WRONG(ED) SUFIS

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم   WRONG(ED) SUFIS You were looking for something you didn't even know you were looking for. For a known answer to an unknown question. The question introduced itself to you disguised as the answer. The answer that was all along with you not seeing what the question is. Sometimes finding the question to an answer is far more bewildering than finding the answer to a question.  Then one day you look in the mirror and find all the questions to all the answers and all the answers to all the questions. When you witness your mystified reflection in a pair of mystifying eyes, you travel from the depths of oceans to the heights of skies to fathom one simple yet hard to grasp truth.  There is no mystery, nor is there a mystique. Crystal in You Realizing something mysterious like this, your heart flutters with joy of knowing, whirls with the winds, swirls with the waves, sways with the fires, celebrates his existence among the stars, and dances and eterna...

NO FUNNY

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بےجا ہنسی مذاق کا انسان کی شخصیت، اطرافیان، اور معاشرے پر اثر :پس منظر آپس میں ضرورت سے زیادہ ہنسی مذاق بڑھ جانے کے سبب استادِ محترم کی طرف سے ملنے والے اس موضوع پر مضمون تحریر کرنے کے ہوم ورک کی بدولت یہ کہانی وجود میں آئی۔ سُستی ایک بڑی نعمت ہے، اگر میں سُست نہ ہوتی تو کتابیں کھول کر پرانے لوگوں کے اقوال کے حوالے دے کر میں بھی ایک بورنگ سا مضمون ہی لکھتی۔ امید ہے یہ آپ کو پسند آئے گی، استاد کو تو آئ نہیں۔۔۔  ❤️ اِنسپایرڈ باۓ لائف اوف ماۓ فرینڈز تاریخ: 22/3/2022 :کہانی  ایک ہرا بھرا جنگل تھا جس میں سارے جانور اور ہنسی خوشی رہتے تھے۔ اِس جنگل کے ہر حیوان میں کوئی نہ کوئی کوئی خاص بات، کچھ نہ کچھ صلاحیت موجود تھی جس بنا پر ہر کسی کو اُس کی لیاقتوں کے تحت کام دیا گیا تھا۔ اُن میں سے کوئی پروفیسر تھا تو کوئی ماہر نفسیات، کوئی کوئی مصور تو کوئی تاجر جبکہ کہ اُن میں سے کسی کو جنگل کی حفاظت کا بھی کام دیا گیا تھا۔ کیونکہ اِس جنگل کے خوبصورت جانوروں پر ایک بے رحم شکاری کی نظریں جمی ہوئی تھیں جو ان جانوروں کو شکار کرنے کی تاک میں لگا ہوا تھا۔ اب...

You had it coming, pal.

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم YOU HAD IT COMING, PAL. .الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ البلاءَ للظّالمِ أدبٌ “Misfortune is a form of discipline for the wrongdoer.” Imam Ali (a) (Bihar Al Anwar V. 81) We all must have heard this frequently used word in conversation with our peers. Karma is a spiritual principle of cause and effect where the intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). Good intent and good deeds contribute to a good future and, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to a bad future. The theory of karma can be thought to be an extension to Newton's third law of action and reaction where every action of any kind including words, thoughts, feelings, the totality of our existence, will eventually have a reaction, the same type of energy coming back to the one that caused it. In terms of spiritual development, Karma is not about punishment or reward. It makes a person responsible for their own life, and how they treat...

Fearless

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم  FEARLESS .رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : لا تَخَفْ في اللّه‏ِ لَوْمَةَ لائمٍ “ Do not fear the reproach of the reproacher on the path of Allah.” Prophet Muhammad (s) (Al Khisaal) When a man feels responsible, he doesn’t feel fear. When a man walks alone, the entire universe begins to follow him. When a man is left in the cold by his people, he becomes a one-man army. When a man has no one on his back, He gets by his side. When a man is brave enough to fight for the truth, when he is fearless enough to stand against the system, when a man is strong enough to shake up the world within a few hours, when a man sacrifices his everything for the sake of humanity, he is called Husain (a). Imam Husain (a) said: ‘Be steadfast and firm in the way toward what is right, even if your journey is full of pain and challenges.’ [Usul al-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 28] The Prophet (s) said, ‘Allah does not empower anyone over man except one whom he fears. If man w...

Destroy and get destroyed

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم DESTROY AND GET DESTROYED .رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : كُفَّ أذاكَ عنِ النّاسِ ؛ فإنّهُ صَدَقةٌ تَصّدَّقُ بها عَلى نَفْسِكَ   “Abstain from harming others for this is your charity towards yourself.” Prophet Muhammad (s) (Bihar Al-Anwar 75) Imam al-Sadiq (a) said, ‘A man who keeps his hand from harming people is keeping one hand from [harming] them, whilst they would keep many hands from [harming] him [as a result].’[al-Khisal, p. 17, no. 60] The universe is a gigantic blob of pure light, full of love and positivity. If you harm someone whilst being within its premises, you have infringed the default direction of life’s flow. Nature forgives no one, it takes your negative act as a declaration of war and this grand crystal clear mirror reflects your deeds on you resulting in your loss. Preventing yourself from purposely hurting others is, in fact, preventing yourself from universal trouble.  Imam al-Sadiq (a) said, ‘Allah, Mighty and E...

Smart enough?

  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم SMART ENOUGH? .الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الأدبُ في الإنسانِ كشَجَرةٍ أصلُها العقلُ “Good manners in man resemble a tree whose root is the mind.” Imam Ali (a) (Ibn Abi Al Hadid) Ethics have always been linked with intellect. Possessing good moral values is an indication of having a great mind. History is littered with examples of brilliant scientists, mathematicians, artists, and musicians who inflicted deep misery on those whose chauvinist or racist beliefs would shock us today. In the Hebrew Bible, for example, “the fool” is a moral category more than an intellectual one.  Imam Ali (a) said, ‘Everything needs the mind, and the mind needs good manners.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 6911] Good moral virtues are water to the tree of wisdom, which means they’re directly proportional to each other. One surely has more capacity to absorb knowledge if he s/he is a person of character.  Imam Ali (a) said, ‘O Believer! This knowledge and good manners are...
