Aqal-o-Dil-o-Nigah Ishq

Nigah Buland, Sukhan Dil Nawaz, Jaan Pursouz
Yehi Hai Rakht-e-Safar Mir-e-Karwan Ke Liye

High ambition, winsome speech, a passionate soul
This is all the luggage for a leader of the Caravan.
Aqal-o-Dil-o-Nigah Ka Murshid-e-Awaleen Hai Ishq
Ishq Na Ho Tou Sharaa-o-Deen, Bott Khudda'ay Tasawwarat

Intellect, heart and vision, all must take their first lessons from Love
Religion and the religious law breed idols of illusion if there is no Love.
Utha Main Madrasa-o-Khanqah Se Ghamnaak
Na Zindagi, Na Mohabbat, Na Maarifat, Na Nigah!

Monasteries and schools left me sad and dejected,
No life and no love; no vision and no knowledge.

Nigah-e-Shauq Mayassr Nahin Agar Tujh Ko
Tera Wujood Hai Qalb-o-Nazar Ki Ruswai

If fervent glance and vision keen You have not met or ever seen;
Your being is a source of shame on heart, and sight can bring a blame.
Jalwatiyan-e-Madrasah Kour Nigah-o-Murda Zauq
Khalwatiyan May Kuda Kam Talab-o-Tahi Kadu

The disciples in the schools are insipid and purblind;
The esoteric of the monastery have low aims with empty bowls;
Gala To Ghoont Diya Ahl-e-Madrasa Ne Tera
Kahan Se Aye Sada ‘LA ILAHA ILLALLAH’

The school-men have strangled your nascent soul,
And stifled the voice of passionate faith in you.

One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims

One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims Imam Jafar Sadiq (A.S) said, "One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims. If one of these rights is not honored, then a person might be excluded from the roster of Allah's friends.  1) The smallest right of a Muslim over his compatriots is that whatever one wishes for himself, he should wish the same for his brethren. Similarly, whatever he dislikes happening to him, he should want not to happen to his brothers in Islam. 2) The second right is: that a Muslim should avoid displeasing another Muslim.  3) The Third right consists in that a Muslim should help another both physically and monetarily to the extent possible.  4) The fourth right of a Muslim is that he must guide other Muslims to the best of his abilities.  5) The fifth right is that if a Muslim is hungry, the other should share his food with him.  6) The sixth right is that if one has a servant and the other doesn't, then the servant should be sent to t...

Imam Hassan Askari AS, Gurg Aashti, Poisoned Society

Imam al-`Aaskari (AS), in his description of evil scholars, said, 'They cause more harm to the weak ones from among our shi`aa than the army of Yazid did to Husayn b. Ali (AS) and his companions, for they snatched away (grab, seize, steal) their lives and their property, whereas these evil scholars … enter doubt and obscurity (ambiguity) into the weak ones from among our shi`aa and lead them astray (wandering).' http://islamicblessings.com/upload/Meezan%20ul%20Hikmah%20-English.pdf Gurg Aashti - Brotherhood of the Wolf https://ub4yourself.blogspot.com/2021/11/qasim-ali-shah-foundation-is-character.html Poisoned Society https://ub4yourself.blogspot.com/2022/10/poisoned-society.html

Speech is better than Silence

When Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin (as) was asked which one was better: speech or silence, he answered:  "Both speech and silence have their harmful aspects. If both are free from harm, then speech is more excellent than silence”. It was said: “How is that, O son of the Messenger of Allah”? Imam as-Sajjad (as) answered: "Because Allah did not send His Prophets and (their) trustees with silence, but sent them with speech. Paradise is not deserved through silence, nor is God’s guardianship merited through silence, nor is the Fire guarded against through silence. All this is possible only through speech. I do not place the sun on a level equal to the moon. You describe the excellence of silence through speech; you do not describe the excellence of speech through silence."
