میں سے مجھ تک؛ سفرِ آگہی

میں سے مجھ تک؛  سفرِ آگہی!

میں کون ہوں؟

میں کیوں ہوں؟

میں  انکار کرتی ہوں!

میں  یقین  رکھتی ہوں!

میں  اقرار کرتی ہوں!

میں  یہ چاہتی ہوں!

میں یہ پاتی ہوں!

میں ہی کیوں آخر؟

میں ہی  کیوں سمجھوں؟

میں ہی  کیوں  بڑھوں؟!

میں ہی  کیوں کروں؟؟؟!

کیوں کروں؟

کروں؟!

میں!

ہاں میں!

میں۔۔۔ پر مجھے ۔۔

مجھے سمجھ آتی ہے۔

مجھے کچھ کرنا ہے !

مجھے ہی کرنا ہے،

مجھے ہی بڑھنا ہے !

مجھ  سے ہی چلنا ہے سب!

مجھ ہی میں طاقت ہے!

مجھ ہی میں ہمت ہے!

اسی لئے اب ‘میں’ سے نہیں ، ‘مجھ ‘سے بڑھے گا کام!

‘مجھ’ سے فرق پڑتا ہے!

ثمین صدف۔

THE MODERN SKEPTIC

-
What’s so wrong with the modern skeptic is his adherence to a unique flexible rigidity. Weird?!. Paradoxical?! Exactly! His inability to actually break the barriers of logic which provide him with a very sharp, intelligent and often correct ( yet incomplete) view of this world and life are also a major cause of his addictive yet comfortable seclusion. Breaking barriers means being ready to get uncomfortable. Getting ready to be vulnerable. It takes a lot of guts to be inclusive. Not easy to walk the talk. Skepticism should teach one to question ones own comfort and choices. Weighing ones own limitations constantly against a universal criterion. Breaking the barriers also means being ready to learn. Learn to see the truth. Learn to accept our own limitations and learn to accept that we could be actually wrong. It also sometimes means to defy the most logical obvious reality in order to defy ones own self and surrender. It is this sort of skepticism that actually led Ibrahim (AS)

Raising strong Muslims.

-
A mother's quest: These are trying times for the Muslim ummah. Raising Muslim children in this age of fitan is not an easy task, especially when the fitan is of bloodshed and confusion. Unfortunately, being a Muslim is not that simple anymore. War and economic deterioration has made it difficult to follow Islam even in Muslim countries while many different issues have made it difficult in the West. This makes a parent’s job harder than ever.  The relationship between child and parent, is such that the choices we make for our children can be decisive in building their character. Since these are times when the Muslim ummah is in need of strong and productive people more than ever, what better way to do that than to raise children with strong characters filled with iman, tolerance, integrity and patience? We need to remember that children are a trust as well as a trial from Allah (subhanahu wa ta’la) for their parents in particular and society at large. They are

I am pained :

-
. Is there a way to raise awareness about abuse and crime without actually causing its level to increase in the society? . Is there a method of education which can possibly address the cause and the effect simultaneously? . Why is it ok to witness rape and harrasment on big screens and not ok when it happens for real? . Why does it hurt when someone passes a sexually explicit comment on the road passing by but is quite acceptable when the hero on the big screen does the same to the heroine? . Why is it okay to play/ perform item songs depicting women and girls as objects of lustful desire on wedding ceremonies (one of the most beautiful bonds granting value to both men’s and women’s lives)? . Why is it logical to glorify and sensualise women in banner ads and billboards 24/7 and still expect people to lower their  gaze? . Why is it okay to raise hue and cry over rape every now and then without addressing the power hungry, pervert nurturing societal trends which raise rap
