I was travelling back home alone when I realized how one of the terribly boring places airports can be. Placing
my handbag on my lap like a lady, I looked for my mobile with delicacy. Smiled
reading an extremely important message from my friend named ‘Telenor’. Forever*coughs*Alone
A few seats away I saw a little boy in his
mid teens, lost in emptiness. He was well dressed but seemed mysteriously
different. “Hi, I am Tayyaba, the famous motivational blogger you must have
heard of.” I introduced making sure everyone around us heard.
He blinked then carelessly replied “Nope”.
I faked a laugh saying “Always the same answer!” My lame attempt at wittiness
went wasted as he continued to ignore me. I was about to give up when he asked what
I write about. Now that’s my favorite topic so I went on and on bragging.
Making it sound like I am THE celebrity whole world is desperately waiting for
outside the next airport. Being me now, laughing carelessly, and talking
not-so-lady-like. However my smile faded when he started to talk.
“I used to cut myself, I still have scars
all over my body” he whispered. At first I thought it was his turn to joke
around. I froze and waited for the cause behind such horrible act. “My parents
used to fight.” He went on, “I started to blame myself for all the chaos, was
too young to understand it all. So I’d cut myself and watch myself bleed,
waiting to die.” Since I got extremely worried he assured me he was fine now for
he plays guitar. He is an artist and his guitar helps him through it. Sadly
from here his eyes started to disagree with his words and he could sense it
too. Then followed the awkward frantic goodbyes and he left.
The extremely outrageous, monstrous, unspeakable
things are always the most common things we humans can relate to. We need to
talk about them no matter how dreadful or disturbing they are. Finding Problem
or asking Question; is the first step towards solutions, peace and success.
It’s a sign of intelligence and consciousness as long as your intentions are
not evil.
Basic questions like: Why me? Where my
prayers go? Why am I still alive? Why are we here? Why the evil wins here? And
then there are so much more messed up questions in our heads. With an increase
in your intelligence, your problems and questions would also grow.
There is only one way out of this phase: the Soul needs to be fixed.
You don’t have to grow a beard to
understand Quran Kareem. And for non-Muslims, you don’t have to be Muslim to
find answers to these basic human questions. Goodness, knowledge, wisdom, and
peace don’t come with a price-tag. Quran Kareem holds such an active
communication that it instantly starts to answer questions that just pop in
your head while listening it. It will keep answering all your questions right
there and then. What keeps you from talking
to the ONE who created you? The thirst for knowledge needs to be quenched. Or
else on frustration it leads us to the dig our own graves while we are still alive.
Save yourself!
