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.

حکمران اور عوام ۔۔۔
6:06 PM

حکمران اور عوام ۔۔۔



(مندرجہ ذیل کہانی کا تعلق پاکستان میں پچھلے ستر سالوں میں رونما ہونے والے کسی واقعے، کسی سانحے، طرزِ حکمرانی، نظامتی بیابانی سے بالکل نہیں ہے)۔

اگلے زمانوں کی بات ہے ۔ ۔ ۔

ایک مسافر گھر سے رواں ہوا، زادِ راہ اور کچھ مال ساتھ تھا۔ 

رات آی رین بسیرے کے لئے رکا ۔۔ 

نیند نے آ دبوچا ۔۔۔ چور مال لے گئے ۔۔

جاگا تو دیکھا خود تھا ، مال نہیں تھا ۔۔

واویلا کرتے ہوے حکمران کے دروازے پر دستک دی ۔۔۔ باریابی ہوی ۔۔۔ لٹنے کی داستان  بیان کی۔۔۔

حکمران نے  انتہای غصے میں کہا :-

احمق انسان  تم کیسے سو گئے؟

سائل نے دست بستہ عرض کی :-

حضور معافی کا خواستگار ہوں، میری غلط فہمی تھی کہ، 

“میرے سونے سے فرق نہیں پڑتا کیونکہ آپ جاگ رہے ہیں”۔

BE THE MOUNTAIN . . .
12:12 AM

BE THE MOUNTAIN . . .

Salam and Duaien ...

We encounter people who are repulsive, who take deliberate pride in causing hurt, grief and misery ... Their tongues are sharper than swords and deadlier than the death ... They forget that, 'The most destructive of weapons is not the spear or the siege cannon, which can wound a body and demolish a wall. The most terrible of all weapons is the word, which can ruin a life without leaving a trace of blood, and whose wounds never heal'.


What should be done to such people, Revenge?

Make them pay for what they did to us? 

Fair enough, if we do that because it's all part of the normal reaction to relational pain. 

We’ve all been there ...

We’ve all struggled with the devil that tries to convince us that 'we are ENTITLED to belittle the lives of those who belittled ours'.  
But experience tells us that all of those times we have tried to ‘even the score', we didn’t actually feel better in the end. 


A day comes where we look back and say 'we shouldn't have played the *getting even* game'. We feel worse that we had let our need for revenge hijack our normally compassionate hearts. 

The people on the other side of the fence didn't realise the hurt they caused but our reaction may actually validate to them that we were worth attacking. Not the goal we aim for.


So the prudent advice could be ...

Another person’s actions are about THEM, not us. There is an INSECURITY inside of them that we CANNOT FIX. 
Confidence is quiet. Insecurity is LOUD.

So we have to make the decision ...
To let it GO, or make them PAY? 
Respond LOUDLY, staying in their lane or quietly let them pass on by?
By letting them pass and turning ourselves in a different direction, we can choose to take our heart out of their firing range. It is our way back to sanity and away from trying to correct someone else’s character – because we CAN’T ... So

FORGIVE AND FORGET - DIFFICULT THOUGH BUT DOABLE 

Here is the TRUTH ... 

We are not in charge of the harsh words that come out of another person’s mouth, or the ill-mannered actions that are created by another person’s heart.
We are in charge of how we handle the ripple of time after the incident. 
We are responsible for where we direct our energy. If we take the hours away from our life to ruminate over that person’s words, we are giving them power that would likely be pretty satisfying for them. Are they worth it?

So we should Stand up ... Turn around ... Walk away the Other Way.

We must respect our own heart enough not to let it be damaged any more by revenging or arguing with people who have a crack in their souls that needs to be filled ... THAT is up to them.


Last and definitely not the LEAST ...

OUR ENERGIES MUST BE SPENT IN POSITIVE PURSUITS ... THERE ARE LOT OF LIGHTS REQUIRED TO BE LIT. LET US REKINDLE THE EXTINGUISHED LIGHTS AND BLOW THEM INTO A BIGGER FLAME ... 

LET US BE THE MOUNTAINS ... WHO WEATHER THE STORMS AND BLIZZARDS AND STILL STAND TALL ... AND ... NOT THE BURROWS WHICH INHABIT RODENTS AND POISONOUS SNAKES AND OVERFLOW BY DROPS ...

2018 ... AND ... 2019 !
7:10 PM

2018 ... AND ... 2019 !

Salam o Dua ...

Every 'Beginning' has an 'End' ... But ...

'Will abide (for ever) the Face of Allah Karim - full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour'.
(AL-RAHMAN (55) : 26-27)

2018 is breathing its last; its arrival was greeted with hope and its departure should merit a review and introspection.  It saw another administration completing its tenure, Demon of Terror losing to Pakistani Resolve and Spirit and Sacrifices of its Forces, General Elections - New Government, A welcome Accountability process. 

It could have been the year in which World might have found Peace,  Liberty, Justice, Love and Laughter. 

Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and other places on the Globe, looking for permanent and peaceful solution could have found their destination. 

The world could have seen the last of the Terrorism. 

Muslim world could have forged Unity. 

Ethnicity and Sectarianism, Hate, Prejudices  would have given way to Brotherhood, Harmony, Affection and Love. 

Respect for all would have become the way to go. 

The list of what might have been achieved is pretty long but for the stake holders (people who run the show in this mortal world) lack of resolve. 

Might is still Right. 

Weak and Poor(Nations and Individuals)are still languishing. 

Respect of human life and honour is still AWOL. 

Coercion sees no end AND HUMANS KEEP KILLING HUMANS WITHOUT A HINT OF REMORSE.

2019 has crossed the SL just now. 

May it be filled with love, passion and prosperity for all. 

May we do all what we should have done in 2018 to make this world a lovable place it must be. May we evolve both physically and spiritually. May we progress individually and collectively.

MAY ALLAH KARIM BE OUR GUIDE AND WE WALK ON THE PATH PRESCRIBED BY HIM. MAY CONSCIOUSNESS ABOUT ALLAH SWT ENGULF US PERPETUALLY. AAMEEN.


HAPPY 2019

اپنے قائد سے کچھ باتیں ۔ ۔ ۔
10:54 AM

اپنے قائد سے کچھ باتیں ۔ ۔ ۔

Salam and Duaien ...

25 December ... Quaid's Birthday  ...
In the morning in a live show paid tributes to you Revered Quaid and wished a Merry Christmas to all celebrating, world over ...

Great Quaid you were special, a rarity, one of a kind, a Blessed one ... Once you left and Liaqat followed... Pakistan became a pasture for the eternal hungry ...
نا خلفوں نے ایسے طریقے اپناے، لوٹنے کے، ڈبونے کے کہ پناہِ خدا ۔ ۔ ۔

 کچھ بھی کہیں بھی کبھی بھی ۔ ۔ ۔ جو ہاتھ لگا ہڑپ کر لیا۔

 جان، ایمان، عزت، مال سب نشانے پر۔

 اتحاد کی جگہ نفرتوں کے بیج بوے، ایمان کو بیچ ڈالا چند سکوں کے عوض اور تنظیم کی جگہ بے نظمی، بدعنوانی اور بد اطواری کے جھاڑ اگاے۔

عقاب کی جگہ زاغ لیں تو اور ہو بھی کیا۔

You were/are/will remain ‘THE QUAID-E-AZAM’ ... 

Unfortunately, we haven’t had one coming close to you by 7000 miles in the last 7 Decades and may not have in next 700 ... 

It is said ... 'THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS GREATNESS IS TO BE HONEST' ... and you were HONESTY PERSONIFIED ...

After you the REFUSE of the GREED god has ... 
Danced on the tune of Dishonesty ... 
Grabbed Any/Everything and the Greed is still Insatiable ... 
Lied Shamelessly  ... No remorse whatsoever ...  
Corrupted the entire system ... 
Though most of us believe 'گور پیا کوی ہور' ... But the Day shall come where no costly counsels and no faltering judges would come to aid ... The sown shall have to be reaped  ... 

 You reaped yours ... ONE DAY WE SHALL OURS ... if not HERE (Process has started) then definitely THERE ...

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ... May Jannat Ul Firdous be your permanent abode ... 


مقدور ہو تو خاک سے پوچھوں کہ اے لئیم

تُو نے وہ گنجہاے گراں مایہ کیا کئیے

HOPE EARNESTLY - STRIVE HONESTLY - TRUST GOD !
8:02 PM

HOPE EARNESTLY - STRIVE HONESTLY - TRUST GOD !

Salam O Dua

Friends I wrote yesterday that 16 December should bring out the resolve in us ... 'Adversities SPUR US ON' ... 

Today sitting with friends and colleagues 'The Depressive State of Affairs' was the point to ponder ... My response as always was 'تندیءِ بادِ مخالف سے نہ گھبرا اے عقاب' ... 

My take:  
All those from the Arid (بارانی) Areas know that Life  thrives on the Rains there ... Scarce and Scanty Rains, which come like the migratory birds in July/August ... And by September fly off ... To show up again sometime as late as February next ... This time though, it's a Blessing of Allah Karim that December saw a sprinkling. 

The Wheat Sowing season starts after Mid-October and one has been seeing now for decades {irrespective, there is Moisture  (WATTER وتر) in the land or not} ... Crop is sowed ... 
THAT IS HOPE AND TRUST ... Come March/April and the yield is there, sufficient to sustain the growers for years and enough to share with the needy too.

Lessons:

Whatever the Circumstances ... What has to be done ... MUST BE DONE. 
 
NO GIVING UP ... Quitters Never Harvest. 
 
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS ... and ...  
‎۔۔۔ پیوستہ رہ شجر سے ۔۔۔ 

... BECAUSE ... 

‎۔۔۔ اپنے رب کی رحمت سے ناامید ... صرف گم راہ اور بہکے ہوے ہی ہوتے ہیں ۔۔۔
... AL-HAJR (15) : 56 ...


Hope, Strive and Trust  ... and KEEP ON Always.

WEAR YOUR TRAGEDIES AS ARMOUR, NOT SHACKLES
10:13 AM

WEAR YOUR TRAGEDIES AS ARMOUR, NOT SHACKLES

Salam o Dua
سولہ دسمبر ۔۔

سولہ کا ہندسہ ھماری تاریخ کے ایک اِنتہای افسوسناک موڑ کا نقیب کہ کیسے اپنوں کی کوتاہ اندیشیوں، بھایئوں کی کج فھمیوں اور دشمنوں کی کارستانیوں نے  

ھمیں ھزیمت سے دوچار کیا

ذلت سے ھمکنار کیا

ھماری اخوت و حمیت کو تار تار کیا۔

قرض تو سولہ کا چکانا پڑے گا، ہم نہیں تو  ہماری نسلوں کو ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ اکہتر کا ہو یا چودہ کا ۔ ۔ ۔ 


'Being defeated is often a temporary condition ................ GIVING UP IS WHAT MAKES IT PERMANENT'.

شہیدوں کو سلام

غازیوں کو یاد دہانی

اور ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔

قوم کو آواز ۔۔۔۔

غیرت ہے بڑی چیز جہانِ تگ و دو میں


Remembering 71 and 14, lets  RESOLVE :-

'Enemies you have not and you will NEVER break our SOULS. We shall always hold our heads high and STAND OUR GROUND.

We shall In Sha Allah, make Pakistan a land where there is:-

    No tyranny, coercion and TERROR.

    No corruption and no horror.

    No dishonest leader and no compromised scholar.

    No injustice and no dishonour.


 For that to happen we shall have to change:-
Our Attitudes, Deeds, Deals and Thoughts. 

Our Suicidal Streaks, Self-Serving Squeaks and Indifference.  

Strike out the Moral Insolvency, Raging Incompetence and Hesitance (to make decisions).

We must confess that:-

مولا نے ھر اس کو بے تحاشا نوازا جو اپنے پاکستان سے جڑا 

خواہ وہ سیاسی لیڈر بنا

فوج میں گیا یا کھیل کےمیدان میں کودا

میڈیا میں آیا یا تعلیمی ادارہ بنایا

 - سب پر ھن برسا

 لیکن شاید دکھانے کے لئے  -بہت کم ہے سب کے پاس

آیئے اقرار کرتے ھوے اپنی کوھتایئوں کا پھر رواں ھوتے ھیں سوئے منزل 

طالب ھوتے ھوے رب کی رحمتوں کے چلاتےھیں اپنا کارواں 

مدد مانگتے ھوے اللہ سے مقامِ بدر پیدا کرتے ھیں 

نصرتِ خداوندی بھی انشا اللہ  آے گی اور فرشتے بھی اتریں گے قطار اندر قطار-




PAKISTAN PAI'NDA BAAD !


مولا عمل کی توفیق عطا فرما

FIGHT WE MUST BUT . . . . .
4:16 PM

FIGHT WE MUST BUT . . . . .

Salam and Duaien ... 
Friends, one was away in the lands far off ... Amazed at the Industry, Discipline, Will and Sincerity of those who were devastated by the war, cut to half and ravaged by the forces of subjugation in the mid fifties, years off from our independence ... We are still at the Nadir they already have gone past the Zenith ... Corruption, Incompetence and Infighting has ruined us ... Condemned us to 'Look-Downs Status' ... Yet we refuse to learn ... 

We have the uncanny knack to tread the NO-GOs. We often go wrong in our conclusions, estimates, projections and conduct. We act first and resort to thinking later. Our perceptions are faulty. there are paradoxes in our SAY and DO. Our 'Places' determine our conduct, motives our sides, and Self before Soul our criterions. Our capriciousness decides our Right and Wrong ... and ... We are masters in turning the avoidable into MUST GO ... There is no middle course for us ... Just a little scan of the Social Media says it loud that irrationality and absurdity drive us. Everyone has license in using and abusing the Religion ... There are those and in plenty who don't even have the elementary knowledge of Religion  ... and there are those who claim to KNOW ALL. The Right is somewhere IN-BETWEEN ... BUT WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NO COMPROMISES ON CERTAIN THINGS AND THAT INCLUDE ALLAH AND HIS PROPHETS ... EVEN EU COURT SAID SO.

If we just want to fight ... then ... Fight we must but for . . .

Right there is (if we don't know then we must learn) on which are based our ideas and ideals . . . We, however, develop conflicts from nowhere as a routine and fight the bloody fights for the sake of fight ... sacrificing the life, property and esteem at the altar of our elephant ego and refusal to learn and be refined, incurring the wrath here and hereafter.
Fights shouldn't be there just to prove that 'might is right'.Instead we must fight for the just cause only ... with clean soul and stainless character. 
We must not use trickery to persist in nurturing the evil because that is cruelty and absurdity just to manipulate to meet own ends.
Bottomline ... the enemy lives within us or with us concealing the gun behind his back to lay us waste on the first opportunity ... Let us find and fight that enemy.
LET THE GOOD WIN ... ALWAYS.

تیرے در سے جو یار پھرتے ہیں
در بدر یونہی خوار پھرتے ہیں
