Commentary

Praise is unto Allah no matter which time which place it is done. No matter He is praised directly (i.e. He is the greatest, He is beauteous, He is Omnipotent, so on.); or indirectly (i.e. What an ocean! How lovely the garden is!) since, praising a created article indeed denotes that you eulogize the one who formed it.

Whether you extol Him in words as mentioned above or through body organs; such as, reading Quran with tongue, offering Salah standing on legs, going to mosque on foot…

ب ا م تقوی القل عظم شعئر الل فان ی�و م ی ی� ر� ہ� ی�

and he, who reveres the symbols of Allah, is pious…

It is only Allah Who deserves to be praised. It is only Him Who owns praise. It is only Allah with Whom all praises are specific. .The Owner, The Ruler, The Sustainer = رب He created the universe, He’s owned everything for the duration not known; He

will remain the Owner forever.

He is the Ruler Who is the greatest and the highest. The Sustainer look after a human from its being semen to amalgamation with

females eggs then resting in female’s womb then grooming of fetus to a child then on various stages of life providing human with food, living, spouse, kids, health and so on.

Bruised chick, limping kitten all get provisions… which means ‘Sign’; since, everything in the universe rather عل is derived from عال

the universe itself is a sign that there is One Who created it. Other than Allah, everything is World. There are eighteen thousand worlds; such as, the world of Genies, the world of

Souls, the world of Angels, etc The area of the Paradise: The Earth and skies together just like particles… The depth of the Hell: Seventy years

Surah Ikhlas verse 1:

و الل احد ہ�قل ہ�Proclaim, “He is Allah, He is One.”وسلم Addressing word to the Holy Prophet = قل عليه الله صلىہ�و = Pronoun referring to third person

Commentary ► Nobody is like Him.► No one shares His traits.► No one’s equal to Him.► Nobody is worthy of worship but Him.► He is the Only Lord.► He shares His gender with none (He is not the gender human or any other creation

is.) ► There’s no resemblance to Him.► He is absolutely Singular (i.e. One). There is No partner of His. Allāh وجل is عز

the only Being worthy of worship, He is the Supreme Being Who created the entire cosmos and He rules it absolutely uniquely. There is no similitude to Him and nor is there any second to Him. If truth be told, if anyone seeks to shape some sort of cerebral imagination about Him, they cannot get in touch with triumph

since there is nothing like Him and therefore His Being is beyond humans’ discernment. As is in the holy Quran:

ر ع البص م و الس ء و ش س کمثل ی�ل ی� ہ� ی� ہ� ی�Nothing is Like Him, and He is the All-Hearing, All-seeing.

Surah Baqarah verse 255:م اال الحی القی ی�الل ال� ال رو و ہ# ر� اا ہ�Allāh - none is worthy of worship, except Him, He is Alive (eternally, on His own) and the Sustainer.

=explicitly connotes the Being of the Lord لا��ااال� = Negation word i.e. not, not any…

ر�ال = the one worthy of worship Preposition: used before mentioning the only thing or person about which a = االstatement is not true i.e. apart from ہ�و = Pronoun referring to third person

,Used to make a noun referring to something / somebody specifically; every of something = ال

Commentary ▲ The theological doctrine “Tauĥīd” decoded as '' Monotheism'' is represented by

means of the aforesaid verse of the Holy Qur’ān.▲ The primary component of the verse symbolizes to the Lordship of His

and hence makes us comprehend the vitality of monotheism which is the means for one to get enriched with the remuneration from the

Lord and is the message with which all the messengers were sent by Allah وجل عز

▲ Note that, the word “ ملہ ہا ” doesn’t refer to ‘the every single entity who is worshipped’; [like, some people worship idols and some other universal objects so their act of worshipping doesn’t make such objects to be the one called “ ملہ ہا ”] yet, this specific word refers to ‘the One Who originally and solely deserves to be worshipped’ and it is only Allah. Each and every miniature object as well as the gigantic one found in this universe has been created by none but Allah. The terminology ‘worship’ signifies to the action of ‘showing such humbleness that one does not demonstrate to anyone’ therefore it is only Allah to whom such humbleness has to be shown and hence it will be called worship.

▲ As regards the rest part of the verse mentioned right at the beginning, the phrase “ الحی ������وم ���ق���ی ال ی�������� ” refers to His mortality; He is Alive eternally, on His own and is the Sustainer of others. It is Him who causes others to be; no one causes Him to be. His characteristics reach to such acme of excellence which has no limit; nor ending.

▲ {Part 3, Chapter 2, Section 34, verse 255}▲ And it is Him Who can give life to whomever He wills that too

whenever; and can cease their life whenever He wills. As the holy verse says:

▲ یویمی�ت یح ��������ی��������والل��� ��������ہ ہand Allah gives life and causes death;{Part 4, Chapter 3, Section 17, verse 156}

▲ As is the component in the fourth Article of Faith recited by Muslims:▲ ابد ابدا الیموت حئ وھو یمیت و یحی

Therefore we believe that He is Alive on his own and He gives life to whomsoever and whatsoever, whenever He wants; in addition, He gives demise to whomsoever and whatsoever, whenever He wants. He has been forever and will remain forever; death will never meet him.

As regards attributes, one of His attributes is of much significance that He is ‘Wâjib-ul-Wůjůd’ which means that His existence is necessary at all times. Why this point is of enormous worth because not believing Him to be in existence all the times makes one suffer from the offense of Polytheism which is also caused if one believes someone Eternal (al-Qadim) other than Allah or if they believe that He is not Eternal (al-Qadim). Believing any being other than Him to be worthy of worship also leads one to Polytheism. One must believe that ''He begot none nor was He begotten'' so that one keeps themself from Polytheism.

The Precision

How peculiar dwelling the world is!Scores of hassles as well as bliss!

Many callous lessons given by timeSo much harsh and sore than a lime

Loads of ordeals, possesses the LifeIncisive like the edge of a flick-knife

The death may be seen on the horizonAutocratic and astringent ‘tis not fun

Grave’s set between the world and hereafterNo gullible can escape it no more can a master

The one who builds castle in the airNever romps home, just falls in rear

Desires feel delicate after the fashion of furNailing my colours to the mast, they’re bur

If only there exists no wish for the crownI wish I wasn’t born nor I’d been grown

Innate Adoring (sonnet)

Extremely bright up here hill’s core To my eyes the sunbeams dazzle  Shut the lid, be not worn to a frazzle  Up on the mound, up on the moor Doth springs a young wanton deerSeeking the nectar as glideth a bee Finding a blossom perching on a tree With not any worry, neither with fearStands far still there is a doeGlances motherly at the calf fluffy To mother the toddler, calls for a lick

As mother kisses the infantile browBeams swiftly the teeny-weeny puffy And clings to the chief making it pick

DolphinsAquatic-creatures are one of the astonishing fractions of the universe. There are innumerable varieties of animals found in oceans. Fish is one of them. Fish is manifestly different than other animals in a number of aspects. There are a few animals that are said to be friends of humans and Dolphin is one out of those human’s brutal acquaintance. Dolphins are mammals and are from the kin of whales.  They differ in size and hence grow between one meter and nine and half meters. They weigh half of a tonne to a minimum to ten tonnes to a maximum. There are said to be more than seventy species of this creature sailing in the waters. Since, they are carnivorous therefore they do not tend to swallow any herbaceous objects which probably nauseate dolphins as a result they devour flesh. Dolphins feed their young ones on milk. Akin to other mammals, dolphins are warm blooded. Interesting to know that a dolphin does not breathe through gills yet it breathes air using lungs this is why they inhabit in the shallows. A dolphin makes recurrent sprees to the surface of water to breathe and for this purpose it uses the blowhole on top of its cranium functioning as "nose". They are often seen surfacing and ducking manically. The manful maneuver while protecting their calves from being assaulted is well worth watching. It can even play the assaulter false if ever assailed by weightier than it and thus can promptly make itself a runaway from the toils. The feminine’s growth is slower; in addition, their life is shorter than masculine’s, by and large. A dolphin does not slumber to an entire extent. A dolphin goes to catnap with one eyes closed; however, this hypothesis is not fully agreed on. A dolphin’s sleep lasts for one-third part of a day. This rumbustious fish squeaks in a sound like that of whistle. As compare to other nautical brutes, dolphin’s echolocation clacks are thought to be the deafening resonance, as can be for other fellows navigating nearby. They are encompassed with kind of social behavior among themselves such as helping the other associates of the clique in feeding by getting them a catch. They also help their watery mates to surface in case one finds itself unable to climb up to the exterior of the waterway. Dolphins, not being martinet though, are believed to coach their juveniles on how to employ naval tools. The dolphin is a smart marine figure which bears a light-hearted stance chiefly towards humans as a consequence of which it has become extraordinarily famed. For this reason, Dolphin’s Shows have gathered an exceptional fame around the globe and are very much liked.

My Pencil

Hola! Excuse me. That’s Spanish. I often start speaking it. Hello!

Hi! Guys… Comes’tes? Ummmm… Not again, man!!! How are you? You know me? No? Uh! Let me introduce myself.

I am Pencil. Don’t be surprised I didn’t use ‘a’ before my name because I am not a common pencil. Can a pencil who fled from the box of a mischievous lad be an ordinary one? You said ‘No’? That’s great! I’ll tell you what a bad boy the owner of mine was! Bad boy!

Wait a minute… aren’t we backbiting? So sorry! Let’s just forget the owner. Shall I tell you the story of mine? Yes? Ok. It might sound staid though, yet if truth be told it’s exceptionally knowledge giving. All right. Off we go.

I unlike you have an opposite structure. Flesh inside the bone, not on it.

Strange to you? Yes, it should really be. I’ve got bone made of wood. I stand on a single bone or maybe I lie in box or whatever. My flesh is made of an allotrope of carbon ‘Graphite’ a metal. Don’t ask me in detail what that is on the grounds that I am a pencil not a chemistry teacher, right! Nevertheless, what I know in recapitulation is that it is dissimilar to diamond, which is carbon trope too, graphite is an electrical conductor. This is not that conductor who you pay fare while traveling in a bus. What a conductor means your physics instructor will let you know better than. My ‘physic’ is already weak. Shhh… don’t laugh. Let me complete. I am a motor mouth, aren’t I? I know I necessitate to shape up for the reason that one isn’t supposed to be a chatterbox. What they say, ‘The less you speak, the less you err!’ Anyway, prior to other stages, the combination of graphite and wax mixture is extruded through a container which forms the soft clay into a solid shape. You know how terribly it aches when they push me in; and then I am cut in precise measurements. I feel like crying… See? Pain over pain…; and above all I am put into an oven to be dried. You can’t imagine how severely I thirst for chill water. It’s generous of them to finally varnish me which quenches my thirst and which later leaves a hard shiny transparent surface on me. A nice dress to wear! They know that some kids… excuse me, not talking about you I’m talking about those who don’t practice writing regularly, some kids will ultimately make

mistakes while writing or maybe they’ll misshape the alphabets consequently they, the creators I mean, attach an Eraser to me in a "ferrule” a round metal case that perches on the top of me . One last thing that the company logo is also in the end printed on me. It’s just like you stamp your name onto the notebook to make it look prominent.

Ah! You see? How sore process I go through before I come into your fingers. I bear severe agony; but for whom??? For you my buddies just for you!!! But you… you peel my skin over and over as if you need whole of the graphite to turn into rows, columns, numerals or diagram in a single blow. That’s not good my friends. Please… I implore you to take care of me and remember: “The one who benefits you ought to be given importance lest you should lose them and then as a consequence you regret having become empty-handed.”

Thus, I hope you promise to take care of me. Yes ? That’s good !

Fine then see you later. ‘Bye!’

Wait!!! While leaving, rather than saying ‘Bye’ we’re supposed to say Fī Amānillāh, aren’t we ?

So, Fī Amānillāh!!!
