Rouf's Omnibus Of Thoughts

Green Blue Red

2009-09-30T23:02:00.000-07:00

Green Blue Red

I saw it in its early hour.
When it was Green carpals allover.
Full of fragrance, extremely fair
Nourished by Nature with utmost care.
Unaware of Moths, Bees , flies & Drone
That hunt to steal it from its own.
Greenness , The innocence ; Carpels , The shield
Fragrance, The wisdom; Fairness, The yield.
I eyed on it to witness its growth
From Green to Red & praise the both

To my surprise, it turned to Blue
Stretched its Sepals & lost its hue.
It behaved like an ordinary one
In the garden , secured by none.
With pollens open easy to steal
Weakened its Stalk , thus lowered the Zeal.
There was nothing more extraordinary to be seen
So I closed my eyes and left the scene
Disappointed & afraid that it may
Like other flowers stay blue till decay

Next, summer to my utmost surprise
I saw the same flower during sunrise.
With Petals turned to sharp Red
With same fragrance but allover spread.
In it I found not a trace of blue
Stalk is firm , Petals together glue.
Red is honour , dignity , quest
Fragrance is knowledge with wisdom at best.
I salute it for being extraordinary
As a flower of garden of imaginary
The reason why it turned Blue in between
To find it out, I am so keen
Was it a hallucination , or a reality
Will remain always an unfold mystery .

Purpose of Life

2009-04-18T03:17:00.000-07:00

Now a days , we are so much engaged in our daily life routines of business , job household entertainment fun that we do not have time to think about life objectively so that we could know the truth about this world and purpose behind our creation.
If you put the basic fundamental question to anyone that “What is the purpose of Life?”. There will be lot of answers. But no one will tell you what they have concluded from their observations but they will tell you that ‘What my father said about it’ or what my teacher said about it’ and so on and so forth.
Now if you put the questions like why do we eat? Why do we work? , the answers will be appropriate like we eat to sustain our life; we work to support us and our families. The answers are appropriate and more or less similar because they are the necessities of all human beings.
Now ask “What is the purpose of Life?” Answers will be different from different people. It is because we are confused. We really don’t know. Instead of saying, we really don’t know, we give any answer which we are programmed to give.
Let’s give a thought! Are we here in this world only to eat, sleep, wear good cloths, and get worldly knowledge and to become officers and acquire worldly wealth? Isn’t there any wisdom behind the creation of ours and that of this beautiful universe?
Here I would like to mention a few verses from the Holy Quran that address this subject. We seek the protection of Allah from every evil thing. Allah mentions to us in the Holy Quran,
"And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding-Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
Al-Quran 3:189:191

On seeing a big building, large ship, an aero plane, satellite, computer, we at once think that how incredible is it. Yet these are the things made by human beings. So what about the human body with its complex and error free system? Just think about it?
Think about the brain its complexity and its accuracy. This is the brain which made all the above mentioned buildings, computers, aero planes, satellite system , dam’s , power stations , etc. Just think about the brain and who made that?
Think about the creation of our heart, liver, kidneys, eyes and their working. How precise? Think about these and who created them? Who mastered their design? Think about these and think about the whole universe. Think about the perfection of this universe.
Did all of this synchronization, perfection happened by chance? No of course not. To think that it all happened by chance is complete foolishness.
In the least, it indicates that however it came to exist-it exists beyond the realm of human capability. We will all agree to that. The Being, The Almighty Power, God, The Creator who has the knowledge to design and proportion created all of this and is responsible for maintaining it. HE is the only one that deserves praise and gratitude.
If I were to give you five hundred Rupees for nothing but just to read this article. You would at least say Thank You very much. So what about your eyes, your kidney, your heart, your legs your hands, your children your darling spouse and your life. Who gave all of that? Is He not worthy of Praise and Thanks? Is he not worthy of Worship (Ibadah) and recognition?
That is the purpose and goal of this life and about which Allah said in Quran
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.”
Al-Quran 51:56

So, the purpose of life is evident. It is to recognize the Creator and to be grateful to Him. It is to worship him and to obey the laws which He is determined us through His Noble Book Quran and His beloved Messenger.

A Dilemma For Pakistan

2009-04-04T05:28:00.000-07:00

The Pakistani Government claims their country as an Islamic Republic. But when Sharia was imposed in Swat valley. The intellectual's including some govt. and opposition members have said that imposing Sharia in swat is a black spot in the history of Pakistan.
In my opinion , Pakistani govt.,politicians,think tank and even common poeple are in dilemma (most appropriate will be multemma) of what kind of Pakistan they want. Is it a secular,liberal,democratic,or Islamic state ,they want it to be.

The key to the success of Pakistan is that first they have to be sure about what they want. If they need a true Islamic state, then imposition of Sharia should be welcomed by all walks of life, even it should be encouraged to be the legislation of all the states of Pakistan. If they need otherwise, then they have to workout for that by increasing the friendship with Uncle Sam who will increase their economical strength and bombard the Islamic Madrasa's and scholars in the name of war against terrorism . Furthermore they have to welcome the introduction of dance clubs,pubs , nightclubs and be ready to face other social evils of obscenity , alcoholism , rape ,child abuse and all such evils which west is facing today.

Faith

2009-03-29T02:49:00.000-07:00

Faith is a candle which lightens the heart from deep inside with the fabulous rays of Allah's Love and Love of His beloved Prophet.Faith is a flower which perfumes entire human body with the fragrance of trust and certainty. Faith is a flow which purifies the dirt of a heart and beautifies one's character. It is a tonic which stimulates and activates every part of body with an energetic will of doing good and forbidding evil.Faith is that which lets us differentiate good with bad.Faith enables one to spread the word of God , the ultimate truth.It gives the courage, the guts to stop the wrong and fight against evil with the hand or with the tongue or at least feeling bad about it inwardly. Those feeling soon grow up and become words and the words grow to become acts . These acts are our final destiny , an immortal life ,contrary to this ephemeral life. The immortal life, It is pleasant or miserable. It is our choice. We have to choose for us either eternal pleasure or eternal miseries. Decision is ours . Options are two , Birr or Taqwa.

Sex Education In Islam

2009-03-28T23:58:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine is advocating for sex education by quoting a tradition as Aisha, the wife of the prophet testified, "Blessed are the women of the Ansar (the citizens of Madina). Shyness did not stand in their way seeking knowledge about their religion." (All except Termizi).
The hadith he mentioned is not having anything to support sex education.
The Madinite women used to come and discuss directly with Prophet Muhammad (sw) everything including sexual affairs. But later after the marriage of Prophet Muhammad (Sw) took place with Aisha (ra) these affairs were transmitted via Aisha (ra). Infact, the sole purpose of marrying with Aisha was the same.

Sex education is nothing but a tool of the west for the promotion of debased sexual values. West is using it a weapon to introduce indecency in Islamic countries.It will be worth to mention testimony of an American female doctor who worked in an Arab country, and saw the state of her own country, and realized what was wrong with the spread of “sex education” among male and female students in schools. She says," If your women in the east do not know some of the secrets of sex that are known by American girls, I would say – with a clear conscience – that it is better for you to remain ignorant than to enjoy this knowledge. We have given our girls lessons so that they will know about sex in detail, but soon one of them will leave the lecture hall, looking for the nearest boy, to practise with him the sexual theories carelessly, as if she is taking part in a play or playing a game. The natural result of that is an increase in fooling about and promiscuity."

Mumbai Attacks- Loss Of Innocent Lives

2008-11-29T22:52:00.000-08:00

Every one irrespective of religion ,caste , creed and gender is heart
broken and so am i for the Mumbai massacre and feel sorry about
hundreds of innocent lives taken there. The rage and anger shown by
Indian citizens is a natural response and it should be there.I really
appreciate there speaches,blogs and interviews which talk about loss
of human life,innocenence , massacre and so on. We saw Candle marching
and sloganearing as a mark of peace demand and protest respectively.
But let me ask a question. Aren't we the people of Kashmir Humans.
When the same kind of massacre is done by Indian Security Forces
here,why everyone including Indian bloggers, media reporters and peace
lovers keep mum. Where they hide when the Indian Army does same kind
of massacre in Kashmir. Where were they when the Indian Troops killed
more than 100 peaceful protesters in August this year. Wasn't it a
same kind or i would say higher degree of massacre than this one?
Why every one was silent when the so called Brave security forces of
India massacred 60 sikhs in Chatti singh pura Kashmir and blammed the
local kashmiri youth (which was later investigaved after DNA test of
dead bodies). Was'nt it a loss of innocent life?
When more than fifty women where rapped in a village by the troops of
regiment in a single crack down night.Wasn't it a barbaric act?
Why many such countless attrocities,barbaric acts,massacres are
altogether ignored.

Why this biased approach. ??????

I am Kashmiri

2008-09-09T03:22:00.000-07:00

I am Kashmiri, now aware one
Cries are mine, Mine slogan

I am the fighter under my lead
Freedom, freedom is my creed

I was hushed from past six decade
Hoping u to fulfill promise u made

Sometime looking for outsider
Hoping to put u under pressure

My neighbor left me for his pride
I got victimized of leadership divide

Now I realized, that all I have to be
The leader, the worrier, the nominee

Lo! I am on roads to set myself free
Waste is your effort, to hinder me

Why Indian People Are Against Kashmir Cause

2008-09-06T23:30:00.000-07:00

This is true and for this i will put blame on Indian biased media. An Indian , may it be NRI , trusts on India based media. Indian media is not trustworthy when it comes the Kashmir issue but for other issues like Bihar floods , spread of dengue , rap of a minor in Noida , we can trust Indian media. In case of Kashmir issue , it has got the curb by Indian Intelligence agencies which is crystal clear and evident from gaging of local media and after-silence of Indian media during recent uprising in Kashmir.
At the restart of Kashmir Uprising in August' 08, we got a tinge of truth in Indian media and picked some factual articles like that of Arundhati Roy and Avijit Ghosh. But afterwards, what happened? A reminder, an instruction or a threat erased the near to truth paras from all Indian newspapers and wiped out few factual words from all news channels.
On Sept ' 08 an earthquake of low intensity without any loss of life and property was highlighted by Indian media but there was no news about the protests , curfew and aftermath of CRPF in Islamabad and Killing of youth in Nawhatta by CRPF in Srinager which took place on the same day.
Now the problem with Indian people is that they solely trust their media with the result they are ignorant of the Kashmir situation. That is why it is common to see the comments againest Kashmir cause and this is the cause for their hatred for us.
I am sure , if they will go through the history of Kashmir , open their eyes , look beyond the dark umbrella of Indian biased media ; It will not be a shock that we will see same protests in Delhi and Mumbai for the 'Azadi of Kashmir' where the participants would be none other than Indians.

Oh! My Kashmir

2008-09-02T02:54:00.000-07:00

Oh! My Kashmir, disturbed with Oppression
The target of brutality, victim of Occupation

You were Sovereign from older age
The outsider put you in the cage

Then you were ignored of basic right
Treated as slave ,with condition plight

Now u raged, u voiced with protest
They put you hostage in your nest

How long you will bear this pain
Time is yours , just break the chain

Regain your lost wings for flight
Which is ahead for your delight

Freedom is yours, no one can impede
Rouf will celebrate, you will succeed.

Land Transfer Order Re-Imposed.

2008-09-01T03:39:00.000-07:00

This is the another example of how Kashmiri people are deceived by Indian Government from the last 60 years. This is an example of open oppression against Kashmiries.
Tired of the demonstrations and peaceful protests of Kashmiri people and to put dust in the eyes of international community, Indian authorities arrested their leaders , imposed deadly indefinite curfew and then in the mid-night reissued an order of Land Transfer but this time with another color of unchanged proprietary status.
But , for a Kashmiri , this land row is now not an issue. For them the goal is freedom. The goal of getting back the homeland. Indian authorities are just giving the color of communal clash to a just freedom struggle. Indian government can not get anything but shame from suppressing the voice of Kashmiri.

Indian Democracy Attempting Suicide In Kashmir

2008-08-31T04:32:00.000-07:00

These days Indian Democracy has come to roads of Kashmir and is openly tearing down its pillars . No one comes for its rescue.

It has already cut down its one pillar "Guarantee of basic human rights".

Forget about guarantee of rights, Kashmir people have been deprived of the basic needs of food , shelter and , medication. This is evident from the fact that from the last 9 days , people of Kashmir have been made captive in their homes by imposing Indefinite curfew. People are dying for food and medication and one who defy curfew are fired to death under the tag of Shoot at Sight order.

It has teared down its pillar "Freedom of Expression".

People of Kashmir want to express their will, the will of self-determination by peaceful protests and sit-on's , which international community has witnessed during the month of August 2008.
Out of those protesters some are fired to death and others are taken into custody where they are torchured to death.

The condition of its another pillar "Minority Rights" is on the verge of death.

The houses of muslims in Jammu and Kishtwar are being looted and some are forced to migrate.

What happend to the pillar "Equality before law".

When hindus protest in jammu , Indian troops are mare spectators and when muslims protest in Kashmir , they are fired to death.

Enough is Enough , the 4th pillar of Democracy "Media" has been gagged.

By putting curbs on local media, Indian government want to conceil the true facts and happenings from international community. So much so , some leading news papers including Greater Kashmir was unable to hit the stands as its staff was beaten and were not allowed to do work although they were having valid curfew passes. People of Kashmir have reverted back to traditional bbc urdu service for valid news as they do'nt trust Indian biased media.
