WHO ARE CRUEL, LOSER & UNGRATEFUL?



WHO ARE CRUEL, LOSER & UNGRATEFUL?
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER
Visit www.javedzaheernews. blogspot.com for more exclusive articles
            TORONTO:  We think we are perfect, great, sensible, genius, generous, honest, peacemakers and powerful. Believe it or not but most of us are cruel, loser and ungrateful. Yes, we commit cruelties on ourselves first and then others by deliberately committing acts not liked and prohibited by our Creator.
            We emerge losers by deliberately ignoring the divine message and not following the right path shown to us. We remain ungrateful by not honestly and sincerely thanking The Creator for the blessings He showers on us in various forms and ways.      
            In the families, community and society, most people keep fighting like street dogs and feel proud in bullying and insulting others. Because hatred breeds hatred, this way we keep hurting and harming others. We become the slave of our desires and demands and enemy of each other. This is what we do and achieve. This is what I keep witnessing now and then.
            Mentally sick and extremely cunning people considering themselves something big and great are making others sick and crazy.  Most of them start thinking and acting like god, prophets, messengers and saints and want the people to hear, follow and worship them. They start dictating and playing with innocent and helpless people. Those refusing face the brunt in the shape of emotional and physical hurt, serious harm, painful death and massive destruction.
            The intoxication of wealth, power and position makes them cruel and the cruelties turn them into ferocious beasts and then they become the worst enemies of mankind. They turn the world into hell and make the lives of innocent and helpless people miserable.
            They become so powerful and destructive that The Creator’s intervention is necessitated and The Wrath of God is unleashed on them in various shapes and forms. We are ungrateful because we keep forgetting the blessings showered on us in the shape of help, support and protection and The Wrath of God on the enemies.
            We have been given freedom within limits and supremacy but are completely dependent on The Creator---The Almighty God---Instead of understanding this we start misusing the freedom and supremacy and ultimately earn punishment, destruction and hell.
            In order to protect ourselves, others, the world, we must benefit from the tremendous blessings in the shape of powerful divine messages in the original holy books. Fortunately, The Almighty God has shown us the way to salvation. Only we need to understand and follow it.    
            There are many surahs (chapters) and verses in the holy Koran related to the issues and topics of cruel, loser and ungrateful. I will mention only some, although all are important. The significance of these verses is that they contain prayers of the prominent prophets from which we too can benefit immensely.
            As regards divine guidance, conversions, life and death, these are purely spiritual matters directly commanded by The Almighty God. Although people keep trying, boast and claim success in this connection but in reality they, human beings, have nothing to do with it.  
            Al-Fatiha (Surah/Chapter 1. Verse 1-7): In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful (1) Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, (2) The Beneficent, the Merciful. (3) Owner of the Day of Judgment, (4) Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help. (5) Show us the straight path, (6) The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. (7)    
            Al-Anbiya (Surah/Chapter 21. Verse 87-88): And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no God save Thee. Be Thou glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer. (87) Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus we save believers. (88)
            Al-Araf (Surah/Chapter 7. Verse 23-26): They said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely we are of the lost! (23) He said: Go down (from hence), one of you a foe unto the other. There will be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a while. (24) He said: There shall ye live, and there shall ye die, and thence shall ye be brought forth. (25) O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they may remember (26).  
            Al-E-Imran (Surah/Chapter 3. Verse 146-148): And with how many a prophet have there been a number of devoted men who fought (beside him). They quailed not for aught that befell them in the way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor were they brought low. Allah loveth the steadfast. (146) Their cry was only that they said: Our Lord! forgive us for our sins and wasted efforts, make our foothold sure, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk. (147) So Allah gave them the reward of the world and the good reward of the Hereafter. Allah loveth those whose deeds are good. (148).
Al-Qasas (Surah/Chapter 28. Verse 23-24): And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man. (23) So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me. (24).
Al-Qamar (Surah/Chapter 54. Verse 9-12): The folk of Noah denied before them, yea, they denied Our slave and said: A madman; and he was repulsed. (9) So he cried unto his Lord, saying: I am vanquished, so give help. (10) Then opened We the gates of heaven with pouring water (11) And caused the earth to gush forth springs, so that the waters met for a predestined purpose. (12).
Al-Maeda (Surah/Chapter 5. Verse 113-115): (They said:) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses. (113) Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers. (114) Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieveth of you afterward, him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I have not punished any of (My) creatures. (115).
Yusuf (Surah/Chapter 12. Verse 100-101): And he placed his parents on the dais and they fell down before him prostrate, and he said: O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream of old. My Lord hath made it true, and He hath shown me kindness, since He took me out of the prison and hath brought you from the desert after Satan had made strife between me and my brethren. Lo! my Lord is tender unto whom He will. He is the Knower, the Wise. (100) O my Lord! Thou hast given me (something) of sovereignty and hast taught me (something) of the interpretation of events - Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protecting Friend in the world and the Hereafter. Make me to die submissive (unto Thee), and join me to the righteous. (101).
Al-Tawba (Surah/Chapter 9. Verse 128-129: There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves, unto whom aught that ye are overburdened is grievous, full of concern for you, for the believers full of pity, merciful. (128) Now, if they turn away (O Muhammad) say: Allah sufficeth me. There is no God save Him. In Him have I put my trust, and He is Lord of the Tremendous Throne. (129).
Al-Anbiya (Surah/Chapter 21. Verse 79-83): And We made Solomon to understand (the case); and unto each of them We gave judgment and knowledge. And we subdued the hills and the birds to hymn (His) praise along with David. We were the doers (thereof). (79) And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail) to protect you in your daring. Are ye then thankful? (80) And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by His command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are aware. (81) And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were warders unto them. (82) And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy. (83).
Al-Baqara (Surah/Chapter 2. Verse 285-286): The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction between any of His messengers - and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. (285) Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk. (286).
Al-Mumenoon (Surah/Chapter 23. Verse 111-118): Lo! I have rewarded them this day forasmuch as they were steadfast and they verily are the triumphant. (111) He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by years? (112) They will say: We tarried but a day or part of a day. Ask of those who keep count! (113) He will say: Ye tarried but a little if ye only knew. (114) Deemed ye then that We had created you for naught, and that ye would not be returned unto Us? (115) Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no God save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace. (116) He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will not be successful. (117) And (O Muhammad) say: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for Thou art Best of all who show mercy. (118).    
Al-Furqan (Surah/Chapter 25. Verse 71-77): And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance - (71) And those who will not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity. (72) And those who, when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat. (73) And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil). (74) They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace, (75) Abiding there for ever. Happy is it as abode and station! (76) Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): My Lord would not concern Himself with you but for your prayer. But now ye have denied (the Truth), therefor there will be judgment. (77).
Ta-Ha (Surah/Chapter 20. Verse 24-27): Go thou unto Pharaoh! Lo! he hath transgressed (the bounds). (24) (Moses) said: My Lord! relieve my mind (25) And ease my task for me; (26) And loose a knot from my tongue, (27) That they may understand my saying. (28) Appoint for me a henchman from my folk, (29) Aaron, my brother. (30) Confirm my strength with him (31) And let him share my task, (32) That we may glorify Thee much (33) And much remember Thee. (34) Lo! Thou art ever Seeing us. (35) He said: Thou art granted thy request, O Moses. (36) And indeed, another time, already We have shown thee favour, (37).
Al-Isra or Bani Israel (Surah/Chapter 17. Verse 23-24): Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word. (23) And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little. (24).
In the above surah/chapter Al-Isra, the importance given to parents is highlighted. So all those involved in serving seniors and elders in various ways and through various programs must promote this divine message. This will create awareness and understanding and significantly help in reducing parents, seniors and elderly abuse and promote the message of love and care.

JAVED ZAHEER'S SPEECH AT SENIORS CLUB EVENT



Seniors Club meeting at the Youth Centre of TNO, Thorncliffe Park,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on September 15, 2013.               
SPEECH OF JAVED ZAHEER
            Respected Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario and MPP of Don Valley West, Councillor John Parker, all distinguished guests and near and dear ones. Your presence on this occasion is an honour for all of us and shows your keen interest in the community and Thorncliffe Park area, one of the most   important localities of Canada boasting of one of the most vibrant, highly skilled and educated community.
          I came to Canada in 1999 and am really honoured to be a part of this community, society, system, loving and caring Canadian people and the wonderful country Canada. Since day one I was welcomed by all those I met and enjoyed and availing the best facilities. I joined the journalism profession in 1973, since then served the people as a professional journalist back home and even now serving the people since 1999 as a journalist.
          I belong to the people and like and love to work with people who work, live and die for the people. My vision and goal is to serve humanity in reality and am dedicated to serve and create awareness.
           With all this in view I keep meeting, connecting and supporting all those good people, leaders, groups and organizations.  The Seniors Club was formed last year and I became a part of this Club so that we can set a good example of live and work together. It is a good place of rest and recreation and to bring both individuals and families closer and knitted. We thank TNO’s Executive Director Jehad Aliweiwi, Director Ahmed Hussain, TNO team and all those groups and individuals who keep encouraging and supporting us.
          The Seniors Club keeps holding social and cultural get-togethers, participated and attended by many people, who fully enjoy the delicious home-made food, dance, music, songs, jokes, table tennis, carom, exercises, etc. This is the lighter part and we hope to do more so that we could contribute in ensuring better life to each and every member. Without team work, team leadership, collaboration, cooperation, sponsors, funds and support by all community members and all those who matter this is not possible.
          Not only the Seniors Club, supported by the TNO, I am also associated with many leading and important national and international organizations and groups playing important roles and contributing tremendously like National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada (NEPMCC). I am the life director of this organization and through this organization was awarded the Free Expression Award in 2006. I am the only Pakistani to win this award.  I am veteran active member of Toronto Press Club and remained editors of some Canadian newspapers including Dawn, Ambassador and Pakistan Abroad.
          I am also the director of Canpak Chamber of Commerce, Children Dignity Foundation (CDF), which is helping tremendously in promoting education in Pakistan and plans to do programs in Canada as well. Recently, I became the director information of Pak Senior Forum (PSF), a new group formed by Syed Muhammad Iqbal to serve all people and communities particularly Pakistanis.
          I also met Hafiz Khan of Association of Thorncliffe Professionals and attended a meeting of ATP. I found him a really good and capable leader.
          Each day we keep meeting new people, new groups and new friends. With new partners, members and sponsors our circle is expanding greatly and becoming stronger and effective to serve the people, communities and country.
          TNO is playing an important and key role in the Thorncliffe locality. According to Jehad Aliweiwi:  “TNO is very proud to work with the Pakistani community as it is proud to work with all other groups that makes this fabulous neighbourhood.”
          I recently attended the TNO’s Annual General Body meeting and was impressed by the presentations on tremendous performance and success of TNO under Jehad’s dynamic leadership and the TNO team.  Indeed, TNO is a learning and excellence centre in a sense that it covers variety of issues of community's interest and priority. It has gained international recognition and visits by foreign dignitaries and delegations as well.
         I thank Jehad for assuring support to me and the groups I represent including Seniors Club and Pak Seniors Form (PSF). We hope that the partnership with TNO would greatly benefit the Thorncliffe community in general and other communities of GTA as well, which are eager to learn and benefit from TNO’s tremendous contributions. We assure our support for improvement of the society and betterment of the communities. This way we can work, serve and live together in the best possible ways. We again thank you for extending us support. For all these successes and achievements I thank Canada’s people, leaders, communities and governments for the love, care, encouragement, help and support extended.
          We are proud to have a good leader like Kathleen Wynne, who has won the hearts of members of the community and people of Ontario by remaining very close to them, listening to them and becoming a part of their family. She knows the people, their problems and priorities and deserves to be a premier.
          We expect that John Carmichael, MP, too would join the cabinet ranks and be in a position to serve the people and area better. He is in a good position to serve the people better and we hope that he would keep proving this by remaining visible, connected and very close to the people.
          For betterment and improvement of Thorncliffe area and for solving  problem of the people, we expect and need more from Councillor John Parker. We are witnessing some improvements but people are faced with many problems and they need his attention. John Parker too is trying to do his best to serve the people better.
          Whether Kathleen Wynne, John Carmichael or John Parker or any other leaders, like always I would strongly urge the people and appeal to all to choose, vote and elect only those people and leaders who believe in serving the people and humanity in reality. This is our moral duty and responsibility. By electing wrong people we not only harm ourselves but the whole society, system and the country. This we must always remember.
          I would like to end here by thanking all the participants for making this occasion really successful by their interest and presence. We hope to see your increased interest and support for this community. All the groups, organizations and members of the community must work together as partners and team leaders. We need this spirit badly. We have the potential to produce good and true leaders for all levels---Federal, Provincial and Municipal--- but unfortunately we easily become victims of divide and rule and because of some exploiters and opportunists lose the golden opportunities.         Thank you for tolerating my long speech.
