Narrated Abu Huraira (R.A):
Allah’s Apostle (S.A.W) said, “The younger person should greet the older one, and the walking person should greet the sitting one, and the small number of persons should greet the large number of persons.”
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 74, Number 252
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah died on 11 September 1948, just over a year after Pakistan came into being. He had been suffering from serious lung disease, but his illness was kept remarkably secret during the crucial years surrounding Partition.
According to historical accounts, Quaid-e-Azam’s tuberculosis was diagnosed in June 1946, when two Bombay doctors, physician Dr Jal Ratanji Patel and radiologist Dr Jal Dhaybho-Koo, examined his X-rays and concluded that he had advanced tuberculosis. Quaid-e-Azam and his doctors understood that revealing the severity of his illness could have had enormous political consequences. In 1946–47, he was at the centre of negotiations over India's future. If British officials or rival political leaders had known that he was seriously ill, they might have assumed that he would soon be unable to lead the Muslim League and could have changed their negotiating strategy. Historical accounts have even suggested that knowledge of his condition might have affected the timing or terms of Partition, although this remains a matter of historical debate.
By 1948, Quaid-e-Azam’s health had deteriorated dramatically. He spent time recovering in Ziarat where he developed pneumonia in September. On 11 September 1948, he was flown from Quetta to Karachi, but died shortly after arriving at the Governor-General's House.
The secrecy surrounding his illness meant that when news of his death reached the nation, many Pakistanis were shocked. The man who had led the creation of Pakistan had continued working despite a condition that had been known only to a very small circle of people.
Why does exercise help you think better?
Physical activity does more than strengthen your muscles. Your brain benefits from movement too. When you exercise, your heart pumps more blood around your body, including to the brain. Regular physical activity is associated with better attention, memory and other aspects of cognitive function.
There is also a fascinating connection between movement and mood. Exercise can influence chemicals and signalling systems in the brain involved in stress and emotional well-being. This is one reason you may feel mentally refreshed after a walk or workout.
The next time you are struggling to concentrate on your studies, don't automatically reach for another cup of tea or coffee. A short walk might be a smarter break.
