Our Dichotomies

Khan Ubaid Ul Islam,

In a state of absolute zero degree of IMAAN, I try to figure out how, when and why are we trying to act like the preachers and the teachers of the good… I am personally a victim of the same sort of mental illusions which makes us feel as if we are the “no wrong doers” and we expect the best of the rewards from ALLAH (S.W.T). Well as matter of sincerity I feel that we must get it, if not the highest but definitely not the lowest either, because we have bled, we are bleeding and will continue to bleed till the days of tyranny end. I have always been hearing this thing right from my childhood that there are mainly three degrees of IMAAN, the highest, the intermediate and the lowest one, and we are at the number three position because our IMAAN is of the level that we can just show or have hatred against the wrong. Wait a moment…, are we actually among the number three people? Well I think no, because I don’t have positive thought about the fact that we abstain ourselves from doing wrong of any kind throughout our lives, but…. Whoa!!! Let’s make a pause and think, why our blood just starts to boil when we hear about any kind of miscreant act against our Deen and we run for the revenge without even caring about our lives waiting for the bullet to hit us, for the pellet to make us blind, and for the tear gas canister to kill us or leave us half dead. Bravo! To such a magnificent sentiment. May ALLAH (S.W.T) accept our sacrifices? In such situations every single person from our occupied piece of land is a patriot, but where does the patriotism vanish away when this fateful phase passes away, why does the AZAADI vaporize away from our blood during the normal days of our lives, why doesn’t our heart cry for the SHAHADAH? Why don’t we recite the SHAHADAH to the highest pitch! According to my ignorant opinion we have got some serious kind of neurological disorder and that’s the reason why we get such kind of earthshaking jolts like the one that happened recently in Gool, Ramban. Our conscious has become kind of dead. Just the way a doctor hits the tendons of a patient to check the reflex stimuli with a reflex hammer, same way ALLAH (S.W.T) hits us with a hammer of HIS own to rejuvenate our reflexes. To rise our consciousness to a higher level. And yes, we must get such kind of trembling jolts every time, so that our soul does not die, but unfortunately our level of IMAAN has gone to such a lower level that we need a bigger and more effective jolt to make us alive, because we are the dead slaves and most of us even don’t even know that we are an enslaved nation and we are being butchered like cattle everywhere, every time. Though we cry out to the sky heights at that time but it’s always just a matter of few days that we forget about these incidents like we have been doing throughout the whole of our past, we forgot about it within no time when a whole of our village (KUNAN POSHPORA) was raped and brutalized, we forgot when two of our sisters (NEELOFAR & AASIYA) were made victims of tyranny and their chastity torn into pieces, we forgot when our school going children were beaten to death, when our fathers, our mothers, our brothers and our sisters were made drink the cup of hemlock. As I already mentioned that we have some serious kind of mental disorder, I don’t know whether it is dementia or any other sort of disorder or a combination of multiple disorders but I am damn sure that we don’t have living soul, we don’t have a crying heart, all we have is a very talented and artistic kind of brain which we use without knowing about its proper usage.  We are enslaved and will remain enslaved because we always forget about our past, our existence, we always forget about what has been done to our folk and our land by the occupants and the tyrants. We are oppressed and should remain oppressed till the time every single person of this land remembers what we are, who we are, and why we are. Because if the tyrant stops oppressing us but doesn’t stop its occupation on our land we’ll for sure forget that we are an enslaved nation. May ALLAH (S.W.T) raise our consciousness, our level of IMAAN and show us the day when we’ll be celebrating a religious, social, economic, cultural, geographical, biological, diplomatic and natural kind of freedom. May the days of tyranny end soon, may we breathe FREEDOM! May we live longer, and live as MEN but not as any objects of oppression and tyranny! AAMEEN!!!
