BRING PEACE & HAPPINESS IN
HOMES
& LIVES OF PEOPLE
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION
AWARD WINNER
TORONTO: People keep asking me curiously as to why I
chose the motto ‘Serve Humanity In Reality’ and how I am serving humanity.
Today I will explain as to what made me change my motto from `Dedicated To
Serve, Create Awareness’ to a better and the best one: `Serve Humanity In
Reality’ (SHIR). In short, SHIR taught me to think and act positively, live and
work freely and nicely and worship and serve truly.
Indeed,
the revolutionary and inspirational change was a tremendous blessing of God and
if understood and implemented properly would greatly benefit and amazingly change
lives. The change is inspirational because it improved and totally changed my
life, thinking, approach, vision and mission and would definitely help change
the lives of others.
SPIRIT:
It is the spirit of the motto which brings the great change in lives: To become
and remain normal, sensible, responsible and practical. What makes the spirit extremely
powerful is its nature of spirituality and humanity combination. This power
helps make us good human being.
The credit for the change goes to My Lord and
Creator---the one and only God (Allah The Almighty)---who always showed love
and showered His great blessings on me despite my big, small and grave sins and
mistakes committed mostly deliberately under the influence of evil temptations and
also unknowingly.
Do
we all really worship and obey God and serve humanity in reality? The answer is
NO. The factual position is that over 98 percent of the people in the world
claim to like and love God but are not faithful and loyal to Him in reality and
I am one of them. This is the truth. Still God loves us, keeps forgiving us and
giving us innumerable chances to regret and reform and showers His tremendous
blessings on us. This is His greatness.
MY LORD:
It was My Lord who chose me for the writing job and blessed me with pen power
and such nature, conscience and parents who trained and made me to think,
become and always TRY to remain positive, nice, good and responsible.
Now
I am over 62 years of age and during all these years the combination of
trio---nature, conscience and parents--and their qualities, influence, impact
and impression guided and helped me to remain positive and have the vision to serve
humanity.
Evil
temptations do keep disturbing, distracting and challenging me every second. It
is definitely not easy as it seems to `Serve Humanity In Reality’.
My
both mottos were powered by The Divine Blessing and made me a part of The
Divine Mission. People cannot imagine and I cannot explain in words the
satisfaction I get from my work and results.
My
nature, conscience and The Divine Blessings helped me form the policy---Always
try never to harm or hurt anyone. Although there are tough challenges, difficult
times and extremely painful moments in following this policy but thanks to God and
help and support of good people and friends I never stopped following.
CANADA:
I
migrated to Canada in April, 1999. It was in Canada that the transformation
from the previous motto to the present motto `Serve Humanity In Reality’ (SHIR)
took place. Canada provided me everything best including opportunities to live freely,
serve and pray. People are very nice, loving and caring. I visit Sunnybrook
Health Sciences three times a week for dialysis. The staff and doctors there
are like fairies and angels. Not only here but at most places I get best
attention and quality of services. They are serving humanity in reality.
Instead
of engaging in pointless, senseless and useless arguments, debates and
discussions with mentally sick persons and wasting precious time of all, I
always felt the need to properly prepare myself for positive replies to the
various queries and points raised. This way I made friends and we learnt a lot.
QURAN:
The
need to prepare myself turned me towards the Holy Quran. I began to study and
seek guidance from the Holy Quran to properly understand and balance the
religious-political-social relationship.
The
study of Quran revealed to me the extremely important relationship between
spirituality and humanity. The divine messages and mission of God’s all
original holy books and scrolls including Quran, Bible and Torah pointed
towards one common thing for us to do as our duty and responsibility and that
is to understand and practically implement the Divine Message and command: `Serve
Humanity In Reality’(SHIR) and worship only God. All those claiming themselves
as champions of humanity must understand this.
I
came to understand the fact that only through the motto `Serve Humanity In
Reality’ (SHIR) we can ensure and practically bring into the homes and lives of
people true happiness and peace and protect them from all kinds of Shar (Evil).
Only SHIR can effectively protect people from Shirk (Worship of other than God).
It is a protective shield against all Shar (Evil).
Only
through proper understanding and implementation of the motto `Serve Humanity In
Reality’ (SHIR) we can achieve the following:
1) We
can understand and reform ourselves and others and properly perform our duties
and responsibilities as a good human being and follower and believer of God.
2) We
can recognize and choose good people for true leadership and right path for
positive results and success including real democracy, stability, progress and
prosperity.
3) We
can truly unite to protect and serve all people and practically and effectively
fight all evils including temptations.
4) We
can build a good family, community, society, system and country and learn to
live and work together and love and respect all.
GOD’S MESSAGE:
So the motto `Serve Humanity In Reality’ and its spirit is the God’s most
important message for human beings to understand and follow. Because of its
spirituality and humanity nature and combination it is connected and related to
all fields including politics, religion, daily life, work and worship. Its
beauty is that it keeps you connected with people, politics and religion. This
is why I chose SHIR as my motto. It has given me great satisfaction and
respect.
SHIR TEAM:
My SHIR Team includes team leaders are experienced, respectable and recognized
personalities, who believe in serving humanity in reality and try their best to
do the best possible in building bridges and helping people.
The
SHIR Team includes Shahid Hashmi, Chairman, Canpak Chamber of Commerce, Syed
Muhammad Iqbal, President of Pak Seniors Forum (PSF), Hameeduddin Ahmed, former
editor & publisher of Urdu newspaper `AWAZ’, Hashim, a professional
personality, and many other like-minded persons. We may be many but in reality
are one because of the common cause, understanding, vision and contribution.
POLITICS: Coming to politics, the motto
SHIR helps us to understand the difference between democracy and demoncracy. In
democracy, people enjoy real rights and freedom and happily live and work
together.
In
demoncracy, people are cunningly preyed and trapped in the web called groups
and parties, cruelly treated and mercilessly used and abused. Only the vested
interests of the parties and their lobbies are served. People are made helpless
and treated as slaves.
Most
of the leaders and parties play the Blame Game and keep confusing the people.
The issues are used as baits to attract and trap people. Before election, every
leader talks, acts and looks a prophet but once elected most of them show their
true colour and start playing with people. This is how it keeps happening. This
is why we need to help and support the innocent and helpless people.
In
all elections including municipal, provincial and federal, people must choose
and elect those who not only promise but can practically help bring real
happiness and peace in the homes and lives of all people by improving the
quality of life and removing poverty, stress, tension and disappointment through
good policies and positive changes.
There
is no dearth of good people but we have to find, support and promote them. Never
become a prey and get trapped by hypocrites and exploiters. They will definitely
create mess and make lives miserable.
