ایک کہانی تین نسلوں کی!!!

گزشتہ دنوں میں نے ضلع فیصل آباد کا سفر کیا، وہاں چک نمبر 70 ر۔ب ”گجر سنگھ والا“ میں میری ایک خالہ رہتی تھی، جو سن 2006ء میں اگلے جہاں سدھار گئیں۔ خیال کیا جاتا ہے کہ میری والدہ بھی اسی گاؤں میں (تقریباً 1962ء میں) پیدا ہوئی تھیں ، پنجابی زبان میں والدہ کے میکے کو ”نانکے“ اور اردو میں ننھیال کہا جاتا ہے۔ میرے ننھیال نے تقریباً 1970ء  میں ضلع وہاڑی کی طرف ہجرت کی۔ کچھ وجوہ کی بنا پر انہیں نقل مکانی کرنا پڑی۔اور پھر وہاں سے بھی چھوڑ کر ضلع لیہ میں ایک گاؤں میں تھوڑا عرصہ گزارنے  کے بعد چک نمبر 475 ٹی ڈی اے میں اپنی زمین خرید لی اور وہیں رہنے لگے۔ 
میرے ابتدائی بچپن میں، سب سے خوشی کی بات میرے ننھیال  کے ہاں جانا تھا ( شاید آج بھی ہے)،  تب ہم ضلع وہاڑی کے ایک گاؤں چک نمبر 174 ڈبلیوبی ”راجو“ میں رہتے تھے، میری پیدائش بھی وہیں کی ہے۔ ہم نے 1990ء یا 1991 میں ضلع لیہ کے ایک گاؤں میں نقل مکانی کی، یہ چک نمبر 349 ٹی ڈی   اے”رحمان آباد“  تھا۔ سن 2000ء کے 12 اگست  کو میں لاہور آیا اور یہیں کا ہوکر رہ گیا۔
5 فروری 2016ء کو میں اپنی مرحوم خالہ کے گھر والوں سے ملنے  فیصل آباد گیا تھا، اس تصویر میں  میرے خالو کو بائیں جانب دیکھا جا سکتا ہے۔ اس کا نام شیر ہے۔ درمیان میں ان کے بیٹے، ایم بوٹا شاہین اور دائیں طرف مسٹر عقیل (بوٹا شاہین کا بیٹا) موجود ہے۔ میرے خالو  1947ء کی خونی ہجرت کے چشم دید گواہ ہیں جب پاکستان کا قیام عمل میں آیا تھا۔ ان کی عمر اس وقت 13 یا 14 سال تھی  اور آگ اور خون کے منظرنامے میں اپنے آبائی گاؤں کو چھوڑ کر ایک قافلے کے ساتھ آئے تھے۔ ایم بوٹا  شاہین نے ایک مزدور کے طور پر 2 دہائیوں  تک ٹیکسٹائل ملز میں  مزدوری کی اور اب وہ اپنے گھر کے ایک کمرے میں  کریانہ(پرچون)  کی ایک چھوٹی سی دکان چلا   رہے ہیں۔ عقیل صاحب اب سکول میں تعلیم حاصل نہیں جاتے، حالانکہ وہ ایک بچہ ہے۔پاکستان میں اس لالچی معاشرےکے غلیظ نظام میں مناسب طریقے سے  تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے لئے، ایک بچے  کو بہت سے”مسائل“  سے نبرد آزما ہونا پڑتا ہے، جن میں سے کچھ کا اظہار ایک فلم ”تارے زمیں پر“ میں کیا گیا ہے۔

A Journey of 3 generations!!!

Recently, I've visited the district of Faisalabad, where my Khala (sister of

my mother) used to reside and she died in 2006. The village is called 'Gujjar Singh Wala 70/RB'. 

It is guessed that My mother was born in the same village (nearly) about 1962. Mother's parents are called "naankay" in Punjabi & "Nannhiyaal" in Urdu Language. My 'naankay' migrated from Gujjar Singh Wala to District Vehari (about 1970) & then to Layyah.They were farmers. Because of some reasons they had to move from the district of Faisalabad. They changed their residence twice in different villages in Layyah & Finally got their own Land in Chak no 475/TDA.

In my early childhood, the happiest thing was to visit my 'naankay-village'. My father's family lived in Chak no 174/WB in district Vehari. I was born their & our family migrated to District Layyah (Chak no 349/TDA) about 1990 or 1991. I came in Lahore on 12th of August in 2000 AD and I'm living here for last 15 & half years.

On 5th of February, 2016 I went to see the family members of my late Khala (sister of my mother). In this picture her husband (an old man) can be seen in left. His name is Shear. In the mid there is his son, M Boota Shaheen and on right hand side Mr Aqeel (Son of Boota Shaheen).

My Khalu (uncle) Shear is an eye witness of bloody migration of 1947, when Pakistan was made. He was a boy of 13 or 14 years at that time. He left his 'Hometown' with a Caravan in the scenario of Blood and fire.

M Boota Shaheen had been working in Textile Mills for 2 decades as a laborer. Now, he is running a small shop of Grocery (in Retail) in a room of his house.The young boy Mr Aqeel is not studying anymore in school, although he is a child yet.

There are many "problems" in Pakistan for a child to study properly in the filthy system of this greedy society. One can understand the issues by watching the movie 'Taare Zameen Par'.

 

The picture was taken in the morning of 6th of Februry, 2016 by me.

Progress Report and Feedback of Tyara

Tyara is one of our bright students residing in Perth, Australia. She started her lessons with us (E Learning Holy Quran) from 30th of January, 2013 with Arabic alphabets in Basic Book. After this book she read last two parts of Quran & 4 and half parts from right side.  At the end of 2013 she had a break for a short while, then came back in beginning of 2014 once again. She has learned Namaz (Salaat) and other necessary stuff about Islam. She also was taught a little bit Arabic grammar & some of the translation(s) of Quranic Text.
She is reading Surah al-Saffaat in part no 23, which is (in fact) 25th part for her. Now, 5 and half parts (out of 30 parts) are left more. Hopefully, she will be able to complete her Quran reading (for first time) at the end of April 2016, In-Sha-Allah.
Tyara has written and shared her experience with us, have a look at the feedback given below:
“Mr Abdul Razzaq Qadri has been my Quaranic Studies teacher for a few years now. This began firstly through the E-Learning Holy Qu’ran website which employed many teachers to teach the Qu’ran to students across the globe despite the company being based in Pakistan. This method proved very convenient and effective in fitting in these lessons with school and so when the company discontinued my parents and I struggled with finding a suitable replacement in terms of teaching abilities and convenience, so when he approached us again saying that he would be continuing his teaching online, we were very happy. During my lessons with Mr Abdul Razzaq Qadri I have not only been able to learn how to correctly pronounce sounds in the Arabic language (a language that I previously did not know how to read or speak) that helps me read more fluently, but also along with reading, I have learnt the meanings and stories behind each page I read. This gives me a purpose in reading the Quran as it helps me learn more in depth about my religion instead of just aimlessly reading something I don’t understand. If I ever need an explanation on a translation I don’t understand, his excellent English skills helps me understand it. I am a student fortunate enough to live in a country like Australia where we have very few Internet issues, and so sometimes we face net issues that occur over there but despite this, he does his best to keep the lessons going and if need be, arranges a suitable time for a make-up lesson which means you get the full value of your money.  Over all he is a very kind teacher who offers constructive criticism and possesses great abilities in teaching.”
