Analyze
what we did in 2015. Cherish the good moments, contributions, achievements and
successes. Learn from the losses suffered, reasons and factors of failures and
mistakes committed in order to avoid and not repeat them. This is how we can
make the lives of all peaceful and beautiful. This is how we can make the world
a safer place.
Fighting,
arguments, jealousy, enmity and competition are all part of human nature. They
will continue as usual because of good and bad natures of people. The important
question is how we can avoid them? The solution is with positive attitude and constructive
approach. We can only truly love and respect each other if we learn to sensibly
understand and practically tolerate each other.
Vested
interests, mindset and nature are the three factors responsible for
competitions, differences, clashes and cruelties. Those who are bad in nature
and doing harmful acts deliberately must be confronted and tackled accordingly
because they belong to the army of evil, are friends of the Satan and devils
and sworn enemies of mankind. Their intentions and actions are always to cause
death and destruction.
We must practically help all people, communities, governments and countries in exposing, fighting and punishing the rotten eggs of the society and system, criminals and terrorist. This can only happen if we keep a watchful eye and monitor the community members--To help and support the good ones and expose and punish the bad ones.
Everything we do must be meaningful. Do celebrate but don’t simply waste time, money and energy on celebrations because there are thousands who cannot even afford to eat, dress and live properly. We must make sure that the tears falling from their eyes are of joy and happiness and not of sorrow and sadness. The poor too are human beings and tests and trials for us otherwise the whole world would have been the same---rich or poor and bad or good.
AVOID ARGUMENTS: God’s (Allah) divine and clear message is for all believers including Christians, Muslims and Jews to understand and implement. Muslims particularly must remain very alert and sensible as the sworn enemies of mankind are targeting them to harm and destroy them. Even God (Allah) has advised them to avoid people who are a nuisance and engage in nonsense discussions. .

Even God (Allah) has advised them to avoid people who are a nuisance and engage in nonsense discussions. .
We
must always disliked and avoid people senselessly arguing, debating and
criticizing each other and their faiths and religions. Through divine messages,
I came to know that as a Muslim we have been taught to remain on the right
path, honest and peaceful, show great patience and demonstrate great love and
respect for humanity.
All
believers including Muslims should avoid unnecessary arguments about God (Allah)
because of the following clear messages and commands of God (Allah):
In
Surah # 1 Al-Fateha: “Praise be to
Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds (2) Most Gracious, Most
Merciful (3) Master of the, Day of Judgment.”
In
Surah # 109 Al-Kafiroon: “Say: O ye that reject Faith! (1) I worship not that
which ye worship, (2) Nor will ye worship that which I worship. (3) And I will
not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, (4) Nor will ye worship
that which I worship. (5) To you be your Way, and to me mine. (6).”
In
Surah # 112 Al-Ikhlas: “Say: He is Allah the One and Only; (1) Allah, the
Eternal, Absolute; (2) He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; (3) And there is
none like unto Him. (4).”
In
the light of the above, it is the duty and responsibility of all believers
including Muslims to simply propagate and demonstrate with understanding, love,
respect and good character and leave the rest on God only Who can give proper
guidance. We have no power or authority to give such guidance. God dislikes
hypocrisy and has promised severe punishment for hypocrites. We need to
understand and differentiate between the good and bad people. Hypocrites only
love their vested interests and damn care about all other things. They can
never become friends or be trusted. Make
a pledge for 2016 that as believers and good human beings, we will keep trying
to follow what God (Allah) has taught and commanded.
COMMENTS/REPLY:
Below are the comments received from Shahid Hashmi on my above article and my
reply to him:
Javed Zaheer: "Thanks for the valuable suggestions, comments
and your personal views and opinions. I always welcome and appreciate such
responses to the extent that they do not interfere in my personal and
professional lives and working. Before
God I am helpless and act as a robot as He wants me to do things but when it
comes to the world then I cannot act as a robot because God has given me such
soul, mind, nature and character.
I do realize whatever you pointed out
regarding mixing of issues and proper highlighting of specific and titled
issues. Whatever I feel right and I need to be corrected I do it without wasting
time. I will keep both your suggestions and my vision as well in my mind and
writing. I am a student of international
relations and affairs and keep an eye on the world policies and developments in
my own way.
The concept of one world, one economy,
one religion, one society and one system is being promoted and implemented
after the World. Islam and Muslims are being targeted because of being
considered hurdles in implementation of the policies. Nothing is new or
debatable a lot has been published about this from both sides and angles.
Thanks again for your suggestions,
comments, views and opinions, which have practically helped you tremendously in
your success and achievements and making your life and world beautiful. Similarly, i too cherish my thoughts and work
and enjoy the beauty of my life, world and work.
It is good to have company of
like-minded people of different mindsets, which varies with nature, habits and
characters. It is not only difficult but
dangerous and not advisable at all to
interact or work with people with sick mindset. Such company can definitely
corrupt the minds of even the good and best people. This is why it is important to have a good
company and society. I very much respect you and your goodness. "
Dr Shahid Hashmi: " Sir I respect you from bottom of my heart.
Thank you for listening you're the best.
I'm always impressed with those people who practice their religion in
their practical life and they don't show their double standard and do not take
advantage because of the religion. It's never impressed me by
reading articles all of us should read Quran with understanding ensure that in
our practice and become a real good human being
I can only learn from their practical with their true practice. As long
as they're not being fanatic and giving
a bad name to any religion
“Your article as usual is very good it
is my humble request that don't mix religious writing with the events I
understand you are working on a mission but that should kept separate your
readers will enjoy more you should be caring for both audience some prefer
religious writing some will skip. If you have to publish together then write
the interesting event first then you may have more readers for example in this
article celebration portion is totally buried some people may not even go that
far. This is my opinion only you know better."
