"It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him. "

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmath Ullahi Wa Barkatahu
 
Surely Allah SWT has SOLUTION for every PROBLEM you have, but YOU should submit to Allah SWT instead of flexing your strayed-confidence.

Allah SWT manages everything according to His TERMS, cannot be dictated with your flawed ideas and conditions.

There cannot be TWO captains in the same boat, either you take the control (not sure of success) or hand it over to the Almighty SWT.
 
بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
السلامُ علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکاتہ
 

Hope this mail finds you in the best of health and happiness. Here is an excerpt of the article that you may find beneficial.
 
"By expressing daily gratitude we will learn how to understand and deal with difficulties. It will make us pay more attention to everything that has been bestowed upon us rather than focusing on what we don't have. Happiness is a state of mind. You can be a millionaire and get anything you want in this world but still end up as unhappy. The trick of nurturing your own soul is to give thanks. The important points are to look at your past and give thanks for the many favors that Allah has already bestowed upon you. Think of the night that merges into day. Look also at your present life. There are probably hundreds of things you are surrounded with that are only given to you by the mercy of Allah. So give thanks and you will make a remarkable change in your life with "Alhamdulillah" for everything.

Interview: Dr. Shaikh Aftab Anwar - Higher Education offers investment opportunity too
 
Dr. Shaikh Aftab Anwar, the dynamic Principal of AKI's Poona College at Pune is an ardent supporter of self-financing higher education. Anwar who also heads the Poona Institute of management Sciences and Entrepreneurship under the management of Anjuman Khairul Islam (AKI) believes in cross subsidizing of mainstream courses that do not fetch revenue against market savvy courses like MBA, MCA or even engineering and medicine.

Anwar who recently took over as the Principal of the Poona College, an institution set up in 1971, says higher education should be thought of as an investment opportunity by industrialists and entrepreneurs. The College with over 5,000 students currently runs programmes in various disciplines at graduation level and has courses like M.Sc in chemistry, electronics, and zoology, MA in economics, Urdu, and English literature, Its subsidiary Poona Institute of Management Science and Entrepreneurship has self- financing courses like MBA, Master of Personnel Management (MPM), Master of Computer Management (MCM), PG Diploma in Business Management and Master of Business Studies (MBS). The twin colleges have nearly 450 foreign students from as many as 40 and odd nations. He recently spoke to Maqbool Ahmed Siraj for Islamic Voice on several issues pertaining to Muslim education:

On higher education as an investment opportunity
Several educational institutions run by Muslims are offshoots of orphanages, madrasas or wakf institutions of yore. They were basically charitable institutions but used to have huge assets, though not much of income. These could take up several courses that fetch revenue which could cross subsidize such courses like BA, B.Sc etc which are not in high demand in the market. For instance all computer, banking or business oriented courses are market-savvy and could be source of earning revenue. Similarly courses in biotechnology and lab technology could also be thought of as investment ventures. Unless you have revenue, you cannot manage assets these days nor even ideally nurture orphans and destitute or fund the welfare schemes.

On attracting revenue from diverse sources
Thousands of students from developing nations of Africa and Middle East could be attracted to these courses. Several of our universities and colleges could also have off-shore campuses. All that you need to do is to invest in infrastructure that meets the international standards and recruit staff with high degree of professionalism.

Market savvy courses are taking away intellectual material from the community and barely any one feels like opting for professions such as economist, political or social scientists or even entering fields like journalism, law or fine arts.

It is a worrisome phenomenon that should engage the community bigwigs. Unless we train good students in discipline in liberal arts, the community will remain bereft of thinkers, planners and administrators. We are having a herd mentality and push for engineering, medicine and management courses. We need to reorder the priorities and place eggs in all the baskets. As I see only third rate students enter courses like economics, sociology, or law.

Why is it that no fresh ideas emerge among Muslims?
There is a lot of inbreeding in the Muslim educational institutions. Students taught in a college are recruited by the same colleges. I prod my staffers to move out of the college if they have better offers from other institutions. Similarly staffers from diverse academic and campus backgrounds should be recruited by Muslim colleges which will bring diversity in experience and enrich the atmosphere leading to greater degree of professionalism.

On women's education
Education among Muslim women is rising but not the employment opportunities. Arrival of information technology is a boon in the sense that it offers in-house work opportunities for women who would not like to face the rough and tumble of market. Muslim community should think of IT as a cottage industry and set up call centres, medical transcription centres, data entry centres or processing labs etc. A seminar on latest market trends and aligning our educational institutions along the market needs would be quite in order at this juncture. The educational planners should think about it. The world is undergoing great changes in the wake of arrival of information technology and things will not remain stagnant. We will have to constantly alter our schemes.

Sponsorship system on its way out
http://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/sponsorship-system-way-230420390.html

Deputy Labor Minister for workers affairs Ahmad Al-Humaidan said that the ministry had started taking practical steps aimed at scrapping the individual sponsorship (kafala) system.

"We have already begun changing some technical terms related with the sponsorship system, like changing the term 'transfer of sponsorship' (naql kafala) to 'transfer of services.' Other steps included preventing sponsors from holding passports of foreign workers and canceling the condition to obtain the sponsor's approval for workers to bring their families to the Kingdom," he said.

The deputy minister made the remarks while addressing a seminar on private health firms in Riyadh, Al-Eqtisadiah business daily reported yesterday.

Al-Humaidan noted that the ministry replaced several provisions in the kafala system with new regulations that govern the relationship between the employer and the foreign worker. "If you look at any of these regulations, you can't see anything that is pointing to the sponsorship system. The ministry was able to remove all the restrictions imposed by sponsors on their workers," he said while claiming that at present, there are no obligations between the sponsor and the foreigner except those that come under the framework of an employer and employee.

Q & A
Seeking help from the dead (Awaliya'a)
Q1. My father-in-law believes that whenever he is in need of help or is caught up in a critical situation, he calls the names of the dead people (Awaliya'a), and he gets help from them as per his belief.

He also believes that on the Day of Judgment, this sheikh will protect him from hell and he daily recites his names. Now, he is also forcing other members of his family to follow him. For the past two years I am advising him to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah, but all my efforts are going in vain as he has said that he wouldn't listen to anything against his faith. At the same time he is also forcing his daughter (my wife) to believe in his faith. When I opposed he recommended his daughter to get separated from me, but by the grace of Allah she has strong Aqeedah. Should we stop meeting him and if so then what is the right of a daughter toward her father in this case. Please advise.

A1. Believing that dead people can help one, calling on them or seeking their help is a major Shirk. It is the practice of the people of Jahiliyah (pre-Islamic era); they admitted that Allah is the true God who has created everything, but at the same time they seek help from their idols or Jinn or dead saints. Allah said "And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" Surely, they will say: "Allah (has created them)."

Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allah, if Allah intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm, or if He (Allah) intended some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?" Say: "Sufficient for me is Allah; in Him those who trust (i.e. believers) must put their trust." (Qur'an, 39:38)

Muslim should seek help and support from Allah alone and not call on Awliya'a who are dead and who themselves are in need of Dua'a and mercy.

Allah said, "Verily, those whom you call upon besides Allah are slaves like you. So call upon them and let them answer you if you are truthful." (Qur'an, 7:194)

"And those whom you call upon besides Him (Allah) cannot help you nor canthey help themselves." (Qur'an, 7:197)

"Those whom they (Al-Mushrikun) invoke besides Allah have not created anything, but are themselves created. (They are) dead, lifeless, and they know not when they will be raised up." (Qur'an, 16: 20-21)

My advice to you regarding your father-in-law is:

1. Pray to Allah and make sincere Dua'a asking Allah to guide him.

2. Find someone of his age or older than him with good faith (Aqeedah) and for whom he has respect. Ask him to explain to your father-in-law the truth. You need to know the bases of his belief and his evidences, and then discuss it with him in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

3. With such belief he has no authority on his Muslim daughter and he has no right to divorce her.

4. Be kind to him as much as you can, and deal with him in the best way but never listen to him if he asks you to disobey Allah.

Allah said, "And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years, give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination. But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do." (Qur'an, 31: 14-15)

5. If he is calling others to his belief and if he tries to influence them then you should keep your children and other minors away from his company, so as not to get them influenced. It is your duty to protect their pure belief in Allah.

Allah said, "O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded." (Qur'an, 66 :6)

May Allah guide him and guide all misguided to the straight path.


The Maharam of a woman
Q2. Can the husband of my sister be considered as a Mahram for the sake of traveling?

A2. No, he is not your Mahram. Mahram is a person who can never marry the woman, for example, father, son, brother or uncle, etc. But, the husband of a woman's sister can marry her if her sister dies or divorces him.
 

Ruling on networking marketing
Q1. I would like to know if network marketing is Halal and if it is correct for one to take commission from the sales made by someone working in his or her network after they successfully refer products to other people.

A1. Network marketing is not Halal. It is forbidden because it includes Riba, and Gharar (ambiguous transaction) according to fatwa number 22935 issued by The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' in Saudi Arabia.

The fatwa says that these companies rely on marketing and advertising of their product which emphasizes the size of the large commission which the participant can earn, and offers the incentive of a large profit in return for a small sum, which is the price of the product. It is Haram according to Shariah for several reasons:

1. It involves Riba of two types - Riba Al-Fadl (involving exchange of goods of the same type but of different quantity) and Riba Al-Nasi'ah (involving deferred payment of a larger amount if it were paid immediately). The participant pays a small amount of money in order to gain a lot of money, in other words he pays cash for cash of a different amount and with deferred payment. This is the kind of Riba that is forbidden according to texts and scholarly consensus. The product which the company sells to the agent is simply a screen for this transaction; it is not what the participant is seeking and it makes no difference to the ruling.

2. It is a kind of Gharar (ambiguous transaction) that is forbidden in Shariah, because the participant does not know whether he will be successful in finding the number of purchasers (participants) required or not. No matter how long pyramid or network marketing lasts, it must inevitably reach an end, and when a person joins the pyramid he does not know whether he will be in a higher level and make a profit, or in the lower level and make a loss. Mostly members of the pyramid lose out, except for the few at the top. Eventually, its losses, one thing which is feared the most by people. One of two things may happen, and it is usually the one that is most feared. The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade ambiguous transactions. (Muslim)

3. These transactions involve consuming people's wealth unlawfully because the companies and some participants benefit by tricking others and this is forbidden. Allah said, "O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly." (Qur'an,4:29)

4. This transaction involves cheating, deceiving and tricking people by showing the product as if that is the purpose of this transaction, when that is not the case, and by enticing them with the idea of large commission which people do not usually earn. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever deceives us is not one of us." (Muslim) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The two parties to a transaction have the choice, so long as they have not parted. If they are sincere and open in their dealings, the transaction will be blessed for them, but if they lie and conceal anything, the blessing of their transaction will be erased."

This is not like brokerage because in it the broker receives payment in return for selling a product, whereas in network marketing the participant pays a fee in order to market the product. Brokerage means marketing the product in a real sense, unlike network marketing where the real aim is to market the transaction, not the product, so the participant markets to others who will market to others and so on.

The transaction is not acceptable in terms of receiving it as a gift because not all kinds of gifts are permissible in Shari'ah. A gift given in return for a loan is Riba. Hence 'Abd-Allah Bin Salam told Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with them), "You are in a land where Riba is widespread among them. If you have some right over a man and he gives you a load of straw or a load of barley or a load of fodder, this is Riba." (Bukhari)

Gifts are subject to rulings based on the reason for which they are given. Hence, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to the Zakah collector who came and said,

"This is for you and this is what was given to me as a gift. Why don't you sit in the house of your father and mother and see whether you are given any gifts or not?"


Performing Sunnah prayers
Q2. If someone enters the mosque to offer Fajr prayer, should he first perform Tahyatul Masjid and then the Sunnah or just perform the Sunnah before the Fard if time is short before the Fajr prayer?

A2. If you pray the Sunnah Ratiba of Fajr at home after the Fajr Adhan that is before you come to the Masjid, then you will only pray Tahyat-ul-Masjid in the Mosque. However, if you have not prayed the Sunnah at home then you will pray Sunnah Ratibah in the mosque which will also be accounted as Tahyat-ul-Masjid. In case you come early to the Masjid before the Adhan for any Salah, just pray Tahyat-ul-Masjid and sit for the prayer. After the Adhan pray Sunnah Ratibah.
 
 
Ruling on interest
Q1.The money that I have been maintaining in a bank account in India gets periodical interest. What should be done with the interest?

A1. Muslims should stay away from Riba because it is one of the major sins. Allah, the Exalted warns believers from dealing with Riba and declared war against one who consumed it. He said, "O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from Riba (usury) (from now onward), if you are (really) believers. And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums)." (Qur'an, 2:278-279)

If the bank has an option of checking account then you should use of that, and stay away from all other types of accounts that give interest. However, if they add interest to your money, then don't leave the interest in your account. Take that money and give it to Islamic charitable organizations or poor and needy Muslims with the intention of getting rid of it.

Possessed by evil spirits
Q2. A person prays regularly and lives a proper Islamic life, but then later gets possessed by evil and dies due to it. What will be his/her Aakhirah?

A2. Those who get possessed by Jins or evil spirits to such an extent that they are not aware of what they are doing are not accountable for their actions toward Allah. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The pen has been lifted for three: the insane until he regains his sanity, the child until he reaches puberty, and the sleeper until he wakes up." (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, and Ibn Majah)

By the grace of Allah, a Muslim will get a reward for fulfilling all his obligations toward Allah when he was healthy and sane.

Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated, that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him ) said, "When a slave falls ill or travels, then he will get a reward similar to that he gets for good deeds practiced at home when in good health." (Bukhari)

Muslims should protect themselves by doing Dhikr (remembering Allah) like reciting Ayat-ul-Kursi (Qur'an, 2:225) and the last three Surahs of the Qur'an every morning and evening.

Claiming damage
Q3. I recently went through my dental surgery and one of my nerve got damaged during operation. I lost my taste sensation. Can I claim this type of damage from my doctor? Is it allowed according to Islamic Law?

A3. Yes, it is allowed if you think that the person who did it was careless and did not specialize in his field. The 'Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' in Saudi Arabia stated in fatwa number 10890 that "if a doctor performs what is required from him and he is skillful in his work, knows the exact condition of the patient he is operating on, and does not go beyond the condition at hand, no compensation is required if he commits a mistake. He will also not be liable for resulting death or physical disability, because he has performed what he is authorized to do so according to the Shari'ah.

However, if the doctor is not skillful it is not permissible for him to perform the surgery; it is even forbidden. If he carries it out then he must pay compensation for any error and will be liable for ensuing harm. The same will be the case if he is skillful, but he oversteps the limits of the operation, or has used an inappropriate instrument that  auses great pain, or has chosen a wrong time for surgery, or has operated on another organ, and so on. Doctors must pay compensation in these cases and will be liable for ensuing harm, because it is not permissible, rather it is forbidden for them to perform it." And Allah knows best.

 
Laziness
Narrated Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, "Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart." (Bukhari, Book #21, Hadith #243)

And if you contemplate the above sources, you'd notice that laziness is associated with salah because salah is the most difficult of the daily obligations that a Muslim must complete since it has to be done every day, 5 times a day, without fail. An interesting point to make here is that whoever is lazy in their salah will be lazy in other acts of worship and whoever is NOT lazy in their salah, he/she won't be lazy in other aspects of his/her life.

It's obvious from the above sources that laziness is not something to be taken lightly and needs to be addressed. In fact, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) used to seek refuge in Allah (glorified and exalted be He) from laziness that he used to mention it daily in this dua:

'O Allaah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being over powered by men.'

Daughter of a Rajput family embraces Islam

Shared by Mohammed Khan
Monday, 14 May 2012
Hyderabad, May 14:
Thakur Prahlad Singh cautioned his daughter Madhurani (36) 'see the decision you have taken is extremely wrong, you go back with your decision and no one would say anything to you. You will get back daddy, mummy, and brothers and sisters' love. But Madhurani did not pay heed to father's anger and admonishment. Finally Thakur Prahlad Singh told Madhu 'by looking to your determination it seems that you would rest only after accepting Islam, see! if you want to change your religion, you may become a Christian or accept Buddhism or you can become an ascetic if you like, but don't become a Muslim. I know very well about Islam and Muslims. Woman has no position in this religion. She is thought to be a house maid. You will repent after accepting Islam. If you insist on accepting Islam I will kill you.'
 
When Thakur Prahlad Singh stopped expressing his views, Madhu started talking with full confidence and religious fervor. Her father, mother and others remained awestricken listening to her speech.
 
Madhu allayed all their apprehensions regarding Islam with complete proofs. She said 'if there is any religion which gave a respectable status to women that is Islam. By saying that 'Heaven lies beneath mother's feet' Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) raised the position of woman to the height of the sky. As far as the matter of violence is concerned, Islam didn't teach violence rather it propagated the message of peace and brotherhood.
 
Daddy you term Islam as the religion devoid of manner and conduct and you think yourself to be cultured and well-mannered person still you warn me to kill if I accept Islam, while our prophet (pbuh) saved girls from being buried, nearly 1500 years ago.
 
Prahlad Sing and other family members remained speechless after listening to Madhus' lecture.
 
Later they decided they would not force her but will convince her with love and affection. But Allah guides whom He wills. So now Madhu is before us as a pure Muslim girl and hope her parents would also embrace Islam some day.
 
Madhu Rani is the eldest daughter of Thakur Prahlad Singh retired government servant. She belongs to Rajput family; she has two brothers and two sisters.
Madhurani whose Islamic name is Khadija told that the pleasure and tranquility she experienced after embracing Islam cannot be narrated in words. She was born in Warangal

Throwing light on the causes and reasons behind accepting Islam, Khadija told that she decided to embrace Islam after deep study of religious books of Hinduism and the holy Quran. She thought herself to be the most blessed person after becoming a Muslim. Answering a question she told that there were few Muslim workers in the company where she used to work; and she liked the way her friends used to offer prayers. She was very much impressed to see congregational prayers. She further told that though she was born in a hardcore Hindu family, from the beginning itself, she disliked bowing down before multiple gods.

Khadija told that Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is repeatedly mentioned in all the Hindu religious scriptures. All the books also mentioned Oneness of Allah.

After studying the religious books for years, many questions came to her mind. Who is she? What is her aim of life? But when she started reading the holy Quran she found answers to all her questions.

According to her she recited 'kalima' silently for three years and used to pray secretly. But it became difficult for her to stay in her house after becoming Muslim. Hence seeing all these problems Khadija left her house on March 20, 2012 leaving a chit stating she is leaving her house for Islam with her own consent.

نکل جاؤکام سے!
 
والاس جونسن نامی ایک امریکی نوجوان نے اپنی زندگی کے حسین ترین ایام ایک ورکشاپ میں لکڑیاں چیرنے میں گزار دیئے۔ اسکی جوانی کی بے محار طاقت پر مشقت اور سخت ترین کام کر کے کچھ زیادہ ہی تسکین پاتی تھی۔ اور آرے پر لکڑیاں چیرتے چیرتےاسکی زندگی کے چالیس سال گزر گئے ۔

یہ مشقت والا کام کرتے ہوئے والاس جونسن ہمیشہ اپنے آپ کو اس آرے کی مشین پر بہت اہم فرد محسوس کرتا تھا کہ ایک دن آرے کے مالک نے اسے بلا کر ایک تشویشناک خبر دیتے ہوئے کہا کہ میں تمہیں ابھی اور اسی وقت کام سے نکال رہا ہوں اور کل سے ادھر مت آنا۔

والاس کیلئے یہ خبر کسی مصیبت سے کم نہ تھی۔ وہ وہاں سے نکل کر خالی الذہن اور پریشان حال سڑکوں پر نکل پڑا۔ دماغ کسی منصوبہ بندی سے خالی اور دل بار بار کچوکے لگاتا ہوا کہ زندگی کے اتنے حسین سال ایسے ضائع ہوگئے؟ پریشانی سے رونا بھی نہیں آ رہا تھا اور دل تھا کہ اس نوکری سے چلنے والی گھر کی روزی روٹی کا سوچ سوچ کر ڈوبا جا رہا تھا۔ اور ایسا ہوتا بھی کیوں ناں؟ اسکی روزی کا اکلوتا دروازہ اس پر بند ہو گیا تھا، زمین اس پر تنگ ہو کر رہ گئی تھی اور آسمان منہ موڑ گیا تھا۔ اُسے ہر سو اندھیرا ہی اندھیرا دکھائی دے رہا تھا۔

جو چیز اُسے سب سے زیادہ پریشان کر رہی تھی کہ وہ کس منہ سے جا کر اپنی بیوی کو بتائے کہ اس کے پاس گھر کے گزارے کیلئے جو نوکری تھی وہ جاتی رہی تھی۔ مگر ناچار شام کو لڑکھڑاتے قدموں کے ساتھ اُسے گھر لوٹناہی پڑا۔

والاس کی بیوی نےوالاس سے بر عکس نوکری چھوٹنے کا صدمہ نہایت تحمل سے سُنا اور والاس جونسن کی حوصلہ افزائی کرتے ہوئے کہا: کیوں ناں ہم اپنے گھر کو رہن کر قرضہ اُٹھائیں اور کوئی تعمیرات کا کام شروع کریں؟
 
اور اُس نے واقعی ایسا ہی کیا، اپنے گھر کو رہن رکھ کر کچھ قرضہ اُٹھایا اور اُس پیسے سے دو چھوٹے گھر بنائے۔ اس پہلے تعمیراتی کام میں اُسکی اپنی محنت اور مشقت زیادہ شامل تھی۔ یہ دو گھر اچھے پیسوں سے بکے تو اُسکا حوصلہ اور بڑھ گیا۔ اور پھر تو چھوٹے گھروں کے پروجیکٹ اُسکی پہچان بن گئے۔ اور اپنی محنت اور قسمت کے بل بوتے پر صرف پانچ سال کے مختصر عرصے میں ہی والاس ایک ایسا مشہور ملیونیر والاس جونسن بن چکا تھا جس نے دنیا کے مشہور ترین ہوٹلوں کے سلسلے ہولیڈے اِن کی بنیاد رکھی۔ اس اسکے بعد تو یہ سلسلہ بڑھتا ہی گیا اور ہولیڈے اِن ہوٹل دُنیا کے کونے کونے میں چھا گئے۔

یہ شخص اپنی ڈائری میں ماضی کی یادوں کو تازہ کرتے ہوئے لکھتا تھا کہ : اگر آج مجھے یہ معلوم ہو جائے کہ اُس آرا ورکشاپ کا مالک، جس نے نے مجھے کام سے نکالا تھا، کہاں رہتا ہے تو میں جا کر اُسکا اپنے دل کی گہرائیوں سے شکریہ ادا کروں۔ کیونکہ اُس نے میرے لیئے ایسی صورتحال پیدا کر کے بظاہر تو ایسی دردناک کیفیت پیدا کر دی تھی جس نے میرے ہوش و حواس ہی چھین لیئے تھے، مگر آج میں نے یہ جانا ہے کہ اگر اللہ نے مجھ پر ایک دروازہ بند کیا تھا تو اُسکے بدلے ایک نیا راستہ بھی تو کھول دیا تھا جو کہ میرے اور میرے خاندان کیلئے زیادہ بہتر ثابت ہوا۔

پیارے دوست؛ جب کبھی بھی کسی ناکامی کا سامنا ہو جائے تو اُسے اپنا اختتام نا سمجھ لو۔ بس ذرا ہمت اور حوصلے کے ساتھ زندگی کی عطا کردہ دوسری خوبیوں کے ساتھ سوچو اور ایک نئی ابتدا کرلو۔

جب ہمارے اختیار میں ہو کہ ہم اس سے بہتر کچھ کر سکتے ہوں تو پھرزندگی کا اختتام اس طرح روتے اور منہ بسورتے تو ہرگز نہیں ہونا چاہیئے۔
اللہ تبارک و تعالیٰ کا ارشاد مبارک ہے:

مگر عجب نہیں کہ ایک چیز تم کو بری لگے اور وہ تمہارے حق میں بھلی ہو اور عجب نہیں کہ ایک چیز تم کو بھلی لگے اور وہ تمہارے لئے مضر ہو۔ اور ان باتوں کو خدا ہی بہتر جانتا ہے اور تم نہیں جانتے۔ (سورۃ البقرہ –آیۃ 216(
