Insaaniath
This village is for all children of Hazrat Adam(A.S.).. aka Mankind...
Often we as humans Choose to segregate ourselves based on searching for commonality which distinguishes us from the rest of the masses. Unfortunately, too often this sort of ideology is a false comfort which more often then not leads to a sense of ethnocentricity in the human heart.
This village is an effort in the interests of Humanity. An effort against the very un-Islamic forms of ethnocentricity, racism, nationalism, and tribalism, ... etc. Which more often then not has been the backbone of some of the most terrible acts in the history of Mankind.
This village is intended to serve as common grounds to those who choose to focus their time and efforts on the common struggles of all mankind. Too often, We .. Mankind, fail to realize that we are inherently all the same. There are common factors which drive all our lives simply because we are all Human. We have all the same needs and aspirations but maybe more importantly, we all have the same Struggle. And we are in this struggle together. Yet, people all over the globe choose to find conflict amongst themselves rather than uniting against the common enemy of all Mankind...
So, simply stated: This village is about the Unity of Man and all that which should be of concern to any man.
SIDE NOTE: If anyone is wondering why the name "Insaaniath" or is not sure of its meaning.. its Urdu/Hindi for Mankind/Humankind. I tried Mankind and other similar English equivalents but Naseeb refused...

has added a new journalOnce upon a time a bird in a cage sang for her merchant master.
He took such delight in her song that her feelings began to matter.
He grew so fond of her that he brought her water in a golden dish,
And when he went on a trade journey he asked her for her wish.
"I will go through the forest where you were born, past the birds of your neighbourhood,
What message shall I give them of your present good."
"Tell them I sit locked in a cage, singing my captive song,
And I hope it won't be long,
Before I fly in freedom through the trees,
That will set my heart at ease."
The merchant went on his donkey through the wood,
When he got to where the bird was from he stopped and raised his hood.
"O birds! Greetings to you, one and all, from my bird locked in her cage,
She sends her love and wants me to tell you of her condition and ask your sage,
For a message to take back that will ease her heart and turn for her life a new page."
"She is all alone with bars all around,
She wants to join her beloved and sound,
Her song through the air and be free and unbound."
Suddenly, one bird shrieked and fell from it's branch on to the ground.
The merchant froze on the spot he stood.
He returned to his house unable to speak,
When his bird asked him what message came from their beaks.
He stood before her cage and said "O nothing to speak of!"
"No! No" she cried I must know!!
"I told them your message" he said "and just like that one bird fell dead"
Suddenly, his own bird shrieked and fell on her head.
He let out a cry "O What have I done?"
"Now my moon has gone and so has my sun!"
"My own bird is dead, my life means nothing,
I will have to bury her, a burial fit for a king."
He opened the door of the cage and gently took her,
Careful as not to drop her.
Once, out of the cage, she flew out and away
Onto the roof in the light of the day
"Thank you! Dear Master for delivering my plea,
Those birds sent me a message that instructed me,
On how to win my freedom and fly quite free,
So now I go to my beloved who is waiting for me"
"All I had to do was die,
It's easy once you know how and why,
Good-bye, master no more,
I will fly and soar,
To return no more."
