Life itself is a Worship

I was surfing through some ghazals on a facebook group Bazm-e-Urdu Adab and this one came up to me which is written by 'Jiger Muraad Aabadi'.
It goes like;

Rind jo mujh ko smajhte hain unhen hosh nahi,
Maikadah Saaz hoon main, Maikadah Bardosh nahi,


Mehv-e-Tasbeeh tou sabhi hain magar Idraak kahan?
Zindagi khud hi Ibaadat hay magar hosh nahi,


Main teri mast nigaahi ka bharam rakh loonga,
Hosh aaya bhi tou keh doonga mujhay hosh nahi,


Uth kay pehlu say gaya hay koi jis dam say jiger,
Mujh ko yeh wahem hay jaisay meray aaghosh nahi..

The thing in this poem that caught my attention was;

"Mehv-e-Tasbeeh tou sabhi hain magar Idraak kahan?
Zindagi khud hi Ibaadat hay magar hosh nahi,"

The meaning that I extract from it is simply that whatever we should do in our life should be for the sake of ALLAH. Every other action should be to make him happy, but SAD that nowadays we rarely do this while it had to be this way. We are trying to make our dreams true and forgetting that the main purpose of life is to worship ALLAH and indeed making him happy is worshiping him.

    Beshak. Rightly said. We have forgotten our purpose and instead of pleasing Allah we are more inclined towards meeting our desires.

    Beshak.
    Actually the thing is, our hearts today are not pure, like it used to be back in the days. If we purify our hearts. Every part of our life will be in sync with ALLAH and our religion Islam

    I tried to understand the verses, but ... beyond me :(.. So I read your conclusion in the end...

    And its a beautiful meaning and message MA. Thanks very much for sharing.

    If we could only dedicate ALL our tasks for the sake of Allah - think how would we ever ... ever go and waste a good hour on 'A Minute to Win it' on AXN ?? !!! *scowls very deeply at herself*

    Thanks for the reminder :(

SALAHUDDIN AL-AYUBI (The Liberator Of Jerusalem) -I

by Dr. Mahmoud Esmail Sieny " The answer to an ill-deed is an ill-deed or the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth his reward is with Allaah. Surely, He does not love wrong doers." (Al Quran 42:40) History tells us that when Sultan Salahuddin regained Jerusalem from the invading and ruthless Crusaders, who had ninety years earlier massacred and savagely treated its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, he met a group of Latin Christian women who addressed him, "O Sultan! You see that we are leaving. Among us are mothers, wives, daughters or sisters to the soldiers in captivity with you. These men are our support in life, and if we lose them we will lose everything. But if you leave them for our sake, you will be giving us back our lives." At this our hero Salahuddin smiled and he gave orders that the sons and husbands of those women were to be set free. He went even further and gave money to the women whose supporters were killed in the battle. An irate Frenc

REASON OF EXISTENCE

It so happens that we enter a room for a purpose but the moment we enter, we forget why we came altogether. Then in this brief period our attention diverts to some other task and we get engross in it. And after considerable time we suddenly remember the real task and we have a chance to complete it. The world is like that room, we entered in it with a purpose but we got distracted. before our time comes, we must do something about it or else, we'll be in " khasara" greatest loss after which there is no going back. So what we need to do is be attentive all the time. Keep your purpose in your mind. I know that this is difficult. Allah said so himself that life of a momin is difficult. there's a hadis, I cant remember the exact words the excerpt is: "The path to heaven is filled with thorns and the way to hell is laden with flowers." And that: " The world for a believer is like a prison" So now we are clear about our life and our destiny. both are

Ideals

I recently had a chance to come to know one of the great writers of Pakistan, Ibne Safi. Ibne Safi He has an ability to engage his reader and take him to places in his mind and than when reader finishes the novel, he has the urge to create exact environment in real. His protagonist obeys, respect the law and makes those around him to do so too. I think about how many minds he revolutionized. How much he changed the society. I am sure he put large amount of effort in salvaging the society and help people to take it to this far. His writings are timeless. They can be used by every individual of any age. He rightly read his times and the way he changed the track of thought of especially young minds is marvellous. His writing proves that he was of the men who don't complaint about circumstances rather stand up and remove the filth silently and efficiently. Their efforts speak of their ache and love for their society, their people.  for more information on Ibne Safi, visit
