FITNA

 


The word *FITNA* is from the word فتن which means *to burn* or to *try by fire*.

(ˈfɪtnɑː) / noun. a state of trouble or chaos.
fitnah, (Arabic: “trial” or “test”)
Fitna (or fitnah, plural. fitan; Arabic: فتنة , فتن: "temptation".
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamaan asked:
'O Messenger of Allaah, we were in a state of ignorance (jaahiliyyah) and evil, then Allaah sent us this good (i.e., Islam). Will there be any evil after this good?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Will there by any good after that evil?’ He said, ‘Yes, but it will be tainted.’ I said, ‘How will it be tainted?’ He said, ‘(There will be) some people who will guide others in a way that is not according to my guidance. You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of others.’ I said, ‘Will there be any evil after that good?’ He said, ‘Yes, there will be people calling at the gates of Hell, and whoever responds to their call, they will throw them into it (the Fire).’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, describe them to us.’ He said, ‘They will be from among our people, speaking our language.’ I said, ‘What do you command me to do if I live to see such a thing?’ He said, ‘Adhere to the jamaa’ah (group, community) of the Muslims and their imaam (leader).’ I asked, ‘What if there is no jamaa’ah and no leader?’ He said, ‘Then keep away from all those groups, even if you have to bite (eat) the roots of a tree until death overtakes you whilst you are in that state.’”
☆WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THIS ?
#EVIL will always remain but it will come in different forms, to attract us, to confuse us and to make us indifferent because we dont understand it. Even tempt us towards it.
☆IS FITNA A FORM OF EVIL?
YES! EVIL ✖️ multiplied.
☆Why is it important for us?
Because it doesnt affect one house hold but shakes the fiber of the entire society mostly *moral* fiber. Like a wave that will drown all and no one will be saved from it. If we read the meaning of the world "Fitna" again then it suffice to say that "it will 🔥 burn the fiber of the society". Its a trial a test of #Iman not just any test but a trial of fire. It can also tempt many towards this evil. Its a state of trouble & chaos.
☆What should we do?
WE should stop⛔️ it🚫 . To save ourselves and others.
☆ HOW CAN WE STAY INDIFFERENT WHEN SOMETHING IS THERE TO BURN US 🔥????
Thankfully there are many who are raising their voice. Help them, join them.

MY VIEW : TERI MERI KAHANIYAN

  T eri meri Kahaniyaan..... a conceptual film with three different stories tied in one film. Considering the short focus span of viewers TMK was a novel idea to show different flavors on celluloid. The first story " Jinn Mahal" directed by Nabeel Qureshi is the longest in the film. The story gives a humorous take on Covid 19 days and how badly it affected the daily wage workers, who struggled to survive during lockdown . Director Nabeel in his massy style adds humor and sarcasm to the socio economic disparity in Karachi where many family's struggle to make ends meet. With Hira mani and her hubby in the lead roles playing a husband and wife on screen too with children, a sister in law and mom in law who are homeless during lockdown. They take shelter in a old house which is believed to be haunted. The story takes score on the builder mafia in Karachi and the nosy, not so posh neighborhood of this city. Not to give any spoilers, Hira is a natural when it comes to acting bu...

An infidel woman: The scandalous “pink nighty” in ‘Meray paas tum ho’.

Two days back I woke up to see social media upset and demanding PEMRA to ban a play called “M erey paas tum ho ”. The lead actress was trolled for choosing the worst role of her life and much up-roar was made about a “ scandalous pink nighty ” in one of the episodes. Since I had not watched the play I rushed to YouTube to see what the hangaama was about. To my surprise the play had a typical storyline of a middle class government employee Danish (Humanyon Saeed)   with a pretty wife Mehwish (played by Aieza Khan) and a kid, struggling to make ends meet because he is naïve and honest. His wife on the other hand dreams of a better lifestyle with luxuries. A lovable family sets the picture perfect scene of the first episode, till the entry of a rich business man Shahwar played by none other than Adnan Siddiuqi. Shahwar spots Mehwish among common friends and finds her attractive and starts giving her compliments on her beauty, the over possessive husband finds the sitaut...

Finally a happy ending for Pyare Afzal

For the past few days the social media is buzzing with the wedding news of Hamza Ali Abbasi of fame Pyare Afzal. Hamza started his career with TV and after doing a few projects moved to the big screen, he is not only famous for the work he did on screen but his claim to fame is from his extremely vocal socio-political and religious views especially on social media, he is seldom politically correct and gets a lot of bashing for his opinions. This week he was again in the news for posts about his wedding announcement to Naimal Khawaar. His long post about “Platonic Relationships” has been the topic  of the grape wine. His definition of Halal relationship was a bit bizarre and was so not needed in the wedding announcement.   Many bashed him for being self righteous or holier than thou. Some called it a publicity stunt, which often the people in the media are accused off.     On August 25 th  2019, the social media was again highlighting his beau...
