LIFE.. A Grateful Journey to Beautiful Destination

میری دعا کیسے قبول ہو !!! یہ تو سب جانتے ہیں کہ دعا کی قبولیت کا محض دارومدار نیتوں پر ہے ،  مخلص اور سچے دل سے نکلی دعا کو اللہ تعالی رد نہیں کرتے ‎   یہ تو ہم سب بھی جانتے ہیں مگر اس کے باوجود کیوں اکثر ہم جب دعا کے لیے ہاتھ اٹھاتے ہیں،  ہم وہ کچھ پڑھتے ہیں جو کہ ہماری دل سے تو کوسوں دور پر ہماری سمجھ سے بھی عاری ہوتا ہے۔  میرا اشارہ عربی میں  بغیر سمجے دعا پڑھنے کی طرف ہے۔  دعا اللّه سے تعلق، اللّه  سے قلام، ان کی بلا دستی اور اپنی عاجزی  کآ اقرار اور اپنی جائز ضروریات کو ان کے سامنے رکھنے کآ  عمل  ہے اور قبولیت  کے لیے عاجزی  مخلصی اور انکساری  شرط ہیں۔ اس عمل میں زبان کا کوئی دخل نہیں۔ پھر کیوں ہمیں بچپن سے ہی عربی میں دعایں یاد کرا دی جاتی ہیں جبکے ان کی معنی اور مفہوم سمجے بغیر ہم ہر نماز کے بعد وہی دعائیں دھراتے ہیں ، اس کے علاوہ روز مرا کی دعائیں جیسے کھانا کھانے کی دعا، گھر سے نکلنے کی دعا، سونے اور اٹھنے کی دعا وغیرہ۔ میرے نزدیک ہمیں عربی دعا کو سمجھ کر اور محسوس  کر کے ہی پڑھنا چاہیے اور چونکے ع...

 Citizenship of any land or Country entitles one to many rights, e.g. Living, Education, Owning a house, Social Security, Justice, and many others; moreover, citizenship is an identity of where the individual belongs.  . Being a Citizen of a developed country is so much different than a third-world developing country. A developed country will ensure their citizen has access to all basic human needs of food, shelter and security, physical and mental health, education, basic income, and employability, whereas, for a developing country, the governments are usually busy nurturing their own pockets with very little to spend on common people.  .  Due to this, it is obvious for one to strive to get the citizenship of developed countries. Many across the globe dream to be citizens of Canada, Australia, or the US. Here in Australia, I meet people on daily basis, who have been striving very hard day in and out with the single goal to be eligible for Australian Citizenship one ...

  "In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful All praises are for Allah SWT, the most Compassionate, the most Forgiving. Salutations and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and companions. Oh Allah, I submit myself to You. I realize that parenting a child is a very difficult task and I turn to You in humility for Your help. I implore You for Your wisdom and guidance. Oh Allah, I know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You. Help me do that in the best way. Teach me how to love in a way that You would have me love. Help me where I need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole.

EGALITARIANISM Just came across this word in an article signifying the values of Australia, it is also quoted as Equalitarianism, which is characterized by the idea that all humans are equal in fundamental worth and status.  This is a beautiful idea, engraved into Australian values and constitution. Interestingly, similar was the idea advocated by our Holy Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him), when he said in his last sermon that All men are equal in eyes of God, and no Arab has any superiority than non-Arab and no white have any superiority than black, best among you is the one who fears God the most.   

Yesterday while returning back from Work, I had involved in Car Accident at NKV Highway.  . Fortunately, I was perfectly fine with small impact on the car.  .  With average speed of 80km/hr, I noticed a sudden stop of car in front of me, due to which I had no other option to pull my brakes completely. However I realized instantly that it was not enough and I decided to pull my Hand Brake, which made my car skid off the road and hit the divider. (later i came to know that the sudden brakes were due to a deadly accident in front which had toppled the cars and involved injuries as I saw running Bomba/Ambulance/Police cars to the area of incident.  .  Damage Parts; Bumper, Light, Mud Flipper, body on top of wheel .  At first I couldn't comprehend what had happened, which was natural behavior. I got out of car and the guy behind me asked me if he can go as he was not involved in any accident. He informed me to call 999 and share the incident. . W...

Start with great name of Allah, who is merciful and benevolent.  Thanks to Him for curing my angle from Flu, cough and fever.  Indeed it was hard test on us, watching our daughter suffer and being helpless. She got viral flu when we returned from Langkawi (14th January 2018) and although flu could be cured, it was cough which made her suffer more and every time she coughed in middle of night, her eyes would question me if I could relieve her somehow and yet me try to comfort her by tapping her back.  We been to hospital thrice and got her swallow all the medicines prescribed by doctors along with multiple nebolizations to soothe her cough. .

May we come across each other again. May this is not the end but a beautiful beginning. 

Before I write about all the good things that have happened this year and last year, lets just jot down something i want to remember for my life.  .  Today I had my first "Car Accident" in Malaysia, Labuan to be exact.   Well Car Accident as Malaysians Say,  . Below is the picture of car AFTER accident.  Yea Exactly!, I think before and after were the same, :P  It was bumper to bumper hit at the roundabout, As i remember I was looking at the side mirror when the car stopped in front and Bang,, Hit the Bumper.  . NOTE: For those who do not know, I do not have Malaysian Licence, I drive with my Pakistani Licence sometimes if required. But it has been notified by JPJ that we can use Pakistani Licence under their Act.  . Until now, no problems encountered, no road block have stopped me, All had been protected, but today only was a reminder to me that, HEY! Get a Malaysian Licence OK. HAHA. . Well, the car was driven by ...

One Photo --- Then you need to See into Her..  . Asking around, how would she be, her hobbies, her interests, likes, dislikes, nature, attitude. Is she calm or tempered, Is she sensible and matured or childish. Many questions come across one, who have to See into her from one photo.  . Most of the sources that inform you of her particulars tend to satisfy physical requirements, but how would one trust someone on HER, why would anyone tell me bad about anyone and basically who isnt imperfect.  .  So I cannot see into her, period.  .  I trust nobody with such an important decision of Life.  .  Decision, that would change my life forever.  Decision that may be most awesome one or full of regret.  When we are not sure of next day life, when we are just the puppets of Master Plan of God, Why do we need to consider and evaluate all above. Then comes "HOPE" . Hope & Trust in God.  You trust that wh...

Today Ibrahim came to my house with his friend Ahmed.  I have been hearing about Ahmed all this while and it was my first time to see him in person.  .  Well how to describe him, He impressed me with his first meeting and is kind of person I would like to meet again. Meeting for first time and yet it felt we are friends since long, that is how he created his first impression.  . He started asking me about my marriage plans and told me that he already have wife and a kid while he is just 22. While talking about the qualities of a wife, we came to one of the quality i.e. Religious.  . He shared how important it is to offer Prayers, i.e. 5 times a day.  .  "Islam have 5 pillars, out of which, Hajj is only obligatory when you have resources, Zakat when you are capable, fasting once in a year, Shahadah we all say, then last are prayers which infact are the only element that keep us Muslim every day. Prayers are commandment from Allah and...
