zindagi sirf mohabbat nahi kuch aur bhi hai
zulf-o-rukhsaar ki jannat nahi kuch aur bhi hai
bhookh aur pyaas ki maari hui is duniya mai
ishq hi ek haqeeqat nahin kuch aur bhi hai

hum ne jab kiya dard-e-dil ko baya, to sher ban gaye,
logo ne suna wah wah kiya, dard aur badh gaya.
mohobbat ki paak rooh mere shero me hai,
ek likha gam kam karne ke liye to gam aur badh gaya.

bahut tamanna thi, pyar mai aashiyan banane ki,
bana chuke to lag gai nazar zammane ki.
usi ka karz hai, jo aaj hai aankhon mai aansoo,
saza mili hai humai muskurane ki !

pyar kisi se jo karoge ruswai hi milegi
wafa kar lo chahe jitni bewafai hi milegi
jitna marzi kisi ko apana bana lo
jab ankh khulegi ... tanhai hi milegi

vaade bhi dost ne kya khoob nibhaya hai,
zakham muft aur dard tohfa mai bhijvaaye hai,
is se badkar wafadaari ki misaal kya hogi,
maut se pahle hi mere dost Kafan le aaye hai.

raato mai saara jahan sota hai,
lekin kisi ki yaadon mai koi badnasseb rota hai,
khuda kisi ko kisi pe fida na kare,
agar kare to kayamat tak juda na kare

jina chahte hai magar zindgi raas nahi aati,
marna chahte hai magar maut pass nahi aati,
bohot udas si hai zindgi,
unki yaadein bhi tadpane se baz nahi aati.

aaye the tum hamare dil main basne ke liye
hamein hi ujaar kar chal diye
jab dil ne humse kiye sawaal
toh hum khud par muskuraakar chal diye

10 Myths about Islam

Islam is a widely misunderstood religion. Those who are unfamiliar with the faith often have misunderstandings about its teachings and practices. Common misconceptions include that Muslims worship a moon-god, that Islam is oppressive women, or that Islam is a faith that promotes violence. Here we bust these myths and expose the true teachings of Islam.

1. Muslims worship a moon-god
Some non-Muslims mistakenly believe that Allah is an “Arab god,” a “moon god,” or some sort of idol. Allah is the proper name of the One True God, in the Arabic language. The most fundamental belief that a Muslim has is that “There is only One God,” the Creator, the Sustainer - known in the Arabic language and by Muslims as Allah. Arabic-speaking Christians use the same word for the Almighty.

2. Muslims don’t believe in Jesus
In the Qur’an, stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (called ‘Isa in Arabic) are abundant. The Qur’an recalls his miraculous birth, his teaching, and the miracles he performed by God’s permission. There is even a chapter of the Qur’an named after his mother, Mary (Miriam in Arabic). However, Muslims believe that Jesus was a fully human prophet and not in any way divine himself.

3. Most Muslims are Arabs
While Islam is often associated with Arabs, they make up only 15% of the world’s Muslim population. The country with the largest population of Muslims is Indonesia. Muslims make up 1/5 of world’s population, with large numbers found in Asia (69%), Africa (27%), Europe (3%) and other parts of the world.

4. Islam oppresses women
Most of the ill-treatment that women receive in the Muslim world is based on local culture and traditions, without any basis in the faith of Islam. In fact, practices such as forced marriage, spousal abuse and restricted movements directly contradict Islamic law governing family behavior and personal freedom.

5. Muslims are violent, terrorist extremists
Terrorism cannot be justified under any valid interpretation of the Islamic faith. The entire Qur’an, taken as a complete text, gives a message of hope, faith and peace to a faith community of one billion people. The overwhelming message is that peace is to be found through faith in God, and justice among fellow human beings. Muslim leaders and scholars do speak out against terrorism in all its forms, and offer explanations of misinterpreted or twisted teachings.

6. Islam is intolerant of other faiths
Throughout the Qur’an, Muslims are reminded that they are not the only ones who worship God. Jews and Christians are called “People of the Book,” meaning people who have received previous revelations from the One Almighty God that we all worship. The Qur’an also commands Muslims to protect from harm not only mosques, but also monasteries, synagogues and churches - because “God is worshipped there in.”

7. Islam promotes “jihad” to spread Islam by the sword and kill all unbelievers
The word Jihad stems from an Arabic word which means “to strive.” Other related words include “effort,” “labor” and “fatigue.” Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator. Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not “to spread Islam by the sword.”

8. The Quran was written by Muhammad and copied from Christian and Jewish sources
The Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of two decades, calling people to worship One Almighty God and to live their lives according to this faith. The Qur’an contains stories of Biblical prophets, because these prophets also preached the message of God. Stories are not merely copied, but the oral traditions are referred to in a way that focuses on the examples and teachings that we can learn from them.

9. Islamic prayer is just a ritualized performance with no heartfelt meaning
Prayer is a time to stand before God and express faith, give thanks for blessings, and seek guidance and forgiveness. During Islamic prayer, one s modest, submissive and respectful to God. By bowing and prostrating ourselves to the ground, we express our utmost humility before the Almighty.

10. The crescent moon is a universal symbol of Islam
The early Muslim community did not really have a symbol. During the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Islamic caravans and armies flew simple solid-colored flags (generally black, green or white) for identification purposes. The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years and wasn’t affiliated with Islam at all until the Ottaman Empire placed it on their flag.

A gift to mom

Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.

The first said, “I had a big house built for Mama.”

The second said, “I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house.”

The third said “I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her.”


The fourth said, “You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can’t read anymore because she can’t see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it.”

The other brothers were impressed. After the holidays Mom sent out her thank you notes.

“She wrote: “Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.”

“Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks.”

“Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I’ve lost my hearing and I’m nearly blind. I’ll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.”

“Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you.”

Milad An-Nabi

In the Islamic calendar, the 12th day of Rabi-al-Awwal marks the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

There is a difference of opinion about whether the Milad Un-Nabi should be a time of celebration. There is evidence that the Prophet, his Companions, and the early followers after them did not celebrate or otherwise observe his birthday. On the contrary, Muhammad was careful to warn his people not to imitate other faiths, whose followers elevated their prophets and added to the religion what was not in the original teachings.
Those who disagree claim that although not practiced in the early years of Islam, the remembrance of the Prophet's birthday is a "good innovation." They see it as a time to read the Qur'an, and remember the life, teachings, and example of the Prophet Muhammad.
