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.

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION


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 !

(Prime Time News Bulletin at Nine pm has almost two third of its time devoted to LEAD NEWS of Death and Destruction - not by avowed enemies but by own people)

Just to remind myself and my friends that a DAY is CERTAIN to come WHEN:
The scrolls are laid open;
The world on High is unveiled;
The Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
And when the Garden is brought near;
 (Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
AT-TAKWIR (81) : 10-14.
All believers subscribe to the faith which states unequivocally THAT DAY IS CERTAIN TO ARRIVE but what is happening day in day out suggests that most of us think 'it is not going to happen as far as we are concerned.' A clear affliction with "NOT ME SYNDROME".  Death and destruction is the game being played without any fear of backlash here and accountability THERE. People on duty in uniform, with a camera and pen, with books in hands, standing on the pulpit, walking and travelling on the road and sitting in their houses all are being subjected to or are in danger of 'the lurking death.' The end is nowhere insight and direction too is very hazy.

Faculty of Intuition or (KASHAF AS IT IS CALLED IN SPIRITUAL WORLD) is possessed by all human beings but few have more than others. I was just going through SUKHAN DR SUKHAN by WASIF ALI WASIF and came across following, written long before TODAY though seem to be written on obtaining conditions in the country:
دیدہ وروں نے اس کو بنایا ھے امیرِ شہر
تھا جس کی چشمِ کور میں پتھر جڑا ھوا

کس کس سے تعزیت کا فریضہ ادا کروں
ھر آدمی کے سر پہ ھے کتبہ گڑا ھوا

توڑے گا کون وقت کے ظالم جمود کو
اھلِ ھنر کے لب پہ ھے تالا پڑا ھوا

قاتل بھی یار تھے مرے مقتول بھی عزیز
واصف میں اپنے آپ میں نادم بڑا ھوا

دعا اور دوا دونوں کی ضرورت ھے !

..... BUT WILL ABIDE FOR EVER THE FACE OF YOUR LORD.........



All praises for Allah Karim;  Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' !

Darood-o-Salam on Prophet [SAWS] because Allah Karim  ordained us to do that !

Peace upon Prophet [SAWS]'s family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Very sincere prayers for everyone !

With the Name of Allah SWT Who pronounced:
All that is on earth will perish. But will abide (for ever) the Face of your Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honor. AL-RAHMAAN (55) : 26-27.
انا لللە و انا الیە راجعون ! and sits therein one of the greatest inferences to live the life fully whatever it may contain because 'transfer' back to celestial world is the only undebatable fact in this mortal world. One more 'from the pack' left today to meet the Creator; 
لا مکاں کے لئے عروسِ حیات
موت کے بھیس میں نکلتی ھے

Colonel Shafiq Anwar with evergreen smile and very expressive eyes sits right opposite me while I pen down these lines, I can spot a little 'mischievous' expression 'enjoy pal for as long as you can' but 'DON'T FORGET FOR A MOMENT' that you have an appointment and interview where there shall be no room for lies and no place to hide-PREPARE FOR THAT HARD. Never for a moment take your eyes off from this fact, don't you see how-many of us have preceded you?
زندگی تجھ سے امیدِ وفا کیا رکھوں
جب مجھے چھوڑ گئے دوست پرانے میرے

Join me in beseeching Allah Karim that He in His Infinite Mercy Makes Jannah the permanent abode of Shafiq, other friends and all believers. May He Grant patience to his family and resolve to be a SUSTAINED AND EVER FLOWING RIVER OF VIRTUES AND GOOD DEEDS to be a 'SADQA-E-JARIA' for him.....and May He give us the foresight, devotion, strength to act and faculty to be true to ourselves and All Almighty AND WE PREPARE ADEQUATELY FOR THE APPOINTMENT. Aameen.
لے گئں جانے کہاں گرم ھوائیں ان کو
پھول سے لوگ جو دامن میں صبا رکھتے تھے

WA LA TAFFARAQU - 22


All praises for Allah Karim;  Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' !

Darood-o-Salam on Prophet [SAWS] because Allah Karim  ordained us to do that !

Peace upon Prophet [SAWS]'s family, company, successors and those who follow his path.

Very sincere prayers for everyone !

With the Name of Allah SWT and His Message we start again:
Do they not reflect in their own minds? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection). AL-ROOM [30] : {8}.
......And who can deny the fact that most of the mankind refuses to reflect; last few weeks have been business 'as usual'. Ghastly strike at Quetta again, acts of terror at other places in the country, hectic activity at the Apex Court, frenzied political maneuvering, new alliances being forged and old ones 'bursting at the seams', frustration by Sheikh-ul-Islam, 'Dharnas and Dharni' Routes and Traffic Jams and bursting clouds; all have been there BUT STILL NO RAY OF HOPE AS FAR AS "REFLECTING, INFERRING AND CORRECTING' is concerned. Pray we start doing that BEFORE IT REALLY BECOMES TOO LATE.

Back to  our series 'WA LA TAFFARAQU' let's see few more traits of Muflihoon:
12.     They do their duty towards Allah SWT.
13.     They seek the means of approach (WASEELA) to Allah SWT.
14.     They strive with might and main in the cause of Allah SWT.
15.     They abhor Intoxicants and Gambling.
16.     They do not make dedication to stones.
17.     They do not indulge in divination through arrows.
 AL-MAAIDA [5] : {35 and 90}.
.........TO MAKE A SINCERE ENDEAVOR TO BE ONE IS IN OUR OWN INTEREST; LET US DO IT !

BEST WISHES FOR SUCCESS. 

AKHTAR N JANJUA.

BE WITH THOSE WHO ARE TRUE IN WORD AND DEED


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 has ordained in Quran:
O you who believe! Fear Allah Karim and be with those who are true (in word and deed). AT-TAWBA (9) : 119.
We masses keep lamenting that we were never taken as genuine stake holders in shaping, making and running the 'Governance and its Methodology' in the State of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Most of the times we had no option to choose the people who played with destiny of the State, its resources and its populace. We must admit though, that whenever chances came our way to express our opinion for choosing the 'RIGHT STUFF' we were not very objective. Generally most of us fell for the name, fame, glitter, sloganeering, rhetoric, sensationalism, propaganda, hollowed and shallow promises. 

On the other hand insatiable greed, self serving lust for power, no holds barred corruption, nepotism, zero risk accountability and a very conspicuous shortsightedness has characterized our leadership. We as a nation have been greeting all TURN TAKERS with sweets and garlands and then shoeing them off with boos only to garland another Vampire.  RESULT - INCOMPETENCE KEPT BREEDING INCOMPETENCE and WE ARE THERE WHERE AS A NATION WE ARE. 

We may get yet another chance to 'EXPRESS OUR OPINION' this year. Lets be objective in forming our opinion, valuing it while expressing and following it with genuine evaluation. We should elect those who posses the vision, have the urge to deliver, bare a clean sheet, are motivated to 'do their thing for this State and its people'. Such leadership is likely to carry the Nation ahead and will be conscientious enough to work for fulfilling its promises as Karl Von Clausewitz had said:
If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.
LET'S DECIDE TO BE WITH THOSE WHO SHALL BE TRUE IN WORD AND DEED HAVING RESOLVE TO TAKE THE NATION OUT OF THE HOLE IT IS STUCK IN.

AIM - WHAT IT SHOULD BE?


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 !

Pakistani Parliament is completing its prescribed tenure latest by 15 March 2013. Expectancy for Elections and a CHANGE is there in the air. Political Parties, Leaders, Analysts, Courts and (to some extent) Masses too are talking, hoping and gesturing. Election Commission is busy telling the aspirants to get their Parties registered, hold intra party elections and complete all relevant details to stand eligible for "GETTING IN THE RING".

Public gatherings, membership drive and preparation for Manifestoes is the 'ORDER OF THE DAY' but what should be aimed? Just to be in the seat of Power or something else too? I came across following worth a read:
It is important that aim must never be defined in terms of activity or method. It must always relate directly as to how LIFE IS BETTER FOR EVERYONE. The aim of the System must be clear to everyone in the System. THE AIM MUST INCLUDE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
THE AIM MUST BE A VALUE JUDGEMENT.

SOMETHING OR SOMEONE? ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ھوے ھم جو مر کے رسوا



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 !


Conformism definitely brings  'cares' and 'elevation' (on merit/otherwise) while keeping pleased the powers that are; but kills internally because we have to behave like 'something' and not 'someone'.........................And when someday we start 'breathing' again we find no buyers and incur ridicule from all corners including those for whom we had gone overboard to conform with   -   Result: further degradation.

That deeply reflecting man known as Khalil Gibran had said "NEVER MIND IF OTHERS LOOK DOWN ON YOU - BUT WHEN YOU START LOOKING DOWN ON YOURSELF YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A DEEP TROUBLE AT HAND".

.....................WHY WE ORDINARY MORTALS LAG BEHIND THE TIME THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES?

MOVE-ON



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 !

I heard a dialogue today which is worth a note:
A distressed young man walks up to his older friend and tells him his problem "Man I am in a real mess. I love my job and my wife too. My wife left her country to marry me. My job mostly keeps me 'on the road' and now my wife wants me to quit and be at home" Oh I see, sighs the barbecuing friend "I also faced similar problem but we reached a compromise".  Did you quit the job asked the young man? "No; I retained the job and my wife divorced me". "What should I learn from this? Asked the young man  "Learn what I learnt said the experienced friend" ..........and what was that? MOVE-ON that is - which I learnt and you must too.
MORAL: MOVE-ON. We must live our lives fully, taking chances, being crazy if required. No one should wait cause right now we are the oldest we have ever been & the youngest we will be ever again.

MOVE-ON.
