We are the human being

Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, and then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.
- Mahatma Gandhi



We are the human being

Suddenly I wake up. With good intention in my mind. My stop is arrived. I say thanks' to the next passenger, I don't know why I m too much attracted toward him it was never happen before. He also replied happy journey and great me the best wishes for my future plan. I say in mind he even don't know the purpose. He never asked why I m coming for. I smiled and says to him good bye.

While coming out of the station he was in my mind. It’s the feeling I never have before. I planned to take rest.

Suddenly the sound come “are you Zishan?”
I replied “yes”
“Salaam valekum bhai jaan” he replied.
“Valekum aslaam you Amir Right” I asked.
“Yes bhai jaan” Amir answered
“Then you are going to help me to destroy this country?” I shoot the question
“Yes but you have to take a rest before” Amir replied.
“Ok I need it” answered with a light mind.
“So bhai jaan where are you from” Amir asked.
“Well I m from P.O.K” I answered.
“Bhai jaan what you think is it right?” Amir asked
“What you are talking about? What right or what wrong ask the clear question” with the anger the words come from my mind.
Amir says “killing the innocent person for…………”
“What killing the innocent person, they are not innocent. Are you mad? What kind of words you are saying from your mouth? Are you kafir? Doesn’t be fool” suddenly my mind blown up and body is shivering like the tree with the great power of wind.

“Sorry bhai jaan” he replied
He told me “Your room, you have to stay for the three days while the ammo will come”
Amir is gone but the question asked by him is travelling through my mind. Is it right?
I don't know why mind is searching the answer for this question.
Suddenly I gone on flashback it was my childhood at the age of five year I was taken by the jihadist group for the training? They trained me with the guns, weapons, self defense tack ticks and they mastered me with the bomb. My childhood is with guns, weapons and bombs I never played a game, like me there was about 1300 kids who are taking the training. At the free times baba (al mujahri leader of jamate Kashmiri) told that India is very bad country and they kill the Muslims like me and all of us, he talked lots about the Islam and the jihad. With his world we prayed to kill the beast like this country.
Suddenly the mobile bell wrings.
“Salaam Zishan bhai jaan” it was Amir.
“Salaam Amir” I replied
“Everything is ready but the plan is postponed for three days” he said
“Why is everything alright” I asked
“Ji bhai jaan” he said
“Ok, then what can I do these days” I asked him with little fear.
“Don’t worry bhai jaan, you go to jama masjid and pass your time or meet with the innocent peoples …..” the call is disconnected
I think in my mind it was a good time to meat the peoples of Muslim world for whom I m fighting this war. I decided to go. Suddenly as the light come I was get ready and move towards the jama masjid.
In the entrance of jama masjid I removed my shoes and walk inside.
Suddenly some one called me by my name “hello Zishan”
I turned and saw the man with whom I m travelling in the train form Jammu to Delhi
I replied “hello Danish how are you”
He replied “fine thanks”
I asked “what you are doing here.”
“Nothing” he replied but I can’t believed
“Nothing, really tell me” I asked
“Actually I m here to meat maulana Nushrat Khan Sahib, he is kazi here.” Danish replied and say “why not you come with me” he suddenly asked
I said “why not”
Then we go to the room of kazi maulana nushrat khan sahib room. We great each other.
Then Danish says “Khan Sahib I m Danish I got offer from jamate Kashmiri to join their campaign against the country. Mujhe pak parvardigar ka bataya hua raah dikhaye (show me the path told by the holy kuraan) is it the right way to serve khuda?”
Khan Sahib “what you are saying according to kuraan killing any person is the killing the whole world humanity? If you want to serve khuda then serve for their people” it was nothing like by killing the innocent people you win the holy war. It was killing the kuraan itself”
“Sorry to interrupt but it was the fight for you people to give freedom from this hasty environment” I answered

“What is your name son” khan sahib replied

“Ji Zishan” I replied

“I recognized you while you enter in this room son, you are from that organization by the emblem in your neck” he said “son told me why you are fighting for us who told you that” he asked

“Baba I mean al mujahri he told me it was the way told by the khuda In kuraan to kill those who have no faith in Muslims community and who have no faith in kuraan ” I replied.

“You know Arabian, Farsi Pasto and any other language?” he
Asked

I say “I know all that languages”

Khan sahib “ Then this is the wholly kuraan read it, in this holly book nowhere written that any community is great or failed, the only think matter is humanity which was killed even by the breaking of faith of person, then how it was justified to kill the others is according to kuraan. Read it we will meat tomorrow”

We returned now I m going through kuraan it was 2 day without sleeping a moment I m reading the kuraan. It was finished and the tears in my eyes. I suddenly stood on the place, I m shocked I get ready to go to the room of khan sahib just like tornado who get its direction. I called Amir to come with me we both moves toward the room of khan sahib. We entered into his room he is crying, it was another shocking view that kazi sahib is crying. I asked him with
“Salaam khan sahib what happen?”
Khan Sahib replied “see what your friend did, they killed kids who are busy in studies in the Rawalpindi? You know all of them are Muslims”

“Now why you are coming here? He asked
But I m in the kind of situation which include shock, anger, it was a mixed emotion

“Hello Zishan why are you coming?” with that words I woke

“Khan Sahib we are misguided whatever baba says is opposite according to kuraan. There are lots of person like me misguided by him” I replied and start crying “what now I will do? My hand is colored with the blood of innocents. I want to die”

“This is not a good choice son; you have an opportunity to give direction to all of them who are misguided. All of you are human being” khan sahib told to me.

“But how?” I have replied.
“It must decided by you son” khan sahib replied

Suddenly I stood and told to Amir “I m going to surrender will you coming with me.”

“Yes bhai jaan” Amir replied

Both of us gone to the anti terrorist cell of Delhi police and surrendered we told them our all the plans and asked help by them.

The D.G.P of Delhi police give us the surety that our name will not declared in the press until the al mujahri leader of jamate kashmiri will be arrested we make a plan and with the help of D.G.P it was announced in the media that the militant kidnaps the home minister of India and hidden somewhere in Delhi. The news gone on the ear of al mujahri and then he contacted me.
Amir says to him “during the operation Zishan bhai voice gone, so you have to come here and take the charges”

Al mujahri says “when I heard it I will come to Delhi tell me where we have to meat”

As pre decided place which we are decided with the help of Delhi police we told him to come Jhajjar district in Haryana.

As he came there the police arrested him.

D.G.P Says thanks to us, to helping the nation prime minister of India pardons us and us gone back to P.O.K where we started a campaign to educate people about what kuraan says. As the people of P.O.K educated with Kuraan they stop giving help to the militants and lots of militants come back to their normal life. The time passes now P.O.K is free with the militant organizations, and declares itself as the part of India. Now I M happily say that “We are the human being”.

Gita Saar

Gita Saar

Bhagavad Gita is the most unusual and the one of the most important scriptures. Its is the divine voice of the God. One can be spiritually benefited by mediating and contemplating on the Gita. One's all doubts are removed and by following it, one can attain Him. This Celestial Song was sung by Lord Krishna.



Whatever happened, it happened for good.
Whatever is happening, is happening for good.
Whatever that will happen, it will be for good.
What have you lost for which you cry?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has destroyed?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and

you will go the same way.

Whatever is yours today was somebody else’s yesterday and will be somebody else’s tomorrow.

Change is the law of the universe.
