Rang-o-Noor (BY SA'DI)

THE RIVER

Numerous marks of Allah are present on the earth which keep exposing themselves on every new day but no one benefits from those marks. Namrood observed the miracles of Hazrat Ibrahim with his open eyes. Pharaoh observed the miracles of Hazrat Moses again and again but ill-luck prevailed. Only the wise benefit from the marks of Allah. Who are the wise? Being a ruler is not the proof of being wise. Many dunce and idiot become rulers. The wise are those who recognize Allah and their direction is the Hereafter, not the world. Parvez Musharrif assumed power but he was devoid of wisdom and perception. His eyes were upon the world only. O yes, the only world that was slipping from under his feet. The government was lost. Generalship did not side with him. Uniform went to other people. What did he lose and what did he gain? Such grave is certain after a few days from where there is no return. Then what will help… friendship of Bush and Colon Powel or dancing sittings? Parvaiz Musharif ignited a fire in this country. The present rulers are inflaming it even more. There were "Oppressive Explosions" at the shrine of Hazrat Hajveri in Lahore. The fact is that the heart was greatly injured. We don't know who took this bloody step for what purpose? It so not easy to bear the punishment of the bloodshed of forty-five individuals. We shall be accountable to Allah for one drop of blood. What connection did those people who have been killed have with this war? The invaders earned the sin they could but Parvez is fully involved in it. This is the fire ignited by him whose flame burn ever new people. He nullified many organizations in Pakistan at the orders of America, Britian and India. Why? What harm had those organizations caused to Pakistan? But that gentleman would decide being intoxicated in power, slavery and wine. The Secret Agencies and the police came to the field at his command. The doors of the houses were broken; sanctity of the mosques was spoilt and raids were made on the religious institutions. There was then no disturbance in Waziristan or Swat but oppression kept increasing. When big rivers were cut, independent streams began to flow. When the leadership of the organizations was broken, the organized groups kept dividing into aggressive troops. All the people know this. Even the close generals of Parvez Musharif say that the decision of Parvez Musharrif was wrong. We tried to tell people and then Parvez Musharrif went away. The politicians began to rule over the country. They stopped many campaigns of Parvez Musharrif but the fire ignited by him is till burning. The present rulers are defending that fire fully. Now, there is again the decision of crack down against the nullified organizations. Now, the doors will be broken down again. There will be arrests, raids and persecutions. What result? O yes, the same as before. Incidents of violence will increase in the country. Those who will not be allowed to live, will themselves come out in search for death. They will be mishandled by those who name Jihaad but do not know its sanctity and origin. Allah be thanked, we have no fear save Allah. We see great marks of Allah on the earth. These marks give the news of good circumstances. What was the condition in Turkey till yesterday? These days, the slogans of Jihaad resound there. According to the latest news, Turkey has threatened to break away with Israel. No doubt, the labour of those who work under the limits of Sharia does not go waste. The situation in Pakistan will certainly change if Allah wills. Islam and Jihaad will not remain a crime here. The politicians would have sorted out and analyzed the organizations nullified by Parvez Musharrif, negotiated with them and recognized their existence but they took up the path of oppression. It is evident, oppression will strengthen by watering it. Arrests of those oppressed who are kept in "Fore-schedule" in the Punjab have started. Have these people attacked Data Darbar? If not, what is the legal and moral justification of arresting them? O rulers! Fear Allah and do not oppress the saints of Allah. How many days of your government and lives are left with you? Do some such deed as may be useful in the eternal life in the Hereafter.

The comrades who work according to Sharia should not be perturbed. Allah be thanked, your hands are pure of the blood of the Muslims. Now you have resolved to offer every sacrifice for the sake of Islam. You have sold your lives and property for the Paradise. Arrest in the way of Allah is not punishment rather a blessing some times. Do kiss the Chain when someone handcuffs you. Illuminate the jail with Din, prayer and Jihaad if someone pushes you into jail. You will have read the incidents of Hazrat Abdullah bin Mubaarik who was the dear leader of the Muslims. It was his routine to continue the duty of education, training, worship and reformation even on the war fronts. Obligation is obligation. A Muslim cannot be negligent of it. May Allah protect us all! In this age you people are following in the sacred footsteps of Hazrat Abdullah bin Mubaarik, Noor-ud-Din Zangi, Salaah-ud-Din Ayubi, Hazrat Ba Yazid Yaldram, Hazrat Syed Ahmad Shaheed and Hazrat Shah Ismael Shaheed. You are the people whom Allah has blessed with the dust of lawful Jihaad in this world. You are the comrades of Brohi, Paamilah, Ghaazi Baba, Arslan, Bahoo, Afaaq and kaashif. You are the friends of Adnaan, Akhtar, and Kamraan. You are the companions of the brave fighter like Imran. O, what need have you to fear, feel perturbed and worry? Your stories are told on the earth and in the sky. Now, it is three in the morning. How many of you are saturating your prayer mats with your tears and the heart of the earth with your sacrifices. What will these poor rulers do? Sharia demands. We do not fight for the rulers. It is also the dictate of Islam not to fear them. Allah be thanked, He has started a river with full splendour. Now, become the water of this river. Remain united like the water of the river and keep advancing without feeling tired. The dirt thrown on the flowing rivers is itself wished away. The Posh and Secret areas of Islamabad are full of the people who work against Islam. Some of them draw salary from Israel and some others from India. These people encircle every ruler and teach him lessons against Jihaad, Madrassa and Masjid. The present rulers are also surrounded by such people and are doing negative deeds to run their country. They get encouragement and cooperation from America and India for doing these negative deeds. All this is right but tell me please, " Wth whom is Allah?" Who has protected you and your work uptil now? Mr. Pervaiz Musharrif issued final orders more than thrice to wipe you out. But who was protecting you? It is only Allah the Almighty Who is the Lord of the Great throne, Who is All-Powerful, All Pervasive and Almighty. May I be the sacrificed to the name of that Great Dear Lord's Greatness, Love and Assistance. Allah-o-Akbar! How has Allah protected this work and expanded it. We should be attached to Allah and turn our direction to Allah not to this world and on this occasion, we should call Allah as

 and repent of every sin. We should forget the luxuries and enjoyments in the world and be lost in the Hereafter and be steeped in the obligation and remembrance of Allah!.... , , . If Allah grants us with this power, success will lick our feet if Allah wills.

Let us end today's column at a stressive saying of Hazrat Sheikh Ahmad bin Ali Alboi. Hazrat Sheikh writes: Hazrat Ali was blessed with this activity. He would supplicate to Allah in the wars through this activity. This activity is the best source of protection, multiplication and revelation of blessings. If someone is affected by giants, magic or spell, all this ends up due to the blessings of this activity. It is a sacred supplication comprising of the Holy Quran. If it is made a routine thrice for each sincerely and attentively, you will be blessed with wonderful benefits if Allah wills. (Durrood Sharif in the beginning and at the end)

May Allah be kind to us all and the entire Muslm Ummah!
