Khudi - The spiritual sword of a Momin

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page

There was a time when the world witnessed the rise of Islam in all walks of life, on all grounds of earth. Muslims were the masters in all fields of science, technology, mathematics. The mathematical, scientific studies that we study today by the names of non-Muslim authors were the possessions of our glorious ancestors. It was the golden period of Islam when every ordinary Muslim, may he be a clergyman or the Sultan, had a "Kutab Khana'' at his dwelling place. While simultaneously such darkness was prevalent in the entire Europe that they used leaves of the trees to cover their bodies. Without any exaggeration it was the stone age for them.

 گنوادی ھم نے جو اسلاف سے میراث پائ تھی
ثریا سے زمیں پر آسماں نے ھم کو دے مارا

Why were our ancestor Muslims at the peak at that time, while we have disinherited all their glorious values today? The Muslims who used to make the mainstream follow, are now them self their followers! The Muslims who used to be the paradigm of moral values are today found immoral. The Muslims who never admired the false prestige of others, are now found their slaves.

تجھے آبا سے اپنے کوئ نسبت ہو نہیں سکتی
کہ تو گفتار، وہ کردار، تو ثابت وہ سیارا

WHY? What are those factors which made us fall from the peak to the nadir? The sole reason of their deprivation is that, they have miscarried their "Khudi"' . We are right in saying that this is the core reason of Muslim downfall that they did not respect the covenant with the Prophet (saw). They did not act what Prophet s.a.w. desired and worshiped the idols of their own views. In precise, they lost their spiritual value, they lost their "Khudi''.

کبھی اے نوجوان۔ مسلم تدبّر بھی کیا تونے
وہ کیا گردوں تھا تو جسکا ہے اک ٹوٹا ہوا تارا

''Khudi'' to which Baba Iqbal defined fascinatingly for the first time as "Philosophy of self''. The inseparable soul, the anatomy of a spiritual man. The mystical force which distinguishes a believer from a non believer. The driving force of a Momin. It is the factor that makes an ordinary man, a Mard-e-Momin. It is this very concept which when awakened in someone, not only does it revolutionize the person but through this it provides the human society with the true essence and meaning of existence. It serves as the beacon of light for all times. Baba Iqbal comprehended well that Allah created man and blessed him with ''Khudi'' so that he is suitable of being His vicegerent. Ibn-e-Adam attained the status of Ashraful-makhluqaat leaving behind Allah's most obedient creation, Angels on the basis of his ''Khudi''. Allah has sent Prophets and Messengers to guard and remind human about ''Khudi'', his dignity, his Self realization, his Self respect. 


The form of existence is an effect of the self,
Whatso- ever thou seest is a secret of Self,
When the Self awoke to consciousness,
It revealed the universe of thought.

The very ''Khudi'' gave birth to the characters like Tariq Bin Ziyad, Mohammed Bin Qasim, Nur-ud-din Zangi, Sultan Tipu and many more heroic characters by which the glorious History of Muslims has been written. But the very moment, the Muslims began to lose the true essence of their ''Khudi''. They lost their dignity, their honour, their grace. They eventually became disgraced, depraved. They lost their ''Khudi'', they lost them self, they lost everything! As ''Khudi'' disappeared from the spirit of a Muslim, Mothers abandoned giving birth to sons like Tariq, Tipu, Fateh, Qasim, Badar!

ترا اندیشہ افلاکی نھیں ہے
تری پرواز لولاکی نھیں ہے
یہ مانا  اصل شاہینی ہے تری
تری آنکھوں میں بے باکی نہیں ھے

Lack of ''Khudi'' gave rise to the traitors, hypocrites and disgraced characters like Abu Abdullah, Meer Jafar, Meer Sadiq and many more due to whose deceitfulness, intrigues, immorality, illegitimacy and hypocrisy Muslims witnessed the most unfortunate demise of Khilafat-e-Usmania in 1922, downfall of Mughal Empire in Asia. Grenada, Constantinople, Cordoba, Andalusia, thus each and every ground which had been the vicinity of Islamic sovereign state was relinquished just because of a few depraved characters who miscarried their ''Khudi''. Mistakes are committed in moments, Nations are punished in ages.
The Islamic Nation is about to rise again. That is it's divine, sacred destiny. For that we have to follow the path of Prophet Ibrahim A.S, we should break the idols so that Islam can be freed from the evil clutches of Satan and travel to the divine destiny.

We have to reinstate the power of Khudi which had been a shield of our glorious ancestors through which the entire world was on knees before them, admitting the superiority and divinity of Allah's chosen religion Islam. Iqbal said: come out from the monastery and follow the path of Shabbir (a) For monastery only yields the sorrow and sadness You reflect monasticism in religion and life This is the last stage of perishing nations .
خودی کے زور سے دنیا پہ چھا جا
مقامِ رنگ و بُو کا راز پا جا
برنگِ بحر ساحل آشنا رہ
کفِ ساحل سے دامن کھینچتا جا
