Fitrat Ki Gawaahee

There is a need to find out the reasons from nature for the conditions that the Muslims find themselves in. We ask everyone for the same including the ordinary human beings. Let us once request the nature to explain to us why this is the case with the Faithful. Let us once discuss with the ‘counsellor’ of nature. May be we can get some insight from ‘him’.

Let us ask the nature if we can ever move in the same direction unless we have first decided the direction. Let us ask it if we can operate a complicated and a highly sophisticated machine successfully without a manual (the Book). Let us ask it if going up requires harder work or going down does. Let us ask it how we can multiply the force. Let us ask it what the dissipation of energy is. Let us ask it about the outcome of following its laws.

Let us ask Physics what it suggests if “the force is not in the direction of displacement”. Let us find out what it says about a coolie transporting luggage by carrying it on his head as opposed to putting it on a wheeled cart and pushing it. We may also ask which of these two modes of transporting the luggage is more effective.

I would request the respected members of our Forums – including Mr Sharjeel Ahmad (whose one paragraph I have tried hard to decipher and paraphrase) – to kindly enlighten more on this subject.

I wish I knew more about Physics. To me – as a layman – it is an example of a muslim as it has surrendered to the Will of Almighty. Hence, let us ask this Muslim, too:

poochh us se ke maqbool hai fitrat ki gawaahee

too saaheb-e manzil hai ke bhatkaa huwaa raahee

(Muhammad Iqbal)
