Worth Reading! What is Islam?

In last days of December, sitting comfortably in warmth of my room after a long hard official and social bonding during  cold weather of  such as instantly freezing almost burning commodities in blinks of eyes, I start wondering, what if each and every one of the creatures enjoys such finest peace of mind without any slightest of fears? Then certainly comes in mind the ongoing human being crises from poverty to corruption, material enrichment to instability, moral values to spiritual discomforts, terrorism to natural climates, these definitely are stress increasing and heartache. Some days I hear and also observe often; a person is robbed off, a child is kidnapped, a baby is buried alive, parents are killed by their own son, a person sleeps totally topless under the blue sky in such cold, a person is treated like chickens by some so called rich society and the list goes on and on.

It looks absolutely dirty, against human rights, moral, social and spiritual values. But believe me, we all are a part of this & contributing considerably to enhance its dirtiness; intended or unintended. And it all appears even more insane to me when I see Pakistanis and top of it Muslims are attached to both ends; giving and receiving. They are absolutely 100% involved in it and only they are at the receiving end. What hurts me the most is that ISLAM is at this particular era is being judged by the actions Muslims are associated with. Let me tell all Pakistanis and Muslim world through this platform that Islam is not this. Islam is like first rain drop in Millions and Millions of years. Islam is all about Superior Values of each kind. It is a system which separates human beings from being monsters. It is only Peace. As once Hazrat-e-Iqbal said, 

"
If we are resolved to describe Islam as a system of superior values, we are obliged, first of all, to acknowledge that we are not the true representatives of Islam"

I must share a very touching incident I come across to know what Islam really is;



Once returning home from University, i met a stranger in train. His name was ( I Don't actually remember his full name, but in my faded memory his name was) Bradli. He appeared to be non believer. I approached and greeted him, also shared my dinner box with him to extent he would have wanted. After dinner since the travel was of about 90 minutes, we started to have discussion on different heart touching incidents of past. When i asked him the finest moment of his life, he disclosed some facts to my amazement by taking me to his sweetest moment of life;

He told me that somewhere in a book of English writer he read an incident regarding Holly PROPHET (Peace Be Upon Him). That is (if i am not forgotten) as follows;

Once while walking by a group of children the Holly PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon HIM) was asked by one of the companions of HIS; “OO! Prophet of ALLAH (Peace Be Upon HIM), my son has been missing since morning and i have not found him yet." He even did not fully finish his plea, when he saw his son playing with group of children of his son's age. The father who was worried about his son in excitement embraced his son and started pampering him dearly. Seeing this HOLLY PROPHET (Peace Be Upon HIM) forbade the father to pamper his son and Ordered him to do so in his Home. The father astonishingly asked why is so? The Holly Prophet (Peace be Upon HIM) clarified the mind by saying that "There is a child in this group who is orphan. If you pamper your child in front of him, his heart may get filled with grief."

After sharing this I observed Bradli was half weeping and tears were about to flesh out from his eyes, he stated that the PERSON who rules over such huge masses of Human Kind thinks this mercifully. And after that we did not share a single word during our traveling together.

This is a slightest example of the LOVE with Mankind THE HOLLY PROPHET (Peace Be Upon HIM) possesses. He also teaches us to love every creature to the extent of extreme. This is ISLAM!!!!! These terror enforcing activities do not have any link with ISLAM. These so called Muslims who are behind this will be questioned by ordinary Muslims on the day of Judgment a question?

"Why they happened to be so selfish with their belief that they did not think about others peace." ISLAM is Peace, Peace and Only Peace!!!!

And by sharing this, I must say we are not even close to it. Sometimes I wonder if we are human beings  or  we have transformed to some kind of monsters which eat its own meat and drink its own blood. It gives me a pain which is unbearable, I have seen this much pain of human that there is a desire constantly developing in me to become blind. But what if, we all already are blind.
 
Even though each and every one of us wishes to have a real and consistent peace of mind, yet we are not willing to actually pin point where this uncertainty had started. For me, most naturally there are two things which contributed maximum;

1)     Lack of Knowledge without Prospect of Love

2)     Choosing humanity as secondary choice over Material and Individual Enrichment.
The quest to conquer all is always overwhelming for human being and I believe it is the way to live any life; distinguished and diligent. But love and security of every one else was the most first reason to acquire knowledge. Knowledge without love is actually a devil itself. I wish dearly to see human beings start living on Mars but I wish to see it with a comic book peace all over the universe.

Then I decided and lifted myself up by promising myself with a thing; "In life, no matter how bitter and harsh it comes to me, I shall never ever hurt physically and emotionally any creature especially human beings anymore. As we see, society does not have any physical existence like body. We are the society, we make it. If we, by individually refocusing us and promising us to contribute significantly in bringing peace and prosperity into our lives.

Love everyone, treasure each moment with peace and please be human at least.
This is my heart I am sending to all Pakistanis, because I love each and every soul. For me, life is like a single second short to love others, then why to waste it in hating others. Please!!!!!!!!!! Aaah!!!!!

Meethay Sharbat day Miseeha jab bhi
Zid hai, inkaar hai, kya hona hai!!!!!!
