Assalam alaikum. My question is related to Pakistani residency and naturalisation laws. I am an English Muslim, I converted to Islam 10 years ago. I am also educated to bachelors degree level. My wife is a Pakistani citizen. We live in London with our three children. I would like my children to maintain links with Pakistan for Islamic, cultural and language reasons. Is is possible for me to obtain Pakistani citizenship by virtue of being married to a Pakistani woman? I heard that the rules are different for foreign husbands, please could you confirm this? What procedure should I follow? Should I apply first, then make an application on my children's behalf? Thank you.
Personal information to be withheld.

ASsalam.
Allah was kind when you became Muslim. I assure you that you would
definitely get Pakistani citizenship if you come to Pakistan and apply to
the Ministry of Interior for citizenship. Your motives are laudable. Being
English, you are eligible and qualified to become Pakistani; more so being a
Husband of a Pakistani woman. You can simultaneously apply for your and your
children's nationality and I am confident that Government of Pakistan would
grant you citizenship after processing your applications. May Allah bless
you and your family.

Muslim scientists and scholars have contributed immensely to human knowledge especially in the period between 8th and 14th century CE. However, their contributions have been largely ignored, forgotten or have gone un-acknowledged.
I would like to share my few collections through CP. So, people can read fascinating accounts of some of the most talented Muslim scholars in history whose contributions have left lasting marks in the annals of science, astronomy, medicine, surgery, engineering and philosophy.

When trying to choose a cholesterol lowering diet, there are many options you must keep in mind. With heart disease being one of the number one killers in the world, it’s important that people monitor their cholesterol with the help of a health professional. For those individuals who are unfortunate enough to have high cholesterol, it’s important to find a diet to help lower your numbers.
Cholesterol and Your Diet
When trying to decide on a cholesterol lowering diet, many people have found soy products to be very effective. By making soy protein a regular and sizeable part of your diet, you are allowing your body to lower its cholesterol naturally. Soy protein has been proven to help your body lower its cholesterol, and it also has wonderful anti-cancer benefits as well.
Another way to lower you cholesterol is by eating plenty of fiber. Diets rich in fiber help your body to pass fat before it’s even absorbed. The absorbing quality of fiber helps lower your cholesterol safely and naturally. Those in search of a cholesterol lowering diet should consider adding plenty of soy and fiber.
Managing your weight is also key in lowering high cholesterol levels. Many people choose diet pills or other healthy weight loss methods to help manage cholesterol. People with lower weights tend to have healthier eating habits, and that in turn keeps cholesterol at safe levels. Even if you have low weight, be sure to have your cholesterol monitored by a health professional.

Ruan - Still the Super Star!
(CP - Correspondent Ras H. Siddiqui San Francisco) Whether you are from Pakistan or Bangladesh, which one of us is not familiar with Runa Laila? Who does not remember that cherubic young girl in bell bottoms and the jacket with “Oh No” printed on the back lighting up the Zia Mohyeddin Show in the 1970’s? Runa with that melodious voice who brought female Bengali and Urdu Pop to Pakistan and could sing a difficult Ghazal in almost the same breath to the delight of the classical oriented. And now the Runa that has recorded well over 5000 songs in three South Asian countries and far beyond and in more languages (17 Plus at last count?) then one can remember. One never knows what Runa Laila will perform next because it somehow appears that she has done it all. But now back to the show.

Tips for Lips
By Alia Naureen, Riyadh 

Ever wanted to wish upon a star? Well, you have 70,000 million million million to choose from. That's the total number of stars in the known universe, according to a study by Australian astronomers. It's also about 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world's beaches and deserts. The figure -- 7 followed by 22 zeros or, more accurately, 70 sextillion -- was calculated by a team of stargazers based at the Australian National University. Speaking at the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union meeting in Sydney, Dr Simon Driver said the number was drawn up based on a survey of one strip of sky, rather than trying to count every individual star. The team used two of the world's most powerful telescopes, one at the Anglo-Australian Observatory in northern New South Wales state and one in the Canary Islands, to carry out their survey. Within the strip of sky some 10,000 galaxies were pinpointed and detailed measurements of their brightness taken to calculate how many stars they contained.

Ever Tried our regular quiz offering so many prizes?

BOURN, England (Reuters) - In a scene once unimaginable, 1,000 test tube children met on Saturday to celebrate the 25th birthday of the world's first IVF baby and the anniversary of the revolutionary fertility treatment. Since Louise Brown was born on July 25, 1978, more than a million babies worldwide have been conceived through in-vitro fertilization (IVF). One thousand balloons were released into the sky over the Bourn Hall Clinic in rural eastern England as IVF children and their parents sang Happy Birthday, chatted or danced on the sprawling lawns. Professor Bob Edwards, who pioneered the technique, described the day as a celebration of success. "We had concepts we thought would work and they did," he told a press conference, flanked by Brown and Alastair MacDonald, the first male IVF baby. "To be in the company of these two people is quite fantastic," added Edwards, 77, beaming. Brown, who lives in Bristol in southwestern England and is engaged to be married, said it was good to see old friends again -- referring to other IVF children present and the doctors she has known all her life. But despite the celebrations to mark her birth, which has been described as one of the great medical and scientific stories of the 20th century, she said she didn't feel special. "I just get on with my life normally," she said. But when asked if she would consider IVF if it was necessary for her to have children she responded with an emphatic, "Yes." The celebrations at the Bourn Hall Clinic, where Edwards and his partner Patrick Steptoe perfected the technique, were a far cry from the early days of IVF. Removing eggs from women and fertilizing them with sperm in test tubes was considered a radical procedure in the 1970s. Edwards and Steptoe, who died in 1988, were criticized for what they were trying to achieve and were accused of playing God. Now IVF and other techniques can help about 75 percent of the estimated one in six couples who have a fertility problem to become parents. Since Brown's birth a technique for male infertility called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo screening to select the best embryos have pushed success rates to about 25 percent or more in many clinics. ICSI involves inserting a single sperm into an egg. Edwards believes the next 25 years will bring more advances in fertility treatments. One of the biggest challenges, he said, is learning more about why embryos do not implant in the womb. He would also like to see improvements in diagnosing genetic diseases and the development of stem cells, master cells in the body that can develop into any cell type, to treat diseases and to help infertile couples. "This will be a major miracle," he added.
