Revisiting and Challenging; the concept of self respect and our false claim to entitlement:



The limitation and partiality of human kind is rationale enough to conclude that it is not the ability or belief of the ‘self’ which makes one successful but the lack of thereof and in its stead a strong belief in the ability, control and sovereignty of a God Almighty.

The consequent method then applied has in its basis a belief of the one and the whole and not of the partial or the limited.

If such is the basis of belief then the concept of self respect stemming from it will be based in a sense of duty and responsibility automatically making it easier for human beings to deal with limitations and hurdles. Giving birth to hope.

If the concept of self respect stems from a claim to be entitled or deserving then it can lead to nothing else but confusion, hurt and divisions.

Don’t believe in yourself, believe in God!

The restorer of all trusts , the source!

Self doubt is natural.

To be sure of ones self is un natural!

That’s something iblees did which resulted in his insistence on disobedience and he was thus cursed for eternity.

Let’s not insist on our right, let’s struggle to become eligible for that right lest we are replaced by someone more eligible.

Let’s make our peace with Allah’s will and our limitations.

Lets accept our dependence with humility on God!

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...

محرومی سے پیدا ہونے والے منفی رویے

محرومی سے پیدا ہونے والے منفی رویے: محرومی، انسانی زندگی کی ایک حقیقت ہے اور اس حقیقت کو جتنا جلد سمجھ لیا جائے اُتنا ہی جلد انسان ترقی کی منازل طے کرتا ہے۔ اس کو نا سمجھنے سے جو رویے انسانی شخصیت کا حصہ بنتے ہیں وہ بہت ہی زہریلے ہوتے ہیں جنھیں آج کل ٹوکسیسیٹی یا ٹوکسک بی ہیویرز کہا جاتا ہے۔ یہ زہر مقدار میں تھوڑا بھی ہو مگر وقت کے ساتھ ساتھ مہلک اور جان لیوا ہو جاتا ہے۔ اسی لئے بروقت سدباب اور چینلنگ (channeling ) بہت ضروری ہو جاتی ہے۔ محرومی کی وجوہ اور علامتوں پر ہم بعد میں غور کریں گے ۔ سب سے پہلے یہ جاننا ضروری ہے کہ محرومی انسان پر منفی اثر کب کرتی ہے۔ جی یہ ممکن ہے کہ محرومی انسان کی طاقت بن جائے مگر یہ بھی ممکن ہے کہ یہ اُس کی تباہی کا سبب بن جائے تو دراصل محرومی محض ایک حقیقت ہے جس سے پنپنے کے طریقے اس بات کا تعین کرتے ہیں کہ یہ مثبت ثابت ہوگی کے منفی۔ اگر انسان اس سچائی کا کلی ادراک کرلے کہ محرومی مخلوق کا مقدر ہے اور یہ کہ تمام قسم کی محرومیوں سے پاک صرف ربِ کائنات کی ذات ہے تو پھر رویوں کا رخ خود بخود درست نہج پر چل پڑتا ہے ۔ توحید پر ایمان اس بات کا متقاضی ہے کہ...

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...
