Joy for harassment is a sinful act

We have always seen joy for harassment in our lives. Specifically, as a kid, people used to torture others and they were all pleased for them. Among them were torturing neighbors by knocking the doors and escaping away, stoning the tree and break the windows of the neighbors, shouting, playing disturbing games in the street, throwing water on the people as they pass the street, and other tortures. All these joys were there because of inadequate wisdom in us. As a kid, nobody would complain against you because you are a kid, and you cannot be punished. While this is not a good moral. Every religion teaches us to avoid annoying people, and always try to help them. Specifically, our beloved religion, Islam strictly commands us to avoid torturing and teasing people. Allah forgives Huqoq-Ullah and does not forgive Huqoq-al-ibad. This means that if you commit a sin, you will be forgiven; but if you do something bad to a person, Allah will not forgive it, and you will be punished. We should obey this command of Allah and try not to harass people. Moreover, it does not take to be religious to respect people, it all requires you to be a human. A real human understands not to annoy people and respect the people. In contrast, people have continued this tradition in their senior life stages. Every marriage and wedding party is not taken but to harass and disturb people. Every ill people suffer from the disturbance created by the marriage and wedding ceremonies. Other celebrations also harass people. A national celebration in Afghanistan led to 13 deaths in Kabul city, which does not, actually, worth it. The countries that are developed ethically do not celebrate like animals; they celebrate like humans. They try to make others happy instead of harassment and making them unhappy. Independent days of different countries are celebrated by the people to make each other happy and raise each other. On the other hand, on this day the people suffer the most harassment. They spread hatred instead of love. Every really has an ambulance with them to reach the injures to hospitals in case of a fight. But this is not the way. The government must cut the roots, no the stem. They must stop people from making violence. Many people get injured due to fights and accidents in the independence days.

This is a sinful act. As a human being, and as Muslim, we must avoid this tradition, and let go of the ignorance. We urge the government to control this, and we urge people to change their minds and do what is better for them.

 

Good lies vs sweet lies

 

Good lies vs sweet lies

 

We have always been hearing about lies to be bad and sinful, but we never saw all those positive backgrounds of lies. Some people misused the positive background of lies to tell sweet lies. All these sweet lies exacerbated the reputation of positives outcomes of lies. There quotes that prefer painful truths than sweet lies, and they are true. This is a factor for you to support the truth even if it is bitter or difficult. On the other hand, there is a point beyond all these levels of lies which is called good lies. Good lies are the ones that you lie for the betterment of a situation, condition of a situation, improve morality in the children, and calming down anger. These lies may seem against the truth and look a little like those sweet lies, but they both differ a lot. We may have done some these in our practical lives, and gotten positive results. It really works in giving positive results. If you frighten a kid by telling a lie to stop them from doing immoral works and activities, it’s a good lie; not a sweet one. Many people have changed the lives of many people and have given them better lives by telling lies to them, and they are not evils, but they are angels who have bettered the lives of many people. In order to make something better, lies are also fine to tell. You may lie, but you must think if that lie has more virtues than it has sins and vice. More than 90% of the lies are wicked, but you can use that remaining 10% for the betterment of things, which does not really go against the code and principals of humanity. If you stop a child from doing wicked things which may later change the future of that kid. He/she will, one day, thank you for telling him a lie. If a lie can bring betterment, how can it not be virtuous?

We should try to benefit from everything including lies, but we should be able to differ good lies and sweet lies.

"من کنت مولاه فهذا علي مولا"

The Muslims and the holy prophet were returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage. They reached a place called Ghadeer-Khum, and it was the 18th of Zo-Al-hajjah. Verse of the Quran was revealed instructing the prophet Muhammad to deliver an important message. The holy prophet was told to deliver this important message which was as important that if he didn’t deliver that message, means he has not done prophecy. The holy prophet was amazed at that last, and important message. Then, the Muslims were gathered and Muhammad delivered a lengthy sermon. The speech included the famous statement by Muhammad that "to whomsoever I am Mawla, Ali is also their Mawla;" According to Ahmad al-Tabarsi's transcript, Muhammad also described Ali with the leadership titles Imam, Ameer, and Khalifah in the lengthy speech. After that, the Muslims, specifically Shi’ite, celebrate this day as Eid-Al-Ghadeer. The Saadat people (The direct decedents of the Holy Prophet of Islam) celebrate it warmly and visit each other. The following verse of the Quran was then revealed: "This day I have perfected your Religion for you: Completed My favor upon you, and have chosen For you Islam as your Religion."This verse (the third verse of Surah Al-Maidah, the fifth chapter of the Quran) was the last verse of the Quran to be revealed. On that day, Islam was completed by that last message of the holy prophet of Islam. But it all changed, the last and most important message was delivered, but it was not obeyed. Only a minority of the Muslims accepted Ali (A.S) as their savior and their Khalifah. The Majority of the Muslims decided to select their Khalifah but election and voting. Abu Bakr was then selected the Khalifah of the Muslims. Khalifah by word means Muslim leader selected by God, while the Muslims selected their leader by their own voting. The most important message of Allah was disobeyed and then, the Muslim world and ummah were weakened and are not very close to the actual teachings of the holy prophet.

We must always believe and do whatever we were commanded by our Lord, and do not disobey God.

The misconception in our educational system

The misconception in our educational system

 

There are more than two hundred countries in the world. All these countries have diversity in everything. Some countries are very good and developed, while some countries are poor and not developed. If a country is rich and developed, the citizens of that country are valued at every corner of the world. If society is good, the nation and the country will be developed. But what creates a good society. There are many ideas, but a very good answer would be the educational system. If schools, colleges, universities are good, then society will be good because the students get older and build society. This means that the most important thing a country can focus on is education, not military or business or something else. There is no doubt that education plays the most important role in building the society. Every country must try to spend more and focus more on education. While there are countries who have not understood this theory very well and they still focus more on their military and other useless things. They do not focus on education. And this is the reason they will never develop. Pakistan and Afghanistan are one of those countries who have not understood this theory. 6 years old students in developed countries know programming, mathematics, business, and other good subjects. While due to misconception in our educational system, most of the matric students know nothing about programming. They are weaker than those 6 years of students in other counties. And we still demand betterment and development in our country.

Though there are many ways and modifications we can bring in our educational system, some of them are shared below. We must change our educational system or we will never improve and develop. There are some errors and misconceptions in our system which we must remove and modify. Firstly, the educational system in Pakistan is the system that Britain has given to us which is almost 100 years old. We must be updated. A 100 years old system cannot help us in this developed and technological era. We must modify the buildings of our schools. The schools in developed countries are well constructed and beautiful. While those kinds of beautiful buildings in Pakistan are owned by the government only. They do not even think of providing this for the students. Secondly, we must change our subjects. The subjects in developing countries are not very effective. They lack subjects like, physical education, Arts, Music, Technology, Business, Programming, Politics, Family Studies, Manners, Morality, and others. We must try to add these important subjects in our educational system. Thirdly, we must have qualified teachers. The teachers in developed countries have done their masters, and have studied teacher training courses for three years. Only then they are prepared to teach and nourish the students. While in Pakistan, even the matric students have jobs in schools for teaching. Fourthly, the society of the developed countries is a way that they value education more than money. People value education more than money. While in developing countries, society values money more than education. Robert Mugabe says that in a society where the power and money are with the ignorant people, how can you convince the youth to study? This is the case with the developing countries. The society must support education only then can they be developed in education.

 

Thought limitations

Thought limitations

There are many jobs, tasks, and works in the world. Nobody works or performs a task without a profit. Of course, nobody wants to waste their hard works. Some get jobs in hospitals as a doctor, nurse, accountant, cleaner, or anything, and anywhere they do not do it for free. They think of a profit and then perform it. It’s become custom for the people to think of a financial profit and then perform that work. Everybody has limited their thoughts to this stage. There is a complete world beyond this point which we all must visit and think about. It’s of being a profitable person to the nation and humanity. But this name is also misused by some people. They have individual profit intention, while they deceive the people in the name of community service, and they fly away as they got their benefits completed.

We are human beings and we should not limit our thoughts to our pocket only. While success is seeing our people and your nation successful. There are very less people who cross that point of thought and get a visit beyond that. They want their people to develop. They are the people who stay alive forever, we still remember the prophets of monotheism who tried to be profitable for the people. While other people had individual thoughts and they are dead. Nobody remembers them, not even their names. It becomes a compulsion for the people to think more about their society if their society is undeveloped. They need special thoughts, ideas, and planning for their people to get them out of darkness, and guide towards the light. Filling our pocket is not a difficult job. A real man thinks of his nation and the human race to be on the right path and keep their development steady.

Do not select to be in comfort.

Do not select to be in comfort.

Comfort is just another name of the word laziness. The people who crave comfort are, actually, lazy. A quote says “comfort makes you weak” which is absolutely correct. Since laziness can weaken a person, likewise, comfort; which is a brother of laziness; can weaken a person. Comfort is a state where you keep yourself far away from danger. It’s normal for the brain to do so. For instance, if there is fire on your street and you are being late for your school and you will, for sure, decide to stay home and avoid danger; or while you touch a hot tea, you pull back your hands to avoid danger. The brain wants to keep the body and the brain safe. Since thinking is an undesirable task for the brain, and a better way would be to avoid thinking and be safe. That’s what the brains does to us and we obey it and accept ourselves to be the slaves of our worldly desires. As it is said that “majority is coward” it is because they are not that brave to fight their ego. They cannot dare to fight their comfort desire. We usually accept things that people tell us, specifically if the give a slight reason and logic, the brains tries to avoid danger for its comfort and you try to agree whatever the person says. You do not want to ruin the state of your comfort and you accept whatever is said. This happens when you support the majority. The reason you support the majority is because it is in majority not that it is truth. The majority have agreed not to ruin their comfort and have become supporters of majority. This is where the enemies of your nation benefits from your nation. The holy prophet of Islam defeated their rivals and Kuffar which was called Jihad. But he included that great war, where many people were killed, a minor Jihad and he expressed the major Jihad as the Jihad withing ourselves. If we really want to complete the command of Jihad of the God, we must perform the major Jihad. It is because the battle which is within you makes you stronger and harder than you are before. If you lie your life in comfort, you will not be strong, you will not be able to fight situations, and solve problems. A poor boy is a hundred times stronger than a rich boy. Islam command us to better than our yesterday, to complete this command we must say no to comfort. Staying in comfort cannot make your day better than yesterday. As quoted “straight roads do not make skillful drivers” we can imagine that we must bear hardships to grow ourselves and make our day better than yesterday.

 

Excuses destroy you

Excuses destroy you

Some people make excuses for not being able to do something. Like the students fail and they make excuses that the teacher was not good, the class was noisy, they say that they had no time to study due to some problems, they say that they have studied the questions that didn’t come in the exam paper and other excuses. And when it comes to other achievements, also they try to make other excuses. They never think of doing an achievement, instead, they try to find excuses for not being able to do them. But this habit is going to lead them astray. They will never get a direction towards success. It’s all about will. If you decide strongly, you will not let the excuses come over you. And if you have a strong decision and will, you will complete your mission even if a thousand problems and excuses surround you. The people who make excuses are, actually, in their comfort zones. It is easier to find excuses than to get an achievement, but that will not improve you. Therefore, a better answer to this is to let go of your ease and work harder to get your mission completed. People find excuses because they are easier to find than to do their tasks. You should not be like the people, because people do not reach success, only a minority can reach success. One of the principles of success is to be away from the crowd. This does not mean to get a house out of the city, or town and live away from the people, but it means not to be lazy like them. It means to stop being like them and start working harder than them. All those successful people in history were not superhumans or angels, they were all the same human as we are. We have got the same structure and body. The only difference is of working and thinking. All those successful men never accepted excuses though they had many. Their will was stronger than their excuses. We can also be like them. They had no superiority than us. All we have to do is to say no to excuses and make stronger decisions than our excuses, and start working on your missions.
