My 130th Post: Bath Of Sand


Yay dunya fani hai
Daulat to ani jani hai
Is dunya say dil mat lagao
Ik din mout galay lagani hai

In the above poetry, I speak of the limited time we have in this life which we think is going to last forever....this world is going to end one day and nothing is going to be left behind....all the treasures we hunt and all the wealth which we have stored under our pillows is going vanish one day as if nothing ever existed before...there is no use of loving this life because we are going to die one day and that day, we would have command over nothing at all....our bodies are going lie in the ground, baring the burden of sand covering us from head to toe....only a single piece of cloth would shield us from that sand but that still would be of no use because after death, there would be nothing to do just to wait for the time when we get answer for our deeds...
If you see around yourself, all you will find is man running after worldly possessions whether money or love just something which is never going to exist forever...such fools we are...when there is some power which we know and believe is going to remain forever...He was there before us and would remain after us....but still we run away from Him and try to grab what He made for our happiness....yes, we should try to earn what surrounds us but that does not mean that we run after them like a person on a quest of water in a desert....why don't we truly love the One who is always going to be there...why not to earn His respect and His love rather than trying to rise in the eyes of the creation....pleasing the creation might be a nice way to please the Creator but if the Creator Himself is calling upon us and is there if we reach for Him then why to waste time....I am a sinner myself....I know I am going to die one day and I know that I am not going to take anything with me when I die and I am well aware of the fact that when I die, people will mourn after me but they will move on with the passing days...yes, my parents will always miss me, my siblings will always think of me and my friends would always will to be in my company but they will move on....life won't end with me....I am just a piece of grain which contributes a little to the entire beach....I am nothing and would change nothing with my death....time will pass as it always does....this is just not a writer's made up imagination or just words of thought but I have experienced this....I have lost someone recently and she is not here in our lives but still, we are living....we do cry from time to time but we have picked up upon our routine....
Before the time arrives when am bathed in the sand and have nothing to care about, I want to do some rights...I don't want to die as a sinner and I really will to please my Lord so that I may end in a peaceful place, not in the tormenting hell...we all should do good because money may buy even love these days but it won't buy a place in heaven....getting rich is good but a person should always remember that graves of rich and poor are the same only the difference would be in their greed and their deeds....think of this world as a station which we are going to leave when the train arrives and till then, we should be nice with the strangers waiting along side us....we shouldn't live as selfish souls, instead our motive should be to help and heal the wounds which we think are in our power to cover...I hope we all do good and each time we think about something bad, we should remember our death staring at us from a corner we are unaware of...

Mout to ani hai
Yay dunya fani hai
Meri zindagi ki har baat
Ek mamuli si kahani hai

My 81st Post: Black And White


Stand in front of a mirror and concentrate upon what you see....for most of you, there would be two eyes, one nose and one mouth which we call a normal face...but after you see that, your eyes would drift towards the complexion you are having....complexion....somehow the world stands still when it comes to that part of the face....every inch of concentration starts diverting over that and your image remains in the mirror for next half an hour till you are completely satisfied with what you have or know how to change it and make it better....
This complexion, the colour your breed is, became the reason of many fights over the history and still is a reason for degradation and difference amongst the society we are living in....what kind of a world is this where we want peace but a white can't proudly accept black or a black can't truely trust white....the rest of the colours are outcast....how can this world unite if this racism is passed on from generation to generation.....how can peace be blessed upon us if we can't stand the sight of someone of different colour or can't stand with them without moking their type?
It is true that these days the problems have reduced as the newer generations don't really care about cast, creed or colour but still the wars go on and daily thousands die due to their differences....this hatred have blackened the hearts of many and no matter how much someone tries to reeducate them, things are the same in their mind....I always wonder for example, Pakistan and India fought way back in history and so got seperated but that really doesn't means that we, the new generation continue that war....I don't disagree with my readers from either side that there were unfair acts but that are done....we can't just keep on raging the fire which once destroyed millions of homes, instead we can try to come to a peace point which might balance both nations and let each other breath their own free air.....in the same way, the difference in the colour is just the shade nothing else....that doesn't really describes a certain personality....it is not the colour which contibutes positively or negatively to this world, it is the person under that skin who chooses to create or destroy our world.....
Noone has a right to judge me upon the type of skin I wear.....I may be black, white or somewhere in between but that doesn't tells anyone what I think....the torture in the past by many due to colour difference is just outrageous and undefined...that nation can't stand in front of the world with that history and call them as the elite nation from the begining....those my friends were worst than barbarians and can never be titled as 'The Gentlemen'.....I don't know where this came from but somehow I was baring this thought in my heart....or maybe it is just because of the novel I have been reading recently which have really pinched my soul....
I hope things change and discrimination ends with the upcoming time....

Do share your thoughts upon this and share this post with others.....

My 80th Post: Heros


What's that in the sky? Is that a bird? No, that is a plane...no, that is a dog on fire....people!! for God's sake, that is Superman!!! so for most of us, that was the childhood fantasy....a guy with a cape or a guy running with the speed of light, some turtles from outer space or a guy with his underpants worn upon his pants who would rush up to the crime scene and save the day....well that was only in cartoons or comics but not in real life....we were so much involved in those stories that we started acting like our favorite superhero and pretended to fly from one place to another simply by jumping off a couch to another....
With time, as the minds grew more mature, things started becoming more realistic and the dream of meeting superman or batman vanished into thin air....though the imagination remained but it became something more complicated....the superheros wearing capes and masks became the ones who held guns and defeated the entire armies single handed or the ones, like Jackie Chan, who could beat the sweat outta bad guys without any weaponary just by fighting bare handed......things like that became more facinating but that was only till the extent of entertainment....
Who are heros? That is one real question floating in my mind right now....are they really the ones whom we see on tv or do they really possess special abilities just like Chulbul Pandey? No, not really...they are just like us only baring a difference in their attitude and their dedication....the people in our armies or any other forces are heros and the ones who go to an extreme to save their country or someone are superheros.....I guess that just narrows the term because in my view, not only a person who fights with power is a hero and can upgrade to a superhero but I think anyone who fights for the right purpose even with the help of his/her words may be designated as a hero....
Imagine someone taking a stand over something which isn't really helpful for him/her but still that someone wills to provide a means of justice...that someone might turn out to be a hero and may be defined as a superhero by the work he/she did....so if I really define what a hero is then I would say someone, no matter how old or whatever gender he/she belongs to, who is willing to go to any extent just to make a wrong into right....for that it isn't required to literally save someone's life, but it can be anything which brings out a smile upon an innocent's face and is cherished with what he/she was trying to conquer but couldn't....you can be a hero for a child by saving his/her cat or a hero for old by helping them cross the street or by simply passing a heartful smile...
Anyone can be a hero, it just requires a positive intension and a loving heart....try doing something for others....believe me, that feeling which you get when you are praised by their smiles, is out of this world...try changing things and stop searching for heros or superheros here and there...instead search for that someone in your own soul....that would be a mighty step towards the betterment of our world and our society....

My 59th Post: Vendetta/Revenge

A dish which is most delicious when it is served quickly and it is ranked not according to its presentation but according to the effect which it leaves...this dish is well known as revenge and the beauty of this is that no one has to be a master chef in order to nail its delight….revenge is one of the oldest law in the books and as much I recall, it isn’t a crime to take revenge though only the condition is that it shouldn’t exceed the torment of the crime….
These days life is getting tough by each passing moment….people are getting irritated day by day and when someone even pushes someone due to an accident, the other person makes it his soul responsibility to seek revenge….it is just getting out of hands…the peaceful nature of this human race is near its extinction...once people forgot and moved on when someone hurt them but these days the old scars don't wash up so easily just like the scar upon Harry Potter's forehead....the children, even they have a long list under the heading of revenge...
This is really not how a person's life should be....yes, there are evil doers and to forgive them seems real tough because they hurt on purpose but still a mighty heart fellow can forgive....but what about the little kid across the street who came in your way when you were rushing home and because of him you weren't able to see the final goal of the world cup....well this definitely sounds a big deal of disappointment but this doesn't really means that you are going to do the same by making him miss the final episode of dragon ball z's series....that would feel good inside but what if that kid didn't show up on purpose? what if that kid was just passing by and saw you so wanted to spend some time with you? won't you feel guilty of what you did by making him miss his favorite show's last episode....but even if he did on purpose, so what...you missed a single goal...what is the big deal in that....repeating what he did would make you no good than him....there always should be a good side and a bad one....if you both become the bad sides, the comparison won't be made and things would just become bad...there won't be any balance anymore....
With each generation passing by, the anger meter is raising its limits....things are mostly dealt with aggression rather than going upon them with a peaceful mind....if this continues then each and every solution would lead to a war and this world would die out soon....lets try to be more forgiving from now on...that would save a lot of our energy and leave a better example for our future generations....revenge might be sweet but having this world is more precious....

My 56th Post: The Rage Continues

The film which was posted few weeks ago, still has its watermarks....it still remains undecided whether to take action upon it in the favor of the Muslims or just to leave it as it is.....
In my point of view, we Muslims haven't protested in the right manner....what some editors or news casters say may be true to some extent because it is correct that a matter can't be solved by literally burning down the cause, it needs to be solved peacefully and that would receive a better support throughout the world...
In these past few days, I have seen Muslims burning down shops and restaurants and in all that action, lives were lost....a peaceful protest would have caught the eye of many and would have won the hearts of those who are just neutral but protests like these have just provoked people against this....why would someone support this cause if they lost something during the protest and weren't even a part of it?
I agree, at times drastic measures are to be taken and this was among those times but before taking that step, a peaceful call could have been made instead of going out on the streets and flagging war...there were groups who really tried to make it as peaceful as possible but thanks to our media, they got no attention and all their hard work sank down the shores....
I can take an example of my country....what ever happened within these few days, got out of control....people went to an extent of burning down police vehicles and even banks...seriously? didn't anyone tell them that this is already a Muslim country and what ever they do would only bring a loss for one of the Muslim nations....I really don't know what they were really thinking but what ever it was, it was wrong...things shouldn't be like this...hurting yourself because someone unknown pushed you in the mud would only harm you, not that pusher....what he did, was fun for him and what you did, was foolishness....
If Muslims really want to show respect for their Prophet (S.A.W) then there is a simple way which would make those people realize that they are something....instead of burning down a place you own, try boycotting what they own....just like the recent boycott of YouTube....a simple step but can tremble many....there are many sites which our governments can block...once the revenue earned is reduced, they would take Muslims more seriously....in such a way, there are many other things if a person sits down to think with a calm mind....
Be realistic people and think before you do something....try to settle scores peacefully and if that don't work, try to work out things with logic just like during a game of chess....

My 54th Post: Down Goes Youtube

There is still a madness going around....I see people protesting all over the world and the best part is that they aren't only Muslims...people from every religion are against the film created on the bases of the terms that no matter what the religion is, it should be respected...
One of the reasons of the quick spread of the videos is YouTube....it kept the videos available for the viewers even after being requested for taking it down....I really can't understand why youtube feels it as a nice act to keep up the videos....some people would answer to this question by saying that it is earning through it so there isn't any reason for YouTube to turn down to a business offer....I would reply to them that no matter how much it got paid, it lost millions of viewers just for supporting these videos.... YouTube is banned in most of the Muslim countries and even when the ban would be lifted, some of its permenent members would leave the site forever....
The ratio of videos uploaded or the likes, views or comments made by the Muslims is way too high....Muslims aren't a small body, instead they are a lot of people from different places upon this planet....losing these users is a bad deal....we stayed there for YouTube and kept it up for so long and remained loyal to the site, now it is their responsiblity to support us and stand besides us in our cause....
This is a humble request to the owner of YouTube to take down any offensive video no matter which religion it affects....play a better hand in the riots taking place these days....I am not only saying this as a Muslim, am also saying this as a human so for the sake of humanity, take down those videos and try to restore peace back on this planet....
Well if you have already taken them down, then I am really sorry because I don't have an excess to youtube.com these days in my country....and if you haven't, then this notion against YouTube won't end that soon....so kindly help us decide properly in selecting whether to keep the site banned or turn it back on....
Peace to everyone and support the right....

My 53rd Post: A Sigh for Peace

There are only two kinds of people on this planet; those who are good and those who are bad...there isn't really much difference in between rest....people, from ages, try to distinguish others upon their cast, color, breed or their religion...they never stand there to realize that the ones they are trying to separate, breathe the same way they do...walk their style and grow like they do...the only difference at times is their tongue or their style, nothing else....if A has the same body function as B, then how is it possible to select a unique one and mark it the alpha letter....it ain't...
Throughout history, there have been wars upon the reasons of religion, cast or even the color....why? were they really necessary? some people would say they were but leaving the fact that some tribe or nation was defending themselves, then how can a war be useful....the greed of power trolls the mankind and makes it believe that the most powerful person is the one who conquers everyone else....it never tells that the real power is in unity and also that a person can only remain powerful till there is no one strong enough to oppose him....what happens the day when someone takes down the most powerful man? that someone is known as the most powerful man around and then someone else tries to take his place and the cycle continues....in all that, the former rulers who were dragged down from their positions are forgotten and they die a miserable death or maybe just maybe they may be remembered for few more years....struggling one's whole life just for that is simply useless....
The most powerful man or the one who is deserving to be upon that seat is the one who does something for the mankind not only for himself....the one who serves his entire life in order to support someone whom he never really knew...he is the one who would be remembered beyond the times of mankind and he is the one who would be respected when remembered....
Starting a war in order to spread peace is just like writing on large sheets of paper a note to save trees....this all seems senseless....peace is a tough thing to bring in this frustrated world...no one here has enough time to stop and listen or to read what someone has to say....if I talk about myself, then I am not that peaceful either but still am trying to put in my efforts to do something....it is really tough but what's wrong in trying....all the above words may seem boring to many but if you view them with a clear thought, then all this writing means  a lot....
If there is peace through out this planet, everything would sooth down and things would seem better...life would flourish again and it would shape out beautifully....it is the base for a jolly life and without peace all our education and hard work would go in vain because a day would soon arrive when there would be nothing to maintain and no one to stand along with...
Differences can be solved and if not, then they can be ignored...no need of fighting over something which has no answer....no need to prove someone wrong by forcing them to change their view, just try to convince them and if that doesn't works, then it is not in our power....there is no need of portraying anger, just let others live and if you have a complaint that no one let you live, then try to widen your thoughts and smile to a new beginning....
Peace to All the readers and their families and everyone, everyone knows...

My 29th Post: Morning

The time for the moon to fall in its deep sleep....the time when the sun rises and shines the night good bye....morning, the lovely and peace filled feeling which can't be described with minimum set of words.....its when everything awakes from the death which filed in just for a while.....the flowers start to bloom, the wind chatters around, the birds fly of in the sky......a time which makes even the toughest man will to capture for life....
Morning, a blessing for all.....only the lucky ones get a chance to sense it everyday with a boost of moving ahead and the inspiration of shooting the goals....its a gift to a soul to repent and do good as it got an other chance over the ones who couldn't make it to see the new dawn.....its a sensational feeling which makes belief that life grows and with time when one is lost, an other takes its place.....
The fresh winds of the morning makes a person drool of to wonderland.....its sweet and lovely smell resembles the smell of victory in someone's life....the chanting of birds give the proof that a new rise has begun and its the time to get on going with day's work....a new start to what ever was left behind the night before, a new era of delight and a start to a happy beginning.....
Mornings may be different in different places but the story in the hearts is same, a rise.....some people start of with mourning someone and others boost of the victory of a nation....no matter what but it is the same feeling for anyone....
In my city, mornings have their special taste....the winds blow, birds sing and flowers bloom like any other place but those are added on with the sounds of local business men who arrive to sell items door to door....on the other end there would be a sweeper cleaning the streets and screaming at the kids to watch out for the trash he collected....those kids would be off to school and play throughout their journey....children who are young to leave for school, line up to buy bread and milk from the salesmen.....the street starts getting busy with time and then at afternoon, everything stops and again it is just like the environment of a night just with a brightened sun up on our heads....
Morning is one of the best parts of my day, though I rarely am up for it but still that is the time when I breath once for thousands of times....

My 27th Post: Music

The intoxicating invention every created is Music....that is the only drug which gets you high in any state and at any moment....its the reason to rock and the reason to roll....music expresses everything in head and music is one of the rare things which allow someone to speak from the depths of their heart and people listen to it with respect and concentration....
Wars were fledged cause of music, wars ended cause of music, people rose cause of music and also people died cause of music....music has a strong history throughout different nations....nations were made with the push by the music and nations destroyed cause of the craze initiated by the music....
There are many genres of music...hard, rock, classical, jazz, slow and etc....and for me, everything is music even I love to hear the sound of the keys when I type....that is a master piece for my ears....I love to hear the fan when it rotates, the wind when it blows rising through the curtains....I mean everything has harmony in it just needs a person to sense it.....I love the sounds specially in the morning when the birds sing, wind slowly keeps blowing here and there playing with everything which comes in its way and making other noises, that is just beautiful....
The power of music can move hearts....it is said that it can even make a stone cry....well that is a saying which means that music has enough power to turn something impossible into possible....something about music is that it takes into a world which is just in our thoughts, we only sense it but don't have an excess to....sometimes that world is locked and then music unlocks it.....it brings back memories and glories which we had....just marks the footings for something so that it can be recalled in the future....there are songs in my head which have different memories...like the song of my school's graduation....when ever I play that, everything comes back in front of me...
There have remained the kings and queens of music who may be from a country different than mine, but are equally respected and that is the best thing....music joins nations and teaches people to respect.....those rulers knew or know what and how to touch the hearts of millions but what they didn't predict was that they wouldn't only touch the hearts but would tear free....
Hats off to all those legends and to the rising legends of the music industry throughout the world.....

My 12th Post:Iftar

aww...honestly when the time for iftar comes, that's the expression by any Muslim who waited nearly whole day to get something down his/her throat....For anyone who is still unaware of the thing am talking about, let me just give them an intro.....
Among all of the months, there is a month in the Lunar calender named "Ramadan"....its a sacred month in which Muslims from any nation fast from dawn to the time the sky deepens in its blue colour....well it is compulsory to keep oneself clean both in thoughts and manners through out the year but in this month specially during the fast, it is obligatory for the faster to follow some rules.....these consist of doing good deeds, maintaining a distance from anything which Allah dislikes and most importantly, keeping the stomach away from both food and water.....
Fast starts with sehri and ends with iftar....iftar is the time when Muslims sit down in peace and wait for the azaan(call of prayers) of Maghrib....that is the time when we are allowed to open our fast and eat what we desire, keeping in mind that, that should be halal....
Some of the readers who are Muslims would disagree with the expression I used as they would say that they would go on with their fast and don't mind if iftari time was near or far....I disagree with all due respect....yes, we fast cause its an order by our Lord but if we don't feel the impact of a fast then it is just like a daily routine movement.....
When the time of iftar comes, in my view and experience that is the time when I really want to dig in....just imagine a table covered with delicious, mouth watering food items....still more to come but no space to keep them....you see the world of delight flashing before your eyes....specially in summers when you are fasting, it is really tough cause there is a desire for water every 5 minutes and at the time of iftar, there are jugs filled with beverages, perfectly chilled just waiting for you to pour in your glass....I mean its just like someone who went to cola shop after spending a week in desert.....trust me the picture in my eyes is really a dream come true.....
But at that very moment another thought hits my eye....I am going to munch down everything which is in front of me just in few minutes but what about the people who can't? there are people on streets who can't even afford a proper one time meal, who can't fill their stomach but still are trying to live....I am blessed with the riches masha-Allah which is why I can eat, but did I earn them? certainly I did cause Allah gave them to me...then the question arrives what can I give in return....what can someone give to someone who owns everything? there is nothing except being grateful and that is on of the biggest things to do....being grateful really helps in keeping the mind clean and pure....what if I was among the poor? but I am not so in return I can  say thank you to Allah and try to help His other creation which ain't that lucky like me....
well that is little something upon iftar and all and now I am going to show you what iftar is....check out the picture and do like and comment....Tc
