Religious Exhibitionism - Jun06,'26


 Islamic devotion or religious exhibitionism? Such Muslims can easily pray in many other places other than streets. The above is a wrong practice and Muslims should seriously avoid such acts. Australian police did the right thing . . .

Eid-Al-Adha Mubarak - May28,'26


 EID-AL-ADHA MUBARAK - 27th May, 2026

This Eid, I feel sad and it's just a formality to wish others. However, the way US-Israel again renewed attacks on Iran just a day before Eid-al-Adha and then Israel bombed both Gaza and Lebanon, the overall situation is very gloomy for the Muslim world. The majority of human beings on this planet hate the actions of Israel and the United states which are against other countries. Even most of the common Americans are not on the side of US government but they can do little except protesting. Pakistani government also needs to choose sides wisely instead of beckoning to the call of world powers for the Only True Superpower is Almighty Allah, the Omnipotent and the Creator of the Whole Universe!

ALLAHu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) . . .  !!!

Zahir per na jao - May02,'26

 

کسی کا ظاہر نہ دیکھو، انجام دیکھو "
ایک دن حضرت ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ مسجد کے قریب کچھ صحابہ کے ساتھ بیٹھے تھے کہ نبی کریم ﷺ وہاں سے گزرے۔ آپ ﷺ نے ان پر ایک نظر ڈالی، اور آپ کے چہرے کے تاثرات لمحہ بھر کے لیے بدلے۔ پھر آپ ﷺ نے ایک عجیب وغریب بات کہی1
تم میں ایک ایسا شخص ہے جس کا دانت جہنم میں احد پہاڑ سے بھی بڑا ہوگا۔
یہ الفاظ سن کر صحابہ کرام سکتے میں آ گئے۔ نبی ﷺ تو جا چکے تھے، لیکن ان کا یہ فرمان ہر دل میں نقش ہو گیا۔ ہر شخص اپنے دل میں سوال کرنے لگا یہ بدبخت کون ہوگا؟
وقت گزرتا گیا، اور برسوں بعد وہ تمام صحابہ ایمان شہادت اور خیر کے ساتھ دنیا سے رخصت ہو گئے۔ صرف ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ اور بنی حنیفہ کے رجال بن عنفوه باقی رہ گئے۔
رجال بن عنفوہ ایک عابد زاہد قاری اور فقیہ کے طور پر جانے جاتے تھے۔ وہ نبی کریم ﷺ کے قریب رہے، قرآن حفظ کیا دین سیکھا، اور عبادت میں سخت محنت کی۔ صحابہ انہیں عبادت و تقویٰ میں ممتاز سمجھتے تھے۔ حضرت عبدالله بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہ فرماتے ہیں
ہم رجال بن عنفوہ کو اپنے وفد کے سب سے بہترین" افراد میں شمار کرتے تھے، وہ حافظ قرآن قیام کرنے والا اور روزے رکھنے والا تھا۔
لیکن حضرت ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کے دل میں نبی کریم ﷺ کی وہ پیشین گوئی زندہ تھی۔ جب بھی وہ رجال بن عنفوہ کو دیکھتے، تو سوچنے لگتے ! اگر یہ جہنم میں جانے والا نہیں، تو پھر میں ہوں یہ خوف ان پر طاری رہتا کیونکہ وہ اور رجال ہی باقی رہ گئے تھے، اور رجال کی ظاہری حالت تو کسی ولی الله سے کم نہ تھی۔
بہتان، لالچ اور ایمان کا سودا "
پھر مسیلمہ کذاب نے یمامہ میں نبوت کا دعویٰ کیا، اور بہت سے لوگ اس کے جال میں پھنس گئے۔ حضرت ابو بکر صدیق رضی اللہ عنہ نے رجال بن عنفوہ کو وہاں بھیجا تاکہ وہ لوگوں کو حق پر ثابت قدم رکھیں۔
لیکن جب مسیلمہ کذاب نے رجال بن عنفوہ کو دیکھا تو چالاکی دولت اور اقتدار کے ذریعے اس کے دل میں لالچ پیدا کرنے کی کوشش کی۔ پہلے سونے اور چاندی کی رشوت دی مگر رجال نے انکار کر دیا۔ پھر کہا
اگر تم لوگوں سے کہہ دو کہ نبی کریم ﷺ نے مجھے" بھی نبوت میں شریک کیا تھا تو میں تمہیں آدھی بادشاہت دے دوں گا۔
یہ سن کر رجال بن عنفوہ کے قدم ڈگمگانے لگے۔ اس نے اپنے ایمان قرآن اور نبی کریم ﷺ کی محبت کو بیچ دیا اور لوگوں کے سامنے کھڑے ہو کر اعلان کیا میں نے نبی کریم ﷺ کو یہ فرماتے سنا کہ مسیلمہ بھی" ان کے ساتھ نبی ہے
یہ الفاظ قیامت سے کم نہ تھے۔ ایک ایسے شخص کا جھوٹا گواہ بن جانا، جو خود نبی کریم ﷺ کے قریب رہا ہو، عبادت گزار ہو، زاہد ہو، قرآن کا حافظ ہو یہ امت کے لیے بہت بڑی آزمائش بن گئی۔
یہ جھوٹ ایسا پھیلا کہ آدھے دن میں ہزاروں لوگ مسیلمہ کے پیروکار بن گئے اور یوں، رجال بن عنفوہ کی گمراہی، مسیلمہ کذاب سے بھی زیادہ خطرناک ثابت ہوئی۔
حق ہمیشہ غالب آتا ہے"
حضرت ابو بکر صدیق رضی اللہ عنہ نے خالد بن ولید رضی اللہ عنہ کی قیادت میں لشکر روانہ کیا۔ یمامہ میں شدید جنگ ہوئی اور مسیلمہ اپنے پیروکاروں سمیت ہلاک کر دیا گیا۔ رجال بن عنفوہ بھی شرک و کفر کی حالت میں مارا گیا۔
جب یہ خبر ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کو پہنچی تو وہ سجدے میں گر کر زار و قطار رونے لگے مگر یہ شکر اور خوشی کے آنسو تھے، کیونکہ نبی کریم ﷺ کی بات حرف بہ حرف پوری ہو چکی تھی۔ وہ جس عذاب سے ڈرتے رہے، اللہ نے انہیں اس سے محفوظ رکھا۔
: سبق جو ہمیشہ یاد رکھنا چاہیے
ظاہری عبادت پر نہ جاؤ، انجام پر نظر رکھو .
عبادت زہد اور علم پر کبھی غرور نہ کرو، بلکہ اللہ سے .
استقامت اور حسن خاتمہ مانگو۔
کسی گناہگار کو حقیر نہ سمجھو، ہوسکتا ہے اللہ اسے .
معاف کر دے اور تمہیں آزمائش میں ڈال دے۔
الله کی رحمت مانگو اور ہمیشہ حق پر ڈٹے رہو . کیونکہ ایمان کا اصل امتحان آخری سانس پر ہوتا ہے۔
"اللهم ارزقنا حسن الخاتمة"
ترجمہ
اے اللہ ہمیں اچھا انجام عطا فرما )

“تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ - TAKBEER-E-OOLA - Feb26,'26

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

“تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ - TAKBEER-E-OOLA

سوال : الحمدللہ آج سات روزے پورے ہو گئے - ہمارا آج کا سوال ہے کہ نماز میں “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ کا کیا معنی ہے ؟ اس پر تھوڑی روشنی ڈالیں -

جواب : باجماعت نماز شروع کراتے وقت امام جو پہلی تکبیر کہتا ہے “اللہ اکبر“ اور اس کے بعد سب ہاتھ باندھ لیتے ہیں ، اسے “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ کہتے ہیں - اس کا بہت ثواب ہے -

سوال : کیا ثواب ہے - بتائیے

جواب : ایک دفعہ میں جنید جمشید مرحوم کا بیان سن رہا تھا تو وہ فرما رہے تھے کہ “ایک مرتبہ جبرائیل علیہ السلام نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے کہا ‘یا رسول اللہ میں بارش کے تمام قطرے تو گن سکتا ہوں لیکن “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ کے ساتھ پڑھی ہوئی ایک نماز کے ثواب کا اندازہ نہیں لگا سکتا‘

سوال : تو کیا مسلمان پر فرض ہے کہ وہ ہمیشہ “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ کے ساتھ نماز پڑھے؟

جواب : ایسا میں نے نہیں کہا ۔ دیکھیں اسلام میں ہر چیز توازن سے کرنی چاہیئے - اب یہ بھی نہ ہو کہ حقوق العباد کے معاملے میں کوتاہی ہو لیکن مسلمان ساری نمازیں “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ کے ساتھ پڑھتا رہے ۔ بحرحال اگر علم ہو تو مسلمان کوشش بھی کرسکتا ہے ۔ باقی یہ کہ کبھی باجماعت نماز بھی رہ جاتی ہے تو اکیلے نماز ادا کر لے - لیکن کوشش کرتا رہے کہ مسجد جا کر “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ کے ساتھ نماز پڑھے - یا بعض اوقات ایسا بھی ہوتا ہے کہ “تکبیرِ اُولیٰ“ میں شامل نہ ہوسکے اور بعد میں جماعت میں شامل ہو گئے - کیونکہ باجماعت نماز کا ثواب اکیلے پڑھنے سے پھر بھی کافی زیادہ ہے - ایک حدیث میں ہے کہ قیامت کے دن سات طرح کے لوگ اللہ تعالیٰ کے عرش کے سائے تلے ہوں گے ، جس دن سورج بہت قریب آجائے گا اور کوئی سایہ نہیں ہو گا ۔ ان میں سے ایک قسم ان لوگوں کی ہوگی جن کا دل مسجد سے جڑا ہوا ہو گا ۔

یہ بھی یاد رکھیں کہ قیامت کے دن نمازیں ضرور کام آئیں گی لیکن ساتھ میں ہمیں یہ کوشش کرتے رہنا ہے کہ اچھا انسان بنیں اور کسی کی حق تلفی نہ ہو - دوسرا یہ کہ ایسا بھی ہوتا ہے کہ بعض اوقات کچھ ضروری دنیاوی معاملات یا مصروفیات کے پیش نظر نماز رہ جاتی ہے ۔ پھر وہ بعد میں ادا کر سکتے ہیں ۔

سوال : جزاک اللہ خیر صوفی صاحب - آپ نے اچھی رہنمائی کی -

Sinead O' Connor - Amazing Story of Courage


 

SINEAD O' CONNOR - THE AMAZING COURAGE AND 

TRANSITION STORY

When 20,000 people booed her off the stage, one man whispered in her ear: "Don't let the bastards get you down."
October 16, 1992. Madison Square Garden.
Sinéad O'Connor was 25 years old and already one of the most recognizable voices in music. Her haunting cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" had made her a global superstar. But on this night, she wasn't walking into an arena of fans.
She was walking into an ambush.
Two weeks earlier, Sinéad had done something unthinkable on live television. On Saturday Night Live, she had performed an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War," changing the lyrics to protest child abuse. Then, staring directly into the camera, she held up a photograph of Pope John Paul II, tore it into pieces, and said two words: "Fight the real enemy."
The backlash was instantaneous and brutal.
Death threats poured in. Radio stations banned her music. The Catholic Church condemned her. Even other artists distanced themselves. Frank Sinatra said he wanted to "kick her in the ass." Joe Pesci, hosting SNL the following week, said if he'd been there, he would have "gave her such a smack."
But Sinéad didn't apologize. She didn't back down. She tried to explain—she was protesting the systemic child abuse within the Catholic Church, abuse that was being covered up at the highest levels. But in 1992, nobody wanted to hear it. The idea that the Catholic Church was protecting pedophile priests was considered conspiracy theory, anti-Catholic bigotry, the ramblings of a troubled young woman.
So when she arrived at Madison Square Garden for Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert, she knew what was coming.
The concert was a star-studded event—Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, Eric Clapton, George Harrison. Legends everywhere. And then there was Sinéad, the woman America wanted to destroy.
Kris Kristofferson was chosen to introduce her. He was a legend himself—a Rhodes Scholar, an Army Ranger captain turned songwriter, the man who wrote "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down." He had lived enough life to recognize courage when he saw it.
As Sinéad waited backstage, the tension was suffocating. She could hear the crowd—20,000 people who had already decided she was the villain.
Kris walked out to introduce her. He kept it simple, dignified. He said her name.
The booing started immediately.
It wasn't a scattered response. It was a WALL of sound—a unified, hateful roar that seemed to shake the rafters of Madison Square Garden. Boos, jeers, catcalls. People were standing, shouting, making obscene gestures. This wasn't a rejection of a performance. This was a mob calling for blood.
Sinéad walked out onto that stage—a tiny woman with a shaved head, wearing baggy clothes that seemed to swallow her frame—and the noise intensified. The contempt was physical, like a wave trying to push her back into the wings.
She was supposed to sing "I Believe in You," a Dylan song about faith in the face of rejection. But she couldn't. The hatred was too loud, too overwhelming. She stood there, frozen, as the booing continued.
Then she did something extraordinary.
Instead of singing the planned song, she started to scream-sing Bob Marley's "War"—the same song she'd performed on SNL, the same words that had caused the controversy: "Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned... Until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes... Until that day, the dream of lasting peace will remain but a fleeting illusion."
She wasn't singing anymore. She was fighting back. Her voice was raw, defiant, angry. She was saying: If you're going to destroy me, I'm going down standing.
The booing got louder. People were throwing things. The hostility was so intense that security guards moved closer to the stage.
Sinéad couldn't finish. The wall of hate was impenetrable. She stopped mid-verse and walked off.
Kris Kristofferson met her in the wings.
She was shaking—adrenaline, rage, humiliation all colliding at once. Tears were streaming down her face. She looked like she might collapse.
Kris put his arms around her, pulled her close, and whispered directly into her ear: "Don't let the bastards get you down."
In that moment—surrounded by people who wanted to erase her, in an industry that was turning its back on her, in a culture that had decided she deserved to be punished—one person saw her clearly. Not as a publicity stunt. Not as a troubled celebrity. But as a young woman telling the truth at enormous personal cost.
Kris later wrote a song for her. He called it "Sister Sinead." The lyrics captured something essential about what he'd witnessed that night—a person too brave to be broken, too honest to be tamed, too true to flicker out.
The song acknowledged the obvious question everyone was asking: Was she crazy? Maybe. But so were all the people throughout history who saw things others couldn't see, who spoke truths others weren't ready to hear. Picasso was called crazy. The saints were called crazy. Every prophet, every truth-teller, every person who refused to stay silent when silence was easier—they were all called crazy first.
And then, years later, the world caught up.
In 2002—ten years after Sinéad tore up that photo—the Boston Globe published an investigation that changed everything. They revealed what Sinéad had been trying to say: the Catholic Church had been systematically covering up child sexual abuse for decades. Priests were molesting children, and bishops were protecting the priests. It wasn't a conspiracy theory. It was documented fact.
The revelations spread worldwide. Ireland, where Sinéad was from, was particularly devastated by the findings. Thousands of victims came forward. The cover-ups were extensive, institutional, and exactly what Sinéad had been trying to expose.
She had been right all along.
But by then, her career was already destroyed. The public eventually admitted she'd been telling the truth, but they never really apologized. She never got her moment of vindication on that same Madison Square Garden stage. The industry that blacklisted her never came back with an offer to make things right.
Sinéad O'Connor spent the rest of her life dealing with mental health struggles, fighting to be heard, trying to make music in an industry that had branded her as "difficult" and "unstable." She converted to Islam in 2018, taking the name Shuhada' Sadaqat. She continued to speak truth, continued to refuse to be what others wanted her to be.
In July 2023, Sinéad O'Connor died at age 56. The tributes poured in—many from the same people and institutions that had destroyed her decades earlier. They called her a "prophet." They praised her "courage." They acknowledged she had been right about the Church abuse.
But she never heard those tributes. She died knowing that telling the truth had cost her everything.
Kris Kristofferson—the man who whispered those words in her ear—understood something that night in 1992 that most people didn't.
He understood that history is full of people who were punished for being right too early. He understood that courage looks a lot like craziness when you're the only one standing. He understood that the people who change the world are almost always destroyed first and celebrated later.
In that moment backstage, he couldn't give her back her career. He couldn't make the booing stop. He couldn't protect her from what was coming—the years of exile, the struggle, the pain.
But he could do one thing: He could see her. Really see her. Not as the villain the mob had decided she was, but as his sister in the ancient tradition of truth-tellers who refuse to be silenced.
"Don't let the bastards get you down."
Five words that said: I know what you did was brave. I know why you did it. I know they'll make you pay for it. But don't you dare let them convince you that you were wrong.
Twenty years after that night, Sinéad finally spoke publicly about what Kris had done for her. She said those words—whispered in a moment when the whole world was screaming—had kept her alive. When she wanted to give up, when she thought maybe they were right and she was just crazy, she remembered: Kris Kristofferson believed her.
Sometimes that's all it takes. One person who refuses to join the mob. One person who stands with you when standing with you costs them something. One person who whispers the truth when everyone else is screaming lies.
Sinéad O'Connor was 25 years old when she walked onto that stage. She was just a young woman trying to protect children from the institution that had failed to protect them. She paid for that courage with her career, her reputation, and ultimately, many would argue, her life.
But she never stopped telling the truth.
And decades later, when the world finally admitted she was right, it was too late for her to hear it.
There's a lesson in this that we keep refusing to learn: The people we call crazy today might be the prophets we celebrate tomorrow. The voices we silence might be the ones we most needed to hear. The women we tear down for being "too much"—too angry, too loud, too honest—might be the only ones brave enough to say what everyone else is too afraid to say.
Sinéad O'Connor tore up a photograph to protect children. The world tore her apart for it.
And when she needed someone to stand with her, one man did.
Don't let the bastards get you down.
Those five words mattered then. They matter now. They'll matter forever.
