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.

LUQMAN ... AND ..... 'HUKAMRAANS' !

Salam & Duaien ....

Social Media today carries a satirical message which conveys "If you are done with all the diversionary ruses, answer the questions now"..... Period.


There was a man, Quran calls him 'LUQMAN'. Not a Prophet but exceptionally WISE and endowed with unlimited faculty to THINK and INFER... AbdAllah Ibne Omar RA narrated that Rasulullah SAWS said, 'Luqman was asked that if he wanted, he could be made the Ruler of the people in the land'... Luqman said 'O my Sustainer, if I have the discretion, shall decline because IT IS A GREAT TEST/TRUST I don't want to put myself in, but if it is YOUR WILL then I have no choice and SHALL LEAN ON YOUR MERCY TO GUIDE AND KEEP ME AWAY FROM MISTAKES'.

Was asked as to why he chose to decline? He said, The Ruler has the most onerous task at his hands. He is responsible for all the injustices/wrongs committed in the land; if he makes correct decisions and justice prevails ..... He is freed from the hell-fire but if he cannot deliver then the path to Paradise is lost forever .... AND THOSE WHO PREFER THIS WORLD ON WORLD HEREAFTER SHALL NEITHER GET THIS NOR FIND ANYTHING THERE.  

(Some friends insist that write-up should also have Urdu translation)... 



اگلے زمانوں میں ایک شخص تھے، قران انھیں لقمان کے نام سے یاد کرتا ہے۔ وہ نبی نہیں تھے لیکن اللہ کریم نے انھیں سوچنے، سمجھنے کی لا محدود اسطاعت اور بے حد حکمت سے نوازا تھا۔

حضرت عبداللہ ابنِ عمر رضی تعالی عنہ فرماتے ہیں کہ انھوں نے رسولِ پاک صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے سنا کہ لقمان کو کہا گیا کہ اگر وہ چاہیں تو انھیں حکمران بنا دیا جاے ۔  انھوں نے عرض کی "اے رب العالمین اگر تو مجھے عافیت دیتا ہے تو میں اس آزمائش سے بچوں گا لیکن اگر یہ تیرا حکم ہے تو میں حاضر ہوں اور ٓاس صورت میں تیرے کرم پر بھروسہ کرونگا کہ تو مجھے غلطیوں سے بچالے گا"۔

جب ان سے پوچھا گیا کہ انکار کیوں کیا تو انھوں نے فرمایا "حاکم کا کام سب سے زیادہ مشکل ہوتا ہے، اسے تمام مظلوموں کی داد رسی کرنا ہوتی ہے، انصاف کو یقینی بنانا ہوتا ہے اور ہر ظلم و زیادتی کا وہ ذمہ دار ہوتا ہے"۔ 

نجات کا دارومدار صحیح فیصلوں پر ہو گا اور غلط حکمرانی جنت کا راستہ ہمیشہ کے لیے گم کر دیتی ہے۔ جو حکمران اِس دنیا کو اُس دنیا پر فوقیت دے گا، اُسے نہ یہ دنیا ملے گی نہ آخرت میں کوی حصہ ہو گا۔۔  
 اللہ کریم سوچنے، سمجھنے اور عمل کی توفیق عطا فرماے ۔ آمین

DEPARTURE OF THE 'GREAT ONE' -1

When the great one was asked to put on uniform and go fighting :

"Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality…. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years."

After taking this stand and refusing to be drafted into the US Army, Ali was arrested, convicted as a felon, stripped of his boxing title, prohibited from boxing anywhere and given a prison sentence for refusing to go to Vietnam. He appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court where he won. 

This is the kind of selfless, courageous action we are sorely missing today. Who amongst us would risk EVERYTHING for what we believe in, for doing what we know in our hearts is right?

It's never too late.

(Thanks Micheal for sharing this wonderful piece of history)

DEPARTURE OF THE 'GREAT ONE' !

SALAM & DUAIEN !

All that lives on earth or in the heavens is bound to pass away.... And the Face of your Lord full of Majesty and Honor will abide forever. AR-RAHMAN (55) : 26-27. 

The one who used to fly, float, sting and sing "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN", has finally floated to the permanence. انا للہِ و انا الیہِ راجعون - Death is 'THE TRUTH' of this universe .... No one can escape. It comes to all, Good and Bad ... But it cannot kill the GOOD .... The GOOD Keeps 'FLOATING LIKE A BUTTERFLY' forever ... The GOOD has this faculty of 'ETERNITY' ... Good is rare ... It takes centuries for it to come around. ... It fights its way, attracts the respect, commands the emotions, conscience, and illuminates the path for generations to come. 

He the legend (Muhammad Ali) was a rarity, a one of a kind, irresistible, charming, showman and one of the greatest sportsmen ever, a philanthropist, a mediator, an ambassador for the downtrodden of the world ... He transcended all boundaries, Creed, Color and Class ... ALWAYS TRUE TO HIMSELF AND HIS CREATOR. 

Nothing deterred him to stand for what he thought was RIGHT .... "I AIN'T NO PROBLEM WITH VIETCONG" ... Jail and stripping away of Belt didn't mean any thing to him... Americans killed Iraqis; still are, yet Iraqis respected him and released the Americas on his appeal ... such was his aura...

He was a CHAMPION all the way ... Religion, World Stage,Boxing Rings or Parkinson bouts ... He defied odds ... Despite adversities and disease, he lived an envious and Blessed life.

Join me in praying MAY ALLAH SWT REWARD HIM WITH THE BEST THERE, WHERE HE HAS GONE... AAMEEN.

RIP CHAMP ! There would be many Champions but none like you ever ... YOU WERE UNIQUE OF THE UNIQUE.

OFFSHORE ERUPTIONS - INLAND IMPLOSIONS - 6

SALAM & DUAIEN !

The uproar created by PA-NA-MA leaks is refusing to die ....... The parliamentary committee, one thought, may be able to bring some unanimity to set the acceptable TORs ... but the News emerging says .... A DEADLOCK ...... One side says 'PA's' name must head the list, while other says NO WAY.

Let's leave the TORs and join me in praying for the ailing PM's successful surgery and recovery. 

We also must understand that a day shall arrive for all of us, right HERE, but if not here then definitely THERE; where no alibis shall work "On that Day We shall set a seal on their mouths but their hands will speak unto Us, and their feet will bear witness to whatever they have earned [in life]" YASIN (36) : 65). 

Here is an interesting story for all the wise guys, who feel that they can slither out of any hole ........    

A man purchased a box of very rare, very expensive cigars and insured them, among other things, against FIRE. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of cigars, he led a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, He stated the cigars were lost “in a series of small FIRES.” The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: he had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
He sued and won!
In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed that the claim was frivolous. He stated that the man nevertheless held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure against FIRE, without adequately defining what is considered to be an “UNACCEPTABLE FIRE,” and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeals process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid him the claim for the rare cigars he lost in the “FIRES.”
But...
After He cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on twenty-four counts of arson! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case used against him, He was convicted of intentionally setting FIRE to his insured property and was sentenced to twenty-four months in jail and double the amount of his earned claim as fine.
 MORAL ......

OFFSHORE ERUPTIONS - INLAND IMPLOSIONS - 5

SALAM & DUAIEN !

چشمِ حیرت سے انہی کو دیکھتی ہے کائنات
وقت کے دریا میں جو ہم نے بہاے ہیں چراغ

WE MUST 'VALUE' OUR 'VALUES' !
Let us stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way we want to be treated, and DOING THE THINGS THE WAY THOSE ARE PRESCRIBED.
THESE ARE THE TRADITIONAL VALUES WHICH MUST BE VALUED.
...... GAPS CAUSE LEAKS ........

چراغ بجھتے رہے اور خواب جلتے رہے
عجیب طرز کا موسم میرے وطن میں رہا

HE MUST HAVE KNOWN ABOUT PANAMA BUT CERTAINLY HAD NO CLUE ABOUT OFFSHORE COMPANIES !
Nelson Henderson (1864 – 1943) had exclaimed, ......................
"In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, its incomprehensible how there can be so many hungry children, so many children without an education, so many poor."


PANAMA LEAKS .... PRIME TIME TV .... اور یہ شعر ........
گھر جلا ہے یا دل جلا ہے کہیں
روشنی بے سبب نہیں ہوتی


AVERTING THE EVIL ... SPEAK UP !
"If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."



A GREEK PROVERB !
"Painless poverty is better than embittered wealth."

OFFSHORE ERUPTIONS - INLAND IMPLOSIONS - 4

Salam & Duaien ...

Seems time for Zarb-e-Makafa'at has arrived. All Karim warned :


"And if Allah were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving (living) creature on the surface of the earth, but He gives them respite to an appointed term, and when their term comes, then verily, Allah is Ever All Seer of His slaves."
FATIR (35) : 45.
اور اگر اﷲ لوگوں کو اُن اعمالِ (بد) کے بدلے جو انہوں نے کما رکھے ہیں (عذاب کی) گرفت میں لینے لگے تو وہ اس زمین کی پشت پر کسی چلنے والے کو نہ چھوڑے لیکن وہ انہیں مقررہ مدّت تک مہلت دے رہا ہے۔ پھر جب ان کا مقررہ وقت آجائے گا تو بیشک اﷲ اپنے بندوں کو خوب دیکھنے والا ہے
I wrote yesterday :
YOU ASKED ... THEY OBLIGED !
Well the charity begins at home ... AND THERE IT IS ... This has been the norm always ... Accountability within has been the hall mark of Armed Forces ... Unprecedented is the fact that how these have been made public ... Why? Because after Kohat statement Ravens had started crowing ... 'Start it from your back yard' ...
Answer; watch the Media ...
It was always there ... Now the public too knows it ...
WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW???
چند اشعار جو پچھلے کچھ دنوں سے میرے فیس بک صفحے پر ہیں

دھوپ سے جن کو گلہ ہے کہ جلا ڈالے گی
اپنے اندر کے اندھیروں سے نہ باہر دیکھیں



خود کو یوں محصور کر بیٹھا ہوں اپنی ذات میں
منزلیں چاروں طرف ہیں راستہ کوی نہیں




بات بے بات اٹھا دیتا ہے اک چھیڑ نیئ
پڑ گیا ہے اسے چسکا مجھے تڑپانے کا




تیز ہوا اور نازک مکیں !
ہم ہی آہوں سے نہیں ہار کے ناچار گرے
آندھیاں جب بھی چلی ہیں کئ اشجار گرے

پھر وہی خواب ، وہی طوفاں وہی دو آوازیں
جیسے در پہلے گرے بعد میں دیوار گرے

OFFSHORE ERUPTIONS - INLAND IMPLOSIONS - 3

SALAM & DUAIEN !

Jolts for the Panama Pirates continue world over .... Game of Chess has started ... Plans are being hatched .... Moves to do and undo are afoot .... Those who know are simmering and those who do not know are looking around to find out .... Intensity is increasing ..... Perceptions are changing ..... REALITY MAY BE LURKING AROUND.

Few more thoughts :

PRIDE - GLORY - FORTUNE
“When you see a man elated with pride;
Glorying in his riches and high descent;
Rising even above fortune;
LOOK OUT FOR HIS SPEEDY PUNISHMENT;
for he is only raised THE HIGHER THAT HE MAY FALL WITH A HEAVIER CRASH.”

IMPURE WEALTH ..... LEAKS

A Saying goes, “Unsullied poverty is always happy, while IMPURE WEALTH BRINGS WITH IT MANY SORROWS."
All property which comes to hand by means of violence, or infamy, or baseness, however large it may be, IS TAINTED
..... On the other hand, whatever is obtained by honest profit, small though it be, brings a blessing with it.

WEALTH - WISDOM - WORTH
Which category the Panama Pirates shall fall into, measured as per following Chinese proverb?
“When the man of a naturally good propensity has much wealth IT INJURES HIS ADVANCEMENT IN WISDOM.
When a worthless man has much wealth, IT INCREASES HIS FAULTS.”

  حاصل اگر ہوئ بھی ہے تو حاصل نہیں ہے کچھ
بے   اعتبار   چیز   ہے   دنیا   کہیں   جسے
