What is spirituality and how to nurture it?

yeh matlab hai iska. apa, yeh ek sawal bheja hai kashmir se aasim abbasi sahab ne. unhone aapse poocha hai ke roohaniyat kya hai? is ke bare mein kuch batayein. asal mein ek hai insaan ka physical self aur ek hai spiritual self. body and soul ka majmooa hai insaan. to hum kya kar rahe hain? body ko to khoob khoob feed karte hain aur soul ko feed nahi karte hain. to isi soul ko jab hum feed karenge, woh isi se hota hai ke Khuda ki baatein karein, Khuda quran padhein, is ko samjhein aur Khuda se taalluq banayein, duaayein karein. to yeh sab isi mein ghaur o fikr karein. to is se jo hum ko jo is spiritual provision milta hai, spiritual food milta hai, wahi roohaniyat hai.

to humein chahiye ke musalsal is mein apna waqt lagayein, apna dhyan lagayein aur need based life. jo Maulana keh dete hain: "simple living, high thinking." to bas wahi hum logon ko guzarna hoga, need based life aur baqi tamam waqt jo hai, woh marifat mein guzarna hai. to yahi roohaniyat hai. to Maulana, woh woh roohaniyat jo tasawwuf wali hai, us ko nahi mante the kyunke woh to sirf hamein extasy tak le jati hai. woh ek spiritual, ek trance hota hai. isi ko woh roohaniyat samajhte hain. roohaniyat yeh nahi hai. roohaniyat hamein spiritual food, intellectual food jo hamein milta hai, Khuda ki baaton mein ghaur o fikr karne se aur Khuda ki jo nishaniyan kainat mein hain, us mein ghaur o fikr karne se jo spiritual food milta hai, woh us se hamari roohaniyat, yani hamari soul, musalsal taraqqi karti rehti hai.

to woh taraqqi karte karte is mein phir hum ko marifat hasil hone lag jati hai. jaise Hazrat Maryam ke paas jab Hazrat Zakariya aate the to woh kehte the ke tum ko yeh sab rizq kahan se milta hai? to log samajhte nahi. log samajhte the koi baqayda tafseeron mein likha hua hai ke tray mein phal rakh rakh ke jannat se aate the. ab aap sochiye ke paighambaron, paighambar bhooka rehta tha, us ke liye to tray mein phal nahi aaye. to Hazrat Maryam ke liye phal aate the. to balkeh woh spiritual food hota tha. Maulana ne likha hai ke woh spiritual food hota tha. is ko woh kehte the tum ko yeh rizq kahan se milta hai?

to ab woh to full time ibadat mein lagi rehti thi. to jo bhi aisa karega, Allah Ta'ala ko apne tamam bando se equal mohabbat hai. yeh nahi ke kisi ke liye hai, kisi ke liye nahi hai. to jo bhi Allah ke liye apne aap ko waqf karega, Allah ki baaton ko samajhne ke liye poora dhyan lagayega, to us ko spiritual food milega. aur wahi jo hai, wahi roohaniyat hai. islam, quraani roohaniyat wahi hai. saadi zindagi guzarni chahiye. is par ek hadith mujhe yaad aa rahi hai, woh mein sunata hoon: "man ahabb dunya

akhratahu ma yafqah" ke jo apni dunya ko zyada chahega, woh apni akhirat ko nuqsan pohanchayega. aur jo apni akhirat ko zyada chahega, woh apni dunya ko nuqsan pohanchayega. to jo hamesha baqi rehni hai, us ko tarjeeh do in cheezon par jo fana hone wali hain, khatam hone wali hain. to rabbaniyat ya rohaniyat, rohaniyat ko hi quran mein rabbaniyat kaha gaya hai. rabbaniyat yahi cheez hai ke hamara soul concern hona chahiye, akhirat ko yaad karna, akhirat ko tarjeeh dena hona chahiye. ek waqia yaad aata hai hazrat umar r.a. ka, un ki khilafat ke zamane ka waqia hai ke ek sahab gaye aur un ko kafi bura bhala kehne lage, jo galat tha, magar fact nahi tha.

to hazrat umar ko ghussa aaya. to us us waqt wahan par ek aur sahab khade hue the, unhone kaha: "afi ka mamla kijiye aur jo nadan hai, us se darguzar kijiye." yeh sunna tha ke hazrat umar bilkul thande ho gaye. yahi cheez akhirat ko yaad karna hai. rohaniyat yahi cheez hai ke jahan hukum aaye ke khuda ka yeh hukum hai, hum bilkul thande ho jayein. hum apne jo jazbat hamare hain, woh thande ho jane chahiye. asal cheez jo honi chahiye, woh allah aur allah ki yaad aur akhirat ki zindagi honi chahiye hamari. apa, yeh kuch comment parhna chahunga.

yeh comment bheja hai miss sofia akhtar ne. unhone likha hai: "jazak allah khair, aap a. aap ne hamein akhirat ki yaad dilai. hamein do kaam zaroor karne hain: pehla, zyada se zyada quran samajhna aur doosron tak pohanchana hai. doosra, positive friendly environment banana hai. allah hamein distract hone se bachayein, hamein aur naseehat karein." yeh comment bheja hai maulana yaqoob umri ne dilli se. unhone likha hai: "jazak allah, aap

a, for the motivational lecture and making us remember our responsibility towards our self and humanity. creating dawah friendly environment is the responsibility of every muslim, uh that that he should do." apa, yeh aakhri sawal lena chahunga aaj ka. yeh bheja hai muhammad mustafa sahab ne. unhone location nahi likhi hai. unka sawal hai:
