Mazhabiyat v/s Insaaniyat

 Ye kab hua , kaisey hua ... πŸ€”


KyoN ki to baat hi nahi kar rahey filhaal ... πŸ™‚


Arrey yehi ... Mazhabiyat ka overdose ... !!!


Har koi preacher banaa hua hai aajkal

And you can never predict when a perfectly normal conversation would turn into a sermon ... !!!


Every time a discussion / conversation on why the Muslim community is facing backwardness , injustice and discrimination happens , you are loftily informed πŸ‘‡πŸ½

"Log Qur'an padh to letey haiN , lekin samajhtey nahi haiN ... Khuda ke bataaye raastey se bhatkeiNgey to aur kya hoga ... ???" 


Chalo ji ... Mil gayaa solution ... Ho gayi baat khatam ... !!! 


I have read The Holy Qur'an in Arabic


Aur phir Urdu translation bhi kaafi hadd tak padha hai 


But the preachers are not satisfied , they want you to "understand" the Message 


They will tell you to read the interpretation of these holy verses done by religious scholars 


And the ignorant me is wondering ke  

... kaun haiN ye log jin ko asal meiN iss Aasmaani Kitaab ko samajhney ki zaroorat hai ... πŸ€” ? 

... jo bhatkey huay haiN ... ??

Aur kya hai wo baat jo sirf religious scholars samajh rahey haiN , lekin aam log-baag nahi samajh paa rahey haiN πŸ€” ???


And why should I read someone else's interpretation ? 

That too of a centuries old text that is done by someone who lived in a time that is unimaginable in our time 

Or even by someone who is a contemporary ?


Just because they have studied Arabic and know the language of The Qur'an doesn't mean they have understood the Message to the extent of imposing their point of view on others 


Human intellect and knowledge is limited , and biased too , because like somebody has very rightly said , "no one sees what you see even if they see it too"


Is it any wonder then that our understanding and interpretation of anything and everything  ... be it a situation , a text , a relationship ... or whatever ... depends on where one is coming from 


A lot also depends on what one is trying to prove , evade or justify ...


Even the people whose only mission in life is to malign Muslims claim to have read and "understood" The Holy Qur'an !


So everyone has interpreted it as per their intelligence , needs and above all their vested interests


Khuda ne duniya banaayi ... insaan-haiwaan , phool-phal , nadiyaN-jharney , pahaad-samunder , darakht-jungle , jhaadiyaN-biyabaan ... Aur bhi sab kuchh Khuda ne banaya ... 


Lekin Khuda ne mazhab NAHI banayaa !

 

Mazhab insaan ne banayaa 


In fact , mazhab mard ne banayaa 


Aur very conveniently saarey dos and don'ts apney favour meiN rakh liye !


Namaaz din meiN paaNch martaba padhna farz kari hai 

Lekin sach bolney ki bass preaching-hi-preaching hai

Sach bolney ko mazhab meiN farz ka darja nahi diya gayaa ... 


Ek mahiiney ke rozey rakhna farz hai

Lekin kisi ki dil-azaari karney ko sirf manaa karaa hai 

Dil rakhna , care karna farz meiN shumaar nahi hota hai ...


Ancestral property meiN female heirs ka hissa jaan-na hai to Sureh (chapter) “Nisa” padhiye ... 

KyoN bhai  ???

Khud ke aNdar itni strength of character nahi hai ke sabhi legal heirs ko property meiN equal share diya jaaye ?


Aurat ke rights jaan-ney ke liye Sureh “Nisa” ki zaroorat hi kyoN padey , agar insaan ki niyat saaf ho , aur mard aur aurat ke huqooq (rights) baraabar (equal) hoN ? 


Mazhab meiN Hajj aur Zakaat to farz haiN lekin imaandaari ko sirf ek guiding instruction batayaa hai , uss ko farz nahi karaa hai 


Sharaab haraam hai lekin war haraam nahi hai

In fact war is even permitted !!!

HaaN naa ... ! 

War is allowed for "righteous" causes , like "ushering in peace" or "protecting" religion 


But of course ... conditions apply so as to make a crime like war be regarded as "sacred" and can be justified ... !!!

So ... Don’t kill women , don’t kill children , don’t destroy crops , don’t kill priests , don't kill the aged or the sick ... Lekin generally killing men is okay ... !!!


We , Muslims believe that Qur’an was sent by God more than 1400 years back 


Imagine the condition of women back then ... 


And so came the clause of four marriages ... !

Four marriages were allowed to men under the pretext of extending legitimate protection to women who had lost their male protectors in wars 

 

Wowwwwww ... !


"Neki" ki iss "aziim" inteha par koi fida ho hi naa jaaye ... !!!


Srsly ! 

Ramzaan ke ba-barkat mahiiney meiN aisey sarkash khayalaat ke liye koi jagah honi to nahi chaahiye ... 


Lekin social media aisi jagah hai jahaaN arkash-sarkash-zarkash sab apni-apni kahaani kehtey rehtey haiN ... 


Koi suney ya naa suney ... Apna dil halka ... Aur status bhaari ho jaati hai πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ½ !


So ... Gustaakhi maaf ... May God Almighty be merciful and forgiving towards all His creations ... and may we stay on the righteous path and understand the difference between righteous and religious

Jai Shree Raam πŸ™πŸΌ




Three-four days back ... der shaam ko mere darwaaze par kisi ne ghaNti bajaayi 


The time was such that I was not expecting anyone except my elderly neighbour ... Shaaed πŸ€”

She suffers from an acute knee problem so whenever I think it is her at the door , I go as fast as I can to let her in ... 


And btw , ghaNti bajaaney ka andaaz meri neighbour se kaafi milta-julta sa tha 


She is a very sweet lady , and a great cook too ... So wo jab kabhi kuchh special banaati haiN to hum ko bhi zaroor khilaati haiN ... 


Waise bhi der shaam ko ya to wo didi ya phir family ke alawa mere ghar koi nahi ataa 


So I opened the door expecting the pados waali Didi , but instead I was greeted with an enthusiastic  "Jai Shree Raam" by a couple of men whose presence seemed so dense that inspite of being just two or three of them , they seemed to be all over the place !!!


Zaraa si der ke liye to maiN samajh hi nahi paayi ke kaun aaye haiN 


Phir lagaa ke shaaed koi donation leney aaye hoNgey 


Meanwhile one of the men said "Raam Mandir ka udghatan hai ..." 

Preoccupied with my thoughts , trying to figure out their identity my spontaneous response was ... "ΰ€€ो ... ???" 


He said "To kuchh nahi , ab sab log desh meiN prem se raheiNgey" 


He handed me an envelope 

And I said "Ji" 


Ummid par duniya qaaem hai ... Unn mahashay ne sach hi kahaa hoga ... ke ab sab log prem se reh sakeiNgey ... 


So hum ne bhi agreement zaahir kartey huay "Ji" keh diya hai


Ab aagey Shree Raam ki marzi  


Jai Shree Raam πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸΌπŸ’–πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’
