A Profitable Deal

 

 

مُنافع کا سودا

سرکارِ دو عالم حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اپنے صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما کے درمیان تشریف فرما تھے کہ ایک یتیم جوان شکایت لیئے حاضر خدمت ہوا۔ کہنے لگا یا رسول اللہ؛ میں اپنی کھجوروں کے باغ کے ارد گرد دیوار تعمیر کرا رہا تھا کہ میرے ہمسائے کی کھجور کا ایک درخت دیوار کے درمیان میں آ گیا۔ میں نے اپنے ہمسائے سے درخواست کی کہ وہ اپنی کھجور کا درخت میرے لیئے چھوڑ دے تاکہ میں اپنی دیوار سیدھی بنوا سکوں، اُس  نے دینے سے انکار کیا تو میں نے اُس کھجور کے درخت کو  خریدنے کی پیشکس کر ڈالی، میرے ہمسائے نے مجھے کھجور کا درخت بیچنے سے بھی انکار کر دیا ہے۔

سرکار  صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اُس نوجوان کے ہمسائے کو بلا بھیجا۔ ہمسایہ حاضر ہوا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم  نے اُسے نوجوان کی شکایت سُنائی جسے اُس نے تسلیم کیا کہ واقعتا ایسا ہی ہوا ہے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اُسے فرمایا کہ تم اپنی کھجور کا درخت اِس نوجوان کیلئے چھوڑ دو یا اُس درخت کو نوجوان کے ہاتھوں فروخت کر دو اور قیمت لے لو۔ اُس آدمی نے دونوں حالتوں میں انکار کیا۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنی بات کو ایک بار پھر دہرایا؛ کھجور کا درخت اِس نوجوان کو فروخت کر کے پیسے بھی وصول کر لو  اور تمہیں جنت میں بھی ایک عظیم الشان  کھجور کا درخت ملے گا جِس کے  سائے کی طوالت میں سوار سو سال تک چلتا رہے گا۔

دُنیا کےایک درخت کے بدلے میں جنت میں ایک درخت کی  پیشکش ایسی عظیم  تھی جسکو سُن کر مجلس میں موجود سارے صحابہ کرام  رضی اللہ عنہما دنگ رہ گئے۔ سب یہی سوچ رہے تھے کہ ایسا شخص جو جنت میں ایسے عظیم الشان درخت کا مالک ہو کیسے جنت سے محروم ہو کر دوزخ میں جائے گا۔  مگر وائے قسمت کہ دنیاوی مال و متاع کی لالچ اور طمع آڑے آ گئی اور اُس شخص نے اپنا کھجور کا درخت بیچنے سے انکار کردیا۔

مجلس میں موجود ایک صحابی (ابا الدحداح) آگے بڑھے اور  حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے عرض کی، یا رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم، اگر میں کسی طرح وہ درخت خرید کر اِس نوجوان کو دیدوں تو کیا مجھے جنت کا وہ درخت ملے گا؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے جواب دیا ہاں تمہیں وہ درخت ملے گا۔

ابا الدحداح اُس آدمی کی طرف پلٹے اور اُس سے پوچھا میرے کھجوروں کے باغ کو جانتے ہو؟ اُس آدمی نے فورا جواب دیا؛ جی کیوں نہیں، مدینے کا کونسا ایسا شخص ہے جو اباالدحداح کے چھ سو کھجوروں کے باغ کو نہ جانتا ہو، ایسا باغ جس کے اندر ہی ایک محل تعمیر کیا گیا ہے، باغ میں میٹھے پانی کا ایک کنواں اور باغ کے ارد گرد تعمیر  خوبصورت اور نمایاں دیوار دور سے ہی نظر آتی ہے۔ مدینہ کے سارے تاجر تیرے باغ کی اعلٰی اقسام کی کھجوروں کو کھانے اور خریدنے کے انتطار میں رہتے ہیں۔

ابالداحداح نے اُس شخص کی بات کو مکمل ہونے پر کہا، تو پھر کیا تم اپنے اُس کھجور کے ایک درخت کو میرے سارے باغ، محل، کنویں اور اُس خوبصورت دیوار کے بدلے میں فروخت کرتے ہو؟

اُس شخص نے غیر یقینی سے سرکارِ دوعالم کی طرف دیکھا کہ کیا عقل مانتی ہے کہ ایک کھجور کے بدلے میں اُسے ابالداحداح کے چھ سو کھجوروں کے باغ کا قبضہ بھی مِل پائے گا کہ نہیں؟ معاملہ تو  ہر لحاظ سے فائدہ مند نظر آ رہا تھا۔ حضور پاک صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور مجلس میں موجود صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ عنہما نے گواہی دی اور معاملہ طے پا گیا۔

ابالداحداح نے خوشی سے حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو دیکھا اور سوال کیا؛ یا رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ، جنت میں میرا ایک کھجور کا درخت پکا ہو گیا ناں؟

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا نہیں۔ ابالدحداح سرکار صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے جواب سے حیرت زدہ سے ہوئے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنی بات کو مکمل کرتے ہوئے جو کچھ  فرمایا اُس کا مفہوم یوں بنتا ہے کہ؛ اللہ رب العزت نے تو جنت میں ایک درخت محض ایک درخت کے بدلے میں دینا تھا۔ تم نے تو اپنا پورا باغ ہی دیدیا۔ اللہ رب العزت جود و کرم میں بے مثال ہیں اُنہوں نے تجھے جنت میں کھجوروں کے اتنے باغات عطاء کیئے ہیں کثرت کی بنا پر جنکے درختوں کی گنتی بھی نہیں کی جا سکتی۔ ابالدحداح، میں تجھے پھل سے لدے ہوئے  اُن درختوں کی کسقدر تعریف بیان کروں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اپنی اِس بات کو اسقدر دہراتے رہے کہ محفل میں موجود ہر شخص یہ حسرت کرنے لگا اے کاش وہ ابالداحداح ہوتا۔

ابالداحداح وہاں سے اُٹھ کر جب اپنے گھر کو لوٹے تو خوشی کو چُھپا نہ پا رہے تھے۔ گھر کے باہر سے ہی اپنی بیوی کو آواز دی کہ  میں نے چار دیواری سمیت یہ باغ، محل اور کنواں بیچ دیا ہے۔

بیوی اپنے خاوند کی کاروباری خوبیوں اور صلاحیتوں کو اچھی طرح جانتی تھی، اُس نے اپنے خاوند سے پوچھا؛ ابالداحداح کتنے میں بیچا ہے یہ سب کُچھ؟

ابالداحداح نے اپنی بیوی سے کہا کہ  میں نے یہاں کا ایک درخت جنت میں لگے ایسے  ایک درخت کے بدلے میں بیچا ہے جِس کے سایہ میں سوار سو سال تک چلتا رہے۔

ابالداحداح کی بیوی نے خوشی سے چلاتے ہوئے کہا؛ ابالداحداح، تو نے منافع کا سودا کیا ہے۔ ابالداحداح، تو نے منافع کا سودا کیا ہے۔

****

 دنیا کی قُربانی کے بدلے میں آخرت کی بھلائی یا دُنیا میں اُٹھائی گئی تھوڑی سی مشقت کے بدلے کی آخرت کی راحت۔۔۔۔ کون تیار ہے ایسے سودے کیلئے؟؟؟ زندگی کی سمت متعین کرنے کیلئے آپ سوچیئے گا ضرور۔۔۔

The Sweet Revenge

The Sweet Revenge
 
After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger woman.
 
The downtown luxury apartment was in his name and he wanted to remain there with his new love so he asked the wife to move out and then he would buy her another place.
 
The wife agreed to this, but asked that she be given 3 days on her own there, to pack up her things.
 
While he was gone, the first day she lovingly put her personal belongings into boxes and crates and suitcases.
 
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
 
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their candlelit Dining table, soft music playing in the background, and feasted on a pound of shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay.
 
When she had finished, she went into each room and deposited a few of the resulting shrimp shells into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
 
The husband came back, with his new girl, and all was bliss for the first few days. Then it started, slowly but surely. Clueless, the man could not explain why the place smelled so bad.
 
They tried everything; cleaned &mopped and aired the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, carpets were steam cleaned, Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in; the carpets were replaced, and on it went.
 
Finally, they could take it no more and decided to move. The Moving Company arrived and did a very professional packing job, taking everything to their new home; including the curtain rods.

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances..

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances….

Last Friday the Stunners took to the field again with their magnificent warriors for a match against Stars Eleven. The Stunners captain Adnan Ahmad won the toss and decided to bat. Abdul Haseeb and Saqlain Latif Satti started the innings. The bowling from Stars Eleven [SE] was outstanding and they didn't allow either batsmen room to play shots and score freely.

 Saqlain was soon removed by Abid in the 7th over for only 18 runs, and in came "boom boom boy" Tallat. He looked to play his natural shorts but the disciplined Stars eleven bowling ensured he was unable to score freely. The bowling from SE was undoubtedly marvelous, but soon enough, after an over, Tallat got into his groove and the crowd cheered for some "boom boom" action. Tallat obliged with two huge hits over the boundary and soon Abdul Haseeb got into the action as well. Unfortunately Abdul Haseeb well played innings ended when he was caught on 32. Noman came in and Tallat's hitting seemed infectious as he hit two sixes immediately after taking strike.

Tallat continued playing well and made 38 quick fire runs but was caught from the boundary line by an outstanding catch by Mr. Abid. This prompted a mini collapse as three quick wickets fell on the trot and the run rate took a dive. In the last 6 overs, the Stunners could only make 45 runs which included a beautiful six from Suleman Ashraf in the last over.

Chasing 159 runs looked an easy task for SE but The Stunners sensed they could put up a fight. When they took to the field, the confidence, the body language, the determination, the Stunners were not going down easy. Suleman and Abdul Haseeb bowled extremely well in the first spell and the SE batsmen were unable to score runs freely. In the second spell Kashif and Tallat also bowled well and succeeded to maintain the pressure created by Suleman and Abdul Haseeb. As wicketkeeper, Abdul Haseeb caught some outstanding catches that had to be seen to be believed. By the end of the 13th over of the SE innings, they were all out for only 97 runs.

The man of the match award went to none other than Abdul Haseeb for his outstanding performance in all departments of the game. Congrats again to the marvelous Abdul Haseeb.

Note: This is the second time Abdul Haseeb has bagged the man of the match award in the last four matches.

Summary: The Stunners 159 for 8 (Tallat Saleem 38, Abdul Haseeb 32, Saqlain Latif 18) beat Stars Eleven 97 for all by 62 runs.

In war the heroes always outnumber the soldiers ten to one.

Pak Cricket Club won the toss and decided to bat first.

Abdul Haseeb struck with the third ball of the innings, bowling skipper Mushtaq for a duck.

Wasim Abbas provided excellent support to Abdul Haseeb as the Pak Club batsmen laboured to find the runs.

The second spell of Tallat Saleem and Kashif Ali was also fantastic.

Bowling from The Stunners side was fantastic but Mr. Kashif also played a wonderful inning and was the only batsman who made a splendid 78 with some  superb sixes. Unfortunately he was run out and that was a huge wicket for The Stunners and saved at least 40-45 runs. PCC made 181 runs in 16 overs for the loss of 7 wickets.

Abdul Haseeb, Waseem, Kashif, Tallat & Talha bowled very well.

The Stunners innings

The Stunners required 182 runs to return home triumphant.

Syed Waqas and Saqlain Latif started the inning. Syed on the strike. One dot ball and a single was taken. In the first over only four runs were made. Syed was badly injured and was unable to play. Everyone was able to see the pain he was going through. Saqlain started a wonderful inning with beautiful sixes. Syed was sent to the pavilion for four runs only.

Sqlain played wonderfully with 5 sixes and 1 four. Tallat comes in, as first down. A big six on the fine leg to get off the mark.

Tallat began his innings with his usual flair. Off the second ball he faced, he struck another six. He continued playing outstanding shorts around the wicket. Saqlain also played a vital role and provided full support to Tallat. Tallat was the most attractive knock, his 98 runs coming from 27 balls with 14 sixes and 2 fours. The Stunners won the match in 10th over at the loss of one wicket only.

Note: Abdul Haseeb remained the one and only stunner who made 100.

At the end Saqlain was 47 and Tallat 98 [both not out]. A big round of applause for Saqlain.

Man of the Match award goes to none other than Tallat. Weldone Tallat.

In war the heroes always outnumber the soldiers ten to one.

The Stunners.

Some tsunamis don't necessarily start at sea.

I want to tell you all a story. A true story. One that happened last Friday 15th October, 2010.

Hurd Supporting Club won the toss and decided to bat. From The Stunners side, Abdul Haseeb, Kashif and Saqlain and Saad bowled very well and didn’t allow the batsmen to play freely; they could only make 126/10 in 12 overs. The fielding of The Stunners was outstanding specially Tallat caught some incredible catches behind the wicket. From the Stunners side, opening batsmen Tallat Saleem and Javed Alam started the innings in attacking fashion. In the first over Tallat hit a marvelous sixer. He was entertaining all the viewers with his classy batting but unfortunately he was caught at the boundary line. Then, Syed Waqas came on first down and started playing ground shots. He was looking very confident and wanted to repeat last week's performance but unfortunately he also caught at the boundary line. 

At one time the match was one sided and the target of 126 runs was very easy for the Stunners but after the fall of first few wickets and rise in the run rate, the match was slowly moving towards a loss for our team. Saqlain played a mature innings, he and Haseeb tried their best to play positive shots to bring down the score with hits over the boundary but they too fell. The innings gradually progressed with 29 runs required off the last two overs. 

Enter Saad:
The opposition bowler kept things very tight in the second last over, leaking only 7 runs.
Final over. Required runs: 22. 

Saad on strike.
No rainy clouds, many frowning faces on the Stunners' bench.

As the opposition bowler took his run up, Saad glanced at the fielders, once. Maybe twice. 
His lofted shot flew high into the sky and the long-on boundary fielder stepped backwards to hold on to the catch. 
The Stunners bench was smiling. Confused, the fielder looked back to see he had crossed the boundary line. Six!
Next ball, the fielders move closer to the boundary, they thought they had this in the bag, not quite.
Six. Another HUGE one over long off.

Under pressure from Saad's nuclear warfare, the bowler resorted to bowling a wide next ball.
The third ball saw Saad rotate the strike to Kashif with a single. Kashif returned the favor next ball when trying for a huge shot.
7 runs off two balls to win.
As Saad hit the 5th ball of the over, it seemed to be heading for a quick trip to Bahrain over long off. Six again! 
The Hurd Supporting Club could not believe what had just happened. Some tsunami's don't necessarily start at sea.

Exasperated, they bowled the next ball wide. 
The Stunners had just witnessed one of their best victories ever. Saad smiled.

Well done Saad for a marvelous performance.
