The Rising Importance of Digital Health and Bioinformatics
Digital health and bioinformatics are reshaping global healthcare, integrating technology, big data, and medical sciences to improve patient outcomes and disease management.
محمد ریان ایک معصوم فرشتہ جو 14 اگست 2025 کی رات والد کیساتھ
انا للہ و انا الیہ راجعون۔ محمد ریان بلال، ایک معصوم فرشتے کی جان، 14 اگست 2025 کو کسی کی غیر ذمہ دارانہ ہوائی فائرنگ کی وجہ سے چھین لی گئی۔
یہ دل دہلا دینے والا سانحہ ایک پورے خاندان کو تباہ کر گیا, ایک باپ اور ماں نے اپنا اکلوتا 11 ماہ کا بچہ، اپنی دنیا اور خوشی کا محور کھو دیا، صرف اس لیے کہ کوئی اپنی نام نہاد “خوشی” منا رہا تھا۔
خدارا، ہوائی فائرنگ کی اس ظالمانہ روایت کو روکیں, آپ کے چند سیکنڈ کے “مزے” کسی کی پوری زندگی چھین سکتے ہیں۔ خوشی کے لمحات کو زندگی بھر کے دکھوں میں نہ بدلیں۔
اللہ تعالیٰ غمزدہ والدین کو اپنی رحمت کے سائے میں رکھے، انہیں صبر جمیل عطا فرمائے، اور اس معصوم جان کو جنت الفردوس میں بلند مقام دے۔ آمین
