CHILDREN


.رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : أحِبُّوا الصِّبْيانَ وَارْحَمُوهُم

“Love your children, and be kind and merciful to them.”
Prophet Muhammad (s)
(Makarim al-Akhlaq)

Every year during the days of aza - mourning for Imam Hussain (a), we shed tears for the innocent cheeks that kept on changing their color from Karbala to Syria, we cry for the children who were brutally tortured and killed. We mourn for the littles ones who were heartbroken and scared. Our hearts tremble just by hearing the loss of the household of the Prophet (s).  

But one, if ever observes us, would be amazed by the hypocrisy of ours. We treat our children just like the people of Yazid, right after cursing them and lamenting for those oppressed flowers. We weep for the little soldiers of Imam Husain (a), besides the young army of Imam e Zamana (a) weep because of us. This pattern is beyond one’s intellect!

Imam Sajjad (a) said: “And the right of your child is that you should know that he is from you and he will be ascribed to you in this world due to both his good deeds and his evil deeds. And you are responsible for what has been entrusted to you in teaching him good conduct, and guiding him toward his Lord, and helping him to obey Him on your behalf and for himself. Then you will be rewarded for so doing, and you will be punished.

Then regarding his affairs, act like one who will be proud of bringing him up in this world, and one who is excused by his Lord for what is between you and him for taking good care of him, and the good results you achieved. And there is no power but in God.” [Risalatul Huquq, Right n. 24: The Right of the Child]

Prophet (s) said: “Kiss your children. There is an elevation in your rank in Paradise as a reward for each kiss. Each raise in rank is as much as five hundred years.” [Makarim al-Akhlaq, p.220]

Imam Ali (a) said: “Kissing the child is mercy.” [Makarim al-Akhlaq, p.220]

Prophet (s): “Love your children, and be kind and merciful to them. Fulfill your promises made to them since children consider you to be the one who provides for their sustenance.” [Makarim al-Akhlaq, p.219.]

In simple words, either we stop remembering Imam 
Husain (a), or we start following him.

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...

The war has begun

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم 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). # J...
