آسان لفظوں میں :


 


شطرنج کی بساط میں ہر مہرے کے پاس انتخاب کے لئے دو ہی گنجائشیں ہوتی ہیں۔ 


سیاہ یا سفید۔ 


غلامی  فرض  اور  ہار جیت مقدر


رب کائنات کی دنیا شطرنج کی بساط نہیں۔ یہاں سیاہ اور سفید الگ نہیں ایک دوسرے میں پیوسط ہیں ۔


حسن عدل لازم  اصول ہے ۔


اطاعت طرز ہے۔


طریقت کے غلام انسانوں کی بادشاہی میں شطرنج کے مہرے بن جاتے ہیں۔ ہر قدم ایک چال اور ہر حرکت ایک وار۔ 


سیرت میں بالکل شروع ہی میں جس  جگہ نبی ٌ  کے چہرہ مبارک کا ذکر ملتا ہے۔ اُس کے بالکل قریب ہی اُن کی چال کا  ذکر بھی ملتاہے۔ اُن کے قدم ایسے مظبوطی سے اُٹھتے تھے جیسے  کسی بلندی سے اترتے انسان کو ڈھلان پر رکھنے پڑتے ہیں۔


اُنٌ کے جسم کا جھکاؤ آگے کی طرف ہوتا تھا۔ جس نے کبھی اسطرح چلنے کی کوشش کی ہوگی اُسے اندازہ ہوگا کہ اس حالت میںانسان کا جسم جلد تھکاوٹ کا شکار نہیں ہوپاتا۔ ایک شعوری عاجزی اپنی سی لگتی ہے اور راستے کی طوالت، اُس کے اتار چڑھاؤعام اور ناگزیر۔ نا جیتنے کی جلدی نا وار کی تیاری۔ 


صرف موجود کا گہرا ادراک اور بھلائی کی نیت۔ 




انسانی شعور کے یہ دو قدرتی آلات ہتھیاروں کی سہولت اور جنگ کی ضرورت، دونوں پر حاوی ہونے کی استطاعت رکھتے ہیں۔ 


مگر تکلیف دہ بات یہ ہے کہ وقتی راحت کا جنون بھی عادت میں بدل جاتا ہے اور طاقت کی افیون کے طلبگار بڑھ جاتے ہیں۔ 


معاشرے میں کسی بھی قسم کے عدل کا نفاذ صرف تب ہی ممکن ہوتا ہے جب رہنماء راستے کی طوالت اور پیچ و خم سے گھبراتےنہیں۔ انصاف کی چوٹ خود پر بھی آئے تو پیچھے نہیں ہٹتے اور جیتنے کی وقتی راحت کے جنون سے زیادہ عدل کے نفاذ میں کوشاںرہتے ہیں۔ ایسے لوگ آزاد ہوتے ہیں اور ایسے ہی لوگ اعتبار کے قابل ہوتے ہیں۔ 


اعتبار رب پر ایمان سے پھوٹتا ہے۔

 پہلے رب پر پھر خود پر۔

 رب پر اعتبار اطاعت پر آمادہ کرتا ہے اور خود پر اعتبار تبدیلی پر۔


چودہ اگست قریب ہے۔  غلامی سے آزادی کا راستہ  طویل نہیں۔ صرف اعتبار کی کمی ہے۔ 


صائمہ شیر فضل

ON RESPONSIBILITY!

The seemingly inconsequential fly buzzed around incessantly from one nose to another. Some were totally oblivious to its existence, Some bore its buzzing with a somewhat irritated expression while others shooed it away with a wave of their hand. Eventually,  it dived into a teacup. All hell broke loose. “Who let the fly in?”, “What a mess”, “Such a crappy building”, “Who left the window open?” “Who opened the window?”, “Why can’t you put a lid on your cup?”, “Why don’t we have fly screens for these doors and windows?”, “Why don’t we have a fly repellent?” A guy sitting on the far end folded his magazine and squatted the fly as soon as it landed on his desktop. That was ‘The End’ for the fly. (inspired from a real-life scene) We can roughly categorise the two kinds of behaviours/personalities described in the scenario above as ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’. Out of these two our people fall into the ‘reactive’ category. A nation of reactive individuals who are not willing to...

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...
