Her lehza hai Momin ki nayi shaan, nayi aan


 By: Allama M. Iqbal

(Meanings: lehza = moment; shaan = grace; aan = dignity; guftaar = speech;kir daar =ch aracter; burhan =reflection ; Qahari =S trict; Anasir =factors ; Hamsaya-e- Jibreel-e-Amin banda-e-khaki = Referring to a true Muslim who is given simile to as worthy as angel Gabriel;Nash-e-mann = premanent residence; jigr-e-lala = flower; shabnam = dew drops; dehel = to tremble; tufan =thu n d er; raaz =s ecret; qari =one who recites)

Translation:
A Muslim true gets grandeur new
with moment’s change and every hour
By words and deeds he gives a proof
Of Mighty God, His reach and power.

To rout the foes, to grant them reprieve,
Do pious deeds and show great might
Are four ingredients that make
A Muslim Devout who shuns not fight.

With Gabriel trusted and steadfast
This clay-born man has kinship close
A dwelling in some land or clime
For himself Muslim never chose.

This secret yet none has grasped
That Muslim Scripture reads so sweet
Practicing rules by it prescribed,
Becomes its pattern quite complete.

The Faithful acts on aims and ends
That Nature keeps before its sight
In world he sifts the good and bad,
In future shall judge wrong and right.

While dealing with friends and mates,
He is dew that thirst of tulip slakes:
When engaged with his foes in fight,
Like torrent strong makes rivers shake.

The charm of Nature’s eternal song
In Muslim’s life, no doubt is found
Like chapter Rahman of the Koran,
Is full of sweet melodious sound.

Such thoughts that shine like lustrous stars
My brain, like workshop, can provide
You can select the star you like,
So that your Fate this star may guide

Mind Control

Mind control (also known as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, thought control, or thought reform) refers to a process in which a group or individual "systematically uses unethically manipulative methods to persuade others to conform to the wishes of the manipulator(s), often to the detriment of the person being manipulated". The term has been applied to any tactic, psychological or otherwise, which can be seen as subverting an individual's sense of control over their own thinking, behavior, emotions or decision making.

There are groups, societies and even governments who try to condition people to follow orders and not think for them. They take humans from a natural life and put them into an artificial world. Mind control is sexual and mental abuse called social engineering.

Mind control is an artificially designed identity. They successfully condition most of humans to memorize data, take orders and not to question. Their past and true culture is erased, repressed or revised.

Today minds are manipulated through pop culture such as music, movies, education, news, porn, drugs and all manner of remote control. There is no free thought, free will or compassion. Media tells what to do, wear, eat and how to act. Distorted sexuality and narcissistic self-image is constantly promoted. Care for the environment is almost totally disregarded. Psychiatrists and councilors advise troubled victims to further compartmentalize their brain, which makes them easier to influence. They are sought for training in jobs to work against their people.

Sexual predators are sent into our lives and communities. In some countries, residential schools are part of this strategy. Mental and sexual abuse tries to separate humans from the natural world and their survival instinct. Humans are to be made incomplete, dysfunctional, to distrust sincere caring people and have difficulty reasoning or remembering. To avoid beatings, torture, death and to forget the horrors, humans have to appear obedient.

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
