Rang-o-Noor (BY SA'DI)

SUNNAH, MEDIA AND BEGGER'S BOWL

May Allah bless and help me and grant me with the power and capacity to write that which is according to His "will" and grant us all with benefits from those things! Today, a number of points have got accumulated. Let us talk of them in brief one by one:

Perform a Dear Sunnah

Last year, the project of construction of twenty-four Masaajid depending upon Allah was started. Allah's slaves contributed generously and the devotees worked hard but the project did not complete because the funds ended. Hence, construction of Masaajid was left incomplete. This project could be completed by drawing money from other accounts but the intention was to spend the money only that is fixed for the construction of Masaajid. Hence, the work was stopped. Meditation over this matter whether to collect funds and start this work again or to leave it as such was going on. If the work of Rs. 200,000/- was pending in one Masjid, that of Rs.10,000/- was of another one. The construction of all these Masaajid required approx Rs. 6000,000/- We were praying to Allah Almighty, "O Allah, Masjid is Your House. Help us in populating it." Meditation was going on about the campaign that Allah's wonderful assistance began to shower like the showers of rain. A sincere and lucky slave of Allah himself contacted us and expressed his wish to offer a lot of sum for the construction of Masaajid. Allah-o-Akbar! That gentleman did not even know that the construction of Masaajid was undone nor had we specially persuaded him to it. Only Allah attended to him with love and kindness and accepted a large part of his wealth for His good pleasure. He announced to offer so much money with which all these Masaajid as well as the Masjid of Madrissa Awais Qarni could be constructed if Allah wills to a great extent. The construction of Masaajid Department of "Ar-Rahmat Trust" held detailed meetings at once, appointed supervisors for all Masaajid, framed two committees and now, the construction of most of the Masaajid has started. All these Massajid will be completed by Allah's grace and mercy in three months. Now, when I am writing this column, two committees of the Organization have set out to work very diligently, honestly and assiduously for the construction of Masaajid. Allah blesses many people with wealth but accepts it for Himself from a very few people. The secret of success of Sahaabah was that Allah had told them, "I have given you the life so that you may sacrifice it for Me to win My good pleasure. I have given you wealth so that you may spend it for Me." Those from among Ummah grasped this point, stood successful. Those who could not grasp this point, were indulged in the disgrace and trouble of both life and wealth. There is plot after plot, shop after shop, house after house and accumulation of wealth all the time. These people get exhausted in accumulating wealth, counting it and then die leaving all behind. The Sahaabah spent their wealth for Allah. Allah blessed them with hundreds of times more than that wealth in the world even and decorated the castles of Paradise for them in the Hereafter. You should study only the incidents of the Sahaabah's spending wealth in Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Yousaf Kaandhalvi's book "Hayaat-us-Sahaabah." By the Lord of Ka'ba, the heart is brightened. All the ladies and gentleman among them used to excel one another in generosity. The state of sincerity was that they had nothing in view than Allah's good pleasure and reward in the Hereafter. Moreover, when they would spend money, Allah would send down verses in honour for them and in this way, the holy face of the Holy Prophet was brightened at once. Then he used to pray for them abundantly. Allah-o-Akbar! Congratulations to our brother who spent money in the construction of Masaajid. He has also reaped the blessings of the verses of the Holy Quran and supplications of the Holy Prophet . We have also supplicated for his acceptance and blessings and have very humbly requested Allah to bless him with its best reward in both the Worlds. Dear brother! Congratulations to you on purchasing so many houses in the Paradise. The Holy Prophet used to supplicate abundantly for those who used to spend money to win Allah's good pleasure. He would express delight at this accepted spending. The readers of Al-Qalam, all the ladies and gentlemen, should today revive the Holy Prophets Sunnah and pray for mercy, forgiveness, acceptance and blessings of that Muslim brother who expended money to populate Masaajid at this time. May Allah bless all those who pray for him with good reward! Aamin!

The Video Proved Forged

A short while ago, there was clamour of a video at all the communication media of the world in which a few bearded people were shown whipping a girl for committing adultery. The BBC and The CNN all mourned and clamoured well. The westernized intelligentsia were barking at every TV Channel. The unveiled women had rent the sky. People gathered in Karachi and a rally was taken out in which an English saint spoke weepingly and made people weep at gun point. It seemed, it was the only important issue in the world. Even the courts also began to take action. Now, the Rawalpindi police have arrested the hero of that video. The said person was the representative of a western NGO. They have arrested that woman also who accepted two hundred thousand and got herself whipped at her back. You would have read the details in the papers. I want to ask, "Will you still trust in the media?" A Few days ago, an Indian TV Channel telecast a research report which tells through maps that the Jaish-e-Muhammad has opened training centre in Bahawalpur near Karachi. This report and its video are with me. Is Bahawalpur really near Karachi? Whenever we happen to go to Bahawalpur from Karachi, the back begins to ache. Be sure, if there had not been obligatory prayers, the back would have stiffened due to that journey. Prayer is a wonderful gift. We stop at the way, observe ablution, establish prayer and we are refreshed but the International media tells us that Bahawalpur is near Karachi. Will you still get disappointed trusting in the media? The media tells us that the common operation of America and her allies is going very successful. It has broken the power of the Taalibaan and they are surrounded all around whereas all this is a lie. You can see many Mujaahideen moving about freely in Afghanistan and Pakistan who took part in the Hilmand operation. They have defeated the NATO forces; they will take rest and go back again. O the worldly people, Allah is very Great, very Great! Allah is One. Let us say, "Allah-o-Akbar!

The conquerors Came Back

There had been noise for many months that Pak-America negotiations are going to take place. As a result of it, Pakistan will gain so much that canals of milk will begin to flow. Perhaps the American reporter Mr. Hussain Haqaani would have told Pakistan that Obama and Halairy would now give them in abundance. In preparation for those negotiations, our ministers had been applying whitening creams for several months. The security forces were ordered neither to care for lives nor Belief in order to please America. The deceitful arrest of Hazrat Mullah Brother was also a part of this preparation. The Prime Minister called meetings and consulted what they were to demand of America and how to suppress her. The rates of the prostitutes who sell their bodies for many dollars to America also consulted from Egypt and Uzbakstan. Tears of sorrow were also shed at it why America wanted to buy our honour at so cheap rates. However, our delegation, equipped with begger bowls, files and lists, went to America. For the first three days, someone said to America, "We need 35 million dollars." The other demanded Drone technology. The third ordered to install atomic plant for them. The fourth demanded arrears of the terrorism war. The fifth ordered to reconstruct the annihilated province. The sixth demanded money to spread education because terrorism is increasing due to ignorance. The seventh said, "Enrich us because Mujaaahideen are created due to poverty." The eighth said," There is drought in the country. Give us money to construct dams." The ninth said, "People become suicidals due to illness. Give us funds for the hospitals." The tenth demanded dollars to spread enlightenment etc. When the twenty-five fleshy ministers fired with the words "Give us money and dollars," the American officials hid themselves in their offices. That was perhaps tougher time for America than Veitnaam and Iraq. Wherever the Pakistani ministers would see any American, they would say," Give us money. Give us money. Give use dollars." The Americans would take to their heels. On the other hand, the Pakistani journalists raised voices that America had yielded to them and within a few days, there will be a flood of dollars in Pakistan but after the retreat of a few days, the Americans composed themselves. They invited the old ambassadors and asked, "What is the answer to this Pakistani attack?" The old people said, "It is quite easy. Give someone's son Green card of America, some other a bottle of wine and dancing party." The suggestions was acted upon and the situation changed. Till the latest news, our rulers had come back with empty bowls. Not to speak of 35 million, they could not even acquire 35 lac. Those who had gone with drums full of the Muslims' blood ,came back with a few foreign bottles of wine. O Allah, be kind to us and grant our rulers with guidance!
