Visiting DHA & Bahria Town, Rawalpindi.

Dear Diary, I fellow overseas Pakistani who returned from USA to Pakistan organised a meet-up today in Bahria Town/DHA. Today we prayed at the mosque together and discussed the positives and negatives with living in this housing scheme. The meal was amazing and I had a great day out with the lads. Allahumabarik.

My apartment is exactly 5 mins walking distance from the mosque in River Hills 1 which you can see in this video. Overall I am very satisfied with this area. The Mosque is in DHA 1 sector F.

[@NotUrDJ]

How's the overall attendance for each jamaat?

[@Hzy_533]

There's different phases of dha, if you live in phase 2 or 5 it's located right on islamabad expressway which is being extended to an 8 lane motorway. Once roadworks are done you will be able to make it to zero point islamabad in 25mins. In my opinion it looks a lot better than outskirts of islamabad. Central islamabad is way too expensive to live in. So if you think about it living in phase 2 or 5 is not a bad shout. Other phases of dha which are phase 1,3,4 are located deeper in rawalpindi which takes a lot longer to get to central islamabad. So if anyone wants somewhere nice to live but doesn't want to pay central islamabad prices then definitely check out dha Phase 2 and phase 5. (Roadwords should hopefully be done by the end of this year)

Salaam brothers and sisters, I was waiting for a blog such as this could anyone living in these socities please guide us to purchase either a plot or house in Bahria Town or DHA. Its only me and my wife want to move within the next 18 months and have upto 2 crore 50 lakh for a small well built house or a plot and build ourselves. I'm keen to just buy a house as not familiar with all the planning rules and regulations but wife is keen to build. The biggest struggle is deciding between Bahria Town or DHA as KZbin is full of negativity against both societies with water issues, bills, maintenance charges, electricity etc. We dont want to be too far from food street phase 7 and Rawat interchange to get back to our village in kallar syedan yet maintaining a city life with amenities like gym, green areas, coffee shops. How much per month do you think with inflation at a high 2 people need for a healthy lifestyle? Bahria Town -DHA maintenance charges? Are you allowed to install solar panels in both societies? I would appreciate any feedback. Many thanks

@Chohan-786 walaikumsalaam, please email me, and I will pass on your message to a few people I know to give feedback and help to buy. [e-mail]

One of the issues living 1st hand experience there is they do not provide enough open green spaces. Everything is a concrete jungle and roads. They'll lines the roads up and build small park and that's it. The planning is this regard is very poor. Other countries plan open outdoor places ,bbq areas ,walking spaces for all ages to encourage a healthy lifestylem This enables good interaction with community in turn creating more friendships and sense of belonging. This really put me off ,they just think people like big shopping centres and food places that is it.

Brother Ma'sha'Allah you had a full Sunnah thick beard whilst you was in the UK, is there a Pacific reason for shortening it since you moved to Pakistan?

[@nisardar2652]

2nd waf 😁

[@MyBritishPakistaniLife]

@akhan6778 Thank you for noticing. The barber on Eid cut it short even though I told him I don't want it short. Since then, each time I visited the barber to have my beard 'set', they seemed to keep it small.

[@akhan6778]

@@MyBritishPakistaniLife yeah it's ok was just saying that because I was watching your vlog I think you was in Sheffield and I was like Ma'sha'Allah the brother even has his Sunnah beard when he was in UK

[@MyBritishPakistaniLife]

@akhan6778 Yeah, I was hoping more people would notice. However, in the UK, I used to cut my own hair to save money. Here in Pakistan, I use the barber. I have been changing barbers around 4 times already and I don't have a set person who know how long my beard should be 😅

Oh man, 8k rs for dinner ,oof. Seems a bit much but i guess that's nandos pricing

I’m assuming it’s a while since you’ve been to Pindi or Islamabad, because for the chain restaurants, that’s about standard.

Nando’s is not on the boycott list. He thought it was but he realised it’s not so he ate from there.

Mashallah You make it known of products to boycott but money you earn from the uk and spend are contributing through taxes for arms against 🇵🇸Palestine 😮

Good point, that's true for people who are paying taxes. Do you have suggestions of what else can be done?

I counted about 10 Namazis in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, There are more Namazis going to Masjids in KufrStan than Pakistan. Same with the Palestinian sit in, a few Dozen, While THOUSANDS have been attending every week since the conflict began. Allah only accepts Dua which is backed up by action,....not just verbal Dua and NO action.

[@a.i9347]

10 namazi? Which masjid were you going to ?

[@DivineLove247]

@@a.i9347 At 14 min 10 sec,....count them yourself.

[@MyBritishPakistaniLife]

@DivineLove247 there were about 7 rows full at jamaat time. I entered the Masjid before the Athan. Which means I was there 20 minutes before Athan. By the time I did wuthu and entered the main prayer hall. There were about 10 minutes left.

[@MissionIslamTV]

Islamic Republic of Pakistan has just 10 namazis? LOLLLLLLL please go see a really good psychologist.

[@REALISTuk]

You may enjoy your beloved Kufrstan... People are ignorant and don't think before commenting utter drivel. This YT Guy always attends earlier than the prayer time around 30 mins or so or after. Even in Kufrstan people be coming right at the closest to jamaat time.

[@REALISTuk]

Don't you lie dude, one plot of land is sold over and over to 10+ people and that's how Bahria earn money which is then transferred to UK/USA/Dubai.. Bahria is a sham n a scam... Do your research on fraudster Malik Riaz and his family in USA whom they work for?.
