It is Allah's grace that the Chief of the American forces has confessed that they are not winning the war in Afghanistan. Allah-o-Akbar! What is the comparison between American might and the unarmed Mujahideens! But Allah is All-Powerful over everything. The exemplary and bad end of "President Bush's" eight years' reign is at hand. Only one month and eleven days are left. Approx 375 individuals are observing I'tikaf in the "Jami' Masid Usman-o-Ali" Bahawalpur. The last decade of Ramazan is going on. It is the 22nd night of Ramazan. We should increase worshipping Allah in the last decade of Ramazan. But the common conspiracies of the "Self" and the "Satan" are going on and hence the Muslims are leading more to the bazaars. The happiness of the Eid is that the Muslims may get the glad tidings of absolution. But we have made eating, drinking and visiting real happiness whereas these jobs can be done every day and every night all the year round. These are the points I intend to convey today. May Allah grant me with the power to do so!

Confession of Defeat

When seven years ago, America attacked Afghanistan, the cowardly people began to say that it was the game of a few days whereas careful analysts would say that America would conquer Afghanistan in a year or a half. Those days, I happened to go to Lahore. There I studied the column of one of the disciples of "Ghaamidy". He was as happy at American attack at Afghanistan as the cat is on the eve of her Aunt's marriage. He had very stressively written that the idiots who talk of Allah's assistance would come to know within a few days that it was impossible to fight America. He would foresee that Mulla Umar and other Mujahideen would go much back and be wiped out. But what happened? In spite of the best efforts of seven years, America and her Allies are being beaten. Now the Chief of the American forces has confessed that they are not winning the war in Afghanistan. Allah-o-Akbar! This incident of the present century has revived the memory of the bygone Muslims. From this incident, the people will perceive Allah's Grandeur, truth of Islam and the miracle of Jihad by the grace of Allah and will embrace Islam in groups and groups. The confession of defeat, in spite of, horrible Air Force and terrible earth might! Is it not the proof of the fact that Real Power lies with Allah and that Allah assists the Mu'mineen in Jihad.

Salutations to the Shuhada who sacrificed their lives and told the issue of Monotheism! Salutations to the Mujahideen who raised the greatness of Islam!

O Allah, raise us with Your dear slaves!

4th November, Mr. Pakorray Shah

A sharp knife is advancing to the neck of Mr. Bush on 4th November. There will be fresh elections in America on 4th November and Mr. Bush will have to vacate the White House bag and baggage. It will be the exemplary end of an oppressor. O yes, Mr. Bush will be no more than a Pakorray Shah after 4th November. Allah gives power whom He wills and snatches it away from whom He wills. How great Power did Mr. Bush have? The atomic brief case which could destroy the world was in his hands. The American fleets were at the movement of his eyebrow. Thousands of War Planes and millions of soldiers were under him. But he could not defeat an unarmed Muslim. No one will consider him the head after 4th November whereas millions of Muslims will keep considering Mulla Umar their Ameer. Allah-o-Akbar! Mr. Bush had everything save Allah's assistance. Therefore, he is going away with thousands of marks of slavery on his face. But those with whom there is Allah's assistance are successful whether they remain alive or die. Bush called a few Muslims his target. Then in order to kill and arrest them, he desolated numerous valleys, martyred thousands of Muslims and ignited the fire of oppression in the entire world. But in his "Namroody Fire" the sons of Khalil-Allah kept smiling and kept raising the slogan of Allah-o-Akbar. At last, Bush lost the war and he is going away now. A few days are left till 4th November. Bush is making his best efforts to remove a few marks from upon his face. So, there is bombing everywhere. The missiles are fired at houses and Maktabs. Mr. Bush like the injured snake wants to sting the Muslim Ummah before dying. O Muslims, it is a very critical time. Bush needs a few heads of the Muslims in order to lead the rest of his life honourabley. Therefore, all the Muslims in general and the Mujahideen in particular should attend to Allah. Pray specially for the Jihad leadership and wage Jihad after proper planning. There is no scope for feeling fear because only that should fear who is not to die whereas death is pre-destined. Death is the door of delights for the Muslims. So, no need fearing and nor anyone should try to frighten the Mujahideen. However, another Pharaoh is going to be drowned in the sea of disgrace. May he not score any great achievement nor there be any decrease in his repentance. Bush thinks that he is yet young as his father is still alive. How he will lead so long age with so deep marks of defeat. Only Allah knows about life and death. But how will Bush survive so long with so much blood at his head? Will the sighs and cries of the oppressed people let him rest? So much so, the evil-sprits of those Americans will haunt him who fell prey to his war craze. The blood of the oppressed ones becomes a cancer in the blood of the oppressors. Sometimes the pieces of the dead bodies of the innocent children begin to demand accounts in this world even.

O Allah, we seek refuge with You from Your torment and our bad end.

Springs of Zikr And I'tikaf

There is a city named Bahawapur in the South Punjab. A mud Masjid at a short distance from the Bahawlpur Railway station was built a few years ago. There was neither any contribution nor a celebration. Only a few individuals gathered. They raised hands for supplications and then they themselves got busy in constructing the Masjid. Those individuals always tried to construct the Masjid in a state of ablution. Allah be thanked, the Masjid was constructed within a few days. A holy saint named it "Jami' Usman-o-Ali" gave the glad tidings that by the grace of Allah, the fragrance of the Masjid would spread far and wide within a year. Then the same thing happened. People would come from far and wide and would try to perceive complete Din Islam. Then the sounds of Zikr and recitation began to resound in the Masjid and seven day's training programme every month became a cause of peace and solace for the Muslims. Five years ago, a poor saint intended to observe I'tikaf in that Masjid. Seven companions were also selected for it. No sooner did they sit in the Masjid than it was surrounded by some people. The people in uniforms and without uniforms from every direction reached there to desolate that garden. That poor saint cast a last glance at the Masjid, shed a few tears, put his kerchief at his shoulder and was lost somewhere. The Masjid was not his possession that it might be desolated. Its real Lord guarded it. O yes, the Masjid is Allah's House and the daughter of the Holy Ka'ba. It came to be known yesterday that 375 people have come to observe I'tikaf in that Masjid. May Allah bless them with His special mercy, absolve them and fill their hearts with Light and peace. Wah my Lord wah! How great is Your Grandeur and how vast is Your assistance with the tasks of Din!

Demands of the Last Decade

It is reported that special absolution from Allah is pronounced on the last night of Ramazan. In the same way, according to Al-Muslim and Al-Bukhari, Hazrat Ayesha (RA) reports that the Holy Prophet would gird up his loins during the last decade of Ramazan, would awake at nights and also advised the members of his family to keep awake. It becomes clear that the Muslims should work harder and worship more in last decade of Ramazan. But these days, we people become loose and cool.

1. Some people go to the Bazaars permanently to earn Eid.

2. Some people waste their time in the deception of Eid-purchase.

3. Some people set out on long journeys to their villages and cities. Worship is missed due to journey and the drivers make them listen to the songs to blacken their hearts.

4. Many people complete the Noble Quran in the Tarawih. During the last nights, they do not perform Tarawih and begin to relax themselves.

O Muslim Brothers and sisters, is it all not the deception of the "Self" and the "Satan?" The real reward of the wages is awarded at the end of Ramazan and on the day of Eid. We are deprived of it in love of shoes, clothes and visits so much so many people miss recitation of the Noble Quran on the Eid day, do not establish congregational players and commit sins to their fill. Now note the following tradition:

Afterwards, when it is the night of Eid-ul-Fitr,it is named (in the skies) Laylat-ul-Jaaiza (The night of Rewards). When it is the Eid morning, Allah sends the angels to all the cities. They descend upon the earth and stand at all streets and banks of roads and call with the voice which all the creatures except humans and giants hear) "O the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad , go to the Lord Who is the Greatest of all the givers and Who forgives the biggest faults." When people come out to go to the Eid place, Allah Almighty asks the angels, "What is the reward of the labourer who has complete his work?" They say, "O our Lord and Master, his reward is that his wages should be paid in full." At this, Allah says, "O angels, be witness, I have granted them with My will and absolution in lieu of the Ramazan Fasts and Tarawih. Then He addresses His slaves, "My slaves, demand of Me. By esteem and by Mr Grandeur, the man who demands of Me about the Last Day on this this day in the crowd, I shall keep his advisability in view. By My Honour, so long as you remain attentive to Me, I shall keep overlooking your weak points and mistakes (keep concealing them). By My Honour and My Grandeur, I shall not disgrace you before the culprits (Kafirs). So go back to your houses all absolved. You have pleased Me and I am pleased with you." (Fazaail-e-Ramazan P:64)

Do pray for me and I pray for you so that Allah may make our last decade of Ramazan the blessed one and we may remain busy in the tasks of Din and accepted worship and also spend the Eid day according to Allah's will. May Allah absolve us all!
