Zulm.
Ẓulm (ظلم, zulm) is the Arabic word used interchangeably for cruelty or unjust acts of exploitation, oppression, and wrongdoing, whereby a person either deprives others of their rights or does not fulfill his obligations towards them.
Hello all ,
So here’s a thought provoking question for all of you?
What is the meaning of Zulm?
For you,
Is it just physical hurt or more than that or is it verbal abuse or something else?
In life we all have experienced Zulm , and it's really difficult to get through the phase.
We get exhausted and broken it's hard for us to understand how to deal with this situation.
I was watching AQA MAULA TUS everyday at Raudat Tahera during RAMADAN 2024 showering us with energy and love each moment. And that’s what keeps me going.
There was another type of Zulm occurring during Ramadan , the gastronomic events all around, we are told to observe iftari with dates and water yet, the rows of fried food outside was overwhelming and then followed by so called celebrity worship who were coming for this food and Instagram accounts overflowing with people who instead of praying night namaz were clicking snaps with these people and then calling it entertainment I call this Zulm, will you please help me with little enlightenment is it Ramadan ?
Don’t get me wrong that I am against good food yet let’s keep it halal don’t make it a Zulm on yourself and your surroundings.
And now we will welcome Muharram with tears reminding us about the Zulm endured by our Ahlul Bayt and Imam HUSAIN AS.
So are you prepared to go through the 10 day rigorous schedule of sitting and concentrating on the Waaz? How much is your attention span?
Thinking about our children who will have hard time sitting quietly for so long.
It’s a Zulm on your body to sit cramped in front of the screen and also aggregate our attention on each word!
Yet it’s the most satisfying part of mumins life.
Imam Husain AS , went through far more Zulm than what we would feel.
Remember.
There is no justification for Zulm,
The universe registers these events and gives it back to the doers so be rest assured that when you endure any kind of Zulm, your thought should be Ahsin, with this thought you will be able to sail through it. Else you might end up creating more Zulm.
I sailed through it with Ahsin, each mumin who didn’t wait outside for a snap with the so called celebrity and walked quietly past it towards the masjid did Ahsin, when you will sit in front of the screen you will do Ahsin, let’s teach our children Ahsin and reap the glory of Ahsin., Ameen.
I meet many people who come to me and speak big about manifesting and kindness and giving and yet they have unsolved mysterious questions in their lives. Health, Wealth and Relationships….
And then we speak about doing good to those who did evil to you !
Bang , how will I do it?
They ask ……
And we remind ourselves of Ya IMAM ALI AS.
So again I ask you what is the meaning of Zulm for you? Why are you reading this blog ?
What Zulm have you gone through or done on someone.
Its52 allocation doesn’t depend on internet speed or anything else it purely depends on what’s in store for you what have you sowed and how you will reap it .
It’s a Zulm to make assumptions about anyone getting it or not getting it. And reasons behind it. Ahsin.
“ SOMETIMES HE DREW ME VERY NEAR TO HIM AND THERE WAS NO BLESSING GREATER TO ME THAN THAT, AT OTHER TIMES HE KEPT ME DISTANT AND THERE WAS NO PAIN GREATER TO ME THAN THAT,WHATEVER THE SITUATION HE CULTIVATED AND TRAINED ME.”
Ahsin Ila Mann Asa Ilake.
