Zindagi ka Maqsad – Ek Bhooli Hui Haqeeqat

Ta’aruf: Wujood ka Sawaal

---

Insaan ke wujood ka asal maqsad kya hai? Hum is zameen par kyun bheje gaye hain? Humein apni zindagi ke saath kya karna chahiye?

Yeh woh sawal nahi jo kisi kutte, billi, gai, sher, cheenti ya cockroach ko pareshan karta ho. Billi jaanti hai ke usay kya karna hai, gai bhi apna farz jaanti hai, cheenti apna kaam karti hai, aur isi tarah suraj aur chaand bhi apni zindagi ko usi maqsad ke liye sarf karte hain jis ke liye unhein paida kiya gaya. Yeh makhlooq apne wujood ka sabab samajhte hain aur apni zindagi usi maqsad ko poora karne mein guzar dete hain.

Magar sirf insaan hi yeh sawal uthata hai ke “meri zindagi ka asal maqsad kya hai?” Humein ehsaas hota hai ke hum dusri makhlooq se alag hain. Halanke hum bhi jaanwaron ki tarah khate, peete aur nasal aage barhate hain, lekin hamare zehan mein yeh buniyadi sawal uthta hai: hum is duniya mein kyon aaye aur hamare wujood ka asal sabab kya hai?

Falsafi aur Nazariati Jawabaat

---

Har deen, har nazariya aur har falsafa apne tareeqay se is buniyadi sawal ka jawab dene ki koshish karta hai.

Aam tor par aaj hum ek nihayat mawad-parast aur be-deen duniya mein zindagi guzar rahe hain. Hindustan, England, France aur ziada-tar maghribi European jamhooriyat apne aap ko secular states ke taur par pesh karti hain. Soviet Union ne khud ko khule taur par ek la-deeni, communist mu‘ashra qarar diya jiska nazariya sirf aur sirf mawad-parasti par mabni tha. Ek secular mu‘ashra deen ko tasleem to karta hai, magar is par israar bhi karta hai ke deen ko riyasat ke mamlon mein dakhal andazi nahi karni chahiye.

Jab bhi England ke siyasatdan yeh da‘wa karte hain ke mu‘ashra Masihi (christian) usoolon par mabni hai, asal haqiqat yeh hai ke buniyadi nazariya mawad-parasti hi hai. Duniya ke ziada-tar mumalik aur mu‘ashray ka bhi yahi haal hai.

Maddi Tafheem ya Soch ke Mutabiq Zindagi ka Maqsad

---

Madiyat pasand muashra kehta hai ke zindagi ka maqsad sirf zindagi khud hai. Is soch ke mutabiq, hamari wujood ka sabab yeh hai ke hum apni jismani zindagi ka maza lein aur use behtareen banayein yahan aur abhi. Khushi aur tasalli ka zariya samjha jata hai madi cheezein hasil karna.

Yeh soch evolution ki theory se aur mazboot hoti hai, jo insaan ko madi nizam mein hi rakhti hai. Is ke mutabiq, hum random mutation aur natural selection ka nateeja hain. Khuda ya Khaaliq ki koi zaroorat nahi samjhi jati. Insaniyat ko ek bandar jese ajdaad se aaya hua mana jata hai, aur is liye hamari zindagi jaanwaron se zyada kuch nahi samjhi jati.

Agar jaanwar khanay, rehne ki jaga aur nasal barhane se khush hain, to insaan ko bhi yahi cheezein kafi samjhi jati hain. Is liye, madiyat kehti hai ke apni khwahishat aur jazbaat ko pura karke insaan khushi hasil karta hai.

Halaanke hum mein se bohot se log daawa karte hain ke hum deen ki pairwi karte hain, asal mein zyada tar log madi maqasid ki ibadat karte hain. Hum samajhte hain ke khushi maal, rutba, fashion aur aaraam mein hai. Aur logon ka rujhan hota hai ke “khuda” us cheez ko maan lein jo unhein unki khwahishat puri karwaye — chahe woh murti ho, insaan ho, paisa, taaqat, shohrat ya fashion.

Rasul Allah (ﷺ) ne humein paisay, fashion aur duniya ki cheezon ki ibadat karne se roka, kyunke yeh jhoote khuda ban jate hain jin par log apna bharosa aur umeed rakhte hain. Yehi woh cheez hai jiske bare mein Islam humein chetavani deta hai, aur iske badle humein asal aur Haqeeqi Allah Ta’ala ka wazeh tasawwur deta hai.

Islam aur Asal Maqsad e Zindagi

---

Islam maanta hai ke log bohot si cheezon ki ibadat karte hain, lekin yeh sab jhoote khuda hain. Asal aur Haqeeqi Khuda sirf Allah hai, jo sab ka Khaaliq aur Paalne Wala hai.

The Qur’an clarifies this in the verse: “Main ne jinnaat or insaan ko mehez isi liye paida kya hai ke woh sirf meri ibadat karein” (51:56). Isi tarah, Allah farmata hai: “hum ne har ummat mein rasool bheja ke ( logon! ) sirf Allah ki ibadat karo aur is ke siwa tamam mabodon se bachcho” (16:36).

Is se yeh sabit hota hai ke zindagi ka asal maqsad sirf Allah ki ibadat karna hai — sirf rasmon rivaaj se nahi, balki us par bharosa, umeed aur yaqeen rakh kar, aur aisi zindagi guzar kar jo Allah ko pasand aur raazi karne wali ho.

Ibadat ki Sahi Samajh

---

Ibadah ka matlab Arabi zubaan mein hai apne aap ko jhuka dena aur farma’bardari karna. Arab log jumla ‘tareeq mu’abbad’ istemal karte hain us raaste ke liye jo bohot paon chalne ki wajah se bilkul seedha aur hamwar ho gaya ho.

Islami istilah mein ‘ibadah’ ka lafz do ma’no mein istemal hota hai:

Insaan ke aamal, jaise namaz parhna ya zakat dena, jo ‘ibadah’ kehlate hain. Ulama ne iski yeh tareef ki hai: Allah ki ita’at karna us cheez ko anjaam de kar jo Usne hukm diya hai, aur us cheez se bach kar jo Usne mana ki hai, saath hi Allah se mohabbat karna, Us se darna aur apni umeedein Us par rakhna.

Ye lafz khud aamal ke liye bhi aata hai, jaise namaz, zakat waghera. Ulama ne iski yeh tareef ki hai: yeh ek wasee’ lafz hai jo un sab baton aur aamal ko shaamil karta hai jinhein Allah pasand karta hai aur jinse Woh raazi hota hai, chahe woh zahiri hon ya dil ke andar ke.

Ye jo hukm diye gaye aamal hain unhein ibadaat (bandagi ke kaam) kaha jata hai, kyunke log unhein apne Rab ke liye, mohabbat aur inkisari ke saath karte hain. Allah ki ibadat mein poori mohabbat bhi honi chahiye aur poori farma’bardari bhi.

Hamare Rab ne humein bataya hai ke jin aur insaan ki takhleeq ka asal maqsad yeh hai ke woh sirf Uski ibadat karein, bina kisi shareek ke. Allah farmata hai: “Main ne jinnaat or insaan ko mehez isi liye peda kya hai ke woh sirf meri ibadat karein” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56].

Rasm o Rivaj se Pare: Rozmarrah Zindagi mein Ibadat

---

Hum is maqsad ko kaise hasil karein aur is hadaf ko kaise pura karein?

Bohot se log samajhte hain ke ‘ibadah sirf kuch rasmon ko karna ka naam hai jo Allah ne muqarrar waqt par karne ka hukm diya hai – jaise namaz, roza aur Hajj – aur bas baat khatam. Lekin asal mein yeh aisa nahi hai jaise yeh log sochte hain.

Socho, din aur raat mein in ibadat ko karne mein kitna waqt lagta hai? Insan ki poori zindagi mein bhi yeh kitna waqt leta hai? To phir uski zindagi ka baqi hissa kya hoga? Uski energy aur uska waqt ka kya banega? Kya woh sab bhi ibadat mein lagana chahiye ya kisi aur cheez mein?

Agar insaan apna waqt ibadat ke siwa kisi aur cheez mein guzarega, to phir woh kaise us maqsad ko pura karega jiske liye insaan ko paida kiya gaya — jise Qur’an ki is ayat ne sirf Allah ki ibadat tak mehdood kar diya hai? Woh kaise Allah ke kalam ko pura karega:

“aap farma dijiye ke bil-yaqeen meri namaz aur meri saari ibadat aur mera jeena aur mera marna yeh sab khalis Allah hi ka hai jo saaray Jahan ka maalik hai” [al-An’aam 6:162].

Uboodiyyah ek poora nizaam hai jo Musalman ki puri zindagi ko apne andar le leta hai.

Zindagi ke Har Pehlu mein Ibadat

---

Jab insaan rozi ki talash mein zameen par koshish karta hai to woh Allah ki ibadat kar raha hota hai, kyunke Allah ne is ka hukm diya hai, jaise ke Woh farmata hai: “… is ki raahon mein chaltay phirtay raho aur Allah ki روزیاں khao ( piyo ) isi ki taraf ( tumhe ) jee kar uth khara hona hai” [al-Mulk 67:15].

Jab insaan sota hai to woh is liye sota hai taake Allah ki ibadat ke liye taaqat jama kar sake. Jaise Mu‘aaz ibn Jabal (ra) ne kaha: “Main apni neend se bhi ajar ki umeed rakhta hoon, bilkul usi tarah jaise main qiyaam-ul-lail se rakhta hoon” (narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4342).

Darhaqeeqat, Musalman tab tak mutmain nahi hota jab tak uske khane, peene aur shadi-shuda taluqaat ki khushi bhi uske nek aamal mein shumar na ho jaye. Jaise Rasoolullah (ﷺ) ne farmaya: “Tum mein se kisi ka apni biwi se ta’alluq (hum bistari) rakhna bhi sadaqah hai”. Sahaba ne pucha: “Ya Rasoolullah, kya agar hum apni khwahishat puri karte hain to bhi humein ajar milta hai?”

Aap ﷺ ne farmaya: “Tumhara kya khayal hai, agar tum yeh kaam haram tareeqe se karte to kya gunah na milta?'” Unhon ne kaha: “Ji haan”. Aap ﷺ ne farmaya: “Isi tarah agar woh isay halal tareeqe se kare to usay ajar milta hai.” (Muslim, 1006).

Lagataar Allah ka Zikr aur Tauba

---

Insaan is izzat wali martaba tak tab pohanchta hai jab woh zindagi ke har pehlu mein apne Rab ka zikr dil mein rakhta hai. Usey sochna chahiye ke uske aamal Allah ki raza ka sabab ban rahe hain ya uske gusse ka.

Agar uske aamaal Allah ki raza ka sabab ban rahe hain to usey Allah ka shukar ada karna chahiye aur aur zyada nek kaam karne ki koshish karni chahiye. Lekin agar woh samajh jaye ke uske aamal ghalat hain to fauran Allah ki taraf rujoo kare, us se maafi maange aur sachche dil se tauba kare.

Allah kehta hai:

“aur woh ke jab koi khula gunah ya –apne haq mein koi aur buraiee kar baithtay hain to kkhuda ko yaad karte aur –apne gunaaho ki bakhshish mangte hain aur kkhuda ke siwa gunah bakhash bhi kon sakta hai? aur jaan boojh kar –apne af-aal par uray nahi rehtay. Aisay hi logon ka sila parvar-digaar ki taraf se bakhshish aur baagh hain jin ke neechay nehrein beh rahi hain ( aur ) woh un mein hamesha baste rahen ge aur ( achay ) kaam karne walon ka badla bohat acha hai” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:135-136].

Zindagi ka Maqsad aur Salaf-us-Saliheen ki Misal

---

Yeh ibadat ka tasawwur hamare saleh buzurgon, yani Salaf aur unke baad aane walon ka tha. Unhon ne ibadat ko sirf rasmon tak mehdood nahi kiya, aur na hi zindagi ke baqi hisson ko ibadat se alag samjha.

Balke har ek ne apni puri zindagi ko ibadat samjha. Rasmi ibadaat unke liye khaas lamhe thay jahan woh apna dhyaan jama karte, roohani taur par taqat lete, taa ke woh baqi sab ibadaat anjaam dein jo Allah ne farz ki hain. Isi wajah se woh in rasmon ka bohot khayal rakhte thay, jaise ek musafir apni safar ki tayyari aur samaan ka ehtiyaat se khayal rakhta hai.

Woh waise hi thay jaise unke Rab ne unka zikr kiya: “jo kharray aur baithy aur letey ( har haal mein ) kkhuda ko yaad karte …” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:191].

Ibadat aur Shaytan ke Khilaf Juhud

---

Yeh samajhna chahiye ke insaan fitratan ibadat ke liye paida kiya gaya hai. Ibadat uski fitrat ka hissa hai. Is liye, insaan ya to apni ibadat sirf Allah ke liye karega, bina kisi shareek ke, warna woh kisi aur cheez ki ibadat karne lagega.

Asal mein aisi ghalat ibadat ko Allah ne ‘Shaytaan ki ibadat’ kaha hai, kyunke yeh asal mein Shaytaan ki dawat ko qabool karna hai.

Allah kehta hai: “Ae aadam ki aulaad hum ne tum se keh nahi diya tha ke shaitan ko nah poojna? woh tumhara khula dushman hai” [Yaa-Seen 36:60].

Insaan ek waqt mein Allah aur Shaytaan dono ki ibadat nahi kar sakta:

“bhala jo shakhs chalta hua monh ke bal gir parta hai woh seedhay raste par hai ya woh jo seedhay raste par barabar chal raha ho?” [al-Mulk 67:22].

“… ( yeh bhi ) pucho kya andha aur aankhon wala barabar hain? ya andhera aur Ujala barabar ho sakta hai? …” [al-Ra’d 13:16].

Shaytaan insaan ko dheere dheere Allah ki ibadat se door le jane ki koshish karta hai. Kabhi kabhi woh kuch waqt ke liye kamyab ho jata hai, jaise gunah ke waqt. Jaise Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya: “Koi bhi jo zina karta hai, woh us waqt momin nahi hota jab woh zina kar raha ho, aur koi chor us waqt momin nahi hota jab woh chori kar raha ho…” (Bukhari, 2475; Muslim, 57).

Aur kabhi kabhi Shaytaan poori tarah kamyab ho jata hai aur insaan ka Rab se rishta tod deta hai, taa ke woh shirk, kufr ya gumraahi mein gir jaye — aur hum Allah ki panaah maangte hain.

Nafsani Khwahishat ki Ibadat

---

Shaytaan ki ibadat kabhi khwahishat ki ibadat ki shakal mein hoti hai, jaise Allah farmata hai: “kya tum ne is shakhs ko dekha jis ne khwahish-e-nafs ko mabood bana rakha hai? toe kya tum is par nigehbaan ho sakte ho?” [al-Furqaan 25:43].

Jo shakhs sirf apni khwahishat ke peeche chalta hai — jo cheez usey achhi lage usey apnata hai aur jo buri lage usse chhod deta hai — asal mein woh apne nafs ki baaton ko maan raha hota hai.

Aisa karte hue goya woh apni khwahishat ki ibadat karta hai jaise koi shakhs kisi khuda ki ibadat karta hai. Kabhi yeh ghalat ibadat maal ki ibadat ki shakal mein saamne aati hai, jaise Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya: “Halak ho dinar ka ghulaam, dirham ka ghulaam aur kapdon ka ghulaam; agar usey diya jaye to khush ho jata hai, aur agar na diya jaye to naraaz ho jata hai…” (Bukhari, 2887).

Ibadat ka Jami’ Mizaj

---

Yeh tasawwur har us shakhs par laagu hota hai jiska dil Allah ke siwa kisi aur cheez se chipak jaye aur jo apni khwahishat ke peeche chalne lage. Agar usay apni pasandida cheez mil jaye to woh khush ho jata hai, aur agar na mile to pareshan ho jata hai.

Haqeeqat mein woh apni khwahishat ka ghulaam ban jata hai, kyunke asal ibadat dil ke jhukne mein hai. Jitni zyada insaan ki lagao khwahishat se hogi, utni kamzor uski Allah ke liye ibadat aur farma’bardari hogi.

‘Ibadah’ ek wasee’ lafz hai. Is mein woh sab aamal shamil hain — andar ke bhi aur bahar ke bhi — jinhein Allah pasand karta hai aur jinse woh raazi hota hai.

Dil ke aamal, jaise niyyah (irada), mohabbat, umeed aur bharosa — sab ibadat hain. Agar yeh Allah ke liye hon to momin ka martaba buland hota hai, lekin agar yeh kahin aur lagayein to shirk ban jata hai. Isi tarah zahiri aamal — jaise namaz, roza, Hajj, ache akhlaaq aur neik rawayya — yeh bhi ibadat hain.

Is tarah, ibadat zindagi ke har pehlu ko shaamil karti hai. Aur zindagi ka asal maqsad yeh hai ke hum apne dil aur aamal ko un cheezon ke mutabiq banaein jo Allah ko pasand hain, aur un cheezon se bachain jo Allah ko nafrat hain.

Asal Zindagi ka Maqsad

---

Rasoolullah ﷺ ne is zindagi ko khoobsurati ke saath ek safar ke taur par bayan kiya. Aap ﷺ ne farmaya: ‘Mera duniya se kya lena dena? Main to ek sawar ki tarah hoon jo ek darakht ke saaye ke neeche aram karta hai, phir apna safar jari rakhta hai.” (at-Tirmidhi 2377)

Yeh duniya hamari manzil nahi hai. Yeh sirf ek aisi chand roz wali jagah hai jahan hum apne asal safar ke liye samaan jama karte hain — yani neik aamal. Asal manzil aakhirat hai, jahan ya to Jannat hogi ya Dozakh.

Haqeeqat yeh hai ke duniya ki zindagi chhoti aur guzarne wali hai. Insaan dhoka kha jata hai jab woh samajhta hai ke duniya ki kamiyabi hi asal manzil hai.

Zindagi ka asal maqsad Allah ki ibadat karna, uski hidayat par chalna aur maut ke baad ke hamesha ke safar ki tayyari karna hai. Yehi samajh insaan ko asal sukoon, itminan aur zindagi ka asal maqsad deta hai.

Allah ne humein paida karne ki sabse badi wajah — jo sabse bara imtihaan bhi hai — yeh hai ke hum uski Wahdaniyat (Tawheed) ka iqraar karein aur sirf usi ki ibadat karein, bina kisi shareek ke.
