THE WAR HAS BEGUN

Whenever unwanted, pure blood is dropped unto the land, it sparks a revolution within its inmates.

This Sunday right after I woke up and checked my Instagram newsfeed, something made me wonder. In the world of some good for nothing, useless star kids, how come a post about a real artist is showing up... but as always, the caption remained ignored. Seeing his face out of nowhere on social media, I should've taken a hint from the death of a legend in the recent past about what the caption ought to be. Because no matter how brilliant you are, if you are not 'allowed' to fit in, you shall go unnoticed, unless you're dead.

After dedicating his demise an ocean of misery, its depth gave me clarity instead of drowning me, and its salt gave me a purpose rather than poisoning me. I decided to explain the world how suicide is prohibited (haraam) and how is he going to hell for choosing death over life (if he actually did).


I am really hoping for it to be a murder case, as sometimes people might kill someone in defence to save themselves from dying. But I don't know what state of mind requires a person to think that he needs to take his own life to save himself from dying. Imagine how vacant he would've been inside while he was preparing to finish his own life. Imagine how choked he must have felt before he tied the rope around his neck. This seemed nothing to him against the mockery and bullying he had to face. No, I'm not grieving over his death, I'm grieving over the weight he carried in his chest. I'm grieving over the helplessness that filled his entire being with darkness. I never thought some actor would ever hold such significance to me and his departure would leave a profound impact. That's the core problem; this talented celebrity was not celebrated as much as he deserved. No, he was not afraid of anything; he was just done with everything and everyone, and this is the most tragic part.

The respected Muslim community, yes he's going to hell if he committed suicide.
He is going to hell because he was too good which scared them.
He is going to hell because he had to deal with being left out.
He is going to hell because he was ridiculed for not being 'one of them'.
He is going to hell because they made him feel small.
But wait, how can he go to hell since he was already going through one. Yes Muslims, suicide is forbidden because it is the worst form of murder, and murder is not acceptable in any set of beliefs.

We demand his biopic in which all his bullies are given the exact role they played in his life. The hurtful and poignant things they said to him would be their dialogues, and this time they would be aware of the consequences
(only if their conscience is alive, which is quite unlikely), of how wretched a person feels when neglected and avoided.

This is a mere glimpse of the damage done by the corrupted, cruel, and unjust social norms, and I have to see myself responsible for letting them flourish. One day I have to answer the Lord about the young boy who was exhausted to death, about the little girl who was kicked to death, about a lonely man who was bullied to death, and the list goes on. I am accountable. We all are!

Dear Sushant, only wanted to say that you truly are a magician. Those muggles couldn't see it. They didn't deserve you anyway. I wish you knew it.


Rest in eternal peace.

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...
