IBADAT

HUBBUL WATAN MINAL EEMAN: BANDE KI APNE MULK SE MOHABBAT USKE EEMAN KA HISSA HOTI HAI..❤❤

IBADAT KI KHUBSOORATI BHI KAABIL-E-TAAREEF HAI..❤

Ki kahin Gurudware ka langar do jahaanon mein sabse lajawaab khaana ban jaata hai…

Toh kahin mandir ki ghantiyon mein bhi koi geet sunayi de jaata hai..

Kahin tapti garmi mein koi,bina khaaye,bina peeye, 30 roze rakh jaata hai…

Aur koi meelon door paidal chalke apne Rabb ko dhoondhne nikal jaata hai…

Rabb ke liye yeh mohabbat toh dekho…

Ki banda din-raat sajdon mein jhuk jaata hai…

Kya aisi mohabbat kisi ke dil ki Nafrat ban sakti hai??

Kya aisi mohabbat kisi ke liye haram ho sakti hai??

Kahin log HUBBUL WATAN MINAL EEMAN ke naare lagate hain..

Phir kuch log unhein hi deshdrohi batate hain..

Ibadat ki khoobsurati bhi KAABIL-E-TAAREEF hai..

Ki iss sab ko dekhne ke baad logon ke zehen mein takleef hai…

Toh aao iss takleef ko aur badhate hain..

Aur Chalo…ekk khoobsurat bharat banate hain.❤❤

Dear Mom..💞💞

Dear Mom, I love you❤

Because you’ve always been there for my rescue.

what I feel for you,can never be explained in words,

Because it can neither be seen, nor be heard..

Your love has been the purest of all..

Your care and support has never let me fall..

You were the one who brought me to this world..

And also the one who never hurled..

Oh! When I think about the pain you bore..

To help me speak and walk on the floor…

And about the never ending nights, when you’ve been awake…

worrying about me, and for my sake..

when you sacrificed your ambitions, for my need…

Without any complaints, without any greed..

Tears start running down my eyes…

When I think of my mistakes and all my lies..

I don’t know why am I that thankless..

After all that you’ve done and what you do regardless..

What was the time, and what was the date..

When God wrote your name in my fate..

My heaven resides under your feet..

It glorifies itself whenever you breathe..

Even the moon has scars but you don’t…

Even my shadow would leave, but you won’t..

Dear Mom, I love you❤

Because you’ve always been there for my rescue..😇

HIND DI CHAADAR – A SAGA OF SACRIFICE🙏🙏

“Give up your head, but forsake not those whom you have undertaken to protect. Sacrifice your life, but relinquish not your faith”

Sat Sri Akal Everyone! (A sikh way of greeting)

In a world full of people who keep on fighting because of their beliefs..Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, the 9th Guru of Sikhs sacrificed his life for someone else’s faith…

In the year 1675, India was in a miserable state…People didn’t have the freedom to practise their faith. Aurangzeb, the last Mughal Emperor forced Non-Muslims to accept Islam.People were either given an option to accept Islam, or to surrender themselves to death.

Aurangzeb knew that if he would be successful in converting the Kashmiri Hindu pandits, automatically, every Hindu would accept Islam.Frightened by the terror of the Emperor, Kashmiri pandits went to Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to seek help.Guru Maharaj was very disturbed to hear their condition,and therefore, one of his sons, Sri Gobind Rai, suggested him to go for help.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji then decided that, accompanied by his most trusted Sikhs including Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayal Das, he would face Aurangzeb and declared that, if he could convert them, then the Hindus would agree to do the same without resistance.

Aurangzeb,as a result, tortured Guru Sahib.All the three sikhs who accompanied Guru Maharaj were tortured and killed in front of him.Bhai Dayal Das was placed in boiling water, Bhai Mati Das was slaughtered and Bhai Sati Das was wrapped in cotton and burnt alive.

He asked Guru Sahib to either accept Islam or show any miracle or accept Death .Without any fear, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji accepted death, and was beheaded in Chandni Chowk, Delhi.

Here, we may take into consideration that Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji was not against any faith, that is the reason he sacrificed his life to protect the beliefs of someone who belonged to some other religion.He wanted the freedom to practise religion for all those who were forced to give up their beliefs..or rather for everyone without caring about the fact whether he/she belonged to Sikhism, Hinduism or Islam.

Since then,the brave soul is known as HIND DI CHAADAR (The protecting sheet of Hinduism).

May all of us live in the constant gratitude of his Sacrifice.

Remembering Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji on his Martyrdom Day..🙇

DIWALI, LOVE AND TOGETHERNESS…💞💞 #DiwaliSpecial..❤❤

Hey Peeps!!

First of all…HAPPY DIWALI TO EVERY PERSON READING THIS BLOG!!❤❤❤

So….It’s that time of the year again…when the sky is full of rockets and when our hearts are at the peak of excitement..!!.We are surrounded by lights all around…💕💕 And..may be that’s why Sushain and Bhuvi say that “DIWALI IS THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS”

It’s not just about lights or candles or Diyas…It’s about the beliefs and faith as well..Though, the festival actually belongs to Hinduism…But..as we say, that happiness has no Religion…Love has no boundaries…I guess, that’s the reason why it is the most awaited event of the year..💟💟 Because, as Nimisha says, “It is Happiness for someone”

and also, Yukti adds by mentioning that it’s all about ” Never Ending Lights and Love”

The kind of atmosphere we encounter during these days is phenomenal.Though, it’s 2018, but I can really feel the joy and mirth of the homecoming of Lord Ram to Ayodhya..💞..It has never been just a random festival, it is an EMOTION. That’s the reason, Sudiksha quotes that “Diwali…..the festival of lights….
For me, it is not just a festival, but it is an emotion, a day when everyone is happy…. when everyone forget their past differences and come together to celebrate. I like this festival not for the crackers or sweets or lights, but for the happiness it brings around us, for the reasons it provides us with to be with our dear ones and celebrate life.
Happy Diwali 😊”

On this auspicious occasion, one can feel the positivity floating all around..💕💕 Every word we utter is just like a dua ( a wish) which is meant to make someone’s day.. ❤

Dhriti says,

“Diwali for me is wishing that everyone I know should be happy, their wishes should be fulfilled in the light of this festival…
My best experience as on Diwali was late year when I had my dada ji with us n we didn’t burn crackers but we went out n celebrated in a new n different way …. ❤❤”

Indian culture has always been famous for promoting Brotherhood and togetherness..a festival like diwali binds everyone together and of course, how can we forget the huge amount of sweets we get to eat..and also, when everyone visits us and we get to spend a good amount of time with our loved ones and lock all the experiences in our memory book..

The most phenomenal part of the festival is the pooja (worship) which takes place in the evening..when the entire family prays together. Worship has always brought people closer, and when all of us worship together, God, in my opinion, protects us from all the odds in life and fills our hearts with love and affection..💟 The day marks the defeat of all the evils and paves a way for all the blessings..probably, that’s why Akanksha feels that it’s all about “Sweets and laughter I guess? Illuminating surroundings and take a step to kill inner demons, complexes.”

It’s all about Hope for rejuvenating and the extravagant atmosphere that makes Diwali Special for each and every one of us..

Rozal, very beautifully states, it is

“Finding new colours and brightening the dulled life with lots and lots of lights, seeing hope in candles…and bringing sweetness to your memories till next Diwali comes..”

We should realise, that a festival becomes more amazing when we share our mirth with the ones who really need it..You guys must have witnessed a lot of vendors on the street these days who try to sell diyas,idols etc. to arrange enough money to buy happiness for their families..We, as we’ve been blessed with enough resources by God, should buy all the stuff for poojas and celebrations from them, to make it special for them as well..

Some people associate Diwali with bursting crackers…but honestly, I would suggest that it would be better if we could avoid doing that because they can harm the stray animals..As we, the Homo sapiens (human beings), are the most evolved species, we should think about them as well..💓💓

If you’ll ask me, I’ll say that Diwali is when good deeds win over bad deeds,when love becomes more important than anything else in this world..When Lord Ram or Waheguru or Allah, (or whatever we call Him) celebrates with us the integrity of His people..when the magic of lights and candles prevails and marks an end of the darkness…That’s when we celebrate Diwali..🎆🎇

HAPPY DIWALI ONCE AGAIN..💕💕 MAY GODDESS LAKSHMI ENTER INTO YOUR HOMES AND MAY THIS DIWALI YOU KILL ALL THE EVILS IN YOUR HEART…AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH ALL THE POSITIVITY IN LIFE..❤❤

ISLAM: A FAITH OF DISCIPLINE💕💕 #ExploringBeliefs (Part – 2)

BISMILLAH-IR-RAHMAN-IR-RAHEEM. (In the name of God, the most Merciful and Beneficent).This is the opening phrase of almost every sura (chapter) of The Holy Quran, The Islamic scripture, which is considered to be the final and unaltered revelation of the God in Islam.

Islam(peace through submission to God), is the second largest and one of the oldest religions in the world, and a monotheistic faith which teaches its believers that God is One and is Merciful and Unique, He guided the mankind through Prophets,Revealed Scriptures and natural signs.Muslims( the believers of Islam) believe that Prophet Muhammad(Peace Be Upon Him) was the last and the final Prophet of God.Before him,prophets like Adam, Abraham, Mosses and Jesus did the same job.Though, the religion is divided into Two sects,namely Sunni and Shia, but Sunni comprises the most of the muslim population.

One thing which would attract any person to Islam is the way they Pray and Worship Allah (SWT) (God).The kind of discipline they have during the obligatory prayers (5 times a day) is inexplicable.

Five Pillars of Islam:

1.Shahada: A declaration of faith and trust that there is only one God and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger.(it is also the first step to convert to Islam)

2.Salah: Five Obligatory prayers per Day,namely, Fajr( Dawn), Dhuhr(noon), Asr(Afternoon) , Maghrib(evening ) and Isha(night).A ritual purification,called Wudu must be done before every Salah (also known as Namaz).All these prayers are recited while facing towards Kaaba in Mecca.

3. Zakat: It is obligatory for every muslim (who’s able to do so) to give away some fixed part of his/her wealth to charity.The idea behind this practice is that everything belongs to God,and for our growth, it is essential to help our fellow brothers and sisters to overcome their problems.

4.Sawm: Ritual Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan is obligatory for all the muslims (exceptions exist).All the believers have to abstain themselves from drinking, eating and sexual activities from dusk till the dawn.They are also not allowed to use fowl language, indulge into gossips and be violent during these days ( which is otherwise also prohibited in Islam).The idea of fasting is to empathise with the ones who don’t get to have food and water for days and still have to survive anyhow and also to enhance self-control and gratitude towards God.

5.Hajj: Pilgrimage to Mecca is obligatory for every able-bodied and financially stable muslim at least once in their lifetime.

HALAL (permitted) FOOD:

The muslims are only allowed to have Halal food and drinks, which are set according to the standards in Quran and the Hadiths.Halal meat, specifically, according to a research is the healthiest of all and the animal doesn’t bear much pain in the process of slaughtering.

When we talk about Islam, we ought to talk about the most misinterpreted concept of the belief, i.e.JIHAD

The word “Jihad” does not mean a “holy war”. Instead, it means the

struggle that one endures in trying to submit their will to the
will of God, such as the struggles against laziness,
arrogance, or against one’s own ego, etc. The concept emphasises on struggling to become a better muslim and a better Human being.

Common Islamic Phrases include:

• ALLAH HU AKBAR-
  The Arabic expression meaning ‘Allah is the Greatest.’ Also called the takbir
• INSHALLAH-
  The Arabic expression meaning ‘If Allah wills’
• ASSALAMU ALAYKUM:
  ‘Peace be upon you’ the greeting of the muslims.
• KHUDA HAFIZ: ‘May God be your guardian’ (the parting phrase)

Though,some people have misconceptions regarding the status of women in Islam, but the following quotes from the Holy book clear up everything:

….And there are many more…..

We need to understand that an actual believer is someone who follows the scriptures of the faith he/she belongs to..and if one doesn’t do that, he is probably not a believer.And, therefore, to know about a particular faith, we need to peep into its scriptures.

The contribution of Islam as a community is endless in the fields of art, music, and architecture etc. But unfortunately, some people still don’t recognise this fact and most of the Muslims in India as well as around the world have to face discrimination because of their faith..How can a religion like Islam be considered to promote ill – practices like terrorism when Allah Himself in the Holy Quran states that:

“….Whosoever kills an innocent human Being, it shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind” – Quran 5:32

To conclude the post,I would just like to state that the evil lies inside us and our deeds, and it can’t be associated with a particular faith.Every belief emphasises on living a life of peace and brotherhood..and the job of religion and faith is to take us closer to the Almighty God.

A BOND WHICH CHANGED MY LIFE…💕💕

In the journey of our lives,there are an infinite number of people we meet..But there are just a few of them,who make a special place in our hearts..❤

Around two years ago,I encountered the most phenomenal human being in my life.Never had I thought or dreamt of it even in the best of my dreams that I would get so attached to a person living miles away..❤ But as we say, that we should expect the unexpected…Even my destiny agreed to the above statement when I met you SCHWESTER..💕

I don’t know how to express myself or how to tell you what I feel for you..or probably what I’ve felt for you since I’ve met you…I don’t know when did I start considering you as my friend,then,a best friend,and now finally, my SCHWESTER..However, we are miles away,but that has never affected our bond..You’re just like a candle in the dark who leads me to the right path..

Though, we had met through a cultural exchange, but along with our cultures, our souls also got exchanged..I can’t believe that it has been 2 long years since we haven’t met..It feels as if you were always there with me..trust me schwester, there hasn’t been even a single day in these years when I haven’t talked about you…I would never be able to forget those spell-binding days spent with you..

For me, worshipping has always been the most important part of my life,and you gifted me with the most beautiful gift of my life, i.e. Worship.I can’t thank you enough for making the relationship of me and God stronger..❤

You’ve always been the most important part of all my happy moments in these years,and also the most amazing support system and counsellor in all my bad times..

Now, when I look back in time, I realise that it was all pre-planned.God wanted me to meet you and He wanted my soul to get better with your help.

I MISS YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK…😭😭❤❤..Inshallah,We’re going to meet soon..💕

WITH LOADS OF LOVE,

SIKHISM: A FAITH OF WARRIORS😇 #EXPLORINGBELIEFS (PART-I)

ੴ(Ik Onkar).This is what the sikh holy scripture,Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji starts from.It signifies the monotheistic (ideology which states that God is One)nature of Sikhism, the Fifth largest organised religion of the world.People belonging to this religion are referred to as Sikhs,which literally means “a learner”.

Being one of the youngest organised religions,It was established somewhat 500 years ago, and it works on the spiritual teachings of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji(founder) and the 9 Human Gurus who succeeded him.Interestingly,Sri Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture) is considered to be the present and the eternal guru..and is treated with the same respect in the Gurudwaras (sikh temples).

Pic source: google

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a unique scripture as it acknowledges and respects the scriptures of both, Islam and Hinduism, and thereby, promotes secularism.It is a part of the every sikh temple (gurudwara) and the sikhs bow and prostrate in front of it.

The mention of the Golden Temple is important when we talk about Sikhism.The temple has 4 doors,namely, The Door Of Peace, the Door Of Livelihood, the Door of Learning and the Door of Grace. These doors are a symbol that the people of all four castes are equally welcome into the gurudwara sahib.There’s always a light on in a Gurudwara Sahib, to signify that the Guru’s light is ever-present to enlighten the world.

Moreover, all the Sikh temples serve langar(free food) for all, wherein people belonging to different castes, social status,etc. Sit together and have langar together.Fascinatingly, the Golden Temple serves nearly 1 Lakh(100,000) people everyday..and is the largest kitchen of the world.

The contribution of sikhism as a religion is phenomenal.Even if we look at the history, they’ve always been the strongest and the most fearless people.To support this statement, we can take the example of the battle of Chamkaur,which was led under the leadership of Guru Gobind Singh Ji(the 10th Guru) wherein, just 40 sikhs fought with the army of 1 million Mughals. (THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE)..and also,how can this saga of bravery be complete without the mention of the “12 O’Clock” jokes..wherein nowadays,people tease Sikhs of losing their cool at 12o’clock, but little do they know that the sikhs used to save our hindu sisters from the Afghans.and to do that, they used to attack at their camps in the midnight, at 12o’clock.

Also, Guru Ram Das ji,(the third human guru) raised his voice against Sati Pratha (A practice wherein the wives used to be burnt alive with their husbands, if her husband died before her) and denounced it.The Gurus had always ensured the equality of women, there have been many battles where the women fought alongside men and fearlessly faced their enemies.

Further more, Turban is an important part of Sikhism,which represents nobility.It gives every sikh a distinct look,because of which, one can identify a sikh amongst thousands of people.

Pic source: google

PROHIBITIONS IN SIKHISM:

• Cutting Hair
• Intoxication
• Begging
• Following Blind spirituality
• Worthless talks
• Sacrifice of creatures
• Idol worshipping

All in all,Sikhs have been famous for their selfless service towards the society and also in the Indian Army, politics, sports etc.

But, unfortunately,they still have to face discrimination, probably because they look different, or probably because their contributions to the society still remain unrecognised.It’s not about a particular faith,but about humanity, which needs to be considered as the fundamental step-stone of every belief.😊

EXPLORING BELIEFS…😇(Introduction)

HEY PEEPS,

I can’t express how much I’ve been missing my blog..So finally, after ages..I am gonna start with a brand new series of posts called “EXPLORING BELIEFS”..

Beliefs are not something to be fought upon..They are something to be thought upon..💕💕

This world is a home to various views and beliefs..and my curiosity to learn about them has led me to the decision of initiating with this series..

From religions, to science and to various social issues..Our beliefs describe who we are..and how we view this world..They are the soul of our personality..But the same beliefs sometimes lead to fights..wars…and what not??This series is just to get an insight into the beauty of every belief and every view so that we realise the importance of making this world the most phenomenal place to live in..💕💕

This is going to be a weekly series, wherein I’m gonna post new stuff every Friday..So stay tuned guys!!💖(at the end of the series, I am gonna post the best comments posted by you guys)

1984-Time Can’t always heal the pain..😔😔

AWWAL ALLAH NOOR UPAYA….KUDRAT KE SAB BANDE…EKK NOOR SE SAB JAG UPJAYA….KAUN BHALE…KAUN MANDE.

(In the beginning, God created the light..and from that One Light the whole world has been born.So how can some be good and some evil?)

All of us (Indians) speak very proudly about our country and its secularism..We say that it’s the best place to live in for a person belonging to any community or religion..But honestly..we are yet to possess that status of being SECULAR..we are yet to possess HUMANITY AND EMPATHY..

I was forced to think about this fact when I recently got to know what exactly happened in the year 1984..It was probably one of the darkest periods of Indian History…but the sad part is that it’s darkness is still prevailing in the lives of thousands of sikhs who are still hoping to get justice for what happened back then.

Belonging to a sikh family…When I hear the experiences of my entire family during those 4 days after the assassination of our Ex-Prime Minister Mrs.Indira Gandhi…by two of her Sikh bodyguards….it shakes me up from head to toe…the entire Sikh community all around the country had to face something which was really brutal and unexpected..It wasn’t just against the law..but was against humanity as well..Thousands of people were brutally attacked..The entire country was burning..Their houses were set to fire…Females were raped..And what not??

what happened to the men is even more frightening and shaking…Their heads were put between the tyres..and the tyres were set to fire…burning them alive..The turbans (a really important part of sikhism) were lying on the roads full of blood of those innocent people who couldn’t even figure out why was that happening to them..many of them had to cut their hair so as to hide their identity and save their lives… Hundreds of dead bodies were being filled in the trucks and their family members didn’t even know where were they being taken..

When I hear the horrifying experiences of my family during those days…I really get goosebumps all over..They were taken to refugee camps where they had to spend some days till the entire situation cooled down..They didn’t know if they would be killed..or saved…they were way too afraid. At that time, when people didn’t have personal mobiles with them…it was impossible to know about other family members who were apparently out of the house for work..They didn’t know if Their loved ones were DEAD OR ALIVE.Their own country seemed to be behind their lives.

Even after so many years..culprits of 1984 haven’t been punished..Thousands of mothers have still not got justice for what happened to their kids..Thousands of children are still waiting for their fathers to return back to them..Thousands of people are still trying to come out of that trauma.But Time hasn’t healed their Pain yet.😐

But still all the sikh temples serve langar(free food for all)…still..most of the soldiers on the border of our country are sikhs…and still they are the first ones to stand up against the wrong and in case of any mishappening (as in the case of Syria)..I’m not boasting about anything.. I’m just stating the facts…and trying to say that all of us are same and have evolved from the same light and therefore deserve equal respect..💕

AN ACT OF KINDNESS..💕💕

All of us…In one or the other phase of our lives expect a lot of things from the GREAT GIVER..GOD…and of course, most of the times HE doesn’t disappoint us..because HE CARES..But have you ever thought of the consequences if HE would have backed out saying that it’s not HIS job?….It’s NOT HIS JOB to take care of HIS children..because HE is not being benefited by it??…Then…why do we…being his children…back out from humanity??

Imagine someone very close to your heart lying on a hospital bed(I wish it never happens)…fighting for his life..he needs BLOOD….but it’s not availaible, of course, due to lack of donors…FEEL those emotions…try to transport yourself to that miserable…helpless state…when you are not able to do anything for him…
I am sure that your heart will stop beating for those few moments…your world will stop for a while…or may be for forever…
Then THINK about those who lose their loved ones just due to unavailability of blood in Hospitals…
Whenever I ask people to donate blood…they give me hundreds of reasons as to why they can’t donate Blood..BUT honestly…I just have One reason to convince you to donate it…IT can give happiness to YOUR GOD….to the one you worship..to the one who resides in each and every act we perform…

IT’S NOT ABOUT BEING BENEFITED…IT’S ABOUT BENEFITING OTHERS..

I mean for God’s sake try to THINK for at least once that our single act of kindness can save someone’s life…or rather it can make OUR GOD Happy…So…DONATE BLOOD to show that YES..WE CARE..❤❤

DONOT BACK OUT FROM HUMANITY..!!

Even if you can’t donate blood….please encourage people to do so..😊😊

VVDAV PUBLIC SCHOOL VIKASPURI ORGANISES BLOOD DONATION CAMP…The Details are as follows:
