Khana Khanay Se Pehle Haath Dhona Tamam Nabiyoun Ki Sunnat

CHINESE ACCEPTS ISLAM

A Muslim scholar (sheikh) was on a visit to China to give a series of lectures to the local Muslim community. One day, he was scheduled to give a lecture at a local hall and was about to take a taxi along with his companions to that location.

They got into the taxi and the Sheikh asked about the length of time it would take to get to the lecture hall. The taxi driver, through the interpreter, answered "Two hours."

The Sheikh immediately turned to his companions and said: "well, we can't sit in this taxi with the driver for two hours and not tell him about our religion. If we did that then we would be no different than any other non-Muslim or kaffir who uses this taxi. We are the people that Allah (SWT) chose to carry His message and honoured us to be Muslims. It is our duty to tell this person about Islam."

However, the driver was a native Chinese and didn't have a common language with the Sheikh. They had to communicate through an interpreter.

Sheikh to interpreter: "Ask the man if he believes in any religion?"

Driver: "No, I don't believe in religion. I just get up in the morning, go to work and earn money. At the end of the day, I collect my money, go buy some food and drink for my family. What do I need religion for?"

Sheikh: "Ask this man if he has ever heard anything about Islam."

Driver: "Not much. I've seen a tape once and showed Muslims as violent people. I don't know much else."

Sheikh: "Ask him about computers. What does he think of computer?"

Driver: "I think the computer is an excellent invention. It is very useful and very sophisticated."

Sheikh: "Does he think that the computer could have invented itself or does he think that a human being invented it?"

Driver: "A human invented it, of course. It is not capable of inventing itself."

Sheikh: "Which one is more complicated the computer or the human being?"

Driver: "The human being is more complicated, of course."

Sheikh: "O.K., if the computer must have been invented by a human being, then it follows that a human being (which is more complicated) must also have a creator."

Driver: "O.K."

Sheikh: "In Islam, we believe that Allah is the creator of human beings and all other beings. Fine, now let's move on. Assume that you have never seen a computer before and never heard of it. If I brought a computer to you and gave it to you. Would you know what to do with it? Would you be able to use to its full potential?"

Driver: "No, I wouldn't."

Sheikh: "Now, if I gave you a catalogue for the computer, then you will be able to better use it? Correct?"

Driver: "Correct!"

Sheikh: "In Islam, we view Quran as the catalogue used by human beings to manage their lives. Without this catalogue, they will ruin themselves! Now, if this inventor of the computer assembled the machine and printed the catalogue, what would be the next step? He would need to train some engineers and others on how to spread the message about this machine. These people would, in turn, train others and others until everyone knows about the machine. In the example of Allah and Quran, the prophets of Allah play the role of the engineers. They learn the message and teach it to others so that the message will spread. Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the final messanger of Allah and he was ordered to take the message to all human beings."

By this time, the trip was coming to an end and they almost reached the lecture hall. But the Sheikh can see that there were tears coming out of the driver's eyes. The words of the Sheikh was having a significant effect on this driver.

Driver: "These ideas are very interesting to me. Do you mind spending 15 more minutes with me to tell me about this religion?"

The Sheikh agreed to spend those few minutes with this person and did. The man asked many questions and seemed genuine in his desire to learn more about this religion. At the end of these few minutes, the driver said: "I want to join this religion of yours. How do I do that?"

He was told that all he needs to do is say: "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad (saw) is his servant and messenger."

Jaga Jee Laganay Ki Duniya Nahi Hai with Lyrics

Bashkle rang-o-gul aur haqeeqat mein khar hai duniya

Aik pal mein idher se hai udher char din ki bahar hai duniya

Zindagi naam rakh deya kisne 

Maut ka intezar hai duniya

Verse 1:

Anokhi waza hai sare zamane se nirale hain,

Yeh aashiq kaunsi basti ke Ya Rab (SWT) Rehne Wale Hain.

انوکھی وضع سارے زمانے سے نرالے ہیں

یہ عاشق کونسی بستی کے یا رب، رہنے والے ہیں

Strange is the nutrition, (they are) apart from the whole world

These lovers, O Lord, to which town do they belong…

Verse 2:

Jahan mein hain ibrat kay har so namunay,

Maghar tujh ko undha kiya rang-o-buu nay,

Kabhi ghor say bhi yeh dekha hai tunay?

Jo aabad thay woh mahal abb hain sunay.

جہاں میں ہیں عبرت کے ہر سُو نمونے

مگر تجھ کو اندھا کیا رنگ و بُو نے

کبھی غور سے بھی دیکھا ہے تو نے

جو معمور تھے وہ محل اب ہیں سُونے

Many examples are there of taking heed in the world

But the sight and sound has made you blind..

Have you ever pondered on this aspect?

The castles which were once liven in are now deserted

Verse 3:

Jaga Jee Lagaanay Ki Dunya Nahi Hai,

Yeh ibrat ki jah hai tamasha nahi hai.

جگہ جی لگانے کی دنیا نہیں ہے

یہ عبرت کی جا ہے تماشہ نہیں ہے

World is not a place of heartly affiliations

This is a place of heed, it is not a jest…

Verse 4:

Mile khaak main ahl-e-shaan kaise kaise,

Makeen ho gaye la makaan kesay kesay,

Hue name-war pe nishaan kaise kaise,

Zamin khagayi nojwaan kaisay kaisay.

ملے خاک میں اہلِ شاں کیسے کیسے

مکیں ہو گٔیٔے لا مکاں کیسے کیسے

ھؤے ناموَر بے نشاں کیسے کیسے

زمیں کھا گٔیٔ نوجواں کیسے کیسے

Many people of status have now mixed with earth

Many with homes are now homeless

Many people of big name have become nameless

Many types of people have been engulfed by earth

Verse 5:

Ajal nay na kisra hi choda na dara,

Issi say Sikander safate behara(pe hara),

Har ek leke kya kya na hasrat sidhara,

Pada rehgaya sab yunhi thaat sara.

اجل نے نہ کسریٰ ہی چھوڑا نہ دارا

اسی پہ سکندر فاتح بھی ہارا

ہر ایک چھوڑ کے کیا حسرت سدھارا

پڑا رہ گیا سب یہیں کھاٹ سارا

Time did not leave Kisraa to be!

To this same “time” Alexander got defeated

Every one left behind their wishes and left

All that will be left here (in this world)

Verse 6:

Tujhay pehlay bachpan mein barsoon khilaya,

Jawani nay phir tujhko majnu banaya,

Burhapay nay phir aakay kia kia sitaya,

Ajal tera kerday gi bilkul sifaya.

تجھے پہلے بچپن میں برسوں کھلایا

جوانی میں پھر تجھ کو مجنوں بنایا

بڑھاپے نے پھر آ کے کیا کیا ستایا

اجل تیرا کر دے گی بالکل صفایا

First it made you play in the childhood

In the youth it made you a lover

Old age then troubled you so much

“Time” will clear you completely

Verse 7:

Yehi tujhko dhun hai rahoon sab say bala,

Ho zeenat nirali ho fashion nirala,

Jiya karta hai kia yoonhi mernay wala?

Tujay husnay zahir nay dhokay main dala.

یہی تجھ کو دھُن ہے رہُوں سب سے بالا

ہو زینت نرالی ہو فیشن نرالا

جیا کرتا ہے کیا یونہی مرنے والا؟

تجھے حسنِ ظاہر نے دھوکے میں ڈالا

You are over concerned that you stay above all

That you have definitive beauty and a definitive fashion

Is this the way anyone lives who (knows) he will die?

You got deceived with the apparent beauty

Verse 8:

Woh hau aish-o-eishrat ka koi mahal bhi?

Jahan taak mein har ghari ho ajal bhi,

Bus ab apnay is jehal say tu nikal bhi,

Yeh tarzay maeshat ab apna badal bhi.

وُہ ہے عیش و عشرت کا کؤی محل بھی؟

جہاں ساتھ میں کھڑی ہو اجل بھی

بس اب اس جہالت سے تُو نکل بھی

یہ طرزِ معیشت اب اپنا بدل بھی

Is that castle of lofty life even a castle

When there is “Time” standing next to it

Enough now! Come out of this ignorance

And change this way of earning of yours

Verse 9:

Yeh duniya-e-fani hai mehboob tujhko,

Hui wah kya cheez marghub tujhkom,

Nahin aqal itni bhi majzoob tujhko,

Samajh lena ab chahiye khoob tujhko.

یہ دنیأے فانی ہے محبوب تجھ کو

ہؤی واہ کیا چیز مرغوب تجھ کو

نہی عقل اتنی بھی مجزوب تجھ کو

سمجھ لینا چاہیے اب خوب تجھ کو

This finite world is beloved to you

Its amazing what (thing) has become your (means of) pleasure

Do you, O drowned one (in its endeavors) not have intelligence?

You should have understood it by now!

Verse 10:

Burr`hapay say paa kar payam-e-qaza bhi,

Na chaunka na cheeta na samnbhla zara bhi,

Koi teri ghaflat ki hai inteha bhi,

Junoon chor kar apnay hoshon main aa bhi.

بڑھاپے میں پا کے پیامِ قضا بھی

نہ چونکا نہ چیتا نہ سمبھلا ذرا بھی

کؤی تیری غفلت کی ہے انتہا بھی؟

جنون چھوڑ کر اپنے ہوش آ بھی

In the old age, even after realizing your destiny

You didn’t jolted, neither corrected your ways

Is there a limit to your ignorance..?

Leave this obsession and become aware!

Verse 11:

Jab is bazm say chal diye dost aksar,

Aur uthtay chalay ja rahay hain baraabar,

Har waqt paish-e-nazar hai yeh manzar,

Yahan par tera dil behelta hai kionkar.

جب اِس بزم سے دوست چل دیے اکثر

اور اُٹھے چلے جا رہے ہیں برابر

ہر وقت پیشِ نظر ہے یہ منظر

یہاں پر تِرا دل بہلتا ہے کیونکر

When all the friends have departed from this world

And continuously they are leaving still,

The view is in front of you as always..

Then (knowing all that) why does your heart is satisfied with it?

Verse 12:

Jahan main kahin shor-e-maatam bapa hai,

Kahin fikr-o-faqah say aah-o-baqa hai,

Kahin shikwa`jor-o-makr-o-dawa hai,

Gharz har taraf say yehi bas sada hai.

جہاں میں کہیں شورِ ماتم بپا ہے

کہیں فِکر و فاقہ سے آہ و بکا ہے

کہیں شکوہ جور و مکر و دغا ہے

ہر ہر طرف سے بس یہی صدا ہے

There are screams and cries all around the world

Some cry out of destituteness and some of hunger

Some complain of deceipt and fraud

From all corners, thus is all the calling…

Verse 13:

Jaga Ji Lagaanay Ki Dunya Nahi Hai,

Yeh ibrat ki jah hai tamasha nahi hai.

جگہ جی لگانے کی دنیا نہیں ہے

یہ عبرت کی جا ہے تماشہ نہیں ہے

World is not a place of heartly affiliations

This is a place of heed, it is not a jest…
