It would mean a lot if you encourage her by publishing her poem which is on our mother....

Dear Editor,

This is my first letter to any magazine. I am a regular reader of Us magazine since past few months. The article in 31 July issue, ‘Skill development - the only way forward’ by Faisal Ansar inspired me, and that is why I really want to commend it. He depicted that we need actions instead of just sitting and talking about the bad scenario in Pakistan we have. What he suggested to combat unemployment is a perfect solution. We certainly need vocational education in our country.

Hi Ed,

I really enjoy reading your magazine, especially the stories. ‘Violet vipers’ by Saniyyah Eman and ‘Hackschool Project’ by Iqra Asad are my favourite. I also enjoy ‘Comic Relief’ and ‘Trust Us’ sections; the jokes are always amazing and funny.

I have written a long story and I want to send it to you. Please tell me about the procedure. Also, I like taking pictures and would be very happy if you publish them. Ed, my nine-year-old sister sent her poem to you, but you did not publish it. It would mean a lot if you encourage her by publishing her poem which is on our mother.

You can send us a couple of episodes at us.mag@thenews.com.pk, and we will get back to you. We got the poem but although it’s cute it is not suitable for the age group we cater to. Hope you understand! And, we don’t run pictures on back cover anymore, as we had some copy rights issues.

Reflection

Narrated Abu Musa (R.A):

The Prophet (S.A.W) said, “My example and the example of what I have been sent with is that of a man who came to some people and said, ‘O people! I have seen the enemy's army with my own eyes, and I am the naked warner; so protect yourselves!’ Then a group of his people obeyed him and fled at night proceeding stealthily till they were safe, while another group of them disbelieved him and stayed at their places till morning when the army came upon them, and killed and ruined them completely So this is the example of that person who obeys me and follows what I have brought (the Quran and the Sunna), and the example of the one who disobeys me and disbelieves the truth I have brought.”
