| PERSONALITY |
JALAL
AL-DIN RUMI (1207-1273 AD)
-------------------------------------
Jalal al-Din Mohammad Ibn Mohammad Ibn Mohammad Ibn Husain
al-Rumi was born in 604 AH (1207/8 A.D.) at Balkh (now Afghanistan).
His father Baha al-Din was a renowned religious scholar. Under
his patronage, Rumi received his early education from Syed
Burhan-al-Din. When his age was about 18 years, the family
(after several migrations) finally settled at Konya and at
the age of 25, Rumi was sent to Aleppo for advanced education
and later to Damascus. Rumi continued with his education till
he was 40 years old, although on his father's death Rumi succeeded
him as a professor in the famous Madrasah at Konya at the
age of about 24 years. He received his mystical training first
at the hands of Syed Burhan al-Din and later he was trained
by Shams al-Din Tabriz. He became famous for his mystical
insight, his religious knowledge and as a Persian poet. He
used to teach a large number of pupils at his Madressa and
also founded the famous Maulvi Order in Tasawwuf. He died
in 672 A.H. (1273 A.D.) at Konya, which subsequently became
a sacred place for dancing derveshes of the Maulvi Order.
His
major contribution lies in Islamic philosophy and Tasawwuf.
This was embodied largely in poetry, especially through his
famous Mathnawi. This book, the largest mystical exposition
in verse, discusses and offers solutions to many complicated
problems in metaphysics, religion, ethics, mysticism, etc.
Fundamentally, the Mathnawi highlights the various hidden
aspects of Sufism and their relationship with the worldly
life. For this, Rumi draws on a variety of subjects and derives
numerous examples from every- day life. His main subject is
the relationship between man and God on the one hand, and
between man and man, on the other.
Apart
from the Mathnaui, he also wrote his Diwan (collection of
poems) and Fihi-Ma-Fih (a collection of mystical sayings).
However, it is the Mathnawi itself that has largely transmitted
Rumi's message. Soon after its completion, other scholars
started writing detailed commentaries on it, in order to interpret
its rich propositions on Tasawwuf, Metaphysics and Ethics.
Several commentaries in different languages have been written
since then.
His
impact on philosophy, literature, mysticism and culture, has
been so deep throughout Central Asia and most Islamic countries
that almost all religious scholars, mystics, philosophers,
sociologists and others have referred to his verses during
all these centuries since his death. Most difficult problems
in these areas seem to get simplified in the light of his
references. His message seems to have inspired most of the
intellectuals in Central Asia and adjoining areas since his
time, and scholars like Iqbal have further developed Rumi's
concepts. The Mathnawi became known as the interpretation
of the Quran in the Pahlavi language. He is one of the few
intellectuals and mystics whose views have so profoundly affected
the world-view in its higher perspective in large parts of
the Islamic World. |

satisfaction with the processing of applications of asylum
seekers in Musina, Limpopo.
Three
men have been found guilty by a UK court of plotting to commit
murder using liquid explosives. Abdulla Ahmed Ali, Assad Sarwar
and Tanvir Hussain were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court
in London of conspiring to murder hundreds of people in 2006.
The jury failed to reach verdicts on four other defendants
- Ibrahim Savant, Arafat Waheed Khan, Waheed Zaman and Umar
Islam. An eighth man, Mohammed Gulzar, was found not guilty
on all counts.

| FIQH |
If
a fibre of meat or fragments etc is stuck in the teeth. Due
to the cleansing of the teeth, the fibre releases itself from
in between the teeth and the person eats it. However, he does
not remove it from his mouth. It goes down his throat on its
own. If this fibre is less than the size of a gram-seed, the
fast will not break. If it is equal to or more than the size
of a gram-seed, the fast will break.
However,
if the person removed this fibre from his mouth and thereafter
swallowed it, his fast will break irrespective of whether
it was smaller or larger than a gram-seed. In both cases the
fast will break.

| A THOUGHT |
ATOMS
-------
Do you know what an atom is? We can compare the atoms to
marbles. But these marbles would be too tiny, unlike anything
you have seen before.
Now, look around you! Everything that you see in reality
is made of these marbles, namely the atoms. The chair on
which you are sitting, the book in your hand, your mother,
your teacher at school, apples, melons, and the chocolates
in the kitchen, your pet, water, the flowers in your garden,
toys, and even your body, all are made up of these atoms.
The stars and suns that make up the universe and the world
in which we live are also formed of atoms just like you.
In all the places in which you go about and all the corners
that you turn, there are atoms.
You cannot see these little things that we call atoms, because
they are a lot smaller than you can imagine. They are so
small that even with the largest microscopes, it isn’t possible
to see even one of them. To be able to comprehend the tiny
size of the atom, look at this example:
Imagine that you have a key in your hand. Without a doubt,
it is impossible for you to see the atoms that make up this
key. If you say, “I must see these atoms”, then you must
visualise the key to be as large as earth. If you were able
to visualise the key to be as large as earth then every
atom inside it would be as large as cherries and so you
could see them.
