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.

اینَ ما تکُونُو یُدرِککمُ الموت ۔ ۔ ۔

سلام اور دعائیں ۔ ۔ ۔

کافی دن بیت گئے ، کچھ سرزد نہیں ہوا ۔ ۔ لکھنے کو بہت کچھ ہے لیکن دیکھنے اور سننے سے ہی فرصت نہیں مل پا رہی۔ آج لیکن ایک جوانمرگ نے تڑکے ہی بیٹھنے پر مجبور کر دیا۔ مخلص و محبی علامہ مسعود عالم خان نیازی کے جواں سال بھانجے اسرار خان نیازی کی ناگہانی موت نے انتہای افسردہ کیا۔ مرحوم زندگی سے بھرپور جوان تھا۔ اپنائیت اور احترام اس کے انگ انگ سے امڈتا تھا۔ اُس کا ’چاچو‘ کہہ کر پکارنا، محبت کا ایک جہاں اپنے اندر سموے ہوے ہوتا تھا۔ ابھی کل ہی کی بات لگتی ہے کہ وہ بھائیوں کے ساتھ زید بیٹے کی شادی پر آیا ہوا تھا اور لگتا تھا کہ سارے پنڈال میں موجود ہے، یہاں فوٹو سیشن وہاں قہقہوں کی بوچھاڑ ۔ ۔ ۔ بسنتِ حضرتِ غالب جی پکار رہا ہے کہ "تُم کون سے ایسے تھے کھرے داد و ستد 
کے ۔ ۔ ۔ "۔



اللہ کریم مرحوم کی مغفرت فرماے اور پسمانگان و خاندان کو صبرِ 
جمیل اور حسنات و شکرانہ کی توفیق۔

موت اٹل سچ  ہے ۔احساس و یادِ موت  صراطِ مستقیم کا مسافر بنا سکتے ہیں۔ احساس یہ کہ ہم سب راہِ فنا پر رواں ہیں، ہر لمحہ قریب سے قریب تر لے جا رہا ہے منزلِ فنا کے۔ اور یاد یہ کہ ایک دن سب اپنوں کی قربت سے بہت دور ہم بھی کسی گڑھے میں اُتر جائیں گے۔

اس دنیا میں موت کی کشتی ہمیں ہماری ہی حرص کی ہواوں اور لالچ کے بادبانوں سے ہماری غلط و صحیح امیدوں کے سمندر میں لئے پھر رہی ہےاور پھر کوی بہانہ بنے گا جیسے اسرار بیٹے کے لیے بجلی کا کرنٹ بذریعہ فرشی پنکھااور یہ ہمیں موت کے گہرے پانیوں میں غوطہ دے کر آگے بڑھ جاے گی۔

عزیزان، اللہ کریم احساس، علم اور عمل کی بسرعت توفیق عطا فرماے کیونکہ ہماری قبر کی تاریکیاں ہمارے اجسام کو اپنی آغوش میں لینے کو ہر دم تیار ہیں۔ کہیں دیر نہ ہو جاے کہ ہم اپنی غفلتوں میں گُم اور اپنی خواہشات کے نشے میں مست ہوں اور موت اپنا  وار کر    جاے۔ موت کا کارندہ ہر وقت پکار رہاہے:۔

اینَ ما تکُونُو یُدرِککمُ الموت ۔ ۔ ۔ 
تُم جہاں کہیں ہو موت تمھیں آ لے گی۔ النسا:۷۸


ایک دفعہ پھر اسرار بیٹےکے لئے دعاے مغفرت اور علامہ مسعود عالم اور اہلِ خاندان سے دلی تعزیت۔

PERSEVERANCE IS THE KEY . . .

Salam and best wishes ...

Friends, fast lanes are generally the most crowded, smooth sailing is just an expression and plans are intact till one puts them to practice . . . THAT IS LIFE.

Yesterday I received a call from a young man, who is a Lawyer, a Researcher, a Writer ... Owns a Website ... A Vibrant and Dynamic gentleman. He sounded pessimistic and depressed, his spot of bother was that he as a routine loses motivation and focus on the projects in hand ... Distractions could be varied, some Attraction, Infatuation, Temptation...Result, sudden lack of interest and then again a fresh start on some other venture.

We discussed in details the WHYs and deliberated upon the HOWs, finally agreeing that, 'Perseverance was the Key' ... and that the Penchant for PERSEVERANCE can be attained through:-
  • Knowledge. Both general and specific, of the subject and surroundings, needs and tools, teams and versatility, time and space, patience and stamina. Magic Wands and Short Cuts are illusions. Talk needs Walk. Knowledge, therefore, must be acquired, Knowledgeable must be respected and Faculties required for acquisition of Knowledge must be honed. 
  • Faith. Self, Staff and Skills ... Above all in someone Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Sustainer ... both by word of mouth and from the depth of both states, Conscious and Unconscious.
  • Matrix. Decision must flow from thorough debate, analysis, inferences and prudence. Objective must never be lost sight of ... Maintainability of Aim depends upon resolve, problem solving, bypassing/negotiation of hurdles, happy team, acceptance of occasional break-downs, allowance for the unforeseen, and  last but not the least ... relegation of 'Trumpy Instincts' in favour of sincerity of purpose.

Depression is a state which kills positivity, abhors flexibility, hates out-of-box thought, switches off all the faculties of problem solving and beams on a mesmerising dot ... It can be avoided and must be avoided.

From a combination of ancient wisdom and more recent scientific research, Deepak derived his 10 keys to happiness:
1) Be aware of your body. Your body is a cosmic computer of universal intelligence. Listen to your body's messages of comfort and discomfort, and you'll spontaneously be able to make the right choices.
2) Live in the present moment. Don't attach yourself to anything or anticipate events. Just go with the flow, and you will connect to the domain of consciousness called nirvana.
3) Embrace silence. Meditate and observe your breath. The silence space between your thoughts is a field of infinite possibilities.
4) Relinquish your need for external approval. Be free of both criticism and flattery. Feel neither superior or inferior to anyone.
5) Get rid of your toxic emotions. Having a grievance is like drinking poison and thinking it will kill your enemy. Let go of your hostilities and anger.
6) Have complete knowledge of yourself. The world is a mirror of your state of consciousness. Ask yourself, "Who am I? What do I want?"
7) Don't judge others and don't judge yourself. Wake up and be thankful for being exactly as you are. Say to yourself, "Today, I will judge nothing that occurs." Forgive your shadows and the shadows of others.
8) Remove toxins from your life. Toxic substances, food, habits, emotions, work, relationships, environments, etc. It only creates imbalance in our lives.
9) Replace fear-based thinking with love-based thinking. Every time you're making a choice, ask yourself if it's going to cultivate the experience of unity and love or the experience of separation and stress.
10) Witness your awareness. Witness yourself as if in a movie. This means that you realize you're not your body or your mind; you are the alert witness to your consciousness.

گُڑھے ہوے لوگوں کی زندہ باتیں ۔ ۔ ۔

سلام و دعا

پرانے لوگ، لوک ریتیں، اور اُن کے حکمت بھرے ’اکھان‘ وقت کی قید سے آذاد اور کامران زندگی کی کنجیاں اپنے اندر سموے ہوے ہیں ۔

جہڑا ’جایاں‘ دا نئیں او ’آیاں‘ دا کنج ہو سکدا اے۔

ڈوھگے پانی وچ وڑسو تے ’غوطے‘ تے آوسن۔

صرف اپنی ’کھاری‘ دا ہوکا دیو۔

ٹرمپاں دا ’سو‘ ستاں ویہاں دا ہوندا اے۔

گھر سرپھاو اپنا تے چور کسے نوں ناںھ سدو۔

ہتھاں نال پایاں ہویاں، دنداں نال کھولنیاں پیندیاں نے۔

جنہاں کھادیاں گاجراں، ڈھڈ اُنہاں دے پیڑ۔

ٹھڈا گھڑا آپے چھاویں رکھویندا اے۔

سدا دیہوں ہکا جیہے نہیں رہندے۔

جَو گڈ کے تےکنک دی امید رکھدے او ۔ ۔ ۔ جھلے تے نیئں او۔

سدا بادشاہی ’صرف‘ سوہنے رب دی۔

LOOK INWARD - BEAUTY IS RIGHT THERE 'IN YOU'

Prayers for all.

Envy, Jealousy, Imitation, Blind Following, Inferiority Complex, Frustation....... think of 'all the crest falling stuff' and there we are; most of the human beings jumbled together. 

We actually find no time to look inside us "The Ocean of Beauty, Love and Piety" there is, longing for a PEEP and most of us SOMEHOW FAIL TO GENUINELY APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND LOVE SCATTERED IN THE UNIVERSE IN ITS DIVERSITY.  

While doing my daily chorus I came across this beautiful description :
'Beauty exists not in sameness but in difference.
Who could imagine a giraffe without its long neck or a cactus without its spines? 
The irregularity of the mountain peaks that surround us is what makes them so imposing. If we tried to make them all the same, they would no longer command our respect.

It is the imperfect that astonishes and attracts us.
When we look at a cedar tree, we don’t think: ‘The branches should be all the same length.’ We think: ‘How strong it is.’

When we see a snake, we never say: ‘He is crawling along the ground, while I am walking with head erect.’ We think: ‘He might be small, but his skin is colorful  his movements elegant, and he is more powerful than me.’

When the camel crosses the desert and takes us to the place we want to reach, we never say: ‘He’s humpbacked and has ugly teeth.’ 
We think: ‘He deserves my love for his loyalty and help. Without him, I would never be able to explore the world.’

A sunset is always more beautiful when it is covered with irregularly shaped clouds, because only then can it reflect the many colors out of which dreams and poetry are made.
Pity those who think: ‘I am not beautiful. That’s why Love has not knocked at my door.’ In fact, Love did knock, but when they opened the door, they weren’t prepared to welcome Love in.

They were too busy trying to make themselves beautiful first, when, in fact, they were fine as they were. 
They were trying to imitate others, when Love was looking for something original.

They were trying to reflect what came from outside, forgetting that the brightest light comes from within.'

TRUE PEACE WITHIN...

Prayers for all.

Peace of mind and soul..... and peace in the world has been 'THE NEED' since ages, few managed to possess it, others endeavored but could not attain it and yet some more got compromised by different temptations and pursuits. 

MANTRA goes on - but peace remains a dream - both inner and worldly.

One important fact though merits realization that, everything around us is merely a reflection of what is happening within us, individually and collectively. If each one of us focuses on the peace within, working zealously to achieve it and radiating it powerfully; the world around us will definitely be 'infected' with the CHANGE we all brought to our inner-selves. Someone has so aptly said : 
"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."
Question arises, how to find the true peace within? Few which come to mind are :
-     Being answerable to ourselves and the ONE WHO IS OUR CREATOR - and if we do that there is a promise of a great reward "But for such as fear the time when they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord, there will be two Gardens" AL-RAHMAN (55 : 46).
 -    Continuos remembrance of Allah Karim can make us conscious of His omni-presence so that we shall fear the time of standing in front of Him and peace will be our possession. He Says in Quran "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." AR-RA'AD (13 : 28).
-     Total Submission (تسلیم و رضا). We should do our thing and then submit to Allah for whatever we have or we don't.......Life will be filled with peace. Allah SWT Says "And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion." AL-TALAAQ (65 : 2-3).
-     Deeds and Deals (معمولات اور معاملات). If we do and deal with everything of life and everyone in life correctly, peace is guaranteed because Allah Says "Is there any Reward for Good - other than Good? "AL-RAHMAN (55 : 60).
Many more can be added but let us resolve to make a sincere effort to bring peace to ourselves by doing the things as the Creator of the Universe wants us to do..............WE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO PEACE OVERALL WHICH WE ALL YEARN FOR.

SHARE LOVE......MORE YOU WILL RECEIVE BACK

Prayers for all !

I saw a Face Book Status Update of a friend which read "When the POWER OF LOVE overcomes the LOVE OF POWER the world will know peace."

It is good - isn't it? 

Contains a powerful message.

Question, however, arises :
Is it possible to live your life from an inner wellspring of love, compassion and forgiveness? 
It is..... 
If you stay connected to the deeper, wiser, more loving part of you; 
If you hold an inner knowing that you are whole, complete and brilliant no matter what others do or say; 
And  if you take responsibility for your own self-love, security, and inner peace.
When you become aware of the limitless flow of Divine love within you........ 

Not only do you feel joyful and free.................. 

But you are also eager to share that love with others ....

Because you know that the more you give away, the more you will receive back. 

UNLEASH THE POWER OF LOVE.

BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Prayers for all.

We are here in this mortal world for a specified term. 
Our life span can be small but beautiful and long yet miserable. 
After-all what is that which makes our lives beautiful or miserable? 
I came across following and think that there is a point in there :

A life need not be great to be beautiful.
There may be as much beauty in a tiny flower as in a majestic tree;
In a little gem as in a great jewel.
A life may be very lovely and yet be insignificant in the world’s eyes.

A beautiful life is one that fulfills its mission in this world;
That is what God made it to be;
And does what God wants it to do.

Those with only commonplace gifts are in danger of thinking;
That they cannot live a beautiful life;
That they cannot be a blessing in this world.

Remember that the smallest life that fills its place well is beautiful in God’s sight.

Wishing every one a beautiful life.

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?
