“The life of this world is nothing but a mere child’s play (“Khel Tamasha”)”.
My father died----khel tamasha
I lost my job------khel tamasha
My child died------khel tamasha
My wife died-------khel tamasha
My children are crying with hunger-----khel tamasha
I am looted--------khel tamasha
My business trembled------khel tamasha
I lost my respect------------khel tamasha
I lost my lands--------------khel tamasha
If I am trapped in anyone of the described problems and someone mocks at my by saying that it is a “khel tamasha”; I will surely not like his behavior.
Isn’t God a bit cruel to label all these troubles as “khel tamasha”?….because being human beings, these things are the worst situations for us.
So, is God cruel?
He Himself says that He is the most Merciful.
So is He a liar?
If the answer to both the above questions is “No”, then the only questions remain are, “do we really understand and implement what is meant by this verse of Quran?” and “do we really believe whatever is written in Quran, or are we in doubts?”

What Should I Compare To?
The front tyre of my car punctured. I took it to the nearest mechanic. He fixed the tyre and again filled it with air. On my way back, I realized that my relation with my God is just as the relation of the car tyre with the road surface.
Whenever the tyre punctures, it flattens, and its contact surface area with the earth increases. When it is again filled with air, the contact area again reduces, but the connection between tyre surface and the surface of earth never discontinues. As it is mentioned in Quran,
(Ch:10, V:12) When trouble toucheth a man, He crieth unto Us (in all postures)- lying down on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have solved his trouble, he passeth on his way as if he had never cried to Us for a trouble that touched him! thus do the deeds of transgressors seem fair in their eyes!
Whenever I am in pain and trouble its just like the tyre is deflate. The more I am in pain, the more I increase my contact with God, just like the punctured tyre.

From where "They" get this!
It is a very common misunderstanding in the non-Muslim society that, “Islam is spread with sword”. I wonder, how come they get this idea. One possibility is that they might have read history and the only reason came to their minds for the immense population of Muslims, is that it may be spread forcefully. It may also be only one of their justifications to favor their own religion. But the alarming thing (and the reason for writing this message) is something shameful. They got this idea from the behavior of us Muslims. It is the most shameful fact.
Look around us, all of us, is there any supremacy of Allah? Our shame cells have ceased their growth. Do we feel shame of anything? Just keep on discussing and pointing others mistakes, as we are perfect in our ownselves. We are giving such impression to the non-Muslims as if we are fed up with Islam and we are just obeying it under certain pressures.
Don’t agree with me??? Look at the young Muslim males standing flawless to stare passing by ladies and listening to vulgar songs and dancing and enjoying life blindly. Still don’t agree??? Look at the young Muslim ladies fighting so hard to get rid of veil, giving so many justifications, burning their blood and time to be free of this obligation. Haven’t we read the following order of Allah…,
24:30 Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
24:31 And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands……”, So, do you still dare to agree me not?
And then crying for “Toheen-e-Rasalut”. What a pity!
