ﷺ
پُر کیف ہوائیں ہیں ہر سمت مدینے میں
ہر سانس معطر ہے کیا لطف ہے جینے میں
مہکار بہاروں کے خوش رنگ نظاروں میں
کیا منبعِ خوشبو ہے آقاؐ کے پسینے میں
ہے رختِ سفر تقویٰ اور صلِّ علیٰ لب پر
خوش بخت ہیں زائر سب طیبہ کے سفینے میں
دنیا میں شفا ٹھہری زمزم اور عجوہ میں
محشر میں بھی راحت ہے کوثر کے ہی پینے میں
گھر گھر میں چراغاں ہے میلاد کی محفل سے
محبوبؐ کی آمد ہے اِس پاک مہینے میں
قسمت کے سکندر ہیں رہتے ہیں جو طیبہ میں
’’ طیبہ کی فضاؤں میں کیا لطف ہے جینے میں‘‘
یا شاہِؐ امم دینا عرفانؔ کو اک قطرہ
ہیں بحر ہزاروں ہی رحمت کے خزینے میں
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Yaqoob Sharrudi, also known as Sheikh Sharrudi; born 1930- 2007) was a religious saint, preacher, researcher, mystic and imam. In this research paper the works of Sheikh Sharrudi is elaborated in a sophisticated manner, His numerous works were written in Brohvi and Balochi and then translated into Urdu, Arabic, Pashtu and many other languages. He had not only worked for the renaissance of Islam but also propagated the “true Islam", He gave solutions for the weaknesses because of which Islam had suffered for hundreds of years. He opined that preaching of Islam (Dawat o Tableegh) was necessary for Islam, establishing Sharia and saving Islam from both; secularism and nationalism. Has publicly disclaimed sectarianism in Islam.
Intervening within contemporary ecosophy, this thought experiment reframes the idea of the human while taking into account nonhuman semiotic potential. It postulates literary theory and texts as agents that participate in the material world’s meaningmaking tableau while subverting the nature/culture and human/nonhuman divides. Through a transdisciplinary itinerary, my work provides a much needed intervention within the field of literature as it foregrounds the narrative potential of nonhuman actants and its impact on the assumptions regarding the human body. Since stories have historically prescribed the centrality of the human as a logocentric agent, I argue that stories can also be used to dismantle this anthropocentric tilt. In so doing, they can establish the idea of a reparative humanness that takes into account the materialsemiotic agency of the world within which the human is enmeshed. Via the idea of textual ecology, I read the world as a kinetic compendium of human and nonhuman stories that defy absolutes and break down onto-epistemological enclosures. Therefore, my theorization takes on board Gerald Vizenor’s The Heirs of Columbus and Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl, along with two hypertexts, i.e., Mark Amerika’s Grammatron and Stephanie Strickland & Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo’s V:Vniverse to propose a re-reading of the human in terms of a compound subjectivity. This compound subjectivity inaugurates a re-reading of human embodiment as an editable assemblage that is in a state of continual becoming due to its enmeshment with various nonhuman phenomena. Since the human body is no longer a fixed entity, human performativity is also equally malleable. Therefore, I propose the idea of Ecoperformativity, which invites a search for new stories regarding our understanding of the world we live in through their mediation with nonhuman narrative agency. In so doing, I have blended the pertinent tenets of Jacques Derrida, Karen Barad, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Bruno Latour, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Timothy Morton, Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, etc. My research advocates the stance that in narrating more egalitarian performative accounts of human and nonhuman agency, literary texts and theories function as open-ended semiotic systems which permit a weaving of new stories regarding the co-constitutive participation of the human and nonhuman in the meaning-making processes of the world. This provides the space for the renewal of humanities that could raise further possibilities for thinking Posthuman subjectivities and the new structures of dominance that might emerge as a consequence.
