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.

RAHMAT-E-SAB JAHAN


All praises for Allah Karim; 
   
Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Prophet [SAWS], peace upon his family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Prayers for everyone !

This weekend blended diversity and afforded a chance to travel, interact and REFLECT.

It is the Holy Month of Rabi-ul-Awal and Friday marked EID-E-MILAD-UN-NABI. Preparations for celebration started with the sighting of the moon. (Not withstanding the differences of opinion on the subject - which area a FACT) One saw a great integration amongst different segments of the society, sectarian harmony and an aura of general festivity. Mahafils, Seminars and other functions are being held punctuated with beautiful renditions of NAATs by renowned NAAT KHAWNs. and description of various aspects of SEERAT-UN-NABI (SAWS) by religious scholars. (Unfortunately  though there is a little divide here too. Civilian population areas/ localities exhibited great festive look, buildings, houses, streets, markets in fact every inch was illuminated and there were processions and other activities; whereas quarters housing the affluent looked sort of blacked out).

Without getting into the merits and demerits of all above, my inference and preference is that:
THE PROPHET SAWS is the most recorded personality in the entire history of mankind - Allah Karim has described him as the best one to emulate. There must be a very serious endeavor at all levels to teach, learn and practice every single aspect of his (saws) SEERAT and if we do that I have no doubt  whatsoever that we as Ummah will regain our past glory and become the role models for the humanity as Allah SWT wants to be.
 ھماری تمام مشکلات کا حل اس میں مضمر ھے

کی محمد سے وفا تو نے تو ھم تیرے  ھیں
یہ جھاں چیز ھے کیا لوح و قلم تیرے  ھیں

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 21


All praises for Allah Karim; 
   
Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Prophet [SAWS], peace upon his family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Prayers for everyone !

Starting in the name of Allah SWT with His Kalam:
Say: "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open! it is You that will judge between Your Servants in those matters about which they have differed." Even if the wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment: but something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have counted upon! AZ-ZUMAR (39) : 46-47.
A lot has happened in the last few days, carnage at Quetta and the resultant SIT-IN, imposition of Governor Rule (which may be as 'efficient' as the Raisani Government was - Rule [mis], Rule hota hai CM ka ho ya Governor Ka), Long March and DHARNA - Islamabad Declaration.  RPPs have started taking life. LOC is brewing up a storm with Indian Media and Opposition there making a mountain out of a mole hill. This side AMAN KI ASHA as usual and by the way say WELL DONE to GENRAL PERVEZ M for saying what SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAID. 

In the last post we had seen five attributes of Muflihoon, lets see few more:
6.     They do not enter the faith through back door i.e. without being conscious of Allah SWT by just observing the fringe rituals. AL-BAQARAH (2) : 189.
7.     They enjoin doing good and forbid doing what is wrong. AL-IMRAN (3) : 104.
8.     They do no gorge themselves on usury (SOOD).  AL-IMRAN (3) : 130.
9.     They remain patient in adversity.
10.    They vie in patience with one another.
11.    They remain ever ready to do right and remain conscious of Allah SWT.
 AL-IMRAN (3) : 200.
LETs TRY.

IF I WORSHIP YOU........


All praises for Allah Karim; 

   
Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Prophet [SAWS], peace upon his family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Prayers for everyone !


O Lord, if I worship You
Because of fear of hell
Then burn me in hell.
 
If I worship You
Because I desire paradise
Then exclude me from paradise.
 
But if I worship You
For Yourself alone
Then deny me not
Your eternal beauty.

THOUGH LATE BUT HEAR THEY DID



All praises for Allah Karim; 

   
Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Prophet [SAWS], peace upon his family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Prayers for everyone !


Allah Karim SWT Says in Quran:
O you who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, you would abhor it...But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful. AL-HUJURAAT (49) : 12.
Dr. Tahir Qadri: He came, sat, talked and left. In my previous post on the subject I had said that problem areas in governance, adherence to rules and regulations and implementation of Constitutional  Provisions highlighted by him could not be challenged. I had some questions for learned Dr. and few for all political stake holders.

He, however, marched with his followers and 'sat' infront of Parliament House (now famous D Chowk) for more than 80 hours. Entire nation remained glued to TV screens witnessing the unmatched and unprecedented calm and discipline of his disciples, abounding prowess of oratory by him (which was at times theatrical and oft-rhetorical) and sensible handling of the situation by the authorities, though clumsiness could have been cast anytime by someone who probably would be the first person on board a flight to the land of 'Plans' come 16 March 2013.

The sit-in ended with an agreement called as Islamabad Long March declaration without any loss of life and property (Time? - we as a Nation have never cared about). All sorts of speculations, comments and analysis are orbiting the Planets - TV, InterNet, Print, Cosy Corners, Telephone and Wireless chats, Road Side Tea Stalls, Drawing Rooms and Living Areas (Offices being no exception off course); all politically, religiously, ethnically, socially and foolishly motivated. Someone is claiming victory, another is rubbishing it as 'FIXED', yet another is calling it a 'Proxy for Establishment', few are depressed that why there was no bloodshed others are happy that there was no TALIBAAN ATTACK, few are still clamoring that there would be an attack and so on JITNE MOONH ITNI BAATEIN, polarization of the society is so overwhelming.  

The spectacle has its oscillations. Lets see some of the 'valleys' first:
Diagnosis by Dr. Qadri were/are correct but some of his demands were far fetched and "COULD NEVER BE ACCEPTED" writ large over them. 
It was foolish at the least to expose people of all ages and gender to such extremes, if he had wanted to prove a point he could just have marched peacefully (as he did) and then dispersed after having shown his strength and demanding 'Dialogue'.
Deaf ears and paralyzed reaction to the misery of people displayed by the Government of the Day. It only jumped into action when the danger to life and property became very real and that too after a nod from the President himself.
Very selfish approach by political players displaying a vivid penchant for the status-quo and the fact that 'nobody is interested in reformation of the system' CHAI PAANI CHALTAA REHNA CHAHIYE. 
The Peaks are:
This was one of the biggest wave of human storm to have landed on the shores of Islamabad and not a leaf dropped due to action of the participants. Tremendous discipline and monumental control. (KOI MAANE YA NAH MANNE) It was a 'very first' in the tumultuous history of Pakistan.
Armed Forces and Intelligence Agencies had no role whatsoever in the entire episode and did not budge an inch from their constitutional obligations. Another First in the history of Pakistan.
The saga may.. and I say... may make the electoral process more objective. 
It has also stamped the arrival of general elections at due time.
It must have given the realization to the Stake Holders that the Nation may rise again if there is no positive development in the right direction.
The unanimous opposing call by relevant people and parties when a threat for 'targeted action' sounded.
The fact that no terror activity took place and that a better face of Islam (talking about religious harmony and rights of minorities was good) and Pakistan was presented by the participants of March and Sit-In.   
There can be many more not listed. Praise be to Allah Karim that it has ended on a positive note. Though late but all concerned displayed maturity as it was very obvious that leaned Dr. had become edgy and if Government had not responded positively some ugliness would have surfaced.

Dr. Qadri must now plan to be part of the electoral process as he has tested his strength and should also make an earnest effort to unite his constituency so that he could do something for the reforms he has been demanding.

With prayers.        Akhtar N Janjua.

SOMEBODY PINCH US - ARE WE STILL ALIVE?


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

Prayers for all.
Allah Says:
And it is not conceivable that a believer should slay another believer, unless it is by mistake---------------------------------But whoever deliberately slays another believer, his requital shall be Hell, therein to abide; and Allah will condemn him, and will reject him, and will prepare for him awesome suffering. AN-NISA (4) : 92-93.
I am in a indescribable state; death, destruction and despicable callousness rules every dimension of life (IF IT STILL EXISTS?). HUMAN PREDATORS are on a killing spree, KOTEWALS are busy in  a no holds  barred plunder (suffering from paralyzing indecisiveness and lack of interest on all other fronts) ; GUARDS are awaiting decision and SUBJECTS are numb and in a state of shock. GLADIATORS are busy playing their games in the Coliseum [entire country is one - for them].

Bereaved families sitting with the charred, mutilated and blown into smithereens corpses of their dear ones are awaiting some sympathetic gesture from heartless people for two days [AL-AMMAN YA KHALIQ-E-KULL].

Hazaras of Balochistan have been the color, calm, contrast and candor of Quetta. From Fateh Khan Market to Lal Kabab they were the face of the city. Business thrived riding on their innocence and smile. Their Changazis brought a pleasant sheen to the uniform (کہاں تک سنو گے کہاں تک سناؤں).

Enemies with overwhelming numbers couldn't destroy us and THEN WE DECIDED TO SELF DESTRUCT:
اے خاصہءِ خاصانِ رسل وقتِ دعا ھے
امت پہ تیری آ کے عجب وقت پڑا ھے
       
الہہ ھمیں اِنسان بننے کی توفیق عطا فرما دے ! آمین

DO YOU HEAR ME?


All praises for Allah Karim; 
   
Immeasurable Darood-o-Salam on Rasool-Ullah Salalaho Allaihe Wasalam [SAWS], and peace upon his family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Prayers for everyone !


Allah Karim SWT Says in Quran:
O you who have attained to faith.....................and if you are at variance over any matter, refer it unto Allah Karim SWT and the Apostle, if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best [for you], and best in the end. AN-NISA (4) : 59.
My beloved (bleeding and bereaved) Pakistan is bracing for yet another Long March. Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, the leading light of Minhaj-Ul-Quran International, has vowed to reform Pakistan through a  Long March on Islamabad. He pronounced his diagnosis of what ails Pakistan in a mammoth rally at Lahore on 23 December 2012. 

Call him what you like; devious, dubious, double faced puppet pursuing somebody else's agenda but the fact of the matter is he laid bare what is there on every body's mind and tongue. It has been the most discussed subject in the past fortnight and will remain so in days to come. He comes from a religious constituency whose role in Pakistan Movement and support to Quaid-e-Azam is well documented. Students of history know the contributions of 'MASHAIKH-E-AZZAM', resolution of 1946 Banaras Conference and door to door canvassing by Pir Jammat Ali Shah, Pir Manki Sharif and Pir Zakori Sharif prior to referendum in Frontier where only few months back ML had been badly defeated. It is, therefore, good if this constituency plays its part again but how? 


Political leaders and their followers, analysts and scholars are inferring about his motives sane the solution to the problems he has highlighted. I am irked at the apathy of the concerned parties, their lack of will to do the things correctly and absence of resolve to reform the system as per the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, apparently which is the demand of Dr. Qadri. I want to however, ask few questions from Dr. Qadri and leaders of political parties representing masses in upper and lower houses of the Parliament.

First from Dr. Qadri:
Agreeing that your prognosis are correct; is the prescription specified by you 'Long March and Sit In' the only solution? Why don't you consider bringing in the change through ballot?
If through your actions entire system is derailed; where do you find Pakistan heading to and your own place here and in the pages of history?
Do you believe your entire 'constituency' is on board?
Predators are on the prowl; what if (as the Minister of Interior says) there is loss of precious lives?
Severity of weather, lurking danger and drowning Islamabad; will your fellow marchers be steadfast 'till achievement of aim'? If not then have you considered the impact which failure shall cast?
Are you sure, political people jumping on your Boat shall persevere?
Wouldn't it have been better if the huge amount and effort being spent on 'Long March' found its way on some more fruitful endeavor?
From the Government and Political Parties:
If Dr. Qadri's blue print of System's gapping holes is correct (which definitely is); why everyone concerned has not put hands up to say 'RIGHT YOU ARE' come lets work together to find the way to plug the gaps?
Why political parties in the opposition have not shown any urgency on a serious matter affecting the entire nation?
What if the marchers come and sit and the lifeline of the system collapses?
What do you all say that Constitution is for? When we shall follow it in letter and spirit?
DO WE ALL TAKE THIS BELOVED COUNTRY OF OURS AS OUR COUNTRY? DO WE HAVE CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS POOR MASSES? WHEN WILL THE LONG WINTER OF THIS NATION BE OVER AND TILL WHEN OUR LEADING ELITE HIBERNATE?

WHEN SHALL WE SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS; IN THE WAY PRESCRIBED BY ALLAH SWT AND HIS APOSTLE SAWS? 

ALLAH RAHM FRMA. AAMEEN

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 20



سب تعریفیں صرف خدا وندِ قدوس کے لئے !


بے حد درود و سلام رسول اللھہ صل اللہ علیہ وسلم پر; اہلِ بیت ، آل، اصحاب اور جملہ زمینی اور  آسمانی اہل طاعت پر !

دعائیں سب کے لئے

In the previous 19 Posts we have seen certain traits of MUTAQEEN and MOMINEEN as given in Quran. In the next few Post we shall see what Allah Karim expects from those who are/will be MUFLIHOON (PEOPLE WHO ATTAIN THE HAPPY STATE/ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS WORLD AND HEREAFTER). It may be noted that the most of the qualities are common  because deeds required to become MUTAQEE, MOMIN or to be amongst the MUFLIHOON are same. Allah Karim Says in Quran:
O Believers ! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Sustainer [alone], 'and do good', so that you might attain to a happy state. AL-HAJJ (22) : 77.
Besides bowing down and prostrating what all 'good' is expected from mankind to attain happy state (FALAAH)? Lets see:
1.     To believe in [the existence of] that which is beyond the reach of human perception (YOMINNONA BILGHAIB).
2.     To be constant in prayer (YUQIMUNASALAT).
3.     To spend on others out of which Allah SWT has provided. (MIMA RAZAQNAHUM YUNFIQOON). 
4.     To believe in what has been revealed by Allah Karim on Prophets (YOMINNONA BIMAA UNZILA).
5.     To believe in life hereafter (BILAAKHIRAA HUM YOUQINOON).
AL-BAQARAH (2) : 3-4 
Each one of us can be; May we all be amongst the Muflihoon. Aameen.

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 19


سب تعریفیں صرف خدا وندِ قدوس کے لئے !

بے حد درود و سلام رسول اللھہ صل اللہ علیہ وسلم پر; اہلِ بیت ، آل، اصحاب اور جملہ زمینی اور  آسمانی اہل طاعت پر !

دعائیں سب کے لئے

In the Name of Allah Karim Who has illuminated the right path for mankind through His Prophet SAWS and what he SAWS brought: and that He SWT wants us to submit to Him using our reason:
And [thus it is:] had your Sustainer so willed, all those who live on earth would surely have attained to faith, all of them: do you, then, think that you could compel people to believe. Notwithstanding that no human being can ever attain to faith otherwise than by Allah's leave and it is He who lays the loathsome evil [of disbelief] upon those who will not use their reason. YUNUS (10) : 99-100.
and some more traits of Momineen are:
68.     They believe in Allah, His Apostle and Pledge of "ALAST". AL-HADID (57) : 8.
69.     They keep their gaze lowered and remain mindful of their chastity, and (women)  do not display their charm in public.     
70.     They can not be diverted from remembrance of Allah by any worldly commerce or gain.
 AN-NUR (24) : 30,31 and 38.
So far we have seen that traits which describe a Believer are attainable by all those who follow the Prophet SAWS and his teachings and that there is no requirement/need for any sectarian endeavor/approach whatsoever.

Innumerable more qualities can be derived from the Holy Book and each will denote that If we have the reason, we shall submit and will follow the right path without causing harm to ourselves and others. 

From next post we shall Inn Sha Allah see that whom Allah Karim grants the status of "Muflihoon".

May we all Believe to be amongst the MUFLIHOON. AAmeen.
