iq and Yakub and the children of Yakub And Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroon and We had also sent the same to Suleiman, and To Dawood We also bestowed the Zabur and many who are prophets whose condition we know from you have already made the statement and many more There are prophets whose circumstances we have narrated to you They did not do so and Allah Himself told Moses Allah said this to all the prophets By making those who bring good news and those who scare so that after the coming of the prophets People have no argument against Allah I met you and Allah is mighty and wise But the Book which Allah has revealed to you Allah testifies regarding him that He has sent down from His knowledge and the angels They also give testimony and the witness is only Allah Enough is enough for those who disbelieved and for the people he stopped him from the path of Allah Those who went astray and became disbelievers, They kept committing atrocities, may Allah forgive them No, and I will not show them the way, yes except the path of hell in which he will always We will always be here and this is easy for Allah People this prophet is with you I have brought the truth from God So have faith in them, it is in your favor It is better and if you disbelieve then know it that all that is in the heavens and on the earth It belongs to Allah and Allah knows everything He is the one who has wisdom, O people of the book Do not exceed the limits in matters of religion and Allah Say nothing about Christ except what is true That is, Jesus, son of Mary, is the messenger of Allah and these were his special orders which he gave to Mary had sent it towards and there was a spirit by his side So have faith in Allah and His messengers and Do not say that there are three Gods in Takadina and whatever is in the ground is all that and Allah is sufficient for the creator Christ does not mind that God’s There are no human beings and no fixed angels And whoever is ready to be a servant of Allah If one understands the power and rebels then Allah will save everything He will gather the people around him now whoever believed and kept doing good deeds and they He will give full revenge and some from his grace he will bestow even more blessings and those who and refused to be and asked him, painful punishment And he has no other supporter besides Allah You will not find any help from your people You have a great blessing from the Almighty.

So forgive them and request them Allah blesses those who do good And those who say that we are addicts, we I had taken a vow from them also but if they too part of the advice that was given to them If they forgot, then we will destroy them till the Doomsday and whatever They kept bringing Allah closer to them He will warn you, O people of the book Our prophets have finally come to power that whatever You used to hide them from the book of Allah I will tell you a lot of it openly and forgives many of your sins Surely, they make it available to you the blessings of Allah A book of light and light has come from this side, which May Allah grant safety to those who follow His will shows the way and by his command taking them out of the darkness into the light and guides them on the right path Those who say that Allah is the same as Christ He is the Ibn Maryam, he is surely a disbeliever, tell him give that if Allah gave Isa ibn Maryam and to his mother and all those in the earth If he wants to kill everyone then who can stand before him? and the sky and the earth and whatever There is something between them, Allah is above all It is his rule, he creates whatever he wants and Allah is all-powerful over everything, Neither Jews nor Sarah say that we are followers of Allah son and his beloved say that then he you will be punished for your sins Why doesn’t he give it to you but you are his creation I am a person like others, the one who He can forgive and punish whomever He wants, and the sky and the earth and whatever is between them It is Allah’s rule over all and everyone is dependent on Him We have to return to the side, O people of the book The series of arrival of prophets which lasted for a long time If you keep waiting then now you have our The Prophet has come who will tell you our truth so that you don’t say that we have No one came to bring good news or fear So now I have good news and warnings to bring to you. The ones have come and Allah is powerful over everything yes and when Moses said to his people that The favours that Allah has bestowed upon you, brothers Remember Him who created a Prophet among you and made you a king and you He bestowed so much blessings that out of the people of the world O brothers, you did not give your request to anyone Muqaddas means the country in Sham which Allah has written it for you come in And make sure you don’t turn your back during the fight Otherwise you will be in loss, he started saying Moses, there live very powerful people there And until that head comes out of the ground we can’t go there yes if he is from there If we leave then we will enter whoever There were two men among them who feared Allah But it was Allah’s grace that these attack people through doorways Then when you entered the door, you achieved victory It’s yours and trust in Allah If you are truly faithful he said that Moses, as long as they are there we will never be there If you must fight without going, then you And your lord both of you go and we will fight We will sit here, Moses asked Allah I prayed that O God, I am for myself and my I have no authority over anyone except my brother You keep it between us and these disobedient people Allah said that he The country is forbidden to them for 40 years. It was told that you will not be able to go there, this is In the area where now heads are roaming around If we stay then we will be at the mercy of these disrespectful people Do not regret and O Prophet give them to Adam The condition of sons Habib and Qabil which is absolutely are you true, read it out loud that when both of them when he offered his offering one by one at the court of Allah One’s prayer was accepted and the other’s When she did not accept it, Qabil started saying to Habil that I will kill you he said Allah accepts the prayers of only those who pious If you are going to kill me, If you lay a hand on me, I will kill you I will not lay my hand on you to do this So I am afraid of Allah Rabbul Alameen I want you to take away my sins as well And you will confess your sins in the people of hell Let it happen and this is the punishment for the oppressors after all His self, i.e. Qabil’s self, called him his brother when he gave the order to kill him, he killed him I did it and now I am among the recipients Allah sent a crow which dug in the ground so that he could show him his brother’s corpse How to hide it, he started saying oh less luck I couldn’t even be like this crow I would have hidden my brother’s body then He felt remorseful for the murder we committed It was written upon the children of Israel that whoever A person will kill someone without reason, that is, without whether we should avenge our lives or our country if he is punished for doing wrong, he as if all the people were murdered and the one who If one person saves a person’s life, it is as if he has saved all gave life to humans and for these people Our Prophet has already brought clear arguments to us Even after that, many of these people are still in the country Those who commit injustice are Allah and fight against His Messenger, and in the country This is their punishment for running around to create mischief should be brutally murdered or crucified be offered or their hands on each side and The legs on each side should be cut off or If they are made to disappear then this is their only hope in the world There is disgrace for them, and a great punishment for them in the end A great punishment is ready for those who have done this The thing is that you can control it if you repent Know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful O you who believe, fear Allah and Keep looking for his proximity and his path I must do Jihad so that those who are successful they are infidels if they have there should be rueda and with it there should be more of the same So that on the Day of Judgment the revenge for being saved from punishment if they give it, it will not be accepted from them and they It would be a painful punishment, he would want that You can get out of the fire but you can’t get out of it And for them is everlasting punishment, and theft The man who steals and the woman who steals Cut off each of their hands, this is proof of their misdeeds As a punishment and a lesson from Allah and Allah is mighty and wise, then A person who repents after committing a sin and becomes a virtuous person If he does something then Allah will forgive him There is no doubt that Allah is the most forgiving He is very kind, don’t you know that there is only Allah in the heavens and the earth It is a kingdom and it can punish anyone it wants If only he could forgive me and Allah is full of everything O Prophet, those who are in disbelief are brave. Let’s hurry up and do something among those people are those who say with their mouth that they are believers But their hearts are not believers and nothing else Going because of those among them who are Jews These people shouldn’t be there to create lies They go around spying on other people have become spies for the one who is with you now Things did not come to be proved in their place after being taken away from the people They say that if you receive this order then Accept it and if you don’t get it then Avoid this and whomever Allah wishes to make disappear So you will get guidance from Allah for that. These people do not have any authority over whose hearts Allah has purified I did not want any humiliation for them in this world And in the end there is a great punishment for these lies spies and bribes to make are going to eat the haram stuff if this do you have any case to decide If you come then you decide between these or not Do Gardani and if you get angry with them If you do it, it won’t harm you in any way and if you want to decide then you can do justice to decide that Allah is the judge of those who are just and it keeps you as its friend Why should we file a case and get it decided when we ourselves are They have the Torah in which Allah’s The order is written, then you know it After that they turn away from it and these people They do not believe, surely We have revealed the Torah He said that it belongs to him in whom there is guidance and light. According to the prophets who were obedient to Allah have been ordering the Jews and Appointed guardians of the book of Mushaira had gone there and there were witnesses to it i.e. divine order So don’t be afraid of people And fear Me and be faithful to My verses Do not take a small price in return and whatever Allah Order according to the revealed sayings of the Prophet If they don’t give, then such people are infidels And We have revealed to them in the Torah this The order was written that life in exchange for life and eye for eye and nose for nose and ear for ear and tooth for tooth and The person who has now avenged all the wounds in this manner If he forgives the revenge, it will be atonement for him and which are the revelations of Allah If you do not give orders as per the need then such people will be There is justice and after those prophets only We sent Isa ibn Maryam in the footsteps of which confirms the Torah which came before it. and I gave them the Gospel in which There is guidance and light, and of the Torah which precedes it. The book confirms and cautions against She guides and advises the people and The Gospel requires that According to Ekambadeswarar he will not give orders So such people are disobedient and O Prophet we have The true book has been revealed to you, which confirms the first books and There is a watch over everything, so whatever Allah commands According to what has been revealed You have the right to decide between Leaving him behind, he has come to fulfill their desires Do not plead, we have chosen each one of you A tradition and a way for the community has been determined And if Allah had willed, you would have been given the same I would have done it according to the Shariat but whatever order he gave you I have given them to you to try He wants you to move ahead in noble deeds Everybody has to return to Allah The things that you had disagreements about, you he will tell and we reiterate that whoever Allah has revealed the commandment of decide according to them and Do not follow desires and be attached to them to stay together as per some order given by Allah It has been revealed to you somewhere Don’t mislead me, if he doesn’t agree then know it that Allah wants that they should forgive all their sins cause trouble to fall upon them and often People are disobedient anyway, so what is this era The desire to make a decision like that of an ignorant person is weak and from Allah for those who believe Whose decision will be better, O believing Jews? And don’t make Sara your friend, they are not friends with each other and the person amongst you who is their friend He will make friends and will also be counted among them Surely Allah does not guide the unjust If it gives, then those who have the fear of retribution in their hearts It is a disease, you will see them running in it we meet running they say that we I am afraid that the wrath of the world may fall upon us It is near if it comes or Allah sends a blessing Let some other immortal being descend from
here then These people hide their innermost thoughts were professions and will remain as such at that time Muslims will wonder if this is the same who has taken strict oaths in the name of Allah We used to say that we are with you, their actions You have lost your face and fallen into loss, O faith People, if anyone amongst you turns away from his religion, If he goes, Allah will create such people Whom he keeps as his friend and whom he keeps as his friend And those who are soft on the believers and You are the one who is strict with the infidels. Do jihad on the path and do not blame anyone Do not be afraid of the blame of others, this is Allah’s blessing He gives to whomever he wishes and Allah He is a great warrior, he knows everything Muslims, your friends are Allah and His Prophet and the believer are the ones who offer namaz Read and give zakat and pray before Allah bow down and whoever is If he makes friendship with the Prophet and the believers then he He will be from the group of Allah and will be a part of Allah’s group. It is the Jamaat that will achieve victory, O believers Those who were given books before you to them and to the infidels who have My friend, you have made poverty a joke and a game Make them and if you are a believer then fear Allah Stay and when you give the adhan for namaz If yes, then it makes it a joke and a game Because you do not understand, say: O people Book, what evil do you see in us? except that we believe in Allah and the Book on that which was revealed to us and on the books which were revealed earlier we have believed in all that was revealed and that You often have bad characters, tell me should I Let me tell you that even with this, Allah has Who are the people who get the worst justice? those whom Allah has cursed and those on whom He has cursed The nose became amazing and those who saw monkeys and and those who worshiped the devil Such people worship others in a bad way and he is far from the right path and When these people come to you they say It is true that we have accepted faith even though we have disbelief they come and take away the same and those who They hide things, Allah blesses them a lot knows and you will see that often in these Quick to commit sins, excesses and eat haram food Of course whatever they do is bad Their musketeers and scholars do them good Forbidden from saying sinful things and eating haram Why don’t you do it without any reason that is also bad and the Jews say that Allah’s Hands are tied, which means Allah is blessed Their hands should be tied and they should be made to say this Shame on all of them, the fact is that his Both hands are open in whatever way and as much He wants to spend it and O Prophet this book which is bestowed upon you from your Lord This resulted in most of these mischiefs And the denial and the increase and We have made a difference between them Enmity and hostility have been postponed till the Day of Judgment When ever they lit the fire of war Allah extinguished it and it became extinct in the country They run around to cause mischief and Allah I do not keep friends who create trouble, and If the People of the Book had faith and avoided evil had they done so, We would have relieved them of their sins and admit them into gardens of blessings, If he had given up the Torah and the Gospel and other books revealed to them from their Lord If you had kept them, then they would have been like sustenance It rains from above and beneath your feet Some of them are Miyana Rou and many So are those whose deeds are evil, O Prophet The message which has been revealed to you from Allah deliver it to all the people and if this happens If you do not do this then you will not be able to convey Allah’s message I will remain silent and Allah will protect you from the people Surely Allah will protect and guide the munkar does not Say: O People of the Book, until you the Bible and the other books you have Delivered upon you from the Almighty You won’t keep them on any path and this Quran which is yours It has been revealed to you from God This made most of them rebellious and disbelieving, and If it grows then don’t feel sorry for the community of Kufa those who believe in Allah and the Last Day And perform righteous deeds, whether one is a Muslim or a Jew Or star worshippers or Christians, they are doomed There will be no fear or sadness on this day We must have taken a covenant from the children of Israel and He also sent prophets towards them but when someone The Prophet would come to them with such things that Her heart did not want it so she went to Ambiya’s You would lie to one group and to another group They used to kill and thought that This will not cause any harm to them, so they They became blind and deaf, then Allah blessed them He said kindly but then many of them they became blind and deaf and Allah saved all their lives Those people are watching the deeds of shameless infidels there are those who say that Allah is the Messiah It is Mary, though Christ is from Judaism They used to say, O children of Israel, Worship the one who is my Lord and yours also and know that the person who is Allah Whoever shirks with someone, Allah will grant him Paradise He will make it forbidden and his abode is Hell And the wrongdoers will have no helper People are also infidels who are convinced that Allah is the third of three although He No one is worthy of worship except the One God No, if these people stop such activities If they do not come then those who are infidels among them If the one who causes trouble will get punishment then why is this they do not repent before Allah and We do not ask for forgiveness for our sins and Allah The Messiah is forgiving and merciful Maryam was a prophet even before that Many apostles had passed away and their mothers Maryam is a faithful and obedient woman of Allah Both were humans and ate food Look at what We reveal to these people in Our verses. you explain it openly like this then see this tell me where are these going reverse that you Why do you need anything other than Allah? You worship the one whom you worship for your benefits and There is no power to cause harm, and Allah He hears and knows everything, say that the people The book is not unnecessarily mum in the matters of your religion Do it and don’t follow the desires of such people Come on, those who have themselves been misled earlier and often also misled and strayed from the right path On those who disbelieved among the children of Israel Curse from the tongue of Dawood and Isa Ibn Maryam This was done because they were disobedient and crossed the limits and were shunned from evil deeds They used to do it, they didn’t stop each other Without a doubt he used to do bad things, you were one of them You will see many people making friendship with infidels we keep what they have sent forward The bad thing is that Allah is displeased with them And they will forever abide in torment, and If he relies on Allah and the Prophet and on the They believed in what the Book was revealed to them then don’t make these people friends but They are mostly bad characters, O Prophet You will see that most of all with Momin The enemies are Jews and polytheists and In terms of friendship, he is closer to Momin than You will find people who say we are addicts This is because among them there are scholars as well as drinkers and that this Takbbal listen to the book which this prophet When it was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him) then you You can see tears flowing from their eyes They go because they have recognized the truth I took this and I prayed to Allah Yes, O God, we have believed in you, so you Write it down among those who believe in us and what do we care it happened that on Allah and on the truth It has come to us but we don’t believe it and we are hopeful that our God keeps us virtuous He will enter Paradise along with his servants Allah rewarded him with the title of Paradise for saying this. Please grant me gardens beneath which canals flow it will always be in them and neku cars This is the reward for those who have disbelieved and rejected Our verses, or he Hell is for the believers who are pure in their ways have made them halal for you, not haram for them Do it and do not exceed the limits because Allah will not exceed the limits He does not keep friends who grow up and who Allah has provided you with halal and worthy livelihood Eat of it, and believe in Allah Be afraid of Allah, your unintentional oaths But from you Mukhajjiya So his Kaffara is mediocre to 10 Nader You have to feed your family Do you feed them or give them clothes or a slave? to set free and he who does not have this Keep three fasts, this is the expiation of your oath is when you make an oath and break it and Protect your oaths like this Allah open up Your verses for you to understand He explains it openly so that you may be grateful O you who believe, wine and gambling and idols and dice All these evil deeds are from the devil Avoid them so you can be successful The devil wants that people should indulge in alcohol and gambling. The reason is enmity and hatred among you and keep you away from the remembrance of Allah and If he stops you from praying then will you do these things? You will refrain from this and be obedient to Allah and keep obeying the Rasool and keep fearing him now if If you turn your face away then know that our Prophet It was his responsibility to just deliver the message It is to be given to those who have faith and do good deeds There is no blame on them for the things that they ate while they abstained and Believed and did good deeds, then abstained And they believed, then they abstained from sin and did good deeds And Allah keeps good cars as friends Believers are not the prey of any person whom you You can attain Allah with your hands and arms He will test you i.e. your state of ihraam I am hunting with the intention of finding out that who is afraid of him so that after that If he commits excesses then it will be painful for him O believers, the punishment is ready when you enter Ihram Do not kill any animal if you are capable of doing so And whoever of you kills him intentionally, or So give him recompense and that is that in the same way quadruped which two of you die decide, make a sacrifice and this Should the sacrifice be taken to the Kaaba or should it be offered as Kaffara and Is he going to feed the poor or Keep regular fasts so that you can get retribution for your deeds enjoy it and whatever has happened before has been taken by Allah has been forgiven and whoever does such a thing again Allah will take revenge from him and Allah is Ghalib He is going to take revenge for you Hunting and eating river animals it has been made halal, that means between you and For the benefit of travelers and for the protection of the forest prey on things as long as you are in the state of ihraam It is forbidden for you and whoever has been forbidden by Allah You will all be gathered near you, fear Allah opened the house of honor i.e. Kaaba for the people They have made the stay a tough one and the month of respect and the sacrificial animal and those animals those who have leashes tied around their necks, this is because You must know that whatever is in the heavens and whatever some is in the earth, Allah knows everything, and That Allah has knowledge of everything Remember that Allah is severe in punishment, and That Allah is Forgiving and Merciful The Prophet is only responsible for the message and whatever you express and whatever you do you despise Allah I know everything, tell me about the impure things and the pure Things are not equal even if they are impure If you like exercise then wise people fear Allah so that you may succeed Momino don’t ask questions about such things that if their reality was revealed to you if you go then you will feel bad and if you You will ask such questions in the dimension of being revealed Then it will be made clear to you now Allah has forbidden us from asking such things. He has said and Allah is Forgiving There have been many such conversations between people before you had also asked but when it was told then he Allah turned away from them, nor did any one give It has been decided and there is no other There is no way and no supporter but a kaafir They attribute lies to Allah and this often leads to intellect they don’t use it and when told to these people It is said that the book which Allah has revealed He has said to turn towards him and the Prophet if you do then they say that the way we have followed our We have found BapDada and that is enough for us If their fathers and grandfathers don’t know anything, Even if you are not on the right path, O believers Be careful when you are on instructions If someone is misguided then do something to harm you I cannot return you all to Allah At that time you have to go, he will give you all your He will warn you about the deeds you have done in the world And the believers will repay them when one of you If someone’s death is near then the rule of martyrdom This is that at the time of the will you are among the Muslims two men, Adil i.e. Sahib-e-Tabar, should be witnesses Or if you cannot find any Muslim and you are travelling And at that time the danger of death may arise upon you. If yes, then two persons of other religion should be called as witnesses Do it if you have any concern about those witnesses If there is any doubt then they should stand after Asr prayer Do it and both of you swear in the name of Allah that we We will not take any revenge for our martyrdom We are relatives and not the martyrdom of Allah If you do this, you are guilty then if it is known that both of them If someone commits a crime by telling a lie then He wanted to usurp the rights of the people In their place stood two more men who were dead You keep your distance from Allah and then Let us swear by our martyrdom on their martyrdom It is very true and we have not done any exaggeration that if this has been done then we are unjust very close to the way these guys are right Give up your life or fear the fact that our The oaths were also cancelled after they were taken and fear Allah and His deeds Listen carefully and obey Allah He does not instruct me to remember that day The day when Allah gathers the prophets is worthy and then he will ask them what do you I got the reply that he will request us to do something I don’t know that you are aware of the things of the unseen is when Allah says to Isa that O Isa son of Mary, remember my favors I did this to you and your mother When I asked Ruhal Qudsai Jibraeel about your You helped me in my lap and even though I was young I was the same used to chat with people on the phone and when I have given you the Book and the grain and the Torah, and I taught you the Bible and when you obey my command make the shape of a bird out of clay and then If they used to blow, they would do it on my orders would have become a real bird and born To the blind and to the one suffering from my disease They used to cure diseases and make the dead alive by giving orders They would bring him out of his grave alive and make him stand When I touched the hands of Bani Israel to you Stopped when you got them open scars When they brought it, those who were infidels amongst them began to say, that it was open and when I saw it he sent an order to me and my Have faith in the Prophet, they started saying that O God, we believe in you, remain a witness that We are obedient, remember that incident too when Hawar said: O Isa ibn Maryam Can your God do this so that we But send down the food from the sky He said, if you have faith then fear Allah He said that it is our wish that we eat of it and find satisfaction in our hearts, We know that you have told us the truth and we On the arrival of that Khan, Isa Ibn Maryam prayed: O our Lord, But please send down the king from the sky that our For that day became Eid i.e. our next day And for the rest, and that is a sign from you and give us sustenance and You are the best sustenance Allah is the giver, He said I am upon you Certainly the food will be revealed but whosoever Then whoever disbelieves amongst you will be punished with such a punishment I will give such punishment to someone in the world I will not give it and also remember that time when May Allah say: O Isa ibn Maryam what You told the people that there is no one except Allah Make me and my mother your God He will say that you are pure, when did I ever know that that I would say something to which I have no right no, if I said that you would You will know because what is in my heart You know him and what is in your heart I do not know, of course you are Alam-ul-Guyu I did not say anything to him except the one whose You commanded me that you are Allah pray to that which is mine and yours is God and as long as I am in them I kept you informed about the situation when you If you take them away from this world, then you are their caretaker and you are aware of everything if you tell them If you punish them then these are your servants and if If you spare them, it will be your kindness because You are the most powerful and wise, Allah Say that today is the day when the truth will be revealed Only truth will benefit them, there is a garden for them beneath which canals flow forever They will continue to live there. Allah is pleased with them. And they are happy with Allah, that is the biggest Success is the sky and the earth and whatever In both, Allah has sovereignty over all and He is capable of everything, O Allah In the name of the most kind and merciful All praise is for Allah who created the heavens and the earth, and Created darkness and light but still the infidel is the second Considering celebrities as equal to their God They say that it is He who has turned you into dust Created from a then fixed a time to die I did it and a period of time was fixed for him to say yes and Yet you infidels have doubts about this and in the sky and on the earth there is only one Allah So it is yours, hidden and manifest. knows things and the work you do The most aware and of the signs of Allah No sign comes to these people from But they turn their back on it when their When the right came to him, he denied it as well So they love those things that make them laugh Are you close? Will you know the outcome? They did not see that we had done this before them How many communities were destroyed whose He had established his feet in the country in such a way that your feet should not be planted like this and on them It rained continuously from the sky and created canals which was flowing beneath their houses then They were destroyed for their sins, and After him you created another Ummah and O Prophet If we write something on you on paper He would send down the writing and he would give it to her with his own hands Even if we probe, the infidels will say the same they tell him that this is clearly magic and say Why did the angels descend upon these prophets nothing happened that would confirm this and if we Had an angel descended, the work would have been decided If it goes then they would not even be given a price If We had sent an angel, he would have been send it in the same condition and whatever doubt this has now let’s do that and put them in the sub There would have been laughter with the prophets even before you Then there are those people who used to laugh at them The punishment for laughing has surrounded them Walk around the country and see what happens What happened to those who are saying that the sky and Tell me Allah whose is everything on this earth That he has bestowed mercy upon his pure race He has taken you all on the Day of Judgment in which There is no doubt that those who he has put himself at a disadvantage they do not believe and those creatures who I live in everything, it’s all his and he listens Do you know what I can say except Allah help someone else that he is the one the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and He gives food to everyone and himself takes food from someone he does not take food also tell me that this is for me I have been ordered to be the first to obey and that O Prophet you are not among the polytheists Happen Also tell me that if I pray to my God If I disobey, I will have to face the punishment of a big day The person from whom there is fear of the punishment will be averted on that day Allah bestowed great favour upon him said and this is open success and if If Allah brings you any hardship then There is no one to remove it except him and if If someone bestows blessings and relief, then there is no one to stop him He is not the one who is capable of everything and he He is the master of his subjects and he is the taunter Beware, ask them who is the best among all Whose martyrdom is justice, tell me it is Allah There is witness in me and in you and in this Quran has been sent down upon me, that through this to you and to anyone it can reach Should I warn you all about this? Will you be martyred? you say that there are other gods along with Allah O Prophet, tell him that I will not be martyred in this way Say that He is the only God and I associate with those whom you associate I am tired of the people to whom I gave the book He describes him, our Prophet, in this way You recognize me the way you recognize your sons Those who put themselves at a loss they do not believe and that person Who is more unjust than the one who has committed a crime against Allah lied or rejected His verses or something There is no doubt that the cruel people will not succeed And the day when we will gather all the people then You will ask the Mushrik whether he is your partner today Where are those whom you claimed No profit will be made and some money will be left behind I will have no choice but to swear by Allah that He is our Lord; we did not associate partners with Him Look at the lies they told about themselves and Whatever they used to do, they all used to do it with them It kept going and among them the eagles are such that pays heed to what you say and We have drawn veils over their hearts So that they cannot be understood and it becomes a burden on the ears I have given it to you that I cannot hear it and if all this Even if you see the signs, still don’t believe in them Even when you have an argument with me When they come to do it, those who are infidels say This is nothing but Quran and only the first people There are stories that they prevent others from doing this too and they themselves stay away but these things they destroy themselves with this and this thing I wish you could see them at that time When they will be made to stand at the edge of Hell and They would say, oh I wish I could return to this world again be given so that the verses of our Lord may be followed Do not argue and become a believer, yes this is Some things used to be hidden earlier but now they are revealed and even if it is returned to the world then they were forbidden to do those things He started doing the same thing again, there is no doubt that he is a liar and they say that our world’s this is life, this is life and we don’t believe in it later you will not be brought back to life and I wish you Look at them when they are facing their God will be made to stand in front of him, what should he say If this being alive again isn’t a good thing then I’ll say Why not swear by our God? It is absolutely right, may Allah say that now there is no disbelief in return for the tortures that they used to inflict in the world Taste the joys of those who have faced Allah Those who thought that attending was a lie incurred a loss Even when the serpent of doom is present upon them If it happens, we will exclaim, woe to that negligence regret what we said about doomsday and He carries the burden of his deeds on his back Look at the burden they are bearing it is very bad and the life of this world is a There is a game and a very good house in the end It is the home of Allah, that is for those who fear Allah Don’t you understand that I know it Prophet that the words of these infidels will not tell you anything It delivers but it is not your expectation But the wrongdoers do it according to the verses of Allah They deny it and the Prophets before you too If lies keep coming and going then he remains patient with the pain and suffering We kept doing this even to the point where they had our help and no one could understand the words of Allah is not going to change and you have to follow the prophets The news of the report has reached you too Be patient and if their behavior becomes If you are going through a tragedy then if you have the strength Find a tunnel in the ground or the sky look for a ladder in the house, then they have no Bring a miracle and if Allah wills, everyone I would have submitted to your instruction, so you are absolutely naive The thing is that only the one who doesn’t want to be in it accepts the truth those who listen and the dead So Allah will raise up the Doomsday itself and then will go back to that side and say that on them a sign from their Lord Why did it not appear, tell me Allah He is capable of taking down the signs, but often People do not know and those who walk on the ground a beast or a flyer They are birds too, they are collected like you people We have kept it in the book i.e. Loh Mahfooz I did not neglect to write the thing and then everything will be submitted to their Lord, and Those who rejected Our verses or They are deaf and dumb and also in the dark Whoever Allah wishes is lying astray let it be and guide whomever you want to the right path Tell me you infidels, if you look at me May Allah’s wrath come or may the doomsday arrive So in such a situation do you worship anyone other than Allah? Will you call someone else if you are honest then tell me No, but in times of trouble you rely on him When you call out, you call out to him for the pain for which he is Yes, if he wanted he could have removed it and whomever you make partners at that time You forget them and we have done it before you Then he sent a message to many Ummahs Due to their disobedience we treat them strictly And keep holding on to the problems so that I can comfort myself So when Our punishment kept coming upon them, why I did not keep bothering him, but his heart They had become strict and the work they did was like devils in their eyes Arasco which was done to them was forgotten So we opened the doors to everything for them. Even when what they were given was enough for them When he became happy, we caught the snake and He was left dejected at that time, People’s roots were cut off and all the praise Allah Rabbul Alameen is only for these Tell the disbelievers that look well, if Allah take away your ears and eyes and your If you put a seal on the hearts, then there is no one except Allah Which god is it that gives you these blessings? Look at the ways in which we explain our verses still these people do it and make noise they go and say that tell me well if it is on you Allah’s punishment comes without any knowledge or with the news If later anyone comes, except the cruel people There will be more destruction and we who believe in the Prophets They keep sending it to give good news and scare Then whoever has faith and is a righteous man If we go then such people will have no fear and nor will those who have forgiven us be sad The verses believed that they were lying due to their disobedience They will be punished, tell them that I will tell you He does not say that I have the blessings of Allah There are treasures and I do not know anything about them And I don’t tell you that I am an angel I only follow the orders that Tell me it is coming from Allah Well if the blind and the sighted are equal then Then why don’t you pay attention and those who We fear that we will face our Lord will be produced before him and know that his He will have no friend except The one who intercedes for them through this Quran advise him so that he becomes pious and who People pray to their God in the morning and evening and they crave his attention Do not take out from yourself the account of their deeds The responsibility is nothing but on you and your They have no responsibility for accounting Don’t do this, if you throw them out then you will be cruel You will become like this and in the same way we have made people I have tested the hawk that those who are rich Are these the people who say this about the poor are those on whom Allah has bestowed His favour among us Is Allah aware of those who are thankful? No, and when such people come to you from those who believe in Our verses Say Salamun Aleikum your Lord has given you his It has been made obligatory to bestow mercy upon the pure race that Whoever of you does any evil out of ignorance, Do something and then repent after that and If a righteous act is done, He is the most forgiving We are Merciful and thus do We reveal Our verses they explain it openly so that you may comment on them act and so that the path of the sinners Let it become clear, O Prophet, tell the unbelievers that Whom do you call besides Allah? It is also said that their worship is forbidden Let me follow your wishes I will not do this, if I do this I will get misled And tell me not to be among the guided people that I am based on the bright evidence of my Lord I am and you are demanding that thing which means You are in a hurry to punish me, Only Allah does not have such an order He is in the power to state the truth and he is the best judge Tell me what you are in a hurry for yes if it were in my power I would The decision would have been made between you and me and Allah is well aware of the wrongdoer and his he has the keys to the unknown which no one else but him can know Nobody knows and he is kept in the forests and rivers that I have knowledge of everything and no leaf but he knows it and the ground In the darkness, some grains and some green or dry There is no thing but the books are written in light and that is the condition which makes you sleep at night I capture your soul and who keeps track of everything you do during the day then it lifts you up so that this Continuing the series, I am going to live the life Let it be completed then all of you will move towards Him You have to go back, then he will punish you for your deeds I will tell you one by one what you keep doing and He is powerful over his servants and over you He keeps a watchman posted, even when one of you dies Our angels take possession of his soul and then don’t do any negligence On the Day of Judgement all people will be without their Lord You will be called back to Allah, listen Behold, the order is His and He will do so very soon He is going to take account, tell me good things about you in the jungles and who brings us out from the darkness of the rivers while you are harassing her and secretly You call out and say if Allah grants us this If He frees us from hardship, we will be very grateful to Him I am going through this crisis, I will tell you that only Allah can help you in that crisis and yet there is salvation from every difficulty You commit shirk with him say that he On top of this, nature also maintains that you have the power of the higher authority. Punishment from the side or from beneath your feet send it or divide you into two groups and one by pitting one against another and fighting among themselves Let us give you a taste of our verses and see who we are explain it in such a way so that these people understand and Although your community rejected the Quran It is my absolute right to say that I am yours I am not a police inspector, there is a time for every news It is fixed and you may know it closely and when you see people who Talking nonsense about Our verses if you are then separate yourself from them, even if they get busy with other things and if this thing If the devil forgets you then when he remembers you Don’t sit with cruel people and stay away from them There was nothing on the garos according to those people. no accountability yes advice so that he too be pious and those who have They have made it a game and a spectacle and are trying to make the world Life has deceived them Don’t do any work, yes through this Quran Keep advising so that on the Day of Judgment no one I was not thrown into hell as a punishment for my deeds On that day, no one will be with him except Allah There will be no friend and no recommender, If everything that If he wants to give Rueda then he may not accept it These are the people who are confused about their deeds They were thrown into the hell so there was something for them to drink There is boiling water and a painful torment Because we used to disbelieve, tell me what we Call upon anything other than Allah which is not can do us neither good nor bad and when we So what if Allah has shown you the right path? If we turn back then our life will become like this It should be an example like someone was kidnapped by Jinns in the jungle I may have forgotten and he is surprised And he should have some friends who can show him the way Call him over to me and tell him that The path is the one shown by Allah And we have been commanded that we became obedient to Rabbul Alameen and also that you should keep praying and fear Him, and He is the one to whom you will be deposited, He is the one who created the skies and the earth has created from and the day when He will say that If you do, then the end will befall you, his wish it is true and the day the trumpet will be blown Only he will be the king, the hidden and the visible He knows everything and he is the one who is the source, beware and that time is also worth remembering when Ibrahim said to his father Azar, Do you make idols into gods? I am watching I believe that you and your community are openly misguided and in this manner we will send Ibrahim to the skies and began to show the unknown things about the earth so that he Be among those who believe strongly, that is, when The night covered them with darkness A star was seen in Dhapana and started saying this my lord when he disappeared They started saying that if I was going to disappear I don’t like it when I see the moon shining So he said, this is my God But when he too hid himself then he said that if My god doesn’t show me the straight path then I’ll be among those who I am wandering and then when I saw the sun shining He said, this is my Lord This is the greatest but when that too is a curse When I went there people started saying that the things which you You make partners with Allah, I am fed up with them I have united myself with everyone and dedicated myself to that on the caste side Mutjens And when his community started arguing with him He said, “You are asking me about Allah. what are you arguing about, he told me straight and the things you You make him a partner, I am not afraid of them yes whatever my god wants God protects everything with His knowledge don’t you care what have you done I am free from those things which you associate with Allah. Why should I be scared when you are afraid of this We are not afraid of associating partners with Allah be for which he has not sent any certificate now Which of the two factions is peaceful and fearless? deserves more if you understand Tell me those who believed and have protecting faith from the oppression of shirk I want to raise the standards, of course Your Lord is wise and aware, We bestowed upon them Isaac and Jacob, and He gave instructions and had also given instructions to Noah earlier And from their descendants were Dawood and Solomon and Ayub and Yusuf and Musa and Haroon and Thus do We reward the righteous And Zakaria and Yaya and Isa and Ilyas all these were of Neku and Ismail and Ali and Yunus and Lut too and all these people were blessed with the world where he had bestowed blessings on the people and The eagle is loved by his forefathers, children and brothers of me and I had also blessed them and This was Allah’s straight path There is guidance on this, whomever among His servants whether they drive it or not and if they commit shirk then who The deeds he used to do all go to waste, this is him There were people to whom we gave the Book and the rulings of the Shari’ah And he had given the prophethood if these disbelievers If they deny things then we have faith in them Such people have been appointed to bring that he is never going to deny it They are the people whom Allah has guided So you should follow their instructions Tell me that I don’t want anything from you I ask this for the people of the whole world It is merely an advice and these people have When I didn’t know the value the way I should have He said that Allah has bestowed upon a human being And I did not reveal any book or anything else Say: The book which Moses brought with him Who had sent down the light for the people And there was guidance and that which you gave separately some parts of it are copied on the rocks you reveal some and often hide some yes and you were taught those things which you should not know You knew it, nor did your forefathers know it. 2 This book was revealed by Allah Then leave them to their nonsense I kept playing and so did this book, which We have nailed Babcock and who can be more cruel than him who blame Allah or say that it is against me The same thing has come, although nothing has come on it and who says that the kind of book Allah has sent me down in the same way I will make it and I wish you would save these cruel people i.e. Look at the polytheists when the time of death You are engrossed in friends and their angels Are you extending your hand towards me to take out your life? Today you will be punished with the punishment of humiliation Because you used to lie about Allah And they used to rebel against His verses, and We created you for the first time Just like this you came to us today all alone and the wealth We had bestowed upon you He left it all behind and we I want your recommendations with me too you don’t see those for whom you care He was your intercessor and our partner Today all your relationships are ruined and all the claims you made Surely it is Allah who keeps on taking away the grain and the kernel He is the one who tears them up and grows trees etc. brings out the living from the lifeless and that is This is the one that will bring life out of the lifeless So Allah exists then where are you wandering The one who tears the morning light from the darkness of the night and it is he who gives rest to the moose at night. and the sun and the moon as a means of calculation made it the prerogative of Allah The style is Ghalib’s, knowledgeable and He is the one who made the stars for you so that in the darkness of the forests and rivers Learn from them the path for the wise We have explained Our verses clearly and it is He who has united you with a person I then created a place for you to stay place and a delivery to those who understand for We have explained Our verses clearly and it is that which comes from the sky It rains and then it is we who make it rain All kinds of vegetables are grown from it Then they take out all the vegetable plants from it and those plants that are connected to each other they extract grains and from the dates’ core hanging bunches and vineyards and Olives and pomegranates which resemble each other These things are there and they are not there when they come to fruition on their fruits and when they ripen Look at them ripening, among them there are those people for those who believe in the power of Allah There are many signs and these people have He associated the Jinns with Allah, although He created them too and they don’t understand the lie His sons and daughters stood waiting for him that he is concerned with those things which are stated in relation to him He is pure and we glorify him with these things Exalted is He, the Creator of the skies and the earth Where will his child come from when Not only his wife but he also gave birth to everything he has done it and he is safe from everything, this is the ausaaf Allah is your protector There is no god except Him, He is everything If there is a creator then worship him And He is the overseer of everything; he is such that Eyes cannot recognize him, while he He understands the glances and he differentiates The one who knows is aware, O Prophet tell them Give that you have the blessings of your Lord If illuminating arguments have reached from the side Whoever saw them with open eyes, did good for himself and the one who remained blind, did it in his favor You did wrong and I am not your guardian and in this manner We repeat Our verses they explain it so that the infidels may not say that You have learned these things from the book And so that we can be present for those who understand And do whatever your Lord commands His advocacy comes to you from the other side Have no god except the Almighty And turn your back on the polytheists, and if Allah Had they wanted, these people would not have committed shirk and Prophet, We have appointed you as guardian over them. I did not do it and neither are you their inspector and Those who believe in this Mushrik other than Allah do not say bad things to them that this too Don’t misunderstand Allah by being disrespectful Saying this, we have recorded the deeds of every Ummah then you have done well in their eyes Let them return to their Lord Then he will tell them what he is They used to do this and these people were under the influence of Allah They swear strictly that if they have any If a sign comes we will surely believe in it Give me because all the signs are with Allah only and momin what do you know about this So such unfortunate ones are they that they have signs Even if they come, they still do not have faith and we If we turn our hearts and eyes upside down then it will seem like I did not believe in this Quran for the first time We won’t bring them again and we’ll leave them be we keep on getting carried away in our arrogance and if we Even angels and dead people could be brought down by them. They would start chatting and we would share all the things with them. Even if you were to bring it in front of me, still this faith We were not going to bring it but Allah wanted it The thing is, it’s often naive and Like the devil we have created humans and jinns That deception had made every prophet an enemy to give each other the love in our hearts I used to keep posting things that I had said and if you If god wanted he wouldn’t have done this Leave them and whatever they desire two and he used to do such things also so that People do not have faith in the afterlife, their hearts Be trustful of their words and they like them and started doing the same work he used to do Say: Am I any other judge besides Allah? I should look for you though she has clearly pointed you towards me I have sent a fun book and those who to whom We have given the Book, the Torah, and to whom We know that this is from your Lord It has been revealed so you should never doubt it Do not be among the people and your Lord that the words are full of truth and justice No one is going to change his words and he he listens, he knows, and often the people who live on the ground But they are happy, they are misguided if you follow their words If you believe then he will show you the path of Allah we will forget this just by following pride and Your arrows are just speculation The Almighty knows best those who have strayed from his path and from him too Those who are walking on the path are well aware the thing on which the name of Allah is mentioned at the time of Jabaah if you had faith in His verses if yes then eat it and what is the reason Whatever the name of Allah is invoked on, Do not eat it, although it contains many things They have declared each one of them haram for you of course they shouldn’t be eaten but in that condition that they have enough food You become ignorant and many people misunderstand Understanding people from the desires of your self There is no doubt that such people are being misled which is beyond the limits set by Allah Your God goes away very quickly and knows every kind of visible and hidden Give an argument about crime to those who commit crime He will almost certainly be punished for his deeds and Anything on which Allah’s name is not taken Do not eat it because eating it is a sin and Satan People keep this thing in their Rafi’s hearts to pick a fight with you and if you If people follow their word then of course you will too Whoever was dead first became a polytheist, then We brought him to life and gave him light through which he could move among the people roams around somewhere, he could be like that person who Lying in the dark and having to get out of it Similarly, the infidels who are practicing it cannot He seems good to them and hence Like this we have arrested the biggest criminals in every locality gave him a chance to keep doing deceit in it and Those dishonest people who do this, their loss is who has it and are unaware of it and when they have When a verse comes, they say that the kind of Risalah was given to the Prophets of Allah when Until we get the same kind of blessing Never will we believe in this, only Allah I know very well what is the chance for a prophet And to whom should He bestow His prophethood who People commit crimes against them in the eyes of Allah You will be subjected to humiliation and the punishment will be severe, therefore that if someone used to be dishonest then Allah wants his chest to give instructions He opens the door to Islam and gives freedom to whomever he wants to mislead him, his chest is tight and suffocated It seems as if he is climbing to the sky This is how Allah is to those who have faith you do not bring it, he sends punishment and this is your There is a straight path to God for those who are careful We are going to reveal Our verses for them I have openly stated it for them In the reward of good deeds, there is safety in the hands of God is his house and he is his friend and the day He will gather all the jinns and say Oh planet Jinnat you have done much better than humans If you gain benefits then what is in humans If there are friends they will say that God we are one kept gaining benefits from others and ultimately You arrived on time for us I had decided, may Allah bless you now The place is hell, you will burn in it forever But whatever Allah wishes is surely yours The Almighty is wise and aware, and so is We punish the wrongdoers for their deeds, which they we used to do it, we will make each other closer Is the tribe of jinns and humans yours? No prophet from amongst you has come near I would recite my verses to you and by your presence on this day They used to scare us by saying that God I confess my crimes and those people The worldly life had deceived me And now he himself has given testimony on himself that O Prophet, these prophets kept coming, they used to disbelieve And the books kept getting revealed so that Your Lord is not such that destroy them with oppression and make them live there people should not know anything and everyone Balha deeds are fixed and the work which is done in this People do this, Allah is not unaware of them and Your Lord is independent, Sahib There is a mercy, if it wishes, then O my servant, I can destroy you Do it, and after you whoever you want Make me your successor just like you Something created from other people’s races There is no doubt that the promise made to you will It is about to be completed and you are grateful to Allah You can’t tell people that you are in your place be implemented i would be implemented in my place I am close to you, you will get to know that There is some doubt whose home will be heaven in the end not that the mushriks will not succeed and this People are the things created by Allah Allah has a special place in agriculture and cattle decide your share and take care of yourself They say to the false that this part is from Allah and this is about our Shari i.e. idols which the part that belongs to their bodies is cannot go towards Allah and the part which It belongs to Allah towards their bodies can it be possible that these people give bad orders Similarly, many mushriks have their own body i.e. The devils killed their children has done well to put so that they Throw them into hell and punish them with their religion let them do evil and if Allah wills he If you don’t do that then leave them to find out And their lies and their thoughts also say this it is forbidden to breed cattle and farm it is No one should eat except the person whom We love, and The hawks are such that it is easy to climb on their backs It is forbidden and the cattle are so on whom the name of Allah is not mentioned while answering All this is a lie to Allah and they are close to him he will avenge their lies and also says that the child which is in the womb of these cattle It’s only for our men and our It is forbidden for women to eat it, and if she If a child is dead, everybody is a part of it That means both men and women can eat it and eat it close by. Allah will punish them for their suggestion Surely, He is wise; beware of Jin People foolishly mislead their children and boasting in Allah, he killed him He declared the given livelihood as haraam He who has fallen into loss is misguided without any good deed, and There is no guidance and only Allah is there who created gardens topped with umbrellas and also those which are not mounted on umbrellas and date palms and crops that bear various kinds of fruits and the olive and the pomegranate which are one in every respect resemble each other and many other things I don’t even get to see them when these things flourish Eat their fruits and the day you pluck the fruits and start farming If you cut it, pay its dues from that as well do not fly in vain because Allah will make you fly in vain He does not keep friends with the people and is fond of cattle Those who carry the burden, that is, big ones are also born and attached to the ground, that is even small ones So eat of the sustenance provided by Allah, and destroy the devil don’t follow in the footsteps of yours it is open These big and small cattle are enemies of eight types of animals There are two sheep and two goats Out of these, one is male and one is female Prophet, ask them what has Allah done for both of them?

The “social media burner method” involves creating a new TikTok account and engaging with drop shipping-related content to get inspiration and product ideas for your own store from the algorithm.
Two key elements to validate a potential product are to check the product’s order volume to gauge demand and to review existing ratings and reviews to ensure it has good customer satisfaction.

The “irresistible offer” formula includes urgency and scarcity, selling the customers’ dreams/desires, and highlighting how the product solves a problem.

How can I find trending or potentially successful products for dropshipping?
Several methods can help you find good dropshipping products. The “social media burner method” involves creating a new social media account (e.g., TikTok) and engaging with content related to dropshipping. Social media algorithms will then show you trending products. You can also use Shopify apps like Zendrop to filter for winning products or use platforms like dropship.io to see which companies are currently making sales.

The number one thing is to make sure that there is a market, a hungry crowd, who need the product you are selling.
What are the key marketing strategies for dropshipping, and how do I use them effectively?

The second topic addresses the strained relationship between the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), highlighting that while a temporary ceasefire has occurred, deep-seated mistrust remains, fueled by the aggressive rhetoric of Maryam Nawaz and the fragility of the current coalition government led by Shehbaz Sharif. The speaker questions the political wisdom of the ongoing conflicts and considers the potential for further instability.
Pakistan Political Instability: Coalition Fragility and PTI Strategy
The discussion of political power shifts, according to the sources, revolves around two distinct, yet interconnected, areas of instability and strategic political maneuvering: the fragility of the federal coalition and a strategic shift in provincial leadership by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
I. Power Shift and Instability in the Federal Coalition
The primary shift in power dynamics at the federal level concerns the strained relationship between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), highlighting the precarious nature of the current government.
A. Dependence and Fragility:
The current government, led by Shehbaz Sharif, is dependent on the votes provided by the PPP.
Despite reports of a ceasefire, political conflict (“tanaaza”) between the PPP and PMLN is not completely over, and feelings of mistrust (“badtimaadi”) persist.
B. Causes of Internal Conflict:
A key factor driving this instability is the political conduct of Maryam Nawaz. Her “fiery shots” and subsequent actions by her social media team have been cited as the source of PPP’s frustration.
The PMLN’s behavior is considered politically immature, leading to personal attacks.
During a meeting in Nawab Shah, PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari and other leaders questioned PMLN representatives (including Isaac Dar and the Speaker) about the aggressive language and attacks directed toward the PPP.
The PPP has expressed great disappointment regarding these developments.
The sources suggest that this behavior is generating problems for Shehbaz Sharif, especially since the current federal government is considered “fragile”. If the PMLN continues its antagonistic approach, the PPP might look toward alternative political alignments, potentially including offers made by figures associated with the PTI, such as Asad Qaiser.
II. Strategic Provincial Power Shift by PTI
A major power shift has occurred in the provincial leadership, marked by the request for Ali Amin Gandapur’s resignation and the nomination of Sohail Afridi as the new leader. This move is considered a new strategic change (“nai tabdeeli”) for the future of PTI’s politics.
A. Reasons for Gandapur’s Removal:
The core reason for Gandapur’s removal appears linked to his stance on the Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) against militants.
Gandapur reportedly did not create hurdles (“roday nahi atkaye”) or difficulties for the state (“riyasat”) regarding the IBO, which suggests he was standing with the state on the matter.
Imran Khan may have wanted Gandapur to obstruct or prevent the IBO. Khan has suggested that the operation is an effort to eliminate PTI’s political power (“siyasi quwat”).
B. The Significance of Sohail Afridi’s Nomination:
Sohail Afridi’s nomination is highly significant, as he is the first person from the tribal belt (“qabail”) to be nominated for the position of Chief Minister in Pakistan’s history.
This nomination is linked to several ambitious political objectives designed to challenge the establishment and seek Imran Khan’s release.
C. Potential Objectives of the Shift:
The main goal is potentially to increase pressure for Imran Khan’s release.
Afridi might be expected to resist (“mujahamat”) the operations, specifically the intelligence-based operations.
There are possibilities (questions raised in the source) that Afridi could be used to unite the tribes (“qabail ko ikhatta karein”) and use them to challenge matters concerning the military (“fauj ke khilaf”).
The source suggests the goal might be to organize a march or an attack/raid on Islamabad (“Islamabad pe chadhai karein”).
D. Risks of the Power Shift:
Sohail Afridi faces multiple legal cases, some of which are nearing resolution, suggesting he might be used politically.
This political move is seen as initiating a major “political conflict” (“siyasi tanaza”) in a province already grappling with terrorism.
This conflict could be detrimental to PTI, as it provides the establishment a “golden opportunity” to influence groupings there and potentially seize the Chief Minister position from PTI’s control.
PTI Leadership Shift: Gandapur Out, Afridi In
The discussion of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership change focuses on the strategic removal of Ali Amin Gandapur and the nomination of Sohail Afridi, a move considered a “new change” (“nai tabdeeli”) for the future of PTI’s politics.
Reasons for Gandapur’s Removal
The primary reason identified for the request for Ali Amin Gandapur’s resignation relates to his handling of internal security matters, specifically the Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) against militants.
Cooperation with the State: Ali Amin Gandapur was perceived as standing with the state (“riyasat ke saath khade nazar aaye”) regarding the IBO.
Lack of Obstruction: He reportedly did not create hurdles (“roday nahi atkaye”) or difficulties (“mushkilat”) for the state concerning this operation.
Imran Khan’s Desired Stance: It is suggested that Imran Khan might have wished for Gandapur to obstruct or prevent the IBO. Khan has characterized the operation as an effort to eliminate PTI’s “political power” (“siyasi quwat”).
Significance and Strategy Behind Afridi’s Nomination
The selection of Sohail Afridi is seen as a highly strategic move designed to increase political pressure and resistance.
Historical Significance: Sohail Afridi, who hails from Khyber, is the first person from the tribal belt (“qabail”) in Pakistan’s history to be nominated for the Chief Minister position.
Expected Resistance: The main question surrounding his nomination is whether he will stop the operations. There is speculation that Afridi might be expected to offer “resistance” (“mujahamat”) to the intelligence-based operations.
Objectives for Khan’s Release: The ultimate goal of his nomination is potentially to increase pressure for the release of Imran Khan (“Imran Khan sahab ki rihai ke liye pressure badhana hai”).
Mobilization Strategy: Afridi could potentially be utilized to unite the tribes (“qabail ko ikhatta karein”). The source raises the possibility that he might use issues concerning the military (“fauj ke khilaf”) to organize a march or an attack/raid on Islamabad (“Islamabad pe chadhai karein”).
Procedural Status and Risks
The leadership change faces both procedural hurdles and significant political risks.
Resignation Status: As of the reporting time, Ali Amin Gandapur’s formal resignation had not yet been received by the Governor, Faisal Karim Kundi, although it was circulating on social media. If Afridi is successfully nominated, he would need to receive a vote of confidence (“etmaad ka vote”) in the Assembly.
Legal Challenges: Sohail Afridi faces numerous legal cases (“bahut saare cases bhi hain”), some of which are reportedly nearing judgment. There is concern that he is merely being “used” (“sirf istemal kiya ja raha hai”). If rulings go against him, this could trigger another “political drift”.
Political Conflict and Risk: This change initiates a major “political conflict” (“siyasi tanaza”) in a province already struggling with terrorism. The sources warn that this conflict gives the establishment a “golden opportunity” (“Golden Opportunity”) to influence various groupings and potentially seize the Chief Minister position from PTI’s control.
Pakistan Coalition Fragility: PMLN and PPP Conflict
The core issues facing the coalition government revolve around the fragility of the federal structure and persistent political conflict between its two major components, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
I. Fragility and Dependence of the Federal Government
The government led by Shehbaz Sharif is inherently unstable and is described as a “fragile Government”.
Reliance on PPP Votes: The current administration is reliant upon the votes provided by the Pakistan Peoples Party.
Political Immaturity: The antagonistic political conduct displayed by parts of the PMLN is considered politically immature, and this behavior is causing problems (“masail paida ho rahe hain”) for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Affordability of Conflict: The sources explicitly note that the fragile federal government “cannot afford” the current level of internal conflict (“tanaza”).
II. Causes of Internal Conflict and Mistrust
While a ceasefire (“ceasefire”) was reported, the conflict is not yet completely over, and feelings of “mistrust” (“badtimaadi”) remain between the PPP and PMLN.
Maryam Nawaz’s Political Conduct: The primary driver of the conflict is attributed to the “fiery shots” and subsequent actions of Maryam Nawaz and her social media team.
The Incident: The issue reportedly arose after PPP leader Bilawal Bhutto mentioned the distribution of aid via the Benazir Income Support Program. This led to the PMLN social media team reacting aggressively, which escalated into “personal attacks” (“zati hamle”).
Lack of Justification: During a subsequent meeting in Nawab Shah between PMLN representatives (including Isaac Dar and the Speaker) and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari, the PMLN representatives reportedly had no logic to defend their party and could not explain why “cannons were turned towards the Peoples Party”.
Lack of Guidance: The sources suggest that Maryam Nawaz may be operating without guidance, believing that only her own “Political Wisdom” (“Political Wisdom”) should prevail. It is noted that when things reach this stage, matters often break down instead of being fixed.
PPP’s Reaction: The Pakistan Peoples Party has expressed great disappointment (“bahut disappointment ka izhar”) regarding these developments.
III. Consequences and Potential Power Shifts
The sustained conflict poses serious risks to the future of the coalition government and could force a realignment of political power.
PMLN’s Antagonistic Approach: The PMLN’s behavior suggests they might believe they can rule alone by suppressing both the PTI and the PPP. However, the sources warn that this is “not possible” and that democracies do not function this way.
The October 18th Deadline: The PPP is expected to observe PMLN’s conduct until October 18th, when a CC meeting has been called.
Potential Realignment: If the antagonistic behavior continues, there is a possibility (“imkaanaat”) that the PPP might look toward other political options, potentially including offers made by PTI-associated figures like Asad Qaiser.
Establishment Neutrality: In the context of this specific conflict between the PMLN and PPP, the sources indicate that the establishment is “completely neutral” and appears to have no involvement.
PTI Leadership Conflict Over Intelligence Operations
The debate surrounding intelligence operations, specifically the Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) against militants, is central to the recent political developments within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-InsThe debate surrounding intelligence operations, specifically the Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) against militants, is central to the recent political developments within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and their strategic leadership change.
The core of the debate focuses on the stance taken by the provincial PTI leadership regarding these operations, and how that stance clashed with the wishes of Imran Khan, leading to the removal of the sitting Chief Minister.
I. The Conflict Over the Intelligence Based Operation (IBO)
The debate became highly politicized due to the actions and subsequent removal of former Chief Minister, Ali Amin Gandapur:
Gandapur’s Stance: Ali Amin Gandapur was seen as standing with the state (“riyasat ke saath khade nazar aaye”) concerning the Intelligence Based Operation. Based on the information he possessed or his view of the situation, he did not create “hurdles” (“roday nahi atkaye”) or “difficulties” (“mushkilat”) for the state regarding the IBO.
Imran Khan’s Desired Stance: The source suggests that Gandapur’s cooperation displeased Imran Khan. Khan potentially desired Gandapur to obstruct or prevent the IBO.
Khan’s Justification for Opposition: Imran Khan has publicly claimed that the operation is an effort to eliminate PTI’s “political power” (“siyasi quwat”).
II. Politicizing the Operations and Casualties
Imran Khan has further fueled the debate by politicizing the casualties resulting from these security operations, framing them as a consequence of military policy rather than terrorism:
Shifting Blame: Khan suggested that the soldiers who are being martyred (“shohda jawan”) are being killed due to the “policy” of the military.
Avoiding Condemnation: Khan noted that those criticizing the operations are not offering condemnation (“muzaamat”) of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and suggested that if they want sympathy for the soldiers, they should first condemn the TTP.
Disturbing Factor: This narrative is identified as a “very disturbing factor” because Khan is effectively imputing responsibility for the deaths of soldiers onto the military (“fauj pe dal rahe hain”) instead of blaming Tehrik-i-Taliban or other militants (referred to as fitna khwarij). The intent behind this messaging—where he is creating a divide and conveying a specific message—is considered “very clear”.
III. The Strategic Shift: Expected Resistance from Sohail Afridi
The nomination of Sohail Afridi as the new Chief Minister is intrinsically linked to the expectation that he will adopt a position of resistance (“mujahamat”) against the intelligence operations.
The Key Question: The central question raised is whether the new Chief Minister, Sohail Afridi, “will stop the operation”.
Seeking Guidance: Some voices within PTI suggest that Afridi, despite being a young person and a first-time Chief Minister, would provide “guidance” (“rehnnumai”) on how to conduct, or not conduct, the intelligence-based operations and other actions.
Potential Objectives: The possible, intended outcomes of Afridi’s leadership—particularly his expected resistance—include increasing pressure for the release of Imran Khan and potentially using the tribal people (“qabail”) to organize a march or attack on Islamabad.
IV. Conflicting Perspectives on Security and Politics
The debate highlights a fundamental conflict between focusing on security and pursuing political goals:
Security First: The point is raised that when terrorists (“Dahshatgardon”) are being fought and militants (TTP and fitna khwarij) are being killed, Khan’s assertion that the operation is intended to end PTI’s political power is questionable (“kya sawal hai”).
Political Risk: This political maneuver introduces a major “political conflict” (“siyasi tanaza”) into a province that is already struggling with terrorism (“dahshatgardi ka samna kar raha hai”). This internal strife creates a “golden opportunity” for the establishment to intervene and potentially cause PTI to lose the Chief Minister position.
Pakistan Coalition Crisis: PMLN and PPP Tensions
The tensions between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) are a critical issue for the current administration, as they threaten the stability of the federal coalition.
I. Fragility of the Federal Coalition
The federal government, led by, as they threaten the stability of the federal coalition.
I. Fragility of the Federal Coalition
The federal government, led by Shehbaz Sharif, is described as a “fragile Government”.
Dependence on PPP: The government stands upon the votes provided by the PPP.
Inability to Afford Conflict: The current level of political conflict (“tanaza”) between the two parties, which has escalated beyond mere complaints (“shikwe”), cannot be afforded by the fragile Federal Government.
Problems for the Prime Minister: The behavior of the PMLN leadership is creating problems (“masail paida ho rahe hain”) for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
II. Causes and Persistence of Conflict
While reports indicated a “ceasefire” (“ceasefire”), the political conflict is not entirely over. Feelings of “mistrust” (“badtimaadi”) still exist between the PPP and PMLN.
A. Actions of Maryam Nawaz and PMLN Team:
The primary cause of the conflict is attributed to the “fiery shots” of Maryam Nawaz.
The situation began after Bilawal Bhutto mentioned the distribution of aid through the Benazir Income Support Program in Southern Punjab.
The subsequent reaction by Maryam Nawaz and her social media team was considered an overreaction, leading to an aggressive social media campaign and “personal attacks” (“zati hamle”).
This political conduct demonstrated a lack of “political maturity”.
B. The Nawab Shah Meeting:
A crucial meeting took place in Nawab Shah, where PMLN representatives, including Isaac Dar and the Speaker, met with PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari.
According to sources, the PMLN representatives had “no logic” to defend their party.
Zardari reportedly asked why the “cannons were turned towards the Peoples Party” when the PPP had not said anything to warrant such an attack. The PMLN representatives offered no response.
C. Lack of Guidance and PPP Disappointment:
It appears that Maryam Nawaz is operating without guidance, believing that only her “Political Wisdom” (“Political Wisdom”) should prevail. The sources suggest that when matters reach this stage, they tend to break down rather than improve.
The PPP expressed “great disappointment” (“bahut disappointment ka izhar”) regarding these developments.
III. Consequences and Potential for Political Realignment
The continuing tensions raise serious questions about the future of the coalition and the potential for a power shift:
PMLN’s Attitude: The PMLN’s behavior, including the “apologetic attitude” of Dar, suggests they might believe they can rule alone by suppressing both the PTI and the PPP, but this is deemed impossible as democracies do not function this way.
Observation Period: The PPP will observe the conduct of the PMLN until October 18th, when a CC meeting has been called to discuss the situation.
Threat of Realignment: If the antagonistic approach continues, there is a possibility (“imkaanaat”) that the PPP could look towards alternative political options, potentially accepting offers made by PTI-affiliated figures like Asad Qaiser.
Establishment Neutrality: In the context of this specific conflict between PMLN and PPP, the intelligence is that the establishment is “completely neutral” and has no involvement in the tensions.

दिनों के बाद आपसे मुलाकात हो रही है और एक शॉर्ट ट्रिप था चंद दिनों का एक स्मॉल ग्रुप ऑफ जर्नलिस्ट के साथ ब्रल्स जाने का मौका मिला वहां पे बहुत सारी मीटिंग्स एंड ब्रीफिंग्स हुई जिस पे इंशाल्लाह हम आपको बताएंगे लेकिन जो आज का हमारा मौजू है वो जाहिर है कि जो इस वक्त पाकिस्तान की सियासत है दो चीजें बहुत पिछले कुछ दिनों से जो है वो मंजरे आम पर आई हैं और एक तो कल की जो डेवलपमेंट है अली अमीन गन्नापुर को इस्तीफे का कहा जाना और उसके बाद फिर सोहेल अफरीदी की नामजदगी तो इस पे आपने बहुत सुना होगा लेकिन अली अमीन गणापुर को जाना क्यों पड़ा यह बहुत अहम है और सोहेल अफरीदी को बनाना क्यों पड़ा यह भी बहुत अहम है या सोहेल अफरीदी ही क्यों नामजद किए गए हैं यह भी बहुत अहम है इमरान खान क्या सोच रहे हैं किस तरह से आगे बढ़ना चाहते हैं क्यों इसको एक नई तब्दीली का नाम दिया जा रहा है वैसे तो जब भी तब्दीली की बात हुई है तो पाकिस्तान को जो है वो आपने देखा ही है कि तब्दीली के नाम पर क्या हुआ लेकिन असल बात ये है कि ये जो तब्दीली हुई है इसका क्या ताल्लुक पाकिस्तान तहरीक इंसाफ की सियासत के मुस्तकबिल पे होगा तो पहली बात तो ये है कि जो आखिरी इतलात है जब तक मैं आपसे बात कर रही हूं अभी तक फैसल करीम कुंडी साहब जो गवर्नर है वो ये कह रहे हैं कि उनको इस्तीफा मौसूल नहीं हुआ एक यानी जो इस्तीफा था वह सोशल मीडिया पे तो सर्कुलेट कर रहा है लेकिन उसका एक फॉर्मल तरीका होता है एक गवर्नर को लिख के भेजना होता है कि आपने वो मुस्ताफी हुए हैं फिर गवर्नर उसको जो है वो मंजूर कर लेते हैं और फिर उसके बाद जो है वो मामलात आगे बढ़ते हैं असेंबली कॉल होती है उसमें नामजद जो शख्स होता है उसको वोट लेना पड़ता है उसको एतमाद का वोट लेना पड़ता है और यूं फिर बात आगे बढ़ती है तो मेरा ख्याल है कि सबसे बड़ी बात तो ये है कि इस वक्त तक ये जो मामलात हैं ये बहुत आगे की तरफ जा रहे हैं दूसरा हमारा जो इस पे मैं मजीद आपको मजीद तफसील से बताती हूं लेकिन दूसरा मौजू कल रात को नवाब शाह में एक बड़ी अहम मीटिंग हुई है उसके नतीजे के ऊपर बहुत सी वैसे तो खबरें चली कि सीज फायर हो गया है लेकिन सीज फायर एस सच नहीं हुआ है कुछ मामलात अभी भी बदतमादी के पाकिस्तान पीपल्स पार्टी और पीएमएलएन के बीच में हैं और उसकी वजह जो है वो मोहतरमा मरियम नवाज साहिबा के जो फायरी किस्म के शॉट्स हैं वो उसको को गर्दाना जा रहा है यह बात यूं शुरू हुई थी कि बिलावल साहब जो हैं वह वहां पे गए थे और बिलावल भुट्टो अह जूबी पंजाब में उन्होंने मरियम नवाज की गुफ्तगू यानी उनके जो काम है उसकी कारकरदगी की तारीफ भी की लेकिन उसमें साथ ही उन्होंने बिस्म यानी बेनजीर इनकम सपोर्ट प्रोग्राम की जरिए से इमदाद की तकसीम जो है उसके हवाले से बात की ये बात इतनी नहीं है कि जो जिसके ऊपर पीएमएलएन और मरियम नवाज और उनकी जो टीम है वो गुस्से में आती और सोशल मीडिया पे ऊपर कैंपेन चलती ये बात जो है वो इसलिए अहम हुई कि जो हमारे जराय बताते हैं कि पाकिस्तान जो बिलावल भुट्टो साहब थे उन्होंने वहीं से प्राइम मिनिस्टर के साथ भी राब्ता किया और उन्होंने अपनी प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में भी बताया कि प्राइम मिनिस्टर से उनकी बात हुई है और प्राइम मिनिस्टर को उन्होंने कहा है कि वो इस तरह के जो उनके मुतालबे हैं उनके ऊपर बात करें और कुछ पे प्राइम मिनिस्टर ने फौरन जो हमारी इत्तलात है उस पे उन्होंने बहुत अच्छा रिसोंड भी उसको किया लेकिन ये बात जो थी ये मरियम नवाज साहिबा को नागवार गुजरी और उसके बाद फिर उनकी की जो सोशल मीडिया टीम है वो इस तरह से उन्होंने रिएक्ट करना शुरू कर दिया हमारा बहुत एतराम है मरियम साहिबा के लिए भी और उसमा बुखारी साहिबा के लिए भी लेकिन जिस तरह से इस मामले को लिया गया मेरा ख्याल है कि इसमें एक बहुत पॉलिटिकल जिसे कहना चाहिए माज़रत के साथ मैच्योरिटी नजर नहीं आई और जिस तरह से फिर जाती हमले भी किए गए और पीएमएलएन की जो पूरी सोशल मीडिया टीम है इससे पहले रजी दादा साहब हमारे वो भी एक सीनियर कोलीग हैं उनके साथ उनके मामले के ऊपर भी ठीक है वो मामला जो भी था लेकिन क्या एक वजीरआला को का स्टेप इन करना और फिर उसके ऊपर इस तरह का स्टेटमेंट देना और फिर उसके बाद वजीर आला साहिबा ने सिर्फ ये नहीं कहा बल्कि उसके बाद उन्होंने कहा मेरा पानी मेरी मर्जी और बहुत सारी और बातें हुई तो कल जो मीटिंग हुई सदर जरदारी के साथ उनके इसाक डार साहब भी गए स्पीकर साहब भी गए बाकी लोग भी गए जो हमारी इत्तलात है वो यह हैं कि स्पीकर साहब के पास और डार साहब के पास कोई लॉजिक नहीं थी डिफेंड करने की अपनी जमात को और जरदाई साहब ने भी जो हमारे जराय बता रहे हैं कि उन्होंने भी उनसे यह पूछा कि भई बताया तो जाए कि पीपल्स पार्टी ने ऐसा क्या कहा है कि जिसके बाद तोपों का रुख जो है वो पीपल्स पार्टी की तरफ हो गया है तो इसका भी कोई जवाब उनके पास नहीं था ऐसे लगता है कि पाकिस्तान मुस्लिम लीग नवाज में मरियम नवाज साहिबा को समझाने वाला और उनको इस वक्त जो है उनको गाइड करने वाला वो खुद ही यानी वो गाइडेंस चाहती भी शायद नहीं है वो इस जगह पे पहुंच गई है कि जहां पे वो सिर्फ और सिर्फ समझती है कि उनकी जो पॉलिटिकल विज़डम है बस वही प्रिवेल करेगी और वही बेहतरीन है तो मेरा ख्याल है जब इस स्टेज पे चीजें आ जाए तो चीजें बनती नहीं है बिगड़ती है पाकिस्तान पीपल्स पार्टी ने बहुत डिसपॉइंटमेंट का इज़हार भी किया है जो हमारे जराय बता रहे हैं और ये भी याद रहे कि ये हुकूमत जो शबाज शरीफ साहब की है वो पीपल्स पार्टी के वोटों पे के ऊपर खड़ी है तो यह शबाज शरीफ साहब के लिए मसाइल पैदा हो रहे हैं यह जो डार साहब वहां पे जाके एक माज़रत खाना उनका जो रवैया था और उन्होंने बड़ेपन का सबूत भी दिया मगर ये उनको बार-बार जो है वो दीवार की तरफ लगा के एक तरह से उनको एक एंबरेसिंग पोजीशन पे ले जाया गया तो मेरा ख्याल है ये रवैया मरियम नवाज साहिबा को भी देखना चाहिए और उनकी जमात को भी देखना चाहिए कि इस तरह से मामलात आगे नहीं बढ़ते होते जब आप खुद एक फ्रेजाइल गवर्नमेंट के अंदर हैं और आपकी पूरी जो आप एलआई जो हैं उनके ऊपर भरोसा किए हुए हैं तो कम से कम एक बेहतरीन आप तनकीद करें अगर उन्होंने पॉलिसीज के ऊपर जो कि अपोजिशन नहीं है ना वहां पे पंजाब के अंदर अगर वो कुछ सजेस्ट कर रहे हैं तो आप उसको ओपन हार्टेडली उसको ले आप उसको खुले दिल के साथ तस्लीम करें क्या आप ये समझते हैं कि पीटीआई के को भी दबाके और पी पीपल्स पार्टी को भी दबा के आप अकेले जो है वो रूल करना चाहते हैं तो ये बहुत ये ऐसे मुमकिन नहीं होता और जम्हूरियतें ऐसे नहीं चलती खैर जमूरियत तो खुद एक बहुत बड़ा सवाल है लेकिन ये मेरा ख्याल है कि इस रवैया के हवाले से जो है वो बात करना बड़ी जरूरी है और अगर ऐसे ही रहा तो पीपल्स पार्टी को आप यानी सीज फायर तो हुआ है वक्त तौर पर लेकिन सीज फायर मरियम नवाज साहिबा को कौन करेगा कौन कहेगा कि वो सीज फायर करें मरियम साहिबा तो मेरा नहीं ख्याल के उन किसी की बात सुनती हैं तो अगर वो किसी की बात नहीं सुनती है तो डार साहब और प्राइम मिनिस्टर की बात वो कैसे सुनेंगी और वो किस तरह से जो बंदूकों का रुख उन्होंने किया हुआ है पीपल्स पार्टी की तरफ उसको कैसे करेंगी खत्म करेंगी कारकरदगी पे सवाल हो सकता है यानी आप ये कह सकते हैं अच्छा आपने सिंध की कारकरदगी पे सवाल उठाना है और सिंध आपकी पंजाब की कारकरदगी पे सवाल उठाएगा लेकिन इसमें जो जातियात है उसका असर अगर आप पीटीआई पर तनकीद करते हैं तो पीएमएलएन को भी देखना पड़ेगा कि उसके अंदर जो है वो कहां पे खड़ी है इस वक्त और उनकी जो ट्रोलिंग टीम्स हैं वो वो किस तरह से काम करती हैं वो अनफॉर्चूनेटली अगर आप मुकाबला कर रहे हैं किसी एक जमात की ट्रोलिंग टीम का यानी पीटीआई की ट्रोलिंग का तो मेरा ख्याल है कि आप फिर उसी लेवल पे चले जाएंगे और फिर आप इसी तरह से नाराजगियां पैदा करेंगे जिस तरह से पीटीआई ने पैदा की हुई है तो एनीवेज ये एक था ये हालात अभी सीजफाई जरूर हुआ है इनके बीच में पीपल्स पार्टी और पीएमएलएन के बीच में और लेकिन यह मुकम्मल खत्म नहीं हुआ और कल जो बात हुई है उसमें भी हमारी इत्तलात यही है कि सदर साहब ने भी यही कहा है कि भाई हमने अगर कुछ किया है ऐसा तो हमें बताया जाए कि हमने ऐसा क्या किया है ऐसी कौन सी ऐसी बड़ी बात हुई कि जिसके बाद जो है वो इस तरह की जुबान और इस तरह के हमले जो है वो पीपल्स पार्टी पे किए गए हैं तो ये एक खबर थी जो कि हमने आपके साथ शेयर करनी है 18 अक्टूबर को सीसी का इजलास जो है वो तलब किया गया है और जाहिर है कि उसमें ये सारे मामलात भी देखने करेंगे यूं समझिए कि 18 अक्टूबर तक पीपल्स पार्टी देखेगी कि पीएमएलएन जो है वो किस तरह से आगे चल रही है और अगर उन्होंने ना किया तो जिस तरह से पीपल्स पार्टी को ऑफर की है असद कैसर साहब ने हो सकता है कि वो कहीं उस तरफ भी जा सकते हैं इस बात के भी इमकानात है और जाहिर है कि हमारी इत्तलात ये है कि मोहसिन अकवी साहब जो गए थे तो शायद ये शबा था कि कुछ कंसर्न्स जो है वो सदर साहब को या पीपल्स पार्टी को जो है वो एस्टैब्लिशमेंट के साथ भी है लेकिन इस मामले के अंदर जो हमारी इत्तला इस्टैब्लिशमेंट जो है वो बिल्कुल न्यूट्रल है और उसका उसका कोई ताल्लुक जो है वो इस पूरे मामले के ऊपर नजर नहीं आता बहरहाल पीएमएलएन के जो शिकवे हैं वो उन्होंने अपने शिकवों से ज्यादा आगे बढ़ गए हैं वो शिकवे हो सकते थे मगर अब वो शिकवे से ज्यादा तनाजे में की शक्ल इख्तियार कर गए जो कि जाहिर है कि एक जो फ्रिजाइल गवर्नमेंट है फेडरल गवर्नमेंट वो अफोर्ड नहीं कर सकती है दूसरी तरफ अगर आप देखें के ये जो मामला हुआ है अली अमीन गंडापुर साहब वाला ये मामला गो के अब तक तो बहुत स्मूथ है कि उन्होंने सर तस्लीम खम किया अली अमीन गंडापुर साहब ने और ये कहा कि हम जो है वो मैं इस्तीफा देता हूं और मेरी अमानत है और वापस करता हूं लेकिन इस्तीफा अभी तक गवर्नर के पास पहुंचा नहीं चले पहुंच जाएगा हो सकता है पहुंच जाए लेकिन सोहेल अफरीदी साहब जो हैं उनका इंतखाब क्यों अमल में आया एक तो इमरान खान साहब जो थे वो ऑपरेशन असल जो वजह नजर आती है जो कि कल शेख वकास अकरम साहब ने वसीम बादामी के प्रोग्राम में भी कहा है क्या देखते हैं कि क्या नया वज़रआला ऑपरेशन बंद करा देगा तो मेरे ख्याल है यही सबसे बड़ा सवाल है ऑपरेशन के मामले के ऊपर या जो इंटेलिजेंस बेस्ड ऑपरेशन था उसके ऊपर जो अली अमीन गंडापुर साहब थे वो रियासत के साथ खड़े नजर आए क्योंकि जाहिर है उनके पास जो इंफॉर्मेशन थी या वो जिस तरह से देख रहे थे मामलात को उसके को मद्देनजर रखते हुए वो इस इंटेलिजेंस बेस्ड ऑपरेशन में उन्होंने कोई ज्यादा रोड़े नहीं अटकाए उन्होंने कोई मुश्किलात रियासत के लिए पैदा नहीं की और शायद यही वो वजह है कि इमरान खान साहब को यह बात बुरी लगी कि इमरान खान साहब शायद ये चाहते होंगे कि वो ऑपरेशन जो है वो ना करने दें इंटेलिजेंस बेस्ड ऑपरेशन भी ना करने दें कल उन्होंने जो ट्वीट किया उसमें ये कहा कि हमारे जो शोहदा जवान शहीद हो रहे हैं आपने तो आप तो टीटीपी की मुजम्मत उस तरह से आप तो करते ही नहीं मुजम्मत टीटीपी की आप एक दफा टीटीपी की मुजम्मत करके दिखाएं फिर आप जवानों के साथ हमदर्दी भी कर लें तो बात ये है कि उनको हटाने के लिए तो उन्होंने ये जरूर कहा है एक एक मौकफ इख्तियार किया उसके भी मल्टी डाइमेंशनल इसके जो है वो असरात है यानी वो जवानों की शहादत की जिम्मेदारी भी वो फौज पे डाल रहे हैं और वो कह रहे हैं कि ये जवान आपकी पॉलिसी की वजह से जो है वो मारे जा रहे हैं शहीद हो रहे हैं और इसका कोई इल्जाम जो है वो तहरीक तालिबान या फितना ख्वारिज के ऊपर नहीं लगा रहे हैं तो ये एक बहुत ही डिस्टर्बिंग फैक्टर है और जाहिर है कि ये इससे वो कहां डिवाइड पैदा कर रहे हैं वो क्या मैसेज कन्व कर रहे हैं ये बहुत वाज़ है और दूसरी तरफ जो है वो कल कोर कमांडर्स कॉन्फ्रेंस भी हुई थी जिसमें उन्होंने सियासी गठजोड़ की बात की है वो भी बहुत अहम है और वो अगर इस तनाजुर में आप जोड़ के देखें तो आपको बात समझ में आ सकती है फिर वो ये कहते हैं कि ये ऑपरेशन जो है वो हमारी सियासी कुत को खत्म करने के लिए है भाई जब दहशतगर्दों के खिलाफ मुकाबला हो रहा है उनके और मारे भी फितना अल खारिज के लोग जा रहे हैं कोलटरल डैमेज की भी कुछ इत्तलात आई हैं अगर ज्यादा जो है वो तो ये टीटीपी के लोग मारे जा रहे हैं तो अगर उनको मारा जा रहा है तो आपकी सियासी कुत का क्या सवाल है ये मेरा ख्याल है कि एक बहुत समझने वाली बात है इसके ऊपर मैं तफसील में नहीं जाऊंगी मैं बहुत दफा बात की है मैंने इसके ऊपर लेकिन टीटीपी की आपकी सियासी कुत के साथ क्या ताल्लुक है ये एक सवाल जरूर है जिसके ऊपर मेरा ख्याल है आपको कोई दानिश्वर बात करता हुआ दिखाई नहीं देगा हमने पहले भी बात की थी हम अभी भी बात कर रहे हैं मगर आपको और कोई दिखाई नहीं देगा इस पूरे रीजन की जो लड़ाई है इस लड़ाई के अंदर जहां तक मामलात पहुंचे हुए हैं ये इसमें बहुत बड़ा एक नुक्ता है अब अली अमीन गंडापुर साहब जो है वो हटा दिए गए हैं हो सकता है कि अब ऑपरेशन सोहेल अफरीदी साहब जो है उसके उसको मना करें और कल सलमान अकरम राजा जैसे शख्सियत को मैं सुन रही थी वो कह रहे थे कि रहनुमाई उनसे लें यानी सोहेल अफरीदी साहब जो एक यंग शख्स हैं वो आएंगे पहली दफा वज़रआला बनेंगे और वो रहनुमाई देंगे कि किस तरह से ऑपरेशन करना है और किस तरह से जो है वो कारवाईयां करनी चाहिए या नहीं करनी चाहिए वो तो है ही इसके खिलाफ इंटेलिजेंस बेस्ड ऑपरेशंस के खिलाफ पहली बार है सोहेल अफरीदी साहब का बनाया जाना कि किसी कबाइल की शख्सियत को कबीले में से किसी एक शख्स को जो है वो पाकिस्तान की तारीख में यहां पे जो है वो बनाया गया है खैबर से उनका ताल्लुक है और क्या होगा क्या ऐसा हो सकता है कि आगे जाके वो कबाइल को इकट्ठा करें और इस्लामाबाद पे चढ़ाई करें यह इस बात के इमकानात मौजूद है क्या मैं सिर्फ सवाल पूछ रही हूं आप इसमें से खुद नुक्ता ढूंढ लेते हैं कि उनको लगाने का मकसद क्या है कि इमरान खान साहब की रिहाई के लिए प्रेशर बढ़ाना है इसी तरह से कबाइल को इकट्ठा करना है वहां पे फौज के खिलाफ जो भी मामलात हैं उनको इस्तेमाल करते हुए चढ़ाई इस्लामाबाद पे करनी है इससे बहुत सारे उनके जो मकासिद हैं वो हल हो सकते हैं लेकिन क्या फिर भी इमरान खान साहब रिहा हो जाएंगे ये एक बहुत अहम सवाल है लेकिन यह जो मामला है कि किस बुनियाद के ऊपर आप यानी सोहेल अफरीदी साहब जो हैं वह मजाहमत करेंगे तो किस तरह करेंगे एक वज़रआला अगर वह बन जाते हैं अवल तो अभी बहुत बड़ा सवाल है कि वो बन पाएंगे कि नहीं क्योंकि अपोजिशन ने इसके ऊपर अपने भी सर जोड़ लिए और 22 लोगों के नंबर का मसला है और 22 लोग जो हैं वो इस्टैब्लिशमेंट के पास वो अली अमीन गंडापुर साहब कहते हैं कि पड़े हुए हैं कुछ उनके जो हलफनामे हैं तो अगर ऐसा होता है अगर वो बन भी जाते हैं तो क्या वो मुजाहमत करेंगे और मुजाहमत करेंगे तो क्या वो लोगों को इकट्ठा करके के यानी कबाइल को इस्तेमाल करेंगे क्या वो इस्लामाबाद के ऊपर चढ़ाई करेंगे क्या इस तरह से इमरान खान साहब रिहा हो जाएंगे यह बहुत सारे सवालात हैं और इन्हीं सवालात के जवाब ढूंढने से आपको पता चल जाएगा कि सोहेल अफरीदी साहब जो हैं उनको क्यों मुंतखिब किया गया उनके ऊपर बहुत सारे केसेस भी हैं और उनके ऊपर कुछ केसेस के कहा जा रहा है कि फैसले भी होने हैं तो क्या उनको सिर्फ इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है और अगर उनके खिलाफ फैसले हो गए तो एक और पॉलिटिकल ड्रिफ्ट जो है वो शुरू हो जाएगी यानी एक सूबा जो पहले से ही दहशतगर्दी का सामना कर रहा है एक वहां पे जो मामलात हैं उसमें आपने एक ऐसा पॉलिटिकल तनाजा शुरू कर देना है या कर दिया है जो कि किसी सूरत भी तहरीक इंसाफ को तो खैर फायदा क्या होगा उसका वो शायद इमरान खान साहब को भी इस तरह फायदा ना दे सके और साथ ही साथ आपने इस्टैब्लिशमेंट को भी एक गोल्डन ओपोरर्चुनिटी दे दी है कि वो वहां पे अपनी जो अपने तमाम ग्रुपिंग करवा के या जो भी अपने लोगों को उसका असर रुसूख इस्तेमाल करके वहां पे वज़ारते आला इनके हाथ से भी जा सकती है तो यह किस किस्म की पॉलिटिकल मूव है मेरा ख़्याल है कि यह एक बहुत अहम नुक्ता है और मेरा ख्याल है इसी के ऊपर पाकिस्तान तहरीक-ए-इंसाफ के अंदर फिलहाल तो सब एक जगह नजर आ रहे हैं मगर आगे जाके इस पे इख़लाफात भी सामने आ सकते हैं तो यह गुजारिशात थी अब तक के लिए इतना ही अपना ख्याल रखिएगा अल्लाह ने
