Are we a Frustrated Nation?

It naturally happens to almost everybody when arrives from somewhere abroad, it seems very awkward when we compare ourselves with those we have just visited. Same thing always happened to me, but this time I feel it really intense and thought "Are we a frustrated nation"? Why it happened? Let me elaborate it in points :


1. When you exit from tube of aircraft, you see the different face of the same people who were with you at origin where we came from : like, they start talking loudly on cellphone, abusing, pretending themselves that they have been just returned from some kinda space or planet. Frustrated to be special, different and superior in any sense

2. When you see the authorities of of Airport, they seems like double-standard robots who react with everybody in a different way : smiling face in front of FOREIGN PASSPORT and STYLISH FOREIGNERS, creases on forehead in front of mediocre passengers, strict and professionals like in front of those who came here on holidays and many many more

3. Customs people shout at you as you are a criminal and smuggling drugs in Pakistan and they are PATRIOT SONS OF SOIL who are defending their soil from the criminals like us. Not a little piece of courtesy and riding all with same stick.

4. If you have some gifts for your family like, Video System, Laptops and Some Electronics that is normally allowed and logically not to sell/commercial purpose, then WARNING, HALT, these goods are suspicious and it contains a custom duty which we suppose to bypass intentionally and that is more than actual cost of good. When you seems afraid, then another business starts of bargaining.

5. When you SAFELY exit from the gate, then BEWARE of Taxi Drivers who are near to grab you with them and explain you why they are asking so much amount for that short distance travel.

After reaching home, when you start your routine life, you can observe the difference easily in first 2 3 days, coz after 2 or 3 days you'll indulge in this and then you won't see anything strange.

What you'll observe, remember you are a part of this now and you don't have STRANGER-LOOK, every seller will try to sell you at any cost by claiming his good superior than others. Uncontrolled traffic, everybody is abusing other without or on a nonsense reason. Police seems like robbers who stop you anywhere anytime without a reason and you'll feel that you are the only responsible for worst law and order situation and you are the only one because of whom this traffic is disturbed.

You'll see the mob who is demolishing the property of you and others like you, because of load shedding, blasphemy, some statement from a politician and target killing or whatever reason. They'll block the main roads in peak rush hours and rest of them will be finding the way to reach their destination and in this way finding exercise there will be many clashes and wrestling happens.
When (God Forbid) you'll face any robber on the road, you'll feel you're the only wealthy, satisfied and tension less person who is responsible for unemployment and let them commit a crime. They can shoot you even for Rs.500/- (I seen this in a news when I was abroad) and nobody can expect the justice for that blood-shed even you money and valuables. You'll be silent because you know nothing will happen and you have to face more botheration.


After a day long on your work, you'll behave like CHANGEZ and HALAAKU with your family, you'll be hating a little noise, over-reacting on innocent mistakes of kids after absorbing abuses, noise, fight, lies, threats, miscommitments and then your kids and spouse will throw it to near ones.......

So this chain will spread hatred all around in continuous motion day by day. Is it true?, Are we a frustrated nation? if YES, WHY??? Please comment

What is Shia and Sunni? - License to Kill

I have been reading different articles and columns regarding Rawalpindi from last couple of days. Every columnist and writer is trying to define the different base of Sunni/Shia division. One writer is saying that it is the invention of ANGREZ (British Govt.), another is saying it is created by Indian Businessmen (HINDU SETH) at the time of partition and somebody is saying this fire has been burnt by America.

What I have studied is totally different in the books of history AND/OR somebody else have something else to describe. But one thing is common... There is a difference.. Now the questions is.. Is this difference gives license somebody to Kill his opponent? If YES, from where and how?

For a moment, we suppose that some Sunni abused Shia or those whom they followed so would those Sunni should be killed, burned or slaughtered? vice versa, if some Shia abused so should they been killed?

If YES then who allowed both sides to do so? Those people who they follows? Did they ordered like if somebody abuse me my followers should kill them brutally and put everything on fire? even without inquiring who was guilty, what he stated and how?

So is it that easy to kill somebody on road by just shouting "He abused XYZ". and nowadays people strictly follow the "WAJIB" of "WAJIB UL QATL" instead of following thousand of  "WAJIBs" in Shariat. Who cares about the Salaah, Sunnah, Protection of Eyes and Tongue, Protection of Evil Desires, Music, Male/Female combined gathering that leads to Sin and many more...

We didn't even studied the right Islam, we even didn't know more than Namaz and Roza (Salaah and Fasting) I can bet that not even 5 from the gathering of 500 shouters (Type of people who only shout and destroy public property) on the road even know 10 Verses of Qur'aan with meaning and explanation or 10 Hadith with same. We don't even know what our Beloved Prophet SAAW have said about Liars.

Well, conclusion, Muslims have more priorities to do and spread than killing somebody in the name ABUSE and BLASPHEMY as if we do not KILL a blasphemist, there is a chance of TAUBA (His submission to Allah and reversal from Sins towards Good) but if we return ABUSE against ABUSE or Hatred against Hatred, we can't achieve our goals that has been defined by Beloved Prophet SAAW and all his Respected and honorable Companions RAA. May Allah guide us all to the Path of Righteous and his beloved ones.

اقبال ! تیرے دیس کا کیا حال سناؤں

اقبال ! تیرے دیس کا کیا حال سناؤں

 

دہقان تو مر کھپ گیا اب کس کو جگاؤں

ملتا ہے کہاں خوشۂ گندم کہ جلاؤں

شاہین کا ہے گنبدِ شاہی پہ بسیرا

کنجشکِ فرومایہ کو اب کس سے لڑاؤں؟

 

ہر داڑھی میں تنکا ہے، ہراک آنکھ میں شہتیر

مومن کی نگاہوں سے بدلتی نہیں تقدیر

توحید کی تلوار سے خالی ہیں نیامیں

اب ذوقِ یقیں سے نہیں کٹتی کوئی زنجیر

 

شاہیں جہاں تھا آج وہ کرگس کا جہاں ہے

ملتی ہوئی ملّا سے مجاہد کی اذاں ہے

مانا کہ ستاروں سے بھی آگے ہیں جہاں اور

شاہیں میں مگر طاقتِ پرواز کہاں ہے

 

مر مر کی سلوں سے کوئی بے زار نہیں ہے

رہنے کو حرم میں کوئی تیار نہیں ہے

کہنے کو ہراک شخص مسلمان ہے لیکن

دیکھو تو کہیں نام کو کردار نہیں ہے

 

بیباکی و حق گوئی سے گھبراتا ہے مومن

مکاری و رُوباہی پہ اتراتا ہے مومن

جس رزق سے پرواز میں کوتاہی کا ڈر ہو

وہ رزق بڑے شوق سے اب کھاتا ہے مومن

 

پیدا کبھی ہوتی تھی سحر جس کی اذاں سے

اس بندۂ مومن کو میں اب لاؤں کہاں سے

وہ سجدہ زمیں جس سے لرز جاتی تھی یارو

اک بار تھا ہم چھُٹ گئے اس بارِ گراں سے

 

جھگڑے ہیں یہاں صوبوں کے ذاتوں کے نسب کے

اُگتے ہیں تہِ سایۂ گل خار غضب کے

یہ دیس ہے سب کا مگر اس کا نہیں کوئی

اس کے تنِ خستہ پہ اب دانت ہیں سب کے

 

محمودوں کی صف آج ایازوں سے پرے ہے

جمہور سے سلطانئ جمہور ڈرے ہے

تھامے ہوئے دامن ہے یہاں پرجو خودی کا

مر، مر کے جئے ہے کبھی  جی ، جی کے مرے ہے

 

دیکھو توذرا محلوں کے پردوں کواٹھا کر

شمشیر و سناں رکھی ہیں طاقوں پہ سجا کر

آتے ہیں نظر مسندِ شاہی پہ رنگیلے

تقدیرِ امم سو گئی طاؤس پہ آکر

 

مکاری و عیاری و غداری و ہیجان

اب بنتا ہے ان چار عناصر سے مسلمان

قاری اسے کہنا توبڑی بات ہے یارو

اس نے تو کبھی کُھول کے دیکھا نہیں قرآن

 

کردار کا گفتار کا اعمال کا مومن

قائل نہیں ایسے کسی جنجال کا مومن

سرحد کا ہے مومن کوئی بنگال کا مومن

ڈوھنڈے سے بھی ملتا نہیں قرآن کا مومن

 

اقبالؒ تیرا دیس کہاں ہےکہاں جاؤں؟

Pics that made me speechless

 

I don't have anything to say. Just Speechless.

غوروفکر کےلیے بہت کچھ - A lot to think about

بیان کیا جاتا ہے کہ بغداد پر تاتاری فتح کے بعد، ہلاکو خان کی بیٹی بغداد میں گشت کررہی تھی کہ ایک ہجوم پر اس کی نظر پڑی۔ پوچھا لوگ یہاں کیوں اکٹھے ہیں؟ جواب آیا: ایک عالم کے پاس کھڑے ہیں۔ دخترِ ہلاکو نے عالم کو اپنے سامنے پیش ہونے کا حکم دیا۔ عالم کو تاتاری شہزادی کے سامنے لا حاضر کیا گیا۔
شہزادی مسلمان عالم سے سوال کرنے لگی: کیا تم لوگ اللہ پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے؟
 

عالم: یقیناً ہم ایمان رکھتے ہیں
 

شہزادی: کیا تمہارا ایمان نہیں کہ اللہ جسے چاہے غالب کرتا ہے؟

عالم: یقیناً ہمارا اس پر ایمان ہے۔

شہزادی: تو کیا اللہ نے آچ ہمیں تم لوگوں پر غالب نہیں کردیا ہے؟

عالم: یقیناً کردیا ہے۔

شہزادی: تو کیا یہ اس بات کی دلیل نہیں کہ خدا ہمیں تم سے زیادہ چاہتا ہے؟

عالم: نہیں

شہزادی: کیسے؟

عالم: تم نے کبھی چرواہے کو دیکھا ہے؟

شہزادی: ہاں دیکھا ہے

عالم: کیا اس کے ریوڑ کے پیچھے چرواہے نے اپنے کچھ کتے بھی رکھ چھوڑے ہوتے ہیں؟

شہزادی: ہاں رکھے ہوتے ہیں۔

عالم: اچھا تو اگر کچھ بھیڑیں چرواہے کو چھوڑ کو کسی طرف کو نکل کھڑی ہوں، اور چرواہے کی سن کر دینے کو تیار ہی نہ ہوں، تو چرواہا کیا کرتا ہے؟

شہزادی: وہ ان کے پیچھے اپنے کتے دوڑاتا ہے تاکہ وہ ان کو واپس اس کی کمان میں لے آئیں۔

عالم: وہ کتے کب تک ان بھیڑوں کے پیچھے پڑے رہتے ہیں؟

شہزادی: جب تک وہ فرار رہیں اور چرواہے کے اقتدار میں واپس نہ آجائیں۔

 
عالم: تو آپ تاتاری لوگ زمین میں ہم مسلمانوں کے حق میں خدا کے چھوڑے ہوئے کتے ہیں؛ جب تک ہم خدا کے در سے بھاگے رہیں گے اور اس کی اطاعت اور اس کے منہج پر نہیں آجائیں گے، تب تک خدا تمہیں ہمارے پیچھے دوڑائے رکھے گا، تب تک ہمارا امن چین تم ہم پر حرام کیے رکھوگے؛ ہاں جب ہم خدا کے در پر واپس آجائیں گے اُس دن تمہارا کام ختم ہوجائے گا۔
 

 مسلمان عالم کے اس جواب میں آج ہمارے غوروفکر کےلیے بہت کچھ پوشیدہ ہے!
۔
خدایا ہمارے اس بھٹکے ہوئے گلے کو اپنے در پر واپس آنے کی توفیق دے؛ عبادتِ طاغوت کی یہ اندھیری طویل رات ہم سے دور کردے۔

We and our Elders - Mindset and Gaps

What motivate me to write this is an experience at a hospital during night attendance with my aunt. Sometimes we irritate with our parents or the people aged 55+ due to their stubborn behaviors. For example they might ask you a single question again and again or after a long para they concludes the things on same question they asked so many times.

I observed that people after 55 feel himself free. Let me explain it by an example.

A father who retired at the age of 55, his sons and daughters are married and living a quite busy life in their families plus their jobs and businesses. They made themselves purely a social animal but with outsiders. They try to play an important role in the problems of their friends' circle and professional network.

Let me be a little out of topic here. In this fast era and with the emerging technologies we have lost our patience. We can't wait for results generated in its due course. We think that a headache should relieve in minutes after taking pills as we can reach anybody worldwide in a click or with our cellulars keypad or we edit a whole document, image or a chart in seconds and enjoy our desired modifications so our mindset, more or less, desires the same thing in those events that can't be.

Let's continue. So if a father's blood pressure shoot at midnight, our first approach or thinking would be like to give him the tablet or do something from our experiences or we had rad somewhere. In this case, the father take it seriously as our carelessness about him. He thinks that we are taking him light because we didn't seem worry at high. So when a son try to give him tablet and a glass of water in relax mode, he resist and force the son to take him to the hospital. Again when son argue about the early exercise to go hospital and explain him that he should have this tablet and wait a little so he goes normal then they both can spare themselves from that hassle as a BP is being a normal event nowadays.

Here it comes to the matter of debate or emotions. In father's mindset his son is not taking him seriously and giving him tablet with some explanations because he don't want to take him to hospital. And on another side, son is thinking that I should save my father from this movement until it is necessary.

Two scenes simultaneously happened to me. Doctor advised us to give my aunt a cough syrup as she was very uncomfortable due to cough and couldn't took proper nap but she was afraid that her cough increase due to that syrup. So when I force to take that syrup as doctor advised she over reacted and situation been difficult for me to handle as I can see her coughing abnormally so I had moved out of hospital to have a cigarette so I can normalize myself and there is another scene waiting for me to make me more learned.

There was a father and son at corridor and the son was roaming rapidly between pharmacy and doctor's chamber. As a listened the doctor's dialogue he was saying to the father " I am trying to help you at my best but you are irritating me, you are not ready to listen to a doctor and debating continuously. How your son manage to handle you?" And that father was again arguing the doctor. When I see the son, that gives me a new direction of thinking. I saw his father was arguing with pharmacist and his son used to say "Ok I'll do according to your wish. As you wish." And this particular sentence given father much relaxation. I seen him till end the son used to say this particular thing and smartly direct the father as per doctor's advice and the father was comfortable with this. So then I understood how his son manage to handle him.

I will conclude that it is all about protocol. If we will give proper protocol to our elders instead of imposing something, it would be quite workable in these kind of situations. When it comes to protocol we also expect it from our younger. So our approach is like we are seeking permission of elders and giving priority to his opinion then smartly draw him towards the requirement. Sometimes we have to wait patiently for desired result as human being can make effort only, rest is in the hands of Allah Almighty.
