The saying of our Beloved Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) is that backbiting is as that one eats the flesh of his/her dead brother. So, it shows that how greater sin is to speak against one’s absence. But unfortunately, it has became our common practice to frequently pass negative comments and remain ignorant that we are committing one of the greatest sins “backbiting”. Just recall our conversation among our social, family or official gatherings. Someone, just put a question to carry on the conversation “how is Mr./Miss XYZ, its long time to see him/her” so, this question is like the short pitched ball and now everyone will try to pull that ball for six. All the members will consider their duty to give some comments about that absent person and unfortunately most of the comments will be against him.
The continuity of this practice is injecting the abhorrence against each other and now we need make up of falsehood to conversation, we have to show that we are loyal sincere and loving with the other fellow but on the actual grounds we don’t have positive feelings. The reason is again same “backbiting “, which is responsible of this falsehood and the true feelings, true positive likings have been abolished.
If somebody commits crime like robbery or fraud he will get some money or other economic benefits so, his crime has some justifications but the question arises what we gain and what are the benefits to passing such negative comments? Why we enjoy recalling someone’s negative practices? I don’t know the answer. Perhaps, we have devil inside and we do such practices just to feed him but it is the only justification or the only safe side for our evil deeds that it was Satan who tempted us for sin. We put all our misdeeds on Satan’s shoulders and say very innocently that it was he (Satan) who forced us. I want to share a joke with you that once a person committed some wrong and when some asked him why you did it? He replied it was Satan who tempted him to do so, suddenly Satan appears there and explain that the sin was not even in his (Satan) mind and he is just blaming him (Satan).
Again come to topic that we should discourage this practice (backbiting) and if we can’t stop him (backbiters), at least we should not encourage them to do it. Shakespeare’s widely quoted quotation (“GIVE EVERY MAN THY EAR BUT FEW THY VOICE”) from his play “Hamlet” also giving indications that we should try our best to avoid making unnecessary comments. Its intellectual practice to listen more and speak less, in this way we continuously remain in learning process. For example, we are conversing with some intellectual, teacher or elder; definitely we will get something from his words. But if we talking with a fool then too we get some lesion from our meeting. It would be habit of foolish person that he will speak absurd, repeat his talks again and again or will speak against somebody. Definitely, we will feel irritation and on the other hand he is giving us lesson to avoid the practice what he is doing i.e. speak absurd, repeat talks again and again or speak against somebody. It means there is lesson for us even we are talking with fool.
In the end, we should be more practical and less theoretical. A wise person always weighs his words before utterance, it’s the key of success.

Competition among the Cell Phones and Service Providers
Communication was never as easy as it is in present era. It would not be wrong to say that for the last ten years belonged to the promotion of Cell Phones and Cellular Companies. Now, majority of our population is enjoying the services of more than one (Networks) service providers.
On the other hand there is a great competition between the Cell Phone manufacturer companies and (Networks) the service provider companies. Each day we see the arrival of new cell phone in the market, some are increasing the camera results, graphics, sound quality and others are working to increase the Battery timings, memory, speakers and microphone. In short, Major companies are working hard to reach and stay at the top in the market.
The competition is much tough between the service provider companies. They talk about the coverage and attractive packages of free minutes and free SMS. As the result, users are using more than one network. If one wants to make a long calls he will first change his sim, again when he is willing to send SMS he will rechange his sim. So, this practice is going on.
It is being said that whenever there is a competition between the companies user will gets the benefit. But as far as the above mention competitions (between the Cell Phone Manufacturer Companies and Service Providers Networks) is concerned, though, the apparently the customer/user is getting benefits but actually customers/users are in loss. Suppose you purchase a cell phone which has all the updated features. Next day or within few days, new features will be introduced in the market and the resale valve of your Cell Phone will move down up to 40%. Cell Phones are at the top as far as the lowest resale value is concerned. Everybody wishes to purchase the cell phone with the updated available features in the market. So, he has to sale his present cell and replace with the new arrival. This is the loss of money on the customer end but the major loss is due to the competition between service provider companies. They are offering the free minutes and free SMS Packages and our young generation is going mad to achieve these offers. So, if a person gets 500 free SMS just in 3 rupees and the validity of this offer is just one day. Now, he will try hard to consume 500/500 SMS per day. And if he achieved this target, he will consider himself a lucky person but actually he just wasted his time. And furthermore 90% of his SMS will be absurd, may be vulgar jokes or its another form. Another practice is also going on that someone sends the Ahadees Mubarka (Holy Saying of Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him)) and in the end there we find that if you deliver this SMS to 10 or 20 people you will be rewarded and in other case you will find some lose. First of all these type of Ahadees Mubaraks are not authentic and specially the conditions to must forward the SMS is not justified in any case. In short, there will be hardly 2% of SMS is really necessary to send; containing some information.
So, if we have a glance in our past, people had much time for their families. They sit together and share their routine matters. And our villages were typically representative of such gatherings. Just imagine that all the mature members of a family are sitting, chatting and discussing their matters, sharing with each others, their children are also playing under their presence and it was the positive consumption of their time.
But now the table has been turned due to these latest Free minutes and Free SMS Offers. The senior members of the family sit alone and on the other hand young generation seems busy with their cell phones. Even in meetings, social gatherings, and parties they pay no heed to the conversation of the person physically present there but actually remain busy in chatting on their cell phones. All the time their fingers keep on moving over the cell phone, (for typing text messages) and they just node their heads to show that they are listening other’s conversation. So, the physical presence is not important now but another community has been came into exist which should be called the wireless community.
Furthermore, the common use of mobile among the teenagers is also playing a very vital role to increase the plight of our society. It is very easy to privately contact with the opposite sex and talk with them for hours and hours. Now it’s the obligation of our government to pay attention over this very serious issue and ban the unlimited free SMSs and free minutes. Though, it may be positive in some special cases but 90% of these offers have negative role.
