Water on Pluto
NASA scientists have confirmed existence of water in Pluto-the furthermost planet from the earth. There is no surprise in it. A few weeks ago, the scientists claimed to have got evidence of water in Mars.
There are several verses in the Holy Quran to have said that Allah created every living being and man from water. In Verse No. 11/6, the Quran says, the dominion of Allah extended upon water before creation of the heavens and the earth.
In fact the human civilisation is not new, but old. When Hazrat Hud (AS) was Prophet thousands of years ago, the ruler of Yemen Shaddat built a large city adorned with lofty buildings, fruits and flower gardens and fountains, which drew the attention of the people of the other parts of the world.
We think that the scientists will discover more wonderful signs of Allah.

Loss of ethics and morality
A man without ethics and morality can do any crime because he does not fear the punishment of Allah. That is why crimes in our society have reached their extreme.
To check it, when a human child is born; parents should give utmost attention to instill sense of ethics and morality in him (or her). A child will touch fire because he (or she) does not know the severe consequence thereof.
To speak the truth is the most essential virtue of a man. When a man (or woman) will fear the punishment of Allah, he or she will never perjure in the court of law or at any negotiation table. So, to ameliorate ethics and morality, both the family and the state will separately or jointly take initiative.
A society without ethics and morality is certain to break down. So, will the State and each family think of it seriously?
