جنم دن
میں یہ بات کسے بتائوں ؟
’’آج جنم دن ہے میرا‘‘
یعنی !یہ بتائوں
آج بھی تنہا ہوں میں
Khushal Khan Khattak, a seventeenth century Pakhtun writer, poet and swordsman, and his forefathers had served the Mughal for a long time. However, his fortune took a sudden twist when Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb imprisoned him in 1664, and kept him in solitary confinement at Ranthambore fort. After his release from prison, Khushal Khan was a different person. He remained no more a loyal Mughal official afterwards. Although, Aurangzeb Alamgir and a number of Mughal governors of Kabul tempted him several time to accept a position in the frontier areas but he out-rightly declined. This transformation is clearly visible in his poetry. He took up arms against the Mughals in 1673 and declared a war against them despite the fact that some of his family members even his son had sided with the Mughals. He continued his anti-Mughal struggle till his death in 1689. Some of the critics look at the antiMughal role of Khushal Khan with suspicion and have raised a few queries in this connection. This study looks into the circumstances that saw transformation in his outlook towards the Mughals. Then it explores, whether it was a personal vendetta or the start of a collective anti-Mughal Pakhtun struggle. The article looks into various dimensions, nature and direction of his struggle. This research paper is an attempt to evaluate objectively as to why and how Khushal Khan joined the anti-Mughal camp in the borderland area. Some more related questions are also discussed in details in this article.
Allah has bestowed the honor of His viceroy ship and exalted the man upon other creations. Man is
created only and only to worship Allah. The world is a place of trial in which man has been given a choice
between obedience of Allah and fellowship of Satan. The line of prophet hood was created to provide
guidance to all mankind. Majority of Ummahs of prophets opted for shirk and became troublesome for
people in social life. They were destroyed by Allah because of their consistency in wrong believes and
social evils.
Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) has been sent as last Prophet and Quran is the last book for human kind, till
the Day of Judgment. Man's success in this world, in the grave and the world hereafter is conditioned by
the obedience of Allah and following the path of Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H). We can achieve Allah's
willingness and benevolence by adopting a way of our lives which is enjoined by Allah. Whereas shirk
and disobedience invites Allah's displeasure, wrath and curse which incur disgrace in this world and
eternal loss in the next world. Shirk and disobedience of Allah were the main features of the nations
which were suffered by Azab in this world. Such Punishments from Allah were always according to
certain rules. Lives and cities of those nations were destroyed but on the other hand the nations who
persist in Allah remain intact by this wrath. They achieved Allah's benevolence and comfort in the worldly
life.
The Holy Quran explains those rules and principles at length according to which Allah punished nations
and also gives their detailed histories. In the thesis under consideration, these rules and principles have
been extracted from Holy Quran and are applied on the nations which were destroyed by Azab. By
understanding these rules and principles, the Muslims can avoid Allah's wrath and get His willingness
and benevolence.
Moreover problems of Present days can only be overcome and resolved by learning from the previous
nations and correcting our own actions in the light of Quran and Sunnah which consequently will bring
prosperity, comfort and peace in this world and an honorable position among other nations of the world.
