Ashura Poem

The Day the Skies Wept Blood
  The tenth dawn of Islam's new year, Seventy-two of the  bravest who had nothing to fear, 
  Came out to battle for our pride,
  Knowing that the journey to Heaven would be their very  next ride.
  
  On the blistering sands, under the scorching sun,
  Stood the mighty Hussein, a soldier second to none,
  With the fragrance of musk, it had to be said,
  The skies of Karbala were already turning red.
  
  Every ally wanted the honor of being first,
  To drink the honey of paradise and quench their
  thirst,
  As each one's body fell on the sand and mud, 
  It was Ashura, the day the skies wept blood.
  
  A marriage in the tent during this grieving hour,
  Abdullah knew that the time was not far,
  In the attire of a groom, He set out to fight,
  Realizing the loss, Sakina cried throughout that
  night. 
  
  Abbas did not even drink a sip from the river,
  But was hit by arrows from the trees' rear,
  Hussein's final support ascended to the heavens,
  It was now only Hussein and those inhumane devils.
  
  But, Ali Akbar, the very valiant youngster the world
  has seen,   Was hit in the heart during the pinnacle of His teens,
 The face of the Prophet (SA) with blood was smeared,
  Hussein's tears completely drenched His beard.
  
  Asgar, the courageous six month old prince,
  Fought for Islam's pride without hesitance, 
  Until that heartless satan let his arrow fly,
  Young Ali Asgar's blood was taken by the sky.
  
   Hussein ibn Ali, the Noble Son, and The Greatest
  Martyr,   Stood ready to fight with absolutely no fear,
  Until a teary eyed Jibrael descended from the Heavens,
  Allah's wish is Your sacrifice Oh Highborn Eminence.
  
  Hussein happily welcomed Allah's Missive,
  Bowed down to Sajdah for the future billions,
  Zainab, cried aloud at the sight of Her mind's eye, 
  Upon witnessing Her imperial brother peacefully die.
 

Princess Sakina with Her cheeks so blue,
  From all the slapping that mad man put Her through,
  Those hellion's horses were allowed to run,
  And on the Holy Bodies, further damage was done. 
  
  Tears roll down my cheeks as I pen these verses,
  Remembering the pain of Hussein and His masses,
  But if it wasn't for Hussein we wouldn't be where
  we are,   We wouldn't be Mumins.

Lets Become Muslims beyond Ramadan

Lets Become Muslims beyond Ramadan

It is now time for us to re-evaluate our Eemaan. Question ourselves, and in process improve ourselves.

We claim to be Muslims, we claim to be Mumin, we assert to believe in Allah Taala, we declare to have faith in our Imams (AS) and Duatul Mutlaqueen (RA), but do we really believe in all with a firm heart, or is it just something we say? We claim to "believe" in the Unseen Allah, but we see the harmful effects of backbiting, drinking, clubbing, etc, yet we don't avoid them. Let's ask ourselves that if we don't even believe in what can be seen, do we really believe in the Unseen? Just "believing" in the existence of Allah does not make us Muslims or Mumins, Shaitaan also, by the way, "believes" in Allah. We must act like Muslims also.

We must also do in actions that what we say in words and that what we know in thoughts. We say we're Muslims, but are we really? He is not a true Muslim whose hands and tongue are violent. Several of us stopped cursing and backbiting and lying during the month of Ramadan, but now what? Since Ramadan is over, should we return to those faults? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

Every Muslim is to pray 5 times a day, every day, no exceptions. Several of us did that very promptly during Ramadan and most of us came to masjid for the Imamat Namaaz. Now that Ramadan is over, now what? Should we give up those prayers just because Ramadan is over? can't we get time to pray Imamat Namaaz at least one time in the Masjid? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

We made duas because we understood that indeed it is Allah who listens and grants. We sought forgiveness from Allah because we realized our faults and felt guilty. We improved our conducts and lowered our voices and controlled our tempers because we realized that a Mumeen is he whose actions represent peace and nobility. Now that Ramadan is over, will we go back to our same old self? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

We tried our best to close our ears to that which was not permissible to hear, we tried our best to stop our tongues at times when we were about to say something which we are not allowed to say, we tried our best to lower our gazes at sights which we are not allowed to see. Now that Ramadan is over, do those things become permissible to us? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

We refrained from going to clubs and watching movies and listening to songs and dancing during Ramadan because we realized these attributes do not represent Muslims. Now that Ramadan is over, should we return to our previous lifestyle? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

We were awake at nights, not spending time in clubs or with friends, but instead we were awake at nights to do ibaadat for the Will and Pleasure of Allah. Now that Ramadan is over, are we relieved of our responsibilities? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

With the call of Huzurealla (TUS) indicating the salawat jaman being served to mumineen in shehrulla be hygienic and nutritious, we took this call for even not bringing kharas at the time of mid-namaaz Iftaar and instead moved to biscuits, tamra and chai. The reason for this move was to have a healthy mind and body. Now that Ramadan is over, should we return to the same eating habits of our previous palates and prove the famous saying of " 2 Mithaas, 2 Kharas, Bypass, Khalaas"? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

Whenever we used to meet each other we used to utter the words "DUA MA YAAD" or sent messages of "ILTEMAAS UD DUA" or simply SMS "DMY". Now that Ramadan is over, should we forget our relatives, friends and foes in our everyday duas and also not ask them for their duas? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???

We refrained from dawn to dusk, not only from the Haraam, but also the Halaal. The purpose of this abstinence was to create patience and virtue, and realize that if you want you can even stay away from the Halaal, so why can you not avoid the Haraam? Sure you can. You just need the will. Now that Ramadan is over, can we go back to eating, talking, watching, doing, and thinking Haraam? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???
We desisted from trimming our beards. We wore the Islamic attire (Quomi Libaas) which has been given to us as an identity by our Moula (TUS). We adored to wear the Dawat Topi wherever we went, which our Moula (TUS) Generously referred to "MARO SAYO TAMARA UPAR CHHE" in his Qalemaat Nooraniyah. Now that Ramadan is over, should we go back to the fashion of shaving our beards, removing the dawat topi , the Holy Saya of Our Aqa & Moula TUS from our heads, so as to look modern? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???
We recited Quran Majid day and night and some of us even went out of their way and heeded to memorize the last surats of Amma Sipara as per our Moula's wish. Now that Ramadan is over, should we put the Holy Quran back on the high end shelf of our rooms and start reading the fiction novels and other materials? Are we Muslims only in Ramadan???
Let us plead to Allah Sub'hanahu Taala to grant us tawfiq to obey Shariat – e – Mohammadiyah and attain the greatest of sawaabs in doing so, and make us follow the whole year around with the things we do in Ramadan only. Lets gear up to become muslims all around the year - "Lets Become Muslims beyond Ramadan"

We sincerely pray that Allah Subhanahu grants our Aqa Moula Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb (TUS), who is to us, not only a personality, but a phenomenon of all that is good and noble, in the past and present, a continued good health and strength to preside over our destiny until the Judgment day. AMEEN.

Dua maa yaad - Actual Meaning

Since we always say "Dua maa yaad" to each other, I thought of sharing a small story about the actual meaning of this three letter word. Just go on and read it and I am sure you will start thinking the way I am after reading this story. A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to Allah. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing. Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing. Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?" "My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything." "You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings." "Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" "He prayed that all your prayers be answered." For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. This is too good not to share... My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed. "What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself".

Maa Baap ni Qadr Ne Buzho

Maa Baap ni Qadr NE Buzho Zinda Maa Baap na saya ma mohabbat ni be vaato karine joi lo. Hoth ardha bidaya baad temni qabr par phool muki NE sun karso? Dil si DOA aapnar NE khara dil si hamesha milta rehjo. Khaak ma chhupai jay, pachhi qabrastan jai maathu muki sun karso? Maut in ghanti vagse, alvida Thai jaase, Mohabbat no haath tamari peshani par nahi fiire, Laakh koshish karso, pyaar no lahavo nahi mile, Pachhi Tamara makan ma temni rangeen tasweer lagavi NE sun karso? Maa Baap no khazano naseebdar aulad nej mile. Taslim hoy to tena qadam par, pachhi gayr na qadam NE chumvu sun? Pyaar ni bharti, aankh ni ek michkar ma chaali jase, Pachhi kinare sip jamaa Kari NE sun karso? Hayaati maj temne khush karjo, Paankhar ma bahar ni mausm aavse. Chota rahi zaeefi ni lakri no saharo banjo. Pyar si haath thaami NE ziyarat karavjo. Daulat kharachta duniya ma saghlu milse, maa baap nahi mile. Pachhi Laakho kamai NE sun karso? Gayelo waqt pachho nahi aave, Mohabbat si 'Beta' bolavnar koi nahi mile, Pachhi uchhi ni mohabbat lai NE aansoo saari NE sun karso? Source:Naseem e shar -Rajab 1427 H. P.13
