Life lessons:



The sun is bright and shining today. This is a truth. A pleasant breeze is blowing, that is another truth. The person walking in the sunshine feels hot. That is also the truth. The person standing in the shade enjoys the slight warmth of the sun as the breeze is affecting him more. Also truth.

Such is the reality of our incomplete truths. Such is the wisdom of our deficient perceptions. Such is the nature of our differences often.

Until the one standing in the shade walks in the sunlight and until the one in the light is provided with shade. Neither will comprehend the others reality.
Since this isn't always possible in normal life, human beings are granted the power of faith and belief. To believe in the possibility of a difference .
To believe in  the possibility of a parallel yet alternate reality.
The capacity and stamina to tolerate 'islah'.
The possibility that 'you' and 'i' might not agree on each other's version but maybe if we look at it together, maybe just maybe we can see the bigger picture.

آسان لفظوں میں:

ایک دن بچوں کو اسکول چھوڑتے وقت جب بیٹی نے خرچے کے پیسے مانگے  تو بٹوے میں ُکھلے نوٹ ختم تھے۔ میں نے جلدی میں  بیٹی کو سو کا نوٹ تھما دیا  کہ باقی واپس کردے گی۔  بیٹی نے اگلے دن پھر پیسے مانگے تو میں نے پچھلوں کا حساب مانگا۔ کہنے لگی وہ تو پتا نہیں کہاں گئے۔ میں نے پوچھا یہ کیا جواب ہوا۔ اگر آپ کو یہ ہی نہیں پتا کہ پچھلوں کا کیا ہوا تو آگے اور پیسے کیا سوچ کردوں۔ پھر اُس کو سمجھ آئی اور اُس نے پوری بات بتائی کہ میں نے پیسے ہاتھ میں پکڑے ہوئے تھے اور شائد وہ بے دھیانی میں میرے سے کہیں گر گئے۔ اب خیال سے اندر رکھ لوں گی ۔  اس ذمہداری کو سمجھنے پر میں نے اُس کو مزید خرچے کے پیسے تھما دیے۔  آج صبح صبح جب اخبار اُٹھایا تو معلوم ہوا کہ اب پاکستان جغرافی سیاست کی بجائے جغرافی معیشت پر دھیان دے گا۔ اور اس میں ہماری مدد ہمارا فولادی بھائی چین کرے گا۔ اُخوت اور بھائی چارے کا اظہار اپنی جگہ۔ تھوڑے بہت معاشی داؤ پیچ ہر وہ فرد اپنی جغرافیائی حدود میں استعمال کر ہی لیتا ہے جس کے پاس کوئی اختیار ہو۔ رشتہ اور اختیار جغرافیہ بھی بدل دیتا ہے۔ یہ انسانی نفسیات ہیں۔ انصار...

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...

On Cue:

On Cue:  Reality and illusion .............................................. When the Pharoah challenged Prophet Moses (AS) to a contest of power with his best magicians Allah actually revealed to humanity the reality of deception and the fallibility of human vision and perception.  He assured Moses (AS): (20:68) We said to him: "Have no fear; for it is you who will prevail. (20:69) And throw down what is in your right hand; it will swallow up all that they have wrought. They have wrought only a magician's stratagem.  A magician cannot come to any good, come whence he may. ” In the dicipline of psychology there is a phenemenon labelled as the “phi   phenomenon” or simply put a visual closure. It explains the natural response of human vision to a visual stimuli. The response lasts longer than the stimulus thus extending the actual experience. The co ordinated movment of lights on a dance floor or the continuous flicker of bulbs in a string of decoration lights of...
