Khudi Teri Musalman Kyun Nahin Hai
Why is there no storm in your sea?
Why is your Khudi not Muslim?
Tu Khud Taqdeer-E-Yazdan Kyun Nahin Hai?
It is pointless to complain of God’s decree –
Why are you not God’s decree?
(Armaghan-e-Hijaz-19) Tere Darya Mein Toofan Kyun Nahin Hai (تیرے دریا میں طوفان کیوں نہیں ہے ) Why is there no storm in your sea?

Wassalaam,
ReplyDeleteIt means that the true believer should achieve such a level of certainty and faith in God that his every thought and action is in harmony with the decree of God, and, consequently, God's every decree is in agreement with his every desire. The point that Allama Iqbal is driving home is the need to achieve kamil imaan and tawakkul in Allah before one can expect one's wishes and desires to manifest before one's eyes, and that once one achieves utter and total faith and certainty in Allah, one's deepest aspirations will certainly become realities.
Another important thing that this line perhaps alludes to is that man is God's representative on Earth (as stated in the Qur'an). In this sense, he is God's decree, exalted and ennobled above all other creation. He has to realize and become cognizant of his status as the representative of God in order for him to achieve his magnificent potential.

ReplyDeleteCan someone explain last two lines (if possible with word explanation)
ReplyDeleteIt means that it's useless to object over God's decree, if you want something then why not become God's decree, in other words, he prefers and insists us to be proactive, be responsible and stop blaming fate for things that go wrong instead learn from them and believe in Allah
