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.

..........NO HALF MEASURES



  3. I FOUND THIS TODAY - ANY BUYERS?

    IF YOU’RE NOT ALL IN, YOU’RE NOT IN AT ALL.

    There’s something inspiring about knowing that you are going to die soon. That you are dying right now. It’s scary. But it inspires focus.

    It demands action, priority, and extreme behavior.

    You’re suddenly “all in”.

    Because you have to be. Life demands it. You die if you don’t fight with every fiber of your soul.

    It’s suddenly obvious. You can’t be kinda “in”. Or kinda sorta “in”. You are “in” or you are “out”.

    That’s it. The only choice.

    Everything else appears to be a choice. But it’s just your brain’s way of protecting you – by lying to you.

    If you want to be “in” all you need to do is act like it:

    Show up even when it hurts.

    Focus fiercely on the only thing that matters.

    Take extreme measures to make change happen.

    The difference is you. Your intensity. Your relentlessness.

    Your unapologetic quest for answers and better results.

    When you act that way, you’re guaranteed to do something incredible.

    Because you’re “all in”.

    Are you?

EXALTED STANDARD OF CHARACTER - خلقِ عظیم
1:19 PM

EXALTED STANDARD OF CHARACTER - خلقِ عظیم



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 !

 My last Face Book Status update read "LET US BE NICE AND KIND ALWAYS - THAT EXHIBITS OUR SELF RESPECT; as somebody said : "There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity." SHOULDN'T WE ?" It got 'likes' and good comments and especially this one "It is nothing but sunna" inspired me to pen down this Post.

Allah SWT describes His Apostle SAWS as خلقِ عظیم in Holy Quran:
And you (stand) on an exalted standard of character [خلقِ عظیم]. AL-QALAM {68} : 4.
Allama Muhammad Asad RA in his 'The Message of Quran (page -883) explains the term as "describing a person's character, innate disposition or nature in the widest sense of these concepts, as well as habitual behavior which becomes as it were, one's "second nature" as a way of life.' He SAWS being the best model to emulate let us see some of the salient features we must learn to be amongst his true followers:
Prophet SAWS being on an exalted standard of character, we learn from Him sound morals and good character. We learn the value of being truthful, honest and trust worthiness. He never lied, cheated and always kept his promise even at the peril of His and companions life (remember few stipulations of Hudaibiya?), that is why He was known as AS-SADIQ and AL-AMEEN. He emphasized the importance of being truthful 'TRUTHFULNESS GUIDES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS GUIDES TO PARADISE'.
He SAWS was never arrogant and displayed rare humility always. He never looked down on anyone and was ever Allah-Conscious. He was extremely kind, patience was one of the greatest virtues of his personalty and he possessed great tolerance. He never got angry whatever the circumstances. An ever-present smile was part of his disposition. Any one who came across him instantly fell in love with him. People loved both 'THE MAN MUHAMMAD' and 'THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD'. He himself liked to teach and asked others to do the same 'THE BEST AMONGST YOU IS HE WHO LEARNS AND TEACHES'.
We see in Him the great faculties of 'PERSEVERANCE' and 'UNTIRING STRUGGLE'. He taught us not to indulge in 'PASSIVE ACCEPTANCE' and 'GIVING UP'. 
He taught us to accept the fate as Allah Willed without ever stopping to wade through the difficult times with hard work, conviction and gratitude. 
He taught everyone to live upright, doing the things with the best possible sincerity of purpose and ability. He taught us that for doing our things we require no supervision as we have two supervisors, ourselves and Allah SWT.
He told his followers categorically 'NOT TO HARM OTHERS IN WORD OR DEED - HELP OTHERS ALL THE TIMES'. He SAWS said "IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY, THEN KEEP QUITE AND CONTROL YOUR TONGUE BECAUSE WORDS CAN CAUSE A GREAT DEAL OF HARM". He also said "WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN ALLAH SWT AND THE LAST DAY, LET HIM SAY SOMETHING THAT IS GOOD OR HE SHOULD KEEP QUITE". At another place He said "A MUSLIM IS HE FROM WHOM ANOTHER INCURS NO HARM THROUGH WORD OR DEED'.

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
9:54 PM

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.........
10:38 PM

..... 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
4:05 PM

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
4:32 PM

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.
