AKHTAR N JANJUA

Allah created humans from a male and a female and made into tribes and nations for identification. However the most righteous is the most honoured. No Arab has any superiority over a non-Arab nor is a White any way better than a Black. All created beings are the decendants of Adam and existence of Adam sprang from dust. hence all claims to superiority and greatness, all demands for blood or ransom and all false traits or trends of rule are false.

EID MUBARIK


All praises for Allah Karim; Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS].

Prayers for all.

Muslims world over are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha and reviving and commemorating the greatest tradition of absolute submission  set by Hazrat Ibraheem AS and his household. I take this opportunity to wish EID MUBARIK to all Muslims and HAJJ-E-MABROOR to all guests of ALLAH KARIM.

A food for thought; how Allah Karim exalts those who submit:
And [remember this:] when his Sustainer tried Abraheem by {His} commandments and the latter fulfilled them, He said: "Behold, I shall make you a leader of men. 
" And Ibraheem asked: "And [will You make leaders] of my offspring as well?". 
{Allah Karim} Answered: "My covenant does not embrace the evildoers." AL-BAQARAH (2) : 124.
May we not be amongst the evildoers. Aameen

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 11



All praises for Allah Karim; Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS].

Prayers for all.

With the Name Of Allah SWT, I start this post too with Quranic Verse as usual:
O YOU who have attained to faith ! Remain conscious of God; and let every human being look to what he sends ahead for the morrow ! And [once again]: Remain conscious of God,  for God is fully aware of all that you do. AL-HASHR (59) : 18. 
Few more qualities/traits of Mominoon as given in Quran are:
19.     After committing a mistake they turn in repentance to God.                          AL-ARAF (7) : 143.
20.     They remain conscious of God and keep alive the bonds of brotherhood among themselves.
21.     Their hearts tremble with awe whenever God is mentioned.
22.    Their faith is strengthened whenever God's message is conveyed to them and they always place their trust in Him.
23.     They remain constant in prayers and spend on others, out of which God has provided to them. 
AL-ANFAL (8) : 1-4.
These believers shall be of great dignity in the sight of God, their sins will be forgiven by Him and they shall have most excellent sustenance. 

MAY WE ALL BE AMONG THE BELIEVERS.

SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE

Prayers for all.

While going through some good reading material, I bumped into this one and couldn't resist sharing it with all friends:
Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO WHAT HAS, UP TO NOW, BEEN A FAIRLY STABLE CONDITION OF CONFLICT IN THE WORLD.
Some signs and symptoms of inner peace are:
1.      A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
2.      An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
3.      A loss of interest in judging other people.
4.      A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
5.      A loss of interest in conflict.
6.      A loss of ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom).
7.      Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
8.      Contended feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
9.      Frequent attacks of smiling.
10.    An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
11.  An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

Wishing everyone THE INNER PEACE.

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 10

Praises and purity is for Allah Karim, Who is The First without a beginning and The Last without an end. The Sovereign Supreme, The Holy, The One with whom all salvation rests, The Giver of the Faith. The Determiner of the true and false, The Almighty, The One who subdues wrong and restores right. The One to whom all greatness belongs. 
Unlimited Darood-o-Salam on Prophet SAWS for whom Allah revealed "Indeed, there has come unto you [O Mankind] an Apostle from among yourselves: heavily weighs upon him {the thought} that you might suffer {in the life to come}; full of concern for you (is he, and) full of compassion and mercy towards the believers".
Prayers for all. Starting in the Name Of Allah SWT:
.............He whom God guides, he alone has found the right way; whereas for him whom He lets go astray YOU CAN NEVER FIND ANY PROTECTOR WHO WOULD POINT OUT THE RIGHT WAY. AL-KAHF (18) : 17.

Lets see some more Quranic qualities of Believers (Mominoon):
14.     They do not befriend those who mock their faith and make a jest of it. AL-MAIDAH (5) : 57.
15.     They worship God alone and give full measure and weight {in all their dealings}.
16.     They do not deprive people of what is rightfully theirs.
17.     They do not spread corruption and mischief on earth.
18.     They do not obstruct the seekers of truth from finding the truth.
AL-ARAF (7) : 85-86



MAY ALLAH KARIM MAKE/RAISE US ALL AS BELIEVERS.

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 9


All praises for Allah Karim; Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS].

Prayers for all.

With the Name Of Allah SWT, lets start this post with Quranic Injunctions as usual:
Just as for those who are [willing to be] guided, He increases their {ability to follow His} guidance and causes them to grow in God-consciousness. 
Are, then, they [whose hearts are sealed] waiting for the Last Hour - (waiting) that it come upon them of a sudden? But it has already been foretold ! And what will their remembrance {of their past sins} avail them, once it has come upon them? MUHAMMAD (47) : 17-18. 
Continuing with the traits of Believers:
9.     They believe in the prophethood of Messengers of God, Message they brought and Miracles they performed with God's leave. AL-IMRAN (3) : 49.
10.    They remain steadfast during war waged in God's way. 
11.    They place their trust in God. (10, 11, 12) - AL-IMRAN (3) : 121-123.
12.    They always look for causes to be grateful to God. 
13.    They submit to the ordinances which the Prophet SAWS, under divine inspiration, promulgated with a view to exemplifying the Message of God and enabling the Believers to apply it to actual situations. AN-NISA (4) : 65.



MAY ALLAH KARIM MAKE/RAISE US ALL AS BELIEVERS.

ALLAH - WE SEEK YOUR FORGIVENESS

Praises and purity is for Allah Karim, Who is The First without a beginning and The Last without an end. The Sovereign Supreme, The Holy, The One with whom all salvation rests, The Giver of the Faith. The Determiner of the true and false, The Almighty, The One who subdues wrong and restores right. The One to whom all greatness belongs. 

Unlimited Darood-o-Salam on Prophet SAWS for whom Allah revealed "Indeed, there has come unto you [O Mankind] an Apostle from among yourselves: heavily weighs upon him {the thought} that you might suffer {in the life to come}; full of concern for you (is he, and) full of compassion and mercy towards the believers".

I am at a loss to express myself, the words and thoughts are deserting me. I am embarrassed that I am living in an age where I (as a Muslim) am flouting every injunction, every norm of Islam, bragging still that I am the very best, there was, is and ever will be. I want to impose my brand of Islam on all and  if others don't submit to my whims, they don't deserve to live. Allah Karim has laid down conditions for sustenance and elimination of life. A Renouncer of Deen (Murtad), an adulterer and a murderer are liable for capital punishment if the preferred charges are proved against the accused AND NO ONE ELSE.

What has happened to Malalai, Kaina'at and Shazia is beyond any logic, is inhuman and shameful. No argument in favor of the crime is sustainable. Allama had said this for Fatima Bint AbdAllah:
 فاطمہ تو آبروے ملت مرحوم ھے - ذرا ذرا تیری مشتِ خاک کا معصوم ھے     
These daughters of Pakistan fall in the same category. I am into Sura Takwir for last few days and same I want to share with all of you:
When the Sun is shrouded in darkness,
And when the stars lose their weight,
And when the Mountains are made to vanish,
And when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left unattended,
And when all beasts are gathered together,
And when the Seas boil over,
And when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds],
AND WHEN THE GIRL CHILD THAT WAS BURIED ALIVE IS MADE TO ASK FOR WHAT CRIME SHE HAD BEEN SLAIN? 
And when the scrolls of (deeds) are unfolded,
And when heaven is laid bare,
And when the blazing fire [of hell] is kindled bright,
And when paradise is brought into view:
On that day every human being will come to know what he has prepared for him/herself.

ربِ کریم ھمیں سوچنے اور سمجھنے والا بنا دے۔ آمین

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 8



All praises for Allah Karim; Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS].

Prayers for all.

In the preceding 7 posts we have seen most of the qualities/traits of God-Conscious (Mutaqeen) people {as per Quran} and frankly I have not been able to observe any one having a sectarian tilt/requiring a sectarian umbrella for practice. These traits as described by Allah Karim can be practiced by all and practitioners will be amongst those who shall attain the happy state (مفلِحون). The very first trait as outlined in Quran is that of BELIEF (in that which is beyond the human perception). We shall, now,  see the traits of BELIEVERS ( مومِنون)  in this post and few more following it. 
Allah Karim Says "Do they, perchance, wait for the angels to appear unto them, or for your Sustainer [Himself] to appear, or for some of your Sustainer's {final} portents to appear? {But} on the Day when your Sustainer's [final] portents do appear, BELIEVING WILL BE OF NO AVAIL TO ANY HUMAN BEING WHO DID NOT BELIEVE BEFORE, or who, while believing, did no good works" (were not Mutaqeen). AL-AN'AM (6) : 158. 
Who, then are Believers?
1.     They believe in God and what He has ordained.  
2.     They believe in Prophets and what has been given to them by God.
3.     They believe in Angels and the Day of Judgement.
4.     The take Quran as a guidance and glad tiding. AL-BAQARAH (2) : 97. 
5.     The give up usury. AL-BAQARAH (2) : 278. 
6.     Wives are a tilth for them and they establish a spiritual relationship as the indispensable basis of sexual relationship. AL-BAQARAH (2) : 223.
7.     They do not make their oaths an obstacle to virtue and God-Consciousness and promotion of peace between people.  AL-BAQARAH (2) : 224. 
8.     They are sure of meeting Allah. AL-BAQARAH (2) : 223.
MAY ALLAH KARIM MAKE/RAISE US ALL AS BELIEVERS.

All praises for Allah Karim; Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS].
Prayers for all.
And Say: The truth [has now come] from your Sustainer; let, then, him who wills, believe in it, and let him who wills, reject it. AL-KAHF (18) : 29.
Continuing on with the traits of Mutaqeen as given in Quran:
30.     They remain steadfast while fighting with the deniers of truth. AT-TAWBAH (9) : 123.
31.     They respect and honor the symbols (شعارالٌہہ) of God. AL-HAJJ (22) : 32.
32.     Whenever they speak they display will to bring out [only] what is just and true.  AL-AHZAB (33) : 70. 
33.     They study Quran in Arabic free of all deviousness, to become God Conscious. AZ-ZUMAR (39) : 28.
34.     They bring the truth and accept the truth wholeheartedly. AZ-ZUMAR (39):33.
35.     They believe in the sole Creator (God) Who has created them and those before them and those who will succeed them and worship God alone.
MAY WE ALL BE AMONGST THOSE WHO BRING AND ACCEPT THE TRUTH WHOLEHEARTEDLY. AAMEEN.

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 6

All praises for Allah Karim; Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS].
Prayers for all.
Sixth Part of the series is presented below - but before that just like the previous posts lets start with a Quranic Injunction on the subject:
THERE SHALL BE NO COERCION IN MATTERS OF FAITH: Distinct has now become the Right Way from [the way of] Error: hence, whosoever rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way: For God is all-hearing, all-knowing. AL-BAQRA (2) : 256.
Few more traits of Mutaqeen as given in Quran, therefore, are:
25.     They worship God alone and have no deity other than Him. AL-ARAF (7) : 65.
26.     They turn unto God for aid. AL-ARAF (7) : 128.
27.     They remain patient in adversity. AL-ARAF (7) : 128.
28.     They truly believe in God and the Last Day and struggle in God's cause with their possessions and lives. AT-TAWBAH (9) : 44. 
29.     They remain true to their words and stand with those who are are also true (in words and deeds). AT-TAWBAH (9) : 119.

May we all be true in words and deeds. Aameen.
