which is impossible without pain's occurrence
just like darkness is to light's prevalence
If no grief be there on a planet like this
who would be inspired by heaven's bliss
Monotony is the other name for extinction and death
Change is the constant since time's first breath
God is extremely proud of His state of infallibility
So He confines this trait only for His own majesty
Human knowledge is of a very fragmentary nature
We will understand only on meeting our Creator!
The Great Misconception
Have you ever wondered why the modern man
is in such a conflict with the Divine plan?
Because he sees everything with the wrong lens
His distance from the truth is thus immense
He thinks every talent, skill or ability
is to earn nothing but personal glory
When he has quenched this desire of caprice
he feels it's the ultimate level of bliss
He calls it self-actualization
I label it self-destruction
No one is born with any faculty
that is a hindrance towards reality
How can God make someone into an actor or a dancer
when His teachings are to ensure none is a sinner
A single verse of the Quran, can you quote?
or from the prophet's life, any anecdote?
which tells us that instead of piety
we should only strive for competency
The entire concept of religion
is under a spell of delusion
It is falsely said, "if you've got it, flaunt it"
God granted woman beauty but ordered to conceal it
So tough is the path of humility
to not seek any worldly nobility
Spiritual masters aren't fools
to break contemporary rules
They always stress on the lower-self's annihilation
Because in God's eyes, worth has a unique criterion
This isn't another philosophical contradiction
This is what I call as the great misconception!
A Small Dialogue with the West
They say that Islam was spread solely by the sword
I say it upheld equality among the family of God
They say that in warfare, Holy Prophet himself took part
I say self-defense was the motive right from the start
They say that terrorism is the consequence of only Islam
I say even during battles, Quran shuns bringing undue harm
They say that Pakistan is the home of every extremist
I say your vision is unclear due to rumor's mist
They say that to technology, this Ummah has no contribution
I say Science is an outcome of the old Islamic civilization
They say why don't Muslim countries embrace Western democracy?
I say Quran claims we'll be misled by following the majority
They say, "male chauvinism defines the social setup of your religion"
I say no other society in history has granted more rights to women
They say why didn't Islam immediately abolish the norm of slavery
I say it's wisdom to tear off bad habits slowly gradually
They say that Islam opts for conflict over harmony
I say why did its founder sign hudaibya treaty?
They say what are the practical steps for achieving peaceful co-existence?
I say spirituality, economic justice and political control in sequence
They say how can we make this world a better place?
I say apply Muhammad's method in time and space!
Democracy or Islam?
So often we hear from the tongue of the pseudo intellectual
that this Ummah needs democracy to rise from its upheaval
The so-called learned do not realize the contradiction
that lies between Islam and democratic dispensation
In the very definition of democracy
is the negation of God's sovereignty
Of all things, man becomes the measure
of right and wrong, he is the author
for its operation, skepticism is inevitable
to any transgression, it can grant approval
Be it homosexuality or prostitution
No guidance from divine revelation
The Quran claims that majority on earth follow mere conjecture
If you abide by their opinion, you'll be the eventual loser
Without spirituality, Nafs dictates the mind of a human
There is no guarantee of truth in such a situation
According to great scholars, ijtihad is not an open mandate
Everyone doesn't have the right to it in an Islamic state
Shariah
