  It’s true – Kashmir is really beautiful.

  It is the sheer excitement of landing in Kashmir – a place where I always feel peace, The people over h are so warm. One thing about them I love the most is their love for Kashmir. They are proud to be Kashmiri and can never get over the beauty of Kashmir.The people of Kashmir are popularly known as Kashmiris. Most of the Kashmiris are Muslims
                    Kashmiris love dance and music, and marriages, festivals and other occasions provide them the opportunities to enjoy themselves

   

  Freedom in chains

   

   

  

   

  Hazrat Umer Farooq says,” Man was born free, but why you have kept him in chains of slavery?” Freedom has been the watchword and rallying point in Kashmir for many decades. Certainly it is not everybody’s privilege to sing the song of freedom. Only those hearts throb for it that actually see the claws of oppression in a human society and have courage to speak for the welfare of mankind. A freedom loving heart is full of affection for humanity and is always ready to take risks for the freedom of the suffering people.
  The people of Kashmir have been facing traumatic conditions under despots for centuries

  
  
  

  

  
  
  
  Islam considers freedom to be a natural right of the human being. Life becomes devoid of worth when freedom is not present. When a person loses his freedom, his inner self dies, even though on the outside, he continues to live; eating, drinking, working, and going through the other motions of life.
   
  Islam elevates freedom to such a level that it has made free thought the proper way of recognizing God’s existence.  God says:
   
  {There is no compulsion in religion. Guidance is clear from error.}
   
  The verse negates the use of compulsion in religion because religious belief is the mightiest thing that a human possesses. This makes it quite clear that compulsion is not tolerated in any other matter. It is also clear that the human being is independent in what she possesses and does without being subjected to the will of anyone else. The individual has free will and free choice
