In times of gloom and despair comes a story that will surely bring a smile to your face! One man was graced by the Almighty and performed the ‘Tawaaf’ of the Holy Ka’abah all alone, without a crowd beside him. He was by himself, and he was able to complete the tawaaf with the utmost peace due to the COVID-19 restrictions. What a lucky man indeed!
Source: Al Jazeera
The man is said to have had a dream of performing the tawaaf alone 20 years ago when he had gone for Hajj. He had the dream in Masjid Al Khaif, Mina; it was then interpreted by a scholar, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Rumi. The scholar told the man that one day he would make a tawaaf of the Ka’abah all alone.
He had wondered, “How is that possible, how can the whole of tawaaf stop only for me?”
The dream was interpreted in the presence of many other scholars, and many doubted that this could ever be possible. As the years passed, it seemed like a far-fetched idea to others. However, after 20 years, Coronavirus restrictions have helped make this beautiful dream come to life and led to this lucky man being able to make a tawaaf of the Holy Kaaba all alone!
Watch this awe-Inspiring video of this man making a tawaaf of the Holy Ka’abah all alone!
This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Saudi Arabia has not allowed anyone to visit to perform Umrah, the decision for Hajj is still pending. Due to this, the population visiting the Ka’abah is the bare minimum. The authorities have also cordoned off most of the areas.
This inspiring story was shared by a scholar and the man’s friends, Sheikh Ahmad Al-Khudayr, who has narrated this beautiful story. He mentioned the entire story of how his friend had a dream 20 years back while performing Hajj.
هذا هو صاحب الرؤيا التي تحققت بعد ٢٠ سنة .
رآها وهو في مسجد الخيف بمنى أثناء الحج، وكان تأويل الرؤيا بحضور ثلة من المشايخ .

Waqar Younis is a well-known name in Pakistan, especially if you are a cricket fanatic!
Recently, the Pakistani cricket coach, commentator, and former cricketer who captained the national team came under fire on social media.
Younis was caught liking an obscene video on his Twitter account. However, he claims that his account was hacked, and it wasn’t him who did this.
He posted a clarification video, using the same handle under question. Now the matter is that if his account was hacked, why didn’t the hacked change the password? Moreover, why did the hacker target him?
Younis claimed that it was an extremely shameful and painful experience for him and his family.
Continuing his explanation, Waqar Younis said that he had thought that Twitter is a great platform to interact with acquaintances and the people one knows.
Today I have to say with great regret that when I woke up this morning, someone hacked my Twitter account and liked grossly inferior videos from my account.
So it is a matter of great shame, it is a matter of great regret and discomfort. For me and my family too. I used to think that social media or Twitter is a way of interacting with people.
But unfortunately, this man ruined everything. By the way, the hacker has not done this for the first time.
I have had an account hack three or four times. I do not think this man is going to stop, so I have decided that I will not come on social media after today.
I love my family more. You will not see me on social media after today. I am sorry if this hurts anyone,” he added.
In conclusion, he shared that the ‘Allah ka banda’ won’t stop hacking his Twitter profile and presumably and inexplicably liking adult videos from it. Hence, he has decided to get off social media and never use Twitter again!

While some made fun of the retired cricketer, others supported his story of being hacked!
It might hurt a lot of people to see the rangeen side of this man in green! But we should listen to the other side of the story. There are many ways to watch porn and Twitter is not one of them. Could have been a hack. #waqaryounispic.twitter.com/TZcFL6oc9H
A man from Lahore finally finds bodies of the family from Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Airbus A320 that crashed into a residential neighborhood of Karachi last Friday. The crash killed 107 people on board, including passengers and staff.
Flight PK8303, from the eastern city of Lahore, came down less than a mile short of the runway as it was making a second attempt to land.
Arif Iqbal Faruqi, who lost four family members, including his wife and three children, posted on Facebook on 23rd May that he has yet to identify two more kids.
I’m going to be burying my Darling Fauzia Arjumand and Enaya (My Coco-Puff) today and I soo miss them. Still trying to…
He was having trouble in identifying the bodies due to the authorities not cooperating with him. He said in a Facebook post that he recognized his wife and daughter by jewelry, bands, and bracelets they were wearing. However, his small son and daughter were missing as the DNA test was flawed.
“If I hadn’t identified my wife and daughter… They would have handed over someone else! My little Ellie and firstborn Son Eshmael are still missing!! Where is the PM of Pakistan!”
Identified my wife & Daughter by jewelry, bands and bracelets they were wearing. My SOn & small daughter are missing…
He had appealed to Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, to help him identify his remaining deceased kids. He urges citizens not to trust PIA anymore.
Appa is still looking for you my Jaan and eshloo… Soon you will be with mum and yayan 😓😪😭
Thank you to Dr. Khurram, the Head of Punjab Forensic and DNA, as well as his team along with Mr. Nasir Siddique AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO MR. Syed Akhsheed Hussain, who made this happen. Love you, bro!

May 29th 2020: As reported by CBNC, Google will be paying its employees $1000. The payment will be made to buy equipment to WFH, while individual employees will return to the office.
The news was announced by Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, on Tuesday. The announcement also revealed Google’s plans to kick start its operations from coming month.
Image Source/ BBC News
The offices will slowly reopen on June 6th, but only 10% of employees will be coming in and will rotate as required. The percentage will work up to 30% later in September.
The move sets an excellent example for other businesses as the world’s most highly valued company is attempting to come back amid coronavirus, which has killed more than 360,000 people worldwide. The virus has taken its toll on Google’s parent alphabets business.
“This will give Googlers who need to come back to the office — or, capacity permitting, who want to come back — the opportunity to return on a limited, rotating basis (think: one day every couple of weeks, so roughly 10 percent building occupancy),” Pichai wrote in the email, which was published on a Google blog.
Google has also been preparing to take the necessary precautions to keep their employees safe. “We’ll have rigorous health and safety measures in place to ensure social distancing and sanitization guidelines are followed, so the office will look and feel different than when you left.”

May 9th 2020: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced employees to work from home as countries have taken lockdown measures to curb the spread of the virus. Social media giants, Facebook and Google, have now announced the extension of Work from home policies for their employees throughout the rest of the year 2020.

A spokesperson for Facebook stated,
“Facebook has taken the next step in its return to work philosophy. Today, we announced anyone who can do their Work remotely could choose to do so through the end of the year. As you can imagine, this is an evolving situation as employees and their families make important decisions re rFcebooeturn to work.”
The social media platform was the first tech firm that asked its employees to begin working from home. Facebook is amongst the very few companies that gave its employees a bonus of $1,000 for their work-from-home and childcare costs.

Today we let our team know they have flexibility to work from home (or anywhere) through the end of 2020. My personal opinions about WFH have been turned upside down over the past 2 months. I expect this will have a lasting influence on the future of work … and home. Stay safe.

Pakistani Footballer, Hajra Khan, posted a picture of her Eid outfit, and the internet couldn’t handle her choice of clothing.
It is not for the first time that female celebs or known personalities have donned a shalwar kameez in Pakistan. This fashion has been trending for quite some time now.
Many on Instagram felt like it was too masculine of Khan. Specific ‘tradition’ should be left as it is. However, Khan firmly had a different opinion.
She feels one should wear what they are most comfortable in. She brought forward the notion on her Instagram that, “Clothes Have No Gender.”
“Any clothing we could choose to wear is going to be inevitably gendered. We should not have to live in a world where people have to justify how they feel,” she said.
The footballer added, “Having a concept of gender-neutral clothing is important because it allows everyone to feel comfortable in their own bodies.”

She got furious and said, “When a fool utters all kinds of insults against you on social media without even knowing you, or without any worthwhile reason or provocation, usually they are merely sad. They’re pathetic attention-seeking trolls who we should all feel sorry for. They don’t deserve your anger, they deserve your pity.”

Giving two scents of her knowledge, she said,” Athletic wear has always been gender-neutral. And I will keep choosing to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable in my own skin. We need to normalize gender-neutral fashion.”
She wrapped it up with a quote by James Baldwin, “Everyone deserves to feel free and beautiful without judgment. And like James Baldwin said, “Took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I had been taught about myself and halfway believed before I could walk around this earth like I had the right to be here.”
“I have the right, you have the right, we ALL have the right,” she concluded.
You go, girl! What do you think about gender-neutral outfits?

You’ve undoubtedly experienced the annoyance of coming across a dazzling night scene, only to find that your camera can’t recreate it exactly as it appears in front of you. Low-light photography has always been challenging for smartphone cameras, as insufficient lighting brings negative effects on image rendering. There are capable devices, of course – but they’re hefty SLR cameras that must be used in conjunction with a tripod, or expensive phones that cost a proverbial arm and a leg.
The newly-unveiled HUAWEI Nova 7i represents something different, however, by challenging the status quo with its powerful, inventive camera technologies. Night photography is now accessible to all, rather than an exclusive realm of the highly-skilled, or the highly-priced.
The Nova 7i features five AI-powered cameras that generate pristine images at every touch of the shutter. The rear 48MP Quad AI setup includes a 48MP ultra-HD sensor, 120° ultra-wide angle camera, macro lens and depth sensor together in an avant-garde design. A 16MP front camera renders every shot in high resolution, with vivid, authentic colors.
The 48MP main sensor for the rear camera system boasts extraordinary imaging capabilities, with its ultra-large 1/2-inch sensor size and wide f/1.8 aperture. In darker settings, an in-house “4-in-1 pixel fusion” technology automatically kicks in to ensure much higher photosensitivity, therefore guaranteeing first-rate performance despite of the unsatisfactory lighting.
The Nova 7i also allows you to shoot at night without a tripod, thanks to the Huawei-exclusive Super Night Mode, realized through the collaboration between blistering processing from Kirin 810 chipset and state-of-the-art AI algorithms. Basically, with a press of the shutter multiple pictures will be taken during the long exposure that lasts from 2 to 6 seconds, and they will be intelligently synthesized to create one final sharp, stunning, noise-free image. You may even be able to capture the starry night just as how your eyes perceive it!
The phone’s 16MP front camera can also utilize “4-in-1 pixel fusion”, a customized Super Night Selfie Mode and AI to achieve 2μm-equivalent levels of photosensitivity. Therefore, your selfies are comprehensively optimized even in unfavorably-lit surroundings, with your facial features presented in captivating lifelike depth, natural lighting effects, optimal brightness and clarity. While over- or under-exposure is common in many selfie photos, none can be found in the picture below (taken with nova 7i).
The HUAWEI Nova 7i is a wonderful companion in exploring the night’s beauty. Lengthy photography sessions aren’t a problem either, with a 4200 mAh battery that keeps the phone powered for a full day, and 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge technology that fills it to 70% in just 30 minutes even if it is dying (which doesn’t happen a lot). When you need to install any of your favorite apps, such as the social media ones, so that you can share your proud photography works with friends and families, you can easily do so on Huawei’s own app-service platform, AppGallery, or any other third-party app store.
And as if all that wasn’t enough, the phone costs PKR 43,999/- only! There’s no need to wait for dawn to fall. You can pick up a HUAWEI Nova 7i at any time, and enjoy night photography that dazzles and reveals.
The number of coronavirus cases is increasing rapidly across the country. Due to the growing number, only nine beds are available in high-dependency units at Karachi’s ten public and private hospitals treating such patients. On Wednesday, Sindh Health Department officials said that 61 ventilators are available at these facilities.
The officials further said that despite the availability of 61 ventilators, not every patient can be put on life support because only those requiring artificial breathing need that. They also noted that there is hardly any space left at COVID-19 treatment facilities in the public and private sectors.

The good news is that the federal government has agreed to do so, he added. However, there are a few things that are pending.

This Eid ul Fitr was unlike any other we’ve experienced, with social distancing and self isolations in place. We missed out on so many fun Eid experiences that are the true embodiment of the joyous festival. However, people seemed to forget about the ongoing pandemic during the Eid holidays.
The markets were buzzing with people on ‘Chaand Raat’! Mosques were full for Eid prayers, SOP’s ignored, and people gathered with their friends and family!

The consequences of the negligence by some? A higher increase in the number of COVID cases in the country. Pakistan has now entered the top 20 countries with the most Covid-19 cases in the world, ranking at number 18.
There was a jump of 2164 cases on May 24th, 2020, which was the first day of Eid in the country, coincidence?
Here’s a roundup of what exactly went wrong during the Eid holidays:
Eid Gatherings
People did not follow the stay home rule and mingled with friends, family, and their loved ones during Eid. Grand dinners and lunches were held, where people did not care to maintain any distance between each other or wear protective masks either.
Seen below celebrities Minaal Khan, Saboor Aly, Omayr Waqar, Kinza Hashmi, and Make-up artist Sara spotted together on Eid. They forgot they were supposed to be social distancing.

2. Ignorance of SOP’s by Shopkeepers
Shopkeepers and all those who went out for Eid shopping did not follow the government provided SOP. To battle the economic downfall, the shops were opened but were strictly asked to maintain distance between customers, keep sanitizing the area, wear masks, and gloves. However, only a few stores were seen following these rules.

3. Eid Shopping at its fullest!
People were coming out in large numbers just after the lockdown was eased. There was chaos in the local ‘bazaars.’ Not only were none of the SOP’s being followed, but families were out shopping with their children, elders and in huge numbers!

Smartphone applications play a massive part in reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic. These apps are used to track infected people, issue rules for self-quarantine, provide the citizens with the latest communication, and lessen the pressure on healthcare professionals.
The apps are downloaded by millions of people all over the world, from South Korea to Poland. The European Union intends to launch its application and has issued guidelines for it.
Moreover, the two Silicon Valley tech giants, Apple and Google, have also partnered up to develop an app that will aid healthcare organizations.
Furthermore, a COVID-19 touch tracing software that uses the Apple-Google platform is now piloted by Switzerland.

The app, SwissCovid, is the first in the world to put the Apple-Google model to use, according to Swiss university EPFL.
SwissCovid will use Bluetooth to exchange keys between phones. If a user tests positive for SARS-CoV-2, they can inform the app, which will alert other users if they were nearby (less than two meters) to the infected person for a prolonged period (more than 15 minutes).
The first to test the Swiss app will be employees at EPFL, ETH Zurich, the Army, and selected hospitals and government agencies. This pilot process will last a couple of weeks. Whereas, The
Swiss parliament needs to update the epidemics law to allow the app to be released nationally by mid-June.
Last week, Apple and Google made their contact tracking technologies available to public health agencies. This is also compatible with apps running iOS 13.5, and Android 6.0 and above. The model uses a “decentralized” approach, where primary operations are conducted on the phones of users, not in a centralized system.
The method is intended to help protect the privacy of users, and according to EPHL, two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology led the decentralized “DP3 T” protocol.
“This gives great responsibility to the Swiss testers, as many other countries intend to adopt the same protocol later on,” said project manager Alfredo Sanchez.
Furthermore, “this digital tracing will not replace protective measures, but it is the best way to control the evolution of the epidemic,” said Alain Berset, Federal Councillor at the Swiss Department of Interior.
Should the app work as desired, it would undoubtedly be a cause for celebration for the many societies under strict lockdown protocols. It could also prove quite embarrassing for the government, which elected for a centralized data model, contrary to expert advice, some of which are facing teething problems.

One of Pakistan’s finest actors Nadia Jamil has been battling cancer for a long time. The actress is in the UK for her treatment and is going through chemotherapy.

She’s shared a heartfelt post on the day she shaved of her beautiful locks,
“My hair had been falling in huge clumps regardless of the ice cap. The centre had practically gone. I was left w the front & a little on the sides. It was petrifying. That night I washed & conditioned it sobbing, w rose smelling shampoo. I knew this was goodbye 2 a part of my self I had hid behind 4 years. My hair, like many of us,had been my vanity, the face I wanted 2 show the outside world.”
The hospital staff at Addenbrooks in the UK who have been taking great care of Nadia were the ones who shaved her head for her. Nadia then shared a video of the process on her social media accounts.
Jamil is as strong and brave as ever! Here’s what she has to say on her new self:
“I like the new me… Surviving the pain is such a victory … Every day is a victory …I know tomorrow will be awful with the nausea and fatigue…but then there will be another victory. Sometimes something small like finishing a meal or having water is a victory.”
Nadia has received an outpour of love and encouragement from many people in the industry including, Mahira Khan, Asim Raza and others. Her fans and followers have also been with her throughout this difficult time constantly supporting her.
It is heart warming to see that the actress par excellence is loved by one and all even across the border. Jitesh Pillai sends out his warm wishes to Nadia!
One of the main reasons Netflix is so popular is because of its simplicity. It’s painfully easy to queue up a movie on your laptop, video game console, or mobile device and start watching in mere seconds. But that simply means there are a lot of features to Netflix that the average customer may not be using.

Here, we’ve rounded up some useful tips to help you get the most out of Netflix:
1. Put an end to buffering
Buffering time is the scourge of bingers everywhere. How can one be expected to navigate Mad Men’s dark themes and dramatic buildups, if the horrors of excessive loading snarl the climax?
There are some workarounds here, but they only work for watching on a computer: while playing a title, hold down Shift+Opt (Shift+Alt for Windows) and left click to open up a “hidden” menu (called the Stream Manager) with buffering fixes and other streaming options. If you are using Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt/Opt+S to access this menu. If you’re streaming on Wii, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3 use the directional pad click up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, up, up, up, up.
2. Use a blocker to access the shows of Netflix outside Pakistan
Did you know in other countries’ Netflixes has movies and TV shows that aren’t included in our Pakistani version? You can watch all of the episodes of Modern Family if you wish to pay for Media Hint, which will trick the site into thinking you are in another country, granting you access to hundreds of new titles. Although, considering the unblocker has landed in some hot water recently over security issues. Unblock at your own risk.
3. Watch at odd hours for better quality
One way to improve your video quality is streaming during off-peak hours (like early in the morning, late at night, etc.), according to sources. During the study, they found video quality and speed improved significantly during hours when fewer people were logged into the site binging.

4. Customize your subtitles
You can adjust the default Netflix subtitles to change color, size, font, and more – based on your preferences, and what fits the title you’re viewing. All you need to do is go to Your Account > Your Profile > Subtitle Appearance and prepare to soak up all that rich culture.
5. Use Netflix Party
If you’re in a long-distance relationship and waiting to finish Homeland until you and your significant other are reunited, then the Netflix party is a great alternative to do that.
Netflix Party allows for full-screen viewing, and anybody in the session can hit pause, play, or scrub through the timeline. The stream adjusts seamlessly.
The biggest downside to Netflix Party is that if you want to watch a few episodes of something or another movie, you’ll have to create a new session every time. Even if Netflix autoplay to the next episode, it will kick everyone out of the course, and you’ll have to send out a new link to everyone.

Time and time again, we have brought you the best-performing, the most-affordable, and some of the best looking cars!
And this time around, we’ve decided to bring to you the worst possible sports cars some of the world’s top manufacturers have ever made!
Between their lineup of luxury, sports, and supercars, the three musketeers have not always succeeded in impressing their fans and consumers.
So without further delays, let’s take a look at some of the worst luxury sports cars:
1. Audi R8 V8
Credits: Honest John
You have to admit, so do we, the first-gen R8 is an all-time favorite. However, the reality is something very different. Reportedly, the first iteration wasn’t flawless! It was plagued with a numb driving feel, and drives faced severe issues with the frame cracking.
2. Audi TT MK1
Credits: Drive-My
This was the first-ever Audi TT to hit the streets and flunk! It used the same platform as one of the worse generations, VW Golf. Moreover, news coverage related to crashes and a massive recall due to its high-speed tarnished the sports car’s reputation.
3. BMW M235i Gran Coupe

Sadly, the BMW M235i Gran Coupe was only made to fill a hole in the market, and that’s all that it ever became.
4. BMW I8

The BMW i8 is a one-of-its-kind beauty, but it also sports many weaknesses. Looks can’t get you everything, sometimes performance also matters, well, most of the time.
5. Mercedes-Benz CLA AMG 45

The CLA was Mercedes-Benz’s attempt to create a second luxury entry that would be affordable to the masses. It ended up being the complete opposite with little to none focus on luxury and more emphasis on cheap quality!
Since we have named 2 Audi and 2 BMWs, we thought why not add another BMW to the list as a bonus!
6. Mercedes-Benz SL R107

At the time, the R107 generation SL Mercedes was not very well received in the markets. Let’s just say it was not a pretty sight to look at and pretty much sucked in performance too.
Have any more luxury sports cars in mind that you want to have added to this list?
