Prayers for salamati-e-eeman-o-jaan-o-mulk-o-millat for all. My previous post "ZINDAGI KA SAFAR" invoked a beautiful comment from one of the most respected elders of mine regarding "SELF ASSURANCE". As I was prioritizing the factors which guarantee self assurance, Faith in Allah Karim headlined the list because He alone Gives life and everything which we have and the universe has. He is the most Compassionate and the most Merciful and He does not like that we suffer "WHY WOULD ALLAH  CAUSE YOU TO SUFFER IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL AND ATTAIN TO BELIEF - SEEING THAT ALLAH KARIM IS ALWAYS RESPONSIVE TO GRATITUDE, ALL KNOWING" 4:147. 

As I was meditating on the issue of Self Assurance, a sad news engulfed me. Some one lost the most precious item of the universe "Zindagi". A human life,  on whose creation Allah Karim heard dissenting voices from the most obedient of His servants on the one hand and a perpetual rebellion from the one who was MUALAM-UL-MALAKOOT" so to say on the other hand. 

This new creation was instantly exalted and appointed Khalifa on Earth. After man's departure from Paradise to earth he was told - you will have to struggle because your PENSION hereafter would depend upon the hard work, dedication and sincerity of purpose displayed FILARDH. He was also advised that during trial, tribulations and depression - seek refuge with Allah Karim "O YOU who have attained Faith! Seek aid in steadfast patience and prayer; for, behold, Allah is with those who are patient in adversity" 1-153.

Depression, a mania afflicting the world is the direct result of being UNGRATEFUL, "Verily , towards his Sustainer man is most ungrateful and to this, behold, he bears witness indeed" 100-6. Nothing in this world is that depressing which extinguishes the light of Zindagi, a Rahma and trust from Allah Karim.

Allah Karim make us from those, who are grateful, who take refuge with You with Patience and Prayers and BESTOW ON US CONTENTMENT AND MAY WE BE SELF ASSURED THAT YOU ALONE ARE THE CHERISH-ER AND SUSTAIN-ER OF ALL THE WORLDS AND YOU ALONE WE WORSHIP AND TO YOU ALONE WE TURN FOR AID AND SOLACE AND CURES FOR OUR AFFLICTIONS. Aameen.        

      With the name of Allahu Taala, the Cherisher and Sustainer of all the worlds. Unlimited Darood-o-Salaam on Muhammad-Ur-Rasool Ullah Sallalho Allaihe Wasalam and prayers for Sirat-e-Mustaqim, Eeman-e-Kaamila and Aa'mal-e-Saliha for everyone. 

       I believe that human being born in this mortal world has seven stages of his/her life. First being the one before the Yaum-e-Alast, second after that day, till conception in mother's womb which initiates the third stage. Fourth phase starts after birth and lasts till departure from this world. Fifth will be Aa'lam-e-Barzakh, Sixth the Day of Hashar and Meezaan and final phase will be allocation of Jannah or Dozakh dependent upon the 'demonstrated performance' during the fourth stage.

       All praises for Rahman Allah who has sustained me right through without a single day of deprivation and insolvency. I completed 58 years of fourth stage yesterday and as I embark on 59th year I have just revisited the days, weeks and years gone-by. I am embarrassed to note "Kuch Nahin Mere Palle" demonstrated performance is very poor almost non-existent. I have never counted the Blessings of Allah, hence the "SHUKRAANA" is also pending. BOHAT AA'MAAL QAZZA JO HUEY UNKA HISAB BHI NAHIN. Duties enjoined by Allah through His Prophet Sallalho Allaihe Wasalam have been terribly violated. Huqooq Allah ke sath sath Huqooq-ul-ibaad ka bhi bohat Qarz is there. How beautiful someone has said  

"KOUCHA-E-DOST SE AAGE HAI BAHOT, DASHAT-E-JUNOON             

ISHAQ WAALON NEY ABHI KHAAK KAHAAN CHHAANI HAI"

Ham ney tou saari zindgi Koucha-e-Dost mein guzaar de hai, Dashat-E-Junoon ko dekha tak nahin.....Ho ga Kiya? 

"MERAA DILE ASAT KUFAR AASHNA KE CHANDI BAAR

BA KAA'BA BURDAM WA BAZASH BARHMAN BURDAM" 

HAS NOT YET THE TIME COME FOR THE BELIEVERS (MOMINEEN) THAT THEIR HEARTS SHOULD FEEL HUMBLED AT THE REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH AND FOR WHAT HAS BEEN REVEALED. THEY SHOULD NOT BECOME LIKE THOSE WHO WERE GIVE THE BOOK BEFORE THEM. THEN THE TERM WAS PROLONGED FOR THEM, BUT THEIR HEARTS WERE HARDENED, AND MOST OF THEM ARE DISOBEDIENT. 57:16

Allah Karim Make us do and act the way You want us to be, Aameen.
