(20)

HISTORY:

You are surrounded by DASTAN (stories) every day. From the stories portrayed in painting or in news on television, radio, and in the newspaper, business success or failure, stressful life, social issues, religious books, lessons at school or sung in a song, Pictures, Movies, Comedians making up their routines in story, to the bedtime stories told to young children read out by mothers; as

long as there have been people, there have been stories. Some Dastan’s have lasted hundreds and even thousands of years and are still being told. Dastan began with the oral tradition, meaning they were passed on by being heard and retold. Later, people began to write the Dastan down, but we still love to hear Dastan (stories) told out loud. They can teach morals, values, history. They can entertain us. They can make us think about things in ways we’ve never thought of them before. They can make us laugh. They can make us cry. DASTAN Goi is a large part of what makes people connected to each other. DESCRIPTION:

‼️This case needs URGENT attention ‼️

Dure Liaquat Ali Khan shares serious health concern of her husband i.e. Akber Liaquat Ali Khan (son of late Quaid e Millat Liaquat Ali Khan)
Couple needs support, prayers and Relief from Govt. of Pakistan.

Although it has been asked directly from her if "we" as people of Pakistan would extend help but being an upright woman she refused.

So let's raise our voice and make sure they get the help/relief from govt.
Please share as much as you guys can and tag relevant authorities.

JazakAllah Khair.

I found this really heart touching.

How surah duha can change our lives:

Surah duha was revealed when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was depressed due to no revelation for 6 months.
This surah has power to relieve depression and sadness and find peace and hope.

Ayah by ayah it says..

Wad duhaa— By the morning brightness

This is the first thing you need to hear when you’re depressed: Wake up, look at the sunshine! Everything in life is not doom and gloom– you just have to look up!

Wal laili iza sajaa— And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,

Why is this aayah immediately talking about darkness? As a reminder to us that the night is meant to cover and give us comfort and rest.

Generally when we’re depressed, we tend to get into a very bad sleep pattern by staying up at night and sleeping all day, thereby worsening our state of mind. This aayah reminds us to use the night as a comfort to ease our distress.

Ma wad da’aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa— Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].

This is a very powerful verse from Allah telling us that He doesn’t hate us and hasn’t forgotten us– reminding the depressed person that He is always by his or her side!

Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola— And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

Many times when we’re depressed we think: Is this all my life is going to be? Is it never going to get better?

This aayah serves as a perfect answer to those questions, reminding us that life in this world is temporary and that Aakhira is certainly a better, more permanent place for us than this world could ever be.

This makes us look forward to attaining our place in Jannah and helps us look at any problems in our lives as temporary tests of our faith from Allah.

Wa la sawfa y’uteeka rabbuka fatarda— And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.

A promise from Allah that very soon he will give us a massive reward (Jannah) and we will be happy! Subhanallah!

Isn’t this the best thing to hear when you’re depressed and fed up with this worldly life and the problems you’re facing?

Alam ya jidka yateeman fa aawaa – Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?

From this verse onwards, Allah gives us reason to believe His declarations and promises in the first half of the surah.

Now many of us may think: how would this aayah about orphans relate to the majority of us? Think about it– weren’t there many times in your life when you were sick or lonely and felt like you had nobody who cared about you? Who was the only one by your side at that time? Allah! It was He who took care of you and guided you out of that stage in life.

Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada— And He found you lost and guided [you].

How many of us, despite being born Muslims, have found ourselves misguided and straying away from Islam in the past? It was Allah who gave us that hidaya and brought us back to the straight path and to Him and made us practicing Muslims. Alhamdulillah!

Wa wa jadaka ‘aa-ilan fa aghnaa— And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.

Many of us have probably gone through many periods in our lives when we have been short of money and wealth. Now when we look back we realize that it was only Allah who gave us that rizq in some form and got us through those tough financial times.

When a person is depressed, giving him or her examples of how Allah has helped them in the past will strengthen their conviction and belief in the promises Allah makes in this surah for their future.

Fa am mal yateema fala taqhar — So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].

This aayah is the ultimate antidote to depression!

Depressed people are mostly consumed with their situation and feel that nobody could possibly be in a worse situation.

This aayah reminds us to look at people who are in far worse situations than ourselves when we’re feeling hopeless and depressed— Look at the orphans, who have no family or loved ones and nobody to care for them. We have families and parents who love us, a roof over our heads and food on the table and we still think we’re in a bad situation? Subhanallah!

Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar— And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].

Another example is of the beggar – to once again remind us of the many material blessings that Allah has given us that we take for granted – food, clothing and shelter. How many of us have ever gone to sleep hungry? How many of us don’t have clothes to wear? Or don’t have a home to go to?

These examples of the orphan and the beggar are ones we should constantly remind ourselves of to be thankful for the numerous blessings Allah has given us, get over our depression and feel connected to Allah again, out of gratitude.

Wa amma bi ne’mati rabbika fahad dith – But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].

This final aayah is about maintaining that renewed faith and bond with Allah – by pondering, glorifying and talking about the blessings of Allah! Either in terms of halaqas, discussions with family and friends or even da’wah! Dhikr, reading quran and listening to lectures are also great ways to keep the remembrance of Allah close to your heart!

Beautiful and a very strong message - As a family we should start owning our kids regardless of gender ! If you gave birth to one then why disown them? Is this there fault , and how is it there fault anyway? were you not the one's who gave birth at first place??

Accept they are born within normal families but disowned and degraded by own parents for nothing ! Embrace what Allah has blessed you with, as he is the one who knows better !!

Sahir Ludhianvi wrote this poem, 'Ae Shareef Insanon', after the 1965 war. Let's never forget these words:

khoon apna ho ya paraya ho,
nasl-e-adam ka khoon hai aakhir;

jang mashriq mein ho ya maghrib mein,
aman-e-alam ka khoon hai aakhir.

jang to khud hi ek maslaa hai,
jang kyaa maslon ka hal degi;

aag aur khoon aaj bakhshegi,
bhookh aur ehtiyaaj kal degi.

bartaree ke saboot ki khatir,
khoon bahana hi kya zaroori hai?

ghar ki tareeqiyan mitane ko,
ghar jalana hi kya zaroori hai?

bum gharon par giren ke sarhad par,
rooh-e-taameer zakhm khati hai;

khet apne jalein ke auron ke,
zeest faaqon mein tilmilati hai.

tank aage badhe ke peeche hate,
kokh dharti ki baanjh hoti hai;

fateh ka jashn ho ke haar ka soug,
zindagi maiyaton pe roti hai.

isliye ae shareef insanon,
jang taltee rahe to behtar hai;

aap aur ham sabhi ke aangan mein,
shama jalti rahe to behtar hai.

Guys, I have been reading a lot of nonsense comments (by Indians and Pakistani's), memes and posts ...

For those asking for WAR please take a reality check as full scale war between two nuclear nations will not be a picnic or scene from movie.

Still wanna get some fun enjoy ruins from syria and other countries who have suffered wars, it may help soothe your desires and love for adventures 🤞🙏

It's better to live in peace then to rest in peace.
Stay strong and safe 🤲
