O Monsoon (July 2019)

O Monsoon (July 2019)

The first rain of July happened this evening (July 04) in Lahore. It was in fact heavy downpour and Monsoon is here. Now humidity will increase in the atmosphere and we will be bound to start using Air-conditioners. Previously desert-coolers were being used in most homes till now.

Heavy rains are sadly disastrous for traffic and for poor people with weak houses which collapse. The government of Pakistan needs to pay special attention to working on preemptive measures on any flood situation in Pakistan in future. Assistance should be sought from all possible and credible quarters / departments of Pakistan.

Lahore Fort Statue - Message for Pak Government (July 2019)

Lahore Fort Statue - Message for Pak Government (July 2019)

Crafting sculptures or statues is part of Arts since thousands of years in the world. We Muslims have to sacrifice our urge sometimes which is in the name of Arts. Direct worshiping of statues is Shirk in Islam. However, Islamic traditions also not allow building or placement of statues (whether of Muslim or Non-Muslim personalities) either at homes or at public places and such practices only invite wrath of Allah in afterlife (as the final reward or punishment is in afterlife).

Claims of improving the poor's plight are all good. But it is very alarming that our new government on the other hand is taking some steps which are anti-Islam. For e..g. the unveiling of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh's statue in front of Lahore Fort is totally condemnable as Muslims should never erect statues anywhere and especially not public places as all that leads to bigger exposure.

We hope the government of Pakistan will take back its anti-Islam steps and the rulers of Pakistan will endeavour to understand the true spirit of Islam instead of following the popular trends of the world just like teenagers everywhere!

Maa ki dua - ماں کی دعا

ماں کی دعا

حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام نے ایک دفعہ اللہ تعالیٰ سے پوچھا میرے ساتھ جنت میں کون ہو گا ؟

ارشاد ہوا "فلاں قصاب تمہارے ساتھ ہو گا"

حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام کچھ حیران ہوئے اور اس قصاب کی تلاش میں چل پڑے وہاں دیکھا تو ایک قصاب اپنی دوکان میں گوشت بیچنے میں مصروف تھا ، اپنا کاروبار ختم کر کے اس نے ایک گوشت کا ٹکڑا ایک کپڑے میں لپیٹا اور گھر کی طرف روانہ ہو گیا ،حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام نے اس قصاب کے بارے میں مزید جاننے کیلئے بطور مہمان گھر چلنے کی اجازت چاہی۔

گھر پہنچ کر قصاب نے گوشت پکایا پھر روٹی پکا کر اسکے ٹکڑے شوربے میں نرم کیے اور دوسرے کمرے میں چلا گیا ،جہاں ایک انتہائی کمزور بڑھیا پلنگ پر لیٹی ہوئی تھی ، قصاب نے بمشکل تمام اسے سہارا دیکر اٹھایا ، ایک ایک لقمہ اسکے منہ میں دیتا رہا ، جب اس نے کھانا تمام کیا تو اس نے بڑھیا کا منہ صاف کر دیا کھانا کھا کر بڈھیا نے قصاب کے کان میں کچھ کہا ، جسے سن کر قصاب مسکرا دیا ، اور بڑھیا کو واپس لٹا کر باہر آ گیا۔

حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام جو یہ سب دیکھ رہے تھے ، آپ نے قصاب سے پوچھا یہ عورت کون ہے اور اس نے تیرے کان میں کیا کہا جس پر تو مسکرا دیا ؟

قصاب بولا اے اجنبی ! یہ عورت میری ماں ھے ، گھر پر آنے کے بعد میں سب سے پہلے اس کے کام کرتا ہوں تو خوش ہو کر روز مجھے یہ دعا دیتی ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ تجھے جنت میں حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام کے ساتھ رکھے اور میں مسکرا دیتا ہوں کہ میں کہاں اور موسیٰ کلیم اللہ کہاں ؟

Muslim Actress Quits Bollywood

ACTRESS ZAIRA WASIM DECIDES TO QUIT BOLLYWOOD ON RELIGIOUS GROUNDS

Religion wins for Dangal actress as she quits Bollywood on religious grounds. Zaira Wasim was criticized hard for the decision but Kudos to her for standing her ground.

Wasim confessed how she found peace when she connected with the Qur'an and her Creator. “In the great and divine wisdom of the Qur;an, I found sufficiency and peace. Indeed the hearts find peace when it acquires the knowledge of Its Creator, His Attributes, His Mercy and His commandments,” she added.

“Success isn’t correlated with our biased, delusional, and conventional shallow measures of life. Success is the accomplishment of the purpose of our creation. We have forgotten the purpose we were created for as we ignorantly continue to pass through our lives; deceiving our conscience,” she said.

Actors Anupem Kher and Ravina Tandon have criticized young Zaira on leaving Bollywood. Anupem Kher said that she has not left Bollywood herself but rather she was forced to leave. We do not expect senior Non-Muslim Actors like Anupem Kher to stoop so low and it is clear that they feel insecure about the film industry that way since Zaira has left due to her devotion to religion Islam. 

Zaira has also blasted the myth of worldly success through non-permissible measures in her comments which should serve as a strong lesson for us. This life is only temporary and still we do not make attempts to understand how to live it in accordance with the commandments of Allah and His Prophet (pbuh).

Almighty Allah (swt) says: "For him who desires the present (transitory) life (only) We shall hasten an immediate reward for him in this very life (giving) what We will to whom We will. But We have prepared hell for him, he shall enter it, condemned and rejected." - Qur'an, Surat Al-Isra, verse: 18
