Jo yeh keh rahi hai, ise charity aur sadqa kehte hain, jo Islam ka ek rukn aur important part hai. Isiliye kehte hain ke jab aapko full knowledge ho, toh aap ghalat direction mein aur imbalance mein nahi jaate. Just because kisi very well-renowned person ne kaha hai, isliye blindly follow nahi karna. Even if it's neuroscience or neuroplasticity, I check the facts with Islam, kyun ke woh mera benchmark hai. Baat theek hoti hai, but Islam creates extra balance.
Ise Allah ko center of the universe aur top priority rakhna kehte hain. Jab aap logon ko Allah ke banday samajh kar zakat aur sadqa de kar help karte ho, toh woh aapki intention hoti hai. Everything is a balance. Allah ke concept aur Akhirat ke accountability ke baghair insaan ki goodness aur consequences ki understanding incomplete reh sakti hai.
Hamari sequence ghalat hai. Pehle Allah, phir growth, skills, physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health, discipline, charms. Everything is a skill, and repetition shapes you. Jo repeat karoge, woh bano ge. Jo content consume karoge, usi direction mein grow karoge. Be it music, poetry, or anything else, everything has its place and categories in life.
Rishton mein bhi priorities hoti hain. Family mein parents first, then siblings. If you're married, your partner comes first, then parents and siblings. Adam and Hawa ka rishta duniya ka pehla marital relationship tha, not mother and father. Jab priorities clear hoti hain, toh hum apne faislay bhi behtar karte hain.
Duniya mein har cheez kamiyab balance se hoti hai. Agar hum har waqt doosron ko pehle rakhne lagein, toh people-pleasing mein phans kar khud ko bhool sakte hain. Hazrat Ali se mansub quote hai, “Itne narm na bano ke mor diye jao, aur itne sakht na bano ke tor diye jao.”
Khush-ikhlaq raho, achai karo aur sila Allah se expect karo, kyun ke yeh Allah ke banday hain. Yeh detachment hai. Log aapko izzat dein toh achha, aur na bhi dein toh aapki worth unke behaviour par depend nahi karti, kyun ke aapne apne amal ka sila Allah se maang liya. Jab hum logon se expectations rakhte hain, aksar wahi log disappoint karte hain.
Kindness with boundaries. Agar koi misbehave kare, toh uske baad apni self-respect aur value ko protect karo. Boundaries rakho, lekin ego aur self-respect ko alag samjho. Har baat ego par nahi lete, lekin apni self-respect ko itna sasta bhi nahi karte. Hazrat Ali ke quotes self-respect aur self-worth samajhne mein bohat achhi direction dete hain, even after studying so much.
“He who does not know his own worth is ruined.” — Imam Ali (A.S.)
“Nothing in the world deserves your tears.” — A quote attributed to Imam Ali.
Yeh emotional balance, priorities aur detachment ki baat hai. Apni life ko sawaro, khush-ikhlaq raho, relationships aur skills par kaam karo, lekin yaad rakho ke Akhirat hi tumhari ultimate destination hai.
Ek larki ko uska husband bohat pyar karta tha, lekin ek raat woh apna naya ghar check karne gaya aur chhat se gir kar uski death ho gayi. Zindagi kitni temporary hai. Aur Akhirat ka pehla sawal namaz ke baare mein hoga. Hum duniya ke chhote chhote losses bardasht nahi kar paate, toh Akhirat ke liye apni preparation kaise karein ge?
Duniya fani hai. Apni Akhirat ko is temporary duniya ke liye compromise mat karo.
