An Experience While In Germany

To mirror the culture of any community and sketch its life style into a pen-paper shape demands a clear, neutral observation and first hand experiences. A warm welcome in 2001 proved the first impression of the security and protection measures in Germany. People from many nationalities
have dwelled in here and are integral part. Following paragraphs are my personal views the foreigners coming to Germany for some purposes for example to pursue a higher education.
The students from Asia - noticeably from Pakistan - can have a good chance to avail the opportunity to equip and sharpen their minds with the state-of-the-art technologies. Science and business administration are the major fields of attraction for us. Approximately 157* Pakistani students are
seeking further knowledge in Information technology, Water resources, Physics, Chemistry, medical sciences, cultural and languages studies in different universities of Germany.
There has been seen an inconvenience faced by many new comers especially the Muslims comings from Islamic countries. The prime theme is German proficiency. It is clear that one should be proficient in the language of the country where he is intended to fly. Admittedly and alternatively it is a very appreciative step of the universities to initiate an intensive German course for the foreigners. Another significant measure is the integration course started since 2005. The advantage of this course is basically that the attendee would become skilful in daily conversation etc, and can find the suitable job after successful education. For surviving successfully, it is of vital importance that one should also keep abreast of German rules and bureaucratic processes, the social principles, and the traffic regulations.
Life in Germany is very pace full and punctual; off course, a necessary condition for a country to be called "Advanced and developed".
Additionally, a person who wants to be integrated in German culture as a useful contributor of Germany's economy has to compromise a little bit. It is often seen that people especially coming from Islamic backgrounds have a little barrier with them and the new culture. It could be due to the
personal hesitation or their brought up. They have been taught to be in a moralistically respectful to the fellows. The need for the foreigner is to open and widen the mind and vision to accept the thoughts of other nations. People just know Islam as a religion of Terror and restrictions; media has
nothing to do with such images to spread all over the world. The people with a good degree of tolerance and deep understanding of humanity can only indeed clean the stereotypic image of Islam from the TV Screen. We should show our positive integral contribution in German manpower, intellectual intelligence. It is necessary that we exhibit our perfect peaceful nature, friendly communication, intrinsic honesty, keen interest to know other religions with a neutral brain as they are also revealed from the same God - Allah - show our deep tolerance to others. For example, the tolerance of Prophet David (PBUH), the tolerance of The Prophet Jesus Christ (PBUH), and the tolerance of the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed in his early journey to Tai'f (city in Saudi Arabia) for spreading the last religion of the Supreme Power Allah.
With all such traits and characteristics of a good human being one can start and lead a happier life in any part of the world. Especially in Germany where the basic law: Article 1 - 5: are only for the humanity and personal freedom. It states, "Human dignity shall be inviolable, Equality before the
law, freedom of faith and expression, etc..." Under such a free-hand environment one can positively begin a good philanthropic life and also exhibit a true nature of Islam. It would not be wrong to say here that the German are very friendly and being warm well comers they are in a sense multicultural. This indicates that the terrestrial hatred is not found in this country of 82 million people ** out of which about 2% are the Muslims.
The need for the people coming from The East is to open up their mind like parachute because a parachute works only when it is open and in the other sense, this is only the way they can be good integral profiteers and add their significant contributions in German economy enhancing the East-West
relation as well.
