purpose. Russia spent huge amount in detecting and gathering the US technology.

JUST GUESS!

Can you guess what place is seen in the picture? A corner of a living room or a sleeping room?

No, none of them. This is the room of Kandahar's Deputy Inspector General (DIG) and is telling us the story of an era when the Taliban were ruling Afghanistan. During Taliban's rule, the government officials, ministers used to remain engaged in

acquiring and imparting religious knowledge besides performing their official duties. At that time, the orders written in the Quran and Hadith were practically enforced in the society. The Islamic system was not merely a theory or ideology but it was prevailing in the Afghan society, and due to its blessing, the country was slowly emerging as a real model Islamic state.

Islamic system of governance, justice and economy had become almost nonexistent in the world, and Kuffar's form of courts and

government was in vogue when the Taliban introduced such a system that even the DIG would not only solve people's grievances and settle local disputes but also organized the teaching of Islamic law in his room. "Hidaya" a famous book of Islamic law was regularly taught in his room.

It is our misfortune that the Taliban's blessed era passed by and Allah knows whether out eyes would see Islamic System enforced again —
