Universal Anthems. Aadil Farook
Читать онлайн книгу.
other doesn't know what's virtue or vice
Both are guilty of false diagnosis
Both are unable to end the crisis
Zionist enemies exploit this scenario ruthlessly
Waiting for Mahdi or Jesus won't set us free
O' ummah, what has made you so impotent?
That you are treated like an unwanted servant
Why do you seek sympathy for your defeat?
Rather than standing up on your own feet
God doesn't change the condition of a nation
Until it changes its inner disposition
If Christianity is love, Islam is power
Why then are you a crushed flower?
When will you rise above differences within?
And consider every Muslim as your kin?
Neither be a Sunni nor a Shia
But be a genuine seeker of Allah
Even giants like Iqbal couldn't wake you from your slumber
How many Aadils are needed to show you the bigger picture?
If you wish to fix the world, embrace Muhammad's legacy
Strive for the fusion of genius and inner purity
Only Islam offers both spirituality and system of governance
Which complement all dimensions of human existence
Remember change is only a possibility
If passion and vision are in unity!
The Unanswered Question
Since the very dawn of mankind
it has baffled many a great mind
Why would God allow so much suffering?
The worldly show, is He really running?
The dynamics seem to contradict His attribute
and still we have to pay to Him tribute
A gem cannot be polished without friction
Man cannot be perfected without tribulation
There's a reason why saints of every era
have found this life to be an enigma
On one hand, they are the ones most loved by Him
Yet, in a sea of affliction, they have to swim
Trials are proportional to man's status
Our true worth, they unveil to us
Only prophets are free from the need of purification
Their tests are nothing but for us a demonstration
They teach us what is gratitude and patience
Why humans are the best of all creations
But what is manifested when man is spiritually ill?
Evil and injustice are the outcomes of free will
Or he would've been a mere puppet in God's hand
and his aspirations would be like castles of sand
But much deeper than that is the real mystery
if known, we won't challenge divine authority
What is the philosophy of our existence?
It is love God wants us to experience
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
