حاجت روا

سمجھتا ہے خدا کو صرف جو حاجت روا اپنا ۔
وہ غیر اللہ کے در کا کبھی سائل نہیں ہوتا ۔

“Who understands Allah alone as one’s Hajat Rawa*,
will never be a suppliant at the doors of Ghairullah.”

* Hajat Rawa = The One who fulfills needs.

Imdadullah, what have you brought?

Once Hadhrat Haji Imdadullah Muhajir Makki Sahab نوراللہ مرقدہ said,

“If Allah will ask, ‘Imdadullah, what have you brought?’ – then I would answer ‘I’ve brought Maulana Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi رحمۃ اللہ علیہ and Maulana Qasim Nanotwi رحمۃ اللہ علیہ.’“

Subhan’Allah, how much confidence Hadhrat Haji Sahad had on these two personalities. Through this prosperous saying the worth of both in they eyes of Hadhrat can be assumed.

To Practise Upon Knowledge

Take Yourself to Account

My father respected Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ (rahmatullah alayh) would say, one day in a year business people close their businesses, to take account of the whole year’s business and to find out how much loss and profit was made. In the same way we need as well to take account of how much we have studied through out the year and how much we practiced upon and what changes came. Not that it’ll be like this…

“As a small donkey he came and as a big donkey he left.”

ہمت

-یہ دنیا اہل دنیا کو بسی ہوئ معلوم ہوتی ہے
-نظر والوں یہ اجڑی ہوئ معلوم ہوتی ہے
-یہ کس نے کردیا سب دوستوں سے مجھے بیگا نہ
-مجھے اب تو دوستی بھی دشمنی معلوم ہوتی ہے
-میں رونا اپنا روتا ہوں تو وہ ہنس ہنس کے سنتے ہیں
-انہیں دل کی لگی ایک دل لگی معلوم ہوتی ہے
-اگر ہمت کرے تو کیا نہیں انسان کے بس میں
-یہ ہے کم ہمتی جو بے بس معلوم ہوتی ہے

ساحل نہ رہا

-کشتی نہ رہی ساحل نہ رہا ساحل کی تمنا بھی نہ رہی
-اے پوچنے والے ظاہر ہے انجام ہمارا کیا ہوگا
-اے موج ہوازج ان کو بھی دو چار تھپیڑے ہلکے سے
-کچھ لوگ ابھی تک ساحل پر طوفان کا نظارہ کرتے ہیں

“No boat nor coast is left – even the desire for a coast didn’t stay.
Oh enquirers, it’s obvious what our finis will be.
Oh waves of incidents, give them two or four light slaps, too.
A few people on the coast are still observing the tornado.”

Free Speech Fundamentalism

All praise is due to Allah Who has balanced human interaction between the scales of “Rights and Obligations”. May His choicest salutations continue to descend on our Master and Leader who fulfilled his obligations to fellow man yet rarely demanded his own rights.

“On the Day their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions.” (24:24)

Freedom of speech has recently dominated international debate and discourse pursuant to the provocative reprinting of the caricatures by seventeen newspapers in Denmark. The reprinting of the cartoons came in the wake of three individuals who were allegedly caught plotting the murder of the cartoonist. According to the newspapers the reprinting of the cartoons was to ’show solidarity’ with the cartoonist and to reaffirm their ‘right to freedom of speech and expression’.

Allah Resides In Broken Hearts

Our Dr. Hadhrat Muhammad Abdul Hayy Sahib (Rahmatullah Alayh), used to recite a couplet of poetry. He used to say that when Almighty Allah breaks the heart of any of His servants He desires to lift him to greater heights. These shocks, anxieties and sorrows which come to men are forced exertions in the path of Deen (faith) by which men progress by leaps and bounds to higher degrees and this is not possible in normal circumstances. He frequently recited this couplet:

-یہ کھہ کے کسہ ساز پیالہ پنگ دیا
-اب اور کچھ بنائن گے اس کو بگاڑ کے

“The potter threw down the pot to break it saying that after breaking it he would re-shape it (in a better form).”
