دین ابراھیمیہ
بظاہر "دین ابراہیمیہ" ایک مقدس نام ہے مگر اس دور میں اس کے پیچھے چھپی خفیہ گھناؤنی سازش نہ صرف امت مسلمہ بلکہ پوری انسانیت کے لیے بڑا خطرہ ہے، نیو ورلڈ آرڈر ایک پراجیکٹ ہے جو اب کسی سے ڈھکی چھپی بات نہیں مگر یہ پراجیکٹ کامیاب ہوتا دکھائی نہیں دیتا، جتنی صلاحتیں اور وسائل ہم دین کی تبلیغ پر خرچ کرتے ہیں اس سے کئی بڑھ کر دشمن طاقتیں اس کے خلاف کرتے ہیں بلکہ پوری قوت کے ساتھ ایک منظم منصوبے کے تحت اس پر کام کررہے ہیں، اس منصوبے کی واحد رکاوٹ امت مسلمہ، راکھ میں چھپی چنگاری کی مانند ہے جو ذرا سی ہوا سے بھڑک اٹھے۔
ہے اگر مجھ کو خطر کوئی تو اس امت سے ہے
جس کی خاکستر میں ہے اب تک شرارِ آرزو
ابلیس کے چیلے ہار ماننے
والوں میں سے نہیں، اس پراجیکٹ کو ایک نئے نام اور نئے انداز سے پیش کیا گیا جو اب
تک فقط ایک اتحاد کا نام ہے مگر مستقبل قریب میں یہ اپنی پوری طاقت کے
ساتھ ابھرے گا اور پوری دنیا پرچھا جائے گا، جس کے نعرے پر بہت سے کمزور ایمان والے
بھی لبیک کہیں گے، اور سادہ لو مسلمان اپنے علماء سے یہ پوچھتے نظر آئیں گے کہ "دین
کیا ہے؟"، افسوس آج بھی اس سوال کے
جواب سے ہم نا واقف ہیں۔
15 ستمبر 2020 کو سابق
امریکی صدر ڈانلڈ ٹرمپ کی سربراہی میں اسرائیل
اور مشرق وسطٰی کے چار عرب ممالک متحدہ عرب امارات، بحرین، سوڈان اور مراکش کے درمیان ایک معاہدہ ہوا ، اس معاہدے کو تحریری
شکل دی گئی اور اس کو "الديانة
الإبراهيمية" Abrahamic religions کا نام دیا گیا، جس کا مقصد دین
ابراہیم کے ماننے والوں کو یکجا کیا جائے جس میں یہود، نصارٰی اور مسلم ہیں، یہ
معاہدہ اس وقت فقط اسرائیل اور انہیں عرب کے چارممالک کے درمیان ہے مگر بہت جلد یہ
زہر تمام مسلم ممالک کی رگوں میں اترجائے گا۔
ہم اب تک اپنی بنیادی تعلیمات کی حقیقت میں الجھے ہوئے ہیں گویا
اس مدرسے کی پہلی جماعت بھی پاس نہ کرسکے، جب یہ طوفان اپنی پوری طاقت کے ساتھ آئے گا تو اس کا مقابلہ فقط ایک ہی ذریعہ سے ہوسکے
گا اور وہ ہے "علم"۔۔۔ جس سے ہم خالی ہیں۔
شاید وقت بہت کم ہے مگر ختم نہیں ہوا،
ضرورت ہے آگاہی کی اور لوگوں میں شعور بیدار کرنے کی۔
خدارا اس بات کو سمجھا جائے کہ ہمیں کچھ
نہیں کرنا فقط تمام تر تعصبات سے بالا تر
ہوکر اللہ کی رسی کو مضبوطی سے تھامنا ہوگا ۔

اس دنیا میں انسان امتحان کی غرض سے سکونت پذیر ہے خود چنیدہ امتحان میں کامیابی کا دارومدار صحیح راستے کا چناو ہے یہ چنوتی اتنی کثیر الجہات ہے کہ اگر گہرائی میں جاکر تجزیہ کیا جائے تو نجات صرف رب کی رحمت میں ہی نظر آتی ہے۔حقوق اللّہ کو ہم نے ثانوی درجہ دے رکھا ہے کہ اللّہ معاف کریگا ۔کیسے کریگا؟ اس پر غور کی کبھی نوبت ہی نہیں آئی۔رب ہونے کے ناطے جو نعمتیں اس نے ہمیں عطا کررکھی ہیں ان کا شمار کرنے بیٹھیں تو گنتی ختم ہوجائے اور حساب کرنے بیٹھیں تو ایک ایک نعمت کے شکر پر زندگی ختم ہوجائے ۔ایک چائے کی پیالی پلانے والے کا احسان تو چکانے والے زندگی بھر یاد رکھتے ہیں لیکن رب کائنات کا ممنون احسان تو ردکنار شعور بھی شاید نہیں ہے جو حقوق اللّہ کو نہ پہچاننے کی بنیادی وجہ ہے۔

Intolerance - eating away our sanity
Intolerance
The ailments which are eating away our society are innumerable but the one which has destroyed our social religious, cultural and moral fabric is intolerance.
Before going further let’s see what tolerance is? “The ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behavior that one dislikes or disagrees with. Our society – although a Muslim Society – can not be declared a tolerant society; neither religiously, nor socially, morally or politically. The incident of Sialkot can be quoted as an example of how intolerant we are.
Morally we think ourselves so upright that we never like to listen or heed to the opinion which we have set in our minds. Socially we are so right that if anyone happens to oppose our opinion or present before us the flip side of the coin, we become angry and start thinking him/her our worst enemy. Morals are what we understand not what are present before us by others.
Political polarization is deep rooted in our psyche; we like to defend our leader
whatsoever he does or says; we will definitely be there to support and defend the wrongs of our dear leaders and will be there to strike hard, hurl abuses and incriminate the ones who are not in our liking – list.

Hazrat Umar the Servant Leader
Hazrat Umar (May Allah be Pleased with him)
The idea of a Servant Leader
Servant leadership is a new theory introduced into the field of management by an American scholar Robert Greenleaf in the last quarter of the twentieth century. This theory describes a type of leadership which attracts the research of the scholars to present before the world a model to emulate by the present leaders to inspire awe and respect among the followers. The turn of the century witnessed the leadership assessment model of Laub, and the servant leadership model which is based on the theory of Patterson (2003) but the popularity gained by Servant Leadership Assessment Instrument (SLAI) by Dennis and Bocarnea got an immense popularity. I have chosen Umar Ibn Al-Khatab and the touchstone method used to assess his personality will be the Peterson’s theory. That touchstone as presented in the Patterson’s theory will be: constructs of love, humility, altruism, vision, trust, service, and empowerment. This article will also present a brief over view of the present servant leadership in the modern world in comparison with the leadership which the great Umar (R.A) presented the world to emulate 1400 years before. His leadership was transformational and responsible, the concept which the modern world becomes familiar with in the twentieth century. The effective leadership depends upon the effective team, again this is a modern concept but had not only been introduced but practically adopted also 1400 years ago by the Muslims which was strengthened by the great Umar (R.A). The leader does not lead the way but prepares a team also, so did the great Umar (R.A). with a futuristic and transformational vision, the great Umar (R.A) introduced, effected and implemented those reforms which became a hall mark of 20th century welfare state and are now called by the modern states as Umar Laws. The Great Umar (R.A) was of martinet nature but when he became a leader of Muslim community, he truly transformed himself into a true servant roaming around at nights to serve the needy and sick, carrying provisions to them, his sincerity to Muslims and Islam made him a towering personality. People of every faith had a complete trust upon him and accepted his judgment which speaks of the equality of all, without caste, color, creed, race and religion, interestingly it is a modern concept introduced by the great Umar (R.A). Dictatorship which we still witness in Arab and African countries in the 21st century even was given away in place of division of powers and empowerment of different departments and officers of the state so much so that the Qazi could announce judgment against him. He believed in the strict accountability, a concept unheard of before the 20th century, 1400 years ago he stripped the governor off his office on public complaint. the true welfare state concept is still a far cry in the 21st century which the great Umar (R.A) presented and applied in its letter and spirit and gave an example to the coming times to follow and emulate.
میڈیا کا کردار اور ہماری نفسیات
نوّے کی دہائی میں مارون گولڈ کا ایک اشتہارآیا کرتا تھا، مجھے یاد ہے کہ 1995 سے 1998 تک ہر عید کو وہ اشتہار PTV پر دکھایا جاتا تھا، مارون گولڈ ایک سگریٹ کا برانڈ تھا شاید اب بھی ہو، اس اشتہار میں کمپنی نے اپنی مصنوعات کی مشہوری کے بجائے پاکستان کے تمام صوبوں کی ثقافت کو ایک ساتھ دکھانے کی کوشش کی، جس کا عنوان بھی Rhythm of unity تھا۔ یقینًا اس کوشش میں تاثیر تھی، اس اشتہار میں ہر صوبے کے لوگ اپنے روائتی رقص کے ساتھ داخل ہوتے ہوئے ایک گھیرا بناتے اور اسے جاری رکھتے، اسی طرح دوسرے صوبے کے لوگ بھی اس میں شامل ہوتے چلے جاتے، ہر کوئی اپنی موسیقی اور اپنے روایتی کپڑوں میں ملبوث قطار بنائے اکھٹے ہوتے چلے جاتے، مگر اشتہار بنانے والے نے اس بات کا خاص خیال رکھا تھا جو اس کا کمال تھا، ہر صوبے کے کپڑوں کی بناوٹ اس کے روایت کے مطابق تھی مگر رنگ سب کا ایک تھا، گویا ہم کسی بھی صوبے سے تعلق رکھتے ہوں مگر"اس پرچم کے سائے تلے ہم ایک ہیں"، اس میں ایک منظر دوسرے منظر میں بہت تیزی سے منتقل ہوتا چلا جاتا تھا مگر اس میں محبت، اتفاق، اتحاد اور بھائی چارے کے عنصر کو بہت خوبصورتی سے دکھایا گیا تھا، جب وہ ایک دوسرے کے مقابل ہوتے دکھائی دیتے تو خوشی اور مسکراہٹ کو واضح رکھا گیا، ایک بھیڑ کے باوجود کوئی تصادم یا بدمزگی کا عنصر نہیں دکھایا گیا، گویا سب الگ ہونے کے باوجود ایک ہی ہیں۔
اس اشتہار کو میں جب
بھی ٹی وی پر دیکھتا تھا تو اندر ایک حب الوطنی اور خوشی کا جذبہ ابھرا کرتا
تھا، اس کے اثر سے دوسرے صوبے کے لوگوں سے ملنے کو دل چاہتا تھا اور جب کبھی
ملاقات ہوجاتی تو ان کی زبان میں انہیں سلام کرنے کی کوشش کرتا تھا، بلا وجہ ان سے
باتیں کرنے کو دل چاہتا تھا، جس سے ایک قربت کی فضاء بن جاتی تھی، پھر سوچا کہ
شاید یہ احساس فقط مجھ تک محدود ہے جب تک ایک دوست نے یہی بات نہ بتائی
مجھے، پھر معلوم ہوا کہ یہ اشتہار اور میڈیا پر دیگر مثبت پروگرامز کابراہ
راست اثر ہماری نفسیات پر ہورہا تھا جس کی وجہ سے ایک بھائی چارگی کی فضاء باقی
تھی، لوگ ایک دوسرے کے لیے احساس رکھتے تھے، غلطیوں کو معاف کیا کرتے تھے، ایک
دوسرے سے محبت کا جذبہ رکھتے تھے۔
مگر وقت کے ساتھ سب
کچھ بدل گیا اس اشتہار کے بعد مجھے کوئی پاکستان دوست، بھائی چارگی اور محبت
والے اشتہار نظر نہ آئے، اس وقت سمجھ بھی اتنی پختہ نہ تھی مگر آج ان کی کمی
شدت سے محسوس کرتا ہوں، آج ہمارے دلوں میں ایک دوسرے سے نفرت، چہروں پر غصہ ہے، ضد
اور حسد کی ایک وجہ اس میڈیا پر دکھائے جانے والے منفی کرداروں کے
اثرات ہیں۔ مذہب کے نام پر، سیاست کے نام پر، ذات برادری کے نام پر، صوبوں
اور شہروں کے نام پر ہم بٹھتے چلے گئے اور یہ میڈیا اسے ہوا دیتا رہا، کہتے
ہیں کہ مواصلات کی وجہ سے فاصلے کم ہوگئے مگر میرے لیے قریب دور ہوگیا ، اپنے
پرائے ہوگئے، محبت اور بھائی چارگی کی جگہ ضد ،حسد و تقابل، نے لے لی۔
شاید اب بھی کہیں ہم
میں ایک رہنے کی خواہش ہو، یقینًا ہوگی! اس ضد و حسد کے علاج کی خواہش ہو۔
میں یہ تو نہیں کہہ سکتا کہ آج سےسب کچھ دیکھنا چھوڑ دیں مگر اتنا
ضرورکہہ سکتا ہوں ، اپنے معمولات زندگی میں اس بات کو بھی جگہ دیں کہ روزانہ ایک
ایسی پوسٹ اپنے سوشل میڈیا پر ضرور لگائیں جس کے مثبت اثرات معاشرے پر ہوں۔

Be positive.
With positivity Nothing can get our way
Be positive
is a pragmatic approach towards the problems we face every day although the
word positive has become somewhat scary nowadays thanks to Covid-19. So, try to
be Covid Negative by keeping social distance, staying home and masking up but
be positive for the opportunities the pandemic presented all these days and is
presenting.
Covid- 19
has had a horrific and undeniable consequences on people’s lives. We observed
death, sickness and unemployment everywhere on our planet earth but every cloud
has a silver lining. Here are some of the positive effects we have observed
during the pandemic:
Environment
The first
positive effect of the pandemic is on the environment, lockdowns,
shutdowns, industry closure, restricted air and road movement gave the mother Earth
a chance to rejuvenate and heal from the hazardous effects of fossil fuels. The
ozone recovered itself and might be smiling on the new gain health. Marine life
which has suffered a lot from the cruelties of human, wildlife, and
biodiversity have been returning to normal during the period of pandemic.
End of
conflicts and beginning of Peaceful era
The pandemic
has taught the ever-fighting humanity the need of peace and a conflict free
world which can lead the human being to progress. UN secretary declared, “it is
time to put armed conflict to lockdown. Similarly, the civil wars abated in
many war-torn countries.
Social
connectedness while keeping social distance
Man is a
social animal, he needs socializing. So, in place of restaurants or clubs where
a person usually meets a stranger, he started meeting his neighbors or
relatives by calling on skype, WhatsApp or Messenger to those whom he has not
met for years. Social media platforms provided a unique opportunity to connect
and spread the word of love or care. The pandemic made him realize the need of
a family which he has forgotten.
Innovation
The pandemic
was a major market disruptor, as a result of the Covid-19 the businesses came
to a halt. So, we heard a invigorated term Takeaway becoming more than
popular. The digitalization of the business became necessary to survive in the
competition and every business came online, and some used this innovation to
reimagine their business model in this new normal.
Medical
science has taken a leap in this field by doing the work of ten years in just a
few months. The vaccines which were supposed to be rolled out in years were in
the market in just a matter of few months and now a large chunk of the world
has been vaccinated against the deadly virus. Earlier in 1918 Spanish Flue took
away almost fifty million people but now the toll is far less from this deadly
virus.
CSR:
Corporate social responsibility
It takes a
new turn by donating PPEs Masks, offering meals and free coffee by the hotels
and chains to the health workers who have become Veterans of New War or War
Heroes. The big business donated billions for the provision of vaccine research
and vaccine roll out free for general public, unfortunately in Pakistan no big
business came out to dole out so lavishly in empathy of the public whom they
had fleeced for generations.
Education
There is a massive transformation in education. True, most of
it was not by choice. With schools closing down all around the world, many
schools got digitalized and teachers offering online services to keep the
educational process going, offering online education, educational games and
tasks and self-led learning. Globally, Education experiences a large-scale
experiment, opening new avenues and home-schooling is now has become a new
normal which gave parents an opportunity to know better how their children fare
in studies and what their children know and do. Universities by using
state-of-the-art solutions kept the students engaged by giving them a near-life
experiences to gratify their curiosity, whetting their commitment and
engagement to prepare them for workplace. universities are using augmented and virtual reality to provide near real-life experiences for
electrifying students’ curiosity, engagement and
commitment and for preparing students for the workplace.
Gratitude
COVID-19 is giving us is a new sense of appreciation
and gratefulness. It has offered us a new perspective on everything we have
taken for granted for so long – our freedoms, leisure, connections, work,
family and friends. We have never questioned how life as we know it could be if
all these luxuries are suddenly taken away from us. Seeing the suffering and
death daily we came to appreciate the value of health; seeing the unemployed we
came to know the value of what we have in our pockets and kitchens.
All of these
positive aspects come at a great price of death, sickness and a depressed
global economy. As heartbreaking and frightening as this crisis is, its
positive outcomes can be gifts we should not overlook. If we ignore them, all
of this becomes meaningless.
The pandemic will
end soon and we will be free to walk as we used to be but if we lost the
lessons what we have learnt then it will be a great misfortune. The normal
approaching us should be a New Normal, not a normal we used to live heretofore.
We should cherish the lessons of empathy, social responsibility, greater
connectivity, helping the have-nots, going beyond the boundaries to help our
people, keeping the environment healthy and last but not the least keeping
humanity above all and taking everyone along on our way towards healthy,
prosperous, peaceful and loving a single unified world free of conflicts and
wars.

Truth Hurts
Truth Hurts.
The universe is made of opposites to help us distinguish one thing from other. we come to appreciate and distinguish one shade from other so that we can know the true nature of things. We know what disorder is when we have a complete awareness of what the order is? Similarly we will not be able to know what the truth is unless lie is clear to us.
The Holy Quran has clearly presented before us the truth, half truth, and lie. The Touchstone of Truth and Lie is the Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet peace be upon him.
Truth is difficult to speak and listen to, so, generally, we prefer to listen what is not true. Personally, professionally, traditionally, we like to exaggerate everything, exaggeration is where lie resides. Truth is crisp, short, concise, without coloring of any kind. Truth demands honesty, straightforwardness, bluntness, which nobody likes. The person who always speaks the truth will have a fewer liking than the person who is prone to speak lies – a favorable to the family, friends, and colleagues. Truth is a surgeon who has to perform a dissection without having a mercy for the patient because if he shows mercy, he cannot save life of the patient. On the other hand, lie is like a beauty parlor who has to present his skill while covering the flaws in the person and present before others what he or she is not.
“Truth may hurt for a little while
but lie hurts forever”. If you speak a truth, it will become a part of your
past but if you lie it becomes a part of your future.” So, the choice is your –
past or future. Live with a conscience prick while speaking lies or live like a
free bird who soars high because of the light weight it has had. Lie is a
weight which hinders your flight to the highest skies. Truth becomes a past
sooner or later but lie never leave you unattended, it keeps you haunted,
fearing its exposure one goes on creating new ones just to cover the earliest one.
Actually, we lie just to please
other, pleasing other is a never-ending gyre and then one fine morning you find
yourself in the quagmire of lies, and its tentacles have scratched all of your
body, spilling blood, and is eating you away like a zombie.
If a person goes on speaking the
truth, Allah writes his name in the truthful, and announces his name among the
angels then the angels announce his name as a truthful person in the heart of
the people so he becomes famous for his truth, people believe in whatever he
says or does but if a person becomes habitual of speaking lies, Allah writes
his name among the liars and announces his name among the angels as a liar who
then declare him as such. People start disbelieving whatever he says or does.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
O you
who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and be with the true ones.
(Surah Tawbah 9:119)
Truth
is a hallmark of great leaders and an attribute whose dividends one can never
fathom while lie is a liability which remains hanging over the head and becomes
a permanent burden on one’s conscience.
The
Messengers of Allah, great Leaders, who carved a permanent niche in the heart
and minds of the posterity followed the righteous path of truth and lead the
nation to their destinations.
We
should strive to speak truth but the truth which may put a match to hostilities
among people may be avoided. In such circumstances “silence is golden” is a
best rule to follow. Lie to curry favor or to make people laugh should always
be avoided. You cannot always make people happy or have their enduring favor
with your habit of lying as these are prone to be exposed and one loses respect
forever.
Practicing
truth will ultimately, although slowly gets you respect while lie will fetch
ephemeral respect and love which fades away as truth is bound to surface soon.
So set your eyes on a permanent and lasting goal of telling truth and respect
rather instant and fleeting praise earned by telling concocted and bizarre
truths.
