An Introduction to Islam September 29, 2005

“gaya. yeh matlab islam ka nahi hai. islam shuru hota hai khuda ki discovery se. jab koi aadmi sachai ko islam ke roop mein discover karta hai to that is the beginning of islam. dekhiye, quran mein do qism ke expression aaye hain. ek hai: إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِ”

“الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا. aye musalmano! iman lao. iska matlab yeh hai ke musalmanon ko bhi islam ko re-discover karna hai. kuch logon ka islam shuru hoga discovery se, aur kuch logon ka islam shuru hoga re-discovery se. in do ke siwa koi bhi doosri cheez quran mein islam ke bare mein nahi milti hai.”

“quran mein dekhiye, para saat mein kaha gaya hai ke وَإِذَا سَمَوْا مَا أَنْزِلَهَا الْرَّسُولُ تَرَىٰ عَيْنَهُمْ تَفْوِيضَ مُرَدَّمٌ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ. is mein dekhiye, bataya gaya hai ke kuch logon ke bare mein ke unhein islam ka ek experience hua. woh kisi aur mazhab ke mannay walay thay.”

“aan ke mutabiq musalman nahi ho jayenge. matlab woh musalman jis ke liye khuda ne aakhirat mein, maut ke baad wali zindagi mein, paradise rakh diya hai. inhi ke bare mein kaha gaya ke يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُوا. yaani unhein phir se islam ko padhna hoga, phir se islam ki study karni hogi, aur islam ko re-discover karna hoga. ab tak jis cheez ko maa baap ke wirasati mazhab ke taur par”

“faithful bande se. woh banda jis ne sachai ko discover kiya hai, to khuda us se kya chahta hai? to quran mein bataya gaya hai ke وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ. insanon ko paida kiya hai aap ne kis liye? ibadat karne ke liye. khuda ki ibadat karne ke liye. to goya ke jab insan ko islam ke roop mein”

“أَشَدُّ حَبًّا لِلَّهِ. is aadmi ke dil mein sab se zyada mohabbat khuda ki aa jaye. doosra criteria hai وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ. is ke dil mein allah ke siwa kisi aur ka dar na ho. yeh do criteria hain ibadat ke. jab tak yeh dil ke andar yeh کیفیت”

“أَشَدُّ حَبًّا لِلَّهِ. is aadmi ke dil mein sab se zyada mohabbat khuda ki aa jaye. doosra criteria hai وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ. is ke dil mein allah ke siwa kisi aur ka dar na ho. yeh do criteria hain ibadat ke. jab tak yeh dil ke andar yeh کیفیت”

“ibadat hum karte hain to yahi soch kar karte hain, jaisa ke hadith mein bataya mein ne. أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ كَانَّكَ تَرَاءُ. tum ibadat is tarah karo, goya ke tum khuda ko dekh rahe ho. yaani presence of god mein tumhari ibadat ho rahi hai. ibadat simply rituals ka naam nahi hai. ibadat khuda ke presence mein jeene ka naam hai. to jab aap khuda ke presence mein jee rahe”

“hon to woh کیفیت paida honi chahiye jo sach mach khuda ke presence mein jeene wale ki hoti hai. jis ki ek misaal mein ne sher ki shakal mein di. to yeh hai ibadat, jo ke quran mein bataya gaya hai ke kisi insaan ke upar khuda ka jo sab se bara farz hai, woh hai yeh ke woh khuda ki ibadat kare. yaani itna zyada us ko realization ho chuka ho khuda ka”

“quran ka jo para 29 hai, us ke shuru mein yeh ayat hai ke خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا. khuda ne paida ki maut aur hayat, death aur life, kis liye? لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا. taake tumhara test”

“ise banai. Jannat mein kaun jaega? Is ko Quran aur Hadees se pata kijiye. Quran mein hai ke zalika jaza'u man tazakka. Yani jannat ka reward un ko milega jinhon ne apne apni rooh ko purify kiya.”

“to quran ke mutabiq har deen mukammal deen tha. jitne paighambar aaye, us se pehle sab mukammal deen hi lekar aaye. koi paighambar naqis deen lekar nahi aaya. isi liye dekhiye, quran mein hai ke la nufarriqu bayna ahadin minar rusuli ke ek rasool aur doosre rasool, ek paighambar aur doosre paighambar ke darmiyan farq na karo. farq”

“jo pehli speech di, safa ke pahadi par khade ho kar makka walon ke samne, to us pehli speech mein aap ne kaha tha ke jis tarah tum sote ho, usi tarah tum maroge, aur usi tarah tum dobara maut ke baad uthaye jaoge. aur phir aap ne farmaya ke wa i”

“pehli speech di, pehli speech is mein aap ne phir wahi baat kahi ke attaqun-nara wa la bishirki tamrin apne aap ko aag se bachao, chahe khajoor ke ek tukde ke zariye kyun na ho. yani logon ki khidmat karo, logon ko sachai pahunchao, logon ke liye faida bakhsh bano.”

“alhamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin khuda ka shukr hai jo rabb hai sare alam ka. yeh sab se bada positive, sab se bada positive ehsas hai jo aadmi ke andar paida hota hai. kyunke jis duniya mein aap hain, jis hawa mein aap saans lete hain, jis roshni mein aap ko zindagi mili hui hai, sari cheezein jo is universe mein hain, aap ko jis se faida pahunch raha hai, un sab ko pa kar aur un”
