Zeitgeist!!!

Recently a mail came on the official FAST forum – sahics_all. It had the link of a ‘wonderful’, ‘awesome’ and ‘kewl’ documentary exposing THE TRUTH!!! The sender was courteous enough to point out that anyone who is ‘touchy’ about ‘religion’ should skip the first 30 minutes…and since the forum has almost just Muslims so in other words it was being said that ‘those Muslims who are not sensitive to their basic beliefs, should watch it!

I just want to point out what does the documentary try to prove in first 40 mins…

The documentary had a really good start…making fun of GOD and talking sarcastically about jannat n jahanum!!! 

Then starts the discussion about Christianity – Jesus Christ and the makers of the documentary bring in astrology and  *authentic* historical evidences (much authentic then the creator of this universe!!) to exploit the *Romanized* Christianity (which just started around 150 years after Hazrat Isa (AS) ) and in the end prove that in short, Christianity – Hazrat Isa (AS) – Hazrat Musa (AS) and above all (naouzbillah) GOD… are just a MYTH! No doubt the Romanized Christianity led by the Vatican has greatly re-written/abused the original teachings of Hazrat Isa (AS) for their desires BUT the end result that this documentary brings is outrageous!!

For GOD’s sake this is NOT kewl! This is not about HADITH (authentic or not…worthy or not!) this is about the BASIC BELIEFS of ISLAM; QURAN and ALLAH!!!

The documentary clearly ‘proves’ that GOD is just a creation used by the religious & powerful elite to exploit the weak…Isn’t this atheism and aint WE Muslims being too chill about it?

Hazrat Mosa (AS) is just a myth…I dont want to copy paste the references, just open the Quran and in 29 chapters out of 30 you will find Hazrat Mosa (AS)…At around 130 places Allah have told mythical stories???

Hazrat Isa (AS) is just a myth…well I am speechless!

Though the documentary has already PROVED GOD to be a myth but as all Muslims know that BELIEVING ALL PROPHETS is a basic tenet of Islam…

Just one question : lets for a second suppose to someone it still seems quite logical…Is Allah and Nabi(SAW) more trustworthy or the makers of Zeitgeist?? As a Muslim whom should we believe?

I as a Muslim believe that everything in the world is NOT A REALITY which goes against Allah’s and Nabi(SAW) teaching!

Exposing and disproving 9/11 or anything in the world is nothing as compared to the above b*** s*** (using the words of Zeitgeist)

I am sorry but believe you me NEITHER ITS TRUTH NOR KEWL!!!

Just as the documentary explains in its 3rd part as how the media manipulate our thinking and the amount of control they have on our every day life…haven’t the makers of this documentary tried (and maybe very successfully!) to do the same thing???

Please try to understand what is being intoxicated in our minds…

 

Another delay…

When I wrote the last post I very seriously decided to update my blog on weekly basis but fate had something different in store for me…anyways lots n lots of things happened since the last post and above all ‘back’ is back! yea my back problem has started again and quite severely too!! Oxone injection did made things somewhat better, but only for few weeks. To make things worse we have a big deadline in office too and once again lateeee sittings have started (though it never really went anywhere) :S Went to the doc, had a MRI and things dint really change…doc has advised another injection (saying that since it was ozone gas so concentration is just an idea, it can be less sometimes as well) and I might be having it next month since I want to try everything before the dreadful surgery! Parallel to it I have started yoga therapy too recommended by *guess who* . According to the claims it has excellent results in few months for the complete body and what not…the main things is this too is damn *axe-pensive*…just imagine giving 25k/month for just 45 minutes/day!!!

Demise of a great spiritual elder on Feb 5th really made everyone who were linked to him, sad! I really dont have words to praise him but Syed Nafeesul Hussaini Shah Sb (RA) was undoubtedly one of the biggest buzurgs of present times. He was the last Khalifa (an authority given by a buzurg to his student to spirituall train otherS) of Hazrat Shah Abdul Qadir Raipuri(RA) (for those who dont know Ameer of Raiwand Haji Abdul Wahab sb was also his mureed(student) ). He spiritually  trained hundreds of thousands student and enlightened their hearts with the love of Allah and Nabi(SAW). His another very important contribution has been to fight the menace of Qadianism and protect the honor of our Nabi(SAW) – Khatm-e-nubuwwat. He was the vice-president of the Aalimi-Majlis-e-Tahafuz-e-Khatm-Nubuwwat and under the leadership of my sheikh (Hazrat Khawaja Khan Muhammad sb whose the president of Majlis) spent all his abilities for the protection of Khatam-e-Nubuwwat. He was also one of the biggest

On a serious note…our country has been having a tough time too…*general* elections, series of suicide bombs and threats of becoming next iraq/aghanistan…how effective has been our ’sab se pehley pakistan’ and what results we had to bear due to it?…I have been planning to write something on it and Inshallah my next post will be on these serious topics…

Another very serious development recently has been that one of my –>friends<– is *yet* again on the search of a bride …ever heard of *almost there but not there*??? I dont remember exactly how many times this *yet* again has come but on the behalf of all his friends and *to be brides* I fully sympathize with him…..

 P.S This post was written few weeks back but dint have time to publish it

 

Back…

I’m back! Yea I know it has been quite sometime…but frankly speaking I got too busy (call it self-made-hectic-routine) to write anything…office work became too hectic and had to work late nights even till early in the morning!, tried to do some freelancing as well but I guess thats too much to handle with a full time job and a full time wife and in the end my back pain got too bad (for those who dont know what I am talking about, well its their fault!) and 3 doctors recommended me surgery…kept on doing Istikhara and in in the end I came to know about an ozone oxygen injection (ozonucleolysis…nice word haina? for more info go n search google) thru none other than Maulana Tariq Jamil …its being done only at one place in Pakistan i.e. National Hospital and its damn expensive (read it AXE-PENSIVE) it was supposed to be around 100k (wow!) but since I came thru a close ref of the doc (guess who??:P) it ended up at 26k (my precious savings )…the room-cum-operation-theatre where I had this injection (yea yea in the back) was really impressive…a wonderful machine which was giving live broadcast of my backbone to the doc n my family sitting outside enjoying it free of cost! I asked the doc before the injection how painful its going to be (I was not afraid but you see wanted to be mentally prepared ‘for the worst’) and doc was like, ‘ohh dun worry…)and when the gas was injected in my back believe you me it was…PAINFUL!!!doc kept on shouting ‘relax…body ko dheela choor do’ and I was like ‘@#$@%^&^%*&*@#$’ …

 

MEN!!

Well here I’m back(where the hell did went at first place?). u must be thinking Now what? Well that’s a good question. Actually when I wrote an article about ‘women’ I never thought that I would draw such a huge criticism on what I wrote. Almost everyone said that it was simply rubbish, I was way too one-sided and biased, because one of the good qualities of a good writer is that he should be neutral writing about both sides of the picture. Can u imagine even some ‘women’ association staged a protest in front of my house and demanded that I should immediately show the other side of the picture as well because I have hurt a lot of people’s feelings. Even in my own house my sister was about to break my head. OK I accept my fault I shouldn’t have been that biased and by having a big heart(well not the real one) I should have written the other side as well. I stand guilty and as now to make up for what I did I have decided to write about the other side of the picture(hey I’m not talking about description of some picture, it has just one side). Although before taking this decision when my friends came to know about it they told me in a straightway, “Salman, u r not going to do this!!!”. But my conscience was forcing me to go ahead so at last I decided to take off this burden of guilt from my conscience and I have tried to show whole of the other side but still if I’m not able to fully justify what I m writing I ask forgiveness from all of u. OK so lets start………..

 

‘Great People…’

‘Man I am really impressed by him, he’s so intelligent infact a great intellectual…’ ‘Wow, he’s filthy rich, i really envy him…’.. these days people are usually judged by their brains or wealth not by hearts! Last night i was thinking that the best among the peoples were Prophets and after them, Sahabis of our beloved Prophet Muhammad(SAW). What made them the best? No doubt, Allah ’selected’ them out of all humans, this being enough to make some ‘the best’ but still what were the common characteristics in them?? Were they really brainy? intellectual? filthy rich?? or did they had strong logical and analytical skills which outshined others?? I personally believe (and i can be wrong as well) that they were normal human beings (mostly not very sharp or brainy), but yea they were different as well…simplicity, humbleness, forgiveness, self-lessness, loving, soft-heartedness, (only) GOD’s fear, strong character, inner purity are the few characteristics which were common in all of them as well as differentiated them from everyone else. These are the things which put them in the hearts of people, making a permenant mark in their lives. Words, no matter how much one like them momentarliy are usually forgotten as they rely on a person’s memory but actions get engraved in you forever! One might not remember most of the conversations with best friend but will definitely remember those silent moments spent together during sad days or a loving gesture.

 

Women ;)

I don’t know what’s the problem but whenever I sit to write something I just don’t have anything to write, my mind goes empty, I start thinking about all the stupid things in the world and this time when I got tired of thinking I just simply picked up the phone and dialled my best friend, not bothering that it was 1 A.M. (although I had great scolding from his parents, but they just can’t understand that if I they don’t let me talk to him, this world will be missing out one of the finest articles in the history of literature). And when at last I managed to talk to him I just instantly give him the job of thinking about a topic for me to write, which he after advising me, “Salman, history will remain indebted to u if u stop writing”, gave me the biggest shock of my life when he told me to write on “Women”. The phone nearly dropped out of my hand, my ears couldn’t believe what he said, “WOMEN”(read it aloud). I mean for God sake I can write about the extinction of dinosaur from earth ,about ancient civilisation of mohenjodaro, I can write about the all the processes that takes place in an Atomic bomb, I can write on what made Hitler do what he did, about the digestive system of an ant, but ‘Women’!! I mean how in the world can I write about this creature( which has few characteristics of a human being) when 15 billion years have passed since this universe was created and intellectuals and scientists like Aristotle, Pluto, Socrates, Newton, Shakespeare, Einstein, our very own genius Bill Gates and the list goes on and on, passed away(hey Bill Gates is still alive don’t worry) but couldn’t explain about this creature. But still I found this topic very interesting and thought to write on it with all my capability. So read on

 

Life…

Life is a hard and tough journey on a long road. It just seems to continue and continue but one day we realise that it has passed too quickly without making us realise. Life offers lot of choices but not many chances. Its just like as if u r going on a road and suddenly u find many roads coming out of that road and u have to choose one, among all of those, and many times if we don’t know where to go we choose a wrong choice and regret latter on. Life’s also like this if we don’t know how to pass it we’ll end up taking a wrong decision and regretting afterwards.

As the famous proverb says, “time and tide waits for none” same is the case with life it never waits for anyone. We have to go with it otherwise we will left way back in the darkness with no light around, not knowing where to go from here now? What to do?

Many of us think that its not in our hand to pass our life as we want, it depends much on our luck, circumstances we have to live by, people we live with. They believe that we have to live by what our fate offers by. If its like this then I can’t understand the purpose of life if everything happens by itself than what are we here to do? LUCK our favourite shelter behind which we hide whenever anything goes wrong. But what luck actually is? Does it favour someone and not others? Was every successful person lucky? After thinking about all these questions and trying to find out an answer for them I came to the conclusion that there is some luck but its just the starting point, those who have, are a little ahead us but after start there is no luck. If someone is born intelligent he’s lucky than others but if he doesn’t works hard his intelligence will be of no use. It just takes one failure and we lose all our hope because luck isn’t favouring us without realising that failures come to teach us not to block our growth. They provide us learning opportunities. As someone rightly said that ‘we cannot change winds but we can always adjust our sails’. For me and thousand others failures are blessings, if we take them in spirit. We can always learn from our failures. If its still hard to believe than read brief life stories of few  successful people and these are facts:

 

HOPE…

The little child had remained awake all night to see the dawn – the first dawn of the New Year. At last the time came for which he had been anxiously waiting for.  His eyes filled with wondrous excitement as he saw the sun rising up from behind the mountains. As the first golden rays touched his face, his eyes lit up with joy – a joy so profound that he himself could not understand its intensity. But as he closed his eyes in prayer, slowly he realized the significance of the whole event.  For him, it was not just daybreak – not merely a natural phenomenon but the symbol of a new start, a new beginning. He turned his face towards the light and all shadows were in darkness. The dawn appeared to him as a gleam of hope – a hope for a better world. And as his weary brain conjured up delightful visions of the future, his tired eyes closed.

He hoped for a world in which he would be free; free to do anything. He hoped for a world, in which he would have the basic facilities that every human being deserves from cradle to grave. He hoped for a world free from child labor. He hoped for a world where he would be sent to school rather than to a factory where he was made to work 12 hours a day. He hoped that his father would earn for him, instead of spending and losing his hard earned money in gambling.

 

WHY???

Tears come down from my eyes

Suddenly my eyes have learnt to cry

I haven’t cried for long

As if I had forgotten ‘how to cry?’

Life was just like clear clouds on the sky

Passing by swiftly not bothering to stop

But then why after such a long time am I crying?

Why????

Is it because I just want to cry or

Or there’s some other reason

But then I never did anything without any reason

Then how can I cry without any reason?

There must be some reason

But if there’s some, what difference does it make?

Will I, then cry no more?

Is it because I’m sad?

But then y am I sad?

I haven’t been sad for long

Then why today?

There must be some reason

Is it because someone hurt me?

But then everyone hurts me

So why shall I cry?

Or is it because……..

Time comes when u r down

when life isn’t going the way u want

everything seems dull and boring

life seems going from bad to worst

say a silent prayer

ask for God’s help

let Him handle everything for u

listen to your heart’s voice

u might not be able to hear it in the start

but have faith in Him

believe that only He can do it for u

make Him your best friend

and then you’ll start hearing His voice

thank Him for his help

open your eyes

you’ll feel free

free from any problems and worries

start your life anew

everything will seem fine

problems wont be problem anymore

but

in your happiness don’t forget HIM!!
