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.

TWO TALES ........ VERY PERTINENT TO US !

SALAM !

Once upon a time during the Movement for Independence 'WE WERE ALIVE'; we could think act, sacrifice and BE WHAT WE WANTED TO BE ....

During the 40s elections one Dr. Farooqi was running for the Assembly seat against whom Muslim League had fielded Nawab Muhammad Ismael. 

On the election day Begum Dr. Farooqi cast her vote in favour of ML candidate; she was confronted by the journos as to why she had not voted for her husband? The reply was "NATIONAL INTEREST OUTWEIGHS THE PERSONAL GAINS."  

ALAS TIMES HAVE CHANGED, NOW EVERY THING REVOLVES AROUND 'PERSONAL GAINS' ......... 

But lets close this story and go on to another one: (DERIVED)
■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I am distracted, thinking about myself, and fall inside. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, BUT THE ONES WHO DUG THAT HOLE THERE. I feel disgusted, I AM A VICTIM OF THE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF OTHERS.
■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I PRETEND I DON'T SEE IT, THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I FALL IN THERE AGAIN. I SHOULD HAVE LEARNT THE LESSON AND SENT SOMEONE TO CLOSE THE HOLE.
■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I see it. I KNOW IT IS THERE BECAUSE I FELL IN THERE TWICE. However, I am someone used to always take the same path. Due to that, I fall into the hole for the third time; it’s the habit.
■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I WALK AROUND IT.  Soon after I pass the hole, I hear someone yelling — he must have fallen into the hole. The street is closed and I can’t go on.
Lets Pray that someday :
■ I WALK ALONG THE STREET. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALK. I PUT A FENCE AROUND IT. I CAN GO ON MY WAY AND NO ONE WILL FALL IN THERE AGAIN. 

MAY BE .........



DUAIEN !

ISLAMIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM ...... AND WE?

SALAM !

Please join me in appreciating King AbdAllah Hashmi on donning the fatigues and springing into action on only one brutality ..... 

IT TOOK US AGES AND THOUSANDS INNOCENT LIVES TO DECIDE. {conspiracy theories are already in circulation where PEOPLE seem to be desirous of reaping a FAILURE}.

Read today [with amusement] the edict of Saudi Mufti, condemning the gory incident of burning alive of Jordanian Pilot and terming the action un-islamic.

YES Mr. Mufti and your ilk in Pakistan, EVERYTHING BEING DONE IS UN-ISLAMIC. Do our Political and Social Systems qualify to be called Islamic? 

Lets see {ONLY A GLIMPSE} what was the Political and Social System in vogue at the time of Rasoolulah SAWS and the righteous Caliphs RA:
System was based on the principle of EQUALITY. There was no class difference between the RULERS and the RULED.
Decisions were made after thorough consultation and sound advice.
Everyone had an equal right on the NATIONAL EXCHEQUER (BAIT-UL-MALL).
Rasululah SAWS and the Righteous Caliphs never claimed exemptions from any stipulation of the law or priority over any one ..... AND THE LAW  made no distinctions between the POOR and the RICH, BLACK and the WHITE, LEADER and the LED.
In the presence of Rasululah SAWS, Salman Farsi, Suhaib Rumi and Bilal Habshi RA enjoyed the same status as that of the Nobles of the Qureish and Ansaar RA. 
There was never a PROTOCOL, GUARDS and SECURITY for Rasululah SAWS and the Righteous Caliphs. Rasululah SAWS and his Caliphs would walk through the streets to help the needy, attend the sick and shower love and affection on the down trodden.
MUSLIMS, JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND THE PAGANS, ALL ENJOYED THE FREEDOM OF 'RELIGION OF THEIR CHOICE WITHOUT ANY COERCION', EXPRESSION, AND BUSINESS.



WHERE DO WE STAND IN COMPARISON?

PROBLEM DEAR MUSLIMS IS NOT WITH ISLAM ...... IT IS WITH MUSLIMS .....

WE MUST CHANGE IN OUR OWN INTEREST .... ELSE FEW MORE CENTURIES IS 'NO BIG DEAL' .....

DHERON DUAIEN !

DEPARTURE TO THE ETERNAL WORLD !

SALAM !

News item reads "JUSTICE NASIM HASAN SHAN PASSED AWAY"........

Every day scores of HAVEs, HAVE BEENs and HAVE NOTs proceed without any discrimination; 

Kings, Qazis, Leaders, Led, Rich, Poor, Old, Young, Male and Female all .......... 

As per the Decree of Allah Karim, "Everyone upon the earth will perish, And there shall remain only Allah SWT, Owner of Majesty and Honour." {55 : 26 -27}.

"Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." {2 : 156}.

AND RETURN WE MUST ...... But on the appointed day we would not be able to ARGURE, proffer ALIBIs and present JUSTIFICATION. 

The RULES OF THE GAME are very clear, 

"That Day, We will put seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to do." {36 : 65}. 

......... Hence we must act before it is too late .... We must heed to the warning :

"Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. No refuge will you have that day, nor for you will there be any denial." {42 : 47}

May we all ........ Aameen.

SO WHAT IF HE DIDN'T - PLANT YOUR OWN GARDEN !

SALAM .... 


A visit in the neighbourhood...discussions ...analysis....scan of few pages and the yied; couldn't resist sharing AS IT SEEMS VERY PERTINENT TO THE CONTEXT... 


"After a while {you learn} ...

The subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a Soul ...............

And learn that LOVE doesn't mean LEANING and COMPANY doesn't mean SECURITY ............

And begin to learn that KISSES aren't CONTRACTS and PRESENTS aren't PROMISES .....................

And begin to accept DEFEATS with HEAD UP and EYES OPEN, with the GRACE of an ADULT, not the GRIEF of a CHILD ............

And learn to build all the ROADS on TODAY because TOMORROW's ground is too uncertain for PLANS ...........

After a while you learn that even SUNSHINE BURNS if you get TOO MUCH .................

SO PLANT YOUR OWN GARDEN AND DECORATE YOUR OWN SOUL, INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING YOU FLOWERS.

And you learn that you REALLY CAN ENDURE .......



THAT YOU REALLY ARE STRONG .....



AND YOU REALLY DO HAVE WORTH.

FIGHTING AN IDEOLOGY ........ !

SALAM !

WE ARE AT WAR ..... CALL IT A WAR AGAINST AN IDEOLOGY, IF YOU WILL; 


YOU CAN BEAT AN 'IDEOLOGY' ... 

ONLY WITH AN 'IDEOLOGY' SUPERIOR AND APPEALING ...... 

.... AND YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULTS, IF YOU ARE: 

Confused, 

Suffer from a very serious deficiency in 'IFF' capability;

Working with and consulting 'THE IDEOLOGUES' who are the authors of ideology hurting and haunting you.




Though it is never too late yet what you are doing now should have been done at least a decade ago, as :

"There is nothing that can be changed more completely than human nature when the job is taken in hand early enough." SO YOU WILL HAVE TO STRUGGLE THAT HARDER .....


WE PRAY THAT MAY YOU HAVE ALLAH KARIM'S MERCY AND BLESSING WITH YOU, MAY YOU REMAIN STEADFAST, DISPLAY SINCERITY OF PURPOSE AND 'FINISH THE JOB' ...... BECAUSE .........خاکم بدہن .....

DHERON DUAIEN.

RUB OF THE GREEN !

SALAM !

2014 was a difficult 'COURSE' for many; especially the 'BACK HALF': 

Gusty and headwinds right through, 

Sweltering August, 

Squatting September, 

Oscillating October, 

Nagging November ...... and 

Devastating December.


RUB OF THE GREEN PING PONGING BETWEEN THE PROTAGONISTS !

"RUB OF THE GREEN". This idiom, in the parlance of Golf, conjures the KARMA of the Fairways, 

THE LUCK OF THE LINKS. 

A flubbed Shot ricochets off a tree; 

ONTO THE GREEN; 

TOWARD THE FLAG; 

INTO THE HOLE ......... 

Or a flawless Drive KICKS INTO THE ROUGH; 

DOWN A SLOPE; 

TOWARD A POND; 

INTO THE WATER .......... RUB OF THE GREEN.


2015 offers a new course, new opportunities to rectify the errors of 2014 'ON RANGE' and then on the Course. Rub of the Green phenomenon will be there AS ALWAYS.

JUST A WORD OF ADVICE :
If the Rub of the Green went your way; DON'T BE COMPLACENT, be more deliberate and methodical; sort out THE PROBLEMS before IT GOES THE OTHER WAY because it is the Rub of the Green.
 
 And if it didn't go your way, may be you require to go on the Drawing Board once again, don't lose heart; .... WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE 'RUB OF THE GREEN'.





DHERON DUAIEN ! That RUB OF THE GREEN ALWAYS GOES YOUR WAY.

2014 ENTERS THE ARCHIVE - 2015 TAKES POST !

WILL IT BE ANY DIFFERENT ?

SALAM ! Just few more minutes and 2014 shall be 'HISTORY' leaving behind  کہیں خوشی کہیں غم 

Trail of Terror, Tyranny, Turmoil and Toil.

Legacy of Struggle, Steadfastness and Sincerity of Purpose.

Streaks of Indifference, Intransigence and Ineptness.

Whatever had to happen, happened .... BUT IT IS READY TO BREATH ITS LAST .... SO LONG 2014. May we find the faculties to look back, infer, learn and rectify.

I WELCOME 2015 with this prayer :

ِربِ یَسِر و لا تُعَسِر و تَمِم بالخَیر و بِکَ نَستَعِینُ یا فتاحُ  یا فتاحُ یا فتاحُ

May Allah Karim's Blessings be the yield of every one. May Peace, Prosperity and Protection be the reward. May Piety, Patience and Promise be our resolve. AAMEEN.

We must, however, understand (as someone said) :
The world is a wonderfully weird place,
Consensual reality is significantly flawed,
No Institution can be trusted, 
 Certainty is a mirage,
SECURITY IS A DELUSION,  
And the tyranny of the dull mind ever threatens,
BUT OUR LIVES ARE NOT LIMITED AS WE THINK THEY ARE,
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,
LAUGHTER IS HOLIER THAN PIETY,
FREEDOM IS SWEETER THAN FAME,
AND IN THE END IT IS LOVE AND LOVE ALONE THAT REALLY MATTERS.

...... SO LETS MAKE  'LOVE' THE RESOLUTION OF 2015.

{My friend Arif Hameed Bhatti just sent me the greetings for 2015; allow me to share it with you} LETS HOPE THAT سال نہیں ھمارا حال بدلے گا ۔

نتیجہ پھر وہی ھو گا
سنا ھے سال بدلے گا

پرندے پھر وہی ھوں گے
شکاری جال بدلے گا 

بدلنا ھے تو دل بدلو
بدلتے کیوں ھو ہندسے کو

مہینے پھر وہی ھوں گے
وہی حاکم، وہی غربت
وہی قاتل، وہی غاصب

بتاو کتنے سالوں میں
ھمارا  حال بدلے گا؟

DHERON DUAIEN FOR 2015
